After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 68 The Visit of Manager Wang
Su Xiaoxiao drove the oxcart towards the town at breakneck speed.

Upon arriving at Ci'an Hall in town, Su Xiaoxiao found Mr. Li and recounted the entire incident.

Mr. Li and Su Xiaoxiao are no longer so distant with each other. Last time, Su Xiaoxiao stood up for her family in front of Ci'an Hall and rejected the bitter barley brought by Granny Liu and Li Dongmei, saying that Ci'an Hall would no longer purchase medicinal materials from outsiders.

Su Xiaoxiao is not only magnanimous, but also very righteous.

Mr. Li had a good impression of her, so he made a point of treating Su Xiaoxiao first and even wrote her a prescription despite his busy schedule.

"This recipe is all you need. Also, tell the family to make more crucian carp soup, pig's feet and soybean soup, and pork rib and lotus root soup for the new mother. These are the ones that help stop milk production faster."

Su Xiaoxiao wrote everything down very carefully. Mr. Li told Su Xiaoxiao to follow the recipe written on it and not to eat any cold or raw foods.

However, these things shouldn't be eaten in excess. They can be nourishing, but eating too much can have the opposite effect.

After giving his instructions, Mr. Li specifically asked the young apprentice to help Su Xiaoxiao get the medicine before he went out to see other patients.

Su Xiaoxiao now truly admires Mr. Li of Ci'an Hall and is filled with gratitude.

Su Xiaoxiao went to town and bought some pig's trotters, ribs, lotus root, and other things to bring to Aunt Wang.

She delivered the prescription to Aunt Wang's house. At that time, the newborn baby was still crying in Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law's arms. The child had never been able to drink milk and was growing thin and weak.

Back then, there was no such thing as formula milk, so Aunt Wang and the others made a little bit of rice cereal for the baby to drink. However, rice cereal alone couldn't satisfy the little infant. The whole family was extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

Su Xiaoxiao first placed the prescription in front of Aunt Wang and told her that it was a total of three courses of treatment, as well as pig's trotters and ribs. She then explained to Aunt Wang how to take the medicine and how to make nourishing soup.

Grandma Wang was so moved that tears streamed down her face. "Grandma Wang, don't worry, judging from the way your little granddaughter is making noise, she'll definitely grow up healthy. Listen to how energetically she's making those noises!"

"Thank you for your kind words, you will definitely grow up well."

This is the Wang family's first granddaughter. Although she was premature, she looks to be growing up quite well. With Su Xiaoxiao's help, everything is going very smoothly.

"Xiaoxiao, I'll remember your kindness this time. If you ever need any help in the future, just tell me. Even if I can't help you, I'll ask my nephew to help you."

It turns out that the nephew that Aunt Wang was talking about was the village head.

They are relatives. Granny Wang is a very influential person in the village. Not only has her family lived in the village for many years, but they are also kind and generous, never offending anyone, and have a good reputation in the village.

Li Zheng is Wang Da Niang's nephew, and this time Wang Da Niang is truly convinced of Su Xiao Xiao's character.

She regarded Su Xiaoxiao as her savior and felt she had to repay Su Xiaoxiao's kindness no matter what.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "No need. You've helped me a lot before, Aunt Wang. Don't worry about this little thing."

Su Xiaoxiao stayed at Aunt Wang's house for a while, then went up the mountain to meet up with Sun and the others.

Sun and her group were working very hard today, and they had picked baskets full of oranges. When Su Xiaoxiao arrived, they had already finished and were preparing to go home. Su Xiaoxiao saw that they had almost finished picking all the fruit in the orchard, so she led Sun and her group deeper into the mountains to see if there were any oranges there.

As it turns out, there was a large area of ​​fruit trees over there, but no one had gone to pick the fruit, and the trees were already full of oranges.

Su Xiaoxiao could tell from the orange trees that they were quite old and tall; picking the fruit would require climbing up the trees.

However, Saburo came up with a good idea: to use a bamboo pole to knock the fruit down from the tree first, and then pick it up after it fell to the ground.

However, this method had already been tried, and the oranges would fall to the ground and rot. If it were used to make jam, Su Xiaoxiao was afraid it would affect the taste of the jam.

Su Xiaoxiao now strictly controls the quality of the jam and dares not be negligent in any way.

Upon seeing this, Wang Er said, "I can climb trees, I'll go up and pick them for you."

It turns out that Wang Er can climb trees. He climbed up the orange tree and started picking oranges.

Sanlang and Sun used baskets below to catch the fish, and they finished catching them quickly.

That day, everyone had a very fruitful day, picking nearly five large baskets of oranges. On the way home, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that this had taken up too much time.

If the jam business continues to be so good and demand exceeds supply, it will take them a lot of time to climb trees and pick fruit. This is not a good thing. Considering the time involved, they don't need to keep wasting time like this.

Picking oranges like this is really tiring. Su Xiaoxiao even went to town today and went up the mountain again in the afternoon. She felt like her bones were about to fall apart, and that's no exaggeration.

After all, she had never done such heavy work before. Sun and Wang Er were both people who had done physical labor, but they didn't feel tired at all.

Saburo was in poor health and was still recovering from his injury. Everyone took good care of him, only asking him to help with chores like picking oranges.

He wasn't asked to do any heavy work. On the way back, Sun and Wang Er happily sang a few lines of a folk song. The song echoed back and forth in the valley. Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand the lyrics, she felt that they were singing some kind of love song.

She glanced at Sanlang, and at that moment Su Xiaoxiao felt a little red-faced, as if she was shy for some reason.

It was getting dark. After delivering the oranges to Su Xiaoxiao's house, Sun and the others left. Just as Su Xiaoxiao and Sanlang were about to carry the oranges home, they suddenly heard the sound of bells outside the door, and a caravan of carriages was approaching.

The carriages stopped directly in front of Su Xiaoxiao's house. Su Xiaoxiao was taken aback, thinking to herself, "Such a fancy procession of carriages, who are they looking for? Are they here to see me?"
After the carriage stopped, the driver got off first, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted up, and a middle-aged man got off the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao recognized the man immediately; he was none other than Manager Wang from the Eight Immortals Restaurant.

Before Su Xiaoxiao could even speak, Manager Wang greeted her with a beaming smile, jogged a few steps, and humbly approached her, saying, "Boss Su, you're finally back."

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't very surprised and said to him, "Manager Wang, what brings you here today?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Wang quickly replied, "I came here today specifically for the jam matter, as you should know, my wife."
