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

Chapter 97 The Jam Workshop Opens

Qian Musheng ordered someone to find riddles for the lanterns, and the young waiter quickly went down to do so.

In no time, they brought out several lanterns, each with a riddle on the back, riddles that no one had ever solved in all these years.

The young waiter read aloud on stage: "Many brothers in one family, sitting side by side, whoever comes in, we will not let them go easily." This time he gave a clear scope for the answer: things that grow on a person.

Some of the guests in the audience also started guessing, racking their brains for an answer.

"This……"

Saburo gritted his teeth, wondering what it could be. He genuinely couldn't guess, but he was unwilling to fall behind.

"A hand has ten fingers, like ten brothers. Right?"

He asked the young waiter, but the waiter shook his head.

Qian Musheng was also a little confused. He was thinking about what these parts on his body were all about.

A little confused, Su Xiaoxiao immediately blurted out, "Is it teeth?"

Qian Musheng then gave the correct answer.

"teeth."

Su Xiaoxiao took the lead, and Qian Musheng said that Su Xiaoxiao was very impressive and he was willing to admit defeat.

"It's almost time, we should be going. Thank you, Young Master Qian, for bringing us to such a high-class place and broadening our horizons today."

Indeed, the private room was fully stocked with tea, snacks, and all sorts of fruits and treats, and both Da Bao and Xiao Bao were stuffed.

Of course, I'm not saying the two kids are unruly or have no future. These things are for them to eat, so why shouldn't they eat them?

However, Da Bao and Xiao Bao were not in a good mood, and San Lang still hadn't guessed a single riddle correctly.

Su Xiaoxiao carried their spoils and said goodbye to Qian Musheng. Qian Musheng watched Su Xiaoxiao's retreating figure and unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, a cold light shot over; it was Sanlang turning around to look at him.

Saburo glared at him fiercely, as if to say, "Don't you dare get any funny ideas! Don't get any wild thoughts."

The family of four happily went home, carrying lanterns shaped like little white rabbits, goldfish, and turtles. They had a very fruitful day, and Su Xiaoxiao was extremely satisfied.

Once the Lantern Festival (January 15th of the lunar calendar) is over, the New Year celebrations are considered finished.

Su Xiaoxiao chose a site near a bamboo forest not far from her home and began laying the foundation there.

Incidentally, Qian Musheng also supported the opening of the jam workshop, and he plans to invest in it.

Qian Musheng sent people to help with the construction of the factory building. This time, the workshop was quite large, and Qian Musheng seemed to be in a hurry, so the workshop was built very quickly.

The villagers of Baihua Village witnessed the spectacle. It had been a long time since their village had seen such a large-scale civil engineering project, and they were both curious and envious of Su Xiaoxiao.

No one expected that Su Xiaoxiao was actually quite capable; she had even managed to cooperate with the wealthy Qian family in town. Some people had never even been to town in their entire lives, let alone had any dealings with the Qian family.

After the workshop was built, Su Xiaoxiao came to check it out. It was a large courtyard surrounded by a high fence. Walking through the factory gate and a short distance further in, you could see the center of the workshop, which contained many small cubicles, with each step of the jam-making process having its own separate room.

This is mainly for food safety reasons, and also to ensure that every step of the jam-making process is kept secret and that trade secrets are not discovered.

The raising of the roof beams for the factory building was quite important, and Su Xiaoxiao, a big shot, had to be present, as did Qian Musheng.

Some curious villagers came over to watch. After the firecrackers stopped, Qian Musheng had someone wrap copper coins in oiled paper and then scatter them on the roof beams. The village head and other villagers all came over to offer their congratulations.

"Congratulations, Mr. Su."

Su Xiaoxiao quickly returned the greeting, and the village head also came to support her. This meant that Su Xiaoxiao's decision to build a factory in the village had the support of the village chief. Which other villager would dare to have any objections or say anything against it? No way.

There is also a canteen in the workshop, so the workers don't have to go back for lunch.

This time, the job openings don't necessarily have to be from this village; villagers from other villages are also welcome to come.

After a burst of fireworks and firecrackers, Qian Musheng made a dazzling appearance. Today, he was dressed especially handsomely, wearing a white long robe that only a handsome man could pull off. He had a silk ribbon tied around his head and was lost in thought. Coupled with his somewhat aloof personality, he looked unapproachable and had an otherworldly air about him.

The villagers had never seen such attire before, and their eyes widened in astonishment.

Qian Musheng was also wearing a fragrant sachet, a floral scent that was elegant and quite pleasant.

The young women and married women all gathered around, chattering excitedly behind Qian Musheng, as if they had encountered a big star out on the street.

But it's only here that we value those celebrities so much; the aura they've cultivated for them is just too dazzling.

In reality, those people are nothing more than tools put forward by capital to control the people. But thinking about it, it's not so bad to be such a high and dazzling tool.

We can never escape the fate of being harvested, so as leeks, we still yearn to become that sparkling dewdrop at the tip of the leek.

That's only one in tens of millions or hundreds of millions. It's mainly because we have such a large population that these dewdrops seem so important and so impressive.

The arrival of Qian Musheng caused quite a stir among the village women, who all asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Is he married? How old is he? We don't mind being his three wives or four concubines, or at the very least, being his maidservant. We'll do anything..."

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head directly, indicating that she didn't know Qian Musheng and that he was just a business partner.

Surrounded by these women asking all sorts of questions, Su Xiaoxiao was exasperated. She thought to herself: Aren't you all overthinking this?
Granny Wang went even further, coming over to congratulate Su Xiaoxiao, which Su Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't refuse.

Granny Wang walked up to Qian Musheng and looked him up and down thoroughly. Her face crinkled into a wide smile. "Are you young master Qian?" she asked.

Although Qian Musheng did not recognize the old woman, he greeted all the villagers who came to congratulate him at the workshop in a very friendly manner.

However, it was limited to greetings, and there was no in-depth communication.

Granny Wang quickly pulled out her daughter, Liu Xiugu, who was acting coy and hesitant behind her.

"This is my daughter, Liu Xiugu. She's sixteen this year. Hurry up and greet her! You good-for-nothing, you always hide behind me. Hehe, don't laugh at me, Young Master Qian!"

Liu Xiugu looked like an ordinary village girl; well, she was considered pretty in the village.
