After the introduction, everyone nodded and praised repeatedly.

"Candy made from goat's milk? It's called milk candy? No wonder it smells like milk!"

"Oh, this goat milk has so many benefits? My kid is very skinny, doesn't like to eat, and grows slowly. I have to buy him some more and ask him to eat a few every day!"

"My wrists and knees hurt every day, and my legs cramp! I have to buy more!"

"Beauty and skin care? Then I'll buy some for my wife!"

"I……"

Li's is now well-known in Luoshui City. People have no doubts or hesitations at all and they all come up to express their desire to buy.

The waiter quickly introduced the prices. There are three types of packages: large, medium and small.

A large bag contains 68 pills. Simple ones like round, square or triangular ones cost 100 wen each, while more complicated ones like animal or flower shapes cost 110 wen each.

The medium package contains forty pills, the former ones are 60 wen each, and the latter ones are 70 wen each.

There are twenty pills in a small bag, the former one is thirty cents per bag, and the latter one is forty cents per bag.

In short, the animal and flower-shaped ones are ten cents more expensive than the others.

After hearing the price, those who have money will buy a big bag. If it is not for children or wives, it doesn’t matter whether you buy round or square bags for yourself, they all taste the same. But children, don’t they like the animal shape? Don’t wives like the flower shape?
Guests flocked to the place, including those who were on good terms with the Ding family, including shopkeepers Wang Mian and Huang, who all came to take care of the business.

On the day when Li's Sugar Shop opened, it was packed with people and was extremely popular. Within just one day, the words "milk slices" spread throughout the entire Luoshui city and soon spread to other counties, towns and the provincial capital.

As for the provincial capital, people had heard of the milk slices a long time ago. Mainly because the provincial capital is a big place, the Liu family’s fructose shop in the neighboring Changzhou started selling these milk slices half a month ago.

Although I was curious as to why the Liu family didn't sell it in Bingzhou first, wealthy families didn't mind the effort, and many of them sent people to Changzhou to buy it.

It turned out that everyone in the family, young and old, loved it after I bought it.

The fructose I used to eat required some chewing, and as I’m old and my teeth are not in good condition, I didn’t dare to eat it confidently. But this milk tablet is different. It slowly melts in your mouth and is sweet and fragrant. It’s really good.

Those wealthy families have at least 10, 20 or even dozens of people in their family. They have the money, so they naturally buy it as a snack, just like fructose.

It’s just that it’s not available in Zhoucheng, and it’s a bit troublesome to go to Changzhou to buy it. So someone came to Liu Dong’s house to ask, why doesn’t the fructose shop in Zhoucheng sell this milk tablet?

Mr. Liu said with a smile that Li’s Candy Shop in the state capital would open soon.

Everyone has heard that he is cooperating with the Li family in Luoshui City, the Li family who owns the herbal medicine restaurant, so they know what is going on after hearing this.

Sure enough, within a few days, Li Ji Candy Shop located in the south and north of the city also opened on the same day.

On the opening day, the scene was even grander than that in Luoshui City. It was truly a grand occasion.

Shi Liu was in charge of production, while Ding Fuguang was busy opening shops in various places in Bingzhou.

By early June, Li's candy shops had opened throughout the provincial capital of Bingzhou, as well as the capital of Daming Prefecture and the eight counties under its jurisdiction.

Then it spread slowly, and by the end of the year, Li Ji Candy Shops had opened one after another in the nearby Dacheng Prefecture and Daliang Prefecture.

With the help of Mr. Liu, it is not difficult to open a shop in this unfamiliar prefecture and county. But that is a story for later.

The sugar shop in Luoshui City has just opened. A few days ago, it opened in the provincial capital and is preparing to open in the prefectural capital.

The milk produced by the sheep in the two Ding families' farms and the Erli Village in Shiliu is made into milk powder on the farms and then sent to Xianggupo. The same is true for Xiahe Village and Tianbao Village.

Of course, there are more than just these two villages that raise sheep in the surrounding area. When other villages heard that the Li family was collecting goat milk and wool, they naturally came to inquire.

Shi Liu asked them to just shear the sheep's wool and send it to her. As for goat milk, she would also collect it. She would directly ask the people who came to ask about it to go to each household in the village to see how milk powder was made. Then they would make their own milk powder and sell it.

There were also some wealthy families who had farms and raised sheep, and Shi Liu specially sent people to negotiate with them. Although the wealthy families were not short of this little money, they still had to raise sheep, and being able to sell them for some income was also a benefit for the farm. Even if they were not interested, the farmers were happy about it, so Shi Liu did not stop them and just let the head of the farm make the final decision.

As for the areas under the jurisdiction of other counties, Shi Liu couldn't take care of them for the time being, so he transferred some servants from the newly acquired Dazaozhuang and sent them to the counties under the jurisdiction of Daming Prefecture, specifically to be responsible for the purchase of the goat milk powder.

The round trip distance is not too far, so I was able to develop my own small fleet.

Ding Fuguang had experience in motorcade matters, and he was the one who took care of the arrangements.

With such a sufficient supply of milk, the milk slice workshop is also very productive and can supply the milk no matter how good the business is.

On this day, Shi Liu had just seen off Liu Dongjia's convoy that came to transport meat floss and other goods, and received a batch of wool, and was asking people to move it to Xianggupo.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside the village.

When I looked up, I saw several yamen runners blowing gongs and drums and entering Shanghe Village opposite.

Shi Liu's eyebrows twitched. Counting the days, it seemed that the results of the provincial examination were about to be announced?
Sure enough, people from Xiahe Village also went to watch the fun, and soon ran back to shout all over the village.

"The county yamen runners came to report the good news. I heard that seven people from Xiahe Village across the street passed the imperial examination this year!"

Chief Li, who was walking out with a cane, asked hurriedly, "Seven hits? Oh my! That's incredible! Which family is it?"

The man said, "There were too many people, so I couldn't see them all clearly, but there was Fan Qing, the youngest son of Fan Hongsheng who made the flower cakes, the grandson of the head of the Fan family, and the son of the teacher of the Fan family school... Oh, and your daughter-in-law's nephew also won the prize!"

When Patriarch Li heard that his daughter-in-law's nephew had also won the prize, he immediately became happy. He quickly went home on crutches and told his daughter-in-law the news so that she could go back to her parents' home to congratulate him.

This is a real nephew, not like Mr. Fan who passed the imperial examination and is several generations away from him.

Shi Liu didn't ask anyone. When Li Rongzhang came back from school in the evening, she knew the result.

Li Rongzhang came back with a grin on his face and shouted to her, "Fan Qingfu passed the exam! He ranked pretty well, 33rd! And Senior Brother Fan Jin also passed!"

Speaking of Fan Jin's success, Li Rongzhang was obviously more surprised. "Although his ranking is lower than Fan Qing's, he is still No. 37. He actually passed the exam!"

When Shi Liu heard that his "fellow villager" had passed the provincial examination, he couldn't help but smile.

I wonder how much of the original owner's memory this "fellow villager" has received, or if the original owner was simply a very good reader?

It's pretty good to be able to rank 37th in the provincial examination.

She didn't know anything else, but she knew that Sun Wenming from the village had passed the imperial examination last, which made the Sun family so happy that they seemed to be beaming with joy.

After being happy, Shi Liu asked someone to prepare a gift and send it to Fan Jin's house. It was obviously sent in the name of her elder brother, after all, they were friends.

But secretly, it was also a congratulations from her "fellow villager" to her "fellow villager".
