Xiao Sheng looked at the golden-colored sachima and picked up a piece to take a bite curiously. His eyes lit up. “Although it has been fried, the texture is soft and fluffy. It’s sweet but not greasy. The taste is velvety and smooth. It tastes better than the pastries I sold previously! Although the soufflé is also delicious, it’s slightly inferior in terms of layering.”

When Jiang Chun heard Xiao Sheng’s high evaluation, she also ate a piece curiously. As she ate, she asked in surprise, “Where is this snack from? It’s so delicious! Where did you learn how to make it? This snack will definitely sell out!”

Yu Bing smiled. “Sachima is a Manchu snack, but it’s popular in the western and the capital region. I read about it in a book before. I didn’t expect to succeed in one go.”

The first part was true, but the second part was purely made up by Yu Bing. This was one of the snacks she started a business on in her previous life. Previously, she didn’t make it because of the cost and the limitations concerning the raw materials.

After Xiao Sheng finished a piece, he said confidently, “We can definitely make a huge profit during this Spring Festival. I previously contacted two people in City H who can help us distribute the goods. It’s time to put them to good use!”

Sachima was considered a new product in this province and city. Moreover, the method of making it was more complicated than that of the previous pastries. There was sugar, eggs, and dried goods scattered on the surface. They were all nutritional products of this era. Many people would definitely be interested.

Therefore, Xiao Sheng didn’t plan to disperse them in the county. He directly helped Brother Qiang distribute the goods. The simplified version was sold for 1.1 yuan per kilogram, and the deluxe version was 1.5 yuan per kilogram.

The price set by the city was 1.3 yuan per pound for the simplified version and 1.7 yuan for the deluxe version.

Sachima had been selling like hotcakes during the period before the New Year. They were busy until the 27th before they stopped supplying all channels.

The three of them started checking their accounts around the kerosene lamp at night. The last dividend was in October. It was almost three months now, and there were new products added midway. Even Yu Bing was looking forward to it.

After checking, Xiao Sheng got 586.8 yuan, while Yu Bing and Jiang Chun got 440.1 yuan each.

During the first dividend, Jiang Chun had been excited for a few days after receiving more than a hundred yuan. Now, looking at the thick stack of money in her hand, she could barely even speak properly.

Although the accounting had always been done by Xiao Sheng, he was still excited when he received them. Ever since he started working with Yu Bing, the money he had earned in the past half a year was an amount that he had to save up for two years in the past.

At night, Xiao Sheng looked at the recorded money amount in his notebook. After so many years, he had saved a total of 2,830.6 yuan. It was still far from the surgery fee that Elder Lu had mentioned, but he had only contacted two individuals in the city. At this moment, Xiao Sheng wanted to speed up the opening of the city’s channels.

After Jiang Chun returned home, she took the money and walked around the house to find a place to hide it, but she felt that it wasn’t safe to hide it anywhere.

As Yu Bing watched Jiang Chun’s actions, she couldn’t help but laugh. “Stop pacing back and forth like this.”

Only then did Jiang Chun stop in her tracks. Her face was filled with worry. “Little Bing, where do you think I should put this money? I keep feeling that others can guess where I put it.”

Yu Bing smiled and glanced at Jiang Chun. “Others will guess where your money is based on the premise that you’re rich. Do you think the two of us are dressed better than the others in the village? We look no different from others when standing in a crowd. Who can tell that you have money?”

Jiang Chun slapped her thigh and said in admiration, “You’re right. I originally thought that since I only had one jacket that had a few patches, I might as well buy cloth to make a new one. Now that I think about it, it’s better to keep a low profile! I want to add a few more patches now.”

Yu Bing was amused by Jiang Chun. “Let’s just act normal. Too much is as bad as not enough. Just be moderate. Adjust your mentality first. Don’t think of yourself as rich yet. Just treat it as if you’re holding five yuan.”

Jiang Chun said angrily, “If it’s really five yuan, I’ll hide it in my socks every day.”

After saying that, she looked around and took out a handkerchief to wrap it in before wrapping it in a layer of parchment paper. Finally, she placed it in a small jar and moved the jar of pickled vegetables in the corner of the room away. She dug a hole in the ground below and turned to Yu Bing to ask in a low voice, “Do you want to put it here with mine? I think this place is the best place to hide it!”
