Chapter 77 Going to Ganzhou Prefecture
Lu Tao, Liu San Niang, Tian Xiang...
The three of them were so surprised that their mouths dropped open!
After a while, Tian Xiang was the first to find her voice.
"Sweetie, I've never heard of any of these things you're talking about."
Tian Xiang had lived in the county for three years and had never heard of her, let alone Lu Tao and Liu San Niang.
Tian Tian chuckled, "You guys are all too busy, unlike me, I think about these things whenever I have a spare moment."
"The more you think, the more ideas you'll have."
As she said this, Tian Tian looked at Tian Jinghe.
Tian Jinghe's eyes shone brightly; only he knew that it was the fairy who taught his second sister to do these things.
This was a secret between him and his second sister.
"My sister just overthinks things..." he said, trying to cover for her.
Tian Xiang smiled and said, "Sweetie's ideas are all good, so let's go with Sweetie's ideas."
Tian Tian took Tian Jinghe's hand and said, "Then it's settled."
"Once I return from Ganzhou Prefecture, I will start trying out the new dishes."
What she said...
She had eaten most of them and seen the recipes on short videos, but had never actually tried making them herself.
So... we need to try again.
"You're going to Ganzhou Prefecture?" Everyone was surprised again.
Tian Tian nodded, "Of course, our steamed buns are going to be transported to Ganzhou Prefecture to sell, so of course I have to go and see how the response is."
Lu Tao looked at Tian Xiang; she was worried...
But Tian Xiang now has to take care of two children and can't accompany Tian Tian to Ganzhou Prefecture.
A steamed bun shop can't function without people...
"Mom, don't worry, I'll have Uncle Zhang go with me."
Lately, besides picking them up and dropping them off, Zhang Fusheng has been helping her clear the land.
"Weren't we going to buy Chuxing Restaurant these past few days? Now that you've gone to Ganzhou Prefecture, what will happen to the restaurant?" Tian Xiang asked.
Tian Tian: "When the time comes, I'll leave the money with you, and you can take care of it."
Liu San Niang nodded, "That will work too."
That night, everyone discussed and made decisions on many things.
I also ate a lot of dumplings.
Chu Qian and Chu Yao ate quite a lot of the various shapes of dough that the children carved out, which were then cooked until very soft.
That night, everyone, young and old, slept soundly.

The five horses were given antibiotics for several days and their pneumonia was cured.
It's a completely different situation from five days ago.
Especially that warhorse, after it recovered from its illness, it was incredibly majestic and spirited.
The other four horses were completely subservient to it.
The carpenter's shop delivered the car frame that Tian Tian had ordered.
This frame is completely different from the frames of this era.
The wood used around the perimeter and below is very thick, and the mortise and tenon structure is reinforced with iron sheets, making it very sturdy.
To prevent the horses from being unable to support the weight of the refrigerator when the vehicle stops, causing it to sway and thus affecting its performance, retractable posts were added to the four corners of the frame.
When parking, the four telescopic pillars can be lowered to support the entire frame and ensure that the refrigerator on top does not shake significantly.
Tian Tian fixed three photovoltaic panels on both sides and the back of the vehicle frame.
The fully charged power bank is placed at the front of the frame and fixed next to the driver.
Connect all the wires...
Tian Tian bought two freezers from her spatial storage.
The refrigerator fit perfectly onto the car frame exactly as she wished.
The refrigerator is plugged into a power bank and turned on... the compressor starts working.

The next day was the delivery day, and Manager Chen's convoy arrived.
Five thousand catties of bean curd sheets had been prepared long ago, with two catties packed in each brown paper bag, for a total of two thousand five hundred paper bags.
They were stacked one by one on the carriages, filling six carriages in total.
Tian Tian's first refrigerated truck had two refrigerators, which could hold a total of 2,400 steamed buns.
There are now three types of fillings for the steamed buns, eight hundred of each, and each bag is marked on the outside.
Manager Chen was astonished when he saw Zhang Fusheng driving out in a refrigerated carriage.
He had never seen a carriage like this before.
The sides and back of the carriage were dark and segmented, I couldn't tell what they were.
Inside is a white... cabinet?
"Miss Tian, your carriage..."
Tian Tian sat down next to Zhang Fusheng. "This is a horse-drawn carriage I ordered specifically for delivering steamed buns."
As for what the difference was, she simply wouldn't say.
"Let's go."
Zhang Fusheng had never driven a horse-drawn carriage before, so he followed the method for driving an oxcart...
Tian Tian patted the warhorse's rump, "Good boy, just follow the carriage in front."
The warhorse raised its head, puffing out hot air repeatedly. "Don't worry, I'm a warhorse!"
As for Zhang Fusheng... well, he just needs to follow the carriage in front.
It takes three days to travel from Yunzhou Prefecture to Ganzhou Prefecture, but Manager Chen timed it very well, always managing to arrive at a county town before nightfall.
Tian Tian silently noted down the time so that she could better manage her time if she walked this path alone in the future.
Manager Chen was very careful; he would always arrange for someone to stay by the carriage whenever he stopped.
After three days of travel, they arrived at the city of Ganzhou Prefecture without any incident.
At the entrance of the prefectural city, Manager Chen showed his tax certificate and then paid the travel permit fee before he could bring his goods in.
"Once we arrive at the shop, we'll have to pay the market entry tax," Manager Chen explained to Tian Tian upon entering Ganzhou Prefecture.
These taxes must be paid; otherwise, if you encounter officials checking your goods, they will be confiscated.
"Fortunately, the court has been very stable recently, and various taxes have been reduced considerably."
Tian Tian kept all of this in mind...
Manager Chen led the caravan to his shop.
The sign outside the shop reads "Guangfengxing," implying a wide variety of goods and abundant wealth.
"The shopkeeper is back."
"Shopkeeper."
The drivers went to the back to unload the goods, while Manager Chen led Tian Tian in through the front door.
The shop was large, with counters all around the inside, displaying various goods.
Several simply but neatly dressed shop assistants were busy organizing goods and serving customers who came to make purchases.
The sounds of bargaining filled the air...
"Manager Chen's business is quite large," Tian Tian praised.
Fabrics, jewelry, porcelain, spices, and even tea... the goods were so plentiful it was like a small supermarket.
"The shopkeeper is back? Do you still have the bean curd sheets you brought back from Yunzhou Prefecture last time?"
“You said last time that it would be available in a few days, but it’s been almost a month now.”
Shopkeeper Chen smiled awkwardly. The one he mentioned last time was the bean curd skin from the tofu shop in the north of Baishi County.
He brought it back, but when he opened it, he found that the bean curd sheets had black mold spots on them.
That was food, so he didn't dare sell it.
"I've got it, I've got it." Manager Chen was no longer worried. Miss Tian's packaging was so good and secure that he knew there was no problem without even opening it.
"I just got back. The guys are unloading in the backyard, and they'll be loading soon."
The guest was also delighted, saying, "But I've been waiting for this for ages; my wife and daughter have been talking about it every day."
Taking the opportunity, Manager Chen recommended the steamed buns, "I also brought back some snacks this time. Would Manager Yang like to try them later?"
