Yuzi continued: "This is a great idea, and the villagers were greatly surprised, and when they agreed, Brother B said, 'I want to buy these kumquats back and make candied fruits.' I've developed a unique flavor that will be very popular when it's done.'"

After saying this, Brother B said, 'I don't have enough money to buy your kumquats, but I promise to give you this money when the candied fruits are sold, and in order to show my sincerity, I would like to ask each of you to send a young man to my candied fruit workshop to help, so that they can keep an eye on me in case I run away, and secondly, they will be paid for their help, and the reward will be paid after the sale of this batch of candied fruits.' ’

He was afraid that the villagers would not believe him, so he continued: 'You can send someone to my new candied fruit workshop to have a look.' ’

So some of the villagers followed him suspiciously, and found that a long house had been built on a flat land not far from the entrance of their village.

The villagers immediately went back to tell the other villagers what they had seen, so they got together that night to discuss, and finally, they unanimously decided that they could sell kumquat to brother B, or send a young man from each household to help him in his candied fruit workshop, and as for the money and labor money of kumquats, they could also be given after he sold the candied fruit, but there was one condition, that is, he had to sign a guarantee, and this guarantee had to be handed over to the township government for justice.

The villagers felt that as long as Brother B dared to sign this contract with them and was willing to go to the township government to do justice, it would show that he sincerely wanted to cooperate with everyone, and then he could cooperate with confidence.

Early the next morning, the villagers informed Brother B of this idea, and Brother B immediately agreed.

As a result, the villagers of the seven villages put down their work to pick kumquats.

Therefore, Brother B designed thick rope conveyors in each village, saving the villagers the hard work of carrying the burden and the danger of walking on the mountain road.

In less than five days, all the kumquat from these seven villages was picked and arrived at Brother B's candied fruit workshop.

Then Brother B led a group of young people to make flavored preserves.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the first batch of candied fruit was prepared in ten days.

These candied fruits are made from Brother B's unique secret recipe, and the grains are golden and clear, and you will have a great appetite when you look at them.

After the entrance, these candied fruits are sweet and fragrant, and when chewed, they are soft and glutinous, so that the lips and teeth are left with a light clearness, and the more you chew, the more fragrant they are, which makes people want to eat them.

Brother B named them "Guangyi" brand kumquat candied fruits, and went to the township and county to ask people from the relevant gatekeepers to test them to ensure that they met the standards for consumption.

After all this last night, Brother B wrote on a big sign, "Guangyi brand kumquat can dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, regulate qi and relieve depression, eliminate food and sober up, and enhance people's physique." It can be directly used as a snack or soaked in water to drink, all year round", and then use a horse-drawn cart to sell them to the county seat.

At first, they were selling along the street, but they didn't expect it to be very popular, and many people who bought it came back to buy it, so they sold out a car in just one day.

After the sale, Brother B used part of the money from the sale to rent a small stall in the busiest neighborhood of the county and began to sell it in large quantities.

Within a month, all the kumquat preserves they made were sold out.

Brother B paid the villagers' kumquat and helpers as expressly stated in the contract, and then took out a third of the remaining money to expand the candied fruit processing factory, intending to make peach, plum, date, and winter melon preserves.

A few days ago, when he was observing the kumquat forests in these seven villages, he found that the villagers here also planted a lot of peach trees, plum trees, date palms and winter melons, so he wanted to further develop these kinds of candied fruits.

His idea was quickly supported by the local villagers, who reclaimed wasteland to grow the plants.

At the same time, he recruited a group of villagers as his regular employees.

In this way, most of the families in the village have a regular source of income, and those who do not have a regular source of income can also increase their income by planting a large number of these plants.

A year later, the villagers of Shichijo Village became a wealthy local village.

Brother B then offered to donate a sum of money to build the road.

Everyone agreed.

So within three months, a spacious road was opened to each village, helping everyone bid farewell to the previous troubles of difficult walking and inconvenient transportation.

With the transportation problem solved, the villagers have more opportunities to go outside and see the world.

Brother B also proposed to the township committee to set up a school in the village so that all school-age children in the seven villages could receive education, and expressed his willingness to be their teacher.

It was quickly passed.

A primary school was built on a piece of flat land not far from the entrance of the village to provide education for school-age children in these seven villages.

The news soon spread to the city, and the city sent officials down to visit, and when they found that the situation was true, they gave Brother B a certificate of honor and a small sum of money.

Soon after, the fame of 'Guangyi brand' candied fruit spread to the capital, when the emperor happened to be suffering from a severe cough and wanted to eat something appetizing and coughing, so he ordered a letter to brother B, asking him to bring some candied fruit into the palace.

Brother B was overjoyed when he learned about it, and personally brought a batch of candied fruit into the palace to meet the emperor.

After eating his candied fruit, the emperor felt refreshed and his throat was comfortable, and the previous cough problem was greatly relieved, and he was greatly pleased, and immediately rewarded his brother B and awarded him a plaque written in his own hand.

Brother B returned with honors.

That year, Brother B's candied fruit had already received orders from all over the world, including those from the Imperial Palace, and his reputation immediately spread.

Brother A, who was the head of the Ministry of Officials in the capital, learned of this, and sneered in his heart, "Even if you become famous again, you don't even have an official position, and you still can't compare to me in terms of achievements." ”

Another year passed, and the day of the two brothers meeting had arrived.

The two brothers arrived at the place where they had met that year.

After sitting down, Brother A said, "I was the head of the Ministry of Officials at the time, and I was a six-rank Beijing official, I don't know where you are now?"

Brother B replied with a smile: "I did not go to officialdom, but became a businessman and a school teacher. ”

Brother A immediately burst out laughing, raised his head and said to him: "In terms of rank, those who are officials are one level higher than those who are in business. In terms of individual rights, my words can change the situation in a province or even a country. In terms of social prestige, I am also much higher than you. Now, you're convinced, aren't you?"

Brother B still smiled slightly, and said: "Theoretically, what you said is not wrong, but everything can not only look at the theory, but also look at the actual effect, may I ask how much you have done for the people or the monarch in the years you have been an official?"
