In the days that followed, Wang Shunyou led the villagers in planting tree saplings. Thanks to Lin Moyang’s approach, the county authorities no longer held the Qingshuitang Pond incident against them, and their eligibility for the selection process was restored.
As for Lin Moyang, he was out from dawn until dusk every day. Besides delivering chili peppers to Zuo Linna, he also accompanied her to negotiate partnerships with various merchants in Pojiao. Naturally, they also visited quite a few business owners in the county town. Everything went smoothly; every merchant who tasted Zuo Linna’s chili oil was highly satisfied, praising it as exquisite. Zuo Linna was likely the first person in the entire county to make chili oil this delicious. With such an advantage, they had already signed contracts with over a dozen shops, waiting only to deliver the stock.
The workshop currently handled only mountain products and dried goods, so there was little need to worry about packaging. However, for Zuo Linna’s chili oil, Lin Moyang drew up a label design based on memories from his past life—identical to the one that had left such a deep impression on the public: a cylindrical glass bottle with a red label. Zuo Linna’s portrait was in the center, flanked by a concise four-character description, with all relevant details like the ingredient list, manufacturer address, and production and expiration dates clearly displayed.
