Chapter 47: Episode 39: A Path to Wealth

It was only at this point that Pan Ping'an finally voiced his true purpose for visiting today.

Who was he? He was a bona fide businessman! Any trader who sees a profitable business would rush towards it like ants to honey, wouldn't they?

Although ordinary folks may not be connoisseurs of fine food, they can generally discern what's delicious. Living in the Provincial City with his family and not lacking food or clothing, Pan Ping'an would occasionally buy some pastries and candied fruits for his children, and sometimes he'd taste them too. On his return to the Pan Family in Fire Knife Village, no sooner had he settled in than his grandfather proudly presented the Orange Cake and Crispy Yellow Turnip made by Hua Xiaomai. After everyone in the family had praised the taste, and upon learning that the maker was none other than the sister of their next-door neighbor Hua Erniang, Pan Ping'an quickly recognized the business opportunity.
