Bai Xu understood what she meant, and was overjoyed.
“Are you going to sell me the secret technique of turning brown sugar into white sugar?”
He has already prepared everything. If Shi Qingluo will only sells him sugar, he will accept it. But to say he didn’t want the actual method, it would be a lie.
Shi Qingluo nodded: “That’s right, otherwise why would I ask you to bring brown sugar? Of course, I want to show you the method.”
Bai Xu said in surprise: “That’s a good thing.”
He asked: “How do you want to sell it?”
This was not to hand over the initiative to Shi Qinglou, but he was more likely successfully adapted to changes.
If the price met his expectation, he will agree directly.
If the price was too high, he will bargain.
Shi Qingluo couldn’t see what was going on in his mind, and she didn’t point it out.
It just so happened that Bai Xu followed her rhythm.
“1000 taels of silver, plus 20% of the sugar profit.”
If the Bai family wants to buy sugar, they must spend money to open up many joints.
In addition, the acquisition, decolorization, and sale will be all done by the Bai family, so she only needs 20%.
Bai Xu frowned slightly, one thousand taels was fine, but 20% of the profit, he felt it was too high.
“I can give you 10% of the profit.” He knew that he would buy it out directly with money. Given how smart and difficult this woman was, she would not agree.
Shi Qingluo said bluntly: “I am a straightforward person, and I don’t like to beat around the bush, so what I call is the real price.”
“If you agree, we will sign the contract. I will do it on the spot to show you the proof.”
“If you disagree, just pretend that I didn’t show you white sugar today.”
She didn’t choose to go into business in modern times because she didn’t like devious ways and some intrigue.
In this ancient times, technology was in her hands, so she has the confidence to be so straightforward, whether she likes to do it or not.
“20% of the profit is nothing compared to the huge profits you get from mastering this technology.”
“In addition to making money, this will also help you to promote the name of the Bai family, allowing you to get in touch with some people.”
She looked at Bai Xu with a half-smile and continued, “It’s like growing flowers. You like it, but you can use these flowers to make a fuss.”
Bai Xu: “… …”
This woman’s eyes are poisonous.
He didn’t expect, she can see it.
He felt that even women from aristocratic families in the capital were afraid that they would not be able to see so far. How could a village girl?
So he couldn’t help but look at Xiao Hanzheng, could it be he taught her?
Xiao Hanzheng saw his thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: “My wife is the apprentice of Old Immortal Master, so she is very powerful.”
No need to mention Bai Xu, even though he was amazed at his little wife’s vision and intelligence at first.
Such a little wife was not taught by him.
It was also because of his bizarre experience of reincarnation that he can guess that the origin of his little wife was not simple and that she was not a real village girl.
But Bai Xu and others have never experienced these bizarre things, so they don’t think too much about it.
Besides, the reasons they throw out can also stand firm.
Shi Qingluo also echoed with a smile: “That’s right, my master ascended to immortality, so everything that happened to me is possible.”
Anyway, it was just such an explanation, it doesn’t matter whether he believes it or not.
Bai Xu: “… …”
I believe you are a ghost.
But after thinking about it, if not, how could this woman know so much? It seems that it can’t be said.
Don’t mention it, he was almost convinced… …
He thought for a while and asked: “Is the method you use difficult? Is it expensive?”
Shi Qinglou replied: “Not troublesome, the cost is very low.”
Bai Xu thought for a while, and then said: “Yes, if I can turn brown sugar into white sugar similar to that in your jar, I will give you one thousand taels, and take out 20% of the profit.”
“But the profit can only be calculated after one month. After all, in the first month, I have to pay for some relationships.”
To do this kind of business, he has to find a backer so that others can’t touch him in this regard, so he has to bleed first.
“You still have to promise me that when you raise rare famous flowers, you have to give them priority to sell to me.”
“Either I’ll sell it for you, or you sell it to me, and I’ll resell it.”
Although he still doesn’t believe that this woman can grow the flowers she said, in view of the previous slap in the face, he still thinks that she can grow them.
Anyway, be prepared.
“And if you have any new good things in the future, it’s best to give me a priority.”
Shi Qingluo didn’t think deeply like him, she had already guessed these conditions.
“No problem, I will give priority to you, but if it is a big business, I may do it with other companies, so you can’t force it to be exclusive.”
“And I have another request, I want to buy livestock with your uncle, you have to build a line.”
She also made it clear in advance.
Bai Xu was also straightforward this time, “Okay.”
So Xiao Hanzheng went to get the pen and paper and signed a contract with Bai Xu in his name.
Of course, it was agreed in advance that if Shi Qingluo was unable to turn brown sugar into white sugar, or if the cost was too high and troublesome, this contract would be void.
After signing, Shi Qingluo did it in front of Bai Xu with the yellow mud water drizzle method.
Watching the brown sugar turn into snow-white sugar, Bai Xu was still stunned. That was it? Is that simple?
After seeing it with his own eyes, he was still very shocked, but it works.
He sighed after a while: “Your master is amazing.”
The Taoist Priest was in Nanxi County back then, why didn’t he think of visiting him? Pity.
Shi Qingluo looked at him with regret, a little bit dumbfounded.
But it seems that the excuses and brainwashing of this young man were very useful.
“Of course, I am a real person.”
Bai Xu: “… …”
He doesn’t believe this.
He asked her to write down the method carefully again.
Then let Xiao Si go back to Bai Family’s Mansion to get one thousand taels.
Then Shi Qinglou went to the kitchen and instructed Xiao Baili to make several special tofu dishes that had not been mentioned before.
Bai Xu tasted the tofu dishes separately, and his eyes showed surprise again.
“This tofu is really good for cooking.”
He asked again: “Apart from these, can you cook other dishes?”
Shi Qingluo nodded, “Of course, tofu can make nearly a hundred dishes, and I can write some for you.”
She has never eaten so many tofu dishes, but her cousin has collected them all.
Bai Xu said with a smile on his face: “Okay, this tofu starts tomorrow, I want to order.”
He asked: “By the way, can this thing be kept in the capital for cooking?”
Shi Qingluo shook her head: “You can’t.”
There was no fresh-keeping equipment here, and the time cannot be kept for a long time.
Bai Xu thought about it: “Why don’t you sell me the method of making tofu?”
Shi Qingluo shook her head: “This method is not for sale.”
The tofu was the easiest to sell wholesale to the public. She also hopes that the tofu will gain a reputation and be tied to the interests of the villagers and even many people in Nanxi County.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the villagers to buy and resell sugar and paper every day. The demand in the county was not that great, and the cost was too expensive, so it was not suitable.
Just when Bai Xu was disappointed, she changed the subject again: “But I can make some tofu skin, fermented bean curd, etc. in the future. When the soy products come out, you can use them to cook in the capital.”
Bai Xu nodded: “Okay, then you have to tell me.”
Shi Qingluo smiled: “No problem.”
After dinner, Bai Xu handed over the one thousand taels brought by Xiao Si to Shi Qingluo, and the two each took a contract.
Shi Qingluo had just put away the banknotes when people from the Shi family suddenly came to the door.
Seeing this, Bai Xu consciously took Xiao Si and left.
