Chapter 65: Just trust me

Bai Xu didn’t believe it.

He has seen many luxury houses in the capital, and he doesn’t think that a house in the mountain village can make him envious and eye-opening.

Shi Qingluo could see that he didn’t believe it, but she didn’t bother to explain.

After all, discussing the combination of ancient and modern with pure ancients was completely boring.

Sure enough, it was better to be with her husband. He believes in everything, and they also have a special common language, a soul mate!

Hey, just mentioning this, she suddenly missed her little husband.

Shi Qinglou waved her hand, “Let’s not talk about it, if you want this three-color chrysanthemum, just quote a price. If you don’t want it, I’ll ask someone else to take it to the capital and sell it.”

Bai Xu hurriedly said: “Of course I want it.”

“How about this, let’s still value the rarest thing, just this one plant, I’ll give you three hundred taels, how about it?”

The red, yellow, and pink chrysanthemums growing in one plant were even more rare than purple chrysanthemums. If he takes them to the capital to resell them, the price should not be low.

The main point was that what he will sell was very rare, which was conducive to his reputation.

Shi Qingluo’s price mind was about the same, not to mention that planting flowers was profitable.

She nodded and said: “300 taels are fine, but you have to promise me one additional condition.”

Bai Xu asked: “What condition?”

Shi Qingluo said bluntly: “Help me buy suet and wool. I want as much as possible.”

Bai Xu’s brother-in-law was able to match the strings.

He asked: “What do you want suet and wool? Suet is very smelly, and wool is useless.”

He always felt that it won’t be simple for Shi Qingluo to get these things.

Shi Qingluo smiled mysteriously: “You will know when the time comes.”

Sheep oil can be used to make soap and candles, and wool was of course used for knitting wool.

There was no stove, no air conditioner, and no heater in winter here. She was afraid of the cold.

In winter, besides leather, wool was the best winter protection.

And now that there was no wool, she can open a wool shop and sell wool products in the future, and create many jobs for female compatriots.

She can start collecting wool to make wool, which can be used and sold directly in winter.

Bai Xu looked helpless: “Okay, I’ll help you find my uncle for help.”

These things were not difficult to collect, but troublesome.

“In addition to this tricolor chrysanthemum, can you cultivate some strange-colored chrysanthemums, camellias, peonies, etc.?”

This was his focus when he promised to Shi Qinglou.

Shi Qingluo nodded: “No problem, I can cultivate black chrysanthemums and other camellias, peonies, etc. of several colors.”

“Whatever can’t think of, there is nothing I can’t cultivate.”

Bai Xu was dubious this time, so he asked casually, “Can you grow blue chrysanthemums and peonies?”

Shi Qinglou nodded: “Yes!”

“Don’t say blue chrysanthemums, even green chrysanthemums are fine.”

Bai Xu: “… …”

Is it true?

“Okay, then you can grow a few pots of these flowers we are talking about now, and the price will still be three hundred and two per plant.”

Shi Qingluo said: “This is more difficult than cultivating one plant with several colors, so the price has to be raised.”

“Pure color can win the favor of literati more. You can sell it in cash in the capital, or sell it for a favor because it is very rare.”

“And I heard that many aristocrats in the capital like to play with flowers, and a trend has formed long ago. You can just take this opportunity to integrate into some circles.”

Well, her husband did say so.

“400 taels for each plant, if you agree, I will start cultivating them in a few days.”

Bai Xu thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, “Okay, as long as you cultivate it, I will pay you 400 taels.”

If he keeps sending these rare and famous flowers to the capital, not only can he raise the price, but his reputation will increase day by day.

Besides, whether he makes money or not was a trivial matter. The main point was that he was very likely to use these flowers to break into the middle and upper-class circles in the capital.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “That’s right, doing business has to be this straightforward.”

“For the sake of your straightforwardness, let me sell you another secret technique.”

Bai Xu: “… …”

You have too many secret skills, right?

But he also knew that this was Shi Qingluo’s secret, so he didn’t explore too much.

It was just, he was a little regretful, why didn’t he go to the mountain to visit the Old Taoist priest?

He asked curiously: “What secret technique?”

Shi Qingluo said truthfully: “Making floor tiles and ceramic tiles.”

Bai Xu was puzzled: “What are floor tiles and ceramic tiles?”

Shi Qingluo explained: “It’s a kind of brick laid on the ground, similar to marble, but it can be made artificially.”

“It’s also thinner and easier to transport and can be made in a variety of colors. It’s beautiful and elegant when laid on the ground, and it’s fireproof, waterproof, and anti-corrosion.”

“The effect of paving is no worse than that of marble or white marble. The key is that the cost is much lower than that of marble and white marble.”

This was the first time Bai Xu has heard of this kind of thing: “Really? How will you make it, and can I take a look first?”

Shi Qingluo curled her lips and said bluntly: “If I didn’t find it troublesome, I would have done it myself. Why should I take advantage of you?”

“Believe it or not, if I figure it out myself in the future, I won’t give you this kind of secret technique again. Don’t regret it.”

Bai Xu: “… …”

So you threw it to me because you thought it was troublesome.

But after thinking about it, he decided to believe her.

He has no other choice. Who made him get slapped in the face continuously before?

“Then how do you sell this secret skill?”

“How about we partner up, you provide the secret technology, I will find a place and people to make it, and then sell it.”

“Then let’s split the score, you only need to provide the secret skills and teach the workers early on, you don’t need to worry about the rest.”

Otherwise, if he pays a large amount of money for the secret technique, and the result was not as good as she said, and he can’t sell it, wouldn’t he be at a loss?

Shi Qingluo discovered that this guy had learned to be proficient, no, he should have been proficient in the first place.

“Okay.”

She will provide technology and some guidance in the early stage and doesn’t need to worry about it after that. It was okay to get 20% of the profit.

She continued: “However, the floor tiles and ceramic tiles that will be made should be given to me first for building my new house for free.”

Confidence in yourself was the first step on the road to success

In this way, not only she can save a lot of money, but she can also use this technology to earn money continuously.

Bai Xu: “… …”

No wonder he was encouraged to make it, this was the main reason.

He nodded with an indescribable look: “If it’s really what you said, I can agree to this.”

This woman never plays cards according to common sense.

Shi Qingluo gave him a reassuring look: “It will be very useful, and easy to earn money, so don’t worry.”

Bai Xu laughed and said: “I will just trust you again.”

This woman was extremely confident in everything she does.

Shi Qingluo poured tea for him with a smile: “Just trust me, this is a wise move for you, getting to know me is the greatest luck in your life.”

If he follows her to eat meat and drink soup, his money and future will be boundless.

Bai Xu: “… …”

I’ve never seen anyone praise her so much.

“I hope so.” He couldn’t laugh or cry.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, “You have to trust your vision and choices.”

She added confidently, “Even if you don’t believe in yourself, it doesn’t matter, as long as you believe in me.”

Bai Xu: “… …”

I believe you are a ghost.

He shouted in his heart: Xiao Hanzheng, come back soon and take care of your overconfident and eloquent wife.
