The Village Doctress Chapter 260: Peel melon seeds
Huangfu Jin looked down at Lin Fufu's ignorant expression, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and said two words lightly: "Plant beans."
"Growing beans?" Lin Fufu was a little confused about Huangfu Jin's thoughts, "You mean, you buy fields in Dawei to grow broad beans, soybeans, and those?"
Huangfu Jin nodded, then shook his head, "That's what I thought, but I don't know much about farming, so I'll leave it to you to take care of it. I'll give you half of the harvest."
Lin Fufu was a little funny and thought to himself: It seems that his status in Beirong is not low. Beirong has a vast land. Does he have no land in Beirong? Do you need to go to Dawei to buy a field?
In fact, Huangfu Jin just wanted to buy as much of Mrs. Jiang's property as possible and give it to Lin Fufu. There was no particular reason, but she just wanted to do so.
Just do what you want, that's his character.
But he doesn't know how to tell Baba and Gospel Lin.
After all, this is someone else's business, and it's inconvenient for Lin Fufu to say more, because Lin Fufu didn't want the old housekeeper to know his identity as a Beirong person, so he nodded.
Seeing how relaxed she agreed, the corners of Huangfu Jin's lips curled up even higher, but Lin Fufu turned his head to talk to the old housekeeper again, missing the light in Huangfu Jin's eyes.
Lin Fufu knows that Huangfujin's affairs naturally don't need her to worry about it, so let's let it go. Anyway, it's winter now, and it's not too late to get the fields and wait for the spring next year before planning to plant any crops.
On the way back, Lin Fufu couldn't bear the concern for Huangfu Jin in his heart, and said to him, "Young Master, what is the purpose of you returning to Qingyang Town this time?"
"For money." Huangfu Jin said softly.
"Are you... very short of money?" This was the first time Lin Fufu asked about his personal affairs other than his body.
Huangfu Jin nodded, how can recruiting troops not lack money?
Besides, he thought too well of his brothers in those years, so he didn't make preparations in advance. It's only now that he started, and it's already difficult.
But these difficult things are all his man's business, he doesn't want to tell Lin Fufu, let alone involve a teenage girl like her.
Therefore, he said with a relaxed expression: "Young master, I want to be the number one richest businessman in Beirong, but now I'm still far away from being the number one. Naturally, I'm short of money."
As soon as Lin Fufu heard it, he knew that he didn't want to tell her the truth, but it wasn't too much to use this half-joking excuse to prevaricate her.
But she can't just watch like this and do nothing.
"My lord, the Xuerong ointment is selling very well right now?" Lin Fufu said suddenly, seeing Huangfu Jin nodding, he asked another irrelevant question, "Has the young master sent someone to investigate, the Xuerong ointment How does it sell in the noble class of Beirong?"
Hearing Lin Fufu asked this question specifically, Huangfu Jin's eyes flashed, and he said for a moment: "Duanmuzheng told me that Xuerong cream is only sold to ordinary civilians, but rich people with a little money Everyone would rather spend more money to buy the rouge gouache from your Dawei Caizhizhai."
Lin Fufu nodded, and there was such a look in his eyes.
She had already guessed that this would be the result.
Because this is also the case in Dawei, not in Qingyang Town, because Caizhizhai has withdrawn its distribution in Qingyang Town, and now the rich people in Qingyang Town can only work in Qin Niangzi's The rouge and powder shop bought rouge and gouache, because only Mrs. Qin's had the best ones.
"Then... now I have made a high-grade face powder. Although this face powder is not too expensive, it is even better than the best face powder in Cai Zhi Zhai." Lin Fufu considered his words, I don't know if I should ask.
Huangfu Jin was keenly aware of Lin Fufu's hesitation to speak, and immediately said: "Since it is better than Caizhizhai's incense powder, then I want to partner with you in this business again, I don't know what you want How?"
When Lin Fufu saw him going on the road like this, he immediately smiled and said, "I was worried that if the fragrance powder I made was promoted, my sisters would not be able to make it."
In other words, the two reached an intention to cooperate again.
But Lin Fufu was not satisfied with the cooperation of the fragrance powder. He raised his face and looked at him with bright eyes, "I don't just make fragrance powder, I also make high-end rouge powder. I must be serious. Do it. As long as it is done, it will make more money than Caizhizhai.”
Hearing that Bizhizhai is making more money, Huangfu Jin's eyes lit up.
Others don't know how profitable Dawei's Zhizhizhai is, but Huangfu Jin, who has placed people in Caizhizhai, knows it all too well.
That is a profitable business with an annual gross profit of tens of millions.
Although he has been tempted and made up his mind, because there are no real talents in that line of work under his command, even if he has the talent to make rouge and gouache, it is no different from those talents raised by Cai Zhi Zhai.
Caizhizhai has established a reputation, even if there are countless Caizhizhais in the future, it will be difficult to surpass it with pearls and jades in front, so I gave up that idea.
But Gospel is different. She can make the best products beyond Caizhizhai, and the capital investment is not large.
So without even thinking about it, Huangfu Jin believed what Lin Fufu said.
"This time, it's still as good as snowmelt ointment. I'll be the man, the place, and you'll be the method." Huangfu Jin looked at Lin Fufu and said gently.
"No, no, no." Lin Fufu shook his head with a smile, "This time it's different from Xuerong Cream. Xuerong Cream is aimed at the common people, but the rouge and gouache I will make next are all aristocratic. .”
Although Huangfu Jin didn't understand some of the unfamiliar words Lin Fufu said, she could figure out the meaning based on the meaning. She nodded immediately and said, "Then how the business is done is up to you."
Lin Fufu saw that he was so straightforward, his brows were wide open, and his almond eyes burst out with a strong look of confidence.
But this time, she won't just split the bill with Huangfu Jin, pursing her lips, Lin Fufu said to Huangfu Jin not afraid of death: "This time, I will take the lead in the business partnership with the young master, I will not you That's over there, and it's divided into problems, and I'll give you 20% at most. If you accept it, let's continue talking, if you don't accept it, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
What Lin Fufu wanted was to create a brand, and of course he wouldn't let Huangfujin, who didn't understand these things, fool around with people who only cared about making money.
However, she now needs Huangfujin's manpower and Huangfujin's venue.
She figured it out, a new product that was much better than Caizhizhai's came out, and it was fine at first, but Caizhizhai would definitely attack if it started to rob Caizhizhai's market.
If it was put in the Wei Dynasty, with the management of Caizhizhai for several generations, it has already been integrated with the government. If you want to snipe a small workshop that has just come out and has no backing, it will be as easy as shooting an ant to death. .
However, if she puts her base camp in Dawei and has Huangfujin escorting her, then she will be able to surpass Caizhizhai sooner or later.
For Lin Fufu's bold proposal this time to only give him 20% of the share, and the initiative will also go away... Huangfujin was still very surprised.
In business talk business, such a situation is unfavorable to him, no matter what his personal feelings are, Huangfu Jin will not easily agree.
"No." Huangfu Jin simply shook his head, "Twenty percent is too low, but you can take the lead."
Huangfu Jin knew that even though he was not the core requirement, he knew that Lin Fufu would not do unnecessary things.
Since Lin Fufu found him as a partner, he naturally took a fancy to some of his advantages, such as being able to keep secrets. For example, in his territory, Da Wei's competitors have nothing to do with Lin Fufu...
These are his values, and he is a man who is very good at using his own values.
Since knowing that Huangfu Jin has a woman he likes, Lin Fufu has forced himself to treat Huangfu Jin as a good friend at most.
Although she wanted to help him, she would not help him without reservation, after all, he was not hers.
Brothers settle accounts clearly, let alone a partner who is like a friend.
So, Lin Fufu smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes, "Young master, you also know that what I'm interested in is that the people on the young master's side have a strong ability to keep secrets, and they put the venue at the young master's place. It's not so easy to hit me, isn't it?"
"It's good that you know." Huangfu Jin smiled softly, but she didn't budge.
Lin Fufu blinked slightly, and said with a smile: "This is just a premise I made, that is, I want to make the rouge gouache I made bigger. But what if I don't want to make it bigger? I just need to make the square If the seeds are sold, it will be enough for me to eat for the rest of my life."
In other words, she can be said to help Huangfu Jin earn money.
After all, Huangfu Jin is short of money, and as long as Lin Fufu is content with the status quo, he will not be short of money.
Huangfu Jin choked for a moment, and then twitched the corners of her mouth in a daze, for she was really restrained by this little girl.
"Twenty percent is too little, how about adding another ten percent?" Huangfu Jin smiled softly, and her voice was also very gentle. I don't know when, whenever facing Lin Fufu, Huangfu Jin's cold aura It will become softer, this may not even be realized by him.
Lin Fufu narrowed his eyes, looked at Huangfu Jin with a half-smile and said, "Young master, you can't be too greedy. If you only get 20%."
Lin Fujin's words really shocked Huangfu Jin, this girl is so confident in the rouge and gouache she made? Can a mere second achievement make more money than Caizhizhai?
Seeing the puzzled look in his eyes, Lin Fufu smiled and said domineeringly: "As long as I am willing, Caizhizhai will not be my opponent sooner or later. Do you believe me?"
If he didn't believe it, would he agree to partner with her without even thinking about it?
Huangfu Jin looked at Lin Fufu with softer eyes, and had to admit that he liked her who was confident and calm before, but he was even more rare for her occasional domineering sideways leak.
This looks very much like the appearance of him berating Fang Qiu in front of thousands of troops.
"Okay, since you have such great self-confidence, then 20% is 20%." Huangfu Jin was finally persuaded by Lin Fufu.
Of course it is not so much persuasion as he believed in Gospel Lin from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Fufu saw that he had finally won 10% in front of Huangfu Jin this time, and he was in a very good mood, almost humming a little tune.
"Well, the money for the snow melting cream is supposed to be settled with you once a month, but I really need the money recently, how about I give it to you again at the end of the year?" Huangfu Jin looked at Lin Fufu and said seriously.
Lin Fufu didn't intend to touch the money at all. Seeing Huangfu Jin bring it up, he smiled and waved his hands, "No need, since you need the money urgently, then don't rush to distribute the money. Wait until someday you don't need it." Let's talk about Yinzi becoming the richest businessman in Beirong."
Lin Fufu is already used to asking for money, knowing that Huangfu Jin would not have said such things to her if he was not really short of money. According to his personality, he would have thrown money in front of her long ago.
However, since he was so short of money, why did he spend money to buy land in Qinglian County and Ning County?
This kind of doubt only stopped for a moment, and Huangfu Jin's mind was hard to guess, so she stopped guessing.
"Then pay it back to you slowly." Huangfu Jin didn't hold back, let alone used the woman's money and felt unhappy, he accepted Lin Fufu's kindness very calmly, thought for a while and said: "If you If you really need money, you can still come to me, if it’s really too late, you can sell the properties I bought, you don’t need to discuss with me.”
Actually, Huangfu Jin bought land in Dawei to make up for Lin Fufu's loss if he failed in the future.
Besides, these properties are only part of them. He also told Duanmu Zheng to look for opportunities to buy a lot of properties in various places in the south of the Great Wei. Under the name...
When we arrived at Qingyang Town, Lin Fufu said to Huangfu Jin again: "I'll take you to my shop where I sell snacks. You can also try our snacks."
Seeing Huangfu Jin smiling and nodding, Lin Fufu smiled and said, "I think you people from Beirong are kind, and I think if these little snacks are sold in Beirong, they will sell better than us in Dawei. "
Hearing what she said, Huangfu Jin raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows stretched elegantly, and asked, "How do you say that?"
Lin Fufu began to talk eloquently, "I have discussed it with Mr. Duanmu and Lao Liu before. The people of Beirong are different from the people of our Great Wei. The people of Beirong eat today's meal and tomorrow's meal tomorrow." Worry, I never save money on my body, I buy whatever I see with money. But Wei people are different, they like to save money, they like to think about the future, and they like to save money for future generations, such as marrying a daughter, such as marrying a daughter-in-law .”
After listening to her words, Huangfu Jin thought about it carefully, and it was indeed so.
He laughed deeply, his voice shook his chest, obviously he was very happy.
"Since you are optimistic about the business, then do it." Huangfu Jin was very straightforward.
Then he told her: "Using your method of making fresh broad beans and bean sprouts, I made a lot of money. Even many nobles in Beirong are jealous of this business, but no one in Beirong has thought about it. How did it come out?"
To be honest, the Beirong people are good at fighting, but they are far inferior to the Wei people when it comes to the spirit of research.
Lin Fufu also understood, so he said with a smile: "Then congratulations, young master, for earning more money." It's also the reason why I suggested that you start a small snack business as soon as possible."
Bei Rong is not only due to the climate, but their people are impatient to work on one-third of an acre of land all year round. They prefer to chase aquatic plants and graze, so they prefer economical crops that are easy to manage.
It's like sunflower seeds being sown and waiting to be harvested. This is a plant that depends on the sky. If the rain is a little more luxuriant, the harvest will be full.
Sure enough, Huangfu Jin followed Lin Fufu to the shop and walked around. As for the small snacks in the wooden boxes, Huangfu Jin was too embarrassed to reach out to eat them.
Lin Fufu took it by himself, and shelled it when no one was paying attention. Let Huangfu Jin lower her head, and then she quickly stuffed it into Huangfu Jin's mouth.
She did all this naturally, without thinking too much at all, but she did not notice that Huangfu Jin's eyes were full of bright crystal light.
"It's delicious." Huangfu Jin really thinks it's delicious, at least he has never eaten such a novel and delicious snack together, of course he has never eaten snacks before, of course this does not include the royal dining room Various pastries.
However, he didn't remember the taste of those pastries at all, but felt that the snacks made by Lin Fufu were full of fragrance.
"Give me some more." Huangfu Jin said, with a touch of softness and flattery in his voice.
To please Lin Fufu is just to make Lin Fufu peel off the shell and feed him with his own hands.
Lin Fujin wanted Cheng Huangfujin to hold on to her identity and be too embarrassed to eat by herself.
It's just a matter of raising your hands, but she didn't think much about it.
Peel several handfuls of five-spice broad beans and five-spice peanuts for Huangfu Jin to eat. It seems that Huangfu Jin likes to eat these two things very much.
She turned to Huangfu Jin and said, "You like eating so much, when you leave, take some back." After thinking about it, she said, "It's better to take some of everything back, although you big men may I don't like these little snacks, but your Liwu girl might like them."
Although she felt slightly uncomfortable when the word Liwu was mentioned, it was only for a moment, and she stopped thinking about it the next moment.
It's useless to even think about it, it's better not to think about it, Lin Fufu told himself.
The sum of the two lives is already a person who has run four times, and some things should be taken lightly, let it be.
On the other hand, Huangfu Jin stared at her face closely, seeing that her face didn't change when she mentioned Li Wu, her heart tightened.
He didn't like to see Lin Fufu's calm expression when he mentioned other women in front of him, not even Li Wu.
"I still want to eat, this time I want to eat five-spice melon seeds." Huangfu Jin's tone was a little annoyed.
Lin Fufu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he hadn't offended this man, right? Why was it fine just now, but now you are not happy when you say you are unhappy?
Then she glanced at Huangfu Jin suspiciously, seeing his calm and handsome face, she was even more sure that he was not happy.
"How do you peel sunflower seeds? I don't have fingernails, so you can eat them with your mouth." Lin Fufu said.
"If you don't have nails, just use your mouth to peel them off." Huangfu Jin said lightly, as if she had thought of some good idea, the corners of her lips curled up again, her face was no longer calm, and her eyes became gentle.
Lin Fufu was speechless for a while.
Did he do it on purpose?
Seeing Lin Fufu standing there in a daze, Huangfu Jin grabbed a large handful of spiced melon seeds, then grabbed Lin Fufu's right hand with his left hand, and said, "Go on."
Lin Fufu's hands were too small, and she couldn't catch Huangfu Jin's claws with one hand. In case the melon seeds fell to the ground, she had to stretch out her hands to catch them.
The five-spice melon seeds were fully spread in her palm.
Huangfu Jin looked at her hands and frowned...
