Shi Qingluo, an expert in agriculture, opened her eyes after her death and transmigrated into an ancient peasant girl.
In the beginning, she was sold by her family and forcibly taken away to ...
"So what?"
She didn't deny it either.
Moreover, she does not plan to buy brown sugar and turn it into white sugar using the yellow mud water method, but instead plans to sell this technology.
After all, the profit after bleaching is limited, and purchasing brown sugar is troublesome.
She would like to use her skills to exchange for some money to solve her current urgent needs.
Moreover, the young master is only a scholar now. If the technology is in their hands, he might be targeted by the powerful and wealthy, which would be dangerous.
If sold to the Bai family, the Bai family should be able to bear the risk.
As for the beet sugar workshop, they are still open. After all, the cost of making sugar directly from beets is much lower than buying brown sugar to bleach it.
With the Bai family supporting them from the front, they can drink the soup with peace of mind.
Bai Xu thought for a moment and said, "I want to see more of your white sugar."
Shi Qingluo said: "I have it at home, so we asked you to go back with us, to see your precious flower and look for business opportunities."
She rolled her eyes at him again, "You didn't believe it before."
Bai Xu: “…” So he was slapped in the face.
"Okay, I'll go back with you guys later."
He also really wanted to see how his flowers were doing.
Of course, the focus is still on sugar.
Shi Qingluo wanted to sell his skills, so he naturally had to let Bai Xu see it on the spot. "By the way, you can bring a few kilograms of brown sugar with you, and I can make white sugar for you."
Bai Xu did not question it this time and nodded, "Okay."
He asked, "So are we leaving now?"
Shi Qingluo was speechless. "Why are you in such a hurry? We haven't even agreed on how to sell our book."
"If you are not interested in profit sharing, we can change to another bookstore."
She said with a half-smile, "Of course, you don't have to taste tofu or look at white sugar anymore."
Bai Xu wanted to cry but had no tears: "..." This woman is too cruel.
"Okay, as long as the tofu you said is delicious and the white sugar is as you just said, and you cooperate with me."
"Then Mr. Xiao's script will be given to you at 40% of the profit after the cost is deducted from the sale."
"This kind of storybook business doesn't exist in the entire Daliang."
The main reason was that he also felt that Xiao Hanzheng's book might sell well, so he naturally would not let them go to other bookstores.
He is particularly interested in tofu and sugar.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Don't be so pretentious. If you didn't like my husband, his instinct would sell well and you didn't want to miss it, why would you be so straightforward?"
Bai Xu: “…” He sees everything but doesn’t say it out loud.
He turned his head to Xiao Hanzheng and said, "Let's talk about business in the future, or let's just talk about it between the two of us."
"You are such a good talker, my wife."
He couldn't win the argument with her at all. The key point was that her twisted logic actually made people feel that it made sense. It was indeed true. It was too poisonous.
Xiao Hanzheng laughed, "My wife is very good."
He added frankly, "My wife is the boss of our family, so it's better for her to discuss business matters."
He has more experience in how to fight wars, how to engage in intrigue in the court, and how to be an official, but he is really not good at doing business.
Every profession has its own expertise, and my wife is good at this.
Shi Qingluo glared at Bai Xu, "Why, do you look down on women?"
Bai Xu found that Xiao Hanzheng was too doting on his wife. He had never seen a family where the wife was the master of the house.
Seeing Shi Qingluo glaring at him, he gave in for the sake of the precious flowers, tofu and sugar.
So he smiled awkwardly and said, "Just kidding, Master Xiao and I were just joking."
It has to be said that Xiao Hanzheng's wife is too eccentric and he can't afford to offend her.
Only then did Shi Qingluo let him go.
Then Bai Xu and Xiao Hanzheng signed an agreement, and the script was given to the shopkeeper to be printed and published as soon as possible.
After getting on the carriage, Shi Qingluo said to the driver, "I want to buy some things, so I'll go to the same places as last time."
Xiao Si didn't know what to do, so he glanced at Bai Xu and waited for instructions.
Bai Xu: “…” He knew that this woman’s main purpose was to get a ride in the carriage back home.
"Go, take her to buy it." What else could he do? Xiao Si nodded and drove the carriage to the butcher's stall and the grocery store.
Shi Qingluo went to the cloth shop again and bought some fine cotton cloth and coarse cotton cloth, and went back to make clothes.
She now has only two sets of clothes to change into, which are not only worn out but also made of coarse linen, so they are uncomfortable to wear.
The better clothes of Xiao's mother and others were previously snatched away by people from the old house, so they also needed to be remade.
Fortunately, cotton was already available in the Daliang Dynasty and cotton cloth had already been widely used, otherwise it would be inconvenient to wear silk and do things, and she didn't like wearing linen.
After buying a bunch of things, Shi Qingluo let Xiaosi drive the car back to the village.
In the carriage, Shi Qingluo leisurely drank tea and ate snacks.
She looked at Bai Xu and asked, "Your carriage horse is pretty good. Was it transported from somewhere else? Is it a grassland horse?"
Bai Xu looked at Shi Qingluo as she sipped tea and ate snacks elegantly. She didn't look like a country girl at all.
Hearing her ask this, I was stunned for a moment, "You also know about horses?"
The few horses in his family were indeed transported from the grassland at a high price by using his connections.
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Of course."
Born into a wealthy family, riding horses has been a compulsory course for her since childhood.
Since I like horse riding, I know a lot about horses.
"How did you know that?" Bai Xu asked curiously.
Shi Qingluo replied: "Your horse has a big head and a short neck, a strong body, a broad chest and long mane, thick skin and coarse hair, and a kind of rough and fierceness. Horses on the grassland are like this."
"But the horses from Dayuan in the Western Regions are better."
She turned to Xiao Hanzheng and said, "Let's get a few and raise them if we have the chance in the future."
She raised several horses of valuable bloodlines in modern times, and she didn't want to let herself down when she came to ancient times.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded with a smile, "Okay!"
If my young wife wants it, then go and get it.
Bai Xu: “…” These two people discussed that getting the Western Region’s Ferghana horses was as easy as eating and drinking water. He was really impressed.
He couldn't help but sigh again that Xiao Hanzheng was too indulgent towards his wife.
"You also know about Dayuan in the Western Region?" This is not something a village girl could know.
Even he knew about Dayuan in the Western Regions because of the trade between the border and the Western Regions. He learned about it when he heard a young master of the main branch boast about having done business with the Hu people in the Western Regions.
Shi Qingluo said lazily: "Why don't you know?"
She threw the pot again and said, "I am the disciple of the old immortal. I know a lot of things."
Bai Xu: “…” Suddenly I wanted to visit the old immortal.
Shi Qingluo added: "The furs and gems in the Western Regions are very good. You can do business with the Hu merchants in the future."
Bai Xu laughed: "Let's wait for a chance to see it later."
He always felt that this woman was not just talking when she mentioned these things.
So he asked, "Do you want furs and gems?"
Shi Qingluo smiled, "Smart!"
"And I want to buy a few horses you brought from this grassland."
"Although it's not as good as the ones from Dayuan in the Western Regions, it's okay to buy it and use it for now."
As more workshops opened, it became necessary to have a few more horse-drawn carriages to transport goods.
Bai Xu: “…” He knew it was like this.
What made him even more frustrated was that it was not easy to get a prairie horse, but she was still unwilling to make do with it...
