Chapter 94 Pros and Cons

After Li Yingyue finished saying what she wanted to say, she prepared to take the people she brought back to town.

Zhang Juexia wanted to stay for dinner, but Li Yingyue refused directly, "When I have time and I have fewer people with me, I will definitely eat at my sister's house."

Zhang Juexia knew Li Yingyue's good intentions, so he didn't force her to stay. He just told her that he would go to Li's house to find her tomorrow.

"Then we'll see you tomorrow."

Li Yingyue and her people got on the carriage.

On the way back to town, Mei'er, another maidservant beside Li Yingyue, complained to her unconvincedly, "Master, I feel that it is unnecessary for the young lady to try to please Miss Ye like this.

Today she was teaching everyone how to make canned food, and I was there too. It was really a simple thing.

Why make such a fuss about something you can do just by looking at it?

Besides, even with this, she still had the nerve to ask the lady for a penny of profit.

Given her relationship with the young lady, she could just give it to the young lady for free."

Li Yingyue opened her half-closed eyes and stared at Mei'er blankly, "That's it."

Mei'er was so nervous when Li Yingyue glared at her, "This servant also means well, Master..."

Li Yingyue raised her hand and slapped me, "You have been serving me for a while, and you really thought I was a good person.

You are very capable, aren't you? If you can come up with a way to make money, don't even mention 1%, I'll give you 5%. Do you think it's okay?"

Mei'er didn't care about the bumps in the carriage and knelt in the carriage, "Miss, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"The day after tomorrow, when we return to the county town, go back to wherever you came from. My temple here is too small to accommodate a giant like you."

"Miss, I was wrong. Please don't chase me away. Please."

"Someone, get her off the carriage."

Li Yingyue returned to the Li Mansion in Jinshui Town. She calmed down in the carriage and then got off.

After entering her yard, she told Xing'er, "You take care of Mei'er's affairs."

Xing'er also knelt down and pleaded with Li Yingyue, "Miss, you know the situation of Mei'er's family.

Her parents only have eyes for her drunkard brother. If you send her back home, she will definitely not have a good ending."

Li Yingyue's lips were tightly closed and trembling slightly, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

But the veins on her forehead bulged, and it was obvious that she was extremely angry.

After half an incense stick of time, Li Yingyue spoke, "She doesn't understand the rules first, when is it her turn to dictate the master's affairs?

She really thought that if my elder brother played a joke on her, she would be able to go to heaven.

Xing'er, tell her that it's okay if she doesn't want to leave.

Didn’t she say canning was easy to make?

Then let her follow those canners and go to the farm to make canned food!"

Xing'er knelt on the ground to thank her, and quickly went to tell Mei'er about it.

Mei'er complained to Xing'er about her difficulties, but Xing'er didn't dare to say a word to her. "If you feel wronged, go home!"

Zhang Juexia sneezed twice at home, mumbling softly, "Who missed me?"

Ye Beixiu laughed and teased her, "Maybe someone else is scolding you."

"Who would scold me? I'm such a good person, who would be willing to scold me?"

Because she was going to town tomorrow, Zhang Juexia planned to bring home all the vegetables grown in the mountains and at home, leaving some for her family to eat and selling the rest.

Licorice was just what she needed, and the two of them finished the job in an entire afternoon.

She asked Gancao, "Do you think it's easier to do farm work or study medicine?"

Licorice stuck out her tongue sheepishly, "It's not easy at all."

"Then you still haven't understood the true meaning of farm work. I'll go cook dinner later. You pick out the good-looking cabbages and radishes and help me load them onto the carriage. I'll sell them for silver tomorrow."

When arranging this, Liu Mingda happened to be there, "Why don't you go quickly?"

Zhang Juexia smiled and said, "Today I'll give you some extra food. I'll make you some fried carrot balls and some pork belly stewed with Chinese cabbage.

Doctor Liu, please wait, we will have dinner soon."

Ye Beixiu still helped Zhang Juexia to light the fire.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Juexia told Ye Beixiu about the contract she and Li Yingyue had signed.

Ye Beixiu frowned, "Isn't one cent of profit a little too little?"

"You also feel it's less."

"Um."

"I have been thinking about this since the moment I sent out the cans, and I made this decision after weighing many factors.

Are you interested in listening?"

Ye Beixiu nodded.

"Have you ever thought about this? If the Li family follows their chef's recipe and sells this can of food directly without us, will you be able to prove that this can was originally made by me?"

Ye Beixiu tilted his head and thought for a moment, "How can we prove this? If our family can sell it, the Li family can also sell it."

"That's right. If we insist on fighting with the Li family and take them to the government, what are our chances of winning?"

Ye Beixiu's hands trembled slightly. "I'm afraid I'm not even sure. We're from the mountains, so how can we have any connections?"

“Ever since the cans were delivered, I’ve been wondering what the Li family’s attitude is and how Li Yingyue will deal with this matter.

Unexpectedly, I made the right bet.

If the Li family really goes around selling canned food without our knowledge, we won't be able to do anything about it.

Not to mention a cent of profit, not even half a cent will be earned."

After a moment, Ye Beixiu sighed, "My wife is indeed very thoughtful. In the final analysis, we still have no one to rely on.

“I also want to use this incident to stimulate discussion.

We can rely on the Li family as a big tree, and we won’t have to worry about others disrupting our business in the future.”

Ye Beixiu clenched his fists and looked at Zhang Juexia with bright eyes.

"My lady, one day I will be your supporter."

"I believe you."

"My dear, if one day I encounter an opportunity to make a name for myself, will you let me leave home?"

"A man has ambitions, so why not? Besides, I'd love to go out for a walk if I get a chance!"

"Thank you, my lady. It is truly my blessing to marry you."

Zhang Juexia laughed, "I have told Li Yingyue my idea, and she will do the specific things.

Let's not underestimate this profit. If the Li family can expand this business to the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, we will probably be sitting at home counting silver."

"Is it really that good?"

"That's about right! But there are a lot of things to worry about, and the initial investment is high. Where will the products be made? There's also transportation, etc.

The most important thing is to open up the market for wealthy people. You said that based on our current situation, we can't help in any way.

It would be better to learn to be smarter, take a step back, and let capable people do this.

Besides, if we really want to ask for a huge profit, we should get 70% to 80% of the profits.

Believe it or not, within a year, the Li family will tell us that this business is not doing well and they have lost a lot of money, so let's end the cooperation!"
