Chapter 373 Merchants Arrive
"Butler Zhang, I really have no other choice. All the candy has been sold. I just asked you to make a decision soon, but you didn't. Now there's no candy, who can I blame? Next time, when there's candy, I'll be the first to send you a letter, okay?"
"Really gone?"
“It’s really gone.”
"Okay, I'll trust you this time. When you have the goods, you must notify me as soon as possible."
"Don't worry."
Steward Lin finally sent Steward Zhang away, and then went to look for Yue Fuli. Because the white sand sugar was on pre-sale today, Yue Fuli had already arrived in the city, but she just didn't show up.
"Miss, the pre-sale is very successful." Before Butler Lin entered the house, the happy voice reached Yue Fuli's ears.
"Uncle Lin, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Steward Lin waved his hand, then showed the order to Yue Fuli and asked, "Miss, this is the order. Do you think it can be delivered on time?"
"There's no problem with delivery, but we're running low on sugar beets, so we need to catch up with the sugar cane."
"Don't worry, Miss. I've already negotiated with the sugarcane farmers. I can notify them to harvest at any time."
"In that case, let's start tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go inform them shortly."
Just as Butler Lin expected, someone took the white sand sugar bought from him and sold it at a high price.
Because of the high profits, many merchants were asking about Baisha sugar.
Some well-informed people came directly and wanted to buy directly from Butler Lin.
Manager Lin wanted to sell it, but the output of this white sand sugar was not high, and apart from those that had been ordered, there was nothing left.
But even so, there were still merchants who kept coming to Qianzhou, trying to meet Steward Lin through various means, hoping to cooperate with him.
Housekeeper Lin was heartbroken because he had money but couldn't make any money. So, he found Yue Fuli again and said to her, "Miss, our white sand sugar is in short supply. Can we build a few more workshops?"
"Uncle Lin, I also want to build a few more workshops. But the problem is, we don't have enough raw materials. Unless we can buy all the sugarcane in Qianzhou."
Manager Lin was tempted, but he knew it was impossible. Much of the sugarcane had already been reserved by other merchants. The sugarcane he was looking for this time was either unwanted or offered at too low a price.
However, it was difficult, but he wanted to give it a try. If it didn't work, they could buy raw sugar from others and purify it, but the cost would be higher.
Another way is to cooperate with other people, let them give him the sugarcane, and then divide the profits after the white sugar is produced.
He needs to think carefully about which specific method to use.
Steward Lin was responsible for finding a way to obtain the raw materials. Yue Fuli had nothing to do for the time being, so she decided to go to the mountains to see if she could find a salt mine.
Qinglin was naturally more familiar with the mountains. So Yue Fuli asked Lu Jingxing to give Qinglin a few days off and took him into the mountains.
"Sister, are we going hunting in the mountains this time?" Qinglin asked curiously. Ever since he left the mountains and started studying with Madam Lu, he rarely went into the mountains. Firstly, he didn't have the time, and secondly, his family was worried about him going into the mountains alone.
Now that Yue Fuli was taking him with her, everyone naturally stopped worrying. Therefore, he was particularly happy because he could go see his wolf mother.
