He had seen many mansions in the capital, and he didn't think a house in the village could make him envious and eye-opening.
Shi Qingluo could see that he didn't believe it, but he was too lazy to explain.
After all, discussing the combination of ancient and modern times with purely ancient people is completely boring.
It turns out that my young husband is the best. He believes in everything she does and they have a lot in common. They are soul mates!
Oh, now that you mention it, I suddenly miss my husband.
Shi Qingluo waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you want this tricolor chrysanthemum, just name a price. If you don't want it, I'll ask someone else to take it to the capital and sell it for me."
Bai Xu said hurriedly: "Of course I want it."
"How about this? Scarcity makes things more valuable. I only have this one plant. I'll give you three hundred taels. How about that?"
This red, yellow and pink chrysanthemum growing on the same plant is even rarer than the purple chrysanthemum. If he takes it to the capital to resell it, the price will not be low.
The key is that what he sells is something rare, which helps him to spread his reputation.
Shi Qingluo’s psychological price is about this, not to mention that growing flowers is really profitable.
She nodded, "Three hundred taels is fine, but you have to agree to one additional condition."
Bai Xu asked: "What are the conditions?"
Shi Qingluo said directly: "Help me to buy sheep oil and wool. I will take as much as you buy."
Bai Xu's uncle can make the connection.
He asked, "What do you want mutton fat and wool for? Mutton fat smells bad and wool is useless."
I always feel that it’s not easy for Shi Qingluo to get these things.
Shi Qingluo smiled mysteriously, "You will know when the time comes."
Sheep fat can be used to make soap and candles, and wool is of course used to make yarn.
There is no stove, no air conditioner, no heater in the winter here, and she is afraid of the cold.
In winter, besides leather, the best warm clothing is wool.
And since there is no wool now, she can open a wool and woolen products workshop in the future, and create many jobs for her female compatriots.
Start collecting wool now to make yarn so you can use and sell it directly in winter.
Bai Xu looked helpless, "Okay, I'll help you find my uncle for help."
These things are not difficult to collect, but they are troublesome.
"In addition to this tricolor chrysanthemum, can you cultivate some chrysanthemums, camellias, peonies, etc. with rare colors?"
This was the key point of his promise to Shi Qingluo.
Shi Qingluo nodded: "No problem, I can cultivate black chrysanthemums, and other colorful camellias, peonies, etc."
"There is nothing I can't cultivate, except what you can't think of."
Bai Xu was skeptical this time. He asked casually, "Can you grow blue chrysanthemums and peonies?"
Shi Qingluo nodded, "Sure!"
"Don't mention blue chrysanthemums, even green chrysanthemums are fine."
Bai Xu: "..." Is this true? "Okay, then you can grow a few pots of the flowers we are talking about now, and the price is still three hundred taels per plant."
Shi Qingluo said: "This is more difficult than cultivating a plant with several colors, so the price has to be raised."
"Pure colors are more likely to win the favor of scholars. Whether you take them to the capital to sell or as a favor, they are very rare."
"And I heard that many aristocratic families in the capital like to play with flowers. It has long become a trend. You can take this opportunity to integrate into some circles."
The young master did say that.
"So four hundred taels per plant. If you agree, I will start cultivating it in a few days."
Bai Xu thought deeply for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, as long as you can train him, I will pay 400 taels for him."
If he could send these rare and famous flowers to the capital continuously, not only would he be able to raise the price, but his fame would surely grow day by day.
Besides, whether he makes money or not is actually a small matter. The key point is that he can very likely use these flowers to break into the upper-middle class circles in Beijing.
"Since you are so forthright, I will sell you another secret technique."
Bai Xu: "..." You have too many secret skills, don't you? But he also knew that this was Shi Qingluo's secret, so he didn't explore it too much.
It’s just a bit of a pity. Why didn’t he go to the mountain to visit the old Taoist priest at the beginning?
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 that's laid on the ground, similar to marble, but it can be made artificially."
"It is also lighter and easier to transport, and can be made in a variety of colors and patterns. It looks beautiful when laid on the ground, and it is fireproof, waterproof, and anti-corrosive."
"The result is no worse than marble or white marble, but the cost is much lower than marble and white marble."
This was the first time Bai Xu had heard of this kind of thing. "Really? How about you build it so I can see it first?"
Shi Qingluo curled his lips and said bluntly: "If I didn't find it troublesome, I would do it myself. Why should I give it to you for free?"
"Believe it or not, if I figure it out myself in the future, I won't give you this secret technique anymore. Don't regret it."
Bai Xu: “…” So you threw it to me because you thought it was too troublesome.
But after thinking about it, he decided to believe her.
There's nothing he can do about it, it's because he has been slapped in the face so many times before.
"Then how are you going to sell this secret skill?"
"How about we form a partnership? You provide the secret technique, and I'll find a place and people to make it, and then sell it."
"Then we'll split the work 20:80. You only need to show us the secret techniques and teach us in the early stages. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Otherwise, if he paid a large sum of money for the secret technique, but the product was not as good as she said and could not be sold, wouldn't he lose money? Shi Qingluo found that Xiaobai had learned it well. No, he should have been good at it.
"Can."
She just provides technical and some initial guidance, and I don't have to worry about anything else afterwards. It's okay for me to get 20% of the profit.
She continued, "However, the fired floor tiles and ceramic tiles must be provided to me free of charge for building my new house."
Grab the wool, grab the wool.
This not only saves a lot of money, but also allows you to make money continuously using this technology.
Bai Xu: “…” No wonder he was encouraged to build it. This is actually the key reason.
He nodded with a look of confusion, "If it's really as you said, I can agree to this."
This woman never plays by the rules.
Shi Qingluo gave him a reassuring look, "It will definitely be very useful and will definitely make money, so don't worry."
Bai Xu laughed, "I'll trust you once more."
This woman is extremely confident in everything she does.
Shi Qingluo smiled and poured him tea. "Just trust me. This is definitely a wise move. Getting to know me is the greatest luck in your life."
Follow her to eat meat and drink soup, and you will have a bright future and great money.
Bai Xu: “…” I’ve never seen anyone praise me like this before.
"I hope so." He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "You must trust your vision and choices."
She added confidently, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe in yourself, as long as you believe in me."
Bai Xu: “…” I don’t believe you.
He shouted in his heart, Xiao Hanzheng, please come back soon and take in this overconfident, sharp-tongued and difficult wife of yours.
