"Thank you very much, Mr. Ouyang. If there is any need, I will definitely tell the shopkeeper." It is not her style to not take advantage of an opportunity.
She is an all-rounder, not greedy, and she doesn't want to waste resources under reasonable circumstances.
"Madam Li, besides seasonings, do you have any other ways to make money?" Ouyang Mingxuan just asked casually, and he didn't expect the other party to answer him.
Because he felt that it was her luck that a village woman could sell both recipes and seasonings, and that was already her limit.
"Yes, I do, but I'm not considering it for now." What Li Yun wants to do most is to make ice, which is simple and profitable.
There is a lot of saltpeter on the shopping platform on her mobile phone. She can make a lot of ice by buying a little. Moreover, saltpeter can be reused, with low cost and high profit, which is what many big people want to get.
She didn't plan to sell ice until she was able to protect it, so as to avoid bringing disaster to herself and her family.
"Why?
Is it because of lack of manpower?
Because of insufficient funds?
Still no connections?
If that's the case, I can provide both manpower and money. I just hope Madam Li can take me to do business." Ouyang Mingxuan was immediately delighted when he heard there was a way to make money. He felt that Madam Li, this village woman, was no ordinary woman.
Later he heard that it was not going to be done, which made him happy for nothing.
“The issue of manpower is not a problem, I came to the county town today to buy people.
Money is not a problem at all. I sold you the seasonings and recipes for the restaurant with money.
It's just that my business is too shocking. If I don't have a strong backing, I won't do it.
I don't want to make a loss-making sale, and I don't want to bring disaster upon myself and my family. Li Yun told Ouyang Mingxuan that he had business to sell, but he didn't dare to do it.
Even you can't do it, after all, you are not a big shot.
"Don't worry about connections and backing, Madam Li. I have plenty of connections and a very strong backing. Even in the capital, many people have to give me face." When Ouyang Mingxuan heard about connections and backing, it was child's play. As the son of a marquis, there were not many people in the capital who would not respect him.
Even the emperor sitting in the palace was very good to him, and his father, Marquis Dingbei, made great contributions to the Jin Dynasty.
"Does Young Master Ouyang really have such a powerful backing that he's not even afraid of the royal family?" Li Yun had no idea about Ouyang Mingxuan's identity. Judging from his tone, he must have someone in the court.
If the people in the court were powerful enough, she could cooperate with him in the ice business.
The weather is getting hot and humid now, so if you have a glass of ice water or ice cream, it will definitely be a big hit.
If she makes ice, she will open a milk tea shop.
I thought of a time-travel article I had read before, which said that people in ancient times stored ice in ice cellars in winter, so it was very expensive.
She didn't, she made ice from saltpeter, which was not only simple but also came in large quantities.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am the eldest son of Marquis Dingbei, the Crown Prince of Dingbei.
If even I can't protect Madam Li's business, I can ask the Emperor to get involved. Then no one will dare to take advantage of it." Even though Ouyang Mingxuan was known for his powerful backing, Madam Li still didn't dare agree. Could it be that her business was truly lucrative and she was afraid it would be snatched away by someone else?
I had no choice but to introduce my identity. Even the emperor was brought up. I shouldn’t be afraid this time.
"The Prince of Dingbei?
Is he an official?
How high of an official position was your father, the Marquis of Dingbei? "Li Yun knew nothing about the ancient official system. He only knew from watching TV that ancient people had to kneel before the emperor that the highest official in ancient times was the emperor.
As for the other officials, she didn't know who was higher or lower, nor did she know what officials there were or what they did.
She only knew the county magistrate, and she had just been talking to him.
“Madam Li, the Marquis of Dingbei is a marquisate conferred by the Emperor, and it is of the highest rank.
Although I don't hold an official position in the court and don't have a high rank, the powerful people in the capital will still give me some respect." Ouyang Mingxuan said to Li Yun.
His father also asked him to take up the military, inherit his father's career and become a general, but he was unwilling to do so.
He doesn't like fighting and killing, nor does he like the intrigue in officialdom.
He just likes doing business. He feels satisfied when he sees the money earned through his hard work.
Seeing that he was determined, his family allowed him to be and supported him.
He opened shops almost all over the Jin Dynasty, and some of his business even went abroad.
"I am honored to meet you, Your Highness. I am ignorant and did not know that Young Master Ouyang was the Crown Prince. Please forgive me." Li Yun heard that Marquis Dingbei was a top-ranking official and must hold a very high position.
Although his son was not an official, it was not someone that a village woman like her could ignore, so she quickly saluted Ouyang Mingxuan.
Although I don't want to kneel, but since I am in ancient times, I should follow the local customs.
"Madam Li, please stand up and stand in front of me. There's no need to be so polite. Just behave as usual." Ouyang Mingxuan quickly asked Li Yun to stand up. He didn't want others to bow all the time, so he seldom told others outside that he was the son of Marquis Dingbei.
Since Prince Ouyang said so, Li Yun didn't show any sympathy. She didn't want to kneel down anyway, so she climbed up the pole.
"Thank you, Prince Ouyang. I won't be polite with you either." Li Yun stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his knees, and stood aside.
Ouyang Mingxuan looked at her actions, not knowing whether to be angry or amused. Is it okay to take pictures like this in front of him?
"Since Madam Li already knows my identity, she should also believe that I have the ability to keep your business. Now can you tell me what kind of business it is?" Ouyang Mingxuan had already revealed his identity and wanted to know what Madam Li's business was?
If it is a big business, he also wants to join in.
"Prince Ouyang, it's not that I didn't want to say it just now, it's just that the profit is too huge.
If your backing isn't strong enough, you'll attract the attention of various factions, and not only will your business be lost, but your life might be lost, too." Li Yun wasn't exaggerating; who wouldn't want to be in the ice business?
Then he said: "Since Prince Ouyang has revealed his identity and can bring the emperor in, I will tell you that the business I want to do is 'ice'.
It’s not ice stored in the ice cellar, but ice made by myself.” Li Yun finally revealed the business she wanted to run, which was ice making.
"ice?
Or make your own ice?
Madam Li is not joking. Since ancient times, ice has been stored in ice cellars in winter. When summer comes, there is not much ice left. Is that why ice is so expensive?
Madam Li actually said she could make her own ice. If she does, I'm willing to work with her, and even ask the Emperor to cooperate. Madam Li only needs to come up with the recipe, and the Emperor and I will handle the rest." Ouyang Mingxuan's heartbeat quickened, almost jumping out of his chest, at Li Yun's words.
Ice!
He didn't even dare to think about making his own ice.
The profit from ice is really huge, and the palace needs a lot of ice every year.
But there was not much ice in the ice cellar, which could not meet the needs of the concubines in the palace.
