Chapter 151 I Wanted to Give You This from the Beginning
Just one glance and the winner is clear.
On one side, the quantity is slightly larger, but the particles are coarse and yellowish.
On one side, the quantity is smaller, but the dazzling white color and delicate texture are enough to make people drool.
Chairman Qiu, Chairman Ji, Gang Leader Song and the City Lord are all experts in the salt industry.
Zhou Shaoyu also went down. Although he still looked serious and fair, he was already very happy in his heart.
First look, second touch, third smell, fourth taste.
Chairman Qiu grabbed a handful of fine white salt and stuffed it into his mouth, tears streaming down his face with excitement: "This is the refined salt we have longed for, this is what we call refined salt!"
McDull's face was gloomy and his eyes were red. He rushed over and compared the two groups of salt. In fact, without saying anything, she knew she had lost.
The color, taste, and purity of Xie Yanyan's salt far surpassed hers by many times.
"How could this happen?" What she lost was not only a bet, not only a mine in Linjiang, but also her reputation in the entire salt industry.
With Xie Yanyan's salt-processing technique and the refined salt purified by Xie Yanyan, who would buy her bitter "refined salt" again?
The Prince of Nanzhong also thought of this, so he wanted to default on his debt.
"Master Xie, the bet you made with my sister was just a whim. Besides, this place has always been in chaos, and I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it even if you win. How about I pay you 100,000 taels of silver?"
Can Zhou Shaoyu let him default on his debt? He said lazily: "It doesn't matter if she can't manage the salt well. I can manage it. I'm the best at fighting."
The Prince of Nanzhong was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He finally understood that the whole plan was the work of Prince Zhou, and this young master might be his subordinate.
Xie Yanyan shut up decisively.
She was about to reach Lingnan, but Emperor Xuanwen was still in a coma and her imperial edict of pardon had not yet appeared, so how could she own a salt well?
Ever since McDull threw her luggage away and Zhou Shaoyu got furious and said that the room was for her, she has been leaning towards him.
When Xu Wenrong proposed to use the salt mine as compensation, she decided to take McDull's salt well and give it to Zhou Shaoyu.
"I accept the defeat. The bet between Prince Mai, Princess Xiyue and Mr. Xie stands." Old Chairman Qiu's face darkened. Going back on his word? Do you think these old guys are just decorations?
This bet must be fulfilled. All the bigwigs in the salt industry are here, unless the King of Nanzhong no longer wants to be in the salt industry.
"Give it to her!" Princess Xiyue snorted unwillingly, and watched with poisonous eyes as the title deed and mining documents of the Linjiang Salt Mine were handed over to Xie Yanyan.
Xie Yanyan also handed it to Zhou Shaoyu on the spot.
McDull felt mixed emotions as he watched this.
She could only deceive herself and think that she would go back and tell her father immediately that she was willing to marry Zhou Shaoyu as the Crown Prince's Consort, and the Linjiang Salt Mine would be considered as her dowry!
Xie Yanyan got on the carriage and followed Zhou Shaoyu and his party back to Keyue Inn in a grand procession, just like they were showing off their official titles on the street.
People in the streets and alleys were saying like a myth that today they saw what refined salt is.
There are a lot of visiting cards wanting to meet Xie Yanyan.
Xie Yanyan wouldn't look at it, let alone see it.
"How do you plan to manage that salt well?" Zhou Shaoyu returned the deed and documents to her.
"Didn't I tell you?"
"I just said this casually at the time, fearing that Prince Mai would refuse to pay."
"If you don't want it—" She turned to ask Xie Anfeng, "Father, how about giving it to my cousin?"
But she also knew that she was asking Xie Anfeng this question out of respect for him. At present, neither the Xie family nor the Xu family could take over this salt well, only Zhou Shaoyu could take it.
If Prince Mai knew that she was a fugitive, I'm afraid he would never be able to get the salt well.
"Sister, let's give this salt well to Prince Zhou!" Xu Wenrong said, "The Xu family values literature and is unmatched in assisting the king, but they are not good at business."
[My sister agreed to the bet just for Crown Prince Zhou]
[The King of Nanzhong must be unwilling to accept this. Only the King of Nanhai is capable of taking over this salt well.]
Xie Yanyan handed the deed to Zhou Shaoyu: "Here you go!"
Zhou Shaoyu naturally thought of a lot of things. He took it and said seriously: "I will keep the salt well for you. I will give you an account for all mining and sales once a quarter."
Zhou Shaoyu held the land deed and documents and asked Zhou Tu in an unclear tone: "What are your plans?"
Zhou Tu has been stunned ever since he saw the salt purified by Xie Yanyan in the Princess's Mansion.
When Xu Wenrong called Xie Yanyan "sister", he realized that there was a young lady in front of him. Her talent and appearance surpassed Princess Xiyue's.
He bowed to her sincerely and said, "I am blind, please forgive me, Miss Xie."
Xie Yanyan said nothing, his expression indifferent.
"I will follow the orders of the prince and Miss Xie and carry them out to the letter."
Xie Yanyan was annoyed: "When your master asks you what your plan is, just tell him what your plan is. Don't talk about anything else."
"Yes! I will first send someone to take over the salt wells, and mining, refining, and sales will continue as usual. In addition, we will continue to purchase crude salt. I hope Miss Xie can help purify the crude salt."
"I don't have time to stay here any longer." Xie Yanyan knew what he was thinking, so he told him clearly, "This salt well will belong to the Zhou family from now on, not the Xie family. You can mine and sell it however you want, and I won't interfere. But I'll take 30% of the profit from the salt well."
Originally, she wanted to give it away for free, but Zhou Tu schemed against her like this, so she would take 30% of the profit.
Zhou Tu was overjoyed and said, "Yes."
Originally, according to the prince, the palace was going to let Xie Yanyan manage the salt wells for free, so he proposed to purchase the crude salt and asked Xie Yanyan to help them process and purify it.
[It’s great that the salt well belongs to the palace. She only takes 30%. The salt well is the hen that lays golden eggs.]
Xie Yanyan just looked at him coldly, and thought that this man was the general manager of the salt industry in the palace, so he didn't say much.
Zhou Shaoyu looked a little unhappy, and said: "This salt well will always belong to Xie, not Zhou. We will not take a penny of the profit. We just want a reputation. With the salt well, we have a say in the salt business, and that's enough."
Without waiting for Xie Yanyan to be polite again, he immediately said, "Whoever doesn't want to do it, get out!"
Xu Wenrong's ugly expression finally eased, and he almost said that the Xu family had taken over the salt well.
Zhou Tu led his men downstairs, and Zhou Shaoyu also left.
Seeing him walk out with murderous intent on his face, Xie Yanyan said, "No one is perfect, loyalty is good."
She could understand Zhou Tu's calculations against her.
Zhou Tu was a businessman with a complicated mind and was very calculating.
Besides, she and Zhou Shaoyu have no relationship at all. It is understandable that Zhou Tu, standing on the side of the royal palace, does not want to give her anything in vain.
"I don't want that salt well, so I'll give it to you." She lowered her eyes and said lightly, "I wanted to give it to you from the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have made the bet with her."
Zhou Shaoyu sighed lightly, then suddenly smiled and said, "I want to eat naan."
"Can."
"I also want to drink sour plum soup."
"good."
Xie Yanyan went out to buy groceries, and Xie Anfeng followed her.
He was a man of few words, and Xie Yanyan was also a taciturn person. The two of them filled their backpacks with shopping but didn't say much.
There is a pancake oven in the kitchen of Keyue Inn, a large oven that is as tall as a person, with charcoal on the bottom layer and several layers of grills inside.
The temperature is estimated to be above 200 degrees at all times.
She planned to make two pizzas first, which was the naan that Zhou Shaoyu wanted to eat.
While the pizza was baking, she prepared two plates of egg tarts and baked them in the oven.
Xie Anfeng silently accompanied her to cook, not because he was craving for the delicious food, but because he felt uncomfortable.
Yan'er really defeated Princess Xiyue.
Winning a salt well is something that many people cannot achieve in their entire lifetime.
However, due to the burden of the Marquis' Mansion, it cannot be saved.
