Chapter 123 Working Together
What girl doesn’t like shopping?
Gradually, Luo Shuyan also understood the taste of the others, and the three of them were having a great time shopping!
The doors and windows were installed, and the large pieces of furniture that had been ordered were brought in. Soon, small items were also decorated. Gradually, the yard over there began to have a bit of a lively atmosphere.
Lin Mo and his cousin chose the 20th day of the 12th lunar month to officially move in. They decided not to hold a housewarming banquet, but to hold one in the first lunar month to officially marry Luo Shuyan.
On the day of moving, Zhou Hansheng came, still bringing Zhaonan and a few others with him. He said that the matter was settled and they couldn't go home for the New Year. If the Zhao family didn't mind, they wanted to celebrate the New Year at the Zhao family.
Zhao Xiang and Deng were eager to make their home more lively, so they agreed with a smile.
Zhao Liya was also happy that Brother Zhou would be spending the New Year at home, and she could enjoy the sight for quite some time.
At this time, the sugarcane workshop had already been completed and closed, and the papermaking workshop was preparing to start work after the New Year.
The villagers of Zaihu Village were extremely happy. Once the papermaking workshop started operating, everyone could earn wages again.
Now, the only thing Zhao Liya needs to worry about is the villagers of Yancun selling vegetables.
The various vegetables in the garden are expected to be delivered by the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. We are already very familiar with this task, and we just need to follow the established rules to deliver them, so there will be no accidents.
When we first planted the vegetables, we planted them in batches according to the supply time. They all grew just right and were delivered at the right time.
After the sugar was made, Zhao Liya asked the soldiers who came to transport the vegetables to bring a hundred kilograms of yellow sugar to General Zhong Jing as a gift, saying that they would visit him again when they had time during the Spring Festival.
We can discuss important matters then.
Zhong Jing should not be in the military camp at that time. No one knew where he and Zhou Hansheng went. His deputy general ordered the soldiers to express their gratitude and said that they would tell the general when he returned.
Zhou Hansheng came over at this moment. In addition to the flour, exquisite candies, roasted nuts, dried goods and seafood that he brought them, there were also many dried goods and seafood sent by Zhong Jing, as well as a box of rice beads the size of soybeans, about one or two hundred of them.
Although they are rice beads, each one is snow-white, round and flawless, and obviously has been carefully selected.
It can be strung together with silver or gold thread to make a necklace or bracelet, or it can be coiled into various shapes and inlaid with hairpin flowers.
Zhao Liya couldn't help but say to Zhou Hansheng, "This is too valuable. I'll have to return it after a while. I don't know much about the market, but I know it's not cheap. They need silver everywhere in their military camp. How can I leave it here?"
Zhou Hansheng felt amused, thinking that this girl was very attentive. Even though they didn't interact much, she could tell that Zhong Jing was having a hard time.
Zhou Hansheng smiled and said, "Although he's having a hard time, it's not that bad. This is a token of his love, so don't worry and accept it."
Zhao Liya thought for a moment and said, "Well, if that's the case, I'll take it. I still have a lot of good candy here, but I don't have a good way to sell it. I wonder if Brother Zhou and General Zhong would be interested?"
I had to talk about this anyway, and now that it's time to talk about it, I might as well say it.
Zhou Hansheng didn't quite understand.
Zhao Liya smiled sweetly. This was not surprising, after all, he had never seen white sugar.
"Brother Zhou, please wait a moment."
Because of the need to keep it secret, even after the sugar was ready, Zhao Liya brought back a small jar to show Zhao Xiang, and then kept it in her room. No one else saw it.
When she showed it to Zhao Xiang, she deliberately asked him to guess what it was. Zhao Xiang thought it was salt and was very surprised where she got such salt from.
Later I found out it was white sugar. Just like Hu Ling and the others at first, I was quite surprised.
Zhao Liya brought the small jar over and showed it to Zhou Hansheng. "This is the sugar I was talking about, white sugar. It's also made from cane sugar, but I don't think there's such sugar sold on the market, right?"
Zhou Hansheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, surprised and delighted. "Forget selling it! I've never even heard of such candy. This white sugar is truly worthy of its name, pure white like snow, crystal clear! You guys are amazing!"
Zhao Liya raised the corners of her lips with a hint of pride. "I know this thing is rare, but I didn't dare put it on the market after I made it. It's a shame that it wouldn't sell for a good price in a small place like Gaolian County. I was just thinking about finding a way, and I just happened to think of Brother Zhou and General Zhong!"
Zhou Hansheng nodded. "You're right. Don't expose this thing to others, or it might cause trouble. Although we're not afraid of trouble, trouble is still trouble."
After a pause, he continued, "I'll be visiting Lingnan often. If you have anything to tell me, please tell me. Don't worry about Zhong Jing. If I'm not around, and it's not urgent, you can write to me and have Zhong Jing pass it on. If it's an urgent matter, let him handle it. He's not as reliable as me, so don't go to him if you can go to me."
Zhao Liya felt a little sweet for no reason, "Okay!"
Of course she would rather find Brother Zhou!
Zhao Liya added, "If Brother Zhou has a way to sell this sugar to Jiangnan, he'll definitely be able to fetch a good price."
There is no shortage of rich people in Jiangnan. What rich people want is something rare, precious, and unique.
They will definitely be chasing after this snow-white and crystal-clear sugar.
They don't say that brown sugar and yellow sugar are all sugar, what they want is the rarity.
Zhou Hansheng nodded and smiled, "I'll find a way. Don't worry, after you give me the sugar, just wait for the payment. Don't worry about anything else. This matter won't involve you. By the way, how much sugar do you have?"
Zhao Liya: "About 84,000 to 85,000 kilograms."
Zhou Hansheng: “.”
"Uh, isn't that a bit too much?"
"Well, it's quite a lot, but more is a good thing."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Zhao Liya said readily, "Brother Zhou has done me a great favor and solved a difficult problem. All the costs will be my responsibility, and we'll make a net profit. How about I take 60% and Brother Zhou take 40%? Regarding General Zhong, I wonder if it would be convenient for him to help? If necessary, I'll give him 10% of my profits."
Zhou Hansheng said, "His share counts towards my 40%, so you can keep your 60% unchanged. In this case, we're the ones who benefited."
Zhao Liya chuckled: "It's mutual. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to take action so easily."
Zhou Hansheng's eyes were filled with admiration. He hadn't expected her to be so capable. Just this sugar alone could bring in a torrent of silver.
In addition to admiration, he also felt a vague sense of pride in his heart.
It is just the right time to rush and transport the sugar in batches to Jiangnan. After all, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the wealthy families have a greater demand for these things.
