Ye Diao perked up when he heard it. "What?"
Xue Huan asked him a question first: "What did you think of the hot pot we had earlier?"
"Is there even a need to ask that? Xiaoxian, what's so bad about the food you made? Wait, aren't you saying—"
Xue Huan nodded. "Yes, I'm planning to open a hot pot restaurant. Are you interested in investing?"
Ye Diao slapped his thigh and said, "How can there be no money? I have it! Just tell me, what do you need me to do?"
He knew that she was not short of money now. She had just received 200,000 taels of silver, and the hot pot recipe was in her hands. She could easily bypass him and open a hot pot restaurant directly.
Now that she wants to bring him into the group, it's probably because of their long-standing friendship and the desire to make money with him. Secondly, as the local boss, their Ye family has natural advantages that she can't compare with.
The leaf diao saw this very clearly.
Xue Huan took out a plan for opening a hot pot restaurant and said, "Brother Ye, take a look first."
After reading it, Ye Diao took a deep breath and said, "Xiaoxian, apart from the profit sharing, everything else is fine with me."
"Oh? Brother Ye thinks it's too low? We can still--"
"No, it's too high. The recipe is yours, and you don't lack the money. All I can do is provide the venue and manpower. There's no need to give me a 40% stake. 20% is more than enough."
"Brother Ye——"
"Xiaoxian, you don't have to say anything. It's 20%. I tried the hot pot the other day, and I can foresee how prosperous its future business will be. I'm already very happy that you're willing to let me join you. If I continue to take advantage of you against my conscience, my father and grandmother will probably break my legs."
So the two of them agreed, and immediately drafted a contract and signed it.
Afterwards, Ye Diao immediately got busy with all the affairs of the hot pot restaurant.
After he left, Xue Huan returned to the house with the box of banknotes. As soon as she closed the door, she jumped up. However, she forgot that she was already a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining and had extraordinary jumping ability. She almost hit the roof!
After falling to the ground, she opened the box again, took out the silver bills inside, counted them carefully, and couldn't help laughing.
Two hundred thousand taels! How should I spend such a large sum of money?
Xue Huan couldn't remember it for a moment. Now she could be said to have everything she needed. Apart from the two long-term projects of jade and antiques, there was basically no other place where she needed money.
How about giving it to charity?
When she robbed Qian Dazhi's warehouse, she said she would find an opportunity to sell the contents of the warehouse to do good deeds, but she had not been able to do it before. Now she can put this matter on the agenda.
There are many kinds of charity. Xue Huan thought about it and decided to focus on supporting orphans, so she asked Chen Tian to find out about the conditions of various orphanages in the city.
There were orphanages in ancient times, but they were not called orphanages, but were called orphanages.
Chen Tian went to inquire about the news, while Xue Huan entered the space and took out the black bead.
Now that the chili pepper issue was resolved, it was time to test her earlier guess.
This time Xue Huan was well prepared. After her spiritual sense penetrated, she remained alert at all times. When the meteorite came, she dodged it, but before she could catch her breath, another meteorite came rushing towards her. Seeing that she was about to be pierced by the meteorite again, she suddenly had an idea. A knife appeared in her hand and she cut the meteorite in one swipe.
it works!
After the meteorite was cut open, it turned into a shadow and disappeared without a trace. A bit of starlight emerged from it and sank into Xue Huan's body. Immediately, she felt her spiritual consciousness grow a little stronger!
I didn’t expect meteorites to have such an effect!
Then wouldn't she be able to come here every day to train and strengthen her spiritual consciousness?
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A series of meteorites shot towards him from different directions. Xue Huan didn't have time to think anymore and quickly raised the knife in his hand to chop them away.
But she only had one knife in her hand, and she was distracted. After she cut one, the other one broke through the defense line and rushed towards her.
Xue Huan was forced to log off again.
But perhaps because she had absorbed some starlight before, although her head still hurt this time, she did not faint immediately. She quickly drank a cup of spiritual tea.
The spiritual tea has the effect of refreshing the mind. After she drank it, her mind became clear and she felt better.
She had no effective way to recover her depleted spiritual energy, so she could only rely on sleeping.
Governor's Mansion.
Front yard study.
Zhang Shun was bending over his desk, writing a letter to the second prince, apologizing to him.
This time, he was careless and underestimated Zhao Xiaoxian!
He didn't expect that she would suddenly put the peppers up for auction, attracting countless wealthy businessmen to bid. In this way, the peppers would no longer be owned by her family alone, and his original plan would be dashed.
He couldn't help but wonder whether Zhao Xiaoxian knew about his plan in advance, otherwise why would he auction the peppers at this time?
This action of hers instantly turned her from passive to active. Not only did it divert the attention of those forces who were secretly watching her, but it also forced them to pay money to bid, allowing her to take the opportunity to make a fortune!
Yesterday he also sent people to Yingxian Tower. In order to bid for the peppers, he even prepared a lot of money out of his own pocket, but in the end he didn't win anything!
"Sir, the first thing brought up to Yingxian Tower was a chili pepper tree. The starting price was one thousand taels, but in just a short while, it was bid up to eight thousand taels! Finally, it was sold for thirteen thousand five hundred taels. I didn't even have a chance to bid."
Zhang Shun: “…”
He heard a hint of complaint in his subordinate's tone, because the total amount of silver notes he asked him to bring was only 10,000 taels.
He thought ten thousand taels was enough, but who would have thought that he couldn't even get the first lot!
All I can say is that those who bid were too crazy. Perhaps Yingxianlou arranged someone to deliberately drive up the price.
In short, Zhang Shun got nothing this time and could only find a way to make up for it later.
Otherwise, the peppers have already spread and are expected to bloom everywhere soon. However, the second prince, who should have taken the peppers for himself, didn't even get a single pepper seedling. He might not be able to continue his position as governor.
At the end of the letter, Zhang Shun expressed his loyalty and determination to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.
After rolling the written letter in a small iron tube, Zhang Shun came to the window, called a carrier pigeon, tied the iron tube to the foot of the lattice, and released the pigeon.
The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew into the air, but the next moment, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the carrier pigeon was hit by an arrow and fell straight down from mid-air.
After flapping twice, he died.
Zhang Shun was horrified and shouted, "Help! There's an assassin!" He hurriedly closed the window and hid in the study.
The patrolling servants rushed over after hearing the noise, but after searching the place, they couldn't even find the assassin.
But the carrier pigeon shot to death by an arrow did indicate that someone had sneaked into the governor's residence, and the assassin's act of shooting the carrier pigeon in front of the governor Zhang Shun was undoubtedly a provocation!
A servant picked up the carrier pigeon from the ground, carried it into the study and showed it to Zhang Shun.
