An Dashan said quickly: "Master, you are too polite. I don't know what your name is?"
The host smiled and said, "My last name is Lin."
An Dashan smiled and said, "So it's Mr. Lin. I heard from the shopkeeper that Mr. Lin is interested in cooperating with us. I wonder how Mr. Lin wants to cooperate?"
Lin Dongjia smiled and said, "I tried the dishes cooked with soybean oil yesterday and found that the taste of the dishes cooked with soybean oil is no worse than that of the dishes cooked with lard. I wanted to switch to soybean oil in my restaurant, so I wanted to talk to you about cooperation."
An Dashan nodded and said, "At present, the soybean oil workshop in my family has just started to press oil. I wonder how much soybean oil you need. Can my family supply it?"
Mr. Lin smiled and said, "I will buy as much as you can squeeze. At first, I will supply our own restaurant. When the soybean oil production is large, I can sell it to other places."
After hearing this, An Dashan turned to look at An Ning, who nodded and said, "Boss Lin, are you planning to buy it out?"
Lin Dongjia nodded and said, "It would be great if we could buy it out."
An Ning nodded and said, "It's fine if we can cooperate this way, but the harvest is different every year, so the price of raw materials is naturally not fixed. It depends on the situation every year."
Lin Dongjia nodded and said, "That's for sure. Since the county lady agrees, how about we sign a document once a year?"
An Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I've already agreed on the price with the shopkeeper this year, so let's just use 68 coins per pound!"
Lin Dongjia smiled and said, "Good county lady, you are so straightforward. Let's sign the deed today!"
An Ning naturally had no objection. With the help of Mr. Lin, he could save a lot of trouble. Although he might earn less money, he would have more time to do other things.
Lin Dongjia prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the contract by hand. After he finished writing the contract and dried the ink, he handed the contract to An Ning and said, "County Lady, take a look. Is there any problem with this contract?"
An Ning took the deed and looked at it. After finding no problems, he nodded and said, "There is no problem with this deed." Then he picked up a pen and signed his name on the deed.
After An Ning signed, Lin Dongjia also signed his name at the back. After both of them signed their names, the contract was established.
Lin Dongjia said to An Dashan and An Ning, "I will be your host today. Please stay for dinner to celebrate our successful cooperation."
An Dashan and An Ning did not refuse. An Dashan said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Lin for your hospitality."
Mr. Lin smiled, and the others started talking about other things, while the shopkeeper went downstairs to arrange the lunch.
Lin Dongjia was very generous. All the dishes cooked for lunch were the specialty of the ninth floor, and he even fried a few dishes with soybean oil.
Several people were talking while eating, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After eating and drinking, An Dashen and An Ning did not stay for long and drove the mule cart directly back home.
When they got home, An Dashan first told Gao what happened today. After hearing what An Dashan said, Gao felt relieved. She said, "Okay, okay, okay, now I feel relieved. After we finish this matter, we have to prepare Ningning's dowry as soon as possible."
An Dashan thought for a moment and said, "We need to discuss the dowry again. If Ningning gets married, she will follow her husband wherever he goes. Qingxuan may need to stay at the border for the rest of her life, so we can't prepare the dowry here."
Gao felt a little uncomfortable when she thought that her daughter might not be around in the future. She said, "Look, Dayong and his wife are also at the border now, and Ningning will also marry to a border town in the future. Why should we stay with this family? We can just follow them to the border."
Gao said this half out of anger, and half because she really wanted to move away. However, when she thought that she might never see her relatives again after leaving here, Gao was very conflicted. On the one hand, she couldn't bear to leave her children, and on the other hand, she couldn't bear to leave her relatives.
In fact, An Dashan also thought about moving directly to the border, but people always miss their hometown, so he never made up his mind.
As the two were talking, they heard An Ning coming over. An Ning pushed open the door and said, "Dad, Mom, what are you two whispering about? And you closed the door."
Gao said, "Aren't we two discussing preparing a dowry for you?"
An Ning shook her head and said, "What do you mean by dowry? Just take the money when the time comes." An Ning didn't care about this matter. After she finished speaking, she continued, "Dad, Mom, we have a lot of things to do at home now, and we don't have enough manpower. Why don't we hand over the rabbit raising business to grandma's family?"
Since she didn't interfere much in the family affairs, she didn't know much about it. She looked at An Dashan and said, "You two should discuss this matter. I won't interfere."
An Dashan nodded and said, "Although you can't make a lot of money raising rabbits, it's better than working outside. I'll go to your grandma's house tomorrow and ask your uncle if he's willing to raise rabbits. If he is, I'll give all these to him. If not, we'll sell all the rabbits."
An Ning nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go to grandma's house tomorrow. I haven't seen cousin Cuicui for a long time, and I miss her so much!"
After saying this, An Ning thought of another question, and she said, "Dad, the residue left after pressing the oil is best used to raise pigs. If grandma's family is willing, we can raise a few more pigs."
An Dashan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The next morning, An Dashan and his family got on the mule cart and went to An Ning's grandmother's house.
When Uncle Gao learned that An Dashan wanted to give the rabbits to his family to raise, he was very happy and said, "Raising rabbits is not difficult. We can give it a try."
An Ning's grandmother, Wang, also smiled from ear to ear and said, "I have really benefited from following your family for some time. Not only has the family made some money, but we have also bought a lot of land. Now you have passed on the money-making skills to us. I don't know how to thank you."
Gao patted her mother's hand and said, "Mom, why are you telling us thank you or not? We are all family. Besides, didn't you help us in the past?"
