Chapter 23 Honey Loquat Leaves

"Boss, Manager Tao said that the medicinal materials business is just a bonus, and that you and their boss have other transactions, so he asked me to sell the medicinal materials to them at a low price."

Xing Lun followed Song Jin out of the bookstore and spoke in a calm tone.

Song Jin was still in a state of panic, and when he heard Xing Lun's words, he asked in confusion, "Didn't you say to follow the market price?"

"I want the current market price, but they only want the original market price."

Xing Lun told Song Jin everything, including what he was thinking.

Song Jin suddenly realized.

Considering the profits, you can indeed take the opportunity to earn some starting capital.

At that time, she mentioned the market price because she was dissatisfied with the man's big appetite and his greed, so she wanted to make things difficult for him. However, she did not really want to sell it to him at the inflated current market price. That would not be a good relationship, but an enmity.

The bottom price in her mind is the original market price.

It is higher than the price the Song family sold it at in the past. In the past, the Song family sold it to other merchants at a profit that was 30% lower than the market price.

"Then we will cooperate first and split the net profit 50-50. However, let Shunan's people do the sales of medicinal materials. We can discuss again after the market price stabilizes."

Xing Lun's eyes lit up.

Can we still cooperate like this?

The appearance of a large number of Song's medicinal materials on the market will definitely attract the attention of peers, and there will be a lot of troubles to follow. The troubles will be thrown to Shunan, letting them bear the risks, while Jifang only needs to stay behind the scenes and make money safely.

Although half of the net profit is divided, but...

Wonderful! Xing Lun was very convinced by Song Jin.

When he came out of the bookstore, Xing Lun was still worried that Song Jin would agree to sell the herbs to Shunan at the original price. In that case, he would do so, but he would also be disappointed.

A calm and self-controlled boss who can clearly distinguish between public and private affairs is far better than a spendthrift and a poor manager.

In fact, in Song Jin's mind, the compensation she paid for the earlier transaction with Anton's family was already enough.

If Song Jin continued to make concessions, people would look down on her and think she was weak and could be bullied.

This is not conducive to future cooperation.

Song Jin praised: "Xing Lun, you did a good job this time. My father said that the way to do business is: first, keep your word, second, be righteous, and third, make a profit.

A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way.

We do not take ill-gotten gains, but we do not need to give up what belongs to us."

Xing Lun's eyes sparkled when he heard this.

Then he decided to make an appointment with Manager Tao.

Song Jin returned to the preparation room.

I actually saw a woman waiting inside.

"Little Miss!"

When Yin Long saw Song Jin, she excitedly stepped forward and knelt down, choking slightly as she said, "Yin Long greets the young lady."

The first two times Song Jin came to the shop, Yin Long went to the countryside to collect medicine, and unfortunately missed her. This time, the little medicine boy went to her to ask her to make honey. In the Jifang Pharmacy, there was a medicine room that belonged to Yin Long alone.

Yin Long wanted to meet Song Jin, so she took this opportunity to personally deliver the refined honey to him.

"Auntie Long, please get up quickly."

Song Jin hurried to help the man.

The two exchanged pleasantries and talked about personal matters for a while.

While talking, Song Jin was also preparing to roast the loquats, and Yin Long took the initiative to help.

Yinlong is very familiar with these tasks.

Song Jin had no intention of avoiding her and checked the refined honey that was delivered.

There is little difference in the refined honey out there.

The Song's Pharmacopoeia is different. It divides refined honey into young honey, medium honey and old honey according to the degree of refining. The refined honey is also selected according to the properties of the medicinal materials.

For example, when the stickiness of the medicinal material is strong, young honey should be used; when the stickiness is moderate, medium honey should be used; when the stickiness is poor, old honey should be used.

I want to prepare honey loquat leaves.

Judging from the depth of color, the honey Yinlong sent this time was old honey.

The weight ratio of refined honey to medicinal materials is four to one, which means that for one hundred kilograms of loquat leaves, twenty-five kilograms of refined honey are required.

Song brocade is prepared according to proportion.

Yinlong went outside and brought back half a bucket of cold boiled water.

Song Jin then took out the refined honey, diluted it with an appropriate amount of boiling water, added the dried loquat slices and mixed well.

When it is steamed thoroughly, place it in a frying pan.

Yinlong started a fire.

Stir-fry loquat leaves over low heat.

Song Jin stood beside the stove, holding the spatula in his right hand, and skillfully stirred the food over and over again, shoveling it to the bottom of the pot each time, trying to mix the dried loquats and refined honey evenly.

This step is especially important.

Yin Long didn't know what she was thinking, tears welled up in her eyes, "Miss, you've suffered!"

"ah?"

Song Jin was confused for a moment, "What's wrong with Aunt Long?"

From Song Jin's skillful movements, Yin Long thought that she had learned it many times in places where no one could see.

In order to support the Jifang medicine shop.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

For people like them, the young lady silently practiced roasting medicinal materials, which was really too difficult.

Yinlong was very touched and felt sorry for Song Jin.

He has to go through so much at such a young age.

"You've been frying for so long, you must be tired, young lady. Let me do it."

Yin Long stood up and tried to grab Song Jin's spatula. She was already very skilled at these tasks. "Please help me watch the fire."

"good."

Song Jin did not compete with Yin Long.

It would be exhausting for her to do all these tasks by herself. The method of roasting loquat leaves is not that complicated.

Yin Long said solemnly: "You did not avoid me when you were roasting the herbs. I can swear to heaven that I will not reveal what I saw today, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death. I——"

"Aunt Long!"

Song Jin interrupted her.

Silently, he stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, and then Song Jin said, "I will revive the family in the future. I can't do it alone."

"I will follow my master till death."

Yin Long was so excited that she put down the spatula and knelt in front of Song Jin.

Song Jin hurriedly picked up the wok and started frying. He was both amused and angry. "Auntie Long, I know. Hurry up and get up! We are still working."

"Ah, it's all my fault for forgetting about this. I almost ruined a whole pot of medicinal herbs."

Yinlong was very upset.

Song Jin then continued to stir-fry.

Seeing the fried loquat leaves turn slightly yellow, Song Jin would reach into the pot from time to time to pick up a leaf to see if it was sticky.

Fry until lightly browned and no longer sticky.

"Auntie Long can turn off the engine now."

Song Jin stir-fried for a while before putting down the spatula. "Let the dried loquats stay in the pot for a while, then put them on the medicine drying rack to cool before putting them into storage."

"Let me do this job."

Yinlong rushed to do the work, not wanting to let Song Jin suffer.

Song Jin was now sweating profusely, and the hair on her forehead was soaked with sweat, but she didn't care.

In other words, Yinlong felt that she was tired.

She didn't know how much work like this she had done in her previous life.

Song Jin didn't know at this moment that the expression of Shopkeeper Tao at the bookstore was very interesting.

This was the first time Xing Lun came to negotiate with him, but he didn't expect that he would propose cooperation and asked them to sell the medicine and give them 30% of the profit.

That proposed way of cooperation.

Manager Tao simply couldn't refute it.

After some fierce bargaining, Shopkeeper Tao negotiated the profit to 50%, and only asked Xing Lun to take a few books from his bookstore as a bonus.

Shopkeeper Tao was very happy and went to find Qin Chi with the contract.
