Chapter 467 One Hundred Taels of Pure Silver
The space spirit choked. Su Nuan must have her reasons for doing things, but this was like asking the God of Wealth to give to someone else. No matter how you looked at it, this was a disadvantage.
Su Nuan comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss."
The space spirit shut up helplessly, waiting to see how Su Nuan would turn things around.
The old man's hands were shaking with excitement. "Can we still make oil? The only oil on the market right now is animal oil. If a new oil could be found..."
After a pause, the old man continued, "This is a very profitable business. We can't accept it."
Su Nuan saw that the old man struggled for a while and decided to give up, which meant he didn't want to take advantage of her.
She then said, "How about this, how about you give me a share?"
The old man pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll give you 30%, and you don't have to worry about anything."
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, sure, put it under Xiao Lingtian's name."
The old man frowned and said, "You two are..."
He paused again, stomped his foot, and said, "Even if you're married, you can't hand over your private property to your husband's family. Do you understand?"
Su Nuan was stunned. The old man treated her as a member of the Yang family and was admonishing her with good intentions.
Yang Yue also nodded and said, "That's right. Even if you are a couple, you can't put all the benefits you deserve in someone else's name."
“Only by holding money in your own hands can you live a better and more comfortable life.”
Su Nuan patted Yang Yue's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, I don't mind this. Besides, I'm investing."
The old man frowned and said, "Didn't the Xiao family in Rongcheng fall? Your investment is too risky."
Su Nuan shook her head. "No, the Xiao family won't fall. They'll just change the person sitting in that chair. So I'm investing."
The old man thought for a moment and asked, "Do you really think highly of him?"
Su Nuan nodded seriously, "Watch it."
The old man looked around and finally said in a resounding voice: "Okay, my Yang family stands on the side of the Xiao family."
Su Nuan didn’t know how much help Xiao Lingtian could get by having the Yang family side with the Xiao family, but the Yang family’s abilities should not be underestimated, and she even wanted the Yang family to work for her for free.
Thinking of this, she helped the old man sit down and said, "Grandpa, you are very good at training birds. Have you ever thought about training birds like pigeons and Saker Falcons?"
The old man asked suspiciously, "Pigeons? Are you raising them to eat?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "Pigeons love home. No matter how far you let it go, it will always find its way home."
"I thought that people who travelled and wanted to write letters home would have to find a post station, but letters wouldn't be delivered that quickly. It would be better to take pigeons with you and use them to deliver letters when you arrive at your destination to report your safety."
The old master is indeed an old fox. His eyes flickered and he said, "The Xiao family is of high status, right?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Not low, very high."
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, raise pigeons."
The conversation between the two confused the younger generations of the Yang family.
Yang Yue said angrily, "Grandpa, can you guys stop playing dumb?"
The old man said, "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking, and should not ask too many questions."
Yang Yue pouted, feeling aggrieved but not daring to ask more questions.
However, Su Nuan understood very well why the old man asked whether the Xiao family was strong. He realized that the pigeons could be used as a tool for transmitting information, and having pigeons was equivalent to having a powerful intelligence network.
If the Xiao family is not strong enough, then this intelligence network component will be stolen by others, and it may even lead to the destruction of the entire family.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. There's no danger in the early stages. Just take care of it. You can also sell the pigeon eggs. Selling them at a high price is also a source of income."
"Well... of course, pigeon soup, roasted squab and the like can all be sold for money, so the protection period for pigeons... three to five years shouldn't be a problem."
"When the Xiao family rises in three to five years, someone will naturally come to protect you."
The old man pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I know what to do."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I have to go out of town to do something tonight, so I'll give you some of this ration first."
As he spoke, he took out two hundred kilograms of compressed pet food from the space and said, "These are better used as training rewards."
"If a bird is sick, you can feed it this pure food for a day, and basically any minor illness or injury will recover."
The old man's eyes flashed and he asked, "I wonder if Miss Su can provide this food for a long time?"
Su Nuan was waiting for this sentence, but she said in embarrassment: "This... I can't live here permanently, and transporting it back and forth is also troublesome."
The old man said, "One hundred taels of pure silver per catty."
Su Nuan didn't expect him to offer such a high price, and stared at the old man in a daze.
The old man thought the price was too low and raised the price, "How about one hundred and fifty taels per catty?"
Su Nuan shook her head repeatedly, "That's not necessary, one hundred taels will be enough, but I can only let Feixue come once a month, and it can only carry a thousand pounds at most."
Although one thousand kilograms sounds like a lot, the amount of food I raise is not enough for a month's consumption due to the large number of birds I raise.
Of course, this cannot be used as staple food. It can only be used as a reward for training and for treating illnesses. It is barely enough.
Su Nuan gave this number after careful consideration so as not to give them the opportunity to stockpile goods.
The old man nodded and said, "Okay, but can this pet food be customized? After all, the tastes required for raising animals and birds are different."
Su Nuan nodded, "It can be customized. My pets... tigers and wolves do have different tastes."
The old man swallowed his saliva and asked, "Do you also have pets at home?"
Su Nuan shook her head, "No, I train pets. I caught them all from the wild."
The old man's eyes lit up. "No wonder you can prepare such good food. Pet trainers are more familiar with pets' tastes."
Yang Yue finally found an opportunity to interrupt, "Grandpa, since you're a pet trainer, can you let me see the creature locked up in our dungeon?"
Su Nuan became interested and asked, "What is it?"
If it is an animal without spirituality, then I have no way to communicate with it. I hope it is a special creature.
The old man nodded and said, "Well, give it a try. If you still don't obey, I'll have to let you go."
Yang Yue anxiously pulled Su Nuan and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see it."
Su Nuan followed curiously. What kind of animal was it?
Yang Yue took Su Nuan to a room in the backyard, where there was an entrance to the cellar.
As they walked down the stairs, Yang Yue said, "Be careful, it's a bit damp here."
Su Nuan nodded, looked at the oil lamp on the wall and asked, "Do you often come in and out of here?"
Yang Yue sighed, "Yeah, this guy is really stubborn. He eats everything we give him, but after eating, he becomes aggressive. We can't tame him at all."
Su Nuan was filled with questions. What could be locked up in such a damp place? Could it be a snake?
She touched the little snake around her waist, but it didn't react at all, so it probably wasn't a snake.
Yang Yue said, "We're here. Wait for me to light the fuse."
