Chapter 256 Unable to Contact
Mengmeng: "I still need clay."
Hanmei: "I have about 900 jin of clay here. If you want to buy it, I'll give you the cost price, 10 copper coins per jin."
Meng Qingyin did some mental calculations. The other party had so much clay mine, so they must have hired players to help them mine it. This price was probably close to the cost price. Even if they didn't, Hanmei wouldn't make much profit.
Mengmeng: "What are your requirements?"
The fact that the other party was willing to sell her so much clay at a discount suggests they must have something in mind.
Otherwise, since the two of them had only collaborated once, and the other party wasn't a charity, why wouldn't they sell her clay for a profit?
Hanmei spoke frankly: "I want to cooperate with you. Your ceramic pots have a large market, and I am willing to provide you with raw materials—whether it is spirit stones or clay, I will provide them to you free of charge, but you have to share a portion of the profits with me. Alternatively, you can directly share some of the ceramic pots with me, and I will sell them myself."
Meng Qingyin did not rush to refuse.
There is still a large market for planting pots. Most players haven't completed the first task yet, and they all need planting pots.
After Zhou Haihai's high-priced planting pots, the sales of her ceramic pots will only increase.
If Hanmei can really provide the raw materials for the ceramic pots, all she needs to do is manufacture them—it's just a matter of lifting a finger, and she can practically make money while lying down.
Meng Qingyin cut to the chase and asked, "How will the profits be distributed?"
Hanmei: "I sincerely want to cooperate with you. We can split the profits 40/60, I get 60% and you get 40%. As for sales... you're more famous than me, and more people are following your store. You'll be in charge of sales. What do you think?"
Meng Qingyin didn't need to provide raw materials or exert much effort. Hanmei gave her four percent of the profit, which was one percent more than she had expected.
It seems that the other party is indeed sincere about cooperating.
Meng Qingyin readily agreed: "We can cooperate, and the profits will be distributed as you suggested. However, there's one issue: I still have several hundred kilograms of spirit energy stones. I need to finish processing these first before our cooperation can begin."
Hanmei: "No problem!"
After saying that, she directly traded over 900 jin of clay to Meng Qingyin.
Meng Qingyin made the miniature planting ceramic pots and put them on the shelves, but they were all sold out in no time.
Hanmei went to the chat area again to hire people to mine cryptocurrency.
Meng Qingyin didn't know what kind of props Hanmei had that allowed her to discover mines and obtain mining permits so frequently.
Perhaps that's what they relied on to get her to cooperate.
The next moment, Qingfeng arrived. She said helplessly, "Meng'er is not home. Only his daughter is home. I have a bit of a grudge with his daughter. She is unwilling to sell animal manure to me. Master, I have failed to do my job well and have disappointed you."
Master Mond's daughter?
That cheerful girl named Miaomiao?
Did she have a grudge against Qingfeng?
Meng Qingyin was really curious about how these two people could have a grudge.
Faced with Meng Qingyin's curious gaze, Qingfeng said helplessly, "I said a few bad things about Meng'er before, and the little girl heard it and remembered it."
Thinking back to when she first met Qingfeng, and how sharp-tongued she was, comparable to Master Moner, Meng Qingyin could easily understand why Miaomiao held a grudge against her.
The "few bad things" that Qingfeng said were probably mostly exaggerated.
Given Qingfeng's sharp tongue, it's quite a show of good manners that Miaomiao didn't chase people away with a broom.
Qingfeng felt a little guilty, "Actually, I didn't say anything..."
Meng Qingyin raised her hand: "Alright, you don't need to explain anymore. Take me to Meng'er's house. Miaomiao and I have a pretty good relationship. If I go to her to buy animal manure, she shouldn't refuse."
"You actually know that feisty little girl?" Qingfeng was surprised for a moment, but then he understood. "That makes sense. Master, you are very knowledgeable. You must also have some knowledge of animal taming."
Meng Qingyin patted Qingfeng on the shoulder, "This is definitely a case of 'praise to death'."
She's starting to understand the foolish rulers of ancient times who listened to slander; the slander of treacherous officials is indeed very pleasing to the ear!
Qingfeng naturally obeyed her master's command. She led Meng Qingyin to the vicinity of Master Meng's house.
Master Monument's house is an ancient Chinese courtyard with blue bricks and red tiles. A stream flows through the outside, and the vermilion gate is tightly closed.
Qingfeng hesitated. "Master, do you still need me to accompany you?"
Meng Qingyin noticed her hesitation. "No need. You wait here for me. I'll go by myself."
Qingfeng's expression immediately relaxed. "Alright then."
Meng Qingyin got out of the car and walked to the gate.
She reached out and knocked on the door, and a moment later, hurried footsteps echoed in the courtyard.
Soon, the door was flung open, and an angry broom came rushing towards them!
"I told you, if you come again I won't be polite!" Miao Miao glared angrily at the newcomer.
Upon seeing the person's face, she abruptly stopped sweeping, her tone turning to surprise and delight, "Sister, it's you!"
Meng Qingyin instinctively dodged the broom the moment it came at her. Looking at Miaomiao with lingering fear, she joked, "Your way of welcoming guests is truly unique..."
Miao Miao was embarrassed. "Oh dear, it's because some annoying person came to the door just now..." She threw down the broom and took Meng Qingyin's arm. "Sister, what brings you here?"
Since Miaomiao didn't mention Qingfeng, Meng Qingyin naturally wouldn't bring it up herself and cause any unpleasantness: "It's like this, I wanted to buy some animal manure, but I couldn't get in touch with your father, so I had no choice but to come over."
When Master Monument was mentioned, Miao Miao looked worried. "I can't get in touch with my dad either. He's been gone for many days and hasn't come back yet. He rarely loses contact with people in the past."
Meng Qingyin then recalled what Master Mondl had said, "Did he mention what business he was going out to run?"
Miao Miao shook her head. "No, he didn't tell me."
Her eyes were a little red. "Sister, I've been feeling anxious these past few days. I hope something hasn't happened to my dad."
"Don't scare yourself," Meng Qingyin reassured her. "Maybe Master Meng'er is just busy with something and can't be contacted for the time being. I'll keep an eye out for him."
Miaomiao was very grateful to Meng Qingyin. Hearing her say that, she felt a little more at ease. "Okay, thank you for your trouble, sister. Come on, I'll take you to the animal shelter."
The two walked through the corridor and arrived at the "animal shelter" that Miaomiao had mentioned.
This is the backyard, shaded by green trees and covered with lush grass.
Many animals leisurely stroll and forage on the grassland, including raccoons, antelopes, musk deer, clouded leopards, turtles, and various colorful birds that Meng Qingyin couldn't name.
The animals here were so complete that Meng Qingyin felt as if she had entered a zoo.
Miao Miao was used to it. She touched the horns of the antelope that came closer. The antelope looked docile and enjoyed her touch.
"Alright, I have important things to do. I'll play with you later." Miaomiao let go of Meng Qingyin's hand and said, "Sister, come with me."
