And knowing that he was in a difficult situation regarding potato planting, they gave him a thousand kilograms of potato seeds for free. This not only helped him a lot, but also did a great job for Taihe Town.
This involves both money and effort, and his status as a county magistrate alone is probably not enough. Even he has to admire Lin Yunchu's broad-mindedness.
Lin's father, who was standing aside, was flattered when he heard County Magistrate Cao call his name affectionately. His face flushed and he waved his hands in a daze.
He was so nervous that he couldn't speak. County Magistrate Cao was really flattering him too much. He was just an ordinary farmer, but the county magistrate could call him by his name so affectionately.
He was concentrating on teaching County Magistrate Cao and others how to grow potatoes, which was something he was good at. For a moment, he forgot about his nervousness. Now County Magistrate Cao was standing next to him.
He was even called by his full name in a friendly manner, which really scared him. However, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He could only shake his head repeatedly with a flushed face.
"Being able to do something for the people of Taihe Town is what we should do, it's nothing to worry about!"
Lin Yunchu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said some polite words to County Magistrate Cao with a smile on his face.
"If there are any problems later, feel free to come to Qingxi Village to find us. Our Lin family will definitely cooperate fully."
Haven't you eaten pork but seen a pig run? Lin Yunchu naturally spoke in a roundabout way in front of County Magistrate Cao, who was the county magistrate who had the power of life and death in the town.
There is naturally no harm in having a good relationship with him. Looking at the head of the village and the elders standing on the edge of the field, they have a more meaningful relationship with Lin's father.
This was different from the look he had in the past towards Lin's father. In the past, it was simply gratitude towards the Lin family for helping Qingxi Village, but now there was more respect.
Lin Yunchu knew that this was all because of County Magistrate Cao's attitude towards Lin's father today. He was a county magistrate of a town, and he not only went to the fields himself to learn about potatoes from Lin's father.
He also called Lin's father by his name affectionately and had a warm attitude, completely different from others.
Unlike Lin's father's helpless reaction, the village head and the elders were all smart people and they saw it all clearly.
Now that the Lin family has won the favor of County Magistrate Cao, they will have to carefully consider everything they want to do in the future.
While everyone was resting at the Lin family's house, Xue Jingran pulled Lin Yunchu aside and told him about another important matter for which he had come today.
He wanted to cooperate with Lin Yunchu and open another puppet shop.
Lin Yunchu only needs to cooperate with Yipin Pavilion and provide new designs regularly. Xue Jingran will be responsible for the rest, and they will each get half of the profits.
After hearing Xue Jingran's words, Lin Yunchu was distracted for a while.
She had to admit that the idea of splitting the profits in half really made her feel tempted. After all, she didn't have to worry about anything and just had to draw up the drawings.
But what she didn't expect was that Xue Jingran would actually propose to split the dividends in half for each of them. This obviously meant that she was getting the upper hand.
She knew that the Xue family had more than just Yipintang. She had heard from Shopkeeper Zhou that Xue Jingran had inspected the shops in the surrounding towns a few years ago.
He didn't come back until almost the Chinese New Year. The Xue family's businesses included restaurants, cloth shops, rice shops, etc.
Xue Jingran looked at Lin Yunchu's flickering expression, and knew without thinking that he must be wondering why he gave Lin Yunchu such a large dividend.
Lin Yunchu did the same when she first opened Yipintang, offering new dishes, but the profit was only 20%. It was no wonder that she thought too much.
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Xue Jingran's face, and he coughed lightly.
“Ahem…”
Then he said:
"The two stuffed dolls you gave Yao'er before the Lunar New Year, Yao'er later invited many of her sisters to her home, and they all loved them so much. I think this is a great business opportunity."
Xue Jingran is a genuine businessman and is very sensitive to these things. When he saw the reactions of Mrs. Xue and his younger sister.
He had already thought of this idea, but he was not sure at that time. Later, his two younger sisters invited many young ladies to the house, and the atmosphere was unprecedented.
Now many people in the town were secretly asking him about the two rag dolls, but he just smiled and kept silent.
As soon as he had some free time, he heard that his brother-in-law was coming to the Lin family in Qingxi Village, so he eagerly asked to go with him.
I was thinking that when I got to the Lin family, I would talk to Lin Yunchu about this matter in person.
He had thought about the dividend issue very clearly when he was in the mansion. He had traveled all over the country for many years, but he had never seen this thing before.
Although he couldn't explain the pattern on it, he found it surprisingly harmonious.
The pattern on it looks vivid and cute, completely different from the embroidery patterns we usually see, and it is made into the shape of a doll.
Not to mention the little girls of the same age as my younger sister, even the ladies who came to the Xue Mansion with her liked her very much.
There were quite a few people who asked Mrs. Xue to come to him and inquire about Lin Yunchu. Each of them was determined to have a rag doll like the two Xue Jingyao had.
After thinking it over, Xue Jingran came up with this idea. This is a rare market. In the entire Taihe Town, the surrounding towns, and even the entire Zhou Dynasty, only their shop can make such puppets in the future.
Fifty percent of the profit seems to be divided equally, but it is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation for two people.
Moreover, he had just asked Lin Yunchu about the pattern of this rag doll. It was her idea and no one else could draw it.
"Don't hesitate. You just need to be responsible for drawing up the designs. I'll take care of the rest. Once the shop opens, business will definitely be booming."
As long as Lin Yunchu agrees, he will go back and take care of this matter himself, and he will be able to get the shop and the embroiderer's affairs done soon.
The next step was to pick a good day to open for business. Thinking of how much those ladies loved the rag doll, Xue Jingran couldn't help but rub his hands. This business would definitely be good.
Lin Yunchu held his chin with his hand and thought for a long time. He looked up at Xue Jingran again and said after a while, "I only want 40% profit, but I have to personally inspect the quality of the finished dolls."
After a pause, he continued, "I will find someone to do this quality inspection work later and be responsible for this matter."
Lin Yunchu thought of his cousin Xie Chunjiao. He didn't know whether she would be willing to do this. Cousin Chunjiao was very good at embroidery. She had made several clothes and cloth bags for her.
Moreover, being able to work in a shop in town should be a good thing for Xie Chunjiao.
After saying that, Lin Yunchu looked at Xue Jingran without blinking, waiting for his reply.
