Chapter 32 Round Coral
Lin Dongjia smiled and took Ye Mingzhu's hand: "I felt that Sister Ye looked kind when I came in. Sister, please call me Sister Lin."
Ye Mingzhu readily agreed: "Sister Lin, should we sign an agreement?"
Lin Dongjia nodded immediately: "Of course, of course, I will find someone to write it now."
Ye Mingzhu watched her find someone to write an agreement. There were two agreements in total, one with Linglong Pavilion in Pinggu Town, and the other with Linglong Pavilion outside Pinggu Town.
"Sister, Linglong Pavilion is my mother's property. The Linglong Pavilion in Pinggu Town is my dowry shop. Please keep this agreement for now. I need to discuss the other Linglong Pavilion agreements with my parents before I can give them to you."
Ye Mingzhu directly pushed the blueprints and pearls to her: "Sister Lin can make these two pieces of jewelry and bring them over together. After all, words are not enough."
This is what Mrs. Lin meant. Although she thought the blueprint was good, the Lin family was big and a 10% profit was also very high.
Ye Mingzhu took out the pearls she brought and sold them to Lin Dongjia at prices ranging from forty to sixty, for a total of 600 coins.
Uncle Ye brought 25 pearls and sold them for 1,300 coins.
"These pearls can be made into jewelry according to the two pictures I gave you." Ye Mingzhu took out a dozen pearls from the pearls brought by Uncle Ye San, and put the rest in a small bucket and handed it to Lin Dongjia.
"Sister Lin, please keep these pearls for now. I'll go back and draw a few more pictures and send them over in a few days."
Among the pearls picked out by Ye Mingzhu, there were two that were particularly round and could almost be considered first-grade pearls. There were also a few that were not very regular and were bought by Mr. Lin because of their first transaction.
If Ye Mingzhu can make these low-quality pearls into jewelry, Linglong Pavilion can set aside a counter to sell these in the future, and attract more people to come in.
Ye Mingzhu saw the joy on Lin Dongjia's face and said nothing more. She planned to make some of the not-so-good pearls into rings, which could be sold individually or given as gifts to big customers.
However, they have just reached a cooperation intention, and she does not intend to interfere in the management of Lin Dongjia.
It’s not too late to mention it after she draws the ring picture.
Lin Dongjia asked someone to get money and snacks, and he also tried to get close to Ye Mingzhu in a friendly way. The two of them talked affectionately like sisters.
In the end, Lin Dongjia only knew that Ye Mingzhu lived in Yuanshan Village, and that only her younger brother was left at home. She made a living by collecting pearls, and he didn't find out anything else.
Soon, Ye Mingzhu and Uncle Ye San each got a handful of copper coins.
Ye Mingzhu was fine, but Uncle Ye's hands were shaking a little. The price of pearls this time was higher than before. Thinking of the corals that had not been sold yet, he would only be responsible for collecting pearls and earn money in the future. He was full of confidence in the future.
Lin Dongjia felt that Uncle Ye behaved like a fisherman, and Ye Mingzhu gave her a feeling of being unfathomable.
Ye Mingzhu put the money away and stood up: "Sister Lin, we have other things to do, so we'll leave first. We'll come back in two days."
Uncle Ye came back to his senses from his joy, hurriedly put away the money, glanced at the pearls in the backpack, and stood up.
"Sister Ye, don't leave yet. Look at my shop. It only sells pearls and gold and silver jewelry. It really doesn't make any money. Now you have 40% of the profit in this shop. If we had some corals and other things, our Linglong Pavilion would definitely become the largest jewelry store in Pinggu Town."
Lin Dongjia looked at Ye Mingzhu with anticipation.
Ye Mingzhu smiled faintly: "Sister Lin, if I remember correctly, the agreement we just signed was that I would only take 40% of the jewelry I provided the design for. Does that mean Sister Lin is going to give me 40% of all the jewelry in the store?"
Lin Dongjia choked. Of course, that was not what she meant.
"Sister, just tell me something straightforward. Do you have any coral?"
Ye Mingzhu blinked her eyes and said, "Sister Lin also knows that there are very few corals here. It all depends on luck to find some occasionally."
Lin Dongjia's face was full of joy. From the sound of it, it seemed that there was coral?
"We are all family, I will definitely not offer a low price. Is the coral in my sister's hand red?"
"Coral? Sister-in-law, there is coral here?" A woman in pink clothes came in from outside, her face full of surprise.
"Wanyi, when did you come?" Lin Dongjia stood up with a look of surprise on his face.
"Hello, sister-in-law. I just arrived and heard you talking about coral. You promised me before that if you have coral jewelry, you must keep it for me." The woman in pink pouted and shook Lin Dongjia's arm.
"I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. Now I don't have it, right? Wanyi, this is Sister Ye. Sister Ye, this is my sister-in-law Jiang Wanyi."
Mr. Lin introduced the two of them.
As soon as Jiang Wanyi came in, she saw the two people opposite her and thought they were just ordinary fisherman's village girls. She didn't expect that her sister-in-law would specially introduce them to her.
Jiang Wanyi put away the delicate expression on her face and bowed softly, "Hello, Miss Ye."
Ye Mingzhu also greeted her with a smile.
"Sister Ye, my sister-in-law has already been engaged. She will be married next year in our capital city. If you have coral, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
Mr. Lin's words are meant to please both parties, it just depends on whether Ye Mingzhu can understand it.
Ye Mingzhu naturally would not let down Lin Dongjia's kindness. She smiled and said, "The corals we have are a little small, and there aren't many red ones, so we didn't take them out."
Lin Dongjia and Jiang Wanyi looked at each other and then looked at Ye Mingzhu at the same time.
"Sister, are you saying that the coral in your hand is not only red, but also has other colors?"
You should know that most of the corals in the Dashun Dynasty were red. Although there were other colors, they were rare.
Ye Mingzhu looked at the expressions of the two men and asked Uncle Ye to take out the coral he had brought.
Uncle Ye kept his head down, afraid of offending the two new girls. When he heard his niece's words, he handed the backpack to Ye Mingzhu and lowered his head again.
Ye Mingzhu: ...
She didn't expect her uncle to be so honest.
Ye Mingzhu carefully took out the coral and said, "We just discovered this coral. It's just some small branches, and it has these two colors."
The three members of Lin Dong's family could no longer hear Ye Mingzhu's words, as their attention was focused on the table.
Lin Dongjia was looking at the red coral, and Jiang Wanyi was looking at the pink coral.
"Sister-in-law, you promised me that you would sell the coral to me first, and I would have someone send the money to me later." Jiang Wanyi covered the coral lightly with her hand, fearing that her sister-in-law would not agree.
"Wanyi, these corals belong to Sister Ye." Lin Dongjia reminded Jiang Wanyi.
"I'll give you five hundred taels for these corals." Jiang Wanyi got married right away.
Uncle Ye’s body froze. Five hundred taels, how much money is that?
Ye Mingzhu glanced at the corals on the table and asked, "Miss Jiang, do you want them all?"
Jiang Wanyi glanced at Lin Dongjia uncertainly: "Sister-in-law, is it not possible?"
Is it the price? Or is it that I can't have them all?
