In the side room, tea and snacks filled the table. The woman put away her usual fake smile and said, "My name is Hua Shan, and I'm the manager here. Miss, did you make this yourself?"

Fubao: "My family's craftsmanship was passed down from the older generation." Sometimes, you don't have to tell the truth.

Hua Shan smiled and asked, "What's your last name, Miss?"

Fubao said calmly: "My last name is Li, you can just call me Yishu." She felt uncomfortable listening to her being called "Miss" all the time.

Hua Shan immediately said, "Okay, Yishu. The cream is very good, and the price of this recipe...what do you think?"

Fu Bao said, "Originally, if we were to sell it ourselves, we wouldn't have to worry about sales. After all, good wine needs no bush. It's just that my family doesn't want to cause trouble, so they took it out. But... I don't want to sell the recipe completely."

Hua Shan knew that she was right. She had tried the product and found it to be many times better than their new face cream. If she opened a shop, Yuxiangzhai's business would be affected to some extent.

Hua Shan thought it was a little funny that he was talking about business with a little girl whose teeth had not yet grown out. He even suspected that he was crazy.

Fu Bao stared into her eyes and said, "This cream is just very basic. It's only a matter of time before we make more styles."

Hua Shan: "So what do you think?"

Fu Bao: "I provide the recipes and the making of bottles and jars, which will definitely help you reach a higher level."

Hua Shan looked at the samples she brought and knew that she did have the ability: "I believe it."

Fu Bao: "Then I won't beat around the bush. I'll take 20% of the profits from the sale of the recipe I provided."

The little maid who was serving tea to Hua Shan gasped and looked at her in surprise.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Fu Bao continued, "I will provide new products of facial cream every three months. And the cost of making the jars will also be included in the 20%. You will only make more money."

Hua Shan no longer dared to look down on the little white ball in front of her, she was really here to discuss business.

Fu Bao: "The raw materials for the cream are not difficult to find, but the dosage is not easy to grasp. Its value, plus the reputation of Yuxiangzhai, is not too much for a can of five taels. Even if I take 20%, after putting aside the cost, I still make one tael more than your original cream."

She looked at the thoughtful woman in front of her with confidence. This business was a sure win. The only uncertain factor was how many "new products" Fubao had in his hands.

Fu Bao: "I brought five bottles here. You can give them to regular customers and let them try them. Then you can make a decision based on the feedback. As for the recipe, I can supply it for at least three years. Here are the types of creams I listed..."

A whole sheet of rice paper is filled with cursive calligraphy, which is so powerful that it can be seen through the back of the paper. Rose cream, jasmine cream, persimmon leaf cream...

Hua Shan: "Please sit down for a while. I will go and ask the young master for instructions."

After a cup of tea, Fubao saw Hua Shan coming over with a contract in his hand with a smile on his face, and he knew that the matter was settled.

Finally, Hua Shan accepted the recipe with a smile, and respectfully sent Fu Bao and Chong Ming out: "Have a nice time, the two of you. Yu Xiang Zhai will start selling the first batch in three days. You can come and have a look when you have time."

Fubao let Chongming lead her to the carriage. She felt like someone was watching them. Li Shuangrong stepped out from the crowd of people watching chess: "How is it going? Is it going well?"

Chongming said excitedly: "Uncle, you didn't see it. Yishu was sitting there, looking more like the boss than the manager. He just said a few words to the man on the other side, who was stunned and agreed just like that."

Li Shuangrong smiled and said, "I'm so excited for you. Yishu, are you thirsty? Dad bought you this bamboo leaf green snake."

Fubao came back to his senses, his face wrinkled, "Dad, I won't drink."

Li Shuangrong was stunned for a moment, then his hand holding the bamboo tube shook with laughter: "What are you talking about? You want to try it?"

Fu Bao couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so he took the bamboo tube, opened the lid, took a sip, and his eyes lit up: "What is this? It's delicious."

The refreshing and thirst-quenching sweetness is accompanied by the fragrance of bamboo. After swallowing, your mouth is filled with sweetness and the cool taste of mint.

Chongming was also drinking happily on the side.

Li Shuangrong whipped the horse and said, "It is said to be a specialty of Yuzhou, a sweet drink for little kids. If I dare to let you drink, your grandparents will break my heart when they go back..."

Fubao's eyes smiled into crescents, and he opened the curtain and handed the bamboo tube out: "Daddy, try it!"

Li Shuangrong pushed her hand back: "I've already drunk it. I bought more than a dozen cans. You can drink it."

Fubao then sat back and was about to look away when he saw two women and one man following their carriage stealthily.

It’s so haunting!

Fubao: "Dad! There's someone behind us."

Li Shuangrong glanced and said, "You two sit tight!"

Chongming hugged Fubao tightly, and the next moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly accelerated, running in the opposite direction of home.

Fubao: "My master and I saw them outside the city..."

Li Shuangrong's eyes were cold: "It's okay, Dad will take you back by a detour."

They were silent all the way. After arriving home, Fubao had no intention of paying attention to that shameless family. Now that the business deal was done, her other plan could be implemented.

Just as they arrived home, Li Darong and Zhang Ercui also came back from the county town outside Yuzhou driving a ox cart.

Fubao: "Uncle, aunt, have some water." The bamboo tube in his hand had been soaked in well water and was now cooler.

Zhang Ercui drank most of it in one breath before saying, "There's someone selling land in Xijian Village, thirty miles outside Yuzhou City. It's five acres of land, not far from the river. But the land is not very good. It's prone to drought, and the soil is loose."

Fu Bao's eyes lit up: "How much silver?"

Li Darong said, "Five taels per mu of land."

Zhang Ercui said anxiously, "He originally wanted six taels of silver, but I almost wore out my lips before I could get him to five taels... There's so much sand on that land, how could he ask for six taels of silver? If you insist on finding sandy land, I won't even take a look..."

Fubao: "Thanks to my aunt." Zhang Ercui proudly puffed out her chest and raised her head, then waved her hand in a humble manner.

Li Darong: "We paid a deposit of one or two taels of silver. Tomorrow he will bring the land deed to the government office for registration, and we will pay the rest."

The purchase of land was approved by Li Huaiqing. Now the family had nothing but an ox cart and 150 taels of silver. Without land and a house, they were just like rootless duckweed in Yuzhou. Moreover, the prices here were high, and the money spent would not even make a dent.

So when Fubao proposed to sell the land, he quickly agreed and was even excited to go farming.

He didn't settle down until Fubao told him that the land was used to grow winter melons. That thing was expensive and difficult to grow, and he had no experience and couldn't help much.

On the second day, Fubao followed his uncle and cousin and paid the debt with thirty taels of silver, and got back the deed for five acres of land.

The land was finally given to them to plant. It was too far away, so they rented a small house in the village. Fubao gave them the seeds and invited an experienced winter melon grower from Qingzhou to explain the matter.

When the first batch of face cream was sold, Fubao rushed to Yuxiangzhai early. Zhao Xiuer also went with them to buy embroidery thread.
