I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times

Manager He of Taoxia Pavilion had been waiting for a long time, and his eyes sparkled when he saw Jiang Yue coming.

"Sister, you are here."

"how?"

Shopkeeper He smiled and said, "To be honest, our boss wants to talk to you about soap."

Jiang Yue remained calm and waited for Manager He to continue.

"Sister, can you please stay and have dinner with us? We can talk while we eat."

Jiang Yue's face was expressionless: "Manager He, didn't we already have an agreement? I will deliver 30 bars of soap every five days. Manager He, are you going to regret it?"

Shopkeeper He waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "It's really because your soap is so popular that our boss wants to discuss a win-win solution with you. I wonder if you would like to sell your soap recipe?"

"Not for sale."

Shopkeeper He immediately smiled and said, "Would you like to know how much it costs? The boss wants to pay 10,000 taels of silver for your recipe."

Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes, thinking that it was too generous. It was not impossible that it was different from what she expected.

However, a big business like Taoxia Pavilion must have someone protecting it behind the scenes. Can she afford such 10,000 taels?

"Manager He, please don't lie to me."

"No? Don't worry, we at Taoxia Pavilion always do business fairly."

Shopkeeper He saw that Jiang Yue was hesitant and thought that she was already tempted. "Let's go, sister, you trust me, I have reserved a table at Baiweilou, let's have a meal together, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not."

"it is good."

So what if she took a risk?

Baiweilou was not far away. Jiang Yue and Manager He arrived there in less than a quarter of an hour.

As the largest restaurant in the county, Baiweilou has dining facilities downstairs and several private rooms upstairs.

A servant opened the door of the private room and said, "The distinguished guest is here. Please come in."

Jiang Yue was a little dazed. Isn't this boss the young man riding a horse on the street?

It's not that she has a good memory, it's that this man is really unforgettable. He is obviously very handsome, but he has a stubble beard.

"Girl? Please take a seat."

Manager He did not sit down with them, but stood aside.

"Haha! I didn't expect that the person who invented the soap was a little girl!"

The man opposite laughed heartily.

"My surname is Xiao, my name is Che, and I am the young master of Taoxia Pavilion. May I ask what your name is, young lady?"

Why would Jiang Yue reveal her name before the business deal was discussed and the other party's intentions became clear?

Jiang Yue said, "Let's talk about the soap first."

Xiao Che was puzzled: "Okay, I like straightforward people, you won't sell me for 10,000 taels of silver?"

Jiang Yue sold soap once every five days, earning six taels of silver each time. Not counting the cost, Jiang Yue would have to sell soap for at least twenty years to earn ten thousand taels of silver.

Jiang Yue nodded.

"How many taels does the girl plan to buy?"

Jiang Yue stretched out her right hand.

"Fifty thousand taels? Little girl, it's not good to have such a big appetite."

Xiao Che leaned back in his chair.

Jiang Yue curled her lips: "Mr. Xiao is wrong, I only take five thousand taels."

Xiao Che raised his eyes, his extremely beautiful eyes were full of confusion, and then he sneered: "Any other conditions?"

"I believe Master Xiao has already understood that this soap is not only cheaper than bath beans, but also more practical. As long as we increase the production, we can make a fortune every day. Since Taoxia Pavilion wants to buy the house for 10,000 taels, I will only take 5,000. Can the remaining 5,000 taels be used to invest in the soap shop?"

"Buy shares?"

Jiang Yue explained: "Five thousand taels is more than enough to build a large workshop. Taoxia Pavilion will provide the manpower and I will provide the money. How about I only take 20% of the profits from the soap?"

"Haha, what a smart girl. You want to use my money to invest and share the profits?"

Jiang Yue felt uneasy as Xiao Che squinted his eyes. She expected to get only 10% of the profit and give the other party a chance to bargain, but looking at Xiao Che with a gloomy face, she felt something was wrong. Could it be...

Dangerous.

Jiang Yue calmly grasped the dagger at her waist.

For a moment, the room was silent and the air was tense.

"Ye San, go ask the waiter to serve the food."

Xiao Che's order broke the silence.

He said slowly, "Young lady, Taoxia Pavilion has always been run by itself and has never cooperated with anyone. You keep talking about selling your property, but it sounds like you are sucking my blood. Can you tell me what are the benefits of cooperating with you?"

Jiang Yue's expression was stern: "Taoxia Pavilion is not sincere in wanting to buy the house, right? If I sell the recipe to you, aren't you worried that I will sell the secret recipe to others? At least you will place spies around me to monitor me? Or just... kill me to save trouble?"

"Crash."

Countless people rushed into the private room and surrounded Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue raised her eyes and sneered, "Is this how Young Master Xiao asks people to serve food?"

"Hurry up and get down! Who let you in?"

Ye San hesitated: "Sir, she——" He guessed it all.

"Go down."

"Yes."

A group of people retreated again.

Xiao Che pointed at the stubble on his chin and said, "Taoxia Pavilion does business in an honest way. I have no intention of killing you. I will only send someone to monitor you for three years. You can take the ten thousand taels without worry."

Jiang Yue: "Since we can't come to an agreement, forget it. I'll keep the recipe as a family heirloom, and we'll continue to supply the goods as before. I'm a small family, and I don't spend much money. Thirty taels of silver a month is enough for me to live on."

After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.

Shopkeeper He was a little anxious, "Hey, sister, don't rush to leave...at least you have eaten."

Turning his head to look at the main seat: "Young Master..."

Xiao Che was not in a hurry. There was still a long time to go. It would not be too late to find out the other party's background first and then talk.

But, this figure from behind seems familiar, as if he is also wearing a blue shirt on the street...

Xiao Che waved his hand and told Ye Si who was standing beside him, "Go and call Ah Liu."

Then he hurriedly called Jiang Yue: "Miss, have you ever saved a child on the street today?"

"It's just a little effort."

As expected, we can’t just let people go away casually anymore, we have to thank them.

Ye Si, who had gone out, came back quickly with a maid named "A Liu".

"Yes, my benefactor." A Liu was excited. I would like to thank the young master for saving his life on behalf of him.

Ah Liu pulled Jiang Yue back to the table. This is fate. Let's not talk about business for now.

Su Xiao expressed his gratitude and enthusiastically asked someone to serve the food.

It turns out that the Xiao family is a famous founding marquisate in the capital. Xiao Che's father is the Marquis of Yongning, and his mother is the only daughter of the wealthy Su family in Yuhang. Taoxia Pavilion was founded by his mother. Five years ago, the Marquis of Yongning asked to guard the country for the emperor. Both sons stayed in the capital, and he took his wife to Beidi County to serve as the county magistrate.

Xiao Che originally wanted to be in the military, but was forced by his mother to take over Taoxia Pavilion. He was a seventh-rank supervisor in the court, and he applied his battlefield skills to business, and the effect was surprisingly good. Taoxia Pavilion flourished in his hands, and branches were opened all over the country.

"Since you are my savior, the soap business will be handled in the way you proposed. Five thousand taels of silver for the purchase of the house, and five thousand taels for the shares. The profit of the soap will be 20% for you. Manager He, go and draft the agreement."

"Hey."

Jiang Yue: Happiness comes suddenly.

After the meal, the two happily signed the agreement.

Xiao Che lowered his head to look at the signature on the agreement. The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, not like that of a peasant girl.
