Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

On the second day, Xu Siyu took apart Xu Wangshi's quilt and removed the quilt filling, which was old cotton with black lumps and some reed fluff.

Yes, nowadays a pound of cotton costs sixty cents, and a quilt contains three or four pounds of cotton. Given Xu Wang's temperament, she would definitely not be willing to replace it after two or three years, and would probably use it for many years.

Xu Siyu took out all the old cotton wool and put it in a bamboo basket without throwing it away.

It is estimated that apart from her bedding, the bedding of other people in the family is not as good as Xu Wangshi's. These are put aside and anyone who wants to use them can take them. Maybe they will be used as her mattress first.

The removed quilt cover was also very old. After Xu Siyu washed it, she still felt that it could not hold down the down, so she had to secretly buy a beige down quilt cover on Pinxixi and use it first.

Even if Xu Wangshi found out, she would just laugh it off. Anyway, she knew Xu Wangshi's pulse well and would not get to the bottom of it.

The more cheating tools Xu Siyu uses, the more efficient she becomes.

The quilt cover was not dried yet, but the quilt lining was completely ready.

Just as Xu Siyu was about to take a break, she heard her third brother knocking on the door, saying that someone was looking for her.

Among the third brother's family, only the third sister-in-law took a day off from work and stayed at home to follow the progress of the house repairs. Logically, it was not yet noon, and the third brother should be busy in Xiangmanlou and should not have gone home.

Xu Siyu packed up, locked all the shameful secrets in her treasure chest, changed the direction of the warm quilt, and left the house.

"Little sister, this is the young master of the Dong family and this is the shopkeeper Yu. They are here to discuss pastry cooperation with you."

Xu Siyu looked at his brother, hoping to get some useful information, but it seemed that his brother was also quite confused and was just responsible for leading the way.

The Lin family, the owner of Xiangmanlou, is the richest family in Changjia County. When doing business in the county, others have to beg them for favors. If they are not equally powerful business partners, there will never be a scene where the owner and the shopkeeper visit at the same time.

She only sells small cakes. Is there really unlimited business opportunities?

After the greetings, Shopkeeper Yu introduced his young master again.

"Second Miss Xu, this is the second young master of Xiangmanlou, Young Master Yiqing." Shopkeeper Yu pointed respectfully with his side hand to the young man in a silk robe beside him.

Xu Siyu looked at the tall figure like a poplar.

He is such a handsome young man, with delicate facial features, a pair of slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, and sword-like eyebrows that are neither thick nor thin, which makes people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze at first sight.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your kindness." Xu Siyu bowed again to express her politeness.

This was the second time Lin Yiqing met this interesting young lady.

The first time was before the New Year in the Zhou family grain store. He was on the second floor and saw a young lady who was neither humble nor arrogant, negotiating a "business" with the most experienced manager of the Zhou family.

Old Zhou was also dazzled by the girl's youthful vigor for a while. After she left, he came to his senses and laughed at himself, thinking that he was not suitable for doing business.

However, this self-mockery turned into Lao Zhou's self-praise for his "eagle eyes and golden vision" after he saw the lucky jujube and walnut cakes sent by Yunyang Town.

The one hundred coins that Manager Yu brought were not enough for the Lin family to eat, and in the end only a few were left.

This situation was rare at the Lin family's grand banquets. After all, the Lin family owned over twenty Xiang Man Lou restaurants, and every year, when they received new and exotic food, everyone would just taste it. It was rare for everyone, young and old, to like it.

"Miss Xu, thank you for your courtesy." Lin Yiqing returned the greeting first, then waited for Xu Huaize to ask them to sit down again before getting down to business.

"You want to buy some lucky jujube and walnut cakes?"

"Yes." Lin Yiqing said frankly, "To be honest, Miss Xu, my chef has studied your recipe and the taste will be around 70% to 80% of yours."

"Oh?"

"But since there are only ten points of skill in this world, my Xiangmanlou is unwilling to make only seven or eight points." This is why their Lin family never competes with Yuehualou for white jade jelly.

"so?"

"If Miss Xu Er is willing to sell the recipe to the Lin family, we can offer this amount." Lin Yiqing spread out his palm, with his five fingers clearly visible.

Xu Huaize was listening at the side and his heart was in turmoil. Even if their whole family worked hard in Xiangmanlou for five years, they could only earn this amount of money.

Damn, a recipe?

"What if I don't want to sell it?" Xu Siyu didn't mean to make trouble, but if she took out the recipe and couldn't explain the ingredients, wouldn't that expose her.

"Then let's talk about it. What do you think about Xiangmanlou ordering it from Miss Xu?" Lin Yiqing thought of Xu Siyu as a master with good skills. He was a good person and had the recipe.

"Sure." Xu Siyu could handle the resale. "What's your price?"

Lin Yiqing: ...

Lin Yiqing originally wanted to wait for Xu Siyu to name a price before he lowered it, but who knew that this country girl was so calm. Look at the brothers next to her, they are not as calm as her.

"I previously paid 20 taels for 100 mooncakes from Shopkeeper Yu, which works out to 200 coins each. This price is higher than the most expensive mooncakes in the city right now. Miss Xu, we're in business. Although the profit may seem high, after deducting the cost, we still have to pay 20% profit tax to the government. How about I, Lin, offer 50 coins each? By the time you've sold 1,000 mooncakes, you'll have made more than 50 taels."

"Mr. Lin, do you think my shortbread is made out of thin air without any ingredients?"

"Lin's provided the materials, is that okay?"

"Are you trying to find a way to get my prescription?" Xu Siyu's impression of this handsome guy was greatly reduced, and she began to treat him with a fake smile.

As expected, there is no business without fraud.

"But, to be honest, your Lin family grain and oil shop doesn't have the materials I want." Xu Siyu's words were equivalent to a refusal.

The scene was awkward for a while, and then Shopkeeper Yu spoke up to try to save the situation.

"Second Miss Xu, how about you name a price? Our boss isn't just planning to sell them. The Lin family is wealthy and well-connected, and they have to pay a lot of gifts every month. With the upcoming Flower Festival and Shangsi Festival... as long as you modify your mold, it shouldn't be difficult to produce two or three hundred pastries a month."

Manager Yu meant that Xu Siyu should sell at a low price but in large quantities, but since Lin Yiqing has already compared it with the most expensive mooncake in the city, it is probably comparable.

"One hundred and fifty cents." Xu Siyu bid, which was twice as high as Lin Yiqing's bid.

Lin Yiqing smiled at her lion's big mouth.

He shook his robe, crossed his legs, and his attitude changed from being initially amiable to arrogant. He offered, "One hundred coins."

Xu Huaize was a man with good judgment. As soon as he saw the boss's attitude, he immediately looked at Xu Siyu anxiously.

To be honest, he wanted to agree.

But he also knew that he had no way to influence Xu Siyu's thoughts.

If he agreed and Xu Siyu didn't do it, then all the pressure would fall on him. Even if he had to pay money, his mother would probably sell him to Xiangmanlou rather than help him.

"One hundred and sixty cents." Xu Siyu bargained again, scaring Xu Huaize so much that he fell off the stool.
