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

"Please sit down." Lin Yiqing pushed the tea to her and said, "Try it."

"No. I just need some water." When you're out and about, and alone in a room with a man, you always have to be careful.

Xu Siyu didn't even want to drink water, but she had to pretend.

"This tea is called Golden Leaf, a rather vulgar name. Originally called Willow Leaf Tea, its leaves resemble the delicate February willows. It was the annual tribute from Yunnan to the imperial court. Because one ounce of tea leaves was worth a ounce of gold, people later called it Golden Leaf."

Wow, so this cup of tea is worth two taels of silver?

Xu Siyu's heart was shamefully moved.

Although there are many good things in Pinduoduo, Xu Siyu's current living standard is not enough for her to buy these luxurious items.

"Mr. Lin asked me to come here just for tea, didn't he?"

"Yes and no." Lin Yiqing took a sip himself, squinted his eyes, and seemed intoxicated.

Xu Siyu thought about it, gently lifted the lid of the cup, smelled the tea, took a sip, closed her mouth and moved her tongue, it seemed to have a honey scent.

"Miss Xu, what kind of pastry do you think would be the best to pair with this tea?"

Well, this is business.

"The tea leaves are golden yellow and not bitter, but rather sweet. They pair well with light, not-too-sweet green bean cakes, almond pastries, red bean cakes, or sesame balls."

Thanks to the last time she sold the fortune-bringing pastries, Xu Siyu had memorized a lot of principles for pairing tea and snacks.

No matter whether it is right or not, say it first and then find a way to make it work.

"Does that girl have any secret recipe? Lin is willing to order it at a high price."

"I'll go back and try it out first, and then send a message to Master Lin after I'm done."

"Okay."

Lin Yiqing took another sip of tea and motioned Xu Siyu to taste the tea more.

Xu Siyu now drank it with confidence. If she hadn't heard that this tea cost one tael of gold per catty, Xu Siyu would have planned to order one or two taels of tea in the name of research.

Seeing that the man was much more relaxed than when he first entered, Lin Yiqing said, "Lin has something else to ask of you."

He took out a brocade bag from his side and opened it to show Xu Siyu what was inside.

Upon seeing this, Xu Siyu's face immediately turned bad.

Lin Yiqing noticed the change in Xu Siyu's expression. It seemed that he was about to reveal the girl's secret.

"Lin came across this rice by accident. I heard someone say it was used by a noble family in the county. But after much investigation, I found that the rice was originally used by Miss Xu's family for labor service. I asked Shopkeeper Yu to ask the third brother of the Xu family, and I heard that it was me... who lent it to Miss Xu?"

Oh my god, the truth has been revealed to the real person.

Lin Yiqing poured a handful of rice into his palm. "This rice is plump and translucent. I've tasted it. It's soft, sticky, and delicious. It's a premium quality you can't buy in the Heqing market. I'm afraid it's the tribute rice from the Dacheng Kingdom to the Li Dynasty?"

Lin Yiqing looked at Xu Siyu. He knew that this was not tribute rice, but he insisted on saying so.

Hiding tribute rice is a capital offense. Let's see if she is not afraid.

However, Lin Yiqing still didn't want her life.

"Miss Xu, why don't you explain where this rice came from? After all, I, Lin, covered up for you and admitted that it was a gift from Lin to the Xu family."

Where does it come from? What does the golden finger say? I bought 90 kilograms for 50 yuan on Pinduoduo?

Wherever you go, you will leave traces.

Xu Siyu has been very careful since coming into this world.

But since she used the golden finger, it would be discovered eventually.

"What do you want?" Bribery was the only option now. If that didn't work, Xu Siyu would go back and practice to see if she could be so cruel as to kill someone to silence them.

Lin Yiqing's eyes lit up when he looked at her. He didn't want her life, but he wanted to hold her vital point.

"Miss Xu's secret, the fewer people who know it, the better. My Zhou family owns six plots of land, each one hundred mu (approximately 10,000 mu) in size. It's not surprising that we can produce 10,000 jin (approximately 10,000 kg) of this premium rice every year, right?"

"Zhou family?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My mother's surname is Zhou. My maternal uncle's family is the largest jeweler in the southwest, and they also deal in grain. The Zhouji Grain and Oil Shop in the county is also managed by Lin."

……

Excessive! Are all rich people so excessive? Everything belongs to him.

There are four grain merchants in the county, and half of them belong to him.

Annoying!

"Eight hundred kilograms per month?" 800/50*90=1440, one ounce and five cents per month. After Xu Siyu did the mental calculation, she felt that the bribe was too expensive.

"I can't tell you where this rice came from. Since you say it's precious, you know I can't afford so much."

"Then... 600 kilograms?" Lin Yiqing felt that he could negotiate.

"one hundred."

"five hundred."

"one hundred."

……

It's time for another unpleasant negotiation.

In the end, the score was settled at two hundred, and both parties silently took a sip of tea to relieve their dry mouths.

"You... don't want to report me?" After calming down, Xu Siyu felt that Lin Yiqing was easy to talk to, so she just asked.

A little girl is a little girl. Lin Yiqing helped Xu Siyu fill up her tea cup and asked her with a smile, "Do you know how much I sell the Jujube and Walnut Lucky Crisps for?"

Oh, from the tone of his voice, it means it's a sky-high price. "Three hundred?"

"It comes in a box worth ten cents, wrapped with silk as decoration. One box can hold six pieces, and it sells for two taels." Lin Yiqing said with some pride. The price he gave Xu Siyu was not low, but he doubled it and made seventy or eighty taels in a month.

This business was considered a small business by the Lin and Zhou families, but it was the first business he had built with his own hands.

He stopped his father from saying that he was not cut out for business.

Xu Siyu is the hen that hatches golden eggs, no, the little golden pig. How could he be so stupid as to report her?

He should tie her up.

Xu Siyu was not satisfied with the money he made, and even said to him, "You should make another kind of wooden box, half for cakes and half for tea and wine."

The routine of holiday gift boxes has never been more popular in the 21st century.

The principle of AB goods is that A goods are the core and determine the price of the product. B goods are supplementary goods, just to make up the number, taking up half of the position, forcing people to buy such a set at a high price.

"You..." Lin Yiqing really wanted to praise Xu Siyu for her intelligence, but he felt that this girl was unruly and could not be praised. However, he admired her even more in his heart.

"I'll consider it after you hand over the mung bean cakes, almond pastries, red bean cakes, and sesame balls."

In Xu Siyu's eyes, Lin Yiqing always tricked him, but he had some integrity as a scholar and didn't seem like a bad person.

Especially with the rice incident, if he wanted her life, it was fine. He was threatening her while covering for her, which was actually good for her.

"We need to find another place to trade. Xinshan Village is not convenient."

"It's already been prepared. There's a courtyard at the end of town. I'll have someone put your name on it and send the deed to you in a couple of days. Also, if you need a car, have Manager Yu prepare it."

Xu Siyu stared at the generous Party A with a little doubt.

Lin Yiqing said nonchalantly, "This is your reward for providing rice for a year."

Xu Siyu: ? ?

If I had known there would be a reward, why would I have been so hesitant to bargain with him for so long?

Xu Siyu wanted to give him more in return, but for now, she decided to give up. Let's see what happens in the future.
