The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

The next afternoon, Ru Yue and others came to the Lou family. Mrs. Lou Er had been waiting at the gate early as instructed by her husband. Seeing them arrive as promised, she hurried to greet them warmly.

Ru Yue saw Madam Lou Er from a distance. She was in her early twenties, with a plump but not bloated figure, a face like a silver plate, a straight and fleshy nose, and her black hair was tied up in a high bun, fixed with two jade hairpins. Although her dress was simple, the two hairpins looked plump and translucent, with excellent water content. She looked wealthy and noble, but there was a kind and peaceful look between her brows.

Ru Yue also hurriedly took two steps forward, expressing her gratitude to the Second Madam for coming out to greet her in such hot weather.

"How can you be so spoiled? My second master often mentions you and praises you highly. The girls in the family love the smoothies you make very much. They were all delighted to hear that you were coming to our house today." Madam Lou Er was a talkative person, but she was not annoying. Instead, people felt that she was hospitable and warm.

Ru Yue was graceful and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, and she also won the favor of Mrs. Lou Er.

Chu Ning'an brought Anping to the outer courtyard to meet Mr. Lou Er, while Ru Yue brought Ruxue and followed Mrs. Lou Er to the backyard to meet the women of the Lou family.

The Lou family has a very upright family tradition. The women in the family did not treat Ru Yue badly just because she was a peasant girl. Instead, they all appreciated her food and even praised the chili sauce she had sold before. This invisibly made Ru Yue have a better impression of the Lou family.

After some greetings, Ru Yue was taken to the kitchen. Looking at all the ingredients, she began to instruct people to process them. She first asked someone to beat the eggs and separate the egg whites from the yolks. Looking at the several strong servants waiting outside, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, thinking about letting them beat the egg whites in a while.

The Lou family’s kitchen is fully equipped, even a small oven is ready, which gives Ru Yue a lot of room to show her talents.

After more than an hour, Ru Yue baked two chiffon cakes, made smoothies, ice cream and fruit milk. Considering the winter diet, she also made a few cups of hot milk tea. Ru Yue divided these things into two portions, one was taken to the outer courtyard for the men of the Lou family to taste, and the other was taken to the courtyard of Old Lady Lou for the ladies and girls in the family to try.

After tasting it, everyone in the Lou family praised it highly, which also made Mr. Lou Erye determined to cooperate with Ru Yue.

After everyone left, Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an were invited to the study by Mr. Lou Erye.

"Are you satisfied, sir?"

"Very satisfied." Mr. Lou Er didn't hide his attitude and said frankly, "I tried the food today, it's really excellent. Opening a shop will definitely make a lot of money. I personally have no objection to cooperating with you to open a new shop, but how will the profits be divided?"

"Excuse my words, sir, but could the Lou family protect this business?"

"My father holds the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the second rank, and my brother holds the position of Fourth rank. Many of my nephews and nieces have also been appointed officials in other places. Unless the royal family seizes it, protecting such a business should not be a problem."

"Sir, you're absolutely right. Ru Yue apologized for being rude." She smiled and apologized, then got straight to the point. "Since that's the case, I'll be frank. I'll provide the prescription and the technology, and you'll provide the money and management."

“How to divide it?”

"Fifty-fifty, we each take fifty percent."

"What a clever little girl! She didn't spend a penny but got 50% of the profit. Isn't that too much?"

"Sir, although I haven't contributed any money, my recipes and techniques are money in themselves. If I wanted, I could save up money and slowly open one restaurant after another. But no matter how much wealth you have, without the techniques and recipes, you can't make money. What do you think?"

"What you said makes sense, but have you ever thought that without the Lou family as your backing, you might not be able to keep your business going?"

"Indeed, I have no backing, so it's difficult for me to expand. But even if I rely on buying houses, I can still make a profit. Besides, it's not like I don't have a backing. I think the master has investigated me before. I know that if I really get into a desperate situation, the current Grand Tutor Qin Zhengqing may not be unwilling to help me."

"Hahaha, the little girl is indeed a genius in business. Okay, I'll do as you say."

"Sir, do you have a good name for the new store?"

"No, little girl, if you have any, just tell me."

"Mingyue Little Tower, what do you think, sir?"

"Mingyue Little Building, Mingyue Little Building, good, good, let's call it Mingyue Little Building. Hahaha..." Mr. Lou praised excitedly, "It seems that you have thought all this through carefully. What a smart little girl."

Mr. Lou Erye asked someone to draft a contract according to the agreed cooperation terms.

"I did think about it for a long time, but I never thought that the master would be so righteous as to trust a little girl like me."

"There's never a shortage of people with great ambitions but little talent in this world. I believe I have some perspective on people. This little girl is hardworking and diligent, and she's also smart and intelligent. Her future is limitless."

After the cooperation was agreed upon and the contract was signed, Ru Yue was very happy. The business empire she envisioned finally had a brick.
