After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Wushan pepper is very famous in Minzhou and is deeply loved by the local people. However, to Mrs. Shang's surprise, this is also Lin Ting's industry.

"Mrs. Lin is truly a hidden talent. So why did you come to see me?"

Mrs. Shang wondered if this was what she had imagined. Lin Ting came in person to discuss cooperation with her on Wushan peppers?

"Mrs. Shang, this box contains samples of Wushan peppers. You can try them first.

If you also think Wushan peppers are good, then you are the only one in the capital who has them. You can make more money from this than from reselling tea."

Mrs. Shang already had the intention, and now the owner of Wushan Chili came to talk to her in person. What's the difference between this and giving her money at her door?

"Okay, Madam Lin, please allow me two days to think about it. I will definitely give you a reply after two days."

The things were delivered. Lin Ting drank the tea that Mrs. Shang had prepared and brought to him, then stood up to say goodbye.

"Madam Shang, please make a decision as soon as possible. I have given this sample to other people. In business, time and opportunity wait for no one."

Lin Ting's psychological tactics have long been unique. When Mrs. Shang heard her say this, her eyes turned and she immediately changed her words.

"Look at what you said, Madam Lin. How about this? Since we have some free time today, let's just talk about this matter directly. What do you think, Madam Lin?"

Mrs. Shang originally wanted to delay the time so that the purchase price could be lowered when Lin Ting came to see her next time.

These are their usual business tactics, but as soon as she started her plan, she was immediately outmaneuvered by Lin Ting.

Lin Ting understood everything. Mrs. Shang was afraid that this opportunity would be snatched away by someone else, so she pulled Lin Ting to sit down and discuss the matter.

"Mrs. Shang, you haven't tasted the sample I brought you yet. Are you sure you want to cooperate with me in selling chili peppers?"

Mrs. Shang used a smile to cover up her feelings: "In fact, I have eaten this Wushan chili oil in other places. It is very delicious. I think the others will not be much worse.

I also heard that the Emperor has granted you, Madam Lin, three farms. Are you planning to use them to grow peppers this year?"

What Lin Ting grows is very important to Mrs. Shang. If she grows only peppers, it will have a certain impact on her business during the pepper production period.

“In the farm in the capital, we’ll plant corn first this year, but Madam Shang doesn’t have to worry about fresh chili peppers taking away the Wushan chili pepper business.

Although they are both peppers, Wushan peppers are processed and taste better, while fresh peppers are used for stir-frying. The two have different flavors, and naturally different people like them.

Madam Shang can see this from the people in Minzhou. When fresh peppers are available, the sales of Wushan peppers are also very good."

Mrs. Shang manages a large family. The profits or losses of hundreds of people depend on her. Every decision she makes must be carefully calculated.

And she did see that Wushan peppers sold very well in Minzhou, even during the season for fresh peppers.

"Wushan peppers are grown in Wushan Village. If we transport them to Beijing to sell them, it would cost a lot of money, both in terms of manpower and horses, to get them there.

Besides, I heard that Wushan peppers have a specially customized price. If the price is found to be too high in the market, Wushan peppers will terminate the cooperation. Madam Lin, what do you think of this situation? "

The distance is too far and transportation is inconvenient, so the price will be adjusted appropriately.

“The purchase price of Wushan chili oil remains unchanged, but Madam Shang can add ten coins to each bottle when it is shipped to the capital. This is my biggest concession.

If you increase the number, the audience for your product will decrease, and if sales are poor, there will be no point in doing this.”

People in the capital are wealthier than in other places, and the price changes are a win-win situation for Lin Ting and Mrs. Shang.

The purchase price of Wushan chili oil is 25 wen, so...

Mrs. Shang took out an abacus the size of a palm from her waist pouch and moved the beads on it.

After calculating the manpower, time, and purchase price, she finally arrived in the capital. For every bottle of Wushan chili oil she sold, she made a net profit of fifteen cents.

The capital has a large population, and if she is the only one who has Wushan peppers, then the profit from the tens of thousands of bottles of Wushan chili oil would be a lot of money.

The more Mrs. Shang calculated, the more the smile on her face grew.

"In that case, Madam Lin, if you agree to let me alone sell this Wushan pepper in the capital, we can sign the contract now."

With Madam Shang around, Wushan chili peppers would definitely not just go to the capital. If she made money, it would be equivalent to Wushan Village and Lin Ting making money together.

"Okay, then we'll sign it now. Madam Shang can take this contract to Wushan Village tomorrow. The people of Wushan Village will make sure to prepare the goods for you first."

Last year, everyone made money from growing peppers. This year, we will only plant more peppers, and other villages around will also follow suit. Wushan peppers will only get better and better.

......

After arranging the business matters, Lin Ting also asked someone to look for a house. It would be best if it was a place that had been used for garment manufacturing before. If it could be transferred, it would speed up their plan to open a factory.

But she was not free today, because Shen Qingzhou's examination was over today, so she brought Xiaoman and Bailu to pick him up.

The entrance to the examination hall was packed with people, three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside. There was no place for the carriage to park. There were even more people than when she went to pick up Shen Qingzhou for the provincial examination.

Everyone was looking forward to it, and Sun Yinyin was the same. She brought her family servants with her to wait for her elder brother.

As long as her elder brother passed the imperial examination, he would become a disciple of the emperor, and after the palace examination a month later, he would be able to become an official in the court.

By then, the mother will be honored because of her son, and his father will help her mother become the legal wife. She will be the legitimate daughter of the Sun family, and no one will look down on her anymore.

Sun Yinyin was thinking this when she turned around and saw Lin Ting. She had found out last time that this woman was just a merchant.

How dare they bully her together with Han Yian? Han Yian is not here today. When her elder brother comes out, she will complain to her brother. No one who bullies her will have a good life.

Soon people started coming out of the examination room. Bai Lu also saw Shen Qingzhou and pointed at the entrance of the examination room.

"Madam, it's the master. The master has come out."

Lin Ting also saw it, but this time she did not rush forward. Instead, she stood where she was, quietly waiting for Shen Qingzhou to come towards her.

After leaving the examination room, Shen Qingzhou's smile was obviously relaxed: "My wife!"

"How's it going? Are you cold after being in there for so many days?"

The temperature difference between morning and evening at the end of February was huge. Even though Lin Ting had made all the necessary preparations for Shen Qingzhou, he was still worried about him.

"I have the knee pads and cotton clothes that my wife prepared for me. I'm fine. But did a lot of things happen at home during the few days I was away?"

Shen Qingzhou could see the fatigue in Lin Ting's eyes. The examination was over.

Shen Qingzhou thought, if nothing unexpected happened, Lin Ting must have gone to the palace to express her gratitude during the days when he was taking the exam. He wondered if her entry into the palace went smoothly.

"A lot of things happened. I'll explain it to you in detail when we get home. Let's go back."
