“I heard that Sister Chrysanthemum, who lives near the village entrance, is going to open a small shop at home. She specializes in selling daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. It will be convenient for us to buy things in the future. There was no need to go so far to the town. The lives of our people are getting better and better. After we divide the land, Xiangdong and I will plant the crops. We will not go hungry for sure.”
He Yulan couldn’t help but smile when she thought about the promising days ahead.
Su Xiu hesitated a bit. Sister Yulan seemed focused on farming, so she wondered if she would be unwilling to cooperate. “Yulan, I came to talk to you about something.”
“Go ahead, what is it?”
“My Big sister passed on the business of making steamed cakes to me. She said that from now on, apart from the money I give to the public fund, any additional earnings will be my personal income,” Su Xiu said softly. “But I can’t handle it all by myself, so I thought of partnering with you. What do you think?”
“Of course, let’s do it!” He Yulan’s eyes lit up. “This is a great opportunity. How can I not do such a good thing?”
“That’s great.”
“Tell me quickly, how can we become partners?” He Yulan asked cheerfully. “How much money do I need to contribute? Since you came up with the techniques and ideas, I don’t want to take advantage of you. Otherwise, you could just hire me, and I’ll work for you.”
“Hiring you won’t work. My Big sister mentioned that she still intends to buy fur coats from your Big brother. They have a business relationship, so it wouldn’t be suitable for me to employ you,” Su Xiu explained, waving her hands. “My Big sister wanted to give your Big brother some face and have him owe her a favor.”
Su Xiu was so anxious that she told He Yulan what Su Wen had whispered to her at home. As soon as she said it, she regretted it. She looked at He Yulan guiltily. “Yulan, are you upset?”
“Hehe…” He Yulan couldn’t hold back her laughter. “No, I’m not upset at all.” She was overjoyed. If her Big brother found out, he would be relieved.
This was a great opportunity to get close to Su Xiu. She would even give her fur for free.
“Speaking of which, I’m the one who took advantage of you. Don’t worry, I have a lot of furs at home. Many of them were collected by my grandfather when he was young. My grandfather, father, and brother are the best hunters in Black Eagle village. ”
He Yulan finished speaking with an expectant look on her face, waiting for Su Xiu’s admiration and praise. She thought, “Am I shocking her now? Is she in awe? Does she think my brother is incredibly impressive?”
Would she consider getting married?
No girl in Black Eagle village didn’t want to marry the best hunter.
Grandfather and father received many flowers from girls when they were young!
However, He Yulan waited for a long time, but Su Xiu didn’t say a word. Her expression seemed lost.
For Su Xiu, no matter how skilled He Yulan’s family was at hunting, they couldn’t compare to her Big sister’s abilities.
“Oh?” She was about to pass out.
This time, Big brother had met his match. Forget about marrying a wife, even if he wanted to live off her family, the other party might not be interested.
“I’ve thought of two partnership methods.” Su Xiu had been contemplating on her own for the past few days, considering which method would be best. It had to be profitable while maintaining their relationship. Her Big sister was right. Even close brothers still made sure to keep track of debts and obligations! If she was going to collaborate with He Yulan, they had to establish the terms in advance.
“One way is for us to pay the capital together, make the steamed cakes together, and sell them together. We will split the earnings evenly. The other method is for me to provide the raw materials, and once I’ve finished making the cakes, I will wholesale them to you. It’s like you’re purchasing from me at the most favorable price. You can then sell them however you like, and all the money you earn will be yours..”
