“Hmm… I want the fields to grow crops, at least a medium quality field.” Qiao Xiaomai voiced her thoughts, which she had considered well in advance.
“Medium quality field.” Shen Bai looked at Shopkeeper Zhou.
Shopkeeper Zhou quickly responded, “We have a hundred acres of top-quality fields under the name of Zuixian Building, but these fields are all occupied, producing the grains and vegetables we use daily.”
Shopkeeper He also said, “Same goes for us at Jiwei Residence.”
Shen Bai turned to Qiao Xiaomai, “Miss Qiao, how much land do you expect to trade in return?”
“Three hundred acres of medium-quality fields.”
In Bailu Town, the price of low-quality land is three taels per acre, medium-quality land six taels per acre, and high-quality land ten taels per acre. Qiao Xiaomai was half selling, half giving away the recipe, and she estimated each business to provide one thousand taels. So, divide one thousand by six and then multiply by two, she rounded it to a whole number, three hundred acres.
When she voiced this number, Shopkeeper He, Shen Bai, and Shopkeeper Zhou swiftly calculated the conversion in their minds. According to the price of tofu and bean curd, a thousand taels was indeed a favorable deal.
They could recoup this thousand taels within a month from their tofu and bean curd business in the vast Daqi region.
After thinking, Shen Bai looked at Shopkeeper Zhou and asked with a smile, “Shopkeeper He, what do you think?”
“In response to the young master, 1 need to discuss this with the business owner. I can’t make the decision alone,” Shopkeeper He respectfully replied. “Then, 1’11 give these one hundred and fifty acres to Miss Qiao first. If your boss cannot afford it, feel free to seek me.”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper He chuckled dryly but said nothing.
Shen Bai laughed again and turned to Qiao Xiaomai, “Miss Qiao, I will have someone prepare it immediately. Everything can be settled by the afternoon. You can tour around the town and come to Zuixian Building to find me in the afternoon.”
“Sure.” Qiao Xiaomai nodded, her impression of Shen Bai improving a bit more.
No nonsense, generous, and decisive in handling affairs.
Seriously, an excellent business partner.
“Then, Master Shen, you can have someone soak some soybeans in clean water. I’ll teach you the recipe at Zuixian Building this afternoon.”
Shen Bai agreed cheerfully. He too appreciated Qiao Xiaomai’s decisiveness.
Seeing the two had reached an agreement, Shopkeeper He looked at Qiao Xiaomai and chuckled, “Miss Qiao, you’d have to wait a few more days for our side.”
“No problem, I’m not in a hurry.” Qiao Xiaomai responded with a faint smile.
As for farming, she was not worried at all.
After settling the main issue, Shen Bai and Shopkeeper Zhou left. Qiao Xiaomai left Jiwei Residence with Qiao Dami and Qiao Changshun, planning to wander around the town and buy some things.
Sitting on the donkey cart, Qiao Changshun wiped his sweaty hands on his body. He and Qiao Dami had been sitting nervously to the side, hardly daring to breathe, while Qiao Xiaomai was cheerfully chatting with the wealthy businessmen. He was completely soaked with sweat from his brief sit.
Such a big deal, involving hundreds of acres of land, Qiao Xiaomai had settled it in no time.
Such courage and daring, even if he lived another thirty years, he might not have it.
His daughter had changed so much.
“Xiaomai, our family really relies on you.” He sighed.
Qiao Xiaomai smiled, “It’s natural.”
“Sister is amazing!” Qiao Dami nodded his little head, fully agreeing with Qiao Changshun’s words.
Qiao Changshun wiped his body again, waiting for the sweat to dry up in his palms before picking up the whip.
His mind was still a little dazed. Those amounts of silver and the farmland were circling in his mind, numbers he had never dreamed of before.
Seeing him in a daze, Qiao Xiaomai said, “Let’s go buy the soybeans first.”
“Sister, didn’t you sell the recipe?” Qiao Dami asked curiously..
