Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 129 Talking about New Business

Seeing that the shop was using up ice quickly, Xiao Wan found Duan Hongyi and asked him straight away where the saltpeter came from.

Duan Hongyi was briefly surprised, and then said that there was a place in his villa near the capital that produced saltpeter.

It turns out that this is Duan Hongyi’s own home. Xiao Wan blushed with excitement.

Duan Hongyi looked at her rosy face and wanted to pinch it, but after turning his head and looking around, he restrained himself.

Runwei, who was following behind, had a dark look in his eyes and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiao Wan looked at the people around Duan Hongyi, moved closer to Duan Hongyi, and spoke softly in his ear.

Duan Hongyi was startled at first, then delighted, his face even turning a little red. He was secretly glad that Wan'er was so kind to him.

Xiao Wan asked Duan Hongyi if he could ask his men to leave first, as she had something to discuss with him.

Duan Hongyi nodded, restraining the joy in his heart, coughed with the back of his hand against his mouth, and told everyone to go back without caring about the presence of some spies.

Runwei also felt disappointed, and Xiao Wan couldn't bear to see the beautiful woman so disappointed.

After everyone had left, Duan Hongyi hurriedly asked Xiao Wan what was going on.

Xiao Wan thought for a moment, then looked at Duan Hongyi seriously and asked, "Boss Duan, I have a business deal to discuss with you."

"Oh, okay, go ahead." Duan Hongyi felt a little disappointed. It turned out that Wan'er was talking about business.

But it’s also good, this way I will have more opportunities to interact with Xiao Wan openly.

Xiao Wan told Duan Hongyi that saltpeter could be used to make ice, and suggested that they could work together. She would provide the recipe and Duan Hongyi would provide the raw materials. They could make a lot of money just by selling ice in the summer, and 20% would be enough for her.

After all, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a lot of ice.

Even if the recipe is leaked later, they can still take the initiative and make some money first.

Duan Hongyi stroked his forehead. This girl was even more obsessed with money than himself. She was very knowledgeable when talking about making money, and her eyes were shining.

Duan Hongyi wanted to laugh when he saw this. Wan'er was so cute. Where did she get the method of making ice? Even his own family couldn't get the recipe for making ice.

But asking too many questions is useless, it is better to make money.

However, the method she mentioned is feasible, but she has to use her own manpower to arrange it, and the money must be in her own hands.

Thinking of this, Duan Hongyi nodded and said, "Okay, but we'll split it 50-50."

Xiao Wan was so shocked that she almost jumped up: "No, I can't take advantage of you. Besides, this recipe is very simple. I guess everyone will know it in a few years."

Xiao Wan was not greedy. After all, the recipe was very simple. But without Duan Hongyi's saltpeter mine, she could not make it at all, let alone make money.

Besides, selling ice is not that easy. Duan Hongyi's family must have a background, otherwise he would not have agreed so easily.

So Xiao Wan felt that it would be a great achievement if she could achieve this.

"Thirty percent!" Duan Hongyi said without question, and Xiao Wan had no choice but to agree.

He called over Manager Liu, and the three of them went to the inner hall and told Manager Liu what had happened. Manager Liu stared at Xiao Wan in surprise, which made Xiao Wan feel embarrassed.

He withdrew his gaze, and then was surprised. If this was done, the boss would have his own treasury and would not have to worry anymore.

But wouldn’t 30% be too much? He looked at Duan Hongyi hesitantly.

Duan Hongyi gave him a cold look. Shopkeeper Liu was so frightened that he quickly wrote down the contract. Xiao Wan also wrote down a prescription and handed it to Duan Hongyi.

Duan Hongyi took it and looked at it, then looked at Xiao Wan in surprise. It was so simple?

Xiao Wan smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, it's that simple, so it's enough if I insist on getting 10%.

Duan Hongyi smiled, looked at the prescription again, then tore it into pieces and threw it into the spittoon, then poured tea on it.

Xiao Wan took the contract without looking at it too much, and looked as if she believed Duan Hongyi, which made Duan Hongyi feel even warmer.

It’s not that Xiao Wan is too open-minded, but since Duan Hongyi is a big boss, he definitely wouldn’t bother to lie to her.

Even if she was cheated, she could do nothing about it. After all, she couldn't do anything because she was just a farmer and had no way to seek justice after being cheated.

Zhao Wenqing is only the county magistrate and may not be able to help her.

Besides, I have been working with Duan Hongyi for so long, and I trust him very much. I treat him as a friend in my heart.

Duan Hongyi didn't know all this. The thoughts of ancient people were different from those of modern people. He thought that Xiao Wan also had feelings for him, otherwise why would she trust him so much and throw the prescription to him.

But there is also Zhao Mingyuan. I heard that he went on a long journey. This journey must be no simple one.

According to the news from the capital, the emperor wants to recall the father and son of the Zhao family to go to the border to fight. The war in the northwest is tense, and the Zhao family may have to rise again.

What about Wan'er then?

I'm afraid the Zhao family may not be interested in Xiao Wan, and then I will have a chance.

The nobleman also promised that as long as he helped him, he would grant him a title after the matter was accomplished, and then he would be able to get rid of his current Yue family.

Duan Hongyi sent Xiao Wan away and sat leisurely on the chair, squinting his eyes and thinking about things.

Seeing this, Manager Liu did not dare to disturb his master and quietly retreated.

Standing in the front yard and seeing his daughter lost in thought, he couldn't help but sigh.

He could see that the boss had fallen in love with Miss Xiao, and was very serious about it, but his daughter's heart was also with the boss.

Alas, it’s all a sin!
