Chapter 500: Chapter 499: The Picker is the Buyer_1

Another of the manors was located in the mountains, and had just finished building about ten stone kilns, responsible for producing Silver Frost Charcoal.

After making some calculations, Su Pan’er estimated that at the rate the Silver Frost Charcoal was being produced, she would be able to make back the capital she used to purchase the three manors by the end of this winter.

Then, there were vast mulberry trees in the last manor.

The previous owner of the manor operated a streamlined industry: mulberry picking, silkworm rearing, cocoon boiling, silk reeling and yarn spinning.

With her investigation, she found that due to the local climate, the cultivation of mulberry trees was straightforward and promising. It wasn’t difficult to rear silkworms, and the silk output was also high. Unluckily, the process of weaving and further processing was problematic, leading to the inability to sell the final silk product and resulting in a low price sale of the manor.

Capitalize on strengths and bypass weaknesses!

If the raw silk was of good quality, it would be better to trade raw silk. She bought up all the mountains nearby the manor, and ordered mulberry trees to be planted everywhere. In the future, she would pick mulberries, raise silkworms, boil cocoons and reel silk, thereafter, she would directly sell raw silk. Though it seemed like she would make less profit, it would cut down many processing steps, saving manpower and materials.

Why not do it?

However, all these would need to be done gradually, she was not in a rush.

These manors were primarily used to store the newly purchased millet and grain.

The next day, Lui Muyi’s ship arrived at Changze County.

He was here in person, and Su Huarong came with him, bringing along a shipload of grain.

"The Changze Waterway is not navigable for large ships, so I hired porters to deliver it, saving you the trouble of arranging manpower and time for round trips..."

Lui Muyi rambled on and on, frequently casting glances towards Su Pan’er’s belly, which had already begun to protrude like a blown-up balloon.

He exclaimed with extra amazement, "Last time I heard about your miscarriage, I was very worried. But now, seeing that you are in good health, I have put my mind at ease. If there’s anything you need, remember to tell me!"

Su Pan’er gently stroked her belly, which was shaped like a small ball now, and smiled!

"Rest assured, Big Brother Lui, If there’s anything I need your help with, I won’t hesitate to ask you!"

Only then did Lui Muyi nod in satisfaction.

"That’s good. The reason I rushed to Changze this time was not only to check on your recent situation but also to look at the sales situation of Bamboo Leaf Green Wine in Changze."

Upon bringing up this topic, a smile spread across his eyebrows and eyes, "Initially, when I went to Hangzhou, I thought it was not worth going there with an empty ship, so I took a boatload of Bamboo Leaf Green Wine along. At that time, this almost caused a falling out with the old Clan Leader of the Qin family. But thankfully I managed to sell all the wine, and even made a small profit. This time when I’m heading up north again, the old Clan Leader of the Qin family wanted me to take some more with me, but I don’t have any extra ships for the wine now!"

Su Pan’er had heard a bit about this matter, but she was too caught up in her own affairs to ask about it then.

Now that she heard Lui Muyi mention it, she couldn’t help but laugh.

"So, have you shipped all the Silver Frost Charcoal? Was it dampened on the journey? Was the damage big?"

"I’ve seen both the shipping and receiving situations, the loss was very small, even smaller than the loss caused by hiring porters. The cost is also so low. Pan’er, you really have a knack for it!"

He couldn’t help raising his thumb to praise her.

Su Pan’er was sweating buckets!

The suggestions of irrigation systems in her previous life were numerous, she only used the geographical features to come up with this method, she truly couldn’t bear this kind of praise!

She was about to speak when she noticed a shadow moving outside. Glancing over, she found it looked familiar.

Taking a closer look, it seemed to be... Su Xian’er?

Not only had she become darker and skinnier, she seemed to have grown taller too, and was dressed in men’s clothes. She was peeking in through the curtain from the other side.

Through the curtain, their gazes met. Su Xian’er did not shy away from her gaze, but stared steadily back at her without blinking.

Noticing that Su Pan’er was watching the door, Lui Muyi couldn’t help but turn back to look.

"Oh, it’s Su Xian’er."

He explained, "At first, I thought she was a delicate young lady. I realized later on that she was a capable girl. She just has a bad temper, on par with yours."

A hint of surprise flashed in Su Pan’er’s eyes.

Lui Muyi rarely praised or criticized others.

To make him break this norm, this Su Xian’er must be quite something.

As these words were uttered, a gentle smile appeared on Su Pan’er’s face, mixed with some deeper meaning.

"Didn’t she cause you any trouble? If she did something wrong, I hope Big Brother Lui will be lenient. Don’t be hard on a girl."

"Her? A girl? She has a foul temper, nasty attitude, picky eater, and seasick... Most importantly, she’s stubborn as a cooked duck. Refuses to say even a word of kindness..."

As soon as her name was mentioned, knowing she was just outside, Lui Muyi ripped into her with a litany of complaints.

Su Xian’er, who was outside the door, had her eyebrows raised in anger!

Tearing open the curtains and barging in, she pointed at Lui Muyi and scolded, "You’re accusing me of having a foul temper, nasty attitude, being a picky eater, and seasickness, but what about you? How much better are you? And you dare to badmouth me in front of others, do you have no shame?"

"I’m a dignified man, qualified to care about face. You, without a skin, even if you wanted a face, you couldn’t have it!"

Lui Muyi, nonchalantly, with a smirk on his face, intentionally teased her further.

Instantly, Su Xian’er was fuming mad!

Her little mouth was blabbering non-stop at Lui Muyi.

Lui Muyi wasn’t going to let it go either, promptly retorting back.

The two going back and forth, arguing as if no one else was around.

Su Pan’er’s lips twitched at the sight.

Just looking at the way the pair acted, didn’t it remind her of the saying, testing the goods is a buyer’s right?

Overhearing the bickering while quietly discussing something with Qin Yi, Su Huarong let out a chuckle, and then whispered to Su Pan’er, "Whenever these two are together, things get like this. It’s as though they’re enemies from a past life. I used to mediate between them in the early days. Now everyone’s used to them. They’ll be fine eventually."

Oh, now, this is interesting!

A subtle yet intriguing smile appeared in Su Pan’er’s eyes.

That night, Su Pan’er prepared a small welcome dinner for them. Qin Hua and Su Hao were also present.

At the moment, Su Hao and Qin Hua were each managing a shop for Su Pan’er. Compared to before, they seemed quite different; their speech and actions revealed a new kind of spirit, and they seemed extremely confident.

Seeing Su Xian’er, Su Huarong, and Lui Muyi, they were a bit surprised.

The Su family immediately began asking Su Xian’er about the family back at home. Qin Yi was chatting casually with Lui Muyi and Su Huarong, occasionally mentioning their home and their journey north.

Everyone was enjoying the harmonious atmosphere!

Whether it was because their environment had changed or for some other reason, they all seemed extraordinarily close and felt quite emotional.

Even Su Xian’er took the initiative to speak with Su Pan’er.

"Last time, when I went with big cousin brother to Yongzhou Prefecture, we found out that it was the Prefect who invited that Lui guy ashore. Then big cousin brother went to meet Lui, and I saw my first cousin sister."

Having said this, she looked at Su Pan’er, gauging her reaction.

Su Pan’er was naturally aware of this.

Knowing she had offended Prefect Jiang, she had suspected he wouldn’t let it go. But she hadn’t expected him to use the grain sales as a ploy against her.

When Lui Muyi wrote to her, he had initially wanted her to mediate.

Instead, she sent big cousin brother to handle it. Surely, this must have warped Su Ping’er’s face, right?
