Kang Shi took a piece of skewer and put it in his mouth. She chewed it for a while, and then she didn’t bother to talk to Chen Shi and just took something else to eat.

After eating three or four skewers in one go, he finally spoke, “Where did these delicious skewers come from? Did you get a new cook at home, or did you open a new food store?”

“Neither, it was made by Miss Su herself. It’s called cold pot skewers.” Chen Shi smiled and explained to Kang Shi about Su Yujin’s origins and the cold pot skewers they had today.

“I see.” Kang Shi nodded repeatedly, “This Miss Su’s cooking skills are so good, and the cold pot skewers are indeed delicious.”

“Yes.” Chen Shi also nodded repeatedly.

She even looked forward to what kind of delicious and unique food Su Yujin would cook for her the next time she visited her.

“Hey, let’s discuss something serious.”

“Yímǔhū, why are you so serious all of a sudden?” Seeing Kang Shi’s serious expression, Chen Shi sat up straight involuntarily, “I wonder what you want to discuss?”

“It’s about making money.” Kang Shi’s face was full of smiles. “Didn’t I say a while ago that I wanted to open a new shop in Hedong, but I didn’t know what to sell? Now I know what to sell.”

“What are you selling?”

“Chuanchuanxiang!”

Some of the tea in Chen Shi’s cup spilled out, almost scalding her hand. “Yímǔhū, what do you mean…”

“This skewered hotpot tastes so good. If we could open a shop specializing in selling it, it would definitely be full of customers, and we’d be making money hand over fist. Then, when we open a few branches in nearby prefectures and counties, if the business thrives everywhere, we could just stay at home counting money. This is truly a solid business opportunity.”

Kang Shi said, “Why don’t you ask Miss Su if she is willing to cooperate in this business? If she is willing, she doesn’t have to do anything. I will pay the money and manage the shop. She only needs to provide the recipe, and we will split the profits by 70% and 30%. How do you think?”

Chen Shi: “…”

Stop it!

“My yímǔhū is well versed in the art of business, and she is also passionate about doing business. She has a very good eye. Any business that my aunt likes will make money. Since my yímǔhū is optimistic about this, I think it will definitely make a lot of money.”

Chen Shi was quite hesitant. “It’s just that Miss Su is Lord He’s person. The He family is a famous family in the capital. Lord He is very fond of Miss Su. I think Miss Su is not short of money.”

Hearing this, Kang Shi smiled and raised his chin. “It doesn’t matter if you are short of money or not. In this world, everyone thinks that money is not enough. Look at those princes and nobles in the capital. To maintain a decent life, which one of them doesn’t have a lot of property?”

“Why don’t you go and ask her first? If she is interested but has no one to help her, and you suddenly bring it up, that would be exactly what she wants. We could hit it off and the deal would be done.”

“If she doesn’t want to, then we can just treat it as a joke. It’s harmless. Don’t you think so?”

Chen Shi thought for a long time before nodding, “That’s the case.”

Whether it would succeed or not, she should at least give it a try first.

Besides, Miss Su seemed to be a straightforward and gentle person. Even if she refuses, I think no one will think she is rude or abrupt.

Besides, her yímǔhū treated her very well. After her mother passed away, she treated her like her own daughter. Now that her yímǔhū wanted to do business with Miss Su, it was only natural for her to pass on the message…

Thinking of this, after accompanying Kang Shi to have lunch and seeing Kang Shi off, Chen Shi went to look for Su Yujin with her newly acquired Jiangnan woven satin.

As for the fact that Chen Shi had just finished eating skewers in the morning and came with clothes in the afternoon, Su Yujin thought that Chen Shi was being too polite and just smiled and said, “Madam, you are really too polite. It’s just a meal, but you sent such expensive clothes. I really don’t deserve it.”

“To be honest, Miss Su, I came here for some other things…”

Chen Shi paused and said tentatively, “When I left Miss Su’s place this morning, she said that my yímǔhū was coming to eat at home, and Miss Su asked me to take back some skewers. Who knew that my yímǔhū praised them highly after eating them, and thought that the skewers tasted really good.. Then she thought if she could open a shop, it would definitely be very profitable, so I came to ask Miss Su if she is willing to cooperate?”

“My yímǔhū has been doing business for a long time and is very knowledgeable about business. Miss Su doesn’t need to worry about anything else. She only needs to provide the recipe for this string of incense. The two families will split the profits 30% to 70%, with Miss Su taking 30% and my yímǔhū taking 70%. The profits will be distributed every three months.”

“My yímǔhū is the elder in the family and has always taken good care of me. Now that my yímǔhū has asked for help and it is about making money, I have the courage to ask Miss Su if she agrees to this.”

“If Miss Su agrees, I will bring my yímǔhū here to discuss the cooperation with Miss Su. If Miss Su is unwilling, that’s fine. It’s mainly because yímǔhū asked this question, so I have to ask it. Miss Su doesn’t have to take it too seriously…”

Su Yujin looked at Chen Shi, who was quite nervous and blinked.

You can sit at home and business will come to you.

It was just that she had nothing to do, so she made some skewers to kill time, but it turned out to bring such a big business opportunity? Although she had not met Chen Shi’s yímǔhū, the other party decided to do this business immediately after just tasting the skewers and even begged Chen Shi to be the lobbyist. It could be seen that as Chen Shi said, this yímǔhū was really good at doing business.

She doesn’t miss any opportunity to make money!

In this world, no one thinks that they have too much money.

What was more, Su Yujin had now used all her fortune to buy the farm, and her wallet was completely empty. If there were any mistakes in these businesses, she would be stretched to the limit.

If she could do one more business…

Su Yujin took a sip of tea and said slowly, “Since Madam has asked, I am interested in this matter, but I dare not make the decision on my own. I need to discuss it with the Second Master. Madam, you may as well wait for me for a few days. After I have discussed it with the Second Master, I will give you the final say.”

If it were in Qinghe County, there would be no need to tell He Yanxiu about these things, and He Yanxiu wouldn’t care.

But this was Hedong Prefecture, and the business was introduced by Prefect Qu’s wife, Chen Shi, so Su Yujin thought it would be a good idea to tell He Yanxiu about it.

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi was overjoyed.

Being interested and willing to discuss with He Yanxiu was the first step.

“Miss Su is right. I will wait for good news.”

“Madam, have some tea.” Su Yujin raised her hand, picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip of tea, and thought about how to bring up this matter with He Yanxiu.

He Yanxiu came back very late these days, but Su Yujin heard from Xing’an that it was because he was very tired these days, so He Yanxiu would come back early today and take a day off tomorrow.
