Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

"Then, when the potatoes in the next quarter come out, we will follow up with four cents per pound. By then, I should be able to supply unlimited quantities."

Princess Anyang has already calculated in her heart, how much is 100,000 jin for 5 cents per pound.

After doing some mental arithmetic, when she realized that 100,000 catties of potatoes could sell for 500 taels of silver, the ripples in Princess Anyang's heart soon calmed down.

I thought to myself, five hundred taels of silver is nothing for a hundred thousand catties of potatoes.

But when he saw his younger brother, his face was a little gray.

Can it not be ashes? He asked people to inquire about the news that the production capacity of potatoes per mu in Lin Dong's village reached 3,000 to 5,000 catties.

Even if it is calculated according to four cents per pound, the income of one mu of land can reach at least one or two cents of silver.

Even if you only plant two crops of potatoes a year, the rest of the time, leave the land empty. The income of one mu of land can also be at least two or four coins.

This money is too good to earn.

However, despite these thoughts in her heart, Liang Yu did not show it.

"It's done! Just follow what Lin Dongjia said!" And he responded readily.

Five cents a pound of food is really expensive.

But the good thing is that, apart from their Liang family, there is no other restaurant that serves such dishes.

Rare is expensive, and potatoes are really delicious.

They can guarantee enough profits for them.

Thinking of something, Liang Yu looked at Lin Xiaoyue again.

"Liang's side has no objection to the price that Lin Dong's family said. But Lin Dong's side-" Liang Yu suddenly stopped talking and paused.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Liang Yu.

"Young Master Liang may wish to speak directly."

Liang Yu's face turned serious now, and she said, "We Liang's side don't interfere with Dong Lin's sales of potatoes, but we have a request."

Lin Xiaoyue nodded and motioned for Liang Yu to continue.

"We hope that if Lin Dongjia sells potatoes, the price will be at least twice as high as ours." Only in this way can potatoes be more precious.

Lin Xiaoyue was taken aback.

He nodded immediately.

"Can."

She grew potatoes just to give the snack bar an extra snack, and to solve the food problem of the Chiwu Army.

Unexpectedly, this potato has brought her such a big business opportunity.

In the follow-up, if she sells potatoes to the Liang family for four cents per pound and eight cents to the outside world, it will be a huge profit. Provided, of course, that so many people come to buy her potatoes.

Thinking of something, Lin Xiaoyue's heart rose again with vigilance.

It seemed that Manager Fang had to instruct the brothers.

In the future, in addition to the pepper workshop, outsiders will not be allowed to walk around and inquire about news.

Fortunately, the way of planting potatoes is rather peculiar. Otherwise, if someone from the Liang family learns it, what else will happen to her?

Not only the method of growing potatoes, but also the method of growing sweet potatoes must be kept secret.

Only then was Liang Yu satisfied, and raised a teacup to Lin Xiaoyue with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyue picked up the teacup and had a drink with Liang Yu across the air.

Princess Anyang didn't know much about it, but she determined that her younger brother was very concerned about potatoes.

Thinking of the deliciousness of wolf tooth potatoes, Princess Anyang couldn't help but feel greedy on the tip of her tongue.

"Can this potato be used for cooking?" Princess Anyang suddenly asked.

She didn't think that her younger brother went to buy potatoes in order to sell wolf tooth potatoes in restaurants and restaurants.

"Of course I can." Lin Xiaoyue looked at Princess Anyang with a smile.

Suddenly, his eyes moved, and he said again: "If not, Princess and Liang Gongzi will stay in Liu Mansion for dinner later. Just in time, let the kitchen cook some dishes related to potatoes for the two of you to taste."

Liang Yu's eyes brightened.

Princess Anyang also showed joy.

"It's so good. Heck, I can't wait to hear what you guys talked about just now."

All three had smiles on their faces.

After a few more gossips, we chatted about the franchise chain store.

"Now, the signboard that goes up quickly has been established. And so far, the response is not bad."

"The brand value that is rising fast today is far from comparable before. The franchise fee will naturally increase." Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

"Moreover, if you have enough confidence in the new chain store, it will reduce the profit in the later period compared to recruiting franchise stores. In the long run, it is actually more cost-effective to build your own branches."

Princess Anyang and Liang Yu looked slightly solemn, but nodded, agreeing with Lin Xiaoyue's statement.

"So, this time we raised the threshold of the franchise fee, in fact, we are also consciously reducing the franchisee."

Lin Xiaoyue looked at the two of them.

"More than 70% of the chain stores that have opened up fast now are franchise stores. The proportion of directly-operated stores is too low."

"Next, Mr. Li's planning goal is to at least increase the proportion of our directly-operated stores to more than 60%, and will continue to raise it in the future, and finally reach more than 80% or 70%."

"As a result, we will further reduce the speed of recruiting franchise stores, and even refuse to recruit franchise stores in the later stage."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Anyang and Liang Yu were both shocked.

"This...then we still want to join some franchise stores..." A flash of panic flashed on Princess Anyang's face, and she said to Lin Xiaoyue.

The chain store business is so good, she has just tasted the sweetness, and she still wants to join some chain stores to generate income for the palace.

Even if the franchise fee is increased, it may not be charged by franchise stores in the future? How did this happen?

Liang Yu also frowned, but after a while, his brows stretched again.

He is a businessman and can understand the ideas and arrangements of Dong Lin's family.

Since he is not ready to continue to expand rapidly, he will give up and continue to join.

In addition to joining the snack bar, he can do a lot of business.

For example, the resort business...

Lin Xiaoyue smiled at Princess Anyang, "Although the snack bar has a good business, it is a small business. A store can't make much money all year round."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liang Yu again.

"Mr. Liang is well-informed, and Liang's firm has many industries under its name. There must be a lot of projects that his subordinates can do."

"If the princess is really interested in doing business, you might as well ask Young Master Liang."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Anyang looked at Liang Yu.

This made Liang Yu look startled.

"This... Sister, if you are interested in doing business..." said embarrassedly.

Anyang Princess saw her younger brother's embarrassed look, and her face was a little bad.

"Okay. Who wants to do business with you?" said to Liang Yu displeased.

"I have self-knowledge and know my talent."

"It's just that my sister's franchise store doesn't need to worry much. I can almost sit and take money. I dare to do it. Let's forget about your business..." Speaking of which, Princess Anyang's face showed a look of loss again. .

Immediately, he suddenly looked up at Lin Xiaoyue again.

"Sister, in fact, I don't care about paying more for the franchise fee. I just hope that I can get some money every month after investing the money."

"After thinking about it, your franchise store is more suitable for me."

"Otherwise, you can give me ten more, oh no, twenty franchise stores? In the future, I won't care if you continue to ask for a place." Princess Anyang said.

She is in charge of the money in the palace now.

If you put the money in the bank, you have to pay a storage fee to the bank.

However, someone had suggested to her to release the printed money through the Qianzhuang.

It is very risky to release the money, and if the matter is revealed, it will also affect the reputation of the palace.

After thinking about it, it is still cost-effective to invest in her sister's chain store.

Liang Yu glanced at her elder sister, but did not speak.

In the case of her elder sister, investing in Dong Lin's chain store is indeed better than doing anything else, and at any rate, she can make some profit every month.

If you really want to do something else, it's even more cost-effective to lose.

His elder sister is somewhat self-aware.

As for letting A-jie cooperate with Liang's, let's forget it.

Their Liang family can pay for the prince, but in business matters, it is better to let the prince less participate.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Princess Anyang with some interest.

After listening to her remarks, I found that Princess Anyang did meet the current standard of prospective franchisees.

It is the kind of investor who does not pursue high profits and returns, but only seeks relatively stable returns.

But despite this, Lin Xiaoyue also showed a look of embarrassment.

Immediately, under the pleading gaze of Princess Anyang, she nodded to Princess Anyang.

Princess Anyang's expression immediately became ecstatic.

"The joining fee of 20,000 taels of silver, I will arrange for someone to send it to you immediately when I go back!" said excitedly.

Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand.

"No hurry." He smiled.

"We will go to Qingquanzhuang in two days, and it will not be too late for us to make a contract on Qingquanzhuang."

Princess Anyang nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Also—" Lin Xiaoyue said again with a look of embarrassment on her face, and suddenly said again.

"Sister has something to say, it's okay to say it straight!" Princess Anyang said quickly.

"Well... this is the situation at the moment... I'm busy building self-operated stores now. Mr. Li and the others are all thinking about increasing the proportion of self-operated stores. In order to complete the goal as soon as possible, self-operated stores will account for more than 60% of the total. , I'm afraid the franchise store on your side is temporary—"

Princess Anyang was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on her face subsided.

After thinking about it, he said, "It's okay to be later. However, can my sister explain to them that I will concentrate my franchise stores and make them as close to Nan'an County as possible?"

The chain store business, although she doesn't need to be too concerned. But the property of the palace still has to be inspected regularly.

There are also reconciliation and collection of money and the like. The store is closer and more concentrated, which can save some effort.

"It's no problem." Lin Xiaoyue readily responded.

After the business rolled out, her chain stores were all over the place.

And the delivery reconciliation collection and the like, themselves have to run around.

In the case of enough stores, the impact of far and near is not much.

Princess Anyang looked happy.

"Thank you so much sister!" Quickly thank you.

"Hehe, the princess is polite."

The three chatted happily, and it was noon soon.

Under Lin Xiaoyue's instructions in advance, the kitchen turned out a lot of dishes using potatoes as raw materials.

What green pepper shredded potatoes, roast beef with potatoes, dry shredded potatoes, dry shredded potato strips, dry pot potato chips...

Liang Yu was shocked when she saw so many dishes made of potatoes.

Some of these dishes, he has tasted. But some he had never seen before.

Such as dry stir-fry potato shreds, dry stir-fry potato strips and dry pot potato chips.

Princess Anyang was also very greedy, especially the dry-sautéed potato strips, because it looked like a potato that sold quickly, and she liked it the most.

"Let's start, everyone, try it out, the craftsmanship of our Liufu chef." Lin Xiaoyue greeted with a smile.

The chef of Liu Mansion, Sun Tao, was a former chef of the Chiwu Army, and his cooking skills were not bad.

After coming to Liu Mansion, in order to satisfy her appetite, she taught him some 21st century cooking techniques.

Not to mention, Sun Tao's current craftsmanship is better than what she ate in some high-end restaurants before the end of the 21st century.

"Okay!" Princess Anyang responded and quickly moved her chopsticks.

Li Xiao, Henry Zhang and Liang Yu who came back to eat also moved their chopsticks.

Especially Henry Zhang, the chopsticks moved the fastest.

"Princess, Young Master Liang, you can focus on tasting the ants on the tree and the dried potato sticks, the taste is amazing!" Henry Zhang stretched out his chopsticks to the dried shredded potatoes and said to the two of them at the same time.

"Cousin-in-law, didn't you ask the kitchen to cook more of these two dishes today? It's not enough for me to eat alone!" After taking the dishes, Henry Zhang looked at Lin Xiaoyue with some resentment.

It attracted everyone to look at Lin Xiaoyue.

"This dish is called ants climbing a tree? The name is really image." Princess Anyang suddenly said.

Thin shredded potatoes should have been fried, like tree branches. And the above seasonings really look like ants on a branch.

Speaking, Princess Anyang has changed the direction of the chopsticks, and changed the first dish of the clip from dry stir-fried potato strips to dry stir-fry potato shreds.

At the entrance of the dish, the unique taste immediately exploded on Princess Anyang's taste buds.

"This - turned out to be made of potatoes?" With some disbelief, Princess Anyang asked Lin Xiaoyue.

At the same time, he stretched out his chopsticks to clamp the second clamp.

Seeing this, Liang Yu's face changed, and he also washed dry and shredded potatoes and stretched out his chopsticks.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled.

"Naturally it is made of potatoes. In fact, potatoes can not only be cooked, but also made into snacks."

"Slice potatoes, cut them thin enough, and fry them in hot oil to make delicious potato chips."

Potato chips, one of the most popular snacks in the pre-21st century.

"This ant on a tree is also fried. Although it's not a potato chip, it already tastes like a potato chip."

After speaking, Lin Xiaoyue ignored everyone's curiosity and turned to Henry Zhang.

"I know you like to eat. Master Sun just sent someone to pass the word, saying that he will send some later."

Henry Zhang’s face was immediately overjoyed.

"Thank you cousin!"

Immediately, seeing Princess Anyang and Liang Yu, they started sautéing shredded potatoes one after another, and hurriedly stretched out their chopsticks.

Princess Anyang and Liang Yu were indeed fascinated by the taste of shredded potatoes.

But after seeing Henry Zhang's performance, he was embarrassed and continued to fight Henry Zhang.

Then, went to try other dishes.

Then, the two discovered that dry fried potato chips are also delicious, followed by dry pot potato chips.

In short, this meal surprised Princess Anyang and surprised Liang Yu.

When the kitchen came back with dried shredded potatoes and dried potato strips, the two of them couldn't bear it anymore, and kept putting chopsticks at these two dishes.

When it was time to put down the chopsticks, both Princess Anyang and Liang Yu found that they had eaten up a bit.
