After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 55: He Nearly Believed It

Not to mention Bai Xu, even he was amazed at his little wife's vision and intelligence from the beginning.

He was definitely not responsible for teaching this kind of wife.

His strange rebirth made him guess that her background wasn't simple and that she wasn't a real village girl.

However, Bai Xu and the rest had never experienced such strange things, so they didn't think too much about it.

Besides, the reason that they gave was also able to gain a firm foothold.

Shi Qingluo also smiled and agreed. "That's right. My master ascended to immortality, so anything that happened to me is possible."

Anyway, it was just an explanation.

It was up to him whether he chose to believe it or not.

Bai Xu wondered, why should I believe you?

But on second thought, if he didn't, how did this woman know so much?

It didn't seem to make sense.

In fact, he was almost convinced...

He thought for a moment and asked, "Is the method you used difficult? Is the cost high?"

Shi Qingluo replied, "It's not troublesome. The cost is very low."

Bai Xu pondered for a moment before replying, "Sure. If you can turn the yellow sugar into white sugar, I'll give you 1,000 taels of silver and 20% of the profit."

"But the profit can only be calculated after a month. After all, I have to finance my expensesfor the first month to get some connections."

He had to find a backer in this business so that no one else could touch him.

So, he had to pay first.

"You also have to promise me that when you raise a rare flower, you'll give me priority in selling it.

"Either I'll help you sell them, or you can sell them to me, and I'll resell them."

Although he still didn't believe that this woman could nurture the flowers that she mentioned, in view of the face-slapping incidents earlier, he decided to treat it as if she could really nurture them.

Anyway, it was better to be prepared.

"Also, if you have any new or fancy items in the future, you better think of me first."

Shi Qingluo didn't think as deeply as he did.

She had already guessed these conditions.

"No problem, I'll give you the priority. But if it's a big business, I might work with a few more companies, so you can't force me to reserve it all for you.

"Also, I have another request. I want to buy livestock from your uncle. You have to get in touch with him."

She also made it clear in advance.

Bai Xu was straightforward this time. "Alright."

So, Xiao Hanzheng went to get a pen and paper and signed a contract with Bai Xu in his name.

Of course, he had also made it clear in advance that if Shi Qingluo was unable to turn the yellow sugar into white sugar, or if the production was too costly or too troublesome, the contract would be nullified.

After signing, Shi Qingluo stood in front of Bai Xu and sprinkled moist yellow soil on the sugar.

Bai Xu was still stunned when she saw the yellow sugar turn into white sugar.

Was it that simple?

After all, it was still shocking to see it with her own eyes.

It was really something.

He sighed after a long while. "Your master is really amazing."

Back then, the Taoist priest was in Nanxi County.

Why didn't he think of paying him a visit? What a pity.

Shi Qingluo didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw the regretful look on his face.

But it seemed like the excuses and brainwashing she and her young husband used were very useful.

"Of course, I'm truly his disciple."

Bai Xu was speechless.

He didn't believe her.

He asked her to write down the method in detail.

Then, he asked Number Four to fetch a thousand taels of silver from the Bai family.

Shi Qingluo went to the kitchen and verbally instructed Xiao Baili to cook a few tofu dishes that she hadn't told anyone about before.

Bai Xu tried the tofu dishes separately, and his eyes lit up with surprise again.

"The tofu dishes are really good."

He asked again, "Apart from these, can you cook other dishes?"

Shi Qingluo nodded. "Of course. The tofu can be used to cook nearly a hundred dishes. I can write some for you."

She had never eaten so many tofu dishes, but her cousin had a complete collection.

Bai Xu beamed. "Alright, starting from tomorrow, I want to reserve tofu."

He asked, "By the way, can this be freshly preserved in the capital for cooking?"

Shi Qingluo shook her head. "No."

There was no preservation equipment here, so there was no way to keep it there for a long time.

Bai Xu had an idea. "Why don't you sell me the method to make tofu?"

Shi Qingluo shook her head. "I won't sell it."

Tofu was the easiest method to sell in bulk.

She was hoping that the tofu business would improve her reputation and tie in her benefits with the villagers and many others in Nanxi County.

Otherwise, the villagers wouldn't be so successful in buying and selling sugar and paper every day.

There wasn't much demand in the county, hence not suitable due to the high production cost.

Just as Bai Xu was feeling disappointed, she changed the topic. "But I can make some tofu skins, tofu bamboo, and tofu curds. You can use them to cook in the capital."

Bai Xu nodded. "Alright, then you have to tell me how to make them."

Shi Qingluo smiled. "No problem."

After dinner, Bai Xu handed a thousand taels that Number Four had brought over to Shi Qingluo.

Both of them had a copy of the contract.

Shi Qingluo had just put away her silver banknotes when someone from the Shi family suddenly came looking for her.

Seeing this, Bai Xu automatically left with Number Four.
