Chapter 188 Continue to cooperate
In the following time, Jin Chu waited for Zhao'er and Huanyan's arrival, while increasing the number of times he went out of the house to visit shops.
Now she has taught the people in the palace how to distill liquor. The next step is to retire and devote herself to her own small business to earn money for cosmetics.
As usual, Li Jinchu took his maid out for a stroll for most of the day and finally decided on a shop that looked pretty good. He paid a year's rent on the spot.
As soon as Huanyan arrives, I recruit a few guys and start working.
After taking care of the cosmetics shop, Jin Chu felt relieved. As everyone had been busy for most of the day, Jin Chu simply took a few people to have lunch at a nearby restaurant.
It was already past noon when she returned to the house. Jin Chu simply washed up, took off her hairpins, let her hair down, and went to bed to rest.
After resting for more than half an hour, Jin Chu woke up refreshed.
Since she was not planning to go out, she just wore casual clothes, held a notebook, made a pot of tea, and leaned on the chaise longue under the window, flipping through the books lazily.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door. It turned out that the prince had asked her to go to Hanzhang Courtyard.
She immediately got up quickly, and with the help of the maids, she changed her clothes and combed her hair to meet guests. After a lot of chaos, she was finally able to go out.
Jin Chu was thinking as she walked. She had already taught the wine-making method to the servants in the palace without reservation. Now she only needed to brew wine according to the prince's requirements.
She has actually already retired, so what did the prince want her to do this time?
Unload the mill and kill the donkey?
Not really. The Northern Territory is far from being in a state where great things have already happened. And based on her superficial understanding of King Dingbei, he is not a treacherous villain who does not keep his word. Moreover, given her current close relationship with Su Chengan, King Dingbei will not make things difficult for her.
Since it is not suppression or persecution, then there is only one last thing left. Does the prince want to continue to cooperate with her in depth this time?
As my thoughts changed, the three big words "Hanzhangyuan" came into view.
Jin Chu shook his head slightly and simply stopped thinking about it. After all, it was right in front of him, and he would soon know what the prince's intention was!
He walked into the courtyard and the main hall with ease, and saw the prince who had returned from a journey and Princess Du sitting beside him.
After Jin Chu's greeting, Prince Dingbei came straight to the point, "Jin girl, let's be frank. Although the five people in the palace all learned from you, I'm not sure how much of your winemaking skills they can really grasp. But I already have plans to open a wine shop, so I'd like to discuss a partnership with you in the name of Prince Dingbei's Palace."
Jin Chu's eyes fixed, and he looked back at King Dingbei, his tone respectful: "Your Highness commands, and Jin Chu will obey. As for cooperation, Jin Chu really doesn't deserve it."
King Dingbei waved his hand and said with a smile, "Girl Jin, there's no need to put yourself in a difficult position. Although you and Yizhi have a close relationship, business is business. My Northern Territory cannot bully a weak woman like you just because we have more power. If you don't want to, just pretend I never said anything. We'll get along as we should in the future."
Seeing the sincerity of Prince Dingbei's words, Jinchu lowered her guard. She smiled and asked, "Your Highness, now that you've said that, I'm curious about what this so-called cooperation will look like."
King Dingbei was very pleased to see Jin Chu was willing to respond, and he immediately told him his intentions and plans.
It turned out that King Dingbei was eyeing the vast market for the high-proof liquor brewed by Jinchu.
You know, except for the southern border where the winter is milder and more humid, the entire vast northern area, including the capital, has long, dry and cold winters.
Therefore, King Dingbei not only wanted to sell this strong liquor in the northern border headed by Youyun City, but also wanted to promote the liquor sales model in the northwest and even the capital area at the same time.
And based on his many years of experience in drinking, he believed that as long as it was handled properly, the liquor brewed by Jinchu would surely become a hot commodity in restaurants and inns in winter, and a steady stream of money would follow!
For the vast northern territory, the huge military expenses, and the huge Dingbei Palace, this influx of silver and money is undoubtedly a strong financial support.
In order to successfully earn the money, the quality of the wine and beverages is of paramount importance. King Dingbei is naturally unwilling to take the risk of handing over this important link to a few people who are about to start their business.
After thinking about it, he decided to put his sights on Jin Chu. After all, when it comes to controlling the quality of the wine, if this girl is second to none, no one dares to claim to be first.
In order to ensure that everything goes well, King Dingbei asked Jinchu to take full responsibility and control the quality of these wines for two years.
Two years later, when these brewers had acquired sufficient skills and experience, Jinchu stepped back behind the scenes.
Of course, to express their gratitude to Jinchu, the palace also showed its sincerity. The Prince of Dingbei personally promised to give Jinchu two percent of the profit from each batch of wine.
Two years later, even if Jin Chu withdraws, she will still be guaranteed 10% of the profits from the wine and beverages, and this will last for 30 years.
Jin Chu gladly accepted the King of Dingbei's generosity, but she was not completely blinded by the money. She consciously adjusted the time it took to enjoy the profit from thirty years to ten years.
This action won the favor of King Dingbei and Princess Du.
As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way.
The business led by King Dingbei is certainly not small, not to mention the promising liquor business. If it can be successful, it will be an endless treasure trove.
If others saw this huge amount of silver, they would surely be overjoyed and lose themselves in pride, and would not be willing to push the silver away.
Although Jin girl is young, she can resist the temptation of such a large amount of money. She is quite smart.
If she really marries Yizhi in the future, with her intelligence and cleverness, she will surely be able to keep the backyard of Prince Dingbei's Mansion peaceful, and allow Yizhi to fight on the front line without distraction.
Although she only has three brothers and sisters left, she is like an orphan.
However, this girl is really outstanding. If her elder brother and younger brother do not hold her back, it would not be a bad idea to choose a girl like her as the next Princess Dingbei.
If he takes one more step, the possibility of Yizhi being constrained by his descendants after the success will be greatly reduced.
It was not until this moment that King Dingbei first thought that this girl might be a suitable daughter-in-law.
When both the host and the guests were having a great time, the Crown Prince Su Cheng'an, who had been out for the day, also strode into Hanzhang Courtyard.
When he learned that his father had reached a new cooperation agreement with Jin Chu, Su Cheng'an's eyes looked at Jin Chu even more brightly, and Jin Chu's cheeks turned slightly red under his scorching gaze.
Seeing this, the prince and Princess Du cast teasing glances at their son, but Su Cheng'an didn't care about his parents' teasing.
He picked up the wine and smiled happily at Jin Chu: "Today I want to toast our future little god of wealth. Please take care of me in the future!"
