Joe's Farming

Because the doorman of the Xu Mansion already knew who Qiao Yu was, he came in directly without notifying anyone this time.

When Xu Ning saw a stranger coming in, he was so scared that he stood up from the couch. But when he saw it was Qiao Yu, he was surprised and happy.

"Qiao Ge'er, why are you here?" Xu Ning was neither standing nor sitting. She glanced at her husband, and then at Qiao Yu.

Xu Yuan was also a little surprised: "Xu Ning, do you know my brother?"

Xu Ning nodded blankly: "He is my employer's husband. My father and I were helping our employer build a new house."

Qiao Yu brought in the food box with a smile: "I recognized you at the wedding banquet yesterday. I didn't see Ayuan at the wedding ceremony yesterday, so I wanted to come and see you today."

Qiao Yu brought out the sugar-roasted chestnuts: "Here, I'll give you some roasted chestnuts, would you like to try some?"

Xu Ning went to bring a chair for Qiao Yu and asked him to sit closer to her. Then she wiped her hands and peeled a chestnut for her husband.

Qiao Yu's eyes twitched as he watched from the side. Why did Xu Ning treat Xu Yuan like an employee? Xu Yuan was the financial backer who oppressed him.

Xu Yuan took a bite and said, "Don't just give it to me, eat it yourself too." Then he said to Qiao Yu, "I feel much better today. I made Brother Qiao worry about me."

Qiao Yu waved her hand: "I'm glad you're okay. You look much better today."

Xu Ning was silently peeling chestnuts. Xu Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to Xu Ning. As soon as he got married, I felt much better."

Xu Ning stopped and asked her husband sincerely, "Really?"

Xu Yuan showed an even gentler smile: "Really." Fortunately, it was not missed.

Qiao Yu was completely relieved after hearing this. It seemed that metaphysics really existed, but she was still a little worried: "That's great, but you still have to take good care of your health. Especially since you just got married, don't rush into some things. Wait until you're well again."

This sentence made the other two people blush instantly.

Xu Yuan: "I...I haven't...thought about that."

Xu Ning lowered her head and said, "I just want to serve my husband well, how dare I think about that kind of thing."

Qiao Yu touched his nose in embarrassment. He was wrong. How could he bring up such a thing and talk about it directly? Then he cleared his throat twice and changed the subject: "Well, I'm relieved to see that Ayuan is fine. Haha, how is it, are the chestnuts delicious?"

Xu Yuan nodded: "It's delicious and sweet." He loves sweets, so he likes it very much.

Xu Ning peeled several for her husband before eating one: "It's so sticky and sweet! Brother Qiao, are you going to make some and sell them too?"

Qiao Yu shook her head. "I'm not selling this. I'll just make it myself. There aren't many chestnuts in the mountains. I picked a few baskets a while ago, but they're not enough to sell for two days. I want to keep some at home for the winter. If you like it, I'll send a basket over some other day."

Xu Yuan agreed, of course, and asked, "How is business in Taoyuan Town?"

"It's fine. I'll go see Brother Wen later. I heard his foot is fine now. I won't go to the stall then. I'll just focus on making soap at home."

Speaking of soap, Qiao Yu asked, "Have you seen the gift I gave you yesterday?"

The two shook their heads. Yesterday was so chaotic that all the gifts were piled up in the warehouse.

Xu Yuan immediately asked someone to find Qiao Yu.

When Xu Ning saw the set of festive soaps given by Qiao Yu, his eyes widened. The soaps smelled so good!

Xu Yuan looked at the words above and said softly, "Thank you."

Qiao Yu was a little proud: "How is it? Do you like it?"

Xu Yuan took out a piece and smelled it: "I like it! It smells good. Brother Qiao, you took the trouble."

"Qiao brother, you are so awesome." Xu Ning also praised.

"This is called soap. It's specially used for bathing. Your body will smell nice after you wash."

As soon as Qiao Yu finished speaking, Xu Yuan and Xu Ning looked at each other and blushed again.

Qiao Yu:......

"I plan to specifically separate scented soap and soap, selling scented soap to ordinary people and soap to rich people. However, there are not many rich customers that I can contact at present." As he said this, he looked at Xu Yuan.

"I wonder if Ayuan has any ideas?"

Xu Yuan put the soap back into the gift box: "The Xu family has two cargo ships in Taoyuan Town. I can ask them to sell the soap to the capital city, where there are many rich people."

When Qiao Yu heard this, it turned out that the Xu family was richer than he had imagined.

"That's great, but I don't make much every day now, so I can probably just sell it in Taoyuan Town. I originally wanted to rent a shop in Taoyuan Town and sell it specifically to boatmen."

Xu Yuan immediately added: "I also have a shop in Taoyuan Town, very close to the dock. Brother Qiao, if you want it, you can use it!"

"..."

"I've thought of a way, I wonder if you guys are willing?" Qiao Yu thought that professional matters should be left to professionals. He could make money by setting up a stall, but it was only because the people here didn't know how to do it. But in another state, or in the capital, there might already be similar food.

"I provide the recipe, and I am responsible for the early control of the finished product, as well as the research and development of new products. That is, we will launch a new product every once in a while to stimulate customers to continue to buy our soap. Then, the Xu family will be responsible for making it according to my recipe and selling the finished product. I only want 20% of the profit."

Qiao Yu gave the lion's share to Xu Yuan, but he was free.

Xu Yuan got anxious when he heard this: "How can this be possible? This soap and scented soap are selling so well outside, even my mother knows about it. With this recipe, 20% profit is too little."

Xu Ning didn't understand either. She just felt that Qiao Yu was at a disadvantage by giving such a good prescription to her husband right away.

Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly: "What do you think?"

Xu Yuan: "The Xu family already has the shops, ships, and workers. We should pay 40% to 60% at least. Putting aside all the costs, we will pay 40% and you will pay 60%."

This was a blatant act of giving money to Qiao Yu. Although Qiao Yu felt touched and knew that the Xu family was rich, he still felt a little embarrassed.

Finally, the two agreed to split the net profit 50-50. Qiao Yu would come the day after tomorrow to hand over the recipe. The mold style would remain unchanged, still called Qiao brand. A copy of the account book would be sent to Qiao Yu every month for him to review.

"The initial cost of opening the store and hiring people must be factored into the cost. I also asked a carpenter to make some gift boxes, which I will bring over for you to see when the time comes."

"Okay, don't worry, Brother Qiao. I'll ask the manager to make the arrangements. As for the carpenter, ask him to make a batch of molds, and put the money in the account."

Xu Ning just stood there, quietly, without interrupting.

Qiao Yu looked at him and said, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to learn cooking from me? You can come to me whenever you are free."

Xu Ning's eyes lit up: "Okay! I'll come when my husband is feeling better."

"What about me? Brother Qiao, you said that your house was completed and asked me to go and see it." Xu Yuan also said.

Qiao Yu: "Okay, okay, I'll wait."

After the matter was settled, Qiao Yu wanted to go back to see Wen Ge'er as soon as possible. Thinking of Wen Ge'er, she thought of the perverted boss of Fu Manlou.

Qiao Yu suppressed her smile and told him what happened at the dinner table yesterday, as well as what happened to Wen Ge'er.

Xu Ning gritted his teeth when he heard this, and Xu Yuan was also very angry: "I have also heard about this person's bad deeds. I didn't expect that he would tease my brother at my wedding banquet yesterday. Brother Qiao, don't worry, I will definitely inform father about this. Fu Man Lou and Yi Pin Xuan have been fighting for so many years, it's time to squeeze them out."

Qiao Yu's original intention was to let Xu Yuan's family be careful of this kind of person. After all, the competitor was too filthy and who knew what kind of trouble he would make. Who knew that his brother-in-law was actually a little tyrant.

Qiao Yu said embarrassedly: "Well, if you need any help, feel free to come to me." Maybe he is not good at business wars, but he still has a lot of recipes.

Xu Yuan: "Okay!"

"Then I'll leave first. Take care of yourself both. I'll come back the day after tomorrow." Qiao Yu said goodbye.

Xu Ning sent Qiao Yu to the gate of Xu's house. Qiao Yu found that Xu Ning was not so restrained when they were alone.

Before leaving, Qiao Yu told him, "Ayuan is a very good person and will definitely be a good husband. Just let things take their own course with him and don't think too much."

Xu Ning nodded sincerely: "I know, my husband treats me very well."

Qiao Yu was relieved: "Seeing you are so well, I feel relieved. Go back quickly. Don't let him eat too many snacks. Eat nutritious food. Let him get out of bed if he can. Don't let him lie down or sit all the time."

Xu Ning: "Okay. Don't worry, Brother Qiao, I will take good care of him."
