Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuxi immediately picked up a piece of cut watermelon and handed it to them. "Put the black seeds in the bowl," and then put a small bowl on the table.

The two nodded, took the watermelon, and couldn't wait to taste it.

In an instant, expressions of satisfaction and surprise appeared on their faces, as if they had found the treasure of a new world.

"Wow, it's really sweet!" Yang Zichen couldn't help but exclaimed as he chewed the sweet and juicy fruit in his mouth.

He opened his eyes wide, savoring the wonderful taste with an intoxicated look on his face, as if he was in a sweet dream.

The young man in gray clothes standing nearby was also conquered by the wonderful taste. He nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, I have never tasted such delicious fruit! It's simply irresistible." After saying that, he took another big bite and fully enjoyed this rare gourmet experience.

"Girl, here are the seeds." The man in white, his family is the famous local merchant Yuan family, he is Yuan Qingchen, the eldest son of the head of the Yuan family, 20% of the land around the county town is in the hands of the Yuan family, it is a famous and prestigious family in the local area.

Jiang Xue was stunned. "Sir, you have ideas about my watermelon."

Yuan Qingchen smiled and nodded, "Miss, I am Yuan Qingchen, the eldest son of the Yuan family."

"Yuanshi?"

Last night, she had spent a lot of effort to find out about the various forces in Yun County! After all, she was unfamiliar with the place, and it was not easy to find out the situation.

Fortunately, she had made some peripherals in advance, so she finally got some useful information.

It turns out that although Yun County looks peaceful, it is actually undercurrents, with various forces intertwined and extremely complicated.

Some of these forces have deep backgrounds and are powerful, while others are newly emerging and ambitious. It seems that if you want to gain a foothold in this place, you really have to be careful!

The Yuan family is not simple! They are a well-known local merchant family, and their family power is staggeringly huge.

It is no exaggeration to say that more than 20% of the fertile land in the entire Yun County is firmly controlled by this family. It can be imagined that with so much land resources in their hands, their wealth and influence must be extraordinary.

Such a family, whether in the business world or the political world, must have a pivotal position, right? And those ordinary people can only look up to them and be full of awe for them.

After all, in this era dominated by agriculture, land is the foundation of people's survival. Whoever owns more land will have more say.

Jiang Xue was shocked. She didn't expect that the elegant young man in front of her was from the famous Yuan family. She couldn't help but look at Yuan Qingchen a few more times. She saw that he had an outstanding temperament and a gentle smile, giving people a kind feeling.

Yuan Qingchen seemed to notice Jiang Xue's gaze. He smiled and said, "Miss, if you are willing to sell the watermelon seeds to me, I will definitely not let you down in terms of price."

Jiang Xue thought for a moment, a shrewd look flashing in her eyes. She smiled and replied, "Sir, you are really straightforward, but these watermelon seeds were carefully cultivated by me, and the quantity is limited."

Yuan Qingchen nodded to show his understanding, "Then can you please tell me how to obtain these precious seeds?"

Jiang Xue smiled and said firmly, "I can cooperate with you. I will provide seeds and planting techniques, and you will be responsible for the land and manpower. We will split the profits 50-50. How do you think?"

When Yuan Qingchen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and then a hearty laugh resounded all around.

He couldn't help but applaud: "Brilliant! The young lady is really a person of both wisdom and courage! This plan is very good, and it makes my eyes light up. Yuan is very interested in this proposal, so good! Let's do as the young lady says!"

After saying this, Yuan Qingchen stared at her with a sharp gaze, as if he saw infinite possibilities through her. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an expression of confidence and expectation. Obviously, the suggestion made by this mysterious woman made him excited, and he firmly believed that this plan would bring unexpected gains and achievements.

"Then Sir, this is your decision." Jiang Xue said with a smile.

"In a few days, my oden shop will open in the county. I brought it today. Come and have a taste." Jiang Xue then took the oden cooked on the stove next to her.

"Xi'er, please let the gentlemen have a taste."

Yuan Qingchen looked at the steaming oden in front of him, with all kinds of ingredients tumbling in the pot, giving off an alluring aroma. He picked up a string of fish balls, took a bite, and immediately felt the delicious taste spreading in his mouth.

"Well, not bad. This oden has a unique taste and a special flavor." Yuan Qingchen praised it highly.

Jiang Xue looked at him with a smile, "As long as you like it, sir. I only brought some samples this time.

Yuan Qingchen's eyes lit up, "Is this recipe for sale?"

At this time, Yang Zichen also interjected: "I am also interested in this recipe. I wonder if Miss Jiang is interested in selling it."

A hint of excitement flashed in Jiang Xue's eyes

Jiang Xue smiled even more, "You two gentlemen are really connoisseurs. This oden recipe can only be made by joining us."

"I wonder what the specific form of this franchise is?" Yang Zichen asked.

Jiang Xue explained with a smile: "The so-called franchise means that we provide a unique oden recipe and related technical guidance, and the franchisee needs to operate the store according to unified standards."

Yuan Qingchen and Yang Zichen looked at each other and saw the interest in each other's eyes.

Yuan Qingchen spoke first: "In this way, we can not only ensure the quality of oden, but also promote it with the help of everyone. Miss Jiang's plan is very good."

Yuan Qingchen and Yang Zichen looked at each other and asked at the same time: "I wonder what this girl thinks about the franchise fee?"

Jiang Xue thought for a moment and replied, "If you want to open a store, you need to pay 1,000 taels of silver as a franchise fee, and 500 taels of silver as membership dues every year. But there is one condition, that is, you cannot choose to open a store in Chuanzhou, you can operate it anywhere else."

Yuan Qingchen and Yang Zichen nodded in agreement. "In that case, we two brothers will each take a place to join." Yuan Qingchen said with a smile.

Yang Zichen also quickly agreed: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Jiang Xue was delighted, but her expression remained calm. "Thank you both for your support. I will need to rely on you a lot in the future."

"Haha, you're welcome. I believe our cooperation will be very smooth." Yuan Qingchen laughed.

The three of them discussed some specific details, finally reached a consensus, and finally said goodbye to Jiang Xue.
