BXBX NOVEL Chapter 331 - 331: Back and Forth (3)
“Also, the processing of the chili peppers will not be done in the workshop. I plan to do it in the manor. This way, even if the workers here made any mistakes, the impact would be controllable.”
She would plant the chilis in the manor, then dry and process them into chili powder.
Then, she would send the processed chili powder to the workshop.
In this way, the people in the village would not know how to process the chilis.
At the same time, the people in the workshop wouldn’t even see a complete chili pepper, so naturally, they couldn’t steal the chili seeds.
Even if someone stole the finished goods, the impact would not be too great.
Of course, security was needed in both the manor and the workshop to prevent any unwanted scenarios.
When Liang Yu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xiaoyue with admiration.
“You mentioned that all the workers in the workshop should be slaves who have signed a death contract.”
“But my place isn’t big. If I arrange for so many people to stay at my house, I’ll have to build extra houses for these people and take care of them. At that time, the workload would increase by a lot.”
Liang Yu nodded.
“The guards in the manor and the workshop will be arranged by me and Third Master Zhou.” She continued.
Although he wasn’t interested in the profits from the production process, he had to control the source of the goods.
Only by arranging for people to watch over the manor and the workshop could he be at ease.
Third Master Zhou quickly nodded.
“Yes! 1’11 be in charge of the guards!” As he spoke, he patted his chest.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Liang Yu and Third Master Zhou. When she lowered her head, a smile appeared on her face.
They wanted to get someone to keep an eye on her, which was exactly what she wanted.
“Deal! Then I’ll have to trouble the two of you for this matter!” Lin Xiaoyue raised her head and cupped her hands at the two of them.
“Hehe, we’re all family. Ms. Lin is too polite.” Third Master Zhou smiled and replied. He was originally worried that Lin Xiaoyue would not agree, but now, he felt relieved.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
Just as she was about to ask the two of them about the guards, Liang Yu spoke again.
“I’m afraid one piece of land from the Zhou family is not enough. We need to have at least two more manors.”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up and she quickly looked at Liang Yu.
There weren’t many manors around Qingshi Town, and even if she wanted to buy more, the owner might not want to sell.
If Liang Yu could help her get two manors, that would be amazing.
Liang Yu was amused by Lin Xiaoyue’s expression. He could not help but cover half of his face with the folding fan in his hand.
“Cough, 1 see. Third Master Zhou and I will each give you a manor. However, only chilies could be grown in the fields of the manor. After the chilies were produced, they had to be sent to the workshop to be processed into the three seasonings.”
“Also, you can’t grow chilis without our approval in the future.”
Third Master Zhou’s expression changed.
What? Giving away the manor?
The price of a manor was not cheap!
The smile on Lin Xiaoyue’s face disappeared.
It seemed that there were conditions attached to this benefit.
“Young Master Liang wants to own all my chilis.”
Third Master Zhou was stunned. After hearing Lin Xiaoyue’s words, he finally understood Liang Yu’s thoughts.
In an instant, he felt that giving away a manor was nothing.
Liang Yu shook his fan and smiled gently. “Ms. Lin, what do you think?”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“No problem. Other than the chili peppers that I use in the eatery, I can assure you that 1 will not sell chili peppers or products made from chili peppers to any third party other than the two of you. Moreover, if the two of you need more chilis in the future, you give me a manor and let me plant chilis for the two of you.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the two of them.
“However, the three of us have to sign a contract. Among the three of us, only I can grow and produce chili products. The two of you cannot steal my chili seeds, as well as the recipe to make chili products. You can’t plant chilies and open a new workshop behind my back.”
Liang Yu and Third Master Zhou were both shocked. Neither of them dared to look into Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “This is actually for all our benefits. Although I have the most shares in the business, everyone knows that the most profitable part of these chili products is in the retail segment.”
“You two can treat me as a bridge that connects the common interests of both sides. Give the source of production to me, a person that both of you trust, build trust in each other, and then work together for a win-win situation..”
