The Shit Carrier Village Girl

Chapter 169 20-80 Split

Lin Deshan was tied up by Lin Yuelan.

From the moment Lin Yuelan stepped into Lin's pharmacy, she had set up a small trap for Lin Deshan. He had lured her step by step. In the end, Lin Deshan fell into a trap and agreed to cooperate with Lin Yuelan.

Lin Yuelan went to Lin's medicine shop to test Lin Deshan's character. Then, she decided to take him as her partner.

Shopkeeper Lin shook his head. He could only laugh amusedly and angrily. “Girl, how do you propose that we cooperate?”

Lin Yuelan said, “I will give you a rare medicinal herb. Then, we divide 20 – 80. You can 20%, and I get 80%!”

Shopkeeper Lin frowned slightly and asked puzzledly, “What rare medicinal herb? And girl, don't you think you're too greedy with this split? With only 20 percent, how much profit could he make? He's gonna lose a lot.

Although Shopkeeper Lin was an honest person, he was also a businessman. The goal is to get profit.

Of course, he knew what a rare plant was, but it was hard to find. That's why they're rare. He did not think that Lin Yuelan would be lucky enough to find wild ginseng in the mountains every day. It's just a fantasy.

Lin Yuelan could guess Lin Deshan's thoughts from his stolen expression. He must have doubted his words.

Lin Yuelan told him directly, “With a rare herb, I mean a hundred year old ginseng, a thousand year old ginseng, a thousand year old Lingzhi, Cordyceps, Snow Lotus, and so on. I can provide everything. Now, do you think you will gain or lose money with a 20 percent gain?

…

He could ask Little Green to help him find these things. Then, he would move it into his space.

Some rare herbs would gain spirituality after centuries of cultivation. Lin Yuelan would never sell it. Instead, he would invite them into his space and feed them with his spring. Then, he would sell the branching roots of these herbs.

For example, the 300-year-old ginseng he sold had been grown in his home for two months. The source of this ginseng was the thousand-year-old original ginseng Lin Yuelan had found on Mount Da Ao.

Actually, when Lin Yuelan found him, her parent ginseng rose from the ground and escaped. Lin Yuelan had to use her spring to lure him back. Unable to resist the temptation, it came back timidly. Through Little Green's mediation, Lin Yuelan understood that ginseng had obtained spirituality. Of course, this does not mean that ginseng can turn into a human. It just means that they can sense their surroundings and the presence of danger.

Lin Yuelan currently had four ginsengs in her space. They were all the roots of this master ginseng spirit. In order to have more ginseng, Lin Yuelan had to wait for this ginseng spirit to cultivate further or find another thousand year old master ginseng.

Fortunately, those four ginsengs would last a long time for Lin Yuelan.

Shopkeeper Lin was surprised after he heard Lin Yuelan.

Lin Yuelan made it sound like she could obtain this rare herb while growing in her backyard. How is that possible?

“How is it possible?” Shopkeeper Lin asked in disbelief.

Lin Yuelan's clear and loud voice replied, “why is it impossible? I can go where no one else can. In that case, why can't I find things that others can't?” Of course, Lin Yuelan wasn't stupid enough to tell him about that space.

Shopkeeper Lin was still doubtful. He said, “Even so, how can you be sure that you can find this herb at any time? You should know that this herb is valuable because it is rare. Besides, you're still very young. How do you think I feel knowing you have to go to mountains and forests to find this plant? It's too dangerous!”

Shopkeeper Lin was really worried about him.

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Don't worry, shopkeeper Lin.” I am very aware of my own abilities, and I will do everything in my power. As for how to find this rare herb, I have my own way. ”

Of course, Lin Yuelan could feel the attention and goodwill of shopkeeper Lin.

He said, “Store Guard Lin, this is how my Grandmaster taught me. Even if you don't believe me, you must believe in the medical saint!” Lin Yuelan took out the name Doctor Zhang to convince shopkeeper Lin.

Hearing that it was the teaching of the medical saint, Lin Deshan stopped caring about the source of this potion.

He thought for a moment and said, “Girl, don't you think 20 – 80 is too low?” Business is business, and he has to fight for the greatest profit for himself.

Lin Yuelan said, “store keeper Lin, you are smart. You didn't lose at all, did you?”

Lin Yuelan did not give up on the profit part. He is also a businessman. He smiled and said, “Storekeeper Lin, actually, you know very well that when with the ingredients I can give you, you just need to find a buyer. Oh no, I can say that you don't even need to find a buyer, and that buyer will come to you on their own initiative.

“In other words, you do not need to provide any capital or cost. You only need to take 20 percent profit. Moreover, this medicinal herb was not an ordinary medicinal ingredient but rather a precious medicinal ingredient that could be sold for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of taels.

“A 20 percent gain is probably the full profit you can earn by selling regular herbs for a year.

…

“Do you think I'm right, Shopkeeper Lin?”

When shopkeeper Lin heard this, he could only smile bitterly helplessly and said, “Son, you are really smart. I feel I am not negotiating a deal with a child but with a profiteer who has been in the business world for years!”

In reality, although shopkeeper Lin also felt that this 20% was very good for him, he also knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Behind these high profits, there is a huge risk.

Firstly, if the Lin Medicine Hall only sold these precious herbs once in a while, no one would notice it. However, if he continued to supply this potion, it would attract a lot of unwanted attention. People will do anything for money!

This precious herb will attract many people. They'll risk their lives to steal it. Therefore, to ensure the safety of the herbs, he would definitely hire some guards at high prices or perhaps use other safety measures.

When Lin Yuelan heard the words of shopkeeper Lin, she smiled and said, “storekeeper Lin, you are too good!”

Of course, Lin Yuelan had also considered the safety issue of placing the rare herb in the Lin Medicine Hall.

However, he would not interfere in this matter for the time being. He was going to let shopkeeper Lin finish it by himself.

Currently, shopkeeper Lin's character was still acceptable. However, when Lin Yuelan came up with a more precious potion, would she maintain her honest heart, or would she be swayed by greed?

If Lin Yuelan wanted to have a long-term partnership with Lin Medicine Hall, she would have to test shopkeeper Lin for a while.

The cooperation between Lin Yuelan and Lin Deshan from the Lin apothecary and the cooperation with Liu Qi from the Yuelai Inn seemed to be the same, but in reality, they were very different.

First of all, Lin Yuelan only needed to give a new recipe to the Yuelai Inn to enjoy 30 percent of the profits.

On the other hand, with Lin's medicinal shop, Lin Yuelan had to provide stock, whereas Lin's medicinal shop only needed to sit down to enjoy 20 percent of the profits.

Secondly, the price of the dishes sold by the Yuelai Inn and the herbs sold by Lin's medicinal shop were incomparable. One can be given by everyone, but the other can only be given by the rich.

The Yuelai Inn's annual profit might not rival the Lin Family Medicine Store's profit for a month from selling precious herbs.

Lastly, the Yuelai Inn relied on Lin Yuelan to give them new dishes and recipes.

On the other hand, Lin's medicinal shop didn't need to do that. Lin Yuelan had to rely on them to sell her potions. Technically, they could be foxes who steal from the henhouse. They could tell Lin Yuelan that the potion had been stolen when Lin Deshan or his people had swept the potion away.

This was the reason why Lin Yuelan wanted to test Lin Deshan. He will be tested on his greed and honesty!

If he passes the exam, there will be long-term cooperation. If he failed, then Lin Yuelan would have to make him pay the price for that betrayal!

Shopkeeper Lin shook his head again and asked, “Girl, in that case, I accept cooperation. But,” He said sharply, “I can not guarantee that I can sell these items at the highest price, but I can only say that I will sell it at the fairest price!”

Customers of these precious herbs would be rich, but they were not stupid. They will not buy it at an inflated price. Lin Yuelan did not mind. He understood Lin Deshan's personality.

However, Lin Yuelan suddenly said, “store keeper Lin, there are some things I should remind.”

Shopkeeper Lin nodded. “Continue.”

Lin Yuelan said very seriously, “You can't sell my potion to three types of people. One, those who have committed a great crime. Second, those who oppress the public with their public authority. Three, those who use their power to rob and steal from their workers!”

This corresponds to three classes: commoners, officials, and powerful people.

Lin Yuelan was not a saint, but she had never cooperated with a bad person. He hated arrogant officials who oppressed the public.

Shopkeeper Lin was in a difficult position when he heard this.

…

This drugstore is like a clinic. They have vowed to save everyone regardless of their identity and character.

However, if he followed Lin Yuelan's three conditions, he would be in deep trouble. It was fine to reject criminals, but he would be punished if he rejected powerful nobles and officials.

Shopkeeper Lin said, “Miss Lin, this is a bit difficult. What if this makes me offend someone I can't do?”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said firmly, “Don't worry, shopkeeper Lin. Since I can file for this condition, I naturally have a way to prevent something from happening to Lin!” drugstore

Lin Deshan became even more suspicious. Lin Yuelan first said that she was working with him to find her master, but her relationship with Lin's medicine room had to be hidden. Then, Lin Yuelan said that she was sure that nothing would happen to the treatment room despite her difficult condition. How could that girl be so confident?

Was it because he was related to the heavenly physician and the medical saint? Was that why he could speak so arrogantly and fearlessly even to those high officials, nobles, and powerful people?

Shopkeeper Lin could only agree to this moment. In his heart, he prayed, ‘I hope those people don't visit my store often!’

Lin Yuelan and shopkeeper Lin had reached an initial agreement. As for the contract, they unanimously decided to sign it when the medicinal herbs were delivered next time.

This time, Shopkeeper Lin bought Lin Yuelan's ginseng at a high price. Next time, Lin Yuelan would bring along a medicinal plant, and Lin Medicine Hall would sell it for her.

After Lin Yuelan came out of Lin's medicinal shop with five hundred taels of silver, twelve little came looking for her.

The two of them entered the medicine room together, but the twelve little ones were ingenious people. He knew that Lin Yuelan and Shopkeeper Lin had something to discuss, so he went to play.

When he saw Lin Yuelan come out of the store, he immediately ran over and said with a smile, “Miss Lin, you are here!”

Lin Yuelan nodded to the twelve small and said, “ayo go. We will buy meat today.”

Recently, they had eaten a lot of meat but they were all wild. Therefore, in order to change their diet, Lin Yuelan thought of buying pork.

When mentioning buying meat, the little twelve eyes sparkled. He immediately asked excitedly, “Miss Lin, what are we having tonight?”

“We're eating dumplings!”

“What is dumpling?” The Little Twelve were confused. They had never heard of something called dumplings. Could it be the typical food of Ning An city or the typical food of the Lin Family Village?

“You'll know tonight. Why so many questions, Son?” Lin Yuelan said. He had forgotten that he was younger than the little boy.

Twelve little ones immediately blushed and said in a low voice, “Nona Lin, I am not the least.” Then, she seemed to think of something and continued, “If I am a child, then Miss Lin, you are a little girl. You are obviously younger than me!” As he spoke, the twelve little ones even stood up straight to prove that he was taller than him.

‘Good. Now even Little Twelve have learned to tease me.’ Lin Yuelan snorted and left angrily.

Twelve little ones touched the back of his head. He had no idea how he had offended Miss Lin. The reason for that was that he did not know Lin Yuelan was actually not 12 years old. Of course, he would feel a certain way when the Little Twelve spoke back to him.

Lin Yuelan quickly walked to the pork stall.

“Young color, do you want to be fat meat or lean meat?” The bearded butcher asked.

Lin Yuelan looked at the pork and asked, “what's the price?”

“Fat meat is twenty Wen per catties, lean meat is sixteen Wen per catties, and meat which is a mixture of both is eighteen Wen per catties!”

…

Farmers in the countryside usually buy fatty meat to make lard from them. Then, the pulp can be used to cook vegetables. This is why fatty meat is more expensive than lean meat. Fatty meat is sold better than lean meat.

“Hmm, give me five catties of fatty meat, three catties of lean meat, ten catties of pork belly.. I mean, half fat and half lean meat!” Lin Yuelan said.

‘Many?’ The surrounding customers and butchers were also shocked.

There are 18 meat catties. Can the young woman's family finish it?

“Good!” The butcher immediately replied happily. Then, he used a knife to cut through the meat that Lin Yuelan had determined. He threw away his bones, cut them, and weighed them.

After everything was done, the butcher handed the meat tied with dried grass to Lin Yuelan and said, “Nona, take this!” As he spoke, he placed the bones he had taken into the basket frame on the side.

The twelve little ones quickly picked up the meat and grinned happily. ‘We ate pork tonight!’ He cheered internally.

Lin Yuelan looked at the pig bones and offal in the basket. He pointed to the basket and asked, “How much is the price of pork bones and offal in this basket?”

The butcher looked into the frame of the basket and said in surprise, “no one wants this. They're not tasty, miss!”

Twelve little ones also whispered to Lin Yuelan, “Miss Lin, those things are not tasty. Only people who can't afford meat will put one or two bones on the plate to add a little taste to the meat. As for the large intestine and the like, they have an unpleasant smell, so they are not at all tasty! ”

Lin Yuelan glanced at the twelve little ones and said with disdain, “Then, why did you eat the innards from the wild game I cooked?”

It was not that these things were not tasty at all, but the people here did not know how to cook them.

Twelve little ones immediately explained, “But those things are wild games. They will definitely feel different from those raised at home. ”

Lin Yuelan said, “OK. Promise me you won't eat it when I'm done cooking it!”

Twelve little ones immediately cried out in fear, “I won't!” Based on her intuition, anything Miss Lin made would be delicious, even if it was pig innards. How could he miss the chance to party?

The butcher listened to their muttering and asked in puzzlement, “Nona, do you want these items? If you want it, I'll give you everything in the basket for five Wen! ” He will definitely throw them away. If he could get money from them, why not?

Lin Yuelan did not refuse. He nodded and said, “Oke.” As he spoke, he took out the money and handed it to the boss. “100 Wen for five catties of fatty meat, 48 Wen for three catties of lean meat, 180 Wen for 10 catties of half fat meat and half fat without fat, and five Wen for pork offal. That's a total of 333 Wen. Boss, here!”

The environment became quiet!

Even the twelve little ones, who were usually by Lin Yuelan's side, opened their mouths in shock. She stuttered, “This ... amazing!”

In this ancient dynasty, there was no mental arithmetic or even normal arithmetic. Entrepreneurs must rely on experience and records. Normal people can barely do math. Therefore, the fact that Lin Yuelan counted everything easily shocked everyone.

Lin Yuelan looked at the butcher, who was a little surprised and didn't take his money, and asked puzzledly, “Bos, what's up? Don't you want the money?”

The butcher heard Lin Yuelan and immediately reacted. He shook his head and said, “No, no, miss. I'll take it now.” Then, he could not help his curiosity and asked, “Nona, how did you get his number so quickly?”

Lin Yuelan felt that something was wrong with the butcher's question. He raised his head and saw the shocked gazes of the people around him. It was obvious that they were surprised by his mathematical mastery.

Lin Tuelan suddenly remembered that there was no such thing as mental arithmetic in ancient times.

Lin Yuelan did not want to cause trouble. He immediately took the basket and shouted at the twelve little ones, “little ones, let's go!”

After Lin Yuelan and the twelve little ones left in a hurry, someone suddenly recalled and asked in shock, “Isn't that kid selling the tiger? The rumored curse of the Lin Family Village?

“Yes, I think so too. Did you just see it? A large basket of items should weigh at least twenty to thirty catties, but he carried it with one hand! Other than her, there was no other girl with that much power. ”

Some people immediately said regretfully, “Sigh, what a pity! He is a curse. Who would dare to marry her in the future?”

“That may not be true. Didn't you see the boy next to her? Who knows, maybe he's her fiance?”

“I don't think so. Which girl would call her fiance a child?”

Everyone had heard Lin Yuelan call twelve ‘little children’.

“If they are not engaged, then this person is too indecent. She is really in touch with a man in public.”

“You didn't say it. I think I saw the two of them shopping on the street before! ”

“Hmph, such a shameless person should be drowned!”

“Ck, he's not from your village, nor is he from your family. Think of your own business.”

“I just can't stand to see this.”

Suddenly, the butcher's stall became crowded.

The twelve little ones did not know what happened after they left, but Lin Yuelan heard the commotion behind her. But that doesn't matter. After all, no one really dared to come and capture him!
