Chapter 320 Find More Houses

If you don't want to do it, that's fine. Please take these live ducks and geese back as soon as possible. The dust is too heavy and it affects our business."

"Um, Master Hua, these duck and goose viscera are for you, but you need the duck feathers for yourself..." Butler Zhao said with a stiff face.

Hua Lei still smiled, but her voice was a little colder, and she said, "Butler Zhao, are you here to tell me to do something directly with the instructions of Doctor Zhao?

Are you here to do business with my Yuanying Manor? If that is what Doctor Zhao wants, then fine. I will find a group of people to help Doctor Zhao slaughter these live ducks and geese for free.

I will have someone send all the duck and goose down, duck liver, goose liver and other internal organs back to Lord Zhao's residence tomorrow by mule cart."

He didn't know if it was Butler Zhao's illusion, but he just felt that not a penny less sounded particularly harsh.

"If Steward Zhao wants to do business with Yuanying Manor, that's fine. Look at what's written on this wooden board. If Lord Zhao needs duck or goose feathers, please slaughter these live ducks and geese and send them over."

Butler Zhao just stayed where he was, feeling torn. He was just a butler and of course he had to do things according to his master's wishes. But what should he do now?

His master sent him here specially, thinking that he could show off a little and use his power to intimidate others so that the people in this manor would not dare to refuse the order. He didn't expect that Hua Lei would be in Yuanying Manor in person.

Now he was wearing his official uniform, so he didn't dare to show off in front of her. Should he still make this batch of preserved food? Butler Zhao couldn't make up his mind for a while, and after thinking hard for a long time, he finally took these live ducks and geese back in shame.

Somehow, the news that Doctor Zhao did not want to slaughter the ducks and geese himself but wanted to get duck and goose feathers for free spread, and for a while, his reputation became very bad.

Doctor Zhao got very angry at Butler Zhao, and many people who wanted to take advantage of him secretly no longer dared to have any evil thoughts. Those who wanted to make preserved goods had to just follow the requirements of Yuanying Manor.

Hua Lei returned to her study room feeling refreshed. Hey, Lord Hua, this title sounds nice. This official uniform is also very useful. I must make good use of it in the future.

Hualei happily continued to sort out the lists in her hand. It was not until the evening that Hualei took a carriage back to the Hua residence in Yongningfang.

Yes, Hua Lei recently bought a carriage because she had enough money and was a high-ranking official. She felt a little cheap to travel by mule carriage.

So he made up his mind and spent some money to buy two carriages, one for picking up Xiaoyuan and the other for his own travel.

I have to say, this horse-drawn carriage is much more comfortable than a mule cart. The inside of the carriage is also padded with cushions, pillows, and a small blanket. You can cover yourself with it and take a rest when you are tired. It is very convenient.

No wonder many people in the previous life liked to buy luxury cars. It really is true that you get what you pay for.

Hualei is constantly cleaning the wool on her farm. Now the process is much faster. Hualei is worried that the weather will change in the future. There is less sunlight in winter, which is not conducive to drying the raw wool.

If the raw wool is kept for too long, the flower buds are worried that it will go bad, so during this period of time, the farm has been cleaning large amounts of raw wool, spinning it into wool yarn and storing it.

As for the woolen sweaters, Hualei made one for several people in Uncle Fu and Aunt Song's family, and also gave one to Zhenzhu, Rongjin and Rongjue.

The rest of the knitted sweaters were put into the warehouse. Since the quantity was small, they were not sold in the Flower Fairy Shop. During this period, Hualei would think about the wool sweaters whenever she had time.

In the evening, after dinner, Hualei took her bound notebook and wrote as usual. Because the Imperial College was closed tomorrow, Xiaoyuan also came back today.

Although the two of them now have their own study rooms, every time Xiaoyuan comes back from the Imperial College, he still likes to go to Hualei's study room to read and study together.

Hualei also took this opportunity to ask Xiaoyuan about his homework and the various situations in the Imperial College. She also got used to telling Xiaoyuan about the various things happening in her farm and shop.

When Xiaoyuan heard Hualei say that Lord Pei proposed to cooperate with Hualei to make woolen sweaters, Hualei was still hesitating, so Xiaoyuan asked Hualei.

"Sister, didn't you say it would be better if we stockpile more raw wool? Since the more the better, and we don't have enough money ourselves, we can find a few more people to cooperate with? We don't have to cooperate with Grandfather Pei's family?"

Hua Lei was startled. Find more stores? She looked at Xiao Yuan and said, "Although I want to stock up on more raw wool and knitted sweaters, it doesn't mean that this business will definitely make money.

There are still many risks in the process. If I go to find someone else, what if I don’t make money or lose money? How can I explain to others? Besides, with Grandfather Pei joining us, the money should be enough. "

"Just explain it to others the same way you explained it to Grandfather Pei. In business, there are gains and losses. Can't you just make it clear in advance?"

Xiao Yuan looked at the buds and started practicing calligraphy with a brush dipped in ink. "If we only cooperate with Grandfather Pei, then if we lose money, Grandfather Pei will lose more, right? That's not good, right?"

Hualei frowned, twirled the pen, and thought for a long time before saying, "Actually, I think the possibility of losing is not great. At most, I will earn less."

"Then how will you and Grandfather Pei operate specifically? How will you divide the profits? Grandmother Pei will pay for all the costs of the winery, and you will be given 20% of the profits. Is it not okay to operate the wool sweater this way?"

Hualei sighed softly, put down the quill in her hand, relaxed, leaned back in the chair, and said, "I haven't figured out how to do it specifically. I've been thinking about it for a while, but I can't think of a suitable one."

"This technique is not difficult. We don't have much money. Do you think it would be okay for Grandfather Pei and I to split the cost 40% and 60%? I calculated the cost. It would cost about 120,000 taels of silver in the early stage.

I will offer 50,000 taels. The 10,000 taels that Mr. Pei gave me before are still with me. Then I will ask Grandfather Pei to take out 60,000 taels. Then when this technology becomes profitable, I will take half of it.

I will share the rest with Grandfather Pei and Master Pei according to our percentages. Is that okay? Do you think Grandfather Pei would agree? "

Xiao Yuan did some calculations and said, "In this case, Grandfather Pei still has the majority. If you disagree, who will you listen to? According to the percentage, you still have to listen to Grandfather Pei."

Xiaoyuan has recently studied mathematics at the Imperial College, and Hualei has been teaching him the business maneuvers of the farm and shop, so he can understand many things just by thinking about them a few more times.
