Chapter 53: So he was slapped in the face

Shi Qingluo realised that he was a profiteer, which was useful.

"So what if I do?"

She didn't deny it either.

Moreover, she wasn't planning to buy yellow sugar to turn it into white sugar with yellow soil.

Instead, she was planning to sell this technology.

After all, the profit from buying yellow sugar for decolorization was low and it would be costly to store them.

She wanted to exchange this technology for a sum of money to solve her current problems.

Moreover, her young husband was only an elementary scholar now.

With this technology in their hands, he would most likely be targeted by the powerful.

This would also put him in danger.

If she sold it to the Bai family, they should be able to handle the risk.

She will continue to open the beet sugar workshop.

After all, using beets to produce sugar would cost much less than buying and decolorizing yellow sugar.

With the Bai family's visibility in the sugar market, they would be able to enjoy the benefits in peace.

Bai Xu thought for a moment and said, "I want to see more of this white sugar."

Shi Qingluo said, "My family has it. That's why I want you to follow us back. You can look at your precious flowers and also business opportunities."

She rolled her eyes at him again. "You didn't believe me previously."

Bai Xu "..."

So he was slapped in the face.

"Alright, I'll follow you back later."

He really wanted to see how his flowers were doing.

Of course, the focus was still on the sugar.

Since Shi Qingluo wanted to sell her skills, she naturally had to show it to Bai Xu. "Oh right, you can bring a few catties of yellow sugar with you. I'll convert them into white sugar for you."

This time, Bai Xu didn't question her and nodded. "Alright."

He asked, "Then should we leave now?"

Shi Qingluo was speechless. "Why are you in such a hurry? We haven't settled on how to sell our manuscript yet. If you're not interested in profit sharing, we can go to another bookstore."

She then said with a half-smile, "Of course, you don't have to taste tofu and look at white granulated sugar too."

Bai Xu wanted to cry, but no tears came out.

This woman was too ruthless.

"Alright. As long as the tofu you mentioned is delicious and this white sugar will also be like what you said just now, we will continue to be business partners for these. Then we will distribute Duke Xiao's 40% share after we sell the books and offset the cost."

"This kind of novel isn't found in the entire Daliang Dynasty."

The main reason was that he also felt that Xiao Hanzheng's novel might sell well.

He didn't want them to go to other bookstores.

He was even more interested in tofu and sugar.

Shi Qingluo smiled. "Don't make it sound so grand. If you weren't because you foresaw that my husband's novel would sell well and you didn't want to miss it, would you be so straightforward?"
