Chapter 65: Just believe me

Bai Xu didn't believe him.

He had seen many luxurious mansions in the capital, and he didn't think that a mansion in a village would be enough to make him envious or would broaden his horizons.

Shi Qingluo could tell that he didn't believe her, but she was too lazy to explain.

After all, discussing ancient and modern matters with the pure ancients was simply asking for trouble.

As expected, her young husband was still the best.

He trusted her in everything, and they even had something in common. They were soul mates!

Sigh, now that she mentioned it, she suddenly missed her young husband.

Shi Qingluo waved her hand. "Stop bullshitting. If you want this three-coloured chrysanthemum, just set a price. If you don't want it, I'll ask someone else to sell it in the capital."

Bai Xu hurriedly said, "Of course I want it. How about this? Let's prioritise rarity over price. I'll give you 300 taels of silver for this stalk of chrysanthemum, is this okay?"

This red, yellow, and pink, three-coloured chrysanthemum was even rarer than the purple chrysanthemum.

If he were to sell it in the capital, the price wouldn't be low.

The main point was that he was selling something rare. It would beef up his reputation.

This was roughly the price that Shi Qingluo was thinking about.

Nurturing flowers was indeed a profitable business.

She nodded. "300 taels of silver is fine, but you have to agree to one additional condition."

Bai Xu asked, "What condition?"

Shi Qingluo said bluntly, "Help me acquire the sheep's oil and wool. I'll buy whatever quantity you acquired."

Bai Xu's uncle could arrange for it.

He asked, "Why do you want the sheep's oil and wool? The sheep's oil is too oily, and the wool is useless."

He felt that the things Shi Qingluo wanted weren't easy.

Shi Qingluo smiled mysteriously. "You'll know it when the time comes."

Sheep oil could make soap and candles. Of course, wool was used to make yarn.

There wasn't any stove, air conditioner, or heater for winter. She was afraid of the cold.

Other than leather, wool was an excellent cold-proof material during winter.

Since there wasn't any wool now, she could start a wool production and yarn making workshop in the future.

This would also create many jobs for her female compatriots.

Now, she would start collecting wool to make yarn.

She could use it and sell it during the winter.

Bai Xu looked helpless. "Alright, I'll help you find my uncle."

It wasn't difficult to collect these things, just troublesome.

"Apart from this three-coloured chrysanthemum, can you cultivate some other rare-coloured chrysanthemum, camellias, peonies, and so on?"

This was the main reason he agreed to Shi Qingluo's request.

Shi Qingluo nodded. "No problem. I can cultivate ink chrysanthemums and other multi-coloured camellias, peonies, and so on. There are only flowers that you can't think of, but nothing that I can't cultivate."
