After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 64: Did Xiao Hanzheng Know That You Were Such a Spendthrift

Bai Xu had been sitting and waiting for a while.

"You're finally back."

If it weren't for the difference between men and women, he would have taken the initiative to look for Shi Qingluo, which might have caused other villagers to gossip about her.

Shi Qingluo walked over and sat down in front of him. "What's the matter?"

Bai Xu was speechless when he saw her leaning back lazily.

This woman didn't even ask about his sales of white sugar.

Was she too confident in it, or was she too ambitious?

However, he still took the initiative and said, "I've collected all the yellow sugar that I could in the past half a month and sent the white sugar that I've produced to the capital.

"They replied via letters that white sugar is very popular among the aristocratic families in the capital."

Shi Qingluo looked indifferent. "That's a must."

Anyway, her share of the profits would only start next month.

"You raised the price and repackaged it. Other than having better taste, the most important thing for these consumers was that they were eating something scarce. This represents their status."

Otherwise, the aristocratic families couldn't eat white sugar for 3 meals every day, right?

Therefore, white sugar's quality assurance and packaging were on par with their social status.

From the very beginning, they sold white sugar at a high price to the aristocrats and did not target the commoners.

The price would only drop after the sale quantity was so huge that it became a common household item.

However, it was impossible for its price to drop in a short period of time.

Bai Xu chuckled. "As expected, you forecasted correctly."

Xiao Hanzheng's wife was capable and knowledgeable.

She was better than many men he knew.

Shi Qingluo went to the small red clay stove and picked up the tea set to brew Gongfu tea.

There was no Gongfu tea in this era, but she liked drinking it in modern days.

That day, she had unintentionally told her husband that she would return to the county town with a set of custom-made tea sets a few days later.

She poured a cup for Bai Xu and another for herself.

She drank it leisurely. "I'm just waiting for you to deliver my share of the profits next month."

She would definitely not shortchange herself when she had the financial capabilities.

That day, after receiving a thousand taels from Bai Xu, she went to buy some good tea.

This was the first time Bai Xu had seen someone brew tea like this.

When she lifted the cup, he saw that the tea was bright and greenish clear.

The fragrance of the tea was also strong.

He took a sip. Not only was it delicious, but it tasted better than the tea he usually drank.

It was very refreshing.

"I didn't know that you know how to brew tea."

He asked, "What kind of brewing method is this?"

Shi Qingluo replied, "This is called Gongfu tea."

"Why is it called Gongfu tea?" It was the first time Bai Xu had heard of this name.
