Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 53 Jin Sanniang's Grain and Oil Shop

Jin Sanniang's husband was originally the shopkeeper of a small grain and oil store.

She died of a sudden illness within two years of her marriage to Jin Sanniang, leaving behind orphans and widows.

Jin Sanniang is different from ordinary women. She didn't cry for her father and mother, complaining about the unfairness of God.

Instead, while raising the child to grow up, the grain and oil store left by her husband flourished and became the largest grain and oil store in the capital.

When Jin Sanniang saw Yu Xilin coming, she showed a girlish and shy expression on her charming face:
"Master Yu, why are you here? Sit down! Sit down!"

While beckoning Yu Xilin and others to sit down, she ordered the waiter to bring tea and water, and after working for a while, she sat down opposite Yu Xilin.

"Sanniang, I'm here to discuss something with you."

Yu Xilin didn't talk nonsense, and directly cut to the point, talking about her reason for coming.

"Master Yu, if you have anything to do, just ask, as long as Sanniang can do it, there is no other way!"

After hearing Yu Xilin's intention, Jin Sanniang's eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.

She finally looked forward to being able to sit at the same table with Yu Xilin and discuss serious matters.

This means that the relationship between the two has further developed, and there will even be qualitative changes in the future.

The excitement and joy in Jin Sanniang's heart were simply indescribable in words.

"Sanniang, look at this first."

Yu Xilin didn't care about the difference between men and women, so he turned Jin Sanniang's hand over, palm facing up, and poured some salt from the bamboo tube onto it.

"what is this?"

Jin Sanniang looked at the crystal clear refined salt and asked with a blank expression.

"Try it."

Yu Xilin smiled and motioned for Jin Sanniang to try it.

Jin Sanniang didn't refuse either, she raised her little finger and put a little bit of it into her mouth with her long nails dyed with Kodan.

There was a hint of umami in the saltiness, which made her frown, but she held back and savored the taste carefully.

"Young Master Yu, where did you get such good salt?"

As expected, Jin Sanniang is a person who is used to big business. She didn't startle like ordinary people, but asked this doubt very calmly.

Lin Xiao looked at this ancient strong woman with admiration.

"My good brother Lin Xiao made it himself."

Yu Xilin put his arms around Lin Xiao's shoulders, as if he was a good brother.

"You... know how to make salt?"

Jin Sanniang looked suspiciously at the boy sitting next to Yu Xilin, with fair skin, a straight nose, and handsome facial features.

The first impression this young man gave Jin Sanniang was that he was heroic and handsome.

However, she couldn't believe that such a young man knew how to make salt!

What's more, making salt is a big project, how can one person make it?
Lin Xiao nodded: "Well, I can make salt."

"San Niang, my brother wants to sell salt in your store, what do you think?"

Yu Xilin looked at the surprised Jin Sanniang and asked with a smile.

"Is this... okay?"

As a businessman and a successful strong woman, she naturally knows the truth of not getting ahead without profit.

It's just privately produced salt, can the quality be guaranteed?
If the salt brought over for sale does not match the quality of the current sample salt, wouldn't it be a blow to your own brand?

Besides, what if the salt is poisonous and kills people if eaten?
Jin Sanniang hesitated for a while, then slowly asked:
"Little brother, can you guarantee that the salt you make every time is the same as these?"

"Of course!"

Lin Xiao replied confidently:

"Our village, including my own family, eats this salt. I guarantee the quality! If you don't believe me, you can sample the salt every time you buy it. If there is anything unqualified, we will destroy it immediately. We will never break our promise!"

Jin Sanniang had never dealt with Lin Xiao before, so naturally she couldn't trust her.

She cast her eyes on Yu Xilin. Yu Xilin is a member of the Yu family, a son of an aristocratic family, and she can still trust her character.

Yu Xilin nodded to her and said:

"Sanniang, don't worry, I will personally check Brother Lin's salt!"

"Since Mr. Yu has already opened his mouth, it would be shameful for me to refuse. Okay, as long as the quality of the salt can pass my test, you can safely sell it to me!"

Jin Sanniang was also straightforward, hearing Yu Xilin's affirmative answer made her feel more at ease.

"Well, but about the price of salt, I hope I can make it clear to the shopkeeper in advance."

Lin Xiao told Jin Sanniang the price she and Yu Xilin set for the salt, and Jin Sanniang was quite shocked:

"Little brother, your salt is of such high quality, why is your price so low for ordinary people?"

"My brother Bodhisattva has a heart, and I hope that the common people can eat salt."

Yu Xilin explained for Lin Xiao.

Jin Sanniang is now more interested in Lin Xiao, a beautiful boy, and she is more and more curious about Lin Xiao:

"You said that all you have in your head is worrying about the country, the people, and the world. Why don't you go to the examination for fame? You can have this kind of awareness at this age, and you will definitely be a great teacher with a long history!"

"The shopkeeper is absurd!"

Lin Xiao bowed his hands modestly.

"Don't call me shopkeeper one by one, you're too born! I'm a few years older than you, just call me sister."

Jin Sanniang looked at Lin Xiao with a smile, she really admired this smart and kind young man.

"Sister, you don't mind if I call you that?"

Lin Xiao also looked at Jin Sanniang with a smile.

"Of course I do!"

Jin Sanniang stared at Lin Xiao pretending to be angry: "You're kidding! Hahaha..."

Two people, one gentle and one playful, both laughed.

"By the way, sister, the salt is sold at your place, do you think you get a commission or just get the goods?"

"Sister wants to hear your opinion first."

Jin Sanniang rested her chin on her hand and asked with great interest.

She is not short of money, whether it is a commission or getting goods is not important to her, she just wants to see if this guy Lin Xiao has business acumen.

"Although getting the goods can relieve my financial pressure, I still hope that you can get a commission."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because our pricing is dead, if you buy the goods, I can only give you a [-]% discount at most, and the premise of the [-]% discount is that you get at least a thousand catties of salt, so it is better to get a commission. "

"Hahaha... Good boy, I am sure you are right, you are a business person, you have courage and insight!"

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Jin Sanniang laughed out loud.

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed by her praise, scratched his head and laughed.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll do what my little brother wants. Don't worry, my sister will sell your salt!"

……

After leaving Jin Sanniang's grain and oil store, the sun had already set.

Lin Xiao and others bid farewell to Yu Xilin and walked towards Yuelai Inn.

"Xiao Linzi, I have completely convinced you this time! How did your head grow? How can you be so smart?"

Mazi gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up, he really admired Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao smiled, she, who came from time travel, naturally has this advantage.
