Chapter 397: Chapter 397 Fire Bull Formation(2)_1

Qiaoqiao and others carried away the water used for washing, and Hong Ying and Lun Luo came in carrying tea trays. Within the teacups on the tray, steam was rising vigorously, the tea in each cup did not resemble plain water, the air was filled with a strong scent of beans.

Also, there were recognizable coarse objects within some cups, carrying a milky fragrance.

"Please have a taste," Lin Ziyin gestured invitingly. The merchants did not hesitate and each picked up two different cups and placed them before their eyes. Yu Shao’en and others immediately brought in some light refreshments.

"This cup contains soy milk powder. The main ingredient is the famous soybeans from our Northern Land. It is supplemented with sugar, water, and milk. The advantage of ancient times is that there were no complicated additives. All foods carried a natural aroma."

The strong smell of beans quickly won over everyone present.

"The second one is oatmeal. However, it’s a bit embarrassing to mention that due to the limited production of oats, we might have a rather limited supply for now. Apart from soy milk and oatmeal, we will also gradually provide black sesame paste and walnut powder in the future. I hope we can all prosper together." Lin Ziyin looked at the merchants with a cunning smile.

"What about the milk? How come there’s no goat-like smell?" Someone curiously examined the cup in his hand. "It seems like there’s a milky scent in the pastries as well?"

"Yes, along with these drinks for export, we will also provide accompanying meals such as milky bread rolls, egg yolk pies, and various types of cookies. These are the golden combinations for soy milk." Lin Ziyin spoke in a teasing tone, which immediately lightened the atmosphere in the room.

"Do these foods also require grain mortgages?" A bearded man asked in worry.

"Yes, it’s needed for the first two years. But not afterward." Lin Ziyin responded.

Chu Suifeng’s eyes brightened after hearing this. No need after two years, that’s very confident. Thinking about the fruitful crops in the fields, Chu Suifeng did not believe that Lin Ziyin was bluffing.

"Have you all decided on how many states you will be doing this business in?" Lin Ziyin asked the main question.

"We, the Mo Family, have taken the Jiangnan region." The Mo Family was indeed wealthy and extravagant, as the Jiangnan region had numerous states, and they wanted all of it without hesitation. For each state, a franchise fee was required. The Mo family would have to pay a considerable amount of silver for just the franchise fee.

"Okay, Hong Ying, make a note of this and then prepare the agreement." Lin Ziyin commanded.

Jue Ming and Yu Shao’en had already been standing by ready to take notes. When they heard her command, they immediately took out their brushes and found a place to sit down.

The rest of the merchants swiftly reported their territories, as these were pre-discussed matters. Lin Ziyin believed in the market and did not fear these people causing trouble by purposefully underreporting states. She had a clear concept of the sales pathways for the products. After all, those chosen by Chu Suifeng would not be narrow-minded, only focused on small profits.

After all, with Chu Suifeng’s capacity, if he intended to find out the truth, no one could escape. It’s better to honestly report than to risk losing a good business opportunity.

The agreement quickly took effect after signatures and seals of approval were placed by each party. Everyone was overjoyed.

"I would like to invite everyone to stay for lunch." Lin Ziyin invited with a smile.

"Thank you for your generous invitation, Miss Lin, and Prince." Everyone agreed while laughing, they all had experiences with corporate social events, and besides, they had been looking forward to getting closer to the Prince.

During lunch, the Lin family house was bustling with excitement. The villagers, seeing all the guests at Lin’s house and hearing that they were out-of-town merchants, were overjoyed. The roads they walked on seemed to spring wind beneath their feet.
