“Then, when the potatoes for the next season come out, we’ll charge the price of 4 wen per catty. At that time, 1 should be able to provide an unlimited amount of potatoes.”
Princess Anyang had already calculated in her heart. 1 catty is 5 wen, so how much is 10,000 catties?
After doing some mental calculations and realizing that it would cost 500 taels, the ripples in Princess Anyang’s heart quickly calmed down.
She thought to herself, 500 taels of silver is nothing compared to 10,000 catties of potatoes.
However, she saw that her younger brother’s face was a little gray.
How could he not be disappointed? According to the information he got, Ms. Lin’s farm could produce 3,000 to 5,000 catties of potatoes per mu.
Even if it was calculated at 4 wen per catty, the income of one mu of land would at least reach 1.2 taels of silver.
Even if they only planted two seasons of potatoes a year, the rest of the time, they would leave the land empty. The income from one mu of land was at least 2 taels of silver.
That money was too easy to earn.
However, even though he thought so, Liang Yu did not reveal them.
“Deal! We’ll do as Ms. Lin says!” Moreover, he agreed readily.
5 wen per catty was indeed expensive.
However, the advantage was that other than the Liang Corporation, there would not be any other restaurants that served such dishes.
The rarer a thing was, the more valuable it was. Moreover, the potatoes were indeed delicious.
As long as Ruyi Restaurant could ensure that they had enough profits, it was fine.
Liang Yu thought of something and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
“The Liang Corporation has no objections to the price, but…” Liang Yu suddenly wanted to say something but stopped.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Liang Yu.
“Young Master Liang, please be straightforward.”
Liang Yu’s expression became more serious as he said, “The Liang Corporation won’t interfere with you selling potatoes to the outside world, but we have a request.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and gestured for Liang Yu to continue.
“We hope that if you sell potatoes to others, the price will be at least twice as high as ours.” Only in this way could the potatoes be more precious.
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
Then, she nodded.
“Yes.”
She planted potatoes only to add another snack to the menu and also to solve the food problem of the Nangong Army.
She didn’t expect the potato to bring her such a big business opportunity.
Later on, if she sold potatoes to the Liang Corporation at 4 wen per catty and 8 wen per catty to the others, it would really be a huge profit. Of course, the premise was that there would be others who want to buy from her.
As she thought of something, Lin Xiaoyue became alert again.
It seemed that Head Fang had to give some instructions.
In the future, other than the chili workshop, outsiders were not allowed to walk around freely and inquire about information.
Fortunately, the method of planting potatoes was rather unique. Otherwise, if the Liang family learned it, what would happen to her later?
Not only the potato planting method, but also the sweet potato planting method had to be kept a secret.
Only then was Liang Yu satisfied. He smiled and raised his teacup at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue picked up her teacup and drank with Liang Yu.
Princess Anyang only knew a little about it, but she was certain of one thing, and that was that her brother cared a lot about potatoes.
Thinking of the deliciousness of the Wolf Fang Potato, Princess Anyang salivated.
“The potatoes can also be made into a dish?” Princess Anyang suddenly asked.
She didn’t think that her brother bought potatoes to sell the Wolf Fang Potatoes.
“Of course.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled as she looked at Princess Anyang.
Suddenly, she said, “why don’t Her Highness and Young Master Liang stay in the Liu residence for dinner later? I’ll ask the kitchen to make some potato dishes for the two of you to try.”
Liang Yu’s eyes lit up.
Princess Anyang also revealed a look of joy.
“Good. Hehe, after listening to your conversation just now, I can’t wait.”
The three of them were all smiling.
After chatting for a while more, they started talking about joining the chain stores.
“Now, Liu’s Express is established. And from the looks of it, the response is not bad.”
“The brand value that is rising quickly now is far from what it used to be. The joining fee will naturally increase.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Moreover, if we have enough confidence in the new chain stores, we can reduce the profit in the later stages by reducing the number of franchisees. In the long run, it is better to own the stores.”
Princess Anyang and Liang Yu’s expressions were slightly solemn, but they nodded in agreement with Lin Xiaoyue’s words.
“Therefore, this time, we raised the threshold of the joining fee. In fact, we are also consciously reducing the number of franchisees..”
