Chapter 28: Acting
The sugar bowl was placed on the table, between Lin Banxia and Xia Changyan.
Lin Banxia watched with fascination as the white sugar was precipitated out one by one.
She likes the process of success, the process of trying and working hard in exchange.
The process of conquest.
In the courtyard, Zhao Chengfu didn't know when he left, and he dragged Wang out before leaving.
Li Wei and several of his guards were also standing outside the courtyard.
Xia Changyan groaned, and finally broke the silence in the small courtyard: "Miss Lin, do you sell the recipe for white sugar?" ”
Xia Changyan's heart was to hope that Lin Banxia would sell this recipe.
In this way, he can openly monopolize the northern sugar market.
But if Lin Banxia really agreed, he would feel very sorry.
Lin Banxia was stunned, and his eyes finally left the sugar.
Don't sell it, dear!
Lin Banxia let out a naughty voice in his heart before he said: "Your Highness, the price of white sugar remains high because there were no sugar factories in the north before.
The reason why rural people can't afford to live in brick houses and eat rice and white noodles is because no one has any way to make money except farming.
If His Highness only wants to be rich for himself, let alone sell it, it doesn't hurt to give it to His Highness. But is Your Highness? ”
Lin Banxia smiled slightly, "Actually, His Royal Highness only sent a guard casually, and I didn't dare to deceive the people's daughters, and I also wanted to honestly offer the white sugar recipe with both hands."
But His Royal Highness personally asked about the production method of white sugar for two days in a row, thinking that His Highness would not stick to immediate interests, and had his own furrows in his heart. ”
Xia Changyan listened, and his heart was greatly touched.
Lin Banxia, a female streamer, was able to tell the direct reason for the high price of sugar, and in just a few words, he pointed out what he was thinking.
Doesn't that sentence that has a ravine in the heart imply something?
As a prince, how could Xia Changyan not covet the position above 10,000 people under one person?
But he has been carefully hidden, never expressed, but Lin Banxia almost broke it.
He couldn't help but look at Lin Banxia squarely: "So, Miss Lin has an idea." ”
"Some." Lin Banxia said sincerely, "Your Highness, let's cooperate." I am in charge of technology, His Highness is in charge of capital, I am in charge of production, and His Highness is in charge of sales. ”
Lin Banxia's voice was bewitching, and his expression was full of sincerity: "The bookkeeper, carpenter, blacksmith, and other purely skilled people are all arranged by His Highness, and the labor in production is hired from our village first, and then from the surrounding villages. ”
Xia Changyan didn't admit that he was moved by Lin Banxia's words.
It must have been Lin Banxia who bewitched him.
"Lin Run's share, I only need thirty percent." Lin Banxia continued before Xia Changyan refused, "And, Your Highness, I hope this is not our only cooperation. ”
"What does that mean?" Xia Changyan narrowed the corners of his eyes.
Lin Banxia laughed: "Your Highness, you see, on the surface, I only provided a method on how to refine white sugar, but in fact, there are a variety of techniques here.
First, the pressing process. A press machine can squeeze more than just sorghum straw, right?
Second, the role of limestone in adsorbing impurities. I think there will be other aspects of this technology in the future.
Third, the firing of activated carbon. This role will be more extensive.
Your Highness, you just took the silver invested in refining sugar, and you got seventy percent of the profits, and you also got three technologies, for Your Highness, this transaction only makes money and does not lose money. ”
Lin Banxia leaned back and sat on the chair, tilting his head slightly, looking at Xia Changyan.
Xia Changyan nodded slightly: "It's just to make money and not lose money." But this king is very curious, these are also taught to you by Miss Lin's master who has never met?
If Miss Lin really wants to cooperate with this king, she might as well show some sincerity. ”
Lin Banxia's smile slowly retracted, his gaze left Xia Changyan's body, looked outside the courtyard gate, and then looked farther away.
"Master once told me that if he took out only one percent of what he had studied all his life, he would amaze the world.
When you meet the master, you should treat it as a treasure, and if you are not careful, it will be a great disaster.
The folk girl used to hide carefully, and she avoided it when she encountered trouble, and she generally did not dare to show it in front of the master.
But step by step, step by step, his reputation was almost ruined, and he even had no hope of life.
Fortunately, after walking from the brink of death, the folk girl was enlightened.
What Master has learned all his life, if I end up in annihilation because of me and cannot benefit the world, what is the point of me living this experience? ”
She retracted her gaze and looked at Xia Changyan again: "The people think that His Royal Highness is not extraordinary......
Lin Banxia stood up, and a gloomy and lonely appeared on her face - this is not difficult, as long as she thinks of the wanton nature of her life in her previous life, compared to the present, she will be sad.
She bowed: "If Your Highness thinks that the people are deceiving, then cure the crime of deception of the people's daughters." ”
Xia Changyan couldn't help but stand up, stretched out his hands to help, and immediately realized that he was rude.
"Miss Lin, please get up, it's this king...... It's abrupt. ”
Lin Banxia straightened up, his eyes also raised, and his expression was already calm.
She gently pushed the sugar bowl on the table towards Xia Changyan, and most of the sugar had already been precipitated in the bowl.
"Your Highness, it's the people's daughter who has trespassed. This bowl of sugar can be regarded as a reparation for the sins of the people's daughters. ”
Xia Changyan had never felt so embarrassed.
He, a high-ranking prince, would bully a woman who had gone through life and death and became enlightened.
And this woman still believes in him so much, willing to share what she has learned with him.
The calmer Lin Banxia's expression was, the more Xia Changyan saw the deep sadness and helplessness in her eyes.
And this sorrow and helplessness turned out to be caused by him.
"Miss Lin, please forgive this king for his previous gaffes." Xia Changyan clasped his fists with both hands, "Miss Lin's righteousness is thin and cloudy, and this king will thank Miss Lin for all the people in the world." ”
Lin Banxia didn't seem to have reacted from her previous sadness, she looked at Xia Changyan in a daze, and a tear suddenly rolled down from her eyes.
She shook her head hurriedly, suddenly turned and ran straight into the room, and the moment she closed the door, she couldn't help but shrug her shoulders.
She buried her face in her hands, and anyone who saw her would think she was heartbroken.
Only she knew that if she didn't hide back in her room and bury her hole, she was afraid she would laugh out loud.
Lin Banxia knew that she had such acting skills.
Oscar owes her a little golden man.
Xia Changyan looked at the closed door, vaguely heard suppressed sobs, and slowly lowered his hand.
He had hurt her so deeply.
Outside, Li Wei and the others had already retreated far away, lowering their heads and not daring to raise them.
They all heard Lin Banxia's touching words, and they were all deeply sad for her.
For the sake of their Highnesses and for the sake of all the people in the world, she has no hesitation.
Why does such a good woman have to go through ups and downs!
