The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion

Chapter 235

In terms of payment, a tacit understanding had formed between them - settlement would come after goods were sold. He Zhiran had also grown used to this and did not hurry to collect money.

He Zhiran believed that once the Cold Rabbit Meat reached the restaurant, it would definitely become a hot-selling dish. If nothing unexpected happened, Tang Mingrui would come to her door tomorrow to ask for goods.

Upon thinking of this, He Zhiran immediately notified Fifth Brother to slaughter another ten male rabbits.

Without He Zhiran even needing to instruct, the sisters-in-law took the initiative to enter the kitchen to start making preparations.

Sure enough, as He Zhiran had expected, Tang Mingrui came early the next day.

Once the Cold Rabbit Meat was delivered to the prefecture, he observed for a while there and found that it was deeply welcomed by the diners.

Not only that, but the restaurant even sold a plate of Cold Rabbit Meat for the sky-high price of four taels of silver!

Of course, the restaurant selling the Cold Rabbit Meat at such a high price had a lot to do with Tang Mingrui.

He sold each serving of Cold Rabbit Meat for two taels of silver. Restaurants were places that split profits at least fifty-fifty. If they didn’t sell each plate for four taels of silver, it would seem they weren’t making any profit.

Regardless, Tang Mingrui’s promotional efforts for Cold Rabbit Meat were wildly successful. His restaurant owner boss also expressed that for such delicacies, however much Tang Mingrui brought, he wanted that much.

Therefore, Tang Mingrui hurried back to Yancheng overnight without even going home, heading straight for the Mo family residence.

Upon arrival at the Mo family residence, he directly gave He Zhiran eighty taels of silver, ten times what she had originally planned to sell for!

Looking at so much shiny silver before her, He Zhiran was surprised and asked, “Brother Tang, what is the meaning of this?”

Tang Mingrui smiled and said, “I’m selling Cold Rabbit Meat for two taels of silver a serving. From now on, for any business cooperation with Ninth Sister-in-Law, as far as I’m able, I’ll try my best to split profits with you evenly, fifty-fifty.”

At this moment, Tang Mingrui still did not know that his grateful words today would reduce his profits by who knew how much in the future.

However, for Tang Mingrui, this was not a big deal at all. After all, his businesses in the future would be all over the country, and the cooperation with the Mo family was only a portion.

Upon seeing Tang Mingrui voluntarily propose this kind of profit sharing method, He Zhiran did not show any sign of refusal.

Although her space had endless silver that could not be used up in several lifetimes, who would refuse more silver for being too cumbersome?

After putting away the eighty taels of silver, Tang Mingrui also handed over some profits from selling the stuffed animals. With the large quantity of stuffed animals and also wanting more profit for himself, naturally he would not have the blazing sales speed like with the Cold Rabbit Meat.

Therefore, today’s share given to He Zhiran was only a portion of the stuffed animals’ split profits.

Even so, for He Zhiran, this was still a huge income.

Tang Mingrui was in a hurry to rush to the prefecture to deliver Cold Rabbit Meat, so he bid farewell and hurriedly left after exchanging pleasantries.

After sending Tang Mingrui off, He Zhiran continued directing the sisters-in-law in making Cold Rabbit Meat.

The domestic affairs at home were all handled by He Zhiran. Mo Jiuye took Liang Hao and the other men, together with those villagers, to clear rocks in the wasteland.

Being busy for five straight days, not only was the wasteland taken care of properly, those kind villagers also voluntarily helped pull out the weeds.

This wasteland, after plowing it once come spring next year, would be ready for planting.

After finishing up matters with the wasteland, Mo Jiuye still did not rest.

He employed villagers with a pay of twenty coins per day to completely tear down all the dilapidated houses at the foot of the mountain, as well as clear away all the rubble till smooth and clean.

At the same time, he also made arrangements to purchase various building materials.

At this time, all the male rabbits at home that could be slaughtered were used up. To continue the Cold Rabbit Meat business, they would have to wait until after New Year’s, when the young rabbits grew into adults.

Meanwhile, the first batch of rabbit fur was also processed and completed.

He Zhiran purchased dye in the Taobao online store and dyed the rabbit fur into beautiful colors. The rabbit fur, after being dyed vivid colors, felt soft and supple to the touch, completely unlike the conventional hard and stiff feeling that people would imagine.

Before even talking about what could be made with this beautiful rabbit fur, just looking at the colors, they were surely a rare find even within the capital of Great Shun Dynasty.

In her previous life, many young girls would buy long eared rabbit pendants made with rabbit fur. The silly and cute appearance of the long eared rabbits was extremely endearing, plus the wide variety of bright colors, it gave buyers a large amount options in selection, and this was one of the biggest draws of the rabbit fur long ear rabbit pendants.

Therefore, she planned to use the rabbit fur to make stuffed rabbit pendants. The rabbit fur did not need to worry about photosensitivity issues. As the scale of rabbit husbandry at home expanded in future, there would be more and more rabbit fur, believing that it would not lead to the situation of business dictated by intermittent supply like the plush stuffed animals.

He Zhiran drew up the blueprints in her space, then brought the colored rabbit fur to find the sisters-in-law. She could come up with ideas and designs, but her hands-on ability was somewhat lacking. With such good rabbit fur, she did not dare carelessly handle it herself, for fear that she would ruin the materials and what a waste that would be.

The sisters-in-law were all gathered together making stuffed animals. When they saw the youngest sister-in-law carry in piles of multi-colored fluffy stuff, at first glance they did not recognize that it was rabbit fur.

Second Sister-in-Law stepped forward to greet her and receive the items from her hands, while inquiring at the same time, “Youngest Sister-in-Law, this is......” Before her words were finished, she reacted quickly, “Youngest Sister-in-Law, this is rabbit fur right?”

He Zhiran smiled with a nod, “Yes, I used the dyes purchased from the Westerners to dye these rabbit furs, and the colors are quite nice. I got inspiration for a new style of plush toy and wanted the sisters-in-law to try making them.”

Hearing that the colored rabbit fur was also being used to make plush toys, the other sisters-in-law surrounded them one after another, grabbing and picking up a piece to look over.

“Youngest Sister-in-Law, with such beautiful colors, making them into leather clothes would definitely look very nice too,” Eldest Sister-in-Law could not help commenting. In her mind, she had already quickly envisaged what rabbit fur clothing would look like after being made.

Seventh Sister-in-Law chimed in, “With such lovely colors, anything made from them would look really good.”

Of course He Zhiran knew that leather clothing made from rabbit fur looked extremely gorgeous. However, it was not the kind of rabbit fur before their eyes. If she remembered correctly, the rabbit fur clothing that people wore in her previous life were made using fur from ermines.

Since the sisters-in-law were enthusiastic about making leather outfits, after the houses at home were rebuilt, she could consider increasing ermine rabbits in the breeding stock. Right now, the home did not yet have the capacity to expand the breeding grounds; they should be content with making some rabbit fur stuffed toys first.

Although there was endless silver that could not be spent in her space across several lifetimes, He Zhiran felt that there were many women dependents in the household. According to ancient and present views, the more women in a place, the easier it would be for malicious undercurrents and intricate schemes. On the other hand, if everyone had their own matters to keep busy, there would be no time to overthink unnecessary things, which would be helpful for harmony.

Not only that, she also hoped for the sisters-in-law to each have their own skills for the future, so that even as widows, they would be able to support and conduct themselves independently.

Bringing back her wandering thoughts, He Zhiran took out the picture diagrams that she had drawn.

“Sisters-in-Law, take a look. This is the rabbit fur pendant that I designed. Let’s try making them first. No need to worry about wasting materials since the rabbit fur are all from our family’s own production.”

Sixth Sister-in-Law who was more attentive immediately noticed the uniqueness of the diagram upon one glance.

“Youngest Sister-in-Law, based on your design, the size of this plush toy pendant should be just palm sized only right?”
