The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn
Chapter Summary
” When Zhou Jia heard this, he smiled and said, “Shopkeeper Chu, I don’t know if my fiancée has any other requests. ” Shopkeeper Chu watched Zhou Jia walk out of the central room and thought to himself, I didn’t expect High Scholar Zhou to be so open-minded as to let his fiancée come forward to discuss these important matters. ” Zhou Jia took the contract and saw that it said that the price of the rice seeds provided by Madam Li’s farmstead was to be sold to the Four Seas Bank according to the p...

He hurriedly bowed and said, “Shopkeeper Chu, we don’t dare to take credit.
Thank you for your reward.
” Shopkeeper Chu also bowed and said, “Mr.
Zhou, my master said that the seeds planted by Miss Li will be handed over to the Four Seas Bank to be distributed to various places.
The other matters will be discussed with you.
” “Shopkeeper Chu, we don’t have to be so polite.
Please sit down and talk.
” Zhou Jia smiled and invited Shopkeeper Chu to sit down.
“Shopkeeper Chu, to be honest with you.
My fiancée said that the rice seeds have already been selected again this year.
When we plow all the rice fields on the farm next year, we’ll plant all the newly cultivated rice seeds.
The remaining seeds can be sold.
” “Mr.
Zhou, if we plant Miss Li’s new rice seeds all over Great Yong, we still need to cultivate more rice seeds.
With the current fields on your farmstead, the rice seeds planted are not even enough to sell in Tongzhou.
We have to use more farmsteads to breed.
” Chu Sihai paused for a moment and continued, “There are two ways to cooperate.
One is for you to sell the rice to me directly.
You don’t have to worry about anything else.
The other is for you to send someone to manage the other farms with us.
We’ll split it according to the shares.
You can also make other requests.
” When Zhou Jia heard this, he smiled and said, “Shopkeeper Chu, I don’t know if my fiancée has any other requests.
Please wait a moment.
I’ll invite my fiancée over so that she can talk to you personally.
” Shopkeeper Chu smiled and cupped his hands.
“Please.
” Shopkeeper Chu watched Zhou Jia walk out of the central room and thought to himself, I didn’t expect High Scholar Zhou to be so open-minded as to let his fiancée come forward to discuss these important matters.
Mr.
Zhou is really a magnanimous gentleman.
After a quarter of an hour, Shopkeeper Chu saw Zhou Jia and an extremely beautiful woman walk in.
Zhou Jia brought Li Yu into the central room.
Before he could introduce himself to Li Yu, Shopkeeper Chu stood up and bowed respectfully to Li Yu.
“I’m Chu Sihai from the Four Seas Bank.
Greetings, Miss Li.
” Li Yu also bowed.
“Greetings, Shopkeeper Chu.
” “Shopkeeper Chu, let’s not stand on ceremony.
Sit down and talk,” Zhou Jia said with a smile.
After the three of them sat down, Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu.
“Xiaoyu, I’ve already told you what Shopkeeper Chu thinks.
Tell us what you think.
” Li Yu smiled and looked at Shopkeeper Chu.
“Mr.
Zhou and I have decided to choose the first cooperation plan.
I only have two requests.
When we sell the seeds to the Four Seas Bank, the margin will be 10% according to the market price.
We hope that Shopkeeper Chu can try your best to sell the new seeds to poor farmers at a relatively favorable price.
” Shopkeeper Chu did not expect Li Yu and Zhou Jia to make such a request.
From the looks of it, their families did not seem to be rich.
He did not expect them to be willing to sacrifice their interests for poor farmers.
Shopkeeper Chu stood up excitedly and bowed to Zhou Jia and Li Yu.
“On behalf of those poor citizens, I thank Mr.
Zhou and Miss Li for your kindness.
Please rest assured that I will definitely sell the seeds to the farmers at a discount according to your request.
” Li Yu nodded in satisfaction.
“Then we don’t have any other requests.
Also, I’ve asked Mr.
Zhou to write down the method to cultivate seeds and fertilize them.
If you still don’t understand, you can send someone to the farm to learn from me next year.
” Shopkeeper Chu bowed again.
“Thank you, Sir and Miss Li.
You’re too thoughtful.
” Li Yu smiled and said, “Shopkeeper Chu, you’re too polite.
The seeds are related to a year’s harvest.
It’s only right to be careful.
” “The lady is right.
It should be.
” Shopkeeper Chu smiled and took out the contract he had prepared in advance from his bag.
He wrote down Li Yu’s request that only increased by 10% according to the market price.
He said to Li Yu and Zhou Jia, “Mr.
Zhou, Miss Li, this is the first cooperation plan you chose.
Please take a look at the contract.
” Zhou Jia took the contract and saw that it said that the price of the rice seeds provided by Madam Li’s farmstead was to be sold to the Four Seas Bank according to the price of 10% of the rice seeds on the market back then.
Payment would take place with the provision of goods.
Zhou Jia looked at the contract in his hand and thought to himself that this was too convenient that Shopkeeper Chu didn’t have any requirements for the manor.
When Shopkeeper Chu saw Zhou Jia looking at the contract in a daze, his heart skipped a beat.
This contract was the most beneficial to Miss Li’s manor.
Was Mr.
Zhou dissatisfied with the price?
Zhou Jia looked at Chu Sihai uneasily.
“Shopkeeper Chu, it’s not good to write like this, right?
This contract is too unfair to you.
” Shopkeeper Chu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled deeply.
“Mr.
Zhou, you and Miss Li are willing to give the method to cultivate rice seeds to my master selflessly.
This small matter is nothing compared to Miss Li’s righteousness!
” Zhou Jia didn’t hesitate anymore.
After signing and signing the contract, he handed it to Li Yu.
After taking a look, Li Yu said to Chu Sihai, “Shopkeeper Chu, my maidservant, Er Ya, has been learning how to cultivate rice seeds from me.
If there’s anything you don’t understand in your manor, I can get Er Ya to teach you.
” Zhou Jia thought about how after he married Li Yu next year, he would set off for the capital to take the exam.
He said to Shopkeeper Chu, “Shopkeeper Chu, there’s one more thing.
We’re going to get married next year.
After we get married, we’ll set off for the capital to take the exam.
At that time, I’ll hand over all the matters in the manor to my butler, Uncle Zhou, to take care of.
If there’s anything, you can discuss it with him.
” “Congratulations, I’ll definitely come to give you my well wishes when the time comes.
I have faith in how you and Miss Li will arrange the matters at the farmstead.
” Shopkeeper Chu took the contract, signed it, and handed a copy to Zhou Jia.
He stood up and said with a smile, “Mr.
Zhou, Miss Li, the shop’s matters are still waiting for me to go back and settle.
I won’t disturb the two of you.
” When Zhou Jia and Li Yu heard this, they did not stay any longer.
“Alright, Shopkeeper Chu is not busy anymore.
Let’s gather again.
” The two of them walked Chu Sihai outside and watched him leave.
Chu Sihai sat in the carriage and looked at the contract in his hand.
He thought about how his master had said at that time that Mr.
Zhou and Miss Li would definitely choose the first contract to sign.
He did not expect his master to be right.
Logically speaking, Mr.
Zhou and Miss Li were not familiar with his master!
How did his master understand their personalities so well?
Shopkeeper Chu thought for a while but could not figure it out.
He simply put the contract away and leaned against the wall of the car to rest.
After sending Shopkeeper Chu and Li Yu back to the central room, Li Yu pointed at the box on the coffee table and asked with a smile, “Xiao Xi, where did you find such a noble-looking box?
” Zhou Jia smiled.
“Young Master asked someone to send it to us.
He said it was a congratulatory gift for me and there is an additional gift from his mother to you.
” Zhou Jia placed the box on the bed and took out the contract.
“Yu’er, take it and put it away.
At that time, I felt that this contract was too simple.
Do you feel that way?
”
