Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 121 Contracting

"Yes, who are you? You don't look like you are from our village. What do you want to see my old man?" The one who answered was Muramasa's wife.

"It's like this, Aunt Huang, we sisters want to ask if Sangma Village can sell us some raw silk and hemp. We want to buy them for a long time."

"Then come into the house quickly. I'll ask my wife to call my old man back." Muramasa's wife called them into the house.

"Okay, thank you, ma'am."

"You girls don't look like ordinary people. You look like you are doing business. Why don't you have any men here?"

"Auntie, we can do it even though we are women." Fang Shiya replied politely.

"How much silk and hemp do you want to buy? Let me tell you, the silk and hemp we produce are the best in the county. Many men come to buy them. Our village is famous for growing mulberry trees and hemp. You can tell from the name of our village that no other village can compare with us.

This is not something we brag about, this is the name given by the former county magistrate."

"Ma'am, have all the hemp and raw silk in your village been bought by someone else?"

"No, there are only a few that make them specifically for people, but most of them have large orders. How much do you want? If you want a lot, our old man can go and talk to you."

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense." Suddenly a man's voice interrupted the old lady. She turned around and saw that it was Muramasa who came back.

He wiped the mud off his feet outside before coming in. "Guests are here, and my wife neglected you all. She didn't even go to pour a glass of water for you. She only knows how to talk to people without even giving you a glass of water."

"I'm sorry for my poor memory, girls. I'll go get you some water right away."

"No need, Auntie, we'll just sit for a while and then leave." Fang Shiya hurriedly declined.

"It's okay, let her go. By the way, what do you want to talk to an old man like me about?" Huang Cunzheng came in, pulled a chair and sat opposite the two of them and asked.

"It's like this, Huang Cunzheng, we want to merge with your village and purchase raw silk and hemp from you on a long-term basis, but mainly hemp. I wonder if you still have hemp for us to buy."

"We do have ramie. If you want more, you can ask the villagers to plant more. But everyone has already planted this batch of ramie, so it will take some time to open up new land. It will be more convenient to plant the second batch of ramie. How much do you want and when do you want it?"

"We will take your harvest when you harvest it. The quantity is not stable yet. Why don't we take the remaining part of your first batch first? Then we can determine the quantity."

"Okay, then I'll notify the people in the village and give you the rest. There's quite a lot, so you can just come and buy them when the time comes. But it's best to come early, otherwise if someone comes to buy them, we'll have sold them out."

"Okay, no problem. Muramasa, we are also thinking about doing this for the long term. If our business grows in the future, I wonder if you have enough land to grow more hemp. We came here today to see that you haven't planted too much."

"Yes, we can open one next to it. We have a lot of land here. In addition to paying taxes, most of us grow mulberry and hemp for a living. We can harvest 30 kilograms per acre. What are you afraid of?

"Okay, that's good. We are not afraid of too much, but not enough."

"Really? What kind of business do you have that requires so much money? Even the cloth shops in our county don't dare to make such big claims. Little girl, if I hadn't seen how you dress, I would have thought you were trying to trick an old man like me."

"Huang Cunzheng, I can't tell you this for now. I want to sign a contract with you today. We will accept your hemp and any extra silk in the future, but we have to ensure the quality. We will give you some deposit first. What do you think, Cunzheng?"

"really?"

"Of course it's true."

"Okay, okay, I'll go call everyone in our village, and ask our village scholar to write for us." Huang Cun was about to go by herself happily, but was stopped by her mother-in-law. She had already poured water for several people, but they kept talking and didn't notice her. "I'll go, I've already poured the water, and none of you have anything to drink."

After a while, dozens of household heads in the village all came.

"Muramasa, what do you want to talk to us about?" There were many people coming, so Tian Xing'er and the others followed Muramasa to the ancestral hall where they held meetings.

"Quiet down, I have good news to tell you all." Huang Cunzheng stood in front of everyone, with Tian Xing'er and others following him.

"Today, there are outsiders in the village. Everyone should know that they are the two young ladies next to me. They want to cooperate with us, and they are willing to do so. They want to sign a contract with everyone to buy raw silk and hemp, mainly hemp. If everyone feels that they have the ability to grow more, they can buy it.

They are doing big business, with shops all over Jiangnan. If you are interested, come to me tomorrow morning to sign the contract. They will pay a part of the deposit first, but you also have to give them the quantity they want. Don't take their money when you can't do it.

But the two ladies are kind-hearted. If you really can't grow the amount you agreed to, then just return the money and charge a little interest. This is the first time you can do this. If you miss it, there will be no chance. If you are willing, come here to sign up with me tomorrow.

Does everyone have any questions today? If not, please disband."

"Village Chief, are there any specific requirements? For example, what is the minimum requirement?"

"As long as you produce hemp rope and you guarantee that it is not inferior, we will buy it. We will buy as much as you can make, without any limit." Seeing a villager asking, Fang Shiya began to explain.

"How much is the fee?"

"I'll give you the market price, not a cent less."

"Are you sure how much you make? Do you want to collect all of them? Is it the same for raw silk?"

"Will you guys stop wanting it later? Then we will suffer a huge loss."

"Everyone, rest assured. We are from the Fang Family Cloth Shop. You have all heard of the Fang Family's brand, right? We want to do long-term business here and will never deceive you. Also, we will classify the quality of your products. If they are too bad, we will not accept them. If they are of good quality, we will give them a higher price than the market price."

After hearing the satisfactory reply, the villagers began to discuss with each other.

"Everyone can go back and think about it first. We will be here for the next two days. Anyone who wants to cooperate with us should come here from tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We will sign contracts with you one by one and guarantee that we will not cheat anyone."

"Girl, do you accept the ones from other places? I want my family to do this too. Is that ok?"
