Chapter 850: Chapter 850: Giving Benefits_1
The next day, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang accompanied Shen Bai to the mountain to take a round trip through the secret tunnel.
The secret tunnel was the same, but the entrance had gathered more dead grass and fallen leaves.
Since the tunnel was long and ominously dark inside, ordinary people dared not enter, and villagers seldom came to this place.
Qiao Xiaomai and the people from the Tong Family had hardly ever been here. Over time, the entrance of the secret tunnel acquired a taste of the ravages of the weather.
Shen Bai commanded his entourage to hold up torches and took a real stroll through the secret tunnel. After coming out, he was quite satisfied and said to Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, “After returning to the capital, I will have to have a good talk about this with the Crown Prince.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai let out a light laugh.
Tong Sanlang’s face remained expressionless.
This secret tunnel was a sensitive matter for his family, and frankly, it was an unpleasant topic.
Shen Bai was aware of this too and swiftly changed the subject. On their way down the mountain, he finally got to the main point: he apologized to Qiao Xiaomai for the offense caused by Shopkeeper Zhou before and sincerely expressed that Zuixian Building would always be a friend to Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang.
Shen Bai showed full sincerity and even humbled himself to apologize to Qiao Xiaomai. After hesitating for a long while, Qiao Xiaomai finally said, “Master Shen, in consideration of your dedication to the people’s welfare, I can share half of the idea with Zuixian Building.”
The tricycle for children was already given to Extreme Delicacy. By now, Extreme Delicacy was probably already selling it. This was a done deal and could not be sold to Zuixian Building anymore.
She admired Shen Bai’s sincerity towards the people, and after all, the Shen Family was doomed sooner or later, and their amassed wealth was sure to be confiscated.
Thinking about the fate of the Shen Family, Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips.
Forget it, the matters of the Prime Minister were under the control of the Yang Family. She would give Shen Bai this face.
According to what I had discussed with Shopkeeper He before, the recipe for the heating bed costs a hundred thousand taels. Now, I am asking for twenty thousand taels, ten thousand each for Zuixian Building and Extreme Delicacy.”
“However, I would like to put forward my opinion. Now that I have lowered my price, I hope that both of your establishments will also lower your prices, allowing more people to afford to build a heated bed and survive the cold winter.”
Previously, she only made five hundred wen from each heated bed but now she lowered the price by five times, she hoped that Zuixian Building and Extreme Delicacy would follow suit.
After hearing Shen Bai describe too many tragic situations yesterday, she felt somewhat reluctant to make so much from the villagers.
Upon hearing this, Shen Bai had a look of emotion on his face, “Your nobility is admirable, Miss. Rest assured, Zuixian Building will not make money unscrupulously.”
He had already heard about the effects of the heating bed. With such a Divine Weapon at hand, the people of Daqi would no longer suffer in winter.
Since the introduction of sweet potatoes, Daqi had almost eradicated famine, with no further instances of people starving to death.
The advent of the heated bed would ensure the people of Daqi keep their lives through the cold winter, and the number of people freezing to death would undoubtedly decrease dramatically.
Since Qiao Xiaomai was willing to compromise, he would naturally follow suit.
As the topic reached an understanding, the matter was easier to handle. Coming down from the mountain, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang went along with Shen Bai to the town to discuss this matter with Shopkeeper He.
She and Tong Sanlang were also the owners of Extreme Delicacy, and a sudden change of mind was not a problem for them.
However, to put on a show for Shen Bai, Shopkeeper He had no choice but to perform a bit of anxiousness, pretending to want to blame them, yet not daring to do so.
Then she needed to earnestly persuade Shopkeeper He, mentioning how the villagers suffered so much that she couldn’t bear to see it and volunteered to reduce her price, especially since she reduced it from a hundred thousand taels to ten thousand taels all at once, and how this would make Extreme Delicacy earn substantially.

After a round of performance, the three parties happily reached an agreement. Qiao Xiaomai charged each a fee of ten thousand taels for the recipe, and Zuixian Building and Extreme Delicacy established their respective territories, promising not to encroach on each other’s areas.
