Si Jinhan felt defeated again, staring blankly at Chu Suifeng, as if he did not recognize him.

“Thank you, Prince. I am willing to give up another ten percent of the profit from roast duck to the Prince.” Lin Ziyin was as generous as the other party.

“I have also helped you a lot, you can’t favor one and discriminate against the other,” Si Jinhan complained, squeezing in to defend himself.

Lin Ziyin simply responded with two words, “Ha Ha”.

Then there was silence. Regardless of the harsh words uttered by Si Jinhan, she pretended not to hear them all.

Towards such a woman, Si Jinhan ultimately admitted he was defeated by her.

“What is the use of those golden things you planted?” Chu Suifeng asked her casually, not paying much attention to the profit matter.

“Are you referring to corn?” Lin Ziyin asked, taken aback.

Chu Suifeng nodded.

“It’s a grain that’s second only to rice and wheat in terms of yield and pest resistance. The stalks can be used to feed cattle after harvest,” Lin Ziyin replied, “Of course, the ground corn can be used to make various starches, and even oil can be extracted from it.”

“Can it be planted on a large scale?” Chu Suifeng asked more eagerly, his tone becoming more serious.

“It’s hard to say at this point, I’m still in the experimental phase. I’ll reassess after the next harvest,” said Lin Ziyin.

Chu Suifeng let go of the matter about corn cultivation. After all, the fact that the Lin family stayed in the Northern Land meant that they couldn’t escape anyway. If corn cultivation proves successful, it can be promoted in the Northern Land in the future, providing an additional layer of security for the people.

Three days passed quickly, and when Lin Ziyin stepped into the shop again, she found that it had been completely transformed.

The most attractive item in the shop was a glass counter in the center that served as the checkout desk. It wasn’t as clear as modern glass, but it allowed customers to see the items inside clearly.

“Are we going to open for business in such a hurry tomorrow?” Si Jinhan was also curious about the decoration in the shop. He wasn’t worried about the business at all, since they had the fame of both the Prince and himself, they would not lack customers.

“What else does the Third Young Master want?” Lin Ziyin asked lightly.

“Shouldn’t we hire a lion dance troop to liven things up?” Si Jinhan asked puzzledly. When other people’s shops open, they often make quite a fuss, and surely his opening shouldn’t be quiet and unassuming.

Lin Ziyin indeed intended for a low-profile start, “Do you not know the saying, ‘Good wine needs no bush’?.”

Alright, he lost. Si Jinhan realized that whenever he was with Lin Ziyin, he was always on the losing end, a thought that somewhat dampened his mood.

“Tomorrow, I will be the first to have a taste.” He declared firmly.

Lin Ziyin did not have the time to entertain him, and ushered several men sent by Chu Suifeng to the back of the shop, “Tomorrow I will teach you the techniques of making roast duck and slicing it. If you are unable to master it, please go back to the Prince.”

At this moment, Lin Ziyin felt somewhat annoyed. After all, these were Chu Suifeng’s men, not really hers to command.

“These are the indenture of several of us. The Prince asked me to give it to Lin Ziyin.” Unexpectedly, just when she was feeling annoyed, the Shopkeeper Liao came over and respectfully handed her several indenture documents.

This move by Chu Suifeng was beyond Lin Ziyin’s expectation.

However, in her opinion, whether there was an indenture or not made no difference. Even if these men were fanatically loyal to Chu Suifeng, they would think of Chu Suifeng, their former master, first in case of any trouble. Furthermore, no matter how capable she, Lin Ziyin, was, she couldn’t escape from Chu Suifeng’s control.
