Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls

Chapter 462: Spirit Herbs

Lin Xuan Qi also thought about letting Old Feng and the other waiters be more alert when dealing with customers, so that they could gather information on what was happening in the Da Qian Dynasty for him.

But it would have to wait until the business for the inn got back to normal.

Along the way back, Lin Xuan Qi looked out from the window of the horse carriage and he saw that the streets were covered in a fresh layer of snow.

The chill of the cold wind blowing through made the scarce pedestrians that were walking by tug onto whatever they had on their bodies to keep themselves warm.

Hopefully, this winter will go by peacefully. Lin Xuan Qi thought, and he closed the window of the horse carriage.

He rested his head on the seat of the horse carriage and he continued to think about what other businesses he should get into.

After getting an inn, maybe he should diversify to other lines of business... but what exactly?

He would like to go into mining if possible, but that would require so much capital and also other resources.

And worst of all, those who were in control of the mining business might not welcome him.

There would forever be such concerns for him as long as his clan was not big and powerful enough.

Which he could only achieve if he had cultivators in the clan.

It was the best way to turn his Lin Clan openly into a cultivation clan instead of what it was right now.

Lin Xuan Qi sighed and brushed away all the thoughts.

Maybe he would have better luck when he went to Gui Feng City. He thought silently while the horse carriage continued on its way back.

"Stop." Lin Xuan Qi called out to the coachman when he saw that they were passing by Lu Ting’s house.

Crack.

The coachman cracked his whip and the horse carriage stopped.

Lin Xuan Qi got out from the horse carriage to check on the status of his request.

It did not take long for the housekeeper to come out and greet him.

"Master Lin, I do have the update from Mistress Lu Ting." The housekeeper bowed at him and said.

"So, what did she say?" Lin Xuan Qi asked and thought that the voice transmitting jade pendant was something useful and he should get some to communicate better with Xue Cong and the others.

He knew the value of instant communication and he would definitely use it to his advantage whenever he could.

The housekeeper smiled at him and said, "Here are the prices for the items you wanted.

"She said that she would only be able to get them in a smaller quantity compared to the Spirit Herbs you are getting now.

"They are much harder to get."

She said and handed a piece of paper over to him.

Lin Xuan Qi glanced at what was written on the paper and it was two taels of gold for each of the Spirit Herbs.

He was not sure of the success rate of coming up with the pills so he would like to get as many as he could and asked, "How much can she provide for a single delivery?"

"Five each." The housekeeper replied immediately.

The four ingredients, Fiery Chicken Crown’s Herb, Dragon Spleen Jelly, Jade Corals and Immortal Tree’s Sap at two taels of gold each would cost him forty taels of gold in total.

That would bring his spending for the day to a hundred and ninety taels of gold...

Lin Xuan Qi felt poor again all of a sudden but he knew that it had to be done.

"Then, I will need your help to let Lu Ting know that I would like to have a delivery of five each for each of the items." He said and the housekeeper gave him a nod.

"I will get it done as soon as possible." She said and Lin Xuan Qi left the place to head for home.

He had spent some money but all in all, it was a productive day for him.

...

"Xuan Qi." Xue Cong was happy to see him back safely and she quickly helped pour a cup of tea for him.

She saw that he was in a happy mood with a smile on his face and she asked, "What happened? What’s the smile about?"

Lin Xuan Qi gave her a smirk and said, "Oh the smile? I did something very important for you again, you should be thanking me right now."

"Something important?" Xue Cong frowned but she could not figure it out.

He sat down onto his favourite seat in the main hall and he pulled her into the seat beside him.

"Of course it’s something important.

"You are now the head mistress of the Lin Clan with the rice, soap, Lin Clan Taste Transcendent Essence businesses and an inn.

"And don’t forget about the fact that we have another property and retail shops in the capital.

"If the expansion to Gui Feng City is successful, we might have more property and retail shops there too."

"An inn?" Xue Cong knew that he was looking into getting more businesses but she did not expect him to move so fast.

"Yes, an inn.

"But I would need to make use of it to provide the food for the factories for the time being.

"That is, until the food supply into the city stabilizes."

Lin Xuan Qi said with his head held high.

If he had not thought about it, he would not have realized how much he had accomplished so far.

"Are you able to handle so many things at once?" Xue Cong was worried about the workload on him and said.

Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head and said, "I will check on the inn more often initially, and if they are good enough to operate independently, I will let the innkeeper do his job all by himself."

He recognized the fact that he might not be able to take care of everything if he did not delegate to those he trusted.

Xue Cong felt better after she heard him and said, "I understand, but don’t overextend yourself.

"I will ask Auntie Sue to make you more ginseng chicken soup to help with your energy."
