Chapter 739: 739 Earn Big Money 2

“I’ll buy it all for forty cents per jin.” Manager Duan was unwilling to give up a chance to make a fortune for a whole year. With so many exclusive dishes introduced, their restaurant’s business would surely be boosted.

“Forty-five cents per jin.” Tao Meijiao also made an offer.

“Fifty cents!” Manager Duan increased the price.

“Seventy cents.” Tao Meijiao made another offer.

“You!” Manager Duan angrily glared at her, blowing his beard. “Miss Tao, you’re an experienced businesswoman. Is it worth seventy cents per jin?”

“Didn’t Xiao Yue just say it? What’s valuable is not the dried fern itself, but the fact that it can be used in eight exclusive dishes to make them richer. Besides, Xiao Yue also said that there are a few exclusive recipes for cooking dried fern that haven’t been revealed yet, making its value even higher.” Tao Meijiao explained.

Manager Duan thought for a moment and raised the price. “I’ll offer eighty cents.”

“Ninety.” Tao Meijiao increased the price without hesitation.

“One hundred cents.” Manager Duan gritted his teeth and raised the price again.

Su Qingyue listened calmly on the side. Xiao Yuchuan was surprised that the dried fern could be sold at such a high price, but he didn’t show it on his face.

Tao Meijiao paused for a moment, “Let me state my highest price. One thousand and five hundred taels for ten thousand jin, which is equivalent to one hundred and twenty cents per jin. I can’t afford to buy any more than that.”

Jin Xun, who hadn’t made a sound, waited for the two of them to finish bidding before calmly opening his folding fan and speaking, “Two thousand taels of silver, I’ll buy all ten thousand jin.”

The atmosphere became silent.

Su Qingyue originally thought that even if they competed, the price would be at most one thousand taels, but she didn’t expect it to double. She was excited, but still said indifferently, “Is there no higher price than this?”

Manager Duan shook his head, “As expected of Boss Jin, always making generous offers. When you’re not interested, you won’t buy. But when you are, no one can compete with you.”

Tao Meijiao also sighed, “Boss Jin, I admit defeat. Your offers are too generous, and I can’t afford your prices.”

“Then I’ll make a deal with Boss Jin.” Su Qingyue’s expression was calm as water.

Manager Duan saw her indifferent expression and felt this village girl had seen a lot.

Tao Meijiao knew that Su Qingyue was the ‘Unnamed’ female divine doctor, and didn’t think she should be affected by this amount of money.

Jin Xun took out two silver notes of one thousand taels each from his sleeve pocket and handed them to Su Qingyue.

She raised an eyebrow, “I haven’t seen the goods yet, and you’re giving me money. Aren’t you afraid I’ll delay the delivery?”

He looked at her calmly, “You won’t. Last time I was stolen from, there were 5000 taels in silver notes in my moneybag. You returned them all to me. It’s only two thousand taels, you wouldn’t be dishonest about delivering.”

“That’s true.” She accepted the silver notes, checked the amount, and put them in her sleeve pocket. “Send a carriage to Wushan Village tomorrow to pick up the goods. This money doesn’t include shipping fees. If I deliver it separately, there will be an additional charge.”

“How much?” he asked.

She didn’t ask for a high price, “Transporting five or six hundred jin per trip will take about twenty trips. Delivery fees are not expensive, I’ll charge the market price of thirty cents per trip.”

“No problem.” Jin Xun took out another one thousand taels of silver and gave it to her.

Su Qingyue twitched the corner of her mouth. Rich people really had a lot of money, carrying so much in silver notes on them. “I don’t have change.”

“I don’t carry such small change either.” Jin Xun waved his folding fan. “The money for each delivery can be directly settled with the Shopkeeper of my Drunken Immortal Pavilion when the goods are delivered.”
