Chapter 56: A Hundred Silver?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’m not selling, I’m not selling.” Xue Dafu thought that Jiang Yue was frightened and quickly bent over to comfort her. “Jiang Yue, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. I won’t sell it anymore. I’ll bring the blind bear to find the innkeeper.”
Xue Yifu was also furious and unwilling to sell it right after that scene happened.
The others were all dumbfounded, including the man that bid 70 silver. What was going on?
Just as Xue Dafu and the others were about to leave the market with Jiang Yue and the bear, the man with the big beard stopped them. “Alright, alright, alright. Didn’t you want eighty silver? I’ll pay eighty silver. You should sell it now, right?”
Now, not only were Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu willing, even Xue Erfu was willing.
However, the three of them thought that Jiang Yue was frightened and looked at Jiang Yue, who was now sitting on the ox cart obediently.
Jiang Yue knew that they were afraid of her, but to be honest, she really didn’t want to drag this on any longer. These people bullied the farmers in one way after another. They had gone through psychological warfare several times.
Now that they were done with the chase, it was obvious that even if they bought this bear for eighty silver, they would still make a profit.
Jiang Yue said, “I’m not sure. At first, it was ten silver, then sixty, seventy, and now it’s eighty… Let’s sell it to the restaurant. If these people are willing to pay eighty silver, the restaurant will not be less than eighty silver in the end. Otherwise, Xue Yan wouldn’t say that.”
“Alright. Sure.” Xue Dafu and the others had no objections. The blind bear had become secondary in their hearts as long as their Jiang Yue didn’t get scared.
“I really have to give it to you guys. It turns out that this little girl is really in charge of your family.” The person with the long eyes was really convinced. “Alright, alright, ninety silver, I can’t go any higher. You’ve also seen that I’m the only one who has chased you all the way here. If you all aren’t willing to sell this, then I really can’t buy it. I can’t possibly buy a black bear that I can’t earn a single silver from, right?”
“Jiang Yue?” Xue Dafu and the other two looked down at Jiang Yue.
The person with the long eyes looked at her with a pleading face. Perhaps he thought that Jiang Yue was still a child no matter what, so he had not realized that they had been led by the nose.
Jiang Yue could tell that this man was genuine. Ninety silver should be the highest price they could offer. Moreover, she was not familiar with the restaurant and did not know what kind of person the innkeeper was. She thought it would be no problem to sell it for 80 silver, but since Xue Yan dared to say so, it must be at least 80 silver or more.
However, she wasn’t sure if the innkeeper would be able to give them a price higher than ninety silver.
After all, businessmen were all profit-minded, and wasn’t the restaurant for profit?
No matter what, the innkeeper was just a worker. The possibility of him spending more than 90 silver to buy the blind bear was low…
With that in mind, Jiang Yue wanted to nod her head to Xue Dafu and the others and agree to sell it to this person for 90 taels. However, before she could nod, she saw a few people coming over. The one in the lead was dressed like a manager.
The person who was dressed like an innkeeper walked over and laughed. “Listen, you’re only offering ninety silver? Then I’ll offer a hundred!”
100 silver?!
Xue Dafu and the others were shocked and immediately looked over.
The man with the beard was also shocked when he heard the voice. He quickly looked over and was even more frightened when he saw the person. He quickly walked over, bowed, and smiled. “Innkeeper Qiao, why are you here?”
