âIâll buy it all for forty cents per jin.â Manager Duan was unwilling to give up a chance to make a fortune for a whole year. With so many exclusive dishes introduced, their restaurantâs business would surely be boosted.
âForty-five cents per jin.â Tao Meijiao also made an offer.
âFifty cents!â Manager Duan increased the price.
âSeventy cents.â Tao Meijiao made another offer.
âYou!â Manager Duan angrily glared at her, blowing his beard. âMiss Tao, youâre an experienced businesswoman. Is it worth seventy cents per jin?â
âDidnât Xiao Yue just say it? Whatâs 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 havenât been revealed yet, making its value even higher.â Tao Meijiao explained.
Manager Duan thought for a moment and raised the price. âIâll offer eighty cents.â
âNinety.â Tao Meijiao increased the price without hesitation.
âOne hundred cents.â 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 didnât show it on his face.
Tao Meijiao paused for a moment, âLet 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 canât afford to buy any more than that.â
Jin Xun, who hadnât made a sound, waited for the two of them to finish bidding before calmly opening his folding fan and speaking, âTwo thousand taels of silver, Iâll buy all ten thousand jin.â
The atmosphere became silent.
Su Qingyue originally thought that even if they competed, the price would be at most one thousand taels, but she didnât expect it to double. She was excited, but still said indifferently, âIs there no higher price than this?â
Manager Duan shook his head, âAs expected of Boss Jin, always making generous offers. When youâre not interested, you wonât buy. But when you are, no one can compete with you.â
Tao Meijiao also sighed, âBoss Jin, I admit defeat. Your offers are too generous, and I canât afford your prices.â
âThen Iâll make a deal with Boss Jin.â Su Qingyueâs 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 âUnnamedâ female divine doctor, and didnât 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, âI havenât seen the goods yet, and youâre giving me money. Arenât you afraid Iâll delay the delivery?â
He looked at her calmly, âYou wonât. Last time I was stolen from, there were 5000 taels in silver notes in my moneybag. You returned them all to me. Itâs only two thousand taels, you wouldnât be dishonest about delivering.â
âThatâs true.â She accepted the silver notes, checked the amount, and put them in her sleeve pocket. âSend a carriage to Wushan Village tomorrow to pick up the goods. This money doesnât include shipping fees. If I deliver it separately, there will be an additional charge.â
âHow much?â he asked.
She didnât ask for a high price, âTransporting five or six hundred jin per trip will take about twenty trips. Delivery fees are not expensive, Iâll charge the market price of thirty cents per trip.â
âNo problem.â 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. âI donât have change.â
âI donât carry such small change either.â Jin Xun waved his folding fan. âThe money for each delivery can be directly settled with the Shopkeeper of my Drunken Immortal Pavilion when the goods are delivered.â
