Chapter 383 Lack of Sincerity

In the blink of an eye, the carriage drove out of the town.

Soon, it stopped.

Shopkeeper Zhou quickly ran to their carriage and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we're here."

"Arrived so soon?"

Shopkeeper Yao jumped off the carriage in disbelief.

Shopkeeper Zhou explained with a smile, "Shopkeeper Yao, we have known each other for many years. How could I lie to you?"

He pointed to a large field in front of him and said, "Look, the crops here are growing so well."

Shopkeeper Zhou was walking and talking in front, while Zhang Juexia and Shopkeeper Yao were following behind.

Both of them followed Manager Zhou quietly.

Shopkeeper Zhou originally thought that the two would at least be very surprised after seeing the land, but in the end, they showed no expression at all.

The more he spoke, the more uncertain he became, "Hey, you two, do you like this place?

In two months or so, the corn will be ready for harvest."

As he said that, Shopkeeper Zhou ran to the field again, scooped up a handful of soil, and insisted on showing it to Shopkeeper Yao and Zhang Juexia to check its fertility.

Seeing Shopkeeper Zhou promoting the land so enthusiastically, Shopkeeper Yao finally couldn't help but ask, "Shopkeeper Zhou, what's the price of this land?"

"To be honest, if this were high-quality land in the past, one mu would have cost at least fifteen taels of silver.

Liu Da was in urgent need of money, so he sold it at a low price, twelve taels of silver per acre.

If you can take over these 100 acres of land in one go, the price might be able to be lowered a bit."

Shopkeeper Yao turned around and was about to leave, "Shopkeeper Zhou, you're making fun of us! We're here with full sincerity and we're still looking at the land.

Tell me, if we didn’t plan to buy the land, why would we follow you to look at the land?

Your price is too unreasonable. We can't negotiate.

We won’t buy this land.”

Shopkeeper Yao rolled up his sleeves and walked forward.

Zhang Juexia gave Manager Yao a thumbs up in his heart, then trotted to keep up with Manager Yao's pace.

"My two aunts, please don't leave! This price is not right, we can negotiate!"

"If you don't show your sincerity, there's no point in negotiating the price."

At first, Shopkeeper Zhou thought that Shopkeeper Yao was putting on a show for him.

He was not nervous, but when he saw two people actually get on the carriage and asked the driver to turn around, he panicked.

"My two aunts, oh, I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so pretentious.

How about this, I’ll give you one tael of silver less per acre of land, okay?

One hundred mu of land, and you can save a hundred taels of silver!"

"Manager Zhou, let's not talk about this anymore. When we first came out, we agreed that as long as the price was right, we would take over all 100 acres of land."

"Manager Zhou, think carefully about who can buy a hundred acres of land at once.

If the price is right, we'll buy it. It's better than you selling it off acre by acre."

Shopkeeper Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "My two aunts, how about this? I'll ask the master again. Is that okay?"

Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhou was really serious about negotiating this deal, Zhang Juexia nodded and said, "Then we'll listen to Shopkeeper Zhou's news."

Shopkeeper Yao added, "Shopkeeper Zhou, please hurry up! We have plenty of money. If your price isn't right, we can look elsewhere. We'll always find a willing client."

Shopkeeper Zhou could only laugh it off and say nice things, not daring to say a single tough word.

"My two aunts, I will go to the master's house and ask."

"etc!"

Zhang Juexia stopped Shopkeeper Zhou and said, "I've heard a little bit about the Liu family's affairs. He is in the wrong in this matter.

Moreover, he was advised by a villain, so he offended the nobleman above him.

I heard that the county magistrate was very angry about the Liu family incident this time."

Shopkeeper Zhou asked quietly, "How come the county magistrate knows about this?"

"Actually, Liu Da was also quite wronged in this matter. He was also taken advantage of by others.

That person wanted to use his family affairs to cause trouble for people he disliked.

But who knew that this incident would offend the noble man."

People in the business world are all shrewd people. If Zhang Juexia stops at a certain point, Manager Zhou will have an idea.

Manager Zhou and Liu Da have some friendship, otherwise he wouldn't be so hard-working in selling land to him.

After all, another dental clinic in the town heard about Liu Da's situation and refused to take the business.

Zhang Juexia looked at Shopkeeper Zhou's carriage. After it hurried away, she smiled at Shopkeeper Yao and said, "The scenery here is nice. Why don't we take a leisurely stroll?"

"Okay! What Shopkeeper Zhou said just now made my head dizzy. Now that we have some quiet time, let's take a closer look.

You know what, the crops here are growing really well.”

The two of them walked around for a long time and chatted with the men who were farming for a while.

The two then prepared to return to town.

There was no urgency this time, so Zhang Juexia asked the driver to drive slower.

When passing by the same place again, Zhang Juexia looked outside deliberately, but did not see the two people she was familiar with.

So she simply lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Shopkeeper Yao saw who she was looking for, "What? Did you meet someone you know?"

"We did run into someone we knew when we were leaving town."

"Then ask them to drive the carriage slower."

The carriage turned a corner and went to another street. Halfway through, Zhang Juexia finally saw Qin Eryong mixed in the crowd.

"Manager Yao, I have some personal matters to attend to. Please be patient and wait until I return to discuss the land purchase."

"Then go ahead, be careful!"

"knew!"

Qin Eryong was trying hard to sell soap to some women. When Zhang Juexia stood in front of him, he didn't even look up, but kept repeating, "Come on, take a look, and see if my soap works well.

Sir, look, this soap is not only big, but also cheaper than bath beans, and most importantly, it washes things cleanly."

Zhang Juexia deliberately asked, "How did you sell it?"

Qin Eryong then raised his head and looked at Zhang Juexia in surprise, "Sister-in-law, why is it you? Why are you here?"

Qin Eryong waved his hand, and the bars of soap in front of him fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

He quickly bent down and picked up the soap.

Zhang Juexia waited for him to finish packing. "Is it convenient?"

“Convenient, convenient!”

"Your brother Bei Xiu is not at home at noon today, let's go to the shop to talk!"

"good!"

Zhang Juexia and Qin Eryong entered the shop one after another.

Li Xi saw Qin Eryong was stunned, but soon, Li Xi greeted Qin Eryong with a smile.

Zhang Juexia asked Ding Man to bring her two cups of tea. She was really thirsty after running around outside for almost the whole morning and talking so much.

After the tea came, Zhang Juexia picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

She saw Qin Eryong sitting stiffly, with no intention of drinking the tea in front of him.

"Eryong, we're all acquaintances now, don't be polite! Come on and have some tea!"

Qin Eryong's hand trembled, and the tea in the cup spilled out, "Sister-in-law, I..."
