As a cunning merchant, Liu Quan was quite adept at flattery, especially with his very sincere expressions.
Su Jin grinned and said modestly, "It's just a coincidence, maybe I was just lucky."
Liu Quan then said, "What I envy most is good luck. Nowadays, a pound of ice grass is worth four taels of silver. This girl can really make a lot of money."
Su Jin tilted her head slightly, "How come I heard it's already five taels?"
"Really?" Liu Quan pretended not to know and went to look at the herb farmer.
The herb farmer looked embarrassed for a moment, then laughed and said, "It seems the price just went up this morning."
Liu Quan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Five taels it is. I'll buy whatever you have, young lady!"
Before Su Jin could say anything, Liu Quan had already set the price.
Su Jin smiled slightly and raised a finger to shake it.
"How much to sell it for isn't up to you, it's up to me?"
Liu Quan was afraid that Su Jin would take advantage of the situation to demand a high price. He thought he could easily fool a little girl, but he didn't expect her to be so clever.
Liu Quan dropped the flattery and said calmly, "In this business, there are rules. Prices are set according to the rules, aren't they?"
Su Jin sneered inwardly. It was truly ridiculous that someone who didn't follow the rules was trying to intimidate others with them.
Su Jin shrugged and said dismissively, "If that's the case, let's sell it in a couple of days. Anyway, the epidemic has only just begun and it's spreading fast, so the price will definitely go up. I'm not in a hurry."
Liu Quan's expression darkened, and he narrowed his eyes. Su Jin was right; the epidemic was about to continue to spread, and the ice-accumulating grass would continue to grow wildly.
"Young lady, you have a great business mind at such a young age. If you keep the goods unsold, countless people will miss their treatment and die because of this!"
"Oh!" Su Jin suddenly realized, "That's right, why is Manager Liu unwilling to buy it at a high price to treat the people? I'll let you be the great philanthropist!"
Liu Quan...
With a sigh, Liu Quan realized that Su Jin was a shrewd and greedy person, and not wanting to waste any more time, he asked directly, "How many girls do you have? How much do you want to sell them for?"
Su Jin smiled, revealing her teeth, "Listen carefully, if you buy 20 jin, I'll sell it to you at the current market price of 1.5 taels of silver per jin; if you buy 50 jin, I'll sell it to you at 1.8 taels of silver per jin; if you buy 80 jin, I'll sell it to you at 10 taels of silver per jin."
Liu Quan frowned, his fat face shrinking into a ball. "I've never heard of this girl's way of selling things. How can the more you buy, the more expensive it is?"
