Manager He's eyelids twitched; what a waste of such fine tea. He inwardly grumbled, but outwardly maintained a friendly smile.
"Mr. Su, do you have that superior pregnancy fruit with you at the moment?"
"nature!"
Su Qinghe reached into her pocket, actually taking out the Pregnancy Fruit from her spatial storage and handing it to Steward He.
"Take a look."
He Bai quickly took it with both hands, his eyes shining as he examined it. After confirming that there were no problems, he looked up at Su Qinghe.
"I wonder what price Mr. Su is looking to sell it for?"
"How much does Manager He think it should sell for?"
High-quality pregnant fruits are extremely rare on the market, and Su Qinghe was unsure how many to sell, so she simply passed the question on to Manager He.
“Hmm… Our Qin family won’t take advantage of Boss Su.” He Bai pondered for a long time.
“Every few years, the Mu family shops in the capital would sell a batch of top-grade pregnancy fruits, which would be snapped up by the powerful and wealthy in the capital almost as soon as the news broke.”
"Their price is 600 taels. But Boss Su's pregnancy fruit is better than theirs in every way, so we're thinking of offering 700 taels to buy your pregnancy fruit. What do you think of this price?"
As He Bai spoke, he observed Su Qinghe's expression. Seeing that she did not show any dissatisfaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Manager He is a very straightforward person. I have no objection to this price."
After Su Qinghe finished speaking, she took the medium-sized pregnant fruit from the basket and handed it to Steward He. She smiled and said:
"This is the fertility fruit you wanted to buy earlier. Since you're so generous, I'll give it to you as a gift!"
"What... does it mean that Steward Qi from the government office doesn't want it anymore?"
"Of course not. She wanted to buy my pregnancy fruit at the original price, so I didn't plan to sell it to her," Su Qinghe said calmly to Steward He.
"Hmph! That Qi Li has never been a good person. Boss Su has offended her this time, and she will definitely not let it go."
"If she comes to cause you trouble, you can come to the Commandant's residence to find me."
He Bai extended an olive branch to Su Qinghe, intending to befriend her not only because she had cultivated exceptionally high-quality fertilized fruit, but also because she had managed to escape unscathed from Qi Li's clutches.
She knew Qi Li's character well, and there must have been a fight between them. Su Qinghe was able to survive the attack by so many people unharmed and even retrieve the Pregnancy Fruit, so she must be exceptionally skilled.
Judging from her way of handling things, she should be a decent person. If the Commandant's Office can get along well with her, it will definitely be beneficial.
"Thank you very much, Manager He!"
Su Qinghe knew He Bai's intentions and did not refuse. She had already offended the county government. In Tianhe County, the only one who could not be afraid of the county government was the Commandant's Office. If she could have such a backer in the future, she could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
...
West Street.
Su Qinghe put the 700 taels of silver notes into her spatial storage, leaving only 9 taels of loose silver in her pocket.
Now she has to deal with the most important thing in her life!
West Street was where human traffickers gathered. It was almost noon, and there were only a few scattered people on the street. Even the human traffickers had gone to eat.
Su Qinghe walked to several stalls but saw no one there. It wasn't until she reached a corner that she saw a stall with people still there.
"Boss, are these the only two people left here?"
This is the only place on the street where people are still doing business, but there are only two men at the stall, one of whom is lying unconscious on the ground, and it's unknown whether he's dead or not.
The man was dozing off when he was startled by Su Qinghe's voice. He quickly wiped his drool and stood up.
"Yes, Your Majesty is late. These are the only two people left in this batch of goods. If it weren't for them, I would have closed up shop long ago. Please take a look."
Su Qinghe walked up to the man who was still standing there, reached out and brushed aside the hair that was covering half of his face, revealing a scar about the length of a finger on his right cheek.
The man didn't look like a teenager, but his exposed skin was very fair, and his high nose bridge and slightly upturned lips made him look both resolute and gentle, with a rather delicate appearance.
He has a tall and slender figure, and even though he is dressed in tattered coarse linen clothes, his gentle and refined temperament cannot be concealed.
They're probably not ordinary people.
Su Qinghe touched the scar with her hand, and the man in front of her suddenly turned his head away.
"What are you hiding for? Stand still! If no one buys you today, even if you're disfigured, I'll sell you to a brothel for a pittance. What's with all the pretense about a defiled woman!"
Seeing that the man was ungrateful, the man angrily grabbed his hair, turned his head back to Su Qinghe, and smiled at her:
"Hehe, Lady, although this man is disfigured and not exactly clean, he used to be the legitimate husband of a wealthy family, pampered with delicacies every day, and in excellent health."
"Just as I expected," Su Qinghe thought to herself.
"If you buy it to use for work, there will be absolutely no problem."
"At the very least, if you want... hehe, with a mask on, this body can still give you a daughter!"
The man was enthusiastically promoting his product, spitting as he spoke. Seeing that Su Qinghe remained expressionless and showed no sign of being interested, he gritted his teeth and said again:
"I know this person can't compare to those cleaner ones. How about this, buy one get one free. I'll sell this person to you cheaply, and I'll also give you the one next to him for free. It'll be 500 coins in total. What do you think?"
After the man finished speaking, he walked up to the person lying on the ground and revealed his face.
"Your Majesty, look! What a beauty! If you heal her, you'll be very fortunate!"
Su Qinghe looked at the person on the ground and saw that she was indeed a beauty.
Su Qinghe squatted down and checked his breathing. She found that he was breathing more in than out, and frowned.
