Chapter 437 The Matter Da Niu Cares About
Shu Yu smiled and held up three fingers. "This number."
“Three…thirty taels?” Da Niu gasped.
Shu Yu, "..."
She rubbed her forehead. "Brother Da Niu, I've noticed that ever since you went to the black market, you've stopped treating money like it's money. Before, you would hesitate even if you said three taels, but now you can just blurt out thirty taels."
Da Niu coughed lightly, "So how much exactly?"
"Thirty coins."
? ? !! !
This time, Da Niu was speechless. He slowly took two deep breaths and said, "Old Master Yuan went to so much trouble to dig up this treasure, and you're willing to sell it for thirty coins?"
Shu Yu said smugly, "It mainly depends on who buys it. Of course, it's not enough if someone else buys it. You don't know, he originally planned to take it to a pawn shop and asked for a hundred taels, but he was kicked out."
Da Niu said, "I would have kicked him out too." One hundred taels of silver, something nobody recognized, and he really dared to say that.
However, Ayu was really daring in his bargaining, cutting the price down from one hundred taels to thirty coins.
Da Niu muttered, "No wonder Boss Yuan has been lurking around your house these past few days, looking for Fourth Uncle."
Shu Yu frowned. "The Yuan family is still bothering Fourth Uncle?"
"How could we not go? Fourth Uncle has gained the favor of the county magistrate and even became a Douji (a high-ranking official). Not to mention the Yuan family, everyone else is eager to get on his good side. Even the distant relatives we haven't contacted in a long time have come out. The problem is that these people have no sense of propriety at all. They're still saying that the Yuan family elders know they were wrong and asking Fourth Uncle to forgive them. It's so annoying to hear."
"What did Fourth Uncle say?"
Da Niu snorted, "Fourth Uncle had them kicked out directly. The more those people tried to persuade him, the more resentful he became. After the Yuan family came to visit several times, they were scolded away by Village Chief Chen. They didn't show up in Shangshi Village yesterday, I wonder if they've given up."
Nobody can say for sure about these things.
However, as long as Yuan Shanchuan remains steadfast in his stance, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Shu Yu couldn't say much; let's see what the future holds.
After finishing their business here, Shu Yu went inside, took out sunflower seeds, and gave a dozen or so to Da Niu.
“Brother Da Niu, this is what we bought from Boss Yuan. Take it back and try planting it first. If it grows well, we’ll buy land and plant a large area. Once it grows, it’s very easy to manage. It only needs watering once per growth cycle, which is much simpler than growing fruit trees or grains.”
Da Niu's eyes lit up. "That easy?"
"Yes, that's why I said it's a good thing. Once it's grown well, both the fruit and the flowers are very valuable." Mainly because it's unique in the entire Great Su Dynasty, so it can be sold for a high price.
Da Niu looked at the sunflower seeds in front of him with some appreciation. He was good at farming and he would definitely grow these seeds someday.
But soon he frowned and said, "But if this stuff grows and Boss Yuan sees it, won't he know we bought the seeds?"
"It's okay, we can say we bought it from someone else, and at a high price."
After thinking about it, Da Niu didn't say anything more.
Just then, the old lady called out to them from afar, "Ayu, Da Niu, what are you two saying? Come here quickly."
Da Niu quickly put away the sunflower seeds and walked into the main room with Shu Yu.
As soon as Shu Yu entered, she asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
