The stinky tofu vendor laughed.
How much does it cost?
Ye Li asked:
"One piece of rare material!"
The stinky tofu vendor hurriedly raised a finger and said.
"One piece of rare material?"
Ye Li asked in surprise.
Even though people now know that it is impossible to obtain meat from Soul Eater Beasts, and food prices have risen, it is not this exaggerated.
This tiny piece of stinky tofu, no bigger than a mahjong tile and only 5 millimeters thick, costs a piece of refined gold.
"Isn't that too expensive, boss?"
Ye Li asked, frowning.
"It's not expensive at all. This is authentic Lao Yao stinky tofu, and there's probably only one of its kind in the entire area. Besides, food is scarce right now, and some people aren't even able to afford it. This is already a very reasonable price!"
The stinky tofu vendor explained.
"No wonder nobody comes here!"
Ye Li muttered to himself.
Things are valued for their rarity; if something is truly in high demand, it can indeed be more expensive.
However, stinky tofu is something that is optional and not a necessity, yet it has also been priced exorbitantly.
It's a piece of fine gold, and apart from those who have too many resources and nowhere to use them, probably no one would patronize it.
However, seeing Bai Yuekui staring intently at the stinky tofu on the stall, Ye Li still asked, "How much do you have left?"
"Hey, you've come at the right time! I still have 10 yuan left!"
The stinky tofu vendor said with a smile.
Actually, no one bought anything in the past half day.
Even when some people came to inquire, they were all turned away after hearing the price.
Just as Ye Li was about to take out the resources, someone suddenly placed ten portions of rare materials on the stinky tofu vendor's stall.
"How could we let Boss Ye Li spend money on just 10 rare resources? I'll pay for it!" the man said with a fawning smile.
"Who are you?"
Ye Li looked at the man who had suddenly come over. He appeared to be around 30 years old and had very fair skin.
Even their clothes were all white, exactly the same as those worn by the survivors from the White Shark team.
"I'm the captain of the White Shark Racing Team, you can just call me Little Shark!"
The man laughed.
Upon hearing this, the stinky tofu vendor froze, his hand still outstretched as he reached for the supplies.
She stared blankly at the man who was approaching, then glanced at Ye Li.
He was starting to have doubts: What's going on? The captain of the White Shark racing team is being so polite to this man? Oh no, my stuff is so expensive, are they going to kill me? No, I have to get out of here right now!
The stinky tofu vendor was already in a frenzy, so much so that he forgot to tidy up his stall and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Ye Li asked curiously, "Boss, are you still selling your stinky tofu?"
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, the stinky tofu vendor felt as bitter as if he had a gall bladder inside his heart.
"Please pack up my stinky tofu, thank you!"
Ye Li continued.
Yes! Yes!
The stinky tofu vendor nodded as he hurriedly filled a bowl with all the stinky tofu from his stall and handed it to Ye Li.
Ye Li took it and then handed it to Bai Yuekui.
Then he looked at the white shark again and asked, "Who did you say you were?"
"Um, I'm the captain of the White Shark Racing Team, you can just call me Little Shark!"
White Shark hurriedly introduced himself again.
"Oh, the captain of the White Shark team..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li's face immediately darkened.
