A few more days passed. During these days, Lu Yuan would call Chen Ke every day to inquire about the land. However, in order to lower the price, Chen Ke and the others devised a plan to stall them. The other side did not have much food, and there were hundreds of people. Feeding hundreds of mouths every day would be an extremely difficult task.
However, Chen Ke and his team did not have such worries. The two convoys consisted of only five vehicles and a small number of people. Their daily consumption was limited, so they could afford to wait.

This time, the balance of the negotiation shifted in Chen Ke's favor. After all, not being controlled by others gives one an advantage in negotiations. Although the other party demanded that the price of ten pigs be reduced to nine, Chen Ke gradually increased the price from three pigs.
The final price was set at five heads, and Lu Yuan was overjoyed upon hearing it.
"Brother Lu, you don't really have that many pigs, do you? That's five pigs! Not five bags of rice!"
"Don't worry, I'll figure something out. You sign the contract first, and I'll send it to you later."
