Chapter 312 Yuemu Country
Yue Muren didn't expect that the diners would speak up for the waiter.
After all, they had yelled at the waiter like this when they were in town before.
But the shopkeeper will always be careful and smiling, not to mention that there will be someone who comes out to stand up for the injustice.
People born in the Yuemu era are all bullies who fear the strong and bully the weak. When they saw so many people glaring at them, they immediately restrained themselves and put on a smiling face.
"What a misunderstanding! What a misunderstanding! We're not here to cause trouble. We heard the food in Heihe Village is delicious, so we're eager to try it! Since the stall has closed, we can eat there tomorrow!"
Then he asked his men to buy some midnight snacks.
Seeing that they had given in, the guests ignored them.
Ye Yanping was about to leave when he was stopped by the leader, Yue Mu Ren, "Waiter, I want to see your boss!"
"There is no shopkeeper in Heihe Village. If you have any questions, just tell me."
"No shopkeeper? Can you make the decision?"
"Sir, please tell me what you think." Ye Yanping said, "I can make the decision on small matters, but I will consult the village head for instructions on big matters."
Leader Yue Mutou said arrogantly, "We came all the way to Heihe Village to do business with you. We're interested in your peppers and vegetables!"
Ye Yanping smiled and said, "This... not only you gentlemen like it, but everyone likes it. However, we don't plan to sell it."
"Don't reject me so quickly," said the Yuemu leader. "We want to bring them back to Yuemu so that the Yuemu people can also taste this delicacy! Please help us!"
Ye Yanping said, "To be honest, sir, we only have enough peppers and other vegetables to supply the town at the moment, so this deal cannot be done."
"We can offer a higher price than them! Instead of supplying to the town, why not supply to us?"
"Sir, this isn't a question of price," Ye Yanping explained patiently. "We don't want these ingredients to leave Xianchuan County just yet. If you want to do business with our village, why not wait until the right time?"
"Idiot!" Leader Yue Mu slammed the table with a sullen face. "We're willing to double the price so you can earn more money! But you disagree. What are you thinking?"
The guests were startled again and gathered around.
"Hey! Yue Mu people! You guys are going to cause trouble today, right?"
"I'm afraid that just a few of you aren't enough for us to beat you up!"
Leader Yue Mutou immediately put on a smile. "Everyone, he's being unreasonable! I wanted to do business with Heihe Village and help them earn more money, but he refused without even a second thought!"
Ye Yanping said patiently, "I've already explained it, why don't you understand? Someone in the capital wanted to discuss business with us before, but we turned them down! It's not like we're targeting you specifically!"
The guests naturally sided with Heihe Village. "Business requires mutual consent. If Heihe Village doesn't want to sell to you, can you force it?"
"We sincerely want to cooperate with Heihe Village." Yue Mutou suddenly stood up and bowed humbly at a full ninety degree. "Please give us a chance, Heihe Village!"
The others also stood up and bowed 90 degrees, "Please give us a chance!"
Ye Yanping said anxiously: "No, it's not possible. It's useless for you to bow!"
I don't know why, but I always feel uneasy when dealing with people born under the sign of Yuemu.
"Don't force us, guests who have come from afar." Zhao Xingjian came over with Xiao Jiuer. "Heihe Village has its own considerations. If you want to cooperate, there may be an opportunity next year."
"Are you the leader of Heihe Village?" Yue Mutou stood up straight. "We've come all this way, and we don't want to go back empty-handed. Perhaps you could sell us some seeds, not much, just one or two ounces. That would be fine, right?"
"You can't afford it!" Little Dumpling suddenly said.
Only then did Yue Mutou notice that there was a little kid standing next to him, so he smiled and said, "Kid, you said I can't afford it?"
"Yes! Planting some is very expensive!"
"Tell me, how expensive is it?"
“It’s so expensive!”
The little dumpling stretched out his two little palms.
"ten?"
Yue Mutou, with his big belly sticking out, laughed heartily. "You mean ten taels of silver for one or two taels of seeds? That's no problem, deal!"
"You, miss Damei!" The little dumpling pouted and said word by word, "Xi--Wan--"
The leader was stunned and frowned: "One hundred thousand?"
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "However, if the 100,000 taels includes all the vegetable seeds, I can accept it!"
"I'm not done yet!" Little Dumpling waved his hands, "Listen up! Don't wear a silver table, wear a gold table! If you want a table worth ten thousand gold, change it to one or two kinds of tables!"
"Don't talk nonsense, little kid!" the leader said angrily, "I need the real price!"
"She didn't say anything nonsense. This is the price. One hundred thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for one or two kinds of seeds." Zhao Xingjian said calmly.
The muscles on Yue Mutou's face twitched violently. "Are you trying to make fun of me?"
Everyone laughed. "What do you mean by joking with you? If someone offered you a price and you couldn't afford it, how can that be joking with you?"
"Hmph!" Leader Yue Muto slammed the table. "How can you, the people of Dayu, treat us guests who have come from afar like this? You are not a country of etiquette at all!"
"You are too kind, sir." Zhao Xingjian said calmly.
"You're unwilling to give up despite our repeated rejections. You must know the value of these emerging vegetables. You and I both know how precious their seeds are.
Heihe Village offered this price, which means it is worth it. It is up to you whether to buy it or not. There is no disrespect involved."
Yue Mutou's lips pursed tightly together, and he said gloomily, "No one can afford to buy your seeds!"
"This isn't Heihe Village's fault. Perhaps you should reflect on why you can't afford it and whether you're not working hard enough."
After Zhao Xingjian finished speaking, he took Xiao Jiuer's hand and left.
The other guests laughed and returned to their seats to continue eating and drinking.
The people of Yuemu Country looked at each other, and surprisingly, they did not continue to be angry.
Instead, he sat down again as if nothing had happened, had his midnight snack, asked for a few rooms, and went in to rest.
After eating, the guests returned to their rooms to wash up and go to bed.
The villagers of Heihe Village returned to the village after finishing their work.
The moon was at its zenith, and everything except the villagers on guard on the city wall had fallen asleep.
At this moment, the door of an inn opened silently, and a black shadow flashed by and disappeared in an instant.
Ye family.
The light in Ye Buwei's room was still on.
Luo Qiuyue blew on the wooden fish, then wiped it carefully with a handkerchief and sighed softly, "Muyu, oh Muyu, you're going to be beaten again."
Ye Buwei sat under the lamp, his angular face looking calm.
"In my early years, I visited the Moonwood Kingdom. Although this country is small, its people are ambitious, greedy, and warlike. They are cunning and sinister at heart, and their methods are cruel.
The strangest thing is that the women of this country appear gentle and virtuous on the surface, but secretly they constantly encourage and instigate the men in their families to go out and conquer and plunder. The Yuemu Kingdom may become a great threat."
Luo Qiuyue curled her lips and put down the wooden fish. "Hearing what you said, tonight I will just do justice for the heavens. There is no need to strike this wooden fish."
