Silver?
Shi Yu tilted her head and thought for a moment.
[Gua66, how many cabbages, radishes, and mushrooms do we have left?]
Gua66's voice was exaggerated, saying, "So many, so many!"
I planted all the seeds that the old man gave us.
They're growing so fast there's almost no room left to plant them.
"Then we'll reluctantly sell some to the old man."
【but……】
Shi Yu, resting her chin on her hand, pondered in her mind.
What price do you think would be appropriate for us?
Gua66: [Yuyu, I searched online, and decent radishes at the market are only about two or three yuan per pound.]
Our radishes sell for at least 10 coins a pound.
Shi Yu, [No, it should be sold for one tael of silver per catty.]
Gua66's voice startled him instantly.
[Yu Yu, you have the air of a shrewd businesswoman!]
Hehe, then we'll sell it for one tael of silver per pound.
"Ahhh..."
Shi Yu pointed at Shi Yan, urging him to hurry up and translate so as not to delay her money-making business.
Shi Yan spoke to the Imperial Preceptor, saying, "Yu Yu said it's one tael of silver per catty."
One tael of silver per pound?
The muscles on the Imperial Advisor's face twitched subtly.
Wow, that's so cheap! It's like getting a steal!
He opened his mouth and asked cautiously.
"Young friend, could you sell me ten catties first?"
What? Ten pounds?
Shi Yu's small face showed surprise.
Are there really that many people these days who like to eat only leafy greens and radishes?
Or perhaps they're just health-conscious?
Gua66 immediately responded to Shi Yu's words.
"Yu Yu, the Imperial Advisor is getting old, and I'm afraid he won't be able to digest other foods well."
Shi Yu stroked her chin and thought for a while, then nodded suddenly.
I know, older people have weaker digestive systems.
[Eating meat will probably cause constipation.]
Imperial Advisor: ...
“Young friend, if you think 10 jin is too much, we can discuss it.”
The Imperial Advisor smiled obsequiously and immediately changed his tune.
Lest a little baby complain that I'm greedy.
Besides, it's not a good thing to lie to children.
Shi Yu's delicate face suddenly fell.
He turned his body around and whispered to the Grand Preceptor and Gua66, his back to them.
Shi Yu, [Why did the old Grand Tutor suddenly change his tune?]
[Could it be that he thinks we've overpriced it?]
Gua66, [Possibly.]
In the market, one tael of silver can buy a cartload of radishes.
Shi Yu's delicate face showed distress.
Her pink lips were pursed together.
After thinking for a long time, she finally made a major decision.
How about we buy ten pounds and get one pound free?
Make him feel like he didn't lose out!
Gua66: [I think it's okay.]
Shi Yu: [Then I'll have Shi Yan translate it immediately.]
"Ahhhhh..."
Shi Yu waved her little hand again in Shi Yan's direction.
Then, Shi Yan translated.
“Yu Yu said, buy ten catties and get one catty free, but you have to pay in cash.”
"Hehe..." The old imperial advisor laughed, "There's even a discount!"
Wouldn't he have made a profit then?
Knowing that Shi Yu liked shiny, golden things, the Imperial Advisor took out a gold ingot and gave it to her.
When Shi Yu received the gold, he habitually pinched it to check if it was real or fake.
After confirming that the gold was real, Shi Yu hugged it tightly, reluctant to part with it.
[This is so frustrating, she doesn't want to get change!]
The old imperial advisor overheard Shi Yu's thoughts and immediately responded.
"Young friend, it must have been hard for you to carry so many radishes. Consider the rest as a token of your appreciation for your hard work."
"What do you think, young friend?"
The old imperial advisor asked this question with some trepidation.
Don't let this little kid realize what's happening, or you won't sell it to him!
Fortunately, Shi Yu only hesitated for a moment before laughing happily.
"Hehehe..."
The baby's laughter was crisp and melodious, and very pleasant to hear.
He simply shook his clothes and then shook the two large dogs.
In an instant, a pile of 'radishes' fell to the ground.
Shi Yu was still smiling as he held the gold.
Haha, here you go, all of it is yours.
[YuYu made money again today!]
[Gua66, search for the next town. Let's set up a street stall and sell radishes.]
Gua66, [Yuyu, the next town isn't far from us; we should arrive around noon.]
"Hehe..."
Shi Yu laughed even more happily.
Let's go sell radishes and make some money!
Shi Yu patted the big dog beneath him and walked ahead again.
Li Hongzhao was drawn by Shi Yu's laughter and turned around to look.
Then I saw it on the ground...
"That's not..."
Her eyes lit up for a moment, then darkened, and she spurred her horse to turn back.
“Red move.” Baili Tu, who was beside her, reached out and pulled her back.
Li Hongzhao looked at Bailitu with a puzzled expression.
Why are you pulling me?
"Didn't you see that old man shamelessly lying to people again?"
"He even lied to such a cute little darling like Yu Yu. Doesn't his conscience hurt?"
"The Imperial Advisor is not a greedy or selfish person," Baili Tu reminded him.
"The world beyond the Guardian Pillar is even more dangerous, and he probably wants more protection."
"You shameless old bastard, don't ever say you're my master again!"
Although Li Hongzhao listened to Baili Tu's words, she still cursed at the carriage in dissatisfaction.
