Chapter 444: Low Price Deal
The shopkeeper's face instantly fell to the bottom. After changing several times, he regained his composure and said, "You are taking advantage of the situation. I have to sell my hides for fifty taels of silver each. You have made me earn even less than one tael of silver. What else can I sell?"
Hearing this, Jia Yanbing just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Then please think about it again, boss. We will live in the inn in front. If you have made up your mind, send someone to find us. By the way, we have to leave early tomorrow morning, and we will not wait for you later."
After saying this, Jia Yanbing slowly stood up with one hand on the table and winked at Wan Laoer.
Wan Laoer hadn't reacted yet, but Fubao saw Jia Yanbing's little move. She immediately turned around and hugged Wan Laoer's neck, saying softly, "Dad, let's go. This shopkeeper is dishonest. Let's not do business with him anymore."
Wan Laoer looked down at his daughter, not knowing what she meant, but since she wanted to leave, he couldn't keep her any longer, and Jia Yanbing had already stood up.
He had no reason to stay any longer, and he also felt that ninety taels was too expensive. Fortunately, the deal didn't go through, and Wan Laoer felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
The shopkeeper was a little annoyed when he saw Jia Yanbing got up and left without even a chance for negotiation, and he was also being laughed at by a little girl.
At this time, Jia Yanbing stopped at the door, turned his head slightly and looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, we came from the city, and we met soldiers several times on the way. I wonder what they are investigating? Shopkeeper, do you know?"
After Jia Yanbing finished speaking, he didn't stay and walked out. The shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat.
"Please stay, let's talk about the price. I really want to lose money for the 40 taels you mentioned. How about this? You want me to lose less? I'll give you 45 taels each."
Jia Yanbing showed a calm smile at the corner of his lips, without stopping at all. Wan Laoer was a little hesitant. He looked at the skins with envy. If he bought them for 45 taels, such good skins, he could go to the capital and sell them for 100 taels each, and earn 55 taels. Twenty skins would be more than 1,000 taels. What's the difference between this and picking up money?
Wan Laoer was moved, but since Jia Yanbing didn't say anything, he didn't dare to stop. He followed behind in small steps, but secretly glanced back.
The shopkeeper's face looked extremely ugly at this moment. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was calculating in his mind. It was already the coldest time of winter and the best-selling season for leather had passed. It was not cost-effective to keep such good leather in the bottom of the box. Moreover, the leather was too eye-catching. There was also the unique logo of this caravan on the leather, but it was relatively obscure and not easy to be noticed. That's why he said that just now, just to make the other party feel that he had picked up a bargain. However, he didn't expect that this person was so powerful and saw through his trick at a glance.
If what this man said was true, and soldiers came to search, not only would he not be able to get his money back, but his shop would probably be sealed up, and he would also have to face lawsuits.
"Forty-two taels, this is my final price, otherwise I would rather destroy these leathers."
Jia Yanbing then stopped and said, "Forty-one taels, this is the highest price I can offer."
The shopkeeper could only nod his head helplessly in the end. In fact, he had paid forty taels of silver for the leather when he bought it, and now he could earn one tael of silver for each piece. For him, this was more painful than eating flies. He had gotten a batch of good goods with great trepidation, but missed the good time.
Those who come to the border to collect furs usually come in the summer. When the furs are transported to various places, it is a good time to make winter clothes. There are not many caravans traveling through the border at this time of year.
This also made these people come at the right time. He happened to have good stuff in his hands, and this batch of good stuff was being coveted by someone, so he had to act quickly. All the coincidences were to benefit these people.
Finally, the shopkeeper sold the twenty skins to Jia Yanbing for forty-one taels of silver each.
The twenty pieces of skin weighed a total of eight hundred and twenty taels. In the end, Jia Yanbing used his shameless skills to ask the shopkeeper to find two more sheepskins for him.
After leaving the fur shop, Wan Laoer still felt as if he was dreaming. He was confused. How did the price drop from one hundred taels to forty-one taels?
He didn't hear what Jia Yanbing said, but the shopkeeper took the initiative to lower the price, which made him a little confused.
At this time, Jia Yanbing's physical strength was severely exhausted, and he was finally carried back to the inn by Wan Laoer.
After settling Jia Yanbing down, Wan Laoer asked the innkeeper to cook a few dishes and send them to the room, while he took Jia Yanbing's medicine to the back to boil it.
While decocting the medicine, Wan Laoer was still thinking about what had just happened. He felt that negotiating the price was easier than eating or drinking, and he could do it. Isn't it just naming a price, and if the other party disagrees, he stands up and leaves. If the other party quotes another price, and he thinks it's not appropriate, he can continue to leave?
Wan Laoer felt as if he had mastered the art of negotiation, and he was in high spirits when he was decocting the medicine.
When he brought the medicine into the room, he found Fubao sleeping beside Jia Yanbing's bed. This girl was easy-going and could fall asleep anywhere. When she felt sleepy, she could sleep soundly while holding a bowl.
Wan Laoer put the medicine on the table and gently carried Fubao back to the room. When he came back, he saw that Jia Yanbing had woken up.
Jia Yanbing was a light sleeper, especially after something happened at home, he slept even less, often falling asleep at cockcrow and waking up at sunrise.
The sound of Wan Laoer coming in and opening the door woke him up from his sleep.
"Is the girl asleep?" Jia Yanbing asked Wan Laoer with his dark eyes.
"Let's sleep. This girl sleeps well and is very strong." Wan Laoer said as he picked up the medicine bowl on the table and wanted to feed Jia Yanbing the medicine.
"No, I can do it myself."
Jia Yanbing was helped up by Wan Laoer with one hand. He took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one breath without frowning.
"Are you going to change your name in the future? I think your fake name is not good. It's easy for people to guess it."
Wan Laoer thought of the fake name Jia Yanbing gave and gave a sincere suggestion.
Jia Yanbing thought for a moment and said, "Then you can call me Mr. Yan from now on."
"Well, this is fine."
Wan Laoer put the empty bowl on the table, and at this time the restaurant owner brought the dishes.
Wan Laoer helped Jia Yanbing sit at the table. Strangely enough, after just lying on the bed for a while, he actually felt much better.
Wan Laoer likes to talk while eating, but when he saw Jia Yanbing's posture and movements while eating, he immediately stopped talking. They are both eating, so how can they do it so well?
Wan Laoer couldn't help but imitate it, but gave up after imitating it for a while. He couldn't do it, so he just ate it with big mouthfuls.
Jia Yanbing raised his eyes and glanced at Wan Laoer, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he continued to eat with his head down.
