Chapter 282: All profiteers are profiteers
Feixue could understand human language, and it swooped down to grab Li Fengxing.
Su Nuan quickly shouted, "Wait, I'll give you one of the grilled fish over there."
Feixue finally chose the food and let Li Fengxing go.
Li Fengxing patted his chest in fear. He knew that if he was caught by Feixue, he would be smashed into a meat pie.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Come here quickly."
Li Fengxing straightened his appearance and then walked to Su Nuan.
Su Nuan said, "These are Lu Bafang and Lu Bayue from the West Sea Kingdom."
"This is the treasurer of Sifang City. He has full authority to negotiate business on my behalf."
"After all, I don't know how to do business, and I don't understand the rules, so you two are better off talking."
Lu Bafang bowed to Li Fengxing and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Let's sit down and talk."
Li Fengxing smiled and said, "What are you talking about? If you have something to say, tell me."
Lu Bafang said: "She doesn't know how to talk business at all. I think she is more suitable to be a robber and rob people of their money."
Li Fengxing asked, "How did you rob money? Tell me about it."
Lu Bafang said like a child complaining, "At first I asked her how much the barbecue cost, and she said one or two taels of silver."
"I think one ounce of silver per pound is not bad. After all, I've never smelled anything so fragrant. It must be delicious."
"When I took out my purse and said I had it, she said one ounce of silver. Isn't this robbery?"
Su Nuan curled her lips. She had spent a lot of money to grill the meat herself, so one tael of silver was a bargain.
Li Fengxing looked at Su Nuan in astonishment. "One ounce of silver for one ounce of meat?"
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Yes."
Is this guy trying to sabotage us? It would be better not to let him come.
Seeing Li Fengxing's expression, Lu Bafang laughed, "Is this robbery? This is the worst kind of thing, right?"
Li Fengxing, however, showed an expression of disappointment, pointing at Su Nuan and saying, "You really are... a spendthrift. One ounce of silver is one ounce of silver. You've lost a lot."
Lu Bafang looked at Li Fengxing dumbfounded. What did he mean? Could this price be even lower?
Li Fengxing said angrily, "We have carefully raised sheep, fish, and pigs. The raw meat alone is worth more than one ounce of silver, not to mention such precious spices. Oh... It's a good thing I came, otherwise you would have ruined our family."
Su Nuan, “…”
You keep making it up, you keep making it up.
Ling Yun simply lowered his eyes and ate the fish wholeheartedly. He couldn't get a word in. It turned out that Li Fengxing was the one who was cut out for business.
Lu Bayue was anxious, "No, Sister Nuan said that the seasoning is one tael of silver per tael, I want to buy it."
"I...I've decided now. I'll buy the finished product and open a restaurant when I get back. With this seasoning for barbecue, my business will definitely be good."
Li Fengxing said with regret, "Alas...you're such a spendthrift...it's a huge loss."
Su Nuan wanted to laugh but couldn't, so she had to hold it in, and as a result, her face looked very bad.
Lu Bayue looked at Su Nuan with tears in her eyes, pulling her sleeve and shaking her, "Good sister, you can't go back on your word."
Su Nuan took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I won't regret it, but I can only sell you the seasonings I personally own. The rest are government-owned, so you can buy them from him."
Lu Bayue asked worriedly, "What's the official price? I'm afraid I can't afford it."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "You ask him. I'm afraid he'll beat me if I tell him nonsense."
Li Fengxing's mouth twitched. He thought, "You must be joking. How dare he hit Su Nuan? If she just moved a finger, he would die in eighteen ways."
He said seriously, "There aren't many spices here. They must be carefully prepared and mixed in precise proportions. Otherwise, you won't be able to achieve this kind of fragrance."
"You can only get 60% of the flavor from the recipe you bought. If you want the ultimate flavor, you have to buy the finished product."
"According to the amount used for one... ahem, one sheep, that would be ten taels of silver."
"But you guys can't sell a roasted lamb for ten taels of silver, right? I remember the regular price of a roasted lamb in the West Sea Country is twenty to fifty taels of silver."
"Also, sheep are the main meat you eat there. They are plentiful, and the cost of one sheep is only one or two taels of silver."
"Also, the offal can be used to make mutton soup. Even if we give this soup away for free, we can still make money."
Su Nuan was so stunned that she couldn't close her mouth after hearing this. He was indeed a big profiteer. When he mentioned one tael of silver, she felt that he was robbing her. But he actually mentioned one tael of ten taels of silver without changing his expression.
Lu Bayue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll buy the seasoning at ten taels of silver per tael. Like you said, I can still make a lot of money after deducting the cost."
"But we throw away the sheep's offal. Can we eat it?"
Su Nuan took out a bamboo tube from her bag and said, "This is the mutton soup I made this morning. Try it."
Lu Bayue took it, sniffed it, and his eyes lit up. "Is this mutton soup? It's not smelly at all, and it has a special fragrance."
Lu Bamian's expression changed. He reached out to grab the bamboo tube, sniffed it, and took a sip. Then his frown relaxed.
“It’s delicious.”
Lu Bayue screamed in anger, "Lu Bafang, you want to die? You stole my food again."
Lu Bafang glanced sideways, "Idiot."
Su Nuan suddenly understood why Lu Bafang wanted to snatch Lu Bayue's food. He was protecting Lu Bayue, fearing that she would eat something addictive.
At this moment, Su Nuan was touched by the friendship between the two siblings, and said with a conscience: "Li Fengxing, how about giving it a discount?"
Li Fengxing rubbed his right index finger and thumb together and said indifferently, "Then how much cheaper can you say it can be?"
Fortunately, I didn’t say one or two taels of silver just now, but changed it to the amount needed for a sheep.
Who knew Su Nuan was so black, one tael of silver for one tael of seasoning, how dare she say that! But it happened to be the price she wanted to say.
Now the price has risen to ten taels of silver, but people still want to buy it and buy it with gratitude. This girl is a profiteer.
Su Nuan asked tentatively: "How about eight taels of silver, so that her cost can be reduced to ten taels of silver."
Li Fengxing snorted coldly, "Since you need to mix the seasonings anyway, you need to prepare more to make up for the price difference."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, okay, I can still do it even if I sleep one less hour at night."
Lu Bayue said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, you are so kind. Next time I will definitely bring you a lot of local specialties."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for my sister's specialty."
Li Fengxing snorted and looked at Lu Bafang, "What business do you have?"
"If not, then you guys chat, I'm going back."
Lu Bafang pondered for a moment and said, "I'd better talk to you. I'm afraid the price won't be right after I talk to her."
In his mind, when discussing business, one must talk to the person who can make the final decision; it is useless to talk to anyone else.
Li Fengxing started to take Qiao and asked indifferently, "We experienced a flood here, so we simply rebuilt the city. We have a lot of good things that we can't use for the time being. I wonder if you have anything you can exchange with me."
Lu Bafang felt relieved when he saw his arrogant attitude. Only those who can make the final decision are qualified to be arrogant.
He smiled and said, "I'll ask them to bring the goods to you for your inspection."
