Steward Dong regained his confidence and said, "Can we talk about the price of Da Hong Pao now?"
Qian Chunhua frowned and glanced at Butler Dong. So what if he was the richest man? He would still be reluctant to sell Dahongpao even if it was a little less.
“Not for sale.”
There are only ten kilograms of this pure, top-quality Dahongpao in this space. After I traveled through time, I will have to live for at least thirty or forty years. On average, there are only about three taels of tea a year, which is not enough for me. There is still some extra tea to sell.
Not to mention the richest man, even the emperor can’t do it.
"One hundred taels per pound."
This tea shop probably doesn't make more than a hundred taels a year.
Butler Dong just didn't believe that the female manager in front of him would not be tempted.
"I won't sell it." Qian Chunhua's inner pride also rose up. What a joke, he wants to use money to hit himself.
There is chaos and war outside now, and you may not be able to spend the money even if you have it.
"Two hundred taels."
"I won't sell it. I won't sell it. I just won't sell it." Qian Chunhua also became angry.
"Five hundred taels."
“Not for sale.”
…
Butler Dong was overwhelmed by Qian Chunhua's rejection.
What should I do? It seems that I cannot complete the first task assigned by the old lady.
Mrs. Dong, who was coaxing her grandson at the dining table, was also paying attention to what was going on here.
After hearing the housekeeper's offer, Madam Dong frowned. It was really ridiculous. He wanted to buy such top-quality Dahongpao with only one hundred taels of silver.
Even though the butler later raised the price to five hundred taels, Mrs. Dong knew that the price she quoted was too low.
In the past, the price of tea that the housekeeper collected for him was never less than one thousand taels per catty. What happened now?
Thinking that the female shopkeeper was a country girl, the housekeeper underestimated her. It seemed that he was going to be in trouble this time.
Madam Dong shook her head secretly. The family that could produce such top-grade Da Hong Pao must not be ordinary people. They must be the descendants of that hermit master.
Qian Chunhua herself didn't know that in Madam Dong's heart, she had become the descendant of a hermit.
After Butler Dong raised the price again, he raised the price of a pound of Da Hong Pao to one thousand taels. Unexpectedly, the female shopkeeper in front of him still refused to give in.
He was at his wit's end. In such a cold winter, he was sweating profusely.
In fact, Qian Chunhua was tempted by the price of one thousand taels, but thinking that he would never be able to buy it again, he reluctantly refused.
Seeing this, Madam Dong stood up and nodded slightly to Qian Chunhua, "Lady, please come over and sit for a while."
Her attitude was so polite that Butler Dong and Mrs. Dong were surprised.
Butler Dong thought he had seen countless people, but he couldn't see what was so special about this girl. It was just the old lady's attitude that forced Butler Dong to bow down to Qian Chunhua.
"Madam, this way please."
Seeing this, Qian Chunhua came to the table indifferently, bowed to Old Madam Dong, and sat down below Old Madam Dong indifferently.
Madam Dong had a faint smile on her face. "Please forgive me, young lady. It's all my fault that I saw this exquisite Da Hong Pao and loved it so much that I wanted to take it for myself. Now that I think about it, this action was too much. I was rude to you, young lady, please forgive me."
Such a polite old lady, let alone Madam Dong, even Madam Wu who follows behind Madam Dong has not been seen for many years.
As the person in charge of household expenses in the richest man's family, the entire Min Dynasty was full of people trying to curry favor with Madam Dong, and no one had ever seen Madam Dong be so polite to anyone.
For the first time, Mrs. Dong looked at Qian Chunhua with confusion.
