Chapter 54



"Of course, the price of mountain products goes up every day, right?"

Hearing Jian Xiu's words, Shopkeeper Wu was stunned for a moment, patted his forehead and laughed: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam Jian, look at my head... it's old, old..."

"Shopkeeper Wu, you are joking. Aren't you the one who is still strong and healthy?"

"Mrs. Jian, you are such a good mouth... But tell me the truth, how much of this mountain product can you buy today?"

"A hundred is a conservative estimate. I calculated that there should be about five hundred!"

"Hiss... Five hundred, can it be a little more?" Wu Mingtang asked again.

"I'll try my best. I can't guarantee more, but I can promise you that no matter how much I have, I will only give you Yuexiang Tower."

"Okay, Madam Jian is really straightforward. I've been waiting for you to say this. So, how much silver do you want to sell for one coin?"

"That depends on the sincerity of Shopkeeper Wu." Jian Xiu kicked the ball over again.

If she were to make the offer, she wanted to offer fifty cents, but fifty cents seemed a bit too much.

The main reason was that she was not sure how much this thing was worth in the eyes of Shopkeeper Wu.

No, it should be said that she was not sure whether this thing was very popular in Yuexiang Tower.

Wu Mingtang obviously didn't expect Jian Xiu to throw this question back to him.

But it's better this way. She is also worried that Jian Xiu's request is too high and she won't be able to accept it.

After thinking for a while, Shopkeeper Wu said, "Sixty coins, at most sixty coins, what do you think, Madam Jian? Are you satisfied with this price? If not..."

"Deal!" Jian Xiu also said the same thing as Shopkeeper Wu just now.

"Hahaha...Mrs. Jian is indeed a generous person. But I still have something to trouble you with."

"Oh? Shopkeeper Wu actually has something to trouble me with? It's really my honor."

Jian Xiu herself also has a good impression of Shopkeeper Wu.

At least he is not an unscrupulous businessman.

Jian Xiu didn't bring many dried bamboo shoots today, only about eighteen in total.

Just these eighteen pieces are enough to sustain Yuexiang Tower for a while.

"Little girl, this is eighteen pieces, sixty coins a piece, which is two taels, two hundred and eighty coins. Please count it and see."

"Don't I trust the character of Shopkeeper Wu?" Jian Xiu said with a smile.

As he said this, he took the silver from Shopkeeper Wu and put it into his pocket.

Seeing this, Wu Mingtang hesitated for a moment and spoke again:

"I would like to trouble Madam Jian to make another wheelchair. I heard from my nephew Xuan that you personally use the wheelchair. I think it is convenient and suitable for my mother to use. So I want to trouble Madam Jian to make another one. But don't worry, Madam Jian, money is not a problem. As long as Madam Jian is willing to help me make it, I will not let you down."

Hearing this, Jian Xiu immediately understood.

Just thinking about what happened to her recently, for a moment, she really didn't know when she could come out.

The money she earned these days was not enough to build a house, and she wanted to send the six-headed and seven-headed brothers to college.

It will take a day to find the college.

And she has to carry the bamboo shoots every day. You know, she just told Shopkeeper Wu that there are about five hundred bamboo shoots.

If the difference is too big, even if Manager Wu doesn't tell her, she will feel bad about it.

"What? Is it difficult to do?" Seeing that Jian Xiu hadn't spoken, Shopkeeper Wu immediately said anxiously.

"No, it's just that the time is short..."

"Hiss, this, can it be done on the 20th?"

After saying this, as if worried that Jian Xiu would refuse again, he continued:

"I'll pay you 20 taels of silver, and you just need to make it within 20 days, okay?"

Two taels of silver was nothing to him, but Wu Mingtang knew that these two taels should be very necessary for Jian Xiu now.

Apart from that, just building the house and Zhang Xuan's legs would probably cost a lot of money.

Not to mention that she has a child?

Hearing these two, Jian Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Two? Isn't that a bit too much?" Jian Xiu asked uncertainly.

After all, this wheelchair is just a little more complicated, but the materials used are basically wood. No matter how you look at it, it is not worth the price.

At least she doesn't need any capital, she just needs to do some work on her own.

You know, in the eyes of ordinary people in Zhangjia Village, two taels of silver is an amount that they can't even save.

"You're too polite, little girl. This is what you deserve. Not to mention that this wheelchair is a new thing, even if it isn't, your creativity and kindness make it worth the money."

"Are you serious, Manager Wu?" Jian Xiu asked with eyes wide open.

"Of course, I am also a businessman! Naturally, I won't do business that makes money."

Hearing what Shopkeeper Wu said, Jian Xiu suddenly had an idea.

His eyes kept rolling around at the restaurant.

After communicating with Jian Xiu several times and seeing her like this, Shopkeeper Wu immediately knew that she must have some ideas.

So he asked directly: "Little girl, what did you think of this?"

"Shopkeeper Wu is indeed a straightforward person. Just now, Shopkeeper Wu said that he is a person with a good heart. I just happen to have a good heart, but I wonder if Shopkeeper Wu is interested?"

"Oh? Why don't you tell me about it, little girl?" Shopkeeper Wu asked with a smile.

The more he got along with Jian Xiu, the more Shopkeeper Wu felt that this woman was not simple.

At least, she is not an ordinary woman.

"Manager Wu is willing to pay two taels of silver to buy this wheelchair from me. Tell me, if I make a few more and put them in your Yuexiang Tower, will any guests be interested in them?"

"Hiss...Jian Xiu, you really have a smart brain, hahaha..."

When he got excited, Shopkeeper Wu stopped calling Jian Xiu "Miss" and started calling her by her name.

"Shopkeeper Wu also thinks this method is very good, right? Then how about this, I won't beat around the bush with you, Shopkeeper Wu. I'll make it and put it in your Yuexiang Tower. Sell it for silver. You and I will take 70% of it. How do you think?"

"I like to do business with straightforward people like you. Okay, it's settled. But how much do you want to sell this wheelchair for?"

"What does Shopkeeper Wu think?"

"Those who can come to my Yuexianglou for dinner are either rich or noble. How about we sell it for two taels of silver first, just like today?"

"Okay, let's do it this way!" Jian Xiu nodded without thinking.

Jian Xiu was also very confident about the character of Shopkeeper Wu.

The few times they have worked together, one can fully see their character.
