After rebirth, I became the villain’s sister-in-law Bai Yueguang

Chapter 34 Bargaining
The look of regret on the steward's face was so obvious that Jiang Wancheng could see it.

She was very confused. Could it be that the steward felt that she had turned her leg too obviously?
Steward: "I will give you five taels of silver. Are you satisfied with it?"

This number naturally did not reach Jiang Wancheng's psychological deadline.

In the Liang Dynasty, one tael of silver could be exchanged for one thousand cash.

A thousand coins is indeed enough for a family to have food and clothing for a month or two.

However, Liang Dynasty's literary works and medicinal materials were very expensive.

Let’s talk about the ink first. One tael of silver can buy a stack of ordinary paper.

But if it’s rice paper, you can only buy it for half a dollar.

The better pen and ink cost two taels of silver per set.

Again, it costs one, two, three, or so.

Better things are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Not to mention books, if you go to the bookstore and don't have three or four taels of silver in your pocket, you won't dare to go in.

Let's talk about medical care. Ordinary people can't afford to get sick. If the family is too poor and their child gets sick and has a fever, they can get through it by picking some medicine.

If you can't get through it, the child will die if he says he has no bowel movement.

There is also a barefoot doctor in the countryside. If he can collect herbs and cook them, he can also benefit the countryside.

But there are too few doctors with such good skills who are willing to stay in the countryside.

Dr. Zhao, whom Orion hired for Jiang Wencheng before, also works in this town on weekdays, and occasionally returns to his hometown to visit relatives. He is also willing to treat the villagers, but not every household can afford the consultation fee.

That day, Orion invited Dr. Zhao to visit him, and he spent a total of five taels of silver including medicine.

Jiang Wancheng owed Orion such a huge favor, so he naturally wanted to make more money.

Jiang Wancheng was quick-thinking and replied in an instant: "I wonder if your five taels of silver, steward, should come from this basket or from the basket?"

In the basket, there are more of the most expensive matsutake mushrooms and morels, while in the backpack, there are all kinds of fungi, but less of these two.

When the steward heard this, his eyes widened.

This girl is really thoughtful.

She actually thought that the five taels he gave her was too low?
In this Qingyang Town, there is no one who can give more than him! ?

If she didn't sell it to him, the Wang family would come and dig it out for her. Wouldn't it be like trying to get nothing out of a bamboo basket?

The steward persuaded me nicely: "Girl, we have agreed before that I want all your fungi! These fungi of yours are just your own labor. They are all over the mountains and plains, and there is no cost."

"How could you suddenly change your mind and only sell part of me? You have lost your integrity by acting like this!"

As the steward spoke, his face darkened.

There is a posture of, at worst, I don’t want it anymore.

Jiang Wancheng was not afraid of his threat.

He just said: "Manager, you didn't tell me that five taels of silver would buy all my mushrooms, right?"

"You are right. It is true that in this season, especially after the autumn rain, the mountains are full of fungi."

"But apart from me, there should be no one in Qingyang Town who knows so many fungi than me, right?"

Jiang Wancheng also boldly speculated.

The person in charge didn't seem to be afraid of the power of the Wang family, so he dared to collect all her fungi.

But since he dares to eat it, the people under his command should also dare to pick it for him in previous years.

But he said before that in Qingyang Town, he had not had this delicious bite for several years.

So it means that his people don’t know how to collect fungi, let alone recognize so many types of fungi!
Jiang Wancheng continued: "Boss, some of these fungi are common, but some are not common even in Shangjing, right?"

"Let's talk about matsutake and morels. I heard that they can not only be placed on the main table of the homes of high-ranking people, but even important banquets, specially used for entertaining guests."

"Their value should be very valuable, right?" "What do you think?"

The manager in charge got very angry when he heard this!
He says?

He said what a piece of shit he was!He said!

All these words were said by this girl alone, to the point where she was almost convinced by him!
This girl is so eloquent!

However, she was right.

Matsutake and morels are relatively rare and expensive ingredients in Kyoto.

Not only because Shangjing rarely produces these two kinds of fungi, but also because these fungi are in season and are extremely difficult to transport and store. It is not difficult to buy dry goods every year, but the freshest ones are very rare in Shangjing!
So, indeed, who would have gotten a basket of fresh mushrooms like this?
It would only be taken out when entertaining extremely important guests.

But how does she know this?

Has she been to Shangjing?
Her perspective is definitely not that of a country girl from the countryside. Who is she?

The person in charge looked at Jiang Wancheng again, but no matter how he looked, he didn't see any clues.

Her accent is Mandarin, and her behavior doesn't seem to be very decent, but her dress, and even the pair of younger brothers and sisters who follow her, all look simple, even a little sloppy.

The manager let out a sullen breath: "You are quite good at doing business. In that case, you can set your own price!"

He was too lazy to deal with her.

He didn't buy these mushrooms with the intention of eating them alone, and it was not ideal to send them to the Third Master in Beijing. They would all rot before they were delivered.

Therefore, he decided to launch them in limited quantities in the past few days and make a lot of money!
As long as the girl's price isn't too outrageous, so what if he pays?
After Jiang Wancheng thought for a moment, he set a price in his mind: "Ten taels, all the fungi."

Twelve?

It's not like he was shouting all over the sky, but it was twice as much as what he wanted to give before!
The manager felt a pang of heartache.

Then he waved his hand impatiently: "Okay. Ten taels is ten taels, let's go!"

Jiang Wancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she knew in her heart that if these fungi were sold in Shangjing for 100 taels, the rich and powerful would be vying to buy them.

After all, the more expensive fungi are priced but not available in Shangjing.

When she was in Prince Duan's palace in her previous life, Zhang Hexuan had given her a small plate of matsutake mushrooms.

This matter also required Princess Duan to deliberately humiliate and torture her for a period of time.

But this is a small town hundreds of kilometers away from Shangjing.

Being able to sell ten taels is probably a sign of generosity on the part of the manager.

Jiang Wancheng also followed to the gate of Qingyue Tower, and found out that this person turned out to be the steward of Qingyue Tower.

No wonder you can swallow these fungi in one go.

Of course she had also heard of Qingyue Tower in her previous life.

The boss behind it is very mysterious.

Not only did he open a chain of restaurants all over Daliang, I heard that he was also doing business as an imperial merchant.

However, this is fine.

She sells her fungi to Qingyuelou so that the Wang family won't have any more trouble.

After arriving at the back kitchen of Qingyue Building, the two boys followed and started to empty all the fungi.

Jiang Wancheng suddenly remembered something and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute. Manager, can you let me keep some more? This is what I promised to give to an old man."

The manager's eyes widened, but he still wants to keep some of it for himself?

That's what she promised. If she didn't say yes before, he won't agree now!
This girl is sure that she will definitely buy these fungi from her, right? ?
Just as the steward was about to refuse, Jiang Wancheng said again: "I will go into the mountain again tomorrow, and I should dig up some fungi. Do you want more?"
