Haggling for the second time

  Here is the translation:

  "Bringing you the second update, remember to vote for Liang Tian Tian, okay? Hehe...... ---------- A happy dividing line floats by ----------"

  Chen Chong's reputation in Lao Lang Cave has always been good. As a family of scholars, their home education is also famous for being good in the village.

  "Don't even think about it." Chen San Shu hastily refused, "You're trying to sell something, and there's no adult at home. Life is already tough, I absolutely can't accept yours, don't send any more." The previous time they received something from who-knows-where, afterwards his father grumbled for a long time.

  Liáng Tián tián seemed to have let out a sigh of relief. She was afraid of those greedy people, Chen Jia lao san being like that made her feel at ease.

  Ling Xu gave her a meaningful glance, unexpectedly this little wife at such a young age actually knew how to win people's hearts. Not bad, not bad.

  Liang Tian felt a fiery gaze and when she looked up, she found Ling Xu bowing his head to tidy up the mushrooms.

  Is it just an illusion?

  The horse-drawn carriage was much faster than walking, and by the time Liang Tian Tian and his family arrived in town, they had just barely managed to gather a basket of mushrooms.

  Ling Xu seemed unfamiliar with Guo Jia Town, but under the guidance of Liang Man Tuan, Chen San Shu drove the horse carriage to the entrance of a wine tower called "Fu Man Lou".

  A young man came up and asked strangely: "What's this?" He saw the wild boar on the carriage and had some guesses in his mind.

  "This young fellow, I don't know if you accept wild boars here, it's just been caught, the blood is still warm." Ling Xu said with a fist bump, politely.

  Liáng tián tián blinked his eyes.

  Fist bump?

  What's wrong with bookworms being so aggressive?

  How does it look like a martial artist?

  Perhaps she was still too unfamiliar with this era, so Liang Tiantian didn't think much of it.

  "Then wait a moment, I'll go ask the shopkeeper." The young clerk looked at Ling Xuan and found that he didn't look like those country folks, his speech was elegant and refined, more like a scholar, but this attire... was that wild boar blood on him?

  Before long, a portly old man came out with a smile and said: "Please, everyone, I am the boss of Fulumen Lou. I heard someone has shot a wild boar."

  "Good sir." Ling Xu clasped his fists, "I caught this wild boar myself, I don't know if your esteemed shop will accept it?" Ling Xu's face was calm and collected, without any intention of flattering. In his past life, he was a high-ranking official, and even though he tried to restrain himself, an air of authority still inadvertently seeped out.

  "Received, received." The shopkeeper looked at Ling Xuan deeply, having seen countless people, yet somehow couldn't quite see through this young man. "I don't know what kind of price this young fellow is worth."

  "Boss, this is wild game. Currently, pork is selling for 17 or 18 cents a pound on the market. What do you think would be a suitable price for this wild boar meat?" Ling Xuan had been reborn, but to be honest, he wasn't very good at this sort of thing.

  The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment before saying: "That's right, this wild boar meat must be more expensive than pork. How about 20 cents per catty, young man?"

  Twenty taels of silver can buy over a hundred catties, and it's also worth more than two taels of silver.

  Twenty taels of silver, apart from Father's medical expenses, is enough for a period of time. He can also continue to go hunting.

  Just as Ling Xu was about to agree, Liang Tian Tian interrupted and said: "Boss, take a good look, this wild boar is still warm, it's only been an hour since we caught it. Don't mention the pork, even the pig skin can be sold for a good price. Is twenty cents too low?" He gave Ling Xu a wink, then took a step forward to stand in front of the boss.

  The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he couldn't believe that a young village girl would have such insight.

  What kind of kid is this today?

  "Little girl, it's not what you said, this wild boar is not just pure meat. If we remove some of the useless intestines and belly, the remaining meat might not even be a hundred catties. Twenty cents is already a good price." Of course, when doing business, one has to negotiate the price, it can't be settled with just one word.

  On the other side, Chen Jiasan said, "Boss, you see they're all just kids, it's not easy for them. Your price is a bit low."

  "Hey, big brother, we can't afford to lose money in this business, right?" said the shopkeeper.

  "It won't be a loss, the wine house sells for a good price." Liang Mancang suddenly interjected.

  Ling Xu's eyes lit up.

  The elder uncle is still the same as in his previous life, although he doesn't say much, but he understands everything. In his previous life, the elder uncle opened the largest mountain goods store in Liaodong Prefecture and provided a lot of intelligence when dealing with the Turks...

  "But there are other expenses here." The shopkeeper felt that these children were not simple. He saw it, the adult seemed not to be their elder.

  Li Man Tuan also chimed in: "This Guo Family Town isn't just home to your one wine shop." One sentence struck a sore spot for the head manager.

  Liáng Tián tián pursed his lips and smiled. "Boss, we're both in the business of buying and selling, so let's be fair about it. We won't overcharge you either. One catty of meat for 40 cents, and this wild boar will belong to your wine shop. Think about it, wild boars are not easy to come by, and there are many traveling merchants coming and going in our town of Guōjiā. Later on, the price of your whole set of wild boar meat definitely won't be cheap."

  40 cents?

  The shopkeeper's teeth were a bit chilly.

  This little girl is so daring, she's asking for too high a price.

  "Little girl, if you charge like this, our wine shop will go bankrupt." The boss still didn't budge. He would want to get a better deal if he could.

  Liáng Tián is even more determined.

  "You also know, boss, that goods are precious when they're scarce. Our wild boar is almost the best you can get. I guarantee you won't lose money if you buy our wild boar. With so many traveling merchants around, just send a few apprentices to spread the word at those inns and people will be eager to pay for this meat. By then, not only will you sell it for 40 cents per catty, but you'll probably make several times that amount."

  Ling Xu looked at him mentioning prices as if he had become a different person, with a gentle smile always on his face.

  His little wife was dazzling in both her past life and this one.

  He was nineteen when he married his wife, and his little wife was already fifteen years old. It's just that I didn't know she was so mischievous and clever when she was a child.

  They say that in a lover's eyes, beauty shines through. At this moment, Ling Xu's eyes saw Liang Tian Tian haggling over the price as incredibly adorable.

  Liang Mantou, being a clever kid, chimed in: "If you sell this to someone else's family, Big Boss, your business won't be safe and will be snatched away by others."

  The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment.

  Businesses have been snatched away, but it's not that severe; however, some are certainly struggling.

  Things are precious because they are rare; that little girl has indeed spoken a famous and reasonable saying.

  "Alright, 40 cents a catty, I'll buy it." The shopkeeper suddenly burst out laughing. "Little girl, you're quite the smooth talker, you've even convinced an old man like me!"

  "This uncle of yours doesn't look old at all." Having sold it for a good price, Liang Tian Tian couldn't help but smile.
