During famine years, I had a divination slip in hand, and my whole family ate chicken, duck, fish, a

He would immediately say "Let's go home," just like the locals from Kaoshantun.

Ye Qingqing took another look at the man and felt that something was wrong even more.

Brocade robes and sable hats are standard attire for wealthy people in the northern frontier, no problem. But this guy's waist was empty, he didn't have a single jade pendant or anything like that, and he didn't have a thumb ring or anything like that on his fingers.

Not only that, but the hands had rough, hard knuckles, dark skin, and what looked like black dirt under the fingernails.

Who is rich enough to go out on the street without even washing their hands properly?

The servant beside him shrank back, looking timid and hesitant, not daring to open his eyes to look at anyone.

Neither his accessories nor his demeanor befit the image of a wealthy person; it seems like he's putting on an act.

If it weren't for the spiritual divination, Ye Qingqing wouldn't have noticed these details.

Could this be the ominous sign that I'm about to encounter?

"Say something, are you sure you want to do it?"

Seeing that she didn't move, the man waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, alright, fifty it is! I won't argue with you over such a paltry sum. If my family didn't urgently need fish, I wouldn't bother arguing with you."

Li Chunyan's face lit up with surprise, "Really? Then, then it's a deal..."

"etc!"

At this moment, the shopkeeper strode out through the back door, giving Ye Qingqing a displeased glare.

"Ye family girl, you talked to me first, but we turned around and started talking to other people?"

"The price is negotiable, isn't it? You sold it to someone without even saying a word, isn't that incredibly unfair!"

He really didn't expect that Ye Qingqing would run into a buyer as soon as she stepped out!

If this batch of rare goods is snatched up by someone else, how much money will Fushunlou lose!

He couldn't hold back any longer and quickly chased after them.

Ye Qingqing smiled faintly.

"We're still negotiating, but we haven't reached an agreement yet. Shopkeeper, please name a reasonable price, and I'll see which one is more suitable."

"snort!"

The shopkeeper looked displeased and held up four fingers as he calculated. "Forty coins, I'll add two more at most, consider it a tip for your trouble."

I said, "Young lady, we're in business. If you don't let me make a profit, how am I supposed to buy your stuff in the future?"

Upon hearing the price, Li Chunyan pouted unhappily.

"Shopkeeper, you're giving too little! This gentleman offered fifty coins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the brocade robe let out a smug snort.

"Did you hear that? The highest bidder wins!"

"Alright, I'll sell it to you..."

Just as Li Chunyan was overjoyed, Ye Qingqing raised her finger and pointed at the shopkeeper, saying, "Shopkeeper, call someone to unload the goods."

"What?"

Li Chunyan was startled, thinking she had misheard, and tugged at Ye Qingqing's sleeve, pressing for an answer.

"Second Girl, are you mistaken? The master gave fifty coins, but the shopkeeper only gave forty-two!"

Not to mention her, even the shopkeeper looked surprised.

Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow.

"No mistake, forty-two is forty-two. I just want to have a long-term partnership with the shopkeeper. Fushunlou is such a big business, they'll need to buy mountain products a lot in the future."

If the shopkeeper is happy, he'll pay us a few more coins in the future, and that's a profit for us, isn't it?

The shopkeeper laughed heartily, nodded, and said...

"You're right, doing business is all about long-term commitment. You have much better vision than your sister-in-law!"

"Then it's settled. Come inside with me for a cup of hot tea, and I'll give you the money."

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Ye Qingqing smiled and tossed her head at Li Chunyan, "Let's go, sister-in-law, let's have some tea and collect the money."

Li Chunyan stared at her dumbfounded, muttering with a resentful look on her face.

"What tea? You actually have the mind to drink tea!"

Second Sister, can't you do math? It's eight coins less per pound, so four hundred pounds would be three taels and two coins less!

"How much rice and flour can you buy with three taels of silver...?"

Let's go!

Ye Qingqing didn't want to listen to her nagging, so she simply pulled her arm and was about to go back with the shopkeeper.

"Hey? What are you leaving for? You want to leave before we've even finished talking?"

The man in the brocade robe's expression changed, and he immediately began to shout.

"Hey brat, have you been blinded by greed or something?!"

"I'm giving you fifty coins a pound, and you're not selling to me? You're selling to someone else for forty-two coins?"

Ye Qingqing glanced at him disdainfully.

"I'd like to."

The man in the brocade robe was furious.

"You may be willing, but I'm not! I'm buying this fish today. I don't need a pittance. I'll give you sixty coins a pound... no, eighty coins!"

"Eighty, eighty?"

Li Chunyan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock. Afraid Ye Qingqing might do something foolish, she tugged at her sleeve, refusing to leave.

"Second daughter, eighty coins! Four hundred catties can sell for more than thirty taels of silver! My mother, you mustn't do anything foolish!"

Ye Qingqing's face was full of black lines.

"Sister-in-law, I dare not accept being called that."

Li Chunyan, "..."

I was fucking calling you!

"You brat, eighty coins, are you going to sell it or not!"

Seeing that Ye Qingqing didn't even glance at him, the man in the brocade robe felt a little embarrassed and pointed at her nose, yelling...

"I'm in a hurry to buy fish for the banquet. If you delay my plans, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Bang……"

He had just raised his hand when he was struck hard, wincing in pain as he clutched his arm. "Who! Who hit me!"

Ye Dazhuang walked over with a gloomy expression, his dark eyes filled with a chilling intent as he coldly stared at him.

"Don't point at her."

The man in the brocade robe clutched his arm and began to curse.

"Who do you think you are! That brat is asking for it, what's wrong with me pointing fingers at her...?"

Before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly became light, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before crashing to the ground with a "bang".

"what!"

The man in the brocade robe clutched his stomach and screamed in agony, wincing in pain.

Strangely, the servant who had been by his side not only did not step forward to help his master, but instead turned and ran away.

"And you're not allowed to call her 'stinky girl' either."

Ye Dazhuang said casually, "Get lost."

"You brat, don't think I can't deal with you. Don't you dare run away, you just wait!"

Seeing that he was no match for the opponent, the man in the brocade robe scrambled to his feet, uttered a few harsh words, and ran away clutching his stomach.

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but smile, raising an eyebrow at Ye Dazhuang.

"Thanks, Brother Dazhuang."

Although she knew Taoist lightness techniques, she was no match for men in terms of fighting and strength.

Only a strong man like Ye Dazhuang could handle such a troublesome opponent.

Ye Dazhuang nodded silently and walked back to the alley entrance.

Ye Qingqing, "..."

That silent devil!

"What kind of situation is this?!"

Li Chunyan clutched her pounding heart, dumbfounded, completely bewildered.

That gentleman offered eighty coins, eighty coins!

Er Yatou refused to sell, and Ye Dazhuang even beat her up!

There's a saying... something like "regard money as dirt"?
