Chapter 34 Negotiation Done (1)

"Two hundred taels?"

Shopkeeper Shen frowned and shook his head repeatedly: "Miss, are you here to have fun in the small restaurant? Just two dishes, but the sky-high price of two hundred taels is really shocking, Brother Qiyun, what do you think?"

Shopkeeper Shen said, looking at the county magistrate, as if he wanted the county magistrate to say a few words for him.

Fortunately, the county magistrate ignored Shopkeeper Shen's hint. He still sat steadily on the chair, tapping the table lightly with his index finger, looking at Caiwei inquiringly.

Shopkeeper Shen's words made Caiwei so angry that she almost turned her face. It's a pity that this cunning profiteer, knowing that her dishes can help him make a lot of money, is reluctant to spend money and even wants to take a mere twenty taels of silver to pick up this big bargain. He thought she was really a thirteen-year-old child and could be deceived by a few words. It's really funny!

Not wanting to waste any more words with him, Caiwei bowed down like a candle and said, "Since Shopkeeper Shen is unwilling to offer, I will take my leave now. Please forgive me for disturbing you!"

After that, she walked away.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Seeing that Caiwei was about to leave, Shopkeeper Shen was anxious and winked at the waiter.

The waiter immediately stopped at the door and said with a smile on his face: "Miss, why are you in such a hurry to leave? You are sincere in selling and we are sincere in buying. Why don't you sit down, have a cup of tea, and slowly discuss it. We will try to make this deal, and everyone will be happy. If you just walk away like this, how can you be sincere in doing business?"

The shopkeeper also became polite: "Yes, girl, don't just stand there, come on, please sit down, let's talk slowly."

Caiwei said: "Shopkeeper Shen, I'm really sorry, my daughter is in a hurry to find a buyer, and I don't have time to sit here and drink tea. Whether my two dishes are worth two hundred taels, the shopkeeper knows it very well. If the shopkeeper really thinks it is not worth it, it doesn't matter. My daughter will go out and find someone who knows the value. Why bother talking?"

"Haha, the girl is very tough!" The county magistrate smiled and looked at Caiwei with some appreciation.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your compliment."

Caiwei glanced at Shopkeeper Shen and said indifferently, "I am just speaking the truth."

Shopkeeper Shen saw that she was stubborn and was afraid that she would really go out to find a buyer, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Okay, one hundred taels, not a penny more."

Caiwei refused to give in and argued, "Two hundred taels, not a penny less."

The shopkeeper's face turned red, and he shouted with a little anger, "Girl, how can you do business like this? You set a fixed price and don't even give people a chance to bargain."

"Isn't it already?" Caiwei said calmly.

"You..."

Shopkeeper Shen was furious!

"Hahaha..."

The county magistrate who had been watching from the side could not help but burst into laughter, "Brother Shen, it seems that the young lady will not give in. Brother Shen is afraid that he will lose money."

Caiwei said slowly: "Shopkeeper Shen, you don't have to force it. If you don't want to, I will find another restaurant."

"Bang!"

The table was hit hard. Shopkeeper Shen gritted his teeth and said angrily, hatefully and helplessly: "Okay, two hundred taels is two hundred taels!"

When he thought that Caiwei would sell these two dishes to other families, and other families' businesses would be prosperous, making a lot of money and snatching the title of the first restaurant in his town, his liver couldn't stop aching. Oh, forget it, just buy it. These two dishes are indeed a little expensive, but they are definitely worth the money!

The deal was done, Caiwei was very happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She calmly collected the banknotes, got up and said goodbye, and prepared to follow the waiter to the kitchen to teach the chef how to make crystal jelly and phoenix eggs.
