C69: Sold out

He Zhiran looked at Peng Wang.

"Brother Peng, anyway these skins won't spoil until winter comes, so we might as well sell them when winter arrives."

Peng Wang was very cooperative in his reply: "Alright, whatever my younger sister says."

As he spoke, he gestured at the clerks to leave with him.

Seeing that the deal was about to slip away, the shopkeeper immediately put on a smiling face to block their way.

"Gentlemen, don't rush to leave. Let's discuss this further."

"There's nothing more to discuss. We worked hard to get so many wolf skins, of course we'll wait to sell them when prices are highest."

As Peng Wang saw the shopkeeper come to obstruct them, he was gleeful inside but still pretended that he wanted to leave.

The anxious shopkeeper directly shouted: "How about this - I'll pay an extra 100 wen per skin. That's very high already!"

He Zhiran turned her head and held out a palm to the shopkeeper.

"Pay an extra 500 wen and you have a deal."

"500 wen is too much. Even in winter, wolf fur isn't worth that much," the shopkeeper was nearly in tears. With an extra 500 wen, his profits would be halved.

"Then forget it. We're going to the capital in a few days anyway, and can definitely get a good price for them there," He Zhiran said, and prepared to leave.

Now the shopkeeper was truly anxious.

"Fine, one and a half taels of silver per skin. I'll buy all the wolf fur."

Although his profit margin had decreased, it was still better than making no profit.

Peng Wang was impressed that He Zhiran had negotiated an extra 25 taels worth of silver with just a few sentences.

He secretly gave her a thumbs up.

The wolf skins were quickly unloaded from the wooden cart, revealing dried wolf meat packed in several large iron pots.

Curious, the shopkeeper asked: "Brothers, what is this?"

Having earned extra money, Peng Wang was in a good mood and generously handed him a piece of dried meat.

"Boss, have a taste. This is dried wolf meat."

"Dried wolf meat?" The shopkeeper had been in business for many years, but this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

He took the dried meat from Peng Wang and cautiously bit off a piece.

And he simply could not stop eating after that first bite.

"Delicious, chewy, and more fragrant the more you chew..."

On the way here, He Zhiran had suggested that with so much dried meat, it would be impossible for them to retail it bit by bit at the marketplace. It would be best to find a teahouse or restaurant and negotiate for them to purchase the whole batch.

Therefore, even as the shopkeeper of the fur shop continuously praised how tasty it was, they had no intention of selling him some. Seeing how much he liked it, Peng Wang generously gave him a few more pieces.

After receiving the silver, Peng Wang was about to leave with his men, but as soon as he turned around, the shopkeeper chased him out.

"Gentlemen, please wait!"

Peng Wang looked back: "Something else?"

The shopkeeper came up to them, grinning from ear to ear.

"Brothers, might this dried wolf meat be for sale?"
