“Yes, yes, yes.” Xue Dafu nodded and turned the ox cart around with Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu. They immediately set off to Lakshimi Restaurant.
Jiang Yue didn’t say anything, nor did she stop them. She just looked at the food market from the corner of her eye.
As expected, the people who were still there saw that Xue Dafu and the others were leaving. It was obvious that they had found a buyer. They immediately became anxious and rushed over.
They didn’t look as indifferent as before. They also didn’t expect that they would be the first to lose their cool.
“Where are you going? You’re not selling this bear?” Those people asked anxiously as they stopped the ox cart.
Xue Dafu laughed so hard that his eyes couldn’t be seen. “There’s a restaurant that’s willing to pay fifty silver for this bear. They even said that if the bear is big enough, they’ll add more silver. Please make way, we’re going over now.”
“Don’t.” The man with the big mole on his face was full of smiles .”If there’s a restaurant that’s offering fifty silver, then I’ll offer sixty silver. Is that okay?”
“Didn’t you say that it’s worth ten silver at most just now? Why is it sixty now?” Xue Erfu immediately said.
The man with the big eyes put on his winning smile. “We’ve thought about it, and it’s true that the town didn’t get bears these few years. Sixty silver is quite a lot, sell it to me.”
In any case, everyone had agreed to fork out the money for the blind bear. When they resell the blind bear, everyone would split the profits. The other people who had gathered around naturally immediately agreed, “That’s right, that’s right, just sell it to him. Sixty silver is a huge amount. When will something like this ever be sold at such a high price in this market? It’ll save you the trouble of sending the bear back to the restaurant. It’ll be better to just unload it here. Besides, if you drag it to the restaurant, and that restaurant is only willing to give you fifty silver in the end, wouldn’t you be losing out?”
Xue Dafu was a man of principle, but when it came to this, he felt that what these people said made sense, and he couldn’t help but waver.
......
Xue Yifu was the same.
Xue Erfu had thought that he could sell it for at least 80 silver, so why would he want 60 silver? he urged, “Father, let’s hurry and let the innkeeper take a look.”
Before Xue Dafu could say anything, the man with big red eyes laughed. “I’ll say this first, if you leave this place, you can’t come back to sell it.”
This time, Xue Dafu and Xue Yifu were even more convinced.
Was this psychological warfare?
Were they bullying the honest farmers?
Jiang Yue reached out her hand and tugged at Xue Dafu’s shirt. When Xue Dafu lowered his head, she said, “There’s not much difference between fifty and sixty silver. But who knows, the restaurant might offer a higher price. Xue Yan said that it was worth at least eighty silver. He never talks nonsense. It’s not like you don’t know that.”
Xue Dafu was immediately enlightened. “That’s right, that’s right. He never talks nonsense indeed. Let’s go to that restaurant.” As he spoke, he turned to the people surrounding them and said, “I’m sorry everyone, please make way. We’re not selling for sixty silver.”
“Make way, make way.” Xue Yifu never had a mind of his own. Since his father had already decided to go to the restaurant, he immediately helped drive the ox cart and made way for him.
