Chapter 87: Earn Money Again
When Jiang Youzhen heard this and looked at the shopkeeper's cautious look, he immediately sighed that it was indeed the custom to offer respect to Luo Yi first.
"Wolf seller, what's your price?" Jiang Youzhen pointed at the cloth bag. The shopkeeper was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.
There are very few people who come to sell wolves, as hunters generally cannot catch such large and ferocious beasts.
After all, wolves are agile and ferocious, and wolf skins are not as valuable as fox or mink fur, so it is not worth taking the risk.
However, people in the Dayun Dynasty used wolf skins less frequently, but people in Mobei, outside the border, loved them!
If it is made into a wolf-hair cloak and sold to those hidden merchants, it can be sold for more than four hundred taels.
A wolf-hair cloak requires seven or eight wolf skins, and the shopkeeper has already started counting in his mind.
It’s a big deal, after all, precious furs are not something you can come across often.
"Let me take a look." The shopkeeper got started directly.
"Give me a price. I went to two different stores and they both gave me unfair prices. I like hunting wild animals. If the price is right, I will definitely come to you in the future."
Jiang Youzhen was of course lying to him, but after selling the raccoon dog and musk deer, she had a rough idea of the amount.
"That's right. My price is the most suitable. Hunters like to sell here. Don't worry, sir. I promise that you won't suffer any loss."
After the shopkeeper boasted to himself for a while, he turned the wolf over and saw the wound. He immediately said "Thank God for the loss".
"The wound is on the abdomen, but luckily it is vertical and the impact is not that big, otherwise the price would not be able to be raised."
"How much will the shopkeeper give?" Jiang Youzhen didn't have time to listen to so much nonsense. She had been out for a while and had to go back quickly.
I have to buy some things before going back, otherwise my excuse won’t work.
"Since you are a straightforward person, I won't say much. The price of wolf skin in the market is only sixty taels. As for wolf meat, rich families like to try it, but not everyone is suitable for eating a lot, so the price is thirty taels."
Jiang Youzhen curled his lips when he heard this. How come wolves are not as valuable as musk deer? It's really a thankless job. No wonder hunters don't like hunting wolves anymore.
Excluding the musk, for a wolf that size and with so much meat, they only gave him thirty taels?
"Boss, don't scare me. This is a wolf. Do you know how difficult it is to hunt? The price over there is a bit higher than what you offered. If you keep doing this, I will leave. It's so cheap, why not take it back and eat it."
Jiang Youzhen acted very unhappy and walked forward and picked up the cloth bag.
"If I didn't want to buy that Yulinglong aromatherapy ball, I would have sold it!" Jiang Youzhen muttered.
The shopkeeper's eyes rolled and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the cloth bag.
"Don't be anxious, sir! What I just said were the prices I gave to others. I will definitely give you more than that."
The shopkeeper held out his hand and said, "I'll give you another five taels of silver."
"Tsk~ I'm not selling it. It's so cheap. Take it back and make yourself a sweater."
Jiang Youzhen was about to pick up the cloth bag again, but the shopkeeper immediately grabbed it.
"No! Let me give you the exact price! One hundred taels, this is the highest price. If you don't sell it, then I can only say that I am unlucky and cannot do business with you, young master."
The shopkeeper didn't let go after he said that, but his expression and tone showed that he didn't care.
Jiang Youzhen raised the corner of his lips, "One hundred and twenty taels, if you're willing, we can wait for the next transaction. If you're not willing, I'll look somewhere else."
The shopkeeper loosened his hand on the bag when he heard this, "Sir, I'm telling you the truth. One hundred and ten taels is the highest price I've given you. If you think it's unreasonable, you can only take a few more steps."
"Okay!" Jiang Youzhen nodded. He could only blame the wolf for not living up to his expectations!
You say you are so majestic for nothing, even the little fox can't compare to you.
"How much is your fox for?" Jiang Youzhen saw the shopkeeper going to the counter to get the banknote, so he asked.
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, "Master, you still have a fox in your hand?"
Jiang Youzhen did not answer but asked: "Just tell me how much money it is."
"That depends on the quality and weight of the fox fur, as well as the location and size of the wound. Generally, it's around 150 to 170 taels."
The shopkeeper did not hide it, and Jiang Youzhen had an idea in her mind. It seemed that her little fox was more valuable than the wolf.
He took the silver and looked at the wolves on the ground with disdain. Brother wolves, if you don't mess with me in the future, I won't even want to kill you.
It's a thankless job and there's no profit in it!
After earning another 110 taels of silver, Jiang Youzhen's mood became good again.
Thinking of the stone ball in the storage space, I calculated the time. Forget it, it’s getting late. I’d better come back next time!
It will take a lot of time to dig out the jade from the stone ball. I will find a chance later.
Jiang Youzhen saw the silk and satin shop in front of him. Since he had a carriage this time, he might as well buy more and make more clothes for his family in the future. Now there were only two sets for one person, and they were only for winter.
Suddenly I thought of Liu Ya. By the way, I have to buy two pairs of soles for Liu Ya.
Buy, buy, buy! I received another 440 taels today, so I must buy.
We entered the silk shop. The shop was not small, and there were many kinds of silks, which were very gorgeous.
Most people in his family wore fine cotton cloth, so Jiang Youzhen picked out three pieces of beautiful silk.
The dark patterns on these three pieces of silk were even more complicated, all with floral patterns, such as peony, diamond and cloud designs, which looked very gorgeous, so Jiang Youzhen ordered one piece each in jujube red, stone blue and snow blue.
He also bought two rolls of ultramarine and cherry red muslin, spending a total of sixteen taels and three cents.
Jiang Youzhen agreed with the shopkeeper to load the things onto the carriage when it arrived. He wanted to take a look around some more, but when he thought that it was almost time, he had to give up.
I made money! I made money! I just didn’t have the time to spend it.
Jiang Youzhen was just about to look for the servant Xiaoliu when he saw Jishidiang in front of him.
Oh! And her cheap dad. Last time, the village doctor Liang said that her dad needed tonic. She had forgotten that the county hospital must have the best tonic herbs.
Jiang Youzhen thought about it and went to Jishidiang again.
"Take these five doses of medicine first, and then come back to check your pulse. From what you said, your father is in poor health, so you can't give him too much nourishment right away. You need to take it step by step."
Manager Liu is a doctor himself and has good medical skills, so it is natural for him to prescribe some nourishing prescriptions.
"Thank you, Manager Liu!"
Jiang Youzhen suddenly thought of the rough hands of his sisters at home, "Do you have any grease for hands and face? My hands are cracked and my face is a little frostbitten. It would be best if it can soften the skin."
She doesn't need it anymore, the system will help anyway, but Shen and the three sisters at home do.
"Yes, the best ones are quite effective. Not only do they work wonders in treating these symptoms, but they also moisturize and nourish the skin. However, they cost one tael of silver per box. Just tell the medicine boy when you go to the counter to get the medicine."
Jiang Youzhen naturally couldn't be reluctant to spend this little money, so he thanked Doctor Liu and went to the counter.
