I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 330: Another profit

"If they are all of the same quality, it's really good." The shopkeeper picked up one, opened it and tasted it. It was indeed this year's new product, and no old seeds were found.

“I can assure the shopkeeper that the quality is the same.”

 Listening to the shopkeeper’s tone, Bai Yunxi quickly promised,

“It’s because I have carefully selected them that I dare to boast about Haikou.”

Hearing how confident Bai Yunxi was, the shopkeeper looked at her curiously.

 “How many pine nuts of this quality do you have?”

When Bai Yunxi heard this, he suddenly felt reassured and smiled gently.

“We have only collected 200 kilograms of pine nuts of this quality this year. To be honest, the main reason I came to the county today is to inquire about the price of pine nuts. I want to take advantage of the New Year’s Eve and sell the pine nuts to celebrate the New Year.”

Hearing Bai Yunxi’s down-to-earth tone, the shopkeeper nodded in agreement without being pretentious and spoke directly,

“If the pine nuts brought by my sister-in-law are the same as those in this bag, I will offer you fifty-five cents per catty.”

"Since my sister-in-law has come to my store, she should also know the price of pine nuts. After the raw pine nuts are cooked, a lot of consumption is consumed in the process, and the profit is not as high as expected. And unlike melon seeds and peanuts, pine nuts can be purchased at will, except for wealthy people. Even if they are willing to buy pine nuts for the New Year, ordinary people still mainly buy melon seeds and peanuts.”

 Baiyunxi understands this point, and also knows that pine nuts are a precious commodity during this period, and most people are reluctant to part with them.

Moreover, the price offered by this shopkeeper is five cents higher than that in the town, so he is considered a real person.

Since the price is right, Baiyunxi didn’t bargain and just agreed.

"It's exactly as you said. I made a lot of inquiries before I came here. The shopkeeper is indeed a real person, so I bargained with you. I just want to ask, does the shopkeeper want all the two hundred kilograms of pine nuts?"

Hearing Bai Yunxi's cheerful response, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

“My sister-in-law is very cheerful, and I am also unambiguous. I want all the 200 kilograms of pine nuts. It’s just the end of the year, and I also want to get more high-quality pine nuts to increase the revenue of the small shop.”

After the price was agreed upon, Baiyunxi entered the backyard from the side door under the guidance of the waiter, and was weighed by the shopkeeper himself.

“What my sister-in-law said is true, it’s exactly two hundred catties.” It must have been weighed before coming here.

　　Fifty-five cents per catty, exactly eleven dollars.

After two installments of silver, Bai Yunxi took the money and used his sleeve pocket to cover it, and transferred the money directly to the locker, which was safe and secure.

 The shopkeeper sent the people to the side door and bowed his hands to them.

“If sister-in-law can still receive pine nuts of this quality next year, just send them to the store. My surname is Zhao. Sister-in-law is welcome to visit us at any time.”

 Listening to Shopkeeper Zhao’s tone, Baiyunxi returned the favor.

“It is said that harmony brings wealth. No wonder Shopkeeper Zhao’s dried fruit shop is so popular. The shopkeeper is easy-going and will definitely bring wealth to the shop. If people are prosperous, wealth and luck will come, this is true.”

Shopkeeper Zhao heard Bai Yunxi’s compliment, folded his hands and laughed loudly,

“My sister-in-law is not an ordinary person, she is decisive and straightforward, and I admire her very much.”

Having been doing business for a long time, he has long been numb to the matter of bargaining. When many people hear the price, they will raise it no matter how high or low it is, and they always have to tear it up before settling on it.

After leaving the dried fruit shop, Baiyunxi asked her second son to drive the ox cart out of the city and go home. With the current situation of their family, it was not suitable for consumption in the county town.

Furthermore, the county seat is still two hours away from Willow Bay. In the middle of winter, it gets dark early, so it is always safer to go back earlier.
