Chapter 293: 293 you’re shameless, I lie. Chapter 293: 293 you’re shameless, I lie. She selected one of the smaller white fox furs from the inside. In modern times, a similar fur collar would cost thousands of dollars, and it might not even be real fur. This one, however, was one hundred percent genuine fur, and the size was sufficient, probably worth tens of thousands of yuan.
Although it was a loss to exchange fur for silver, she had limited silver in hand, but an abundance of furs.
After Ye Jiu had sent the goods over, the response she got turned her face green with frustration.
Luo Ranran said, “This fur is worth at most a hundred taels of silver; it’s not enough to pay for those items.”
Yes, the fox fur Ye Jiu chose wasn’t large, and due to the carelessness of the person who skinned it, the fur was not intact, but the fur color was of high quality. In her own place, taking it out couldn’t be worth just a mere hundred taels of silver.
The value gap between modern and ancient items was significant. That fur, in Luo Ranran’s place, could also be sold for tens of thousands of yuan without a problem.
If Ye Jiu didn’t know the modern prices, she might have really followed Luo Ranran’s claims, but clearly, she also came from that place, so she had some understanding of the price of goods there, not all, but she knew most of the commonly used items. For those she wasn’t familiar with, she could also make a rough guess.
Ye Jiu speculated that Luo Ranran was considered credible in inter-plane trade, perhaps just because the transactions she carried out were based on mutual agreement, which didn’t mean she wouldn’t deceive people when it came to prices.
Thinking it over, Ye Jiu knew which attitude to adopt.
Ye Jiu, “This piece of fox fur is truly worth five hundred taels in our pricing.”
Your junk is valued at 160,000; why can’t mine be worth 500 taels!
If you’re going to be shameless, then you can’t blame me for lying.
After a long wait, just when Ye Jiu thought the trade might fail, a message came through. “Deal, let’s consider this first trade as making a friend, I’ll take a small loss.”
As the items arrived, the expression on Ye Jiu’s face became even more interesting.
After counting, there were several boxes of snacks, all vacuum-compressed foods and some biscuits with a nostalgic flavor, but they were worth at most three to four hundred yuan.
There were also two boxes of fine salt, each pack worth fifty-one yuan, also not worth a hundred yuan, but in ancient times, this could be quite valuable. It was unfortunate that private salt trade was prohibited; otherwise, trafficking salt could have made someone a wealthy individual.
There were also several boxes of beverage milk, which she estimated, were worth a few hundred yuan. The alcohol was stored in large glass jars intended for making infused liquor; in ancient times, the glass jars seemed to be worth more than the alcohol itself.
Two bicycles were among the items, each model at best worth about a thousand yuan, along with a tent that looked like a promotional product purchased for dozens of yuan from a platform such as Duo Duo…
Ye Jiu did a rough calculation of all these items combined, and their value was roughly around two to three thousand yuan.
Ye Jiu took a cursory look over everything, then Luo Ranran sent another message, “The value of items you’ve given justifies this amount. However, I have some items of better quality here, if you need, we can continue to trade.”
“No need, not for now,” Ye Jiu promptly refused.
She felt that she needed some time to recover from this exchange.
“Alright,” Luo Ranran seemed somewhat disappointed.
After exiting the interface, Ye Jiu took a deep breath and opened the message from La Sike, “Thanks for the fruit, I’ve received it, but I’m tied up with some affairs at the moment and won’t be able to meet you until I’m free.”
