Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Husband and Wife in Harmony Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Husband and Wife in Harmony “Five taels!” Manager Liu directly halved Su Yunjin’s asking price.
He truly is an old fox.
Manager Liu smiled, as did Su Yunjin. The other jar of fruit wine didn’t taste as rich, so she agreed to sell it to him at the price Manager Liu offered, “Six taels.” Manager Liu narrowed his eyes. Compared with ten taels of silver, Shopkeeper Liu was quite willing to pay six taels without bargaining any further with Su Yunjin.
Six taels it would be then.
Shopkeeper Liu was very forthright in giving the payment.
“Alright, six taels of silver it is,” Manager Liu agreed. Su Yunjin clapped her hands, stood up, and spoke a sentence that left Manager Liu dumbstruck, “Two jars of wine, one for six taels, and one for ten taels. That makes a total of sixteen taels of silver.” Su Yunjin smiled like a little fox, her hand extended in front of Manager Liu.
Manager Liu was stunned, but then quickly realized what Su Yunjin meant. It turns out this young girl had dug a hole early on and was waiting for him, an old man, to jump in!
Manager Liu’s expression was odd, while Su Yunjin laughed, “Manager Liu, you were the one who agreed to six taels of silver; now it’s time to pay up!”
The corners of Manager Liu’s mouth twitched.
He had agreed to six taels of silver.
But what he agreed to wasn’t what Su Yunjin was implying.
“No no no, young lady, my words didn’t mean what you are suggesting,” Manager Liu waved his hands.
Su Yunjin smiled again, “What’s the matter? Manager Liu, are you unwilling to part with a mere sixteen taels of silver? This wine is excellent, and you’ll only make a profit without any loss. With such a favorable deal, why are you hesitating?”
Manager Liu’s mouth twitched violently.
He had carelessly fallen for this young girl’s trick again. Favorable? Doing business with this young girl really meant one couldn’t afford to be careless in the slightest.
He had let his guard down for a moment and she had taken advantage of him. Looking at Gu Ya, Manager Liu said, “Brother Gu, your wife really knows how to do business; I’ve fallen for her tricks several times.”
Gu Ya glanced at his young wife before slowly addressing Manager Liu.
“Manager Liu, Yunjin is young and owes much to your generosity,” Gu Ya spoke unhurriedly.
Manager Liu was taken aback.
Suddenly, Manager Liu felt that he should not have asked Gu Ya earlier. This young couple was probably each more astute than the other! He had witnessed Gu Ya’s accounting skills firsthand.
Such an excellent ability to remember and calculate on sight, Manager Liu had only encountered one other person like Gu Ya in all his years, and compared to Gu Ya, that person’s skills were somewhat inferior.
With this young couple being so shrewd, Manager Liu was sure that in the future, they would certainly grow wealthy and prosper, perhaps even surpassing the Madam Qin of the Fuman Building.
Having worked at Fuman Building for several years, he had heard that Madam Qin had also started from nothing and worked her way up, step by step, just like Su Yunjin was now. However, the only difference was that Madam Qin had come from a wealthy family.
A delighted Su Yunjin turned to look at Gu Ya, very satisfied with Gu Ya’s response just now. His words were practically a divine assist! Now that Gu Ya had spoken, if Manager Liu were to quibble any further,
He would appear stingy.
She believed that Manager Liu would not wish to continue haggling with her any longer. Indeed, Manager Liu exhaled a sigh, shook his head with a smile, “Enough, I can’t outwit you and your husband, give you the price you asked for the two jars of wine! Just sixteen taels of silver.”
Manager Liu could still afford that.
Leaving the Fuman Building, Su Yunjin’s purse was heavy, having just earned sixteen taels of silver from that old fox, Manager Liu.
Earning the silver, Su Yunjin was very pleased, not noticing that as she and Gu Ya left, Fan Wenxuan walked into the Fuman Building.
And he had seen her with her husband, Gu Ya.
