The shopkeeper didn't even think about it.
"Fur can keep you warm, so it's naturally more valuable in winter."
He Zhiran looked at Peng Wang.
"Brother Peng, these leathers won't go bad in winter anyway. We'd better sell them in winter."
Peng Wang responded very cooperatively: "Okay, I will listen to my brothers and sisters."
With that said, he greeted the officials and left together.
Seeing that the business in hand was about to run away, the shopkeeper immediately put on a smile and blocked the way of several people.
"Guys, don't leave in a hurry. Let's discuss it later."
"There's nothing to discuss. We managed to get so many wolf skins, so naturally we have to wait until they are most valuable before selling them."
When Peng Wang saw the shopkeeper coming to stop him, he felt happy but still pretended to leave.
The shopkeeper became anxious and shouted directly: "How about adding one hundred cents per piece of skin? This is already very high."
He Zhiran turned his head and slapped the shopkeeper.
"Add 500 yuan and it's a deal."
"Five hundred coins is too much. Even in winter, the wolf skin is not worth the price." The shopkeeper almost cried. If he added five hundred coins, his profit would be reduced by half.
"Forget it, anyway, we are going to the capital in a few days to do business. If we take these leathers there, we will definitely sell them for a good price." After He Zhiran finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Now, the shopkeeper was really worried.
"Okay, just one tael and a half of silver, and I'll take all the wolf skins."
Although the profit is less, it is still better than no profit at all.
Peng Wang was convinced now. With just a few words from He Zhiran, Langpi earned an extra twenty-five taels of silver.
He quietly extended a thumb towards He Zhiran.
The wolf skins on the wooden cart were quickly removed, revealing the dried wolf meat placed in several large iron pots.
The shopkeeper asked out of curiosity: "Brother, what is this?"
Peng Wang was happy now that he had earned an extra twenty-five taels, and he generously picked up a piece of dried meat and handed it to him.
"The shopkeeper can try it, this is wolf meat jerky."
"Wolf meat jerky?" The shopkeeper has been doing business for so many years, and this is the first time he has heard of this term.
He took the dried meat from Peng Wang and took a tentative bite.
As a result, I couldn't stop eating at all.
"It's delicious, chewy, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes..."
On the way here, He Zhiran suggested that it was impossible for them to sell so much dried meat in the market bit by bit. It would be best to find a teahouse or a place like Qinlou Chuguan and talk to the shopkeeper. Try to get them to buy it all at once.
Therefore, even though the shopkeeper of the leather goods shop kept praising how delicious it was, they had no intention of selling him some. Seeing that the shopkeeper liked it, Peng Wang generously gave him a few pieces.
After getting the money, Peng Wang was ready to take people away. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, the shopkeeper chased him out.
"Guys, please stay."
Peng Wang turned around: "Is there anything else?"
The shopkeeper came to several people with a smiling face.
"Brother, can you sell this wolf meat jerky?"
"Of course it is for sale, but it is sold as a whole and not retailed," Peng Wang replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man who looked to be in his thirties and wearing a satin gown came out of the leather goods store.
The man waved a folding fan in his hand and came to the front of several people in a very elegant manner.
"Cui is not talented. I will hold a poetry meeting in three days. Literati from several surrounding counties will be present. From my perspective, this wolf jerky is a good snack. If possible, I would like to buy some. "
When Peng Wang saw business coming to his door, he instinctively looked at He Zhiran.
He Zhiran had known for a long time that there was no need to worry about selling dried wolf meat.
"Mr. Cui, our dried meat is not retail. If you can cover all of it, we can discuss the price."
Mr. Cui first took a look at the number of wolf jerky on the wooden cart, and then said: "No problem."
Hearing this, He Zhiran was unambiguous and directly reported his asking price: "Pack all these dried meats and take them away. The price is 300 Wen per catty."
"300 yuan per catty? Little lady, are you trying to steal money?" The shopkeeper of the leather goods shop felt that the price was too incredible.
Hearing this quotation, not to mention the owner of the leather goods shop, even Peng Wang was a little shocked.
If it weren't for the delicious jerky they made, even if the wolf meat was processed and taken to the market, it probably wouldn't be worth a lot of money.
This girl is really a lion with a big mouth, one mouth is worth 300 yuan.
He Zhiran was able to offer such a price, which did contain some moisture. After all, this could not be a fixed-price transaction, and the other party must make a counteroffer.
However, she would never offer to give in.
"It takes five kilograms of wolf meat to make one kilogram of jerky. Our family risked their lives to hunt these wolves and go through many steps to process them. I think the price is very reasonable."
"Even if five pounds of wolf meat is made into one pound of dried meat, it's not worth 300 yuan per pound!" the shopkeeper retorted.
Mr. Cui also echoed: "Yes, 300 yuan per catty is indeed too expensive."
Seeing that both of them thought the price was expensive, Peng Wang guessed that the business was going to go bankrupt.
In desperation, he quietly pushed He Zhiran and winked, reminding her to lower the price.
He Zhiran ignored Peng Wang and said to the shopkeeper and Mr. Cui.
"They must have tasted the dried meat and thought it tasted good, so they decided to buy it."
Seeing that the two people did not refute, He Zhiran continued.
“Making jerky is our family’s ancestral method, and I believe that except here, you can’t buy such delicious jerky anywhere else.
Mr. Cui, if you hold a poetry party, the attendees must be some well-known people.
When that time comes, entertaining your guests with such unique jerky will definitely bring you unexpected effects. "
What He Zhiran said really touched Mr. Cui's heart.
He hesitated again and again, and finally said: "200 yuan per catty, I want it all."
The lowest price of these dried meats in He Zhiran's mind was 150 Wen per catty. Seeing that the other party offered 200 Wen, she was already happy.
However, in order not to let the other party see the clues, He Zhiran still hesitated for a moment.
Seeing her hesitation, Mr. Cui spoke again.
"Add another 20 yuan, no more."
He Zhiran pretended to be unsure and turned to look at Peng Wang.
"Brother Peng, is this price acceptable?"
Peng Wang was very cooperative and said with a pained look: "220 Wen, just 220 Wen! We can go back earlier if we sell the dried meat."
He Zhiran then looked at Mr. Cui with a look of reluctance.
"Since my eldest brother has agreed, I have nothing to say. The deal is 220 yuan per pound."
The shopkeeper called the waiters to help weigh the dried meat.
There are a total of 168 kilograms of wolf jerky, and the price is 36 taels and 980 Wen.
Mr. Cui directly gave He Zhiran 40 taels of silver.
For Peng Wang, the wolf meat that no one wants can be sold for 40 taels, which is like free money.
