Chapter 548: Eight Hundred Taels (4)_1
A glint of excitement flashed through Qi Jingyi’s eyes, "You hunted this? You’re quite something, girl. First a black bear, now a tiger. What will you hunt next?"
Yang Ruxin chuckled, "That will depend on my mood... But this time, we all hunted it together..."
Qi Jingyi nodded, then raised his hand.
Weng Ji hurriedly handed over a stack of silver notes. Qing Jingyi took them without even looking and stuffed them into Yang Ruxin’s hands.
Yang Ruxin glanced at the silver notes, a hundred taels each, six in total, and there were four more worth fifty taels. That summed up to eight hundred taels. The price did slightly surprise her. Without saying much, she tucked the silver notes into her bosom.
Qi Jingyi promptly instructed Weng Ji to take the tiger to be dealt with; Weng Ji, hurried along with Uncle Lao Kuang and the mule-drawn cart.
The tiger’s hide was intact, just perfect to be sent to the palace along with the bear skin from last time. Gifts for the Empress Dowager and my father’s birthdays were now settled. As for the tiger bones, those could be used to make plasters—eight hundred taels might seem high, but when one really considered the value of these items, it was still much too low. But what could one do, given that this was a small town? Even this was an exorbitant price.
"When will our business start?" Qi Jingyi was most concerned about the furniture business, "I’ve looked at that contract of yours, completely agree with it. When do we sign and get started?"
"Making furniture is meticulous work; it can’t be rushed." Yang Ruxin chuckled, "I’m working on a catalogue these days, sketching out the designs for the furniture that we are going to make. Once the contract with the craftspeople is signed, we will start building the workshop in the village first. Afterwards will be when you need to step in..."
"That’s good." Qi Jingyi smiled relievedly, "It’s almost noon, I’ll treat you, let’s have a meal at Baiwei Restaurant."
