Chapter 1237 - 389: Adding Another Shop_3
After hearing the news, Mo Yan was quite moved. Although the space of the rice shop was not small, it sold too many things. In addition to grains, chicken eggs, vegetables, and game were also sold there. By the time the first batch of grape wine and fruit wine was ready, she had originally planned to set up a special counter to sell these wines exclusively.
Unfortunately, there was no room left in the rice shop to place wine racks, and now the neighboring Cloth Shop was up for sale. If she could buy it, it would solve not only the problem of where to put the wine racks but also Tang Xin’s accommodation issue.
Having decided to buy the shop, Mo Yan then asked, "Grandfather Li, I plan to buy this shop. How much silver do you think is appropriate?"
"Three thousand two hundred taels!"
Lizhong pondered for a moment and gave a price that would be acceptable to the Cloth Shop owner and wouldn’t result in a significant loss for them. According to market prices, that Cloth Shop was worth at most three thousand taels, and three thousand two hundred taels was the limit; it couldn’t be any higher.
Mo Yan nodded, the price was about what she had estimated. "Alright, three thousand two hundred taels then. I’ll have to trouble you, Grandfather Li, to talk with the owner of the Cloth Shop about this."
Lizhong laughed, "Although I have a bit of rapport with that youngster, he may not necessarily make concessions. However, if Yan girl can let me bring a jar of grape wine, perhaps he will agree given the wine’s sake."
Previously, a few jars of grape wine were placed in the rice shop, and for several months, hardly anyone showed interest. Unexpectedly, the Cloth Shop owner, on a whim, spent five ounces of silver to buy a one-pound jar and take it back. The next day, he showed up with a bag of silver and bought all the remaining grape wine.
