Chapter 1264 - 396: Return to the Homestead, Purchase a Servant (Part 4)
Mo Yan pondered for a moment, then said to the Shopkeeper, who was looking apprehensive, "Here’s what we’ll do: I won’t haggle with you, but you will have to throw them in as a bonus for me." She pointed at the five old men who were first recommended by the Shopkeeper, along with the child.
The Shopkeeper followed Mo Yan’s finger and his lips twitched for a moment, then he said with resignation, "Miss, even if they aren’t worth much, they’re worth at least thirty taels of silver each. If I give them to you as a bonus, I’ll be taking a huge loss."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan turned around to leave, "If the Shopkeeper is unwilling, then let’s forget it. You can wait for other customers to give you thirty taels of silver for them."
The Shopkeeper hadn’t expected Mo Yan to be so unpredictable and was surprised when she just walked away. He instinctively rushed forward to stop her, "Miss, the price is negotiable. If you go to another place, you won’t be able to find such capable servants!"
Mo Yan stopped in her tracks and said to the anxious-looking Shopkeeper, "Including these five old men and the child, I’ll give you three hundred taels of silver. If you can sell them for that, sell them. If not, let’s call it off. After all, business is about mutual consent, isn’t it?"
Knowing there was no chance of an increase in price, the Shopkeeper hesitated for a moment but finally gritted his teeth and agreed, "Three hundred taels it is then. Miss, if you buy servants again in the future, be sure to patronize our Dentist."
"Sure, sure. The next time I come to buy, the Shopkeeper had better give me a fair price," said Mo Yan readily, immediately taking out a silver note of three hundred taels and handing it to the Shopkeeper.
