Dressed as a peasant girl, the prince actually wants to seduce me

Chapter 106 Drawing Lots

The steward was also stunned when he saw Ji Shiyan, obviously not expecting to see his master here.

But he didn't care about him the next second. The most important thing was to grab these white radishes. I believe the master would understand him.

"Don't worry, everyone. There are still nine acres of white radish in the field. In addition, there are several other families in our village who also grow white radish, which adds up to four or five acres." Su Mu introduced several other households to them.

The villagers looked at the families picking radishes from the fields with envy, wondering why they hadn't had the heart to buy some radish seedlings.

"Are they of the same quality as yours?" some merchants inquired.

"They also bought the seedlings from me, and you can also see if their vegetables meet your requirements."

"Okay, then we'll wait here for a while, and if possible we can collect theirs as well."

Ji Shiyan whispered in Su Mu's ear, "Can I buy some white radishes too?"

Su Mu raised his chin and said, "Isn't that the manager under your command?"

"How did you know?"

"I've seen him."

"I feel like he can't compete with others, so I want to use your connections."

Su Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I still have a lot saved, I guarantee it's enough for you."

"it is good."

"Can we buy the white radishes from this acre of land first?" asked a smart businessman.

Things are real only when they are in your hands. Otherwise, with so many merchants competing for them, who knows if you can get a share after you have harvested all the goods.

Su Mu thought about it and decided to sell the land one acre at a time.

"Everyone, we can sell it in rotation, but the yield of each acre may not be the same."

Be prepared first, not every piece of land will produce the same weight, there will be some differences.

"Yes! We all know."

"Look, how about 10 cents a pound? This is much more expensive than wheat."

The merchant had a good idea. He offered a low price first, which gave room for negotiation. If he sold it directly without bargaining, that would be even better. And I offered 10 cents, and you can't just ask for a high price.

Su Mu listened to the man's offer. How could she not know the businessman's little tricks? But she couldn't just follow his words.

"This is the only one of its kind. Who has ever seen a white radish like this? The price you're offering is a bit low."

"I'm not kidding you either. 50 cents a pound."

Su Mu also directly quoted a very high price for two kilograms of meat, so that there is room for bargaining. If he asks for 10 cents and you quote 20 cents and then haggle over it, wouldn't you be at a loss?

The businessman's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect that the man looked young and quite shrewd, and he didn't fall into the trap. He actually opened his mouth and said 50 cents, which showed that he was courageous.

"Miss Su, the price is too high. Let's talk about a more realistic price, 20 cents per pound. This thing is at best a vegetable, and it can't be compared to a staple food to fill you up."

Su Mu also laughed when he heard it, "You said it's a vegetable. You know it's not easy to have fresh vegetables to eat in this lean season.

Don't think I'm a little girl and don't know the market. This thing can be sold at a very high price. I won't beat around the bush with you and charge you 40 cents a pound."

The merchant girl was quite eloquent, "Although these things can be sold at a high price, we still have to spend manpower and material resources.

We also have to keep these vegetables in good condition, which costs a lot of money. We can just sell them directly, which is convenient for you and me."

"Girl, please lower the price a little bit, this price is too high."

A group of villagers were listening in amazement. Several other households that grew radishes were also listening nervously to the exchange between the two men. If it were him, they might have hesitated in the first round, but would have agreed directly in the second round.

"Then 30 per pound."

“Miss Su, you are so pretty and capable, and I really want to make friends with you. We will definitely collect the radishes from other villagers, so we don’t need you to help load them.

We will load and transport the radishes ourselves, and we will also pick the radishes together. We will be the first to collect the crops in your village, and we will reduce the price a little bit. "The businessman thought that even if the price per pound was reduced by only a few cents, it would save a lot of cost per acre of land.

"Okay, let's make it 25 cents a pound. Let's both make concessions. I am also sincere. Let's cooperate often in the future."

This was the price Su Mu expected in her heart, but when it came to bargaining, she was bold enough to cut it in half, so she directly quoted a price twice as high as she expected.

In addition, if both parties take a step back, the merchants will be grateful that they have received a promise. There will definitely be many other crops in their fields, so it will be convenient to let them come and purchase them as soon as possible.

"Then let's make a deal!"

The two men made peace with each other with a smile. They both knew that bargaining was normal. In business, all words were just a means of bargaining. However, since the promise was made, it must be fulfilled. The most important thing for a businessman is integrity.

"Did you hear that? This year our white radish is 25 cents per pound. Merchants who haven't heard please spread the word."

Once the price is agreed upon, it can be announced to these merchants.

The remaining villagers were almost going crazy with excitement, 25 wen per pound! They never dreamed that they could sell it at this price.

"Boss Su, please sell this acre of land to me first!" a businessman shouted.

"Go, go, go, I came first and sold me."

The businessmen began to argue again.

"Don't worry, everyone. I know you all want some, but there are only so many radishes in the field."

"Let's use the fairest method and decide by drawing lots!" The method Su Mu came up with was so simple, yet very useful.

"Okay, that's a good idea."

The merchants whispered praises to each other so that everyone had a chance.

"Look at the bamboo stick in my hand." Su Mu raised the bamboo stick in his hand high.

"The bamboo sticks are marked with numbers like one, two, three, and four. The fields here and the fields of the villagers are all numbered. The white radish in the field corresponding to the number drawn by the person will belong to him.

There are still empty lots here, which means you didn't draw it. Then we can cooperate next time, or you can find someone else to share the one acre of land with you privately, and I won't interfere."

"Okay, Miss Su, let's start."

Su Mu put the bamboo sticks in a closed bamboo tube, so no one could see the numbers on the sticks.

"You can come and draw lots now." Su Mu took a step back, making room and stood not far from the bamboo tube, watching.

The merchants rushed forward and wanted to be the first to draw the lot. A few other merchants followed behind. They knew that they might not draw a good lot even if they drew the lot in advance, so they let others draw the empty lot first and then they could go up.

Those who didn't win were dejected and went to look for others to cooperate with.

The person who drew the lot was overjoyed, "Number 6, which field is number 6?"

"Here!" a worker waved at him.
