Chapter 520: Sky-high price
The shopkeeper knew that Wei Yu was the deputy commander of the Heavenly Wolf Guard, and he was a popular person in front of the emperor, so he would definitely not be able to provoke him.
No matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to come out.
But he can't put such a precious cookbook, after all, whoever has a unique recipe these years must be hidden and tucked, and no one will sell it until he is forced to do so.
If he misses this store today, it will be difficult to encounter such a good thing in the future.
The shopkeeper could only be ruthless and said to Yu Yuan.
"I'll pay five hundred and ten taels to buy your recipe."
Before Yu Yu could speak, Wei Yu upstairs said loudly.
"I'll give six hundred taels!"
The shopkeeper almost couldn't mention this breath, and the hatred in his heart!
This guy must be sincere in causing trouble!
But taking into account the identity of the other party, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything, so he could only swallow his anger.
"I'll give you six hundred and ten taels."
Even if their restaurant business is prosperous, more than 600 taels of silver is not a small amount for them, and he is just cutting it first now, and he has to go to the owner for advice when he goes back.
He now hoped that Wei Xiao would not raise the price again.
It's a pity that Wei Xiao couldn't let him get his wish.
"Master, I'll pay eight hundred taels."
This time it was added by one hundred and ninety taels, and the price was so high that the shopkeeper was a little unbearable.
The shopkeeper only felt his temples throb suddenly.
He pinched his forehead and asked through gritted teeth.
"What are you doing with these eight hundred taels, why do you have to have a small pastime here?"
Wei Xiao smiled lazily.
"It's still the same sentence, it's hard to buy a thousand dollars, and I'm happy!"
The shopkeeper couldn't, so he could only increase the price: "I'll pay eight hundred and ten taels." ”
After quoting this price, he immediately looked up at Wei Yu on the second floor, and pleaded with his hands.
"Please, don't increase the price, we are a small business, and we can't afford your shouting so much."
There are people coming and going at the door of the restaurant, and there are many people who love to watch the excitement, and when the shopkeeper and Wei Xiao began to shout, many people stopped to watch.
At this time, there was already a circle of people around, and they didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they all yelled at Wei Xiao upstairs.
"Bid now! Don't be cowardly! ”
Wei Xiao lived up to expectations and raised an index finger: "One thousand taels." ”
The shopkeeper's body shook and he almost fainted.
One thousand taels, this is almost a month's profit of their restaurant.
If he wants to take out all the profits of the month to buy a cookbook, if he can earn it back, it will be fine, but what if he can't earn it back? This responsibility rests with him.
The problem is that he can't afford it!
After all, he is just a part-time worker, and he has so much authority.
The onlookers were still shouting, urging the shopkeeper to hurry up and increase the price.
The shopkeeper held his forehead, pretended to be very uncomfortable, and quietly glanced at the guy next to him.
The guy understood and immediately stepped forward to help him.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?"
Shopkeeper: "I have a headache, you help me in and rest for a while." ”
Seeing that he was about to slip away, the crowd of onlookers booed one after another, laughing at him for being too cowardly.
The shopkeeper just pretended not to hear it, and quickly left here with oil on the soles of his feet.
Seeing that one of the parties had already left, the onlookers knew that there was no excitement to see, so they also dispersed as birds and beasts.
Yu Yuan looked up at Wei Yu on the second floor and asked.
"Are you really going to pay a thousand taels for my recipe?"
Wei Xiao asked rhetorically: "What?" Are you still afraid that I won't be able to pay for it? ”
In order to prove that he was rich, he immediately took out a stack of silver tickets and shook it at Yu Yuan.
The breeze rattled the silver tickets.
Yu Yuanqian didn't expect him to come for real, and he was quite puzzled.
"Why are you buying my recipe?"
Wei Xiao took a sip of wine and chuckled, "What do you care if I bought it?" Alright, you can send me the recipe quickly. ”
Yu Yuanyuan didn't bother to go to him, she was going to ask Ling Hai to help her send the recipe upstairs.
But at this moment, a young man in a blue robe ran over quickly, and he shouted at Yu Yuan.
"Wait!"
Yu Yuan looked at him: "Are you?" ”
The man in the blue shirt arched his hand at her, and his attitude was very polite.
"In Xiafu surnamed Gongsun, running a restaurant in the city, recently worried about the development of new dishes, I heard that someone here is selling recipes, so I hurried over, may I ask if your recipes are still there? Can it be sold to the following? ”
Yu Yuan stretched out his finger, pointed at Wei Yu on the second floor, and said.
"He just bid 1,000 taels for my recipe."
The man in the blue shirt immediately said, "I can give two thousand taels!" ”
Yu Yuanxuan was taken aback, this person directly doubled the price, and he was too tyrant!
Wei Xiao upstairs was very dissatisfied.
"What do you mean? Do you understand that there is a first come, first come? I've already bought this cookbook, so you can take it with you! ”
The man in the blue shirt was not afraid of Wei Yu at all.
He said unhurriedly: "Doing business is about money and goods, since you haven't paid yet, it means that the business has not been completed, and it is reasonable for me to put forward the purchase demand at this time." ”
Wei Xiao sneered.
"Okay, since you have to rob me, then I won't be polite to you, I'll pay three thousand taels!"
The man in the blue shirt stretched out a hand: "Five thousand taels." ”
Wei Xiao: "Eight thousand taels!" ”
Man in blue shirt: "Ten thousand taels!" ”
The people who had already dispersed to eat melons gathered again at this time.
When they heard the number of 10,000 taels, they couldn't help but gasp.
That's a lot of money!
What kind of peerless recipe can sell for this amount?!
Yu Yuan was also surprised.
She had already calculated before she came, and her own cookbook would sell for seven or eight hundred taels of silver at most, and if Wei Xiaoyi hadn't shouted the price indiscriminately just now, she wouldn't have been able to buy thousands of taels for this cookbook.
I didn't expect to be shouted 10,000 taels in one breath at this time!
The price is just outrageous.
Wei Xiao put the wine jug on the table next to him and said loudly.
"I'll give you twelve thousand taels!"
Isn't it just a price increase? Come on, if he admits defeat today, he will be a grandson!
Yu Yuan looked up at him: "Are you crazy?" ”
That's 12,000 taels, even if he has money, he won't squander it like this, right?!
The man in the blue shirt did not change his face.
"Fifteen thousand taels."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Actually, it's still raising prices.
Wei Xiao patted the fence: "Twenty thousand taels!" ”
Man in blue shirt: "Twenty-three thousand taels." ”
Wei Xiao: "Twenty-five thousand taels." ”
At this time, the onlookers were speechless, and they all looked at these two big men quietly, and there was only one thought in their minds-
Are these two sick?
If you are not sick, how can you spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a little-known cookbook?!
Yu Yuanxuan really couldn't listen to it anymore.
She interrupted the two of them for a price increase.
"Stop howling!"
