Chapter 395 Temptation
"We are from Lijiazhuang." Lu Qiyan said tentatively.

"I often go to Lijiazhuang, but I have never seen you two." Pei Youguang said.

The two looked at each other, and Xia Mingyue hurriedly explained with a smile, "It's true that we should never lie. We are indeed not from Lijiazhuang, but Lijiazhuang is my maternal grandfather's home, so I can be considered half a Lijiazhuang person."

"My uncle is Li Guide from Lijiazhuang. He used to buy things from here, young man. I'm sure you recognize him."

When Pei Youguang heard the familiar name Li Guide, he nodded and said, "Yes, I am sure."

"My parents found out about the secret recipe for raising sheep from my uncle, so they asked us to come and look for it. We wanted to buy some and raise more sheep at home. When we sell them, we can also supplement the family income."

Xia Mingyue said, "In fact, we didn't intend to raise sheep at first, but it was because we saw that not only did my uncle's family sell a lot of sheep and make money, but even the people in the entire Lijia Village wanted to do more sheep-raising business, so my parents came up with this idea."

"Although these sheep are easy to raise, if you raise too many, they may not be easy to sell when the time comes. Don't put in so much effort now, only to end up with nothing when the time comes and the sheep cannot be sold. That's not a good idea." Pei Youguang narrowed his eyes and spoke tentatively.

"How can I lose money? My uncle said that there is probably a new restaurant opening in the city that mainly sells mutton, so this mutton is collected all year round and there is no problem selling it!"

Xia Mingyue chuckled and said, "At most, the sheep collector may not come to our village. But that's okay. The sheep we raise will be sent to my uncle's house and sold anyway. Will the sheep collector still care about this?"

"That's right. They are all the same sheep. We can tell which is which when the time comes and just take them all away." Lu Qiyan added.

The two of them sang the same tune, their calculating minds were evident in their words, and they seemed quite mercenary.

Pei Youguang felt relieved when he saw this look. He smiled and said, "That's exactly what I said. I do have what you want. It's five cents per ounce."

"Five coins for one ounce, that means fifty coins for one pound?" Xia Mingyue frowned. "My uncle said before that fifteen coins could buy half a pound, why is it so expensive now?"

"There are a lot of people who want this recently, so the price has gone up." Pei Youguang squinted at Xia Mingyue, "Even if the price goes up, you won't lose money if you buy it back. Just this half a catty is enough for your sheep to grow another four or five catties of meat. What can you do without capital?"

"That's true, but the price is really too high." Lu Qiyan interrupted, "Just give us a lower price and we'll just buy more."

"This is the price no matter how much you buy. I don't bargain here. I'm honest and fair to everyone. Just buy with confidence." At this point, Pei Youguang was completely relieved, but he was still thinking about making more money.

"If you think it's expensive, then you can go somewhere else. I have other things to do here, so I won't take you there."

As he spoke, Pei Youguang was about to go out.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Lu Qiyan hurriedly blocked the door and whispered to Xia Mingyue for a while. Then he gritted his teeth and said with a determined look, "Okay, let's do it. We want three kilograms!"

As he spoke, Lu Qiyan winked at Xia Mingyue, signaling her to take the money.

Xia Mingyue reached out for the purse, but was still reluctant, and even muttered, "I told you to buy with your uncle's family earlier, but you refused to listen, afraid of this and that. Now you have to buy it anyway, and the price is expensive. What do you think, hey!"

"Why so much nonsense!" Lu Qiyan was displeased and his face turned cold.

"I'm telling the truth!" Xia Mingyue refused to give in. Seeing the couple arguing over each other, Pei Youguang just smiled and went straight into the inner room, taking out a cloth bag and a weighing rod.

After taking enough money from Xia Mingyue to make sure there was no problem with the amount, Pei Youguang hung the cloth bag on the hook and moved the weight to show them the scale. "Three pounds, high."

"Okay." Lu Qiyan reached out and took the cloth bag, opened it and took a look.

The things in the cloth bag had been cut into pieces and their original appearance could not be seen.

But before Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan set out, they had already carefully looked at the white deer grass from Yin Lingyou. Now, by its luster, color, and even the taste when they put it in their mouths and chewed it, they could determine that it was indeed white deer grass.

Xia Mingyue and Lu Qiyan looked at each other.

Lu Qiyan understood, tied up the cloth bag, and came to Pei Youguang, "Brother Youguang, can we discuss something else?"

"What's the matter?" Pei Youguang was puzzled.

"Since your product tastes so good to the sheep, the price is not too expensive, and many people buy it, how about we start a business together?" Lu Qiyan suggested.

"What business?"

"No matter how good Brother Youguang's stuff is, the buyers are mostly from a few nearby villages. There isn't a lot of stock at most, so we can't make much money. Why don't you sell it to me at a lower price? I can sell it outside the Great Wall, and we can both make some money. How do you do?"

Pei Youguang was very tempted by Lu Qiyan's proposal.

There are many grasslands outside the Great Wall and a large number of cattle and sheep. If they knew that this thing could stimulate the appetite of cattle and sheep and make them grow fat and meat, they would naturally like it very much.

Unfortunately……

When Pei Youguang thought of what that person had said, he could only put the idea aside and shook his head like a rattle at Lu Qiyan, "Your idea is good, but it's a pity that there are not so many of these things. Even if I want to sell them, I can't."

Seeing this, Lu Qiyan winked at Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue calmly closed the door and bolted it.

Lu Qiyan pulled Pei Youguang to sit down at the square table in the room, and said earnestly, "Brother Youguang, are you afraid that you won't make much? So, after deducting your capital, we will split the remaining profit 20% to 80%. No matter how much I sell it to the outside, you can get the money for free. Is that okay?"

"To be honest, my brother, most people outside the pass are stupid and have lots of money. They can't count. As long as the things are useful, let alone fifty coins per pound, even if it's two hundred coins per pound, they will rush to buy it. Do you believe it?"

"I can earn an extra 150 coins from this jin, and give it to Brother Youguang for 20 coins. Ten jins will be 200 coins, and a hundred jins will be two taels of silver. When we can get several thousand jins, Brother Youguang won't have to do anything and can earn dozens of taels of silver!"

"If we can sell tens of thousands of kilograms a year, Brother Youguang will have hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver in his hands. Wouldn't that mean he can live a comfortable life and never have to worry about anything?"

Lu Qiyan talked incessantly, and Pei Youguang's eyes lit up as he listened.
