Chapter 420 How dare you, Lan Ji, trick me like this
Song Hai looked at Shopkeeper Xie below and said to his subordinates, "The dishes are delicious, but I don't know what he is selling."
After he finished speaking, he paused and added: "If possible, it's okay to buy one."
He came here specifically for Lan Ji's things, but now that Lan Ji was guilty of a crime, people would not sell him things anymore, which made him a little upset.
If I could take this opportunity to buy some good stuff, I could report to my brother-in-law when I get back.
Just as the master and servant were hesitating whether to buy or not, the shopkeeper Xie downstairs had already started asking everyone to bid.
"Fifty taels once, fifty taels twice..."
"One hundred taels." Someone suddenly raised the price.
"One hundred and one taels."
Duan Ye, who was in the private room, saw that everyone was bidding too slowly, so he raised the price in one breath: "Five thousand taels!"
As soon as Duan Ye finished speaking, many guests in the restaurant looked at him. They were all very curious about who was the one who paid five thousand taels of silver.
After hearing Duan Ye's bid, Shopkeeper Xie was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was really worried. What would happen if he couldn't sell this thing?
Seeing that no one raised the price after he called out five thousand taels, he repeated what he had just said, shouting: "Five thousand taels once, five thousand taels twice, five thousand taels..."
Just when Shopkeeper Xie was about to call for the third time, someone suddenly said, "Five thousand three hundred taels."
Duan Ye took a look at the bidder and saw that it was not Ren Huan, so he continued to raise the price: "Ten thousand taels."
The man who had just offered five thousand taels frowned when he saw that Duan Ye had added more silver, but he didn't say anything.
Shopkeeper Xie continued to shout: "Ten thousand taels twice..."
Ren Huan looked at Shopkeeper Xie who was about to complete the transaction. He suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "Ten thousand and one taels."
Seeing that Ren Huan had taken the bait, Duan Ye stopped bidding. This was because it was just a seasoning for cooking. If he continued to add more, he would probably have to sell it to himself later.
"Ten thousand and one and two or three times." After Manager Xie shouted for a long time, he saw that no one had made an offer. He looked up at Ren Huan and said, "Congratulations, sir. You have won the only fifty kilograms of soy sauce in the world. Please come downstairs to handle the handover procedures."
Ren Huan saw that he succeeded as soon as he made the bid. He looked at his subordinates in confusion and asked, "Song Hai, have we been fooled?"
Song Hai said uncertainly: "Probably not."
The guests in the restaurant saw that Ren Huan and his servant were still not coming downstairs, so they all looked at them and laughed, "Master and servant, don't you have no money to buy it?"
How could Ren Huan bear to be laughed at like this? He looked at the people downstairs and snorted coldly, then walked down the stairs and said, "This young master doesn't care about a mere 10,000 taels of silver. What I care more about is whether what you are doing here is worth my 10,000 taels of silver."
After listening to Ren Huan's words, Shopkeeper Xie said to him with a smile: "Sir, this soy sauce is absolutely unique in the entire Beiming. It is very cost-effective to buy it as a gift or for yourself."
Ren Huan listened to the amazing things that Shopkeeper Xie said. He looked at him and asked, "Where is the stuff? I want to take a look first."
Shopkeeper Xie asked someone to bring a small bowl and said, "Sir, the black thing in this bowl is soy sauce. Add a little when you stir-fry or cook, and it will taste delicious."
Ren Huan lowered his head and smelled it. There was indeed a smell of soy sauce, but seeing that it was black, he couldn't help but frowned, "Is this black thing really something that can be used to make delicious dishes?"
"Can it be fried? Didn't the young master just taste it?" After Manager Xie finished speaking, he quickly asked someone to bring the soy sauce away.
Because the soy sauce was very precious to Shopkeeper Xie, he bargained with the young man for a long time before he got 100 taels of silver as an appearance fee and two kilograms of soy sauce.
"Young master, please start the formalities." Shopkeeper Xie urged Ren Huan, who remained silent.
After a brief silence, Ren Huan ordered his subordinates, "Song Hai, go back and get the silver."
"Yes, sir." After Song Hai finished speaking, he hurried out to get the silver.
Two quarters of an hour later, Shopkeeper Xie found Duan Ye with the banknote and said, "Sir, the item has been sold."
Duan Ye took out a hundred taels of silver from it and handed it to him, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper. This is today's fee."
Shopkeeper Xie took the banknote and said to him with a smile, "It's not hard, it's not hard. It's just that when can you sell this soy sauce to the public?"
Duan Ye thought for a moment and said, "There should be a batch next summer."
Due to the shortage of soybeans, the soy sauce made by Shen Ruolan is basically only supplied to her own restaurant and for their own consumption. If she wants to sell it, she will have to wait until at least next year.
When Shopkeeper Xie heard that he had to wait until next year, he felt a little regretful. After thinking about it, he asked Duan Ye, "Where should I go to find you next year?"
This is very crucial, otherwise if we let him go now, where will we find him next year?
"If there is one next year, Lanji Shop will be the first to sell it. Just tell us the name of your restaurant and the people in the shop will know." After Duan Ye finished speaking, he bowed to Shopkeeper Xie and said, "Shopkeeper Xie, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Shopkeeper Xie hurriedly escorted Duan Ye out and said, "Young Master, take care."
After Duan Ye left, Ren Huan suddenly stopped Shopkeeper Xie and asked him, "Shopkeeper Xie, who was that person just now?"
Shopkeeper Xie glanced at Duan Ye's back and said to Ren Huan, "He is the owner of the soy sauce shop."
"Who is he?" Ren Huan asked immediately after hearing that Duan Ye was the man selling soy sauce.
Shopkeeper Xie said, "I don't know about this."
He just met this young man yesterday and had no idea who he was.
When Ren Huan heard that Shopkeeper Xie didn't know him, he said angrily, "You dared to accept his items for auction without knowing his identity. It seems that Shopkeeper Xie is really very brave!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at the big-bellied jar he bought and sneered at Shopkeeper Xie, "Aren't you afraid that this jar of black stuff sold in your restaurant will make people sick?"
Shopkeeper Xie was shocked by Ren Huan's words. At that time, he only wanted to make money and didn't think so much. Now, after hearing Ren Huan say this, it was really the case.
However, he quickly thought of the Lanji that Duan Ye mentioned, and he instantly became confident. He looked at Ren Huan and said seriously, "Sir, although I don't know his identity, I know that he is related to Chengnan's Lanji shop. Anything that comes from there is one of the best things in our Cangling City."
"You know, the food at Lan Ji Restaurant is also famous for its delicious taste." After saying this, Shopkeeper Xie did not forget to add one more sentence.
When Ren Huan heard Shopkeeper Xie mention Lan Ji, he quickly grabbed his clothes on his chest and asked, "What did you say? The person who sold this to me is related to Lan Ji?"
Shopkeeper Xie had no choice but to tell him about the agreement between him and Duan Ye.
After Ren Huan heard this, he slammed his palm on the table and said with gritted teeth: "How dare you, Lan Ji, to cheat me like this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his leg to kick Soy Sauce.
