Chapter 10: A Congratulatory Gift for That Impostor

Fortunately, her mind was still clear, and she was not overwhelmed by the 100 taels of silver. When she calmed down, she had already figured out that the negotiations had just begun, and there was still room for further bargaining.

“Hu, take out the ginseng for the manager to check. Our ginseng is a once-in-a-century-old one. If we sell it in Jing City, the price will be more than doubled.”

“Mmm.”

Hearing Xiu’e’s words, Su Hu reached into the basket and carefully took out the ginseng, which was as thick as a baby’s arm, with all the limbs and full roots.

“Hoo…”

This time, it was the old manager’s turn to stop breathing. His right hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly with excitement.

“Eeee.”

The little baby girl glanced at the old shopkeeper with her big black eyes, clapping her little hands and smiling, just like the shrewd and calculating expression of the old manager.

“Yuyu, are you hungry? Do you want to eat pastries?”

Su Hu was instantly attracted by the cute little baby girl. Anyway, he could not participate in the negotiation of the heated dispute, so he shifted the target to amuse the little baby girl happy and enjoy the long-lost joy of family life.

“Eeee.”

The little baby girl flashed her big eyes and nodded her little head, clearly expressing her meaning.

“Daddy will brew it with water for you.”

This time, Su Hu accurately comprehended her baby’s language. He happily took a piece of fluffy chestnut cake, softened it with boiling water, and fed it into the baby girl’s mouth.

“Slurp, slurp…”

The baby girl ate contentedly. The fluffy chestnut cake was much more delicious than the rice paste mixed with wild vegetables.

“Fixed price, two hundred taels of silver.”

As the father and daughter ate happily, the old manager also recovered from his initial shocked excitement, and with the determination to never miss out, he doubled the price in one go.

After that, he made an extra explanation. “If it weren’t for the fact that the Duke in Jing City has got a precious daughter, and my master family was eager to acquire ginseng of good quality to send a congratulatory gift to the Duke, I would never have bid such a high price.”

A congratulatory gift for that impostor?

The little baby girl was okay until the old manager mentioned the Duke. She could not help but feel a surge of grievance and started to cry softly, her big crystal-like eyes dyed with mist.

She cried softly like a kitten, striking the hearts of Su Hu and Li Xiu’e. The couple’s hearts trembled, and they could not help but feel a surge of pain.

“Hey hey, good baby, why cry? Is the chestnut cake not good? We do not eat it.”

At once, Su Hu’s forehead was covered with sweat. He hurriedly began to coax the baby girl.

“Manager, the ginseng was found by my Yuyu. She did not agree to sell it, and we can’t decide.”

Li Xiu’e’s mind was more complicated than Su Hu, who was panicking now. She mistakenly thought that the baby girl was intelligent, disagreed with the low price offered by the manager, and deliberately cried to express her dissatisfaction.

“Three hundred taels, no more.”

The old manager glanced at the aggrieved baby girl half-doubtfully and added another hundred taels.

“Woo, woo, woo…”

The answer was the low and soft cry of the baby girl.

“Four hundred taels!”

The old manager wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

“Woo, woo, woo…”

The baby girl still cried in the grievance.

“Five hundred taels!”

The old manager’s eyelids jumped with pain. He added another 100 hundred taels painfully.

If the master family were not in a hurry to acquire top-quality ginseng as a gift to the Duke, he would never dare to take the initiative and offer such a high price.

Hearing “five hundred taels,” the couple was almost dumbfounded. Even the baby girl secretly thought the old man was losing a large sum of money. It must pain him greatly to buy it.

Thinking of the poverty of her adoptive parents and silver was not easy to obtain, she forced down the grievance in her heart, pursed her lips, and stopped crying.
