Shopkeeper Wu’s gaze has was always on the tiger skin. But when he heard the question, he turned his head to look at the wolf skin. It was also in good condition. After he touched it, he smiled and said: “20 silvers.”

The big man released a long sigh. Seeing somebody else goods, he realized that his good was really inferior.

Shopkeeper Wu then said to the seller: “Take him out to get the money, give him 2 silver coins.”

The big man said his thanks. In fact, before coming to the Mo Textile Shop, he also went to other textile shops. Just like what Shopkeeper Wu said, no one wanted to buy his good because it has 6 holes, so getting 2 silver coins was not bad at all.

When the big man left, Bai Zhi pointed her finger to the tiger skin and asked: “How about the tiger skin? How much is it?”

Shopkeeper Wu touched the tiger skin from top to bottom. The more he touched it, the more he gets excited. The tiger skin not only has an attractive color but also in an extremely good condition, it’s simply the best!

“How did you kill it? There wasn’t even single damage on the skin. This white tiger looked so fierce!” Shopkeeper Wu asked.

Bai Zhi smiled: “We encountered it when we went to the mountain. Luckily, it just fell dead in front of us, so we take it back home.”

Shopkeeper Wu understood that this guest doesn’t want to mention its origin. Since she doesn’t want to say, he no longer asks.

“You open a price, as long as it is appropriate, I will accept it.” Shopkeeper Wu smiled and said.

Bai Zhi shook her head: “We don’t know what to say. It’s our first time to sell this thing, we don’t know how much it cost.”

Bai Zhi looked at Shopkeeper Wu’s face, after a while, she added to say: “Although it’s our first time to sell this kind of goods, we certainly want to do business more than once. In the future, we might trouble you again. We don’t expect you to give us a higher price, but we also hope you won’t give us lower the actual cost.”

Shopkeeper Wu looked at the little girl in front of him, she looked like a 12 or 13-year-old girl, but her tone was like from an adult. She knows when to advance and when to retreat.

Shopkeeper Wu looked at Hu Feng and Awu, who was standing next to the table. These two men don’t look simple, they looked like someone from a martial arts family, dealing with these kinds of animals was not harmful to them.

“Well, you little girl is frank, so I’ll make an offer. The price of a good with top quality is usually between 100 to 300 silvers. Your tiger skin is absolutely in top quality. I won’t say anything else, I’ll give you 300 silvers, how about it?”

Bai Zhi smiled and nodded his head: “Good, it’s a deal!”

The wolf skin was worth 20 silvers, there were three so its a total of 60 silvers. Plus the tiger skin worth 300 silvers, they could get 360 silvers, which is not a small number.

Shopkeeper Wu then asked: “Do you want it in cash or silver ticket?”

Bai Zhi replied: “Give us 300 silver tickets and 60 silver coins.”

Shopkeeper Wu immediately took out 300 silver tickets and bundles of 60 silver coins and handed them to Bai Zhi.

“What is your name, little girl?”

“Bai Zhi. May I ask your name?” Bai Zhi smiled and said.

Shopkeeper Wu also smiled and said: “This old man surnamed is Wu. I am the manager of this textile shop. Although there are other textile shops, I can guarantee you that our offered price is higher than others.”

Bai Zhi nodded his head: “Shopkeeper Wu is also frank, I like making deal with frank people. If there will be another opportunity in the future, I will trouble you again.”

Shopkeeper Wu sent them out and watched them until their carriage completely disappeared. And then, he returned inside to continue appreciating the tiger skin.

“Stop, stop!” When Bai Zhi saw sugar gourds outside, she remembered her promised to Ru’er, so she hurriedly shouted for Awu to stop.

Hu Feng, who was sitting with closed eyes, opened his eyes and looked at her: “What’s wrong?”
