The Farmer‘s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 190 - 190: Almost Corrupted by Money



“I offer 110 taels.”

“One hundred and twenty taels.”

“One hundred and fifty taels.”

One after another, voices sounded in the hall. These young masters were not short of money, especially those from families who did business. How could this hundred and eighty taels compare to such rare white sugar?

Liu Wei’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect this bag of white sugar to be auctioned.

But this sugar belonged to Gu Yundong. He turned to ask for her opinion.

Gu Yundong’s eyes were also sparkling. Let the prodigal sons come more fiercely. She was very short of money now.

However, reality was cruel.

Soon, a steward who had been following Old Master Liu came down and walked to their side. He said softly, “Old Master said that it’s not wrong for Miss Gu to want to take the opportunity to earn more money, but it’s not good to go too far. After all, Miss Gu is about to start a white sugar business. This will be no longer unique. The young master who bought the white sugar later will feel that the price was too high and you might make enemies. The impression of Miss Gu on the people present will also worsen. In the future, the business will be affected. Peace is still the most important thing in doing business.”

When Shao Qingyuan heard this, he nodded slightly. “Old Master Liu is right. Moreover, it’s best to sell the candy to the Tao family.”

Gu Yundong knew that Old Master Liu was teaching him. He was afraid that she would not be able to withstand the temptation at such a young age. She was someone who could listen to opinions. Her eyes quickly calmed down from ‘it’s all money’.

She took a deep breath and said to the manager, “Thank you, Uncle Liu. Yundong understands.”

The steward went up with relief.

Gu Yundong saw that the bids were getting more and more ridiculous. Some people even raised the price to 400 taels for the sake of personal feelings. Moreover, it seemed that the others had no intention of stopping.

She secretly wiped her sweat. She had almost been corrupted by money.

“Everyone, be quiet.” Gu Yundong suddenly spoke. The group of people who were arguing until their faces were red immediately stopped. They heard her say, “I’m really sorry, everyone. I still have to give this sugar to the Tao family. After all, we agreed back then.”

Tao Xing was angry at first, but when he heard this, he was instantly happy.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yundong continued, “It’s just that Young Master Liu was wrong about one thing. Back then, the shopkeeper said that he would buy it back at ten times the price, so it was ten times the price of this white sugar. And this white sugar will be released soon. At that time, the price will be 100 copper coins per tael. Here, 20 catties is 32 taels, so ten times the price is 320 taels. So Young Master Tao, for 320 taels, this sugar is yours.”

This was not wrong. If Qin Wenzheng brought it back, the Imperial Court would set the price at 100 copper coins per tael of white sugar.

Gu Yundong felt that the price was actually not bad. Many people could afford it. She remembered that white sugar used to be a luxury item that only the royal family could afford in England.

When the people present heard this price, they felt that it was very acceptable. The bid just now had soared to 600 taels.

Tao Xing almost vomited blood. Previously, he found 80 taels too expensive, but now it was 320 taels.

He wouldn’t pay. Whoever wanted it could have it.

But before he could say anything, he heard a dignified voice behind him. “Tao Xing, give it to her. The Tao family won’t go back on their word and bully a girl.”

Tao Xing suddenly turned around and saw his father, who was originally in the private room upstairs, standing behind him with a very ugly expression..
