Fate of the Stupid Son Chapter 195

“Boss Qin’s really a good bargain hunter.” Yellow Cake did not hide his mocking tone.

The nobleman had told him long ago that the one surnamed Qin would also be eyeing the recipe for ice-skinned mooncakes, and it was true.

Other people could not hear the connotation, but Mr. Qin could understand the mockery in his words, and did not take it seriously, and laughed twice, “Negotiating the price, naturally the price is negotiated down, Mr. Huang would not be able to pay a single price, right?”

“Naturally not, I’m not greedy either, if I ask for the recipe for the ice skin mooncakes together, I’ll give 40,000 taels.”

He had hurriedly gone to ask the proprietor that day, who had said that he would pay 20,000 taels for the two recipes, and it was only after he had persuaded him to agree to 30,000 taels.

“I’ll take it.”

Although the mooncakes could only be sold around the 15th of August every year, if they had the recipe, they could also develop other ice-skinned cakes and make a lot of money again.

As soon as he spoke, the rest of them spoke up, some even took out a few silver tickets and put them on the table in front of Huang Gao, “Here’s the deposit, I’ll have someone go back and get the rest right away.”

Boss Qin’s smile was completely gone.

He really couldn’t make up his mind about the 40,000 taels, but at this time if he went to ask the proprietor again he would inevitably be robbed by others.

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his voice, “Everyone, didn’t Boss Huang say that the highest bidder would win, I offer 41,000 taels.”

The rest of the people were stunned again, then reacted and raised their bids.

“I bid forty-one thousand five hundred taels.”

“Forty-one thousand six hundred liang.”

“Forty-one thousand …….”

“Fifty thousand!”

Boss Qin gave the highest price directly.

The room instantly fell silent, and the remaining few people instantly looked at him again.

Boss Qin scanned the crowd, “A few of you, are there any more bids?”

Seeing that he was determined to win, the rest of the people looked at each other and got up to leave, the last one tucking the silver ticket he had placed on the table back in.

When everyone had left, Mr. Qin also rose unhurriedly, “I can’t get so many silver tickets out of my shop for a while, so I hope that Mr. Huang will give me a day or two of grace.”

“Good point.”

He deliberately raised the price to fifty thousand, in order to scare the others away, so that no one would dare to come to the door again, and the initiative would be in his hands, and after a few days of delay, he would come back to bargain.

He thought very well, but did not expect that Song Wangyue had already anticipated that this might happen and had given Huang Gao an idea early on. After he had left, the woman went out through the back door and caught up with the man who had just paid the deposit, “Boss Liu, our boss has something to say to you.”

……

Today was also the day that Song Si was due to leave the examination hall, so Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi came over after lunch as usual.

Because it was the last one, all the students’ families came early, and there were people everywhere outside the examination hall, gathering in twos and threes to ask each other about the students’ examinations.

Song Wangyue and Gu Yi went straight to the front, and when the soldiers guarding the gate saw them, they subconsciously looked towards the inside of the examination hall.

They had been guarding the door for so many days and naturally knew that Song Wangyue and the others had come to be the first to come out of the two consecutive exams, the student called Song Si.

About an hour later, the examination hall door slowly opened, and all the people looked towards the door in unison, and it was still Song Si who was the first to come out with his salute.

“Look, look, it’s him again!”

“Look at the way he’s so confident, in all probability, he’ll be this year’s Jieyuan.”

“I don’t know where he’s from, but if our son gets on the list, can we make friends with him?”

……

The first two times he did not come so early, although he heard that someone came out first twice in a row, but did not think about Song Si, because the government test is only the most important test, and if you win the examination, you are eligible to become an official, he thought that even if Song Si is learned and thoughtful, he will certainly be careful and careful again, and will not come out of the examination room until the last minute.

When he heard the chatter of the crowd, he realised it was Song Si, and without thinking, he pushed his way through the crowd to the front.

Song Si looked even more tired than when he came out of the last examination, but his eyes were glowing. He had discussed the last question with the dean and naturally he was able to write like a god.

Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi also came forward, and looking at Song Si’s glowing eyes, they knew he had done well in the exam, and gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

Song Si smiled and rubbed her head.

“Sir Song, Miss Song.”

Master Sun panted and squeezed over, seeing them about to head out, and hastened to greet them.

The candidates hadn’t quite come out yet, so he didn’t dare to be too loud, and even so, the three saw him, and Song Si nodded slightly towards him.

The entrance to the examination hall really wasn’t the place to talk, and Master Sun quickly said, “I’ve booked a table at the restaurant for the evening, and I hope that Sir Song and Miss Song will be kind enough to come.”

Without waiting for the two to reply, Gu Yi took over, “We’ve already bought the food, we’ll eat at home in the evening, let’s talk tomorrow.”

Master Sun was afraid of him, so he didn’t dare to say anything else and nodded, “That’s fine, I’ll send Jin’er over to see Mr. Song tomorrow.”

……

The first thing I did was to put the 40,000 taels of silver in my arms and ask the woman to go and see if the two noblemen had arrived so he could give them the silver.

But he waited until it was almost dark but no one came.

“Old man, haven’t the noblemen left?”

Huang Gao shook his head, “No, didn’t they say they would wait until we had sold the recipe before leaving? They should be busy with something and not have time to come. You do this, bring the net bucket in at night, close the door of the house and then put the table good chairs on top, whatever happens, even if the house is on fire, as long as it doesn’t burn to our house, don’t go out.”

……

When Song Si returned home, he went to the bathing room to take a bath.

A boy came in and said a few words beside Xiao Si.

Xiao Si walked into the house and reported to Gu Yi and Song Wan Yue, “Huang’s boss sold the formula for a total of 40,000 taels, and the two have been waiting for Young Master and Miss Song to go over.”

Song Wan Yue nodded, “Have someone protect them tonight, and tell them first thing in the morning that we are leaving today.”

Xiao Si withdrew and instructed the boy who had come to report the news.

By the time Song Si finished bathing and came out, Song Wangyue and Gu Yi acted as if nothing had happened.

Song Si said as she rubbed her hair, “Yue’er, send someone to tell the landlord later that we’ll go home first thing in the morning and ask him to come over early to inspect the house.”

“Won’t big brother wait for the red list to come out?”

“No, I’m a bit homesick after being away from home for so long.”

Gu Yi foolishly revealed him, “Big brother isn’t homesick, he is uneasy about the 20,000 taels of silver, right?”
