Chapter 207: 漫天要价

[Demand for sky-high prices]

Yao Fei had such a good hand now, she would definitely not be willing to let someone else take her out at this critical time.

Then she would definitely agree to all of her sorts of demands for the antidote.

After such a long period of silence, 

Concubine Yao finally compromised, “Tell me ba, what do you want so you will give me the antidote?”

Lu Yunluo smiled lightly, ‘Nah, this is right.’

There was no business in this whole world that couldn’t be negotiated.

“Firstly, give me back every cent of the silver you took from me.”

“Cai He, go and take out the silver.” Concubine Yao looked at the flower-like features and moonlike face—a great beauty, Lu Yunluo across from her with a gloomy face.

This Cai He seemed to be much more stable in her work than Cui Yu Shan from before.

After coming over and seeing the spots on Consort Yao’s face, she lowered her head without asking any questions.

Seems to know the palace set, what you have to see, what not to see, what you are supposed to ask, what not to ask.

Very soon, the silver ticket was taken out.

“That shitty shop of yours has only earned a total of more than a hundred taels of silver in twenty days. Here, two hundred taels in silver cheques. You take all of them. You can give me the antidote now, right?” Concubine Yao said in a cold voice.

Lu Yunluo took the silver cheque and carefully checked it, it was indeed two hundred taels. After putting it away, she said, “No rush, these two hundred taels were originally mine.”

“Now, let’s talk about the price of this milk tea recipe, and also the ice making method.”

Lu Yunluo’s body leaned on the back of the chair behind her.

The words spoken remained unhurried.

Concubine Yao knew that if she wanted to get this antidote today, she was afraid that she would have to lose a lot of blood (money).

“You make a price, ba.”

“Yao Fei Mei Mei is really straightforward, seeing how you are so cooperative, how can I not ask for more of your silver? Don’t worry, I’ll give you a discount, counting these two formulas will be the same 50,000 taels of silver.” Lu Yunluo said very considerately, thinking that she had given Concubine Yao a very kind and fair price.

“The same fifty thousand taels? Lu Yunluo, you’re not afraid to hold out!” Concubine Yao knew that she would definitely be blackmailed severely by Lu Yunluo, but how could she not expect her ambition to be so big? 

Two formulas together cost 100,000 taels?

Not to mention that she didn’t go outside the palace to open a shop, even if she did, how much would she have to sell to earn it back? 

Lu Yunluo smiled and said, “Mei Mei, you have to think like this, you spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy the formula and published it to the world, the people will certainly thinking of your kindness, you then will become people’s most favorite Niang Niang (Concubine). Mei Mei is so deeply conscious of the righteousness of a cause (clear on matters of principle). For the sake of the ordinary people of the Dong Lan Kingdom, this 100,000 taels of silver, this small amount of money, counts as what? Mei Mei, shouldn’t be fuss over it, right?”

Lu Yunluo lightly returned what Concubine Yao had just said to her.

Concubine Yao’s face, which was covered in red spots, was immediately infuriated and especially fierce.

Good (sarcasm meaning here) this one Lu Yunluo, even sharp-tongued like this. 

One hundred thousand taels is still called this small amount of money?

Does she know how much silver this 100,000 taels is?

Lu Yunluo accepted Consort Yao’s sinister gaze in a calm and unperturbed manner.

She came today, no other task, just to slaughter (rule over) her.

She had inquired about it. 

This Concubine Yao, her mother’s family, had businesses in all five countries.

The silver in hand, although it couldn’t be compared to Lan Gui Ren’s family’s gold mines, she was definitely not ‘lack of money master’. 

With 100,000 taels of silver, she was sure that Consort Yao could take it out.

Time passed slowly.

Yao Fei finally agreed to Lu Yunluo’s exorbitant price for the antidote.

It was a good thing that during the summer, someone from her uncle’s family had come to ask her about the recipe for this cold drink.

She originally did think of publishing the recipe to win the hearts of the people for herself to use.

Now it seems that she can only resell the milk tea recipe to her uncle.
