“I can provide you with one-thousand fruits. Of course, if you can continue to meet me, I can provide you with 800 yearly. Each fruit can allow 100 bowls of food to reach this level of taste. I have 500 of these now.” Qing Shui gave it some thought. Since he can harvest 1000 Drunken Fragrance Fruits yearly, he decided to hold some restraint in his offer.
Hearing Qing Shui’s words, Huoyun Liu-Li’s eyes flashed and she nodded, “Alright, that’s fine. How much does each fruit cost? What is a suitable price for us to sell it?”
Qing Shui shook his head. “You can ignore the cost of the fruit. The troublesome thing is that it cannot be mass produced, therefore you’ll need to control the amount sold.”
Huoyun Liu-Li nodded, and continued with the food before smiling at Qing Shui. “I’ll use one a day, and sell them only to those old men who are extremely picky and rich. One bowl per person in a day. Each bowl would be 8000 taels of silver. You take 6000 and I take 2000. What do you think?”
Qing Shui smiled and slowly shook his head! He lamented that the wealthy are really rich, but he soon understood it more after giving it some thought. After all, there were no less than 90 million population in the prosperous and wealthy Cang Lang County.
“You take 7000 and I’ll take 1000.”
Qing Shui continued to shake his head gently. Huoyun Liu-Li could not understand his smile. She said that she would not treat him shabbily. This fruit was provided by him and she could ignore her own costs. Therefore, she did not wish to take advantage of Qing Shui. She first suggested doing a 6-2 split, then a 7-1 split, but this fellow had rejected both proposals.
“If you can really sell it at 8000 taels per bowl, we can do a 6-2 split. However, I’ll take the 2 and you take the 6.” Qing Shui looked at this intelligent beauty whom he could not fathom and said.
“No, definitely not!” Huoyun Liu-Li said firmly.
“Do we have to draw the line so clearly? How about this, a 50-50 split. If it’s still a no, then I won’t provide you with the goods.” Qing Shui had long expected this to occur and even thought of the final result.
After a short thought, Huoyun Liu-Li revealed that demoness seductive smile and said, “You’re right. We don’t need to draw the line so clearly. We’ll do as you say.”
“I’m now penniless and have no place to stay. Do you think I can borrow your place to stay for the night?” Qing Shui said apologetically.
Huoyun Liu-Li shuddered embarrassedly and dropped that seductive smile!
