185. Chapter 185: Master Sun Forces the Purchase of the Soap Recipe

The group of people squeezed through the customers in the shop arrogantly and went straight to the counter.

Before Master Sun could speak, the slave said arrogantly, "Hey, I'll take all the soap in your shop; hurry up and let the idlers get out!"

Jiang Wei frowned instantly.

When the customers in the shop heard this, they were also a bit angry; they were all here to buy soap, why should they get out?

Someone wanted to stand up and speak for Jiang Wei.

But they were pulled by someone with eyes on the side, "Don't cause trouble, this is Master Sun, the rich merchant from Qingping County next door; we can't afford to offend him, let's go quickly."

When the people on the side heard this, their faces changed instantly.

Who was Master Sun? No one in Yong'an Town didn't know.

As a famous big rich merchant in Qingping County, even the Lu County Magistrate of Qingping County had to look at his face; this person was not someone they, the common people, could offend.

For a time, those who originally wanted to stand up for Jiang Wei closed their mouths and left the shop one after another.

The originally lively shop suddenly became empty and cold.

The slave beside Master Sun looked at Jiang Wei in front of him even more proudly.

His master's reputation was well-known, and no one dared to offend him.

Jiang Wei's expression didn't change, she just gently moved the abacus on the table and said slowly, "Our shop still has three hundred pieces of unscented soap, two hundred pieces of honey and goat milk moisturizing soap, and fifty pieces of floral soap, totaling two hundred and ten taels... May I ask if Master Sun wants to pay with silver notes or silver ingots?"

Upon hearing this, the few slaves beside Master Sun laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Master, this woman is really stupid and ridiculous; she really can't tell that we are here to cause trouble, and thinks we will buy her broken soap?"

Jiang Wei's expression still didn't change, and her voice was faint, "According to the laws of the Great Yin, anyone who causes trouble and infringes on others' shop business will be punished with twenty heavy strokes at the most, and will compensate for the loss of silver at the least."

"Hmph, who do you think you are! Let me tell you, in this Qingping County and Yong'an Town, my master is the law!" Several slaves spouted nonsense, posing in an arrogant manner, and even wanted to go up and smash the things on the counter.

"That's enough." Master Sun reached out to stop the few slaves; this was Yong'an Town, not Qingping County, and he didn't want to make things big, so he said to Jiang Wei inside, "I won't beat around the bush with you; tell me, how much money will it take for you to sell the soap recipe?"

Jiang Wei's expression was faint, seemingly not surprised at all that he would say such things, but looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side, "This soap was messed up by my daughter; if you want to buy it, you have to ask for her opinion first."

"Your daughter?" Master Sun and the group of slaves were stunned and turned to look at Jiang Xiaoxiao on the side, "You said the soap was made by this yellow-haired girl? How is that possible!"

Facing Master Sun's gaze full of disbelief, Jiang Xiaoxiao curled her lips and smiled, "Master Sun, I've heard of your name for a long time; I heard that you are a big rich merchant in Qingping County, with a fortune, may I ask how much money you want to use to buy my soap recipe?"

After a moment of shock, Master Sun gradually came back to his senses; he didn't care at all who had researched the soap recipe, as long as he could get his hands on it.

Thus, he stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred taels of silver."

Before coming, he had already sent someone to inquire about the identity of this mother and daughter; they were just ordinary village women, and one hundred taels of silver was enough for them to live without worry for the rest of their lives.

"One hundred taels of silver?" Jiang Xiaoxiao sneered instantly, "Looking at you, Master Sun, surrounded by people, I thought you were very rich; I didn't expect you to only be able to take out one hundred taels of silver to buy my soap recipe. Heh, it turns out that the rumor that Master Sun has a fortune is just so-so."

One hundred taels, her family could earn it by selling soap for two days; she would have to be kicked in the head to sell the soap recipe to him.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's merciless mockery completely angered Master Sun, "You, you yellow-haired girl, what did you say!"

"You yellow-haired girl are looking for death; my master taking a fancy to your recipe is your honor, and you dare to ask for money! Be sensible, hand over the recipe quickly, don't be ungrateful!" Several slaves shouted even more loudly.

"If you want the recipe, fine, take one hundred thousand taels of gold." Jiang Xiaoxiao also learned her mother's appearance, crossed her arms, and said with a cold expression.

"Good, very good, since that's the case, don't regret it!" Master Sun waved his sleeves and led the group of slaves away aggressively.

Before leaving, Shopkeeper Zhou frowned, "With Master Sun's temper, I'm afraid he won't let it go; sigh, if Young Master Jiang were still here..."

"Hmph, even if Brother Jiang isn't here, our family isn't afraid of him." Jiang Xiaoxiao pouted; don't forget, her mother is a female lead, a big female lead with a protagonist halo, afraid of no monsters or ghosts!

People like Master Sun were cannon fodder at a glance; if they dared to offend her mother, they would definitely end up in a bad situation!

"You." Jiang Wei walked out from behind the counter and tapped Jiang Xiaoxiao's forehead with her finger, "I don't know when you developed this fearless appearance."

Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged Jiang Wei's arm and acted like a spoiled child, "With Mother here, I'm not afraid of them! And for people like Master Sun who are arrogant and unreasonable, I don't want to give him face at all!"

"That's enough." Jiang Wei pulled her arm away and looked at Shopkeeper Zhou, "I've made you laugh today; I wonder why Shopkeeper Zhou came today?"

Shopkeeper Zhou still lifted the gift box in his hand, "Isn't this to send you a gift to celebrate the grand opening."

"Thank you." Jiang Wei said thank you faintly, but didn't take the gift box in Shopkeeper Zhou's hand, "I accept the intention, but the gift is unnecessary."

"Young Lady Jiang, you are too polite; the gift has been brought, how can I take it back?"

Saying this, Shopkeeper Zhou stuffed the gift box into Jiang Xiaoxiao's arms and said, "If Master Sun comes to find trouble with you in the future, just go to the county yamen to report it; the county magistrate of Qingping County doesn't do human things, but our county magistrate of Yong'an County won't let him do whatever he wants."

"Okay." Jiang Wei nodded and accepted this help.

Just after Shopkeeper Zhou left, Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to open the gift box given by Shopkeeper Zhou.

She didn't know what was in this gift box, but it was heavy.

However, after opening the gift box, she was stunned.

In the gift box, a golden toad made of pure gold, the size of a palm, was biting a copper coin in its mouth, implying the gathering of wealth and treasures, and the warding off of evil spirits.

Seeing the golden toad, Jiang Wei was also stunned, "This thing is not cheap."

Made of pure gold, it was naturally not cheap.

It was probably not sent by Shopkeeper Zhou, but by the person behind him.

"Was it sent by that County Lieutenant?" Jiang Xiaoxiao guessed what her mother was thinking.

Jiang Wei sighed, "I don't know what the intention of this County Lieutenant is..."
