Chapter 57: See if she can do it

June 5, 2023Ai Hrist

Only then did Shi Qingluo stop beating Shi Laosi and let him go.

She rubbed her wrists and complained: “If Grandma did this earlier, I don’t have to work so hard.”

Old Lady Shi: “… …”

Did she work so hard?

It was her son who suffers, okay?

Since Shi Laosi was let go, he immediately hid behind the old lady, rubbing his face and hands.

It hurts so much. This dead girl slaps people with so much force. No wonder his third brother and sisters-in-law were so afraid of her.

“Mother, it’s important to get down to business.” He tugged on the old lady’s sleeve and said in a low voice.

Old Lady Shi endured her resignation, and said to Shi Qinglou: “Daya, it’s a good thing for you that we come today.”

Shi Qingluo guessed right away, besides wanting tofu recipes, the main purpose of these people should be soil bombs.

But she pretended not to know, “What good thing?”

Old Lady Shi said: “The Wu family is very interested in that little black ball in your hand, and wants to buy it with silver.”

Shi Qingluo played with the cane and asked: “What price?”

Shi Laosi said, “5 taels of silver each.”

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow: “Do you treat me as a beggar?”

Looking at Shi Laosi again with a half-smile, she asked: “How many kickbacks did you get?”

Shi Lao Si: “… …”

This damn girl must have been transformed fox, she is so smart.

He hated her so much in his heart, but he couldn’t help but put on a smile on his face: “You’re joking, we just set an agreement, the Wu family said they would give me something in return.”

Meaning, he doesn’t admit to taking kickbacks.

Shi Qingluo didn’t bother to ask this question: “Go and tell the Wu family, 100 taels per small black ball. If they want it, they can buy it, but if they don’t want it, then I will sell it to others. I don’t believe I won’t be able to sell it.”

Shi Laosi had a black line on his head: “100 taels, you might as well grab it.”

The Wu family offered to give ten taels of silver per piece, and they planned to eat five taels of silver each.

However, this dead girl dared to ask for a price, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the price increased by ten times.

Shi Qingluo sneered: “100 taels of silver each is worth it. Those little black balls were refined by my master, but will be used to earn merit by the Wu Family.”

“What’s more, do you think the Wu Family is poor like you guys? And don’t have any vision?”

Shi Laosi and others: “… …”

Just talk about things, don’t compare them!

This dead girl’s mouth was too annoying.

Mrs. Niu was stunned and said: “But 100 taels are too expensive, isn’t it?”

One hundred taels per that little black ball? Wasn’t that the price offered by the Wu Family to marry off this dead girl to their young master?

Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow and said, “Do you know the Bai Family? They came to our house for dinner just now.”

“Their Wu family can’t afford the price, but Young Master Bai can.”

“You go and talk to the Wu Family about the price, and they will most likely agree.”

“Then per small black ball, you can ask the Wu Family for 5 or 10 taels of silver, which will be used for your escape and the cost of persuading me.”

“I’m still thinking about you.” She gave them an interesting look.

Anyway, it was Shi Laosi who going to ask for the money. The little black balls she made herself have limited effect and the exact formula cannot be researched. The Wu Family’s anger will be focused on the Shi Family.

Especially these best products tried to make a small fortune without knowing it.

At first, she was still thinking about how to find Shi Laosi and talk about selling soil bombs to the Wu family.

Who knows that these best products will deliver themselves to her door on their initiative?

Since they took the initiative to send themselves, she was not tricking them.

And who made these superb products think about her tofu?

If it weren’t for her strength, these top products of the Shi Family must be dominating the Xiao family at this moment.

The Shi Family: “… …”

They don’t believe that this dead girl would be so kind.

But they couldn’t refuse.

Old Lady Shi turned around and asked Shi Laosi: “You go to Wu Family and ask. If they don’t want to buy it, say that the Bai family will buy it.”

Although she was an old lady in the country, she also knows that if there was competition, people would immediately buy it.

However, letting this dead girl earn so much at once, she felt very distressed.

Shi Qingluo also smiled and said: “Yes, you can tell the Wu family just like that.”

She guessed that the reason why Shi Family came to their door today was that the servant who followed them went back to report. The Wu Family might have misunderstood that Bai Xu was also here for the little black ball.

Or maybe he was afraid that Bai Xu would find the little black ball and seize the opportunity, so he couldn’t wait.

If it weren’t for Xiao Hanzheng being a well-known junior talent in the county, it would be easy for them to look for people and clean them up.

And because of the new county magistrate, the Wu Family chose a gentle method.

But Shi Qingluo was sure that even if she gives the Wu Family the small black ball, the Wu Family would not let her go in the future.

If she gave them the real small black ball after the Wu family researched the real formula, then her death would not be far.

So no matter whether she was cheating on the Shi Family or the Wu Family, she didn’t have any psychological burden.

At this time, Shi Laosi was also nervous. He was afraid that this dead girl would give the little black ball to the Bai family. He had guaranteed the Wu family that he could get it.

“I’m going to the county town now.”

Shi Qinglou waved her hand: “Hurry up, no matter what the result is tonight, don’t come to our house to disturb me, we’ll talk about it tomorrow.”

She still has to make soil bombs tonight with reduced power but has the same amplified firecrackers.

Shi Laois: “… …”

This dead girl’s temper is too much, let’s see if she can keep it.

However, he could only nod aggrieved: “Okay, then we’ll come back tomorrow.”

Wait for him to get close to the big tree of the Wu family, and then pass the scholar test,, let’s see how he deals with this dead girl.

He remembered her public whipping today.

Hearing what Shi Laosi said, Old Lady Shi and others could only reluctantly leave.

After going out, Old Lady Shi and the others were still complaining: “That dead girl doesn’t care about affection. Even if we learn how to make tofu, we won’t be able to steal much business from her.”

“What a pity.”

Shi Laosi rolled his eyes: “Mother, after I climb up to Wu Family, I will find a way to snatch the tofu workshop and let us open it ourselves. For now, just let that dead girl be arrogant first.”

Old Lady Shi’s originally ugly face suddenly showed a smile: “Yes, once we snatch the tofu workshop that dead girl will cry.”

Thinking about it, a few people felt a lot more comfortable.

Shi Laosi didn’t go home but went directly to Wu Family’s mansion in the county town.

As Shi Qingluo expected, the Wu Family became anxious when they heard that she might give the little black ball to Bai Xu.

Although they found one hundred and ten taels was too expensive, if the power was so great and can be researched, then one thousand taels was worth it.

The Patriarch of the Wu family was very shrewd. He has already guessed that the additional ten taels per small black ball would be swallowed by Shi Laosi.

But even though he will pay too much, he didn’t care about this small amount of money.

Let that dead girl and the Shi Family take advantage of them first, but in the future, not only they will spit it out, but she will even pay for their life!

Therefore, he agreed to the request.

On the other side, Shi Qingluo started to make an improved version of soil bombs.

A lot of medicine powder and stone powder were added to it, and after mixing, it can be guaranteed that the Wu family will not be able to research the formula.

Xiao Hanzheng accompanied Shi Qingluo to the mountains to test the effect.

After adjusting it to a level that the Wu family can accept, but cannot be researched, they went down the mountain.

Of course, it was also the kind that can’t kill people.

It sounds scary, but its power was limited. Otherwise, if the Wu Family wanted to use it to do evil, it will be bad.
