Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let’s Farm

Chapter 1523: Chapter 1522: For the Friendship of Grassland and Daqi_1

“How about one sheep for one jar of Floral Dew?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.

One sheep for a jar of Floral Dew?

Jina’s eyes widened in shock.

She thought she must have heard incorrectly and hurriedly turned her head to look at the Maid standing behind her.

Her Maid, too, hailed from the Grassland, yet was proficient in the language of Daqi Country, but even this fluent Maid wore a stunned expression now. One sheep equal to one jar of Floral Dew?

A sheep could sell for just over ten taels silver or even less than ten if it were smaller. Qiao Xiaomai was operating at a loss…

Seeing the astonishment of the mistress and servant, Qiao Xiaomai smiled and said, “Your status is different, marrying into Daqi signifies the lasting friendship between Daqi and the Grassland, and since it’s about friendship, I can’t take your silver.”

“Of course, this special offer is only for one time. Next time you buy, it’ll be at the original price. Plus, there’ll be a purchase limit, as I can’t sell too many to you.”

Upon hearing this, Jina turned again to look at her Maid, who nodded at her, confirming that she had neither misheard nor misunderstood Qiao Xiaomai’s words.

She became elated, very elated, and suddenly jumped up from her seat, “Miss Qiao, thank you, thank you, thank you…”

She repeated the words of thanks over and over again, dancing with joy. If it weren’t for the fact that they were at Qiao Residence, she would no doubt have broken into a dance right then and there.

Watching her so happy, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but smile too.

This Jina was only around sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features. However, her complexion was that of the typical Grassland hue, which greatly affected her perceived beauty. Qiao Xiaomai understood why she wanted to buy the Floral Dew.

But to trade cattle and sheep for Floral Dew was just squandering wealth.

She must be out of her mind.

You can’t swindle a fool.

“Sit down, sit down.” Qiao Xiaomai waved her hand to motion her to sit and asked, “How many cattle and sheep do you have?”

“Five thousand, both cattle and sheep, five thousand each.” Jina gestured with her hands to indicate the number.

Qiao Xiaomai responded with an “Oh,” Five thousand sheep and five thousand cattle, that’s ten thousand in total. Quite a large number, it seemed Jina was greatly favored.

Just last year, people from the Grassland brought a thousand each to celebrate Yang Wenxiao’s ninetieth birthday, and the cattle and sheep they now raised at Qiao Residence were from that batch sent from the Grassland.

“Are they all on your estate now?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.

“Mhm, mhm, mhm.” Jina nodded repeatedly.

“Well then, how about this: you give me fifty sheep and fifty cattle, and I’ll give you a hundred jars of Floral Dew, how about that?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.

Upon hearing this, Jina turned once more to look at her Maid, who smiled and said, “Miss Qiao, that’s too cheap.”

“For the sake of the friendship between the Grassland and Daqi, it’s fine to be cheaper,” Qiao Xiaomai smiled, “but I can’t give such a discount next time.”

“Then thank you, Miss Qiao,” the Maid promptly expressed gratitude.

Seeing this, Jina quickly also voiced her thanks.

And so, the deal was struck, for the sake of the friendship between the Grassland and Daqi, Qiao Xiaomai practically gave away a hundred jars of Floral Dew.

Moreover, this batch of a hundred jars of Floral Dew was prioritized over other customers’ orders.

The news of this deal made others green with envy.

A hundred jars, that’s worth a hundred thousand taels silver! This girl from the Barbarian Tribes of the Grassland got them in exchange for a mere hundred heads of cattle and sheep. What unbelievable luck!

The status of being from the Grassland was too advantageous!

But such an envious status couldn’t simply be attained by envy alone. As ladies of substance, culture, and sophistication, they would not stoop to acquiring a barbarian status at the expense of their own.

It was just a hundred thousand taels silver after all, merely amounting to a few years’ worth, which they could afford to spend.
