When Liu Wei saw his eyes rolling around, he knew that this guy was definitely up to no good.
Sure enough, in the next moment, he heard Tao Xing point at Gu Yundong and say, “I admit that this white sugar is real. But our bet was that you could make such snow-white white sugar. Can you guarantee that you really made this white sugar and you didn’t find it from somewhere?” The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v3l_B1n.
Gu Yundong did not expect the fire to burn her. She glanced at Liu Wei and nodded. “I made it. Do you want me to swear?”
“What’s the use of swearing?” Tao Xing snorted. “Why don’t you do it again in front of all of us? That way, we will believe that you created this thing.”
Gu Yundong was so angry that she almost laughed. In front of everyone? How could he say that?
However, the surrounding people did not mind the commotion and started to jeer. “That’s right, that’s right. Make it again in front of everyone so that we can see how this white sugar came about.”
Liu Wei flipped up his right hand. “The contracts.”
Tao Xing gritted his teeth and lowered his head slightly. His eyes became gloomy.
He asked the servant behind him to bring the contracts over and personally handed them to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei flipped through them in front of everyone. After reading them again and again, he was finally satisfied. “Don’t forget to visit the government later.”
With that, he turned around and left.
However, just as he took a step forward, he suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something.
Then, he took out the white sugar in his hand. “I almost forgot. Back then, your shopkeeper said that he would buy this white sugar back at ten times the price. It’s just right. Twenty catties for eighty taels of silver.”
Tao Xing was stunned. This white sugar... was a rare thing. It was not a bad idea to buy it back.
However, 80 taels was too expensive. Just as he was about to say that Liu Wei had scooped out a bowlful previously and wanted to lower the price, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear. “I’ll pay 100 taels. Give me these 20 catties of white sugar..”
