Chapter 62: Violent Child
The waiter’s expression turned serious as he asked, “Miss, do you want to sell it in parts or in whole?”
Selling in parts meant that the girl would only sell individual parts of the tiger like tiger bones and hearts, but she’d keep the rest. The opposite would be selling the tiger as a whole.
Lin Yuelan replied crisply, “I’ll sell it in parts! I want to keep this tiger skin for myself!”
The tiger had been bitten many times by Little White, but she had used her power to repair it.
Therefore, the tiger skin was not damaged at all and was very intact.
She wanted to keep it for herself. When the new house was built, it could be used as a cushion. It would be warm and comfortable.
The waiter thought for a moment and said, “I’ll go find the shopkeeper. Please wait a moment.”
After saying that, the waiter went in through the inner gate.
Not long after, a man in his forties with a long beard walked out from the inner gate with a slightly stern expression.
At this moment, Lin Yuelan jumped from the chair to the counter. Her big eyes were filled with surprise as she looked at the ancient medicinal herb shop that was emitting a medicinal fragrance.
Her hands were propped up on both sides, and her feet were swaying. Her eyes were looking around at everything around her, causing the passersby who had been following her to have the corners of their mouths twitch.
This child looked like she was filled with innocence and curiosity, but wasn’t she too relaxed?
She was here to sell a tiger and not to play, right?
The waiter saw Lin Yuelan sitting leisurely on the counter, and the corner of his mouth also twitched. However, he quickly pointed at Lin Yuelan and said to the shopkeeper, “Manager, this is the child who said she was going to sell the tiger.”
The manager’s expression was slightly stunned when he saw the child. However, when he saw the child’s swinging her legs, his reaction was the same as the other teams, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He went forward and asked, “Child, are you selling this tiger?”
Lin Yuelan turned her head and nodded. “Yes, I’m selling it. Shopkeeper, how much can you give me for it?”
Lin Yuelan did not have the reserved and shy manner of a girl. She directly started talking about money.
The shopkeeper went around the counter and walked to the tiger on the ground. He walked around the big tiger, squatted down, and flipped it. Then, he said, “Child, can you sell me the whole tiger? I can give you a high price! How about 400 taels of silver?”
Usually, such a big tiger would fetch a high price of 350 taels. However, he did not find any wounds on the tiger’s body. Its fur was intact and very fresh. This increased its medicinal properties.
Then, he could sell the tiger meat and tiger skin separately. The tiger skin alone could sell for 300 taels. Therefore, even if he bought it at 400 taels of silver, he could turn a high amount of profit. At the very least, he could make a profit of 400 to 500 taels of silver.
One couldn’t really blame the shopkeeper. He was a businessman who was looking for profit.
The price he offered was already very high.
Lin Yuelan might look like a child, but her soul was an adult. She was 32 when she died. In this era, she could be considered an old woman already. At her age, normal women would have several grandchildren already.
Lin Yuelan also knew that the price the shopkeeper offered was very generous, but she shook her head and said, “No, I want tiger skin! How about I sell you everything else but the tiger skin for 380 taels?”
The corner of the shopkeeper’s mouth twitched once again.
‘Is this girl dreaming? Without the perfect tiger skin, how can the tiger be worth 380 taels?’ The shopkeeper shook his head and said, “Child, without this tiger skin, this tiger is worth at most 300 taels!”
Lin Yuelan’s tender little face immediately said with a grin, “Uncle Shopkeeper, when I beat this tiger, I knocked it out with one punch and then suffocated it to death. As you can see, there’s not one drop of blood or a single wound on its body. Its well-preserved organs will be incredibly valuable medical ingredients.
“Clearly, it’ll be worth more than 300 taels. In any case, I won’t sell it for one copper coin less than 300 taels of silver.”
When Lin Yuelan said that she knocked the tiger out with one punch, the shopkeeper, his waiter, and the curious passers-by were terrified!
How crazily strong was this child?
