Chapter 116: Chapter 116: A Big Deal Is Agreed Upon (2)_1

"Sure!" She wouldn’t leave before the deal was done.

Zhang Yan placed the skateboard on the ground and stood on one foot to try it out, "Good plan."

"Easy to say!" Pei Qin originally hadn’t expected that it was Wang Ting, the bear child, who had run into her on his own.

Wang Nuo, somewhat envious, asked, "Can I try it too?"

"Of course!" Pei Qin stepped aside and briefly instructed him on what to pay attention to.

Wang Nuo carefully stood on one foot and gently slid the other, feeling a sensation he had never experienced before. If he could do it just like Pei Qin had earlier, it would definitely be more fun.

But then, Wang Ting brought over Old Master Wang, seeing his skateboard being occupied by his second brother and little uncle, he ran over shouting, "That’s mine! You can’t take it!"

Wang Nuo stepped off feeling a little embarrassed, "There are two, you take one and give the other to me, okay?"

Wang Ting rushed over to pick up the skateboard and then pushed Zhang Yan off, holding both in his hands. He turned to Old Master Wang and said, "Grandpa! This is it! As long as we order five hundred, she’ll teach me how to skateboard!"

"Old Master Wang." Pei Qin greeted with a smile and a nod.

San Ya also hurriedly whispered a greeting to Old Master Wang.

Old Master Wang, of medium height, round and plump, smiled with squinting eyes. The sharp intelligence in his eyes, however, could not be ignored. He glanced at San Ya, then scrutinized Pei Qin, "Did your family make this skateboard?"

"I had it made in partnership with someone else," replied Pei Qin.

"So, you’re drumming up business for someone else?! " Old Master Wang’s eyebrows lifted slightly.

Pei Qin just smiled.

After looking at the crudely made skateboard in his grandchild’s arms, unfinished and unpainted, Old Master Wang said calmly, "Skate again. Let’s see."

Knowing this was a test, Pei Qin naturally wasn’t timid. She stacked the two skateboards together, jumped on, skated away, performed a few tricks with the dual boards, and then smoothly skated back to a stop.

"Seems like you are quite skilled," said Old Master Wang with a laugh.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Wang Ting tugged at his arm, whining.

Although Old Master Wang quite liked it, he was not completely at ease with Pei Qin using his youngest grandchild to do business with them. However, because of his love for his grandchild, he still had a shopkeeper from the family grocery store come over to negotiate with Pei Qin.

The shopkeeper came quickly, found the skateboard interesting and saleable, and discussed the price with Pei Qin.

Based on different materials, Pei Qin quoted several prices. After some back-and-forth haggling, they settled on a hundred wen money for ordinary woods like poplar, two hundred wen for beech and fir, and four hundred wen for premium woods like rosewood and mahogany. They signed a contract for the order and set the delivery deadlines.

Pei Qin insisted on receiving a third of the payment upfront as silver money, and quickly announced the amount, thirty-five and two taels of silver.

This caused the shopkeeper to pause, looking at Pei Qin with scrutiny, "Miss, can you do mental arithmetic?"

"A little. Enough not to get cheated!" Pei Qin said with a smile.

The shopkeeper, recognizing she knew more than a little, checked with Old Master Wang and then provided ten taels of silver as a deposit, "We’ll settle the rest when the first batch of goods arrives. We can’t let you run away with an empty promise!"

Internally cursing the old fox, Pei Qin knew that she couldn’t just take the silver and run after she had already signed and put her thumbprint on the contract! But considering their stronger position, she had no choice but to accept it.

With the snow threatening to get heavier, Pei Qin, worried about not being able to return home, went over a few key points with Wang Ting and told the servants to supervise their skateboarding, "As soon as the snow stops, I’ll come and teach you!"

Wang Ting was clearly not Happy, his little mouth puckered quite a bit, "You can stay if it snows! I bought you, to be my maids!"

Pei Qin’s mouth twitched, "Goodbye! No need to see us off!" And she left briskly with San Ya.

Zhang Yan scoffed, "Why don’t you sell the hand cart as well while you’re at it?"
