Tian Xiaoman chuckled. Uncle Jin's question touched her heart.

As for how to sell it, of course she had already thought about it.

"That depends on whether you sell it for meat or keep it as a pet."

"Oh? Is this different?"

"Of course!"

The little girl's eyes were sparkling and her words were powerful.

Jin Wanguan was anxious, "My little niece, please tell me about it quickly so that Uncle Jin can hear it."

“If you want to buy it to eat, then this meat will have to be sold at a higher price than regular mutton. Regular mutton costs around twenty to nearly thirty wen per pound.

But ours is alpaca, which is different from sheep. Alpaca meat is more delicate and fragrant, and it is delicious whether it is fried, stir-fried or roasted.

So even if a pound of meat is sold for a hundred or eighty coins, it is worth it. If the gimmick is created, it will surely be sold at a higher price.

After all, this is alpaca meat, a rare commodity. After all, rare things are valuable. Don’t you think so, Uncle Jin?”

Jin Wanguan nodded as he listened, his eyes also shining, as if the person standing in front of him and talking to him was not a little girl in her early teens, but a businessman with a long experience in the business world and great shrewdness.

"What if you buy it as a pet?"

Tian Xiaoman did not answer but asked, "Uncle Jin, may I ask how much money it would cost for an ordinary noblewoman to raise a cat or dog?"

Jin Wanguan thought for a moment and replied, "The pets that women keep are not ordinary breeds. If they are ordinary ones, they can be bought for a few taels or more. If they are famous or rare breeds, they can be sold for hundreds of taels or even more.

I once heard that the wife of a second-rank official in the capital city raised a mynah bird that could speak human language, and she spent a thousand taels of silver on it. "

"So..." Tian Xiaoman said confidently, "If the alpaca in my family is well-shaped and well-promoted, it is possible to sell it for more than 180 taels each. What do you think, Uncle Jin?"

Jin Wanguan's face lit up with joy, "Little niece of the Tian family, you are really a good candidate to be a businessman! Brother Tian, ​​you are blessed, very blessed!"

At this moment, Tian Danian was already stunned.

What did the little girl just say?

An alpaca is sold for one hundred and eighty taels?

My God, when they were at home, they had already discussed it. If a sheep can be sold for more than ten or twenty taels, that would be a lot of money.

Jin Wanguan's words brought Tian Danian back to his senses.

"One alpaca is 180 taels——"

Before Tian Danian could finish his words, Jin Wanguan spoke.

"Why? Brother Tian also thinks that one hundred or eighty taels of silver for an alpaca is a bit too little, right? In fact, I think so too. After all, my niece is still young and has limited thinking. But I have been in the capital for so many years. Based on my experience, if an alpaca is really sold as a pet, a few hundred taels of silver should not be a problem."

The expression on Tian Danian's face almost couldn't be suppressed.

Did he mean it?

What's going on? Are one or two of them going crazy?

A sheep - a camel, how many hundreds of taels of silver can it sell for?

Could it be that this alpaca is made of gold?

But? He no longer had a say here, because his little girl had already picked up the conversation and was discussing with Jin Wanguan how to build momentum.

Tian Danian: Well, his thinking may be narrow-minded. If he is not allowed to speak, then he can just listen with his ears.

However, the more Tian Danian listened, the more frightened he became.

Until the end, Tian Xiaoman and Jin Wanguan actually set a price for the alpacas directly - the starting price of a shaped alpaca was three hundred taels of silver each.

The father and son of the Jin family had lunch with Tian Danian and others at the inn before returning. Before leaving, Jin Wanguan suggested that Tian Danian and his sons live in the Jin Mansion.

But Tian Danian refused on the grounds that he had to go out to buy things. After all, living in the Jin family was not as convenient as living in an inn.

As for the destination of the three alpacas, Jin Wanguan patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, brother Tian, ​​I'll take care of this matter. I'm familiar with the people in the city. If you trust me, I'll take the alpacas away right away. I'll definitely sell them all within three days."

Fearing that Tian Danian would be worried, Jin Wanguan also left a silver note for one hundred taels of silver as a deposit.

Tian Danian sent Jin Wanguan and his son away in a daze. He still can't believe that he earned a hundred taels of silver so easily.

Even when he went upstairs again and only Mr. Tian and a few others were left in the room, Tian Danian still couldn't recover from the shock.

Tian Danian looked at the banknote in his hand and asked, "Old Fourth, is this alpaca so valuable?"

"Dad, it's not the alpacas that are valuable, it's people's yearning for new things that is valuable."

"What?"

Tian Danian didn't understand what the little girl said. In his opinion, alpacas are valuable.

Thinking of so many alpacas in his backyard, Tian Danian's blood suddenly boiled.

"Later, you can take all the alpacas in our backyard and shape them and bring them to the capital. These things are really valuable, much more valuable than raising cattle and sheep."

"Dad, why are you in such a hurry? This deal hasn't been completely successful yet. Let's wait until Uncle Jin sells the three alpacas."

Jin Wanguan was very quick and came to the door again within three days.

This time he didn't bring Jin Duoduo with him, he came alone. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Brother Tian, ​​great joy."

"Brother Jin, are those three alpacas sold?"

"Sold it! Of course I sold it! With all my money, selling a few alpacas is no problem.

Niece Xiaoman, come and guess how much money Uncle Jin got from selling those three alpacas?"

"How much did it sell for?" Tian Xiaoman looked at Jin Wanguan, who was very happy, and had a bold guess in his mind.

Could it be that these three alpacas were really sold at a high price?

Tian Xiaoman hesitantly stretched out a finger, "One thousand taels?"

She spoke tentatively, looking at Jin Wanguan with full expectation.

Jin Wanguan laughed, "Niece, guess a little further."

"More than one thousand taels?"

"of course."

Jin Wanguan took out a stack of banknotes from his shirt and slapped it on the table.

"Look, a total of three thousand taels."

Three thousand taels?

The four members of the Tian family were all shocked. "Three alpacas were sold for a high price of three thousand taels?"

"Yes, don't you see who is doing this job? My money is still useful in this city. To do business, you must be well-informed. Which lady likes pets? Which master wants to give a gift? Which young man wants to find a new toy? There is nothing I don't know!"
