54 You Want The Big One, I Want The Small One (2/2)
”Uh, hehe, Young Master, this piece was found at...” The boss was a slightly hunched old man.
Without waiting for him to continue, Jun Mo Xie interrupted him in an impatient manner.
”Do not talk nonsense; all you need to do is state your price. This Young Master has nothing but money! If something catches my attention, then even if it is a rotten piece of iron, it would become a treasure! As for this scrap iron, just state your price!”
”I understand,”
In order to be able to open a shop in the capital city, the boss was highly experienced. He could clearly see that the Young Master before him was likely one of the highly prestigious debauchees. How could someone like him provoke one of these monstrous people? He quickly replied.
”This iron’s origin is extraordinary. It is valued at eighty thousand silver liangs. However, if Young Master and Young Mistress here wish for us to forge it into a weapon for you, then it would require an additional five thousand silver liangs…”
”Oh? Eighty thousand liangs? So cheap? This Young Master will buy it!”
Jun Mo Xie put on the expression of someone who had so much money that he did not even know his own family name. He then kicked another block of iron.
”What about this broken stuff?” Jun Mo Xie radiated an overbearing aura; however, the block of iron he indicated was no ordinary iron. It was a piece of finely Tempered Steel Iron, its size far outstripped that of the Meteoric Iron, its body exuding a dark red color.
”This is a piece of Hundred Tempered Steel Iron. Even though it is not as good as the Meteoric Iron, it would still cost two thousand silver liangs,” The boss answered almost immediately. He could clearly observe that this senseless Young Master before him was one without much patience. The price of two thousand silver liangs was enough for at least three families to live without worry for one whole generation. This price was indeed quite expensive. As for the eighty thousand silver liangs earlier, it was simply an amount that the common people could not even imagine. However, when placed before these super prodigal debauchees, this price was nothing but a dime.
”Not expensive, not expensive, in fact, it is quite cheap!” Jun Mo Xie waved his hands. ”I will buy it all!” He pulled out a stack of silver bills from his chest. Those were none other than his winnings from the other day. He spat out some saliva, then moistening his fingers on his lips, he pulled out ninety thousand worth in silver bills. He slapped the bills on his hands with a resounding ”pa”. ”Here are ninety thousand liangs, keep the change!”
Dugu Xiao Yi was observing all this from the side, her face slowly changed from a smile to disappointment. Slowly, she felt coldness appear in her heart. A look of disgust appeared on her face; a strange sensation filling her heart.
I thought he had changed. It would appear that I had been mistaken. he is still the same old debauchee… Sigh!
One hand was handing the money, while the other hand was receiving the goods. Jun Mo Xie quickly finished the transaction for both blocks of iron. As of now, the two blocks of iron had belonged to Jun Mo Xie alone.
With a cold face, Dugu Xiao Yi asked. ”Third Young Master Jun, since you have paid for it, isn’t it time for you to hand over the iron to me?”
In her heart, she felt a pang of regret. If she had known that he had not changed at all, why would she still let him pay for it? In the end, it had caused her to become unhappy!
If I had wanted to find someone to help me pay for it, there are the princes, the proper Young Masters from the noble families, officials’ families. Would someone like Jun Mo Xie even get the chance? What a humiliation! Still, the Meteoric Iron is a rare material. I might as well just put up with him a little longer!
”Indeed! That is only natural!” Jun Mo Xie laughed. ”Miss Dugu, there are two blocks of iron here. You want the big one and I want the small one. I am truly honored to be able to help Miss Dugu pay for it, haha…”
”What did you just say?” Dugu Xiao Yi was just about to head towards the block of Meteoric Iron when she heard something wrong. She could not help herself as her beautiful eyes widened; she almost could not believe her own ears.
”I want the big one? You want the small one?”
Did he suddenly become an idiot? The small one is the Meteoric Iron, one not from this world. The big one is just the Hundred Tempered Steel Iron. Even though the quality is not bad, but when compared to the Meteoric Iron, it is basically comparing Heaven and Earth! Why would I even want normal Tempered Steel Iron for?
”Indeed,” Jun Mo Xie answered naturally.
”Just look, I have already bought up those two scrap iron. But I only need a little. If I am to take the big one, then it would go to waste. As the saying goes, presents for a beautiful woman must naturally be bountiful. Naturally, this big block of iron must be gifted to beauties as well. Haha, naturally, that beauty is none other than Miss Dugu here. Ah… Of course, if Miss Dugu feels that it is still insufficient, then how about I buy more of them for you. The cost is but a few thousand liangs apiece, simply cheap stuff! How about I buy up ten of them and get a carriage to send it over to your residence?”
Dugu Xiao Yi’s whole body suddenly quivered in rage!
