When Mrs. Qi finished cooking the noodles and called everyone in the house to serve, the people inside had already agreed on the matter of buying the shop.
Four hundred taels is indeed a lot, but the family could still manage to come up with it.
As for bargaining, after some discussion, everyone ultimately gave up on the idea.
The reason being, the shop was the private property of the county magistrate, and they truly did not have the courage to haggle with him.
It was good enough not to have to send gifts to the county magistrate; bargaining would be like inviting his displeasure.
After finishing the noodles and chatting idly for a while, everyone finally went to their respective rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, the Qi Family's carriage headed to the city once more.
This time, there were two carriages again.
Driving the carriage were still Qi Quanjin and Qi Ercai, but there were a lot more people sitting in the carriage this time.
