Chapter 450 What reward do you want?

But he still pretended to be calm on his face: "That's all trivial. When can you arrange the person to pick up the feather? If you are not ready yet, I will go back and talk to our adults and give you more time."

Si Qing's big black eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he said softly to his fingers with some embarrassment:

"I really need you to go back and talk to Mr. Zhao. The ten taels of silver I mentioned last time was too little. I asked the craftsmen who picked up the feathers, and they said it would cost at least fifty taels of silver."

"Fifty taels? This is not a big problem. I can just go back and talk to our adults." Xing Wu hesitated for a moment, but he didn't think it was very expensive.

You must know that a highly skilled craftsman can earn up to a thousand taels in Shangjing. Of course, these are extremely famous craftsmen, and ordinary people cannot reach it.

But if you can add feathers to a peacock, you still can't tell. Fifty taels of silver for this kind of skill is not considered high.

This is also the reason why Xing Wu was able to accept it in one go.

Seeing Xing Wu's willingness to agree, Si Qing felt a little regretful that he should have quoted a higher price just now, but fifty taels was just fifty taels, which was already a huge sum of money for Xiao He and the others.

Moreover, if the offer is too high, Si Qing doubts whether Mr. Zhao can still afford so much money. After all, he has already spent thirty thousand taels of silver for the peacock feather.

But you can’t keep trying to pluck it out. If it becomes bald, you won’t be able to pluck it out in the future.

Si Qing touched his chin and said with a smile: "Then I'll go down and talk to the craftsman who picked up the feathers. If it's quick, I should be able to go to the county government office in the future."

"That's good, you have to hurry up." Upon hearing this, Xing Wu clapped his hands happily.

Si Qing tilted his little head and looked at Xing Wu with a childish expression: "Hey, I helped you solve such a big problem. Should you give me some reward?"

Xing Wu: "Reward?"

Si Qing nodded and said with a sweet voice: "You see, if my tiger hadn't found the peacock from the mountain, you adults might not be able to find the peacock in this life, let alone I helped you find it and could catch the feathers.

I have solved another problem for you sir. This time you have made a contribution through the peacock, so you should give me some reward because of your emotions and reasons."

Xing Wu heard what Si Qing said was clear and logical, and felt that they really should give her a reward.

But what kind of reward should be given?

"What reward do you want?" Xing Wu asked.

Si Qing touched his chin and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's wait until we go to the county government office the next day to discuss it!"

"Well, you first think carefully about what kind of reward you need, and you will talk to Mr. Zhao about the same thing later." Xing Wu said and handed over the oil paper bag at hand.

"This is the Wufangzhai cake I brought for you. You can keep it as a snack."

Si Qing looked at the large bag of cakes handed over by Xing Wu, took it with crooked eyebrows, and said softly thanks.

Xing Wu chatted with Si Qing for a few more words in the living room, and then was escorted out of the village by Si Zhengping.

After seeing off Xing Wu, Si Zhengping couldn't wait to return to Si's house and asked Si Qing: "Auntie, are young He and the others going to the county government office to pick up Yu in the future?"

"Yes." Si Qing nodded, took out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the oil paper bag and ate it.

Si Zhengping couldn't help but look a little more worried: "Auntie, I've only been practicing for a month, can they handle it well?"

"Of course it's no problem. Just go back and arrange the ox cart, and we'll leave for the Yamen the next morning." Si Qing replied.

Si Zhengping responded, but he still felt a little uneasy, so much so that when he went back to teach Li Daya and the others, he was a little distracted and continued to endorse.
