Li Banfeng wrote the Contract Book, meticulous in every stroke, clearly stating the principal and interest.
He had borrowed the money for Gloves. This had to be explicitly stated, and he must repay it.
Gloves said from the side, "Head of the household, you are accusing me! I just mentioned borrowing as a joke. What is mine is yours, just use it as you please!"
Li Banfeng shook his head, "What’s yours is yours. If it’s borrowed, it has to be paid back."
Once the Contract Book was clear, Li Banfeng moved all the Silver Yuan and gold into the bedroom overnight and summoned Feng Chongli and Feng Xincheng.
Seeing a room full of Silver Yuan, Feng Xincheng was astounded.
Feng Chongli looked at the Silver Yuan intently for a moment, his expression solemn, and said to Li Banfeng, "We’re still short by 352 yuan."
Li Banfeng didn’t hesitate and immediately reached for his wallet.
Why was he so prompt? Because Li Banfeng and Gloves had calculated together and indeed found they were short by over 300 yuan.
Such sensitivity to money was truly befitting a high-level Business Cultivator.
After receiving the banknotes, Feng Chongli said to Li Banfeng, "Boss Li, please wait here for a moment."
Before long, Feng Chongli returned to the room, carrying a pair of Yellow Rosewood rectangular boxes, which he handed to Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng opened the boxes; each contained an Iron Ruler.
The luster of the Iron Rulers wasn’t particularly eye-catching. Some parts showed signs of wear, and there were even rust marks.
Li Banfeng pretended to examine them for a long time and finally nodded, "Boss Feng, please also wait here for a moment."
After leaving the room, he opened another room downstairs, entered the Portable Residence, and asked Gloves, "Do you think these are real?"
Gloves stood up straight and said, "Head of the household, what kind of question is that? I’ve never seen an Iron Ruler; how would I know if they are real or fake?"
Li Banfeng nodded, "Right, you’ve never seen them. Who do you think has?"
Gloves brought his thumb and middle finger together, wagged his index finger, and said, "If you ask me, since it’s our residence’s item, naturally we should ask the residence."
Li Banfeng nodded. "That makes sense. But the residence has so many rooms. Which one would be more appropriate to ask about this?"
Gloves tried to maintain a steady stance, thought for a moment, and replied, "Back when our residence was stealing oil, it was put in the Third Room. I think the Third Room has quite the Spiritual Energy."
Li Banfeng also felt it made sense. He took the Iron Rulers to the Third Room, looked at Gloves, and said, "The residence doesn’t always respond to me. How do you think I should ask it?"
Gloves controlled his trembling body, thought for a while, and answered, "I think, since it’s the residence’s item, why not put it on the ground and see how the residence deals with it."
"That makes sense." Li Banfeng placed the pair of Iron Rulers on the ground of the Third Room.
After a moment, the pair of Iron Rulers gradually melted, sinking into the ground and disappearing from sight.
PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!
HOOOOT!
A steam whistle sounded, and all the rooms trembled in turn.
The Portable Residence was excited.
Li Banfeng had obtained the genuine articles.
He put on Gloves and returned to the inn.
Feng Chongli and Feng Xincheng were waiting in the room. Seeing that Li Banfeng didn’t bring back the Iron Rulers, Feng Chongli was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Boss Li, our deal isn’t done yet."
Li Banfeng said, "The deal is already done. I’ve verified the items as genuine, and you’ve counted the money, not a cent short. Money and goods are settled, so we will take our leave now."
Before Li Banfeng could leave, Feng Chongli said, "Wait a moment. We still need to make a Contract Book for the transaction of money and goods, stating that I have no further connection with this pair of Iron Rulers. Should they be lost or damaged in the future, it has nothing to do with me."
"Good!" Li Banfeng agreed. "800,000 Ocean Dollars, paid in cash, which you counted in person. From now on, whether the amount is more or less, it has nothing to do with me."
Feng Chongli nodded, "For this transaction, Feng Xincheng will be the witness. No matter what happens in the future, neither of us can harm the life of the witness!"
Li Banfeng wrote down the Contract Book, the three men pressed their fingerprints, and the deal was concluded.
Li Banfeng couldn’t stay a moment longer and immediately took Shopkeeper Feng, bought a ticket for the night train, and returned to Medicine King Valley.
Feng Chongli took out a money bag from his bosom, grabbed the Ocean Dollars, and started putting them into the bag.
How many Ocean Dollars can a money bag hold?
There were hundreds of thousands of Ocean Dollars here, plus a large box of gold.
All these things, Feng Chongli’s money bag could indeed fit them all.
