Ma Lu then double-checked the purchase price with Lao Hei.
In the end, the purchase price was set at 75 Star Currency per thousand pounds for 3-star ingredients, 200 Star Currency for 4-star, and 525 Star Currency for 5-star.
Additionally, for every thousand pounds of 3-star ingredients made into salted meat, Lao Hei would pay an extra 125 Star Currency, an extra 180 for 4-star, and 290 for 5-star.
As for ham, due to the longer production time and more complex techniques, the selling price is also higher, earning an additional 80 Star Currency per thousand pounds compared to salted meat.
Ma Lu calculated that, by primarily selling ham, he could reach a selling price of 280 Star Currency per thousand pounds for 3-star ingredients, 460 for 4-star, and 895 for 5-star.
