Chapter 833: Battle of wits and courage
"Oaxaca is located in the south of Mexico, is one of the most indigenous states in Mexico, where there is a vibrant indigenous culture and a Spanish culture, it can be said that it is because of the strong national culture and artistic atmosphere of Oaxaca that many works with unique artistic styles have been born. ”
"The Oaxaca people's habits, festivals, handicrafts, cooking, clothing, etc., are very local, and the people there are deeply immersed in Indian and Spanish culture, love art and creativity, and have developed a unique artistic style, as if there is an endless source of inspiration, especially for the craftsmen and handicrafts. ”
"For example, these wood carvings are the masterpieces of some wood carving studios in Oaxaca, and those wood carving artists use their passion for art, sweat, and integrate the unique culture of Mexico into their own inspiration, forming these strange and expressive wood carvings. ”
"Hehe, these wood carvings on my stall are the ones I received from a famous woodcarving studio, and there is an interesting story in it, which is a woodcarving artist......"
The middle-aged stall owner slowly lowered his head and revealed a mysterious look, as if his wood carvings really had a magical origin, Jin Yang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, interrupting the boss's idea of bragging, "Boss, can you say something else?
"Ahh The middle-aged stall owner had a look of unhappiness for you, and pouted with some regret and continued, "In addition to wood carvings, uh, the most impressive thing about Oaxaca is probably the 'Corn Festival', Oaxaca is the birthplace of Mexican corn, every year in the last week of July (corn harvest), Oaxaca celebrates a grand corn festival, and grand carnivals are held all over the state, singing and dancing to celebrate the corn harvest. ”
"Ha, I go there almost every year in July, both to stock up and to participate in the Corn Festival. ”
"During the festival, corn food can be found everywhere, such as corn burritos, corn pies, fried corn dumplings, fried corn dumplings, corn dumplings, corn rice dumplings, corn ice cream, corn wine, etc.
Tsk, it makes people's mouths water just thinking about it!"
In the end, the boss couldn't help but show a greedy cat, and a trace of crystal liquid flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and the corners of Jin Yang's mouth twitched.
This boss is too talented, are you here to sell things, or are you here to talk to someone and let people listen to your story?
"Okay, boss, what you said is very good, Oaxaca is indeed a very interesting place, maybe I will also go there in July next year to see if the legendary corn festival is as interesting as you said, and those corn delicacies, I don't know if it is really that delicious......"
Jin Yang couldn't help but interrupt the other party's words, Oaxaca he might really go, but for now, let's get these wood carvings done first.
"Boss, the price of 1500 pesos is too expensive, even if these wood carvings do look beautiful and the carvings are very realistic, but they are really just some wood carvings, or very small wood carvings......
What Jin Yang said is very true, this is not the kind of environment where wood is seriously scarce in China, and a few pieces of wood can even buy tens of thousands of beads.
This is Mexico, although many areas are in the subtropics, even tropical desert climate, but there are also a considerable part of it is in the tropical rainforest area, all kinds of towering trees dare not say that they can be found everywhere, but it is not a strange resource.
It's just a few pieces of wood that are not very big, and even if they are artistically processed into beautiful and cute animals, their value is not much higher, because the value of their own materials is there, which is different from the jade carving where the raw materials themselves are valuable.
"150 pesos, 150 pesos at most, they are worth only this price in my opinion, and any higher I will have to give up, and I cannot afford to spend a fortune on a few small wooden carvings that can only be used as toys for children. Jin Yang said categorically, looking very serious, as if 1500 pesos was really a big number.
Behind him, Thomp's cheeks twitched, and he looked at what the boss said, 1,500 pesos is a lot of money for a rich man like you? Are you kidding? Anything you have on you is dozens of times more than 1,500 pesos.
However, the middle-aged stall owner does not know this, in his opinion, 1500 pesos is indeed a large number, just now he asked for 1500 pesos just because Jinyang looks like a Chinese, he wants to call a big price to try it, it is of course the best to be able to slaughter a sum, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work.
The sky-high price is asking for money to spend money!
Who made the Chinese now shop all over the world waving banknotes, looking like they want to buy the whole world? Who in the entire Taxco handicraft street does not know that the Chinese are the most generous?
Who doesn't know that the Chinese are the richest?
"1000 pesos, these woodcarvings are the work of a famous woodcarver, if it weren't for me having a little relationship with that woodcarver master......" Seeing that Jinyang was very resolute, for fear of scaring away the big customers who sent them to the door, the stall owner also took a step back, but still kept the price at 1000 pesos, tightly hugging the thigh of a woodcarver master who did not exist.
The middle-aged boss of Jinyang is very rich did expect it, and it was very accurate, but he also didn't expect it, that is, Jinyang is just generous to himself, and he is also very picky when it is time to pick the door.
The guy who ran ten miles to save a dollar for the bus, what do you think he can't do?
"200 pesos, boss, this is already the highest price I can offer, I think the entire Taxco handicraft street, willing to spend 200 pesos for a small wood carving, not yet?" Jin Yang looked like you had taken a big advantage with a calm face, but don't continue to gain an inch, 200 pesos will be accepted when you see it, otherwise I won't want it.
"Ha, although the words are so, but ......" The middle-aged stall owner still wanted to struggle for a while, wanting to slaughter a sum from the Chinese fat sheep in front of him, but before he could say half of the words, Jin Yang stood up and made a gesture to leave, and the middle-aged stall owner finally couldn't bear it, and shouted with a bitter face, "Okay, okay, it's 200 pesos, it's 200 pesos, oh my God, whoever tells me in the future Chinese I'll ......be in a hurry with whoever is the most generous."
"It's long overdue. Jin Yang showed a smile on his face, these wood carvings look beautiful and distinctive, he likes it very much, and the process of bargaining is very tense and exciting, it can be said that it is a battle of wits and courage, and he feels a sense of achievement.
In comparison, whether it is a few hundred or a few thousand pesos, it is nothing.
Middle-aged stall owner: "......"
If it's nothing, then why waste saliva and bargain with me? hypocrisy......
