Chapter 782: Bartering

Bing'er and Xue'er released carrier pigeons and contacted the other two groups of companions, converged in one place, and arrived at Yuxi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoFortunately, there is no very cold winter in Yunnan, there are more people, and there are more people who work, so under the command of the Ami sisters, we cut down the dragon bamboo and the bamboo, and built a few bamboo buildings near Ami's house to live. Bamboo is the most indispensable thing in Yunnan. The giant dragon bamboo is the largest bamboo in the world, it can reach 30 to 40 centimeters in diameter, and is an excellent material for construction. There is also a type of bamboo called moso bamboo, which is a good material for building a house. Bamboo grows very fast, and the sound of knotting can be heard in the process of growing in new bamboo.

The members of the performance team, accompanied by Ami and other local girls, visited a small set. I found that there are not many people here who buy things directly with money, and they are all bartering, that is, exchanging things for what they need. Moreover, there are many stalls selling handicrafts, cloth, mountain goods and agricultural products. There are also gold and silver jewelry and precious stones, jadeite, agate and spices, medicinal herbs, furs and other items that sell relatively high prices. Although Xue'er didn't know the price of these things here, she knew that they were very expensive in the capital.

It's strange that there are a lot of foreigners here who come to set up stalls and sell things, Asians and Westerners, who also trade their goods for goods here. Xue'er immediately came up with the idea of having a stall herself, which was to rent a shop facing the street - a bamboo building. It's okay if you can't perform and do some business now, right? First of all, the ready-made things such as glassware and resin ornaments that are afraid of touching and falling were sold, and then the remaining semi-finished products were processed by the girls in the team, and the six little sisters such as Ami could also learn to participate. Then you can also buy things that are more profitable in the Qing Dynasty here, such as candied fruits, honey, etc., because there are flowers here in all seasons, and bees can collect pollen to produce honey in all seasons. And with proper storage, honey can be stored for a long time. Anyway, Amma already has quite a few shops, exchanging exotic goods for goods here. I discussed with the six Yunnan sisters such as Ami and the sisters in the team to process handicrafts such as sachets, and of course everyone was very happy. Isn't the show also about making money to support the family? How good it is to make sachets at home, how good it is that the wind can't blow and the rain can't get wet, and the performance is not only camping in the open air, but also smashing the field and hooligans bullying actresses. When everyone goes to sell things, Qing'er is a bodyguard, and Qing'er will no longer change back to the appearance of Xiaolong.

There is a bandit den called "Rainforest Cottage", and the bandits often appear in the market disguised as local civilians to loot money, but it is better to have a strong person to protect them. People can't be hurt, and things can't be robbed, these things are brought by Master Ganlin, and they are very precious, so Qing'er is very happy to serve as a bodyguard.

Those who came forward to set up stalls included Bing'er, Ming Ming, eunuch Xiao Linzi, Xiao Liuzi and Qing'er. A few of them first tried to sell some ready-made goods, and Xue'er was responsible for teaching the actresses and Ami and others in the team to make handicrafts, such as making purses, sachets, handbags, as well as string bracelets, necklaces and so on. It took six or seven years from the palace to the palace and before she was kidnapped, and Xue'er and Xiaoeniang and Rui'er learned a lot of cloth art, weaving, and bead strings. The little sisters such as Kumei, Shi Dan and Ami were stunned, Xue'er is not only beautiful, virtuous and capable, but also has such clever hands! When she put the sachets, purses, handbags she had learned, necklace bracelets she worn, ruyi knot bracelets, swans, prawns, corn, pineapples and other small knotted rope handicrafts in front of everyone, it caused a scream of surprise. Where have they seen colorful beads, brilliant crystal glass and crystal clear glass beads, glittering little embellishments? Seeing that there are still a lot of materials, Cher decided to give each little sister a pair of crystal glass bracelets and a pair of sachets. These things immediately became the treasures of the girls' dowry.

There are endless natural materials that can be used as raw materials for Cher to weave handicrafts. For example, bamboo, all kinds of vines, corn husks, flowers, there are so many more! Yunnan itself is a treasure trove of nature.

When the corn husk stall appeared in front of everyone, Bing'er and Xue'er were carried up by their partners. Corn skin straw shoes are Bing'er's specialty, which he went to school in Xue'er Mansion during the period before he returned home from the palace and went to Heilongjiang. There are a lot of ordinary people in Yunnan who wear straw sandals, but their straw sandals are made of straw, which is neither beautiful nor strong. In contrast, Bing'er straw sandals are beautiful and durable.

After a few days of preparation, the members of the Renyi class, who were from actors to vendors, went into battle accompanied by girls such as Ami, a local native.

The people carrying the tables and carrying the bags were all ready, and they used their own vehicles to send them to the market, and there were small stalls that had been occupied in advance, setting up stalls and selling goods! As soon as the things were put out, they were surrounded, and Qing'er had a good attitude, and opened the distance between these people and the stalls a little, otherwise it was very likely to be robbed.

Very few of the people who came to buy things gave cash, and they all exchanged them for the things they brought. Of course, if people don't want to change it, forget it, and if you don't have to change it, you have to change it. The things that Xue'er sells are also at the price of the capital, and Ami tells Xue'er that the things are sold too cheaply. There are a lot of foreigners here, very rich, it doesn't matter if you want a little more, they don't have it in their country. If they bring it back, they will make money several times, more than ten times, or even dozens of times. With Ami, a native, in his hands, he sold a little more.

Suddenly, a tall Westerner came, very domineering with his arms outstretched, pointing at Xue'er in very broken Chinese and shouting: "I want all the goods of this beautiful lady!" Rest of the way! ”

"Hey, bullying, did we say we were going to sell you something?" Qing'er crossed her waist and said.

"Hey! Who are you? I don't care about you! I'm going to buy your gems! ”

Xue'er hurriedly said: "This gentleman, there are no gemstone products in the things we put out here, this is a crystal glass ......"

"Whatever it is, I want it! You say the price is! Go! Get out of here! "A passer-by was punched by this guy at a glance, and his eyes were dark at that time. Qing'er, who is that? Being beaten is a person who is not a woman but a person of the Qing Dynasty, you are a foreigner, a person who beat the Qing Dynasty in the land of the Qing Dynasty, I'm sorry, teach you a lesson.

This foreigner was very sturdy, tall, and had to have at least one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds, and people didn't see how Qing'er grabbed him, but they saw that Qing'er was lifted up, and he spun and rotated like Wu Shicong, and then he was thrown far away. I didn't get up for a long time. Thanks to being thrown on the grass, if it were a stone, it would have been easy to never get up with that weight.

But it frightened Bing'er, just a few slaps from a little bit, if someone died, it was a diplomatic incident, he was busy drinking Qing'er, and he went to pull the man up, the man was already red-eyed, and he was about to hit Bing'er as soon as he grabbed it, and was kicked in the stomach by Qing'er who came up, and the man put down Bing'er, covered his stomach and howled.

Bing'er got angry and scolded Qing'er in a low voice: "You have made an old mistake again, haven't you?" We are people in Buddhism, we can't fight with him, your responsibility is to protect a few of us people and things, you know? ”

"Yes, Qing'er remembered." Qing'er clenched her fists in a chic manner.

That one, who was really a little afraid of Qing'er, got up, bent over Qing'er, and slipped away.

Ami whispered: "I have seen this person, you must be careful, he has dealings with the people of the rainforest cottage, oh, the rainforest cottage is a den of bandits." ”

Qing'er said: "Even if he has a relationship with the king of Hades, I am not afraid of him." ”

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Run, the king of the mountain is here!" ”

Sure enough, the guy went to move the rescuers. He didn't run to the rainforest cottage to move, but there were many bandits from the rainforest cottage in the market, and it was difficult to distinguish whether they were ordinary mountain people or bandits.

Xue'er whispered to Bing'er, "There are several people who come with poisonous snakes in their arms. ”

"I know, I'll start preparing right away."

"Aha! We didn't come in vain today, there are several little beauties here ready for us. This one is a little darker and beautiful, it's not from Africa, is it? ”

Where did Qing'er know about Africa and Asia, and when she saw him with a rogue look, she began to prepare to beat him. It's a bit taboo to fight foreigners, but I'm afraid it's okay to fight bandits, right?

Bing'er instructed her: "Just teach a lesson, you have too much strength, it's a trouble to kill people, and besides, it's taboo to kill people in Buddhism, do you know?" ”

"Qing'er understands."

"Hey, do you guys do business? Mr. Tom doesn't take your things for nothing, so why don't you sell them to others? ”

"Who are you? We decide whether we sell it or not, what kind of lever do you insert? ”

"Yo Yo Yo, little beauty, so likeable, can you go back to the village with Grandpa to enjoy happiness? Oops my front teeth! "I'm really looking for teeth all over the ground, but can I still put them on when I find them?

Bing'er has already recited the trick of taming beasts. The poisonous snake hidden in the arms of the bandits kept writhing, but it frightened several bandits, and it would not be fun if they were bitten by it. Although it is trained, it is a brute after all. Frightened, he screamed, untied his belt, and the snake fell on the grass and twisted, and the five snakes twisted together, and the movements were very neat and uniform. The owner of the snake was strange that he had never seen a snake dance, and he had a tendency to twist more and more.

Xue'er still remembered that Qing'er was bitten by a poisonous snake, and quickly pulled Qing'er to her side and whispered: "Bing'er can subdue them, don't forget about being bitten by a snake." ”

Qing'er, who appears in the form of a human, is really a little afraid of poisonous snakes. Now Bing'er doesn't need to whistle to train animals, just use her mind.

Now the crowd surrounded the three inner and outer three floors, to see the excitement, obviously shouted loudly: "Folks, hurry up, there are poisonous snakes here!" ”

The crowd dispersed in fright, and Bing'er directed the poisonous snakes to move in the direction of the mountains and forests.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Grab it!" As he spoke, a young bandit came up, grabbed a handful of crystal glass bracelets on the table, turned around and ran. Qing'er grabbed his wrist and squeezed it hard, and the man howled like a pig. The bracelet fell to the ground, and it is estimated that this person's wrist is also useless.

This will be kung fu, Xue'er and a few little sisters hurriedly put away the goods on the table, put them in their pockets, Bing'er said: "Qing'er and I stay here, and the others hurry home!" ”

Everyone knew Bing'er and Qing'er's skills, and they went back with their things with confidence.

Under the command of Bing'er, the poisonous snakes of the bandits twisted towards the woods in front of them, and the snakes were called "flying on the grass", that is, they crawled as fast as they could in the grass. Which woods have no grass in them? So it's going into the woods, and it's going to run away, and that's a matter of seconds.

"Come back! Come back! Twist what? Come back, my snake......" The bandits stamped and shouted.

As soon as the snakes reached the edge of the woods, they "swished" and disappeared! Bing'er is looking for this effect. Originally, it could be sold for a few bucks on the set, but it was mixed up by bandits. Fortunately, that Tom didn't dare to mess with Bing'er and the gang again. Although he didn't know that Bing'er caused the snake to dance, the dark-skinned girl really scared him. How can a girl be so strong? I can't get up if I fall to the ground.

Accepting the lesson of setting up a stall for the first time, Bing'er and Xue'er were going to go to the market first to see how people sold goods, so they went to the next episode with Mingming, Shi Qing, Shi Dan, Ami and others.

Anyone who has been to Yunnan knows the "Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan": eggs are sold on grass strings; Baba cakes are called bait; three mosquitoes stir-fry; The stone grows beyond the clouds; Take off the straw hat as a pot lid; Wear clothes in all seasons; There are many old ladies who are experts in farming; Bamboo tubes can be used to make hookahs; Pocket ponies are capable; Grasshoppers can be used as an accompaniment to alcohol; Good melons and vegetables are produced in all seasons; Good cigarettes are smoked but not sold; Thatch sells well at home and abroad; The old lady climbs the mountain faster than the monkey; Doll out of the man belt; Crossing the bridge rice noodles is loved by everyone; Flowers bloom in all seasons; The cave can compete with Wonderland.

The so-called "Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan" describes some unique and even strange phenomena or lifestyles produced by Yunnan's unique geographical location, folk customs, and folk customs. There are many versions, some of which have slowly disappeared, some of which are still preserved, and some of which are exaggerated.

Bing'er and the others didn't see the appetizers made by grasshoppers, but eggs, bait, cross-bridge rice noodles, flowers and vegetables from the four seasons were very common, and there was a "peanuts and broad beans sold in piles" in another version. They bought eggs, bait, piles of peanuts and broad beans. Vegetables and flowers were not bought, and Ami's family had already planted them.

Summing up the experience of selling goods at a stall for the first time, Bing'er decided that she should bring fewer things, only a few things, and she couldn't take care of them if she had more, and it was too special, so it was best to sell them in the store. So, Bing'er and Ming Ming were responsible for finding a store for rent. However, the goods in the shop are more high-end than those in the stalls, and the prices are also higher. Ami also told Cher that there is no need to worry about the price, and that there are many rich buyers here. Many of them are not the people of the Qing Dynasty, and some are simply merchants who come to pick up cheap merchants. They buy it back at a low price, and then sell it after careful packaging, and that profit is much higher.

Ami's words gave Xue'er a great inspiration: these small commodities in her hands are all from foreign lands, and they are beautiful commodities that the high-level social leaders of the Qing Dynasty have never seen, and they must not be sold low. It can also be packaged in a higher grade, so that the price can be doubled. Bing'er and Xue'er don't have too many worries about selling goods, because they don't know the cost of these goods at all.

So the staff of local girls such as Xue'er and Ami made packaging for handicrafts such as purses and bracelets. The goods are small and exquisite, and the packaging is also small and exquisite, such as a small box made of corn husk, and the wall of the box is dotted with a few small flowers embroidered with ribbons, which are immediately beautiful. After the test sale, some merchants suggested that they wanted a small box, and it had to have those beautiful flowers and sparkling gems.

Many people regard crystal glass as a gemstone, and Bing'er has specially explained this. However, the explanation was ineffective, and no one could listen to it. The main thing is the kind of light of crystal glass, which is the refracted light of the exotic.
