Chapter Twenty-Four: Teachable

In order to make Xiaohuzi have a longer memory, Ling'er struck while the iron was hot, took out five cents and handed it to him: "Go, buy me the hairpin with the hairpin tail carved fan!" ”

Xiaohuzi was stunned for a moment, looked around the stall, looked at the five cents in his hand, and said with a sad face: "Ling'er, my mother asked about the hairpin last time, people said that the hairpin style is good and the workmanship is good, and there are many people who buy it, at least twenty wen, you only give me five wen, people... People are definitely not happy! ”

"If you don't try, how do you know if people aren't happy? A real businessman never has a business that he doesn't do, and the aunt at the mouth of this head rope town also said that it is ten pennies, and I don't buy it for the same penny? Go go now, I'm... I'll wait for you at the restaurant next to it, and I'll come to me when I've bought it! ”

Ling'er turned around to leave, and Xiaohuzi was anxious: "Hey, Ling'er, you give ...... more"

Ling'er turned around: "Little Huzi, remember, I only need the hairpin tail carved fan, I don't want anything else, don't come to me if you can't buy it, don't want the things you put here for me, so it's decided!" ”

Ling'er ran away happily, Xiaohu Zileng looked at Wuwen Qian in a daze, and after a while, he looked back at Ling'er's direction, and then gritted his teeth and walked to the small stall like a strong man going to death. Ling'er, who was sitting in the restaurant, was happy in his heart, as long as he could buy the hairpin this time, things would be much easier in the future!

Ling'er asked for a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns, and while eating, she paid attention to the movement of Xiaohuzi, and saw that the hawker's attitude towards Xiaohuzi changed little by little, from the previous enthusiasm to the impatience in the back, and finally even simply ignored Xiaohuzi, Xiaohuzi stood there with a red face, it was really pitiful!

Ling'er was not in a hurry, she ate slowly and watched, so after a quarter of an hour, she stood up when she was full, paid for the meal, bought two hot big steamed buns in her arms, and lightly touched the stall near the stall to hide and watch.

Time passed little by little, and it was already lunchtime, and everyone was going back to eat, and people were in a hurry, and few people went to the stalls. The vendor also began to pack up his things, and when he looked up and saw that Xiaohuzi was still there, he shook his head helplessly and said:

"I said, little brother, you and I have consumed it, haven't you? I told you a long time ago, the price of my hairpin is more than five yuan, let you add two yuan but you don't have it, let you change the general you don't do it, you won't want me to lose money and send you, right? ”

Xiaohuzi blushed and stammered for a long time: "I... I only have five texts! ”

"Then you can go home and ask your mother if you want to come back next time, I've always been here anyway! All right? Little brother, I'm going to close the stall and go home, come back next time! ”

Xiaohuzi still didn't leave, he followed the hawker wherever he went, and the hawker turned around twice and had to stop: "Oh, little brother, little ancestor, I begged you, okay?" Don't follow me, let my wife see it, and think that I picked up a son somewhere, and I have to beat me up! ”

Xiaohuzi stretched out his fist and spread out his palm, revealing the five pennies, and said mechanically with a red face: "I want a hairpin!" ”

The hawker softened in frustration: "Little brother, if I don't sell your hairpin today, are you going to follow me home?" ”

Xiaohuzi didn't answer, just looked at him so fixedly, the two looked at each other for a long time, and the hawker finally relented and surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll sell you, sell you!" Come on, give me the money, and I'll give you the hairpin! ”

The peddler muttered while holding the hairpin: "Alas, your little brother is really stubborn, I have been setting up a stall for so many years, and I have never seen you like this, fortunately, if I always meet you like this, my whole family will have to drink the wind!" Come, the hairpin is for you, put it away! ”

Xiaohuzi looked at the hairpin in his hand in surprise, as if he didn't believe that he had really bought it. Seeing that he was still not leaving, the peddler deliberately joked: "What's the matter, little brother, don't you want it anymore?" Don't want to pay me back! ”

"No, no, I want, I want!" Xiaohuzi hurriedly put the hairpin in his arms, ran a few steps, and turned back to bow deeply to the vendor: "Thank you, uncle, I wish my uncle's business is getting better and better!" ”

The peddler was happy, and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you for your good words, come back next time!" Oh, and I'll come back next time with enough money! ”

Xiaohuzi nodded again and again, and happily ran to the small restaurant on the side, Ling'er hurriedly caught up: "Xiaohuzi, hey, Xiaohuzi, this way!" ”

Xiaohuzi turned around and saw Ling'er, ran over excitedly, took out the hairpin, and danced with his hands and said: "Ling'er, look at you, I bought it, I really bought it!" ”

Ling'er nodded approvingly: "Well, I see, Brother Xiaohu is awesome!" Come, this steamed bun rewards you! ”

Ling'er stuffed the two warm steamed buns to him, took out the hairpin and rubbed it to check, it is indeed good, the price is fair if it is sold for ten yuan, and it is really difficult for him to let Xiaohuzi take five yuan to buy it, but this kind of exercise is necessary, and it will definitely have a far-reaching impact on his future behavior.

The two walked slowly along the street, and Xiaohuzi said while nibbling on steamed buns: "Ling'er, don't let me go shopping in the future, okay?" That uncle is angry! ”

Ling'er smiled and said: "Little Huzi, it is natural to bargain when you buy things, you can give as much as people want, and if you bargain desperately when you sell things, others will treat you as wronged, and it is not fair to you!" Don't worry, I'll give you enough money to buy it in the future, but you'll also have to learn to talk to people and bargain, you know? ”

"Oh!" Xiaohuzi muttered a little reluctantly, but Ling'er smiled and didn't care.

Later, Ling'er didn't embarrass him anymore, every time before buying something, he estimated the reserve price and told him, let him inquire about the price and then help negotiate the price, and in the end it was almost finalized, which made the little tiger who had just been frustrated more and more confident, and finally he also drove to help negotiate.

After a circle, Ling'er asked Xiaohuzi to use the more than 60 yuan allocated to him to buy gifts for his father, his mother, his brother, his sister-in-law, and even her grandparents, and he also used 50 yuan to buy a small hoe plus a woodcutter and a kitchen knife.

Then they went to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, there are a total of three pharmacy stores in the town, the price in each pharmacy is fixed, not negotiable at all, according to the prescription to catch 20 Wen is cheap, the most expensive is 30 Wen, you tell him a few more words, people are impatient: "Hey, do you catch it or not, don't catch it and leave, don't affect our business!" ”

If it weren't for her father, Ling'er really wanted to quarrel with him, so the two had no choice but to go to the pharmacy in Twenty Wen to grab the medicine, but she only needed two pieces, and she had her own ideas for the rest.

The two of them packed their things and hurriedly ran out of the town, and the stalls at the entrance of the town had already been collected, but fortunately, Xu Banxian was still there. Ling'er went straight over and whispered to the old man: "Xu Banxian, help me catch the side medicine according to this prescription, if my father eats it, I will come to you in the future, and help you publicize it well, how about it?" ”
