Chapter 61: Bargaining
"Eh, Village Chief Yan, long time no see", Cheng Yangyang first put on her attitude, she kept reminding herself in her heart, don't make trouble!
"Little girl, I haven't even gone to settle accounts with you, but you came first", Village Chief Yan had an expression that was ready to beat her at any time, "What are you doing here!"
"Village Chief Yan, don't be so angry, we came to you today to have something good to tell you."
"Good thing?" The people of Yanjia Village looked defensive and unbelieving, everyone looked at each other, no one knew whether what she said was true or not, "What good things do you have, let's hear it!"
Village Chief Yan sat on the stone at the entrance of the village, holding a flat pestle on the ground in one hand, and standing behind him were the people of the village, looking like the king of the mountain.
Since she was going to start talking about things, Cheng Yangyang also wanted to find a stone to sit down, but she looked around and didn't see a suitable place, and the people in Yanjia Village didn't plan to prepare a stool or anything for her, so she had to stand and talk.
"Village Chief Yan, I heard from the flower matchmaker that there are a few children in Yanjia Village who want to sell, no, I am short of manpower over there, and I want to buy someone from you, I don't know how Village Chief Yan sells it?"
When she came, she discussed with Wang Dafei and them, if she directly said that she couldn't bear to see Liu Dong and them being bullied, or that the little girl was her sister, according to the previous conflict between the two villages, the people of Yanjia Village might open their mouths or find ways to embarrass her.
That's why she borrowed the name of the flower matchmaker to make them mistakenly think that the news was told to her by the flower matchmaker, and let them let down their guard.
"You want to buy someone?" Village Chief Yan heard that someone in the village had bought the three oil bottles, and he was excited for a moment, but after thinking about it, can the poor ghosts in Wangjia Village afford to buy them?
"What are you kidding, can you afford it?" Although Village Chief Yan didn't believe them very much, he still had to make it clear, "Besides, we don't sell the female babies just by selling them, if you want to buy them, you have to buy the two male babies too!"
It's not about buying one get two free, it's about buying one bundle of two, and those two have to be paid for!
Because of this condition, the matchmakers in these ten miles and eight villages have gone around Yanjia Village, the female baby they want, what is the male baby going to do, who wants a male baby to go home and raise it for nothing, and the child born is not a grandson.
"This ......," Cheng Yangyang pretended to be embarrassed, "but the flower matchmaker said that they usually buy girls, what can boys do when they buy back?"
"Then I don't care, if you don't buy the other two, we won't sell them!"
"That's it, there's nothing to say!" The woman next to Village Chief Yan accosted, she was slapped by Cheng Yangyang last time, and it still hurts to think about it now, so they can't be so cheap for her.
"Cheng girl, what should I do?" Wang Dafei began to cooperate with Cheng Yangyang to act, and he also looked embarrassed.
"Yes, there is not much work in the village, and if you buy a boy and go back, you have to raise it for nothing, isn't it a waste of silver", Wang Daqing and others joined in the persuasion, saying that the matter of buying people is very lossy, and buying it is equivalent to losing money.
"Cheng girl, why don't we buy it, or let's go to other villages to see if there are any for sale."
Cheng Yangyang did not shy away from the people of Yanjia Village when they discussed, and the people of Yanjia Village could hear their words clearly, and when they heard that they didn't want to buy it, the people of Yanjia Village were a little anxious.
"Don't go, let's discuss something," said a villager who had been looking forward to selling the three oil bottles.
"How can we discuss?" Cheng Yangyang looked at the man.
"This ......" The man looked like he couldn't be the master, and looked at Village Chief Yan hesitantly.
Village Chief Yan also seemed to want to discuss, but he just couldn't swallow the breath he had been beaten last time, "There's nothing to discuss, don't buy it if you don't have money!"
His angry words made the people in his village unwilling, and everyone persuaded one after another: "Village chief, we can't keep those three oil bottles anymore."
"Yes, this yamen is distributing porridge outside the city, we are having a hard time this year, and no one has anything extra to give those three oil bottles."
"Village chief, let's sell it if we can now, don't let those three people die in the village, it will be a big loss!"
"Yes, yes......"
Village Chief Yan was annoyed by the persuasion of the people behind him, and he turned around impatiently and scolded, "Shut up Lao Tzu!"
The crowd fell silent.
"Say, what do you want to do!" Village Chief Yan looked at Cheng Yangyang and had to swallow that breath.
"I just want that girl", Cheng Yangyang said.
It is impossible for this Yanjia Village to agree, they wanted to open their mouths to refuse, but Cheng Yangyang took the lead, "But if you don't just sell, then you have to be cheaper."
Without bargaining, this scene can't be realistic.
"You still want to bargain!" Village Chief Yan was very unhappy, but there were villagers behind him who kept persuading him not to be angry, "Then you say, how much cheaper do you want!"
Well, it's up to her to take the initiative.
"Brother Da Fei, you sold me to the flower matchmaker half a year ago, what conditions did the flower matchmaker give?" Cheng Yangyang asked deliberately.
"Half a bag of rough noodles!"
"Village Chief Yan, you see, the price given by the flower matchmaker, those three people are ......"
"No!" Of course, Yanjia Village didn't do it, like the people in Wangjia Village before, "Half a bag of us don't sell!"
"Little girl, don't think we don't know, last time we went to your Wangjia Village, there was a lot of grain piled up at the entrance of your village, and we won't sell it if you don't give five bags!"
"That is, we don't want rough noodles, we just want food!" said the people of Yanjia Village.
"Don't go too far!" Wang Dafei couldn't stand it, pointed at them and scolded, "This condition is that the flower matchmaker can't give it to you!"
"Then we don't care, if you want to buy people, just this condition!" the people of Yanjia Village refused to give in.
Five bags of grain are nothing to Cheng Yangyang, but she just can't easily agree, "That's it, five bags are fine, but they can't be five bags of grain."
Cheng Yangyang lowered his head and pretended to think, "Little girl, you sell grain, and those two boys sell rough noodles."
"This ......" How difficult it is for three people to sell five bags of grain, the people of Yanjia Village don't know that no one can afford this price, it's just grain and rough noodles, and fools want food.
"Then four bags of grain, one bag of rough noodles!" Village Chief Yan frowned, as if he had made a big concession.
"A little girl under the age of ten wants four bags of food, why don't you grab it!"
Several people in Wangjia Village were so excited that they wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Cheng Yangyang, "Village Chief Yan, the girl who can let Yanjia Village sell four bags of grain must be raising it well, I want to see that girl first."
"If that girl is really good, then four bags of grain, I will never bargain!"
Hearing her words, it was the turn of the people in Yanjia Village to be embarrassed, they all knew that the little girl was thrown into the water by Yan Dazhuang and them this morning to play, and she was still unconscious, where did the person come from to let her see.
