Chapter 306: "Eighteen Scholars"
……
Under the compliment of a group of village committee cadres, Yun Tao finally sent these village committee cadres back, if they asked him again, Yun Tao was afraid that he would go crazy.
Sending off the cadres of the village committee, Yuntao hurriedly ran to his room, so as not to be dragged by his parents to ask questions again, he really couldn't stand it.
At dawn the next day, after breakfast, Yuntao took Jing Ting to drive to the flower and bird market in the county seat.
Yangping County Flower and Bird Market, is the largest flower and bird market in the whole City, is invested and constructed by Mingguang Property Management Co., Ltd., is the largest, most well-known, the most complete variety of professional flower and bird market in Minzhou City, with a business area of about 10,000 square meters, settled in two or three hundred merchants.
It took me less than half an hour to drive to this flower and bird market.
Although it is still about eight o'clock in the morning, there are already a lot of people in the market, and now the weather is relatively hot, so people like to come to the flower and bird market early in the morning, and the merchants who do business also like to come to set up stalls in the morning, after all, the weather is too hot at noon, not to mention the flowers and trees, animals, that is, people themselves can not stay in the sun for a long time.
"Boss, do you have seeds to buy this lotus?"
Yun Tao asked the boss in front of a stall, the color of this lotus is purple, it is particularly beautiful, Yun Tao likes it very much, and wants to buy some to plant on his reservoir.
"This is a relatively rare lotus, not common in other places, I also got it through a special relationship, this lotus is called purple lotus, it is a new variety from abroad. I don't have many seeds here, and the price is relatively high. The stall owner said.
"How much does that cost?" Jing Ting asked, Jing Ting also liked this purple lotus flower very much.
"I only have fifty seeds here. If you all want it, I'll give you all five thousand pieces. The stall owner said.
"Boss, you're too expensive, and other lotus seeds are only a few dollars a piece, so you might as well ask for a hundred, and your heart is too much."
Yun Tao said that this stall owner really thinks that Yun Tao is a foreigner. I don't understand the market situation in this area of Minzhou, and I began to ask for prices.
In Minzhou City, as long as it is not in any specialty store. Especially in the stalls, the price is very chaotic, and the cost of a few dollars may only be a few dollars, what about these business people. dare to shout thousands of dollars.
What impressed Yuntao the most is. When I was in high school, I went to the market with my mother to buy myself clothes for the New Year, a dress with a price of more than 5,000 yuan, but my mother bargained for more than 300 yuan and bought it, which is more than ten times different.
So in those places in Minzhou that are not specialty stores, the owners will ask for the price, and if you don't pay back the money, you will lose a lot.
"I'm a precious and rare breed." The stall owner said.
"I also know it's a rare breed. It's because of the rarity that I'm worried about whether I can raise it if I buy it back. If I had a hundred seeds, I would have lost a lot if I didn't plant them. Yun Tao said.
"This must be easy to plant, don't you see that I am planting a live sample here?" The stall owner pointed to the blooming lotus flowers.
"You are a good seed, I may not be able to grow a living, you are cheaper, I want it, if it is so expensive, I will not want it." Yun Tao said.
"Boss, how much do you pay?"
The stall owner asked, these business people are very cunning and want you to bid yourself, because there are often some people who don't know how to do it, and they directly kill half of the price, thinking that they have earned it.
When the time comes, the stall owner will look heartbroken, sell things to you, and shout that he is losing money, but in fact, he is secretly happy in his heart, even if you kill half of the price, he will still earn to death.
"Two dollars a piece, in this way, whether you can feed or not, I want it all."
Yun Tao said, what is called sitting on the ground to repay the money, is to kill the price to the lowest, otherwise I don't know how to lose.
"Boss, the price you gave is too low, it's not as good as the price of a bottle of mineral water." The stall owner said.
"That's the price of ordinary lotus seeds." Yun Tao said.
"How can an ordinary lotus flower be compared to my rare lotus seed, this is good, eighty yuan a seed is good, this is my lowest price." The stall owner gritted his teeth and said.
"Five dollars a seed, that's the highest price I can give." Yun Tao said.
……
After some bargaining, the last seed was bought for twenty yuan, in fact, Yun Tao knew that the stall owner could also make half of the price at this price, but Yun Tao was not ready to bargain anymore, after all, after reaching this price, it would be very difficult to bargain again.
It's not easy for the boss to set up a stall here early in the morning, and Yuntao will accept it when he sees it, and he still has to buy a lot of things, but he can't spend too much time here.
After buying this lotus seed, Yun Tao continued to take Jing Ting around the market, although the main purpose today is to buy a dog to watch the house, but Yun Tao feels that this is not too anxious, it is rare to come to the flower and bird market, not to take a good look, long insight, it is really too much of a loss.
Yun Tao and Jing Ting held hands and didn't take a few steps. I saw a group of people gathered together, pointing to the circle and talking about it, Chinese people like to watch the excitement, Yuntao is no exception, and he also inherited the problem of Chinese people who love to join in the fun, and took Jing Ting to squeeze into the crowd to see what happened.
It turned out that someone was selling a pot of camellias, and it was a very precious variety, and it was "Eighteen Bachelors." This variety of camellia is very rare, a "Eighteen Bachelors" can be bought at a high price of hundreds of thousands, Yuntao did not expect that he would see it in this flower and bird market today, he is really lucky.
After staying in the crowd for a while, Yun Tao figured out what was going on.
It turns out that this is a sick "Eighteen Bachelors"!
The seller, an old man of about sixty years, who looked polite and learned, was now sitting at a table with this "Eighteen Bachelors" on it.
The seller looked at the onlookers next to him with a little impatience between his eyebrows, but no one stood up to ask the price, because this camellia is really not good, except for a few flowers, the leaves on the branches are almost gone, who else will have nothing to do and come forward to ask the price, this is estimated to be waiting for death to buy back.
When Yun Tao saw this, he had an idea in his mind! However, before Yuntao could act, someone walked in front of Yuntao, and someone stepped forward to ask for the price before Yuntao.
"Your camellia tree is obviously not lightly ill, I don't know how much you want it to cost?" A young middle-aged man stepped forward and asked. (To be continued......)
