Chapter 15: The Asking Price
Looking at the grandfather who was regretful and disgusted, Yang Xu felt speechless.
Lao Tzu is just a little tired, and he has temporarily lost interest in falling in love, how can he be understood by your old man as the good of Longyang and the habit of breaking sleeves?
In the future, if you meet a woman who sees the right eye and does not have too high requirements for material things, Lao Tzu still has to marry.
"Talking about love, I will talk about it in the future, I really can't be interested at the moment...... Walked away......"
Yang Xu was worried that his grandfather would say that he would marry his granddaughter to him, and then he would definitely refuse, and everyone would be embarrassed at that time, so he waved his hand at him and fled the scene as if flying.
"This kid, go fast...... Hongyu's girl is virtuous and virtuous, IKEA and IKEA, isn't she good? ”
Seeing Yang Xu walking away like a beast avoiding a flood, Grandpa Tai twisted his beard and muttered to himself.

"Don't miss it...... This comb is not expensive, it is a good treasure to buy......"
"This boxwood comb can dispel wind and dampness, clear away heat and detoxify, improve sleep, and prolong life......"
"All the little things here, each for a tael of silver! For a tael of silver, you can't buy a house on land, but you can buy comfort and health......"
"You look in your eyes and count in your heart, a tael of silver is really worth it......"
"Take a look, take a look, there is no such shop after this village......"
"Shoot when you should, opportunities don't come every day......"
"Produced by Yangjiazhai, it must be a high-quality ......"
In the afternoon, the sun was warm, and on a street corner somewhere in Jinyang City, several men from Yangjiazhai lined up in a row, tearing out their voices and shouting hard.
On the ground in front of them, dozens of wooden or bamboo daily necessities and handicrafts are laid out, especially some hand-carved small objects, which are strange and exaggerated, and the elves are cute, which attracts the attention of some people.
"Dazhi, do you think it works for us to shout like this? Will anyone come and buy it? These wood and bamboos are things that no one wants in our Yangjiazhai......"
Yang Fugui shouted for a while, and when he saw that no one was coming, he couldn't help scratching his head and asked Yang Dazhi beside him in a low voice.
Since Yang Dazhi was cured of his mother's illness by Yang Xu, he respected Yang Xu like a god, and said: "Mr. Yang said that it works, then it will work!" ”
Yang Xing, who was on the side, carefully observed the passers-by, and saw that some of them stopped to watch, as if they were intent on moving, and felt that there was a door, so he shouted in a low voice: "All cheer up and continue to shout according to Mr. Yang's instructions." Mr. Yang said that if we can sell these things, we will cut some meat and buy some wine back for everyone to taste! ”
Several men from Yangjiazhai didn't know how many days they hadn't tasted wine and meat, and when they heard Yang Xing's words, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help licking their lips.
A moment later, a father and son passers-by passed by, all dressed in brocade clothes, apparently from a wealthy family.
The little boy was originally sitting on his father's shoulder and looking around, but when he saw the small objects placed here, he immediately slipped off his father, ran to the front, pointed to a wood-carved tiger, turned his head and said to his father who came with him: "Daddy, I want that little tiger!" ”
"How do you sell this?"
The little boy's father stepped forward, squatted down and picked up the wood carving Xiaohu and looked at it, his eyes flashed a different color, as if he was quite curious about this delicate and lovely carved object.
He is a businessman, he has traveled from south to north, and has seen all kinds of tiger-shaped wood carvings, but he has never seen such a small and delicate and cute shape as in front of him, no wonder his own boy liked it at first sight.
"This member is invited. Our tiger carving is made of boxwood...... Boxwood has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and relieving itching, invigorating blood and qi, driving away demons and evil spirits, and children often play with it, which has many benefits......"
Yang Xing was not in a hurry to make a bid, and first boasted about the benefits of this boxwood tiger carving.
This is what Yang Xu specially explained before leaving, asking him to exaggerate the efficacy and benefits of a thing as much as possible before selling it, and then increase the price, so that the probability of selling it and selling it at a good price may increase by a few points.
According to what Yang Xu said, he can ask for a price on his side, and the buyer can repay the money on the spot, and finally both parties can make a deal at a suitable price, and they are all happy.
The little boy's father, as a businessman, of course would not be easily fooled by Yang Xing's words, but boxwood can drive away demons and ward off evil spirits, Zhao Guomin has a legend, and some rich and noble people really believe in this, so he has raised the reserve price of this boxwood carved tiger carving by a few points in his heart.
"Alright, alright...... You and I are both in business, so you don't need to talk about it, just say the real price! If it's appropriate, I'll take it! ”
The little boy's father waved his hand impatiently to stop Yang Xing from continuing.
"Boxwood is not easy to obtain, and it takes a lot of energy and time to carve and polish it smoothly...... You are a real person outside the watchman, we lost money, and we sold it to you for five taels of silver......"
When Yang Xing said these words, his eyes looked at the ground, and he had no confidence in his heart.
If he was a buyer, and the other party dared to ask for such a price, he had to spit out the other party's face, and then added: "A small thing carved from broken wood, dare to ask for five taels of silver?" Crazy about money? ”
"What? Five taels of silver? Why don't you grab it? Don't buy it...... Didn't buy ......"
Sure enough, when the little boy's father heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he shouted dissatisfiedly, pulling his son to make a gesture and leaving.
But the little boy quit, broke away from his father's hand, lay down on the ground and began to splash and roll, crying "wow".
The little boy's father didn't really want to leave, he just wanted to lower the price, and when he saw that his son didn't cooperate with him, his face couldn't help but be a little ugly.
But he had a middle-aged child, and he spoiled this son abnormally, so he had to coax a few words in a low voice when he saw this, and then said to Yang Xing with a gloomy face: "Five taels is too expensive, I'll give you one or two at most!" ”
When Yang Xing heard this, his heart suddenly burst into joy, and he admired Yang Xu more and more.
Yang Dazhi on the side was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the things that Mr. Yang made in his spare time were really bought, and he was also given a price of one or two silver.
A small thing is a tael of silver, this is the bottom line set by Mr. Yang for them, and at this moment, looking at the buyer's appearance, it seems that the price can be talked up again?
Yang Fugui was even more happy that his mouth almost reached the root of his ears, but fortunately he turned his head in time and was not seen by others.
"Outside the watchman, you sincerely want to buy, then take a step back, you give four taels ......"
Yang Xing finally suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pretended to have a painful look on his face.
The little boy's father snorted: "One or two or five dollars, no more!" ”
Yang Xing sighed: "Three or two...... No matter how little, it really can't be! ”
After some bargaining, the boxwood tiger carving was finally sold for two taels of silver.
Watching the little boy take the boxwood tiger carving and leave happily with his father, Yang Xing pinched the broken silver in his hand, and couldn't believe that it was true.
Yang Fugui looked at the broken silver in Yang Xing's hand, a pair of bull's eyes widened, and when he saw the father and son walking away, he finally couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and look up to the sky and laugh.
His laughter was like thunder, if Yang Xing hadn't stopped drinking it in time, I don't know how many people would have attracted attention.
"A small tiger carving sold for two taels of silver...... There are more than 20 of them......"
Yang Dazhi looked at the small objects placed in front of him, as if they had turned into pieces of silver.
