Chapter 37 Bargaining
Since Xue Shen beat the tiger, it has been spread throughout the county in ten miles and eight townships, knowing that such a tiger hero came out of the mountain village, Zhang County's order is not hidden, and when others ask, they praise him vigorously, and by the way, he spread that Heyuan County is in good order before this.
That is, fortunately, there is no such thing as a whole portrait, otherwise every time you go on the street, you will have to be recognized, but it will be a headache.
But it's not good now, as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, but it's true.
Others don't talk about it, Li Sheng and Zhang Yang from the next village come over from time to time to follow Xue Shen up the mountain to learn martial arts, and they have come many times, and they are all familiar with Qin Zhi, and they gag all day long, but they are two heartless.
After crossing over like this, Qin Zhi, who came into contact with the Xue family and was a little skeptical about life, felt a little relieved.
Both of them are younger than Xue Shen, Li Sheng is only fifteen this year, younger than Qin Zhi, the two of them are so active, Qin Zhi doesn't feel annoying.
"Sister-in-law, there is a market in the county town today, and it is said that a lot of good things have come in from the south, do you and Brother Xue want to go and have a good time?"
Today, these two people have come, the two villages are not far apart, but it is convenient for them, Xue Shen handed them a little simple kung fu self-defense, he himself is from a wild road, and he remembers what to teach.
There is no charter, but it is extremely effective, and it can be quickly used in actual combat.
The person who spoke was Li Sheng, he was young, his physical strength was weaker, the sky was gradually getting warmer, and he was panting after standing under the sun all morning, with sweat dripping on his forehead, and ran to Qin Zhi's side with a hippie smile.
He still has this seriously ill mother at home, and the days are hard, Xue Shen takes him from time to time when he goes up the mountain, and every trip has some gains, enough for the family's food and clothing.
Qin Zhi hadn't seen such an energetic child for a long time, but he didn't hate it in his heart.
"What's there?" After listening to his words, she was a little thoughtful.
There was nothing missing at home, and it was the hottest time of the day, and if there was nothing of interest, she was too lazy to move.
"It's nothing special, but there are batches of silk fabrics and jewelry from the south, all of which are for your girls' families, and I don't know the rest." Li Sheng, this kid, is very honest and tells everything he knows.
Rouge gouache Qin Zhi is not used to use, it is some inferior aroma, it is better not to use it, it is very pungent.
At the beginning, when the situation at home was not so good, Xue Shen quietly bought a box and gave it to her, saying that it was convenient, but in fact, it turned red, and made Qin Zhi laugh for a long time.
But those are all ordinary goods in the county, a copper plate and a box, the color is heavy like a monkey's buttocks, and the smell is pungent, Qin Zhi opened it once and put it in the cabinet.
Remembering that this was the first thing that Xue Shen took the initiative to give her, Qin Zhi didn't throw it away, and it was still alive and well.
She didn't say whether she liked it or not, but she never used it, Xue Shen also figured out something, knowing that she didn't know this, and she never gave things secretly, most of them were the two of them on the street together, and Qin Zhi bought what he liked.
Speaking of which, the only official gift he gave and what suited his heart was the cloak he made himself.
Although the winter was over, Qin Zhi still cherished it very much, and carefully cleaned it up and put it in the cabinet.
It's this fabric...... After spring, it will soon be summer, and it will be cold quickly, and it will not be slow to heat up, but you can buy two sets of clothes for Xue Shen.
She boasted that her craftsmanship was not good, that is, she made something simple for Xiaobao intermittently, which has been accumulated, but she can also see the past, but it is better to try.
Qin Zhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately made up his mind.
She has always disliked owing people anything, and after receiving the cloak, she thought about what gift she should give back for a long time, but this time it was a score.
"It's fine." She nodded, a smile on her lips.
So just like that, Li Sheng and the two left, while Qin Zhi and Xue Shen went to the county seat.
It's really a lot more lively than usual, and some of the vendors are shouting, not like locals.
However, things are still ordinary, Qin Zhi is not very interested in those bell-ringing jewelry, in addition to the jade bracelet left by Granny Qin, there are only a few simple hairpins, all of which are carefully selected to fit the eye, and the others are too heavy, she feels that her hair hurts when she sees it.
"Don't have a favorite?" Seeing her frowning, Xue Shen couldn't help but speak.
He really doesn't know anything about this aspect, he only knows that Qin Zhi likes to be plain and simple, and the various kinds of jewelry in front of him are dazzling, or they are red and green, and the price is not expensive, they are all bargains, the workmanship is rough, and the plain makes people feel tacky.
"Well, let's go see the fabric?" Qin Zhi shook his head, he was not disappointed, and wanted to go to the other side to sell fabrics.
Xue Shen followed step by step.
Who knew that Qin Zhi suddenly stopped, and in front of him was a small stall, which was messy, with books and jewelry, rouge gouache, daggers and utensils.
"How do you sell this?" She was not interested in these natures, but she caught a glimpse of a jade crown.
In his previous life, Qin Zhi also had a little understanding of jewelry, especially jade.
The texture of this jade crown is not the best, but it is not bad in a small county town like them in the eighteenth line, there are no impurities at all, it looks crystal clear, and it is full of transparent cyan.
She picked it up and gestured twice, feeling that it was very commensurate with Xue Shen.
In the past, I heard people describe what ancient gentlemen were, and what words such as gentle jade were commonly used, but it was not appropriate for Xue Shen, in many cases, he was too cold, and he was born with a cold face, and rarely smiled.
The thin lips are pursed, that is, when they are with Qin Zhi, they will raise a good-looking arc from time to time, which makes people soften a lot, and at other times, how to say it, it feels a little less human.
But he is undoubtedly the most humane person, he does not hesitate to break off the relatives, he helps the people who should help him very easily, and he also rescues people when they are in distress.
Qin Zhi felt that such a person was a true gentleman.
"Madame has good eyesight, this is a good product from the south of the Yangtze River, you look at this jade, you touch the feel, it can be said that it is warm and moist in winter and cool in summer, suitable for both cold and summer......"
The vendor was a little drowsy, and finally saw someone, his expression immediately became vivid, and he told her with his eyebrows fluttering, from the origin to the production, it seems that he wants to say it all.
Xue Shen was speechless for a moment, but there was a light in his eyes, who bought this jade crown for, there is no doubt.
"How much silver?" Qin Zhi didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, so he directly interrupted him.
"Ahh This, give the original price of ten taels of silver, look at Mrs. You are as beautiful as a fairy, give you a discount, and sell it to you for eight taels of silver! The peddler quickly stopped his introduction and said.
"It's so expensive." Xue Shen frowned, it was not because he had no money or was stingy, anyone with a little eyesight could see that it was not worth the price at all.
However, compared to the hawker's sky-high asking price, he was more worried about Qin Zhi being deceived.
Turning her head to look at Qin Zhi, she was about to say something, when she heard her look at the vendor coldly, like a cold-faced bodhisattva who didn't understand anything at all, "Four taels." ”
Xue Shen"? ”
Hawker"? ”
The two of them were stunned at the same time, they have lived for so long, and it is the first time they have seen such a bargaining person, and they cut it in half as soon as they came up, how to do this business?
Looking at these two stunned chickens, especially Xue Shen, staring at him motionlessly with a pair of eyes, a little surprised and a little dazed, looking unusually cold, looking cute and cute.
Her inexplicable mood was much better.
"To sell or not to sell?" She repeated it to the vendor.
"No, six taels, how about six taels?" The peddler hurriedly spoke.
"Three or two." Qin Zhi remained silent.
"It's not Madame, there is no such bargaining as you, I said six taels, you should say five taels, and then I said four taels, that's right." The peddler was in a hurry, thinking that he could still save it.
"Okay." Qin Zhi is as good as a stream.
"Six taels." The peddler's eyes lit up and he shouted.
"Three or two." Qin Zhi answered, and as soon as the words fell, he heard the hawker's categorical sentence "Deal!" ”
Xue Shen really couldn't hold back and laughed.
Only then did the peddler realize what he had said, and his face suddenly became bitter.
This...... What is this called?
"Three taels, sell or not?" Qin Zhi sighed for a moment, and the bargaining calculations he had used to make in the department store were really useful everywhere, and asked the vendor with a smile.
This thing is more than two taels, and three taels is the normal price, Qin Zhi didn't do anything too much, knowing that this would be a price that made the hawker feel a toothache but acceptable.
Sure enough, Xue Shen looked at the vendor and gritted his teeth, "Sell!" ”
After leaving the stall, the corners of Qin Zhi's lips rose high. "How's that, awesome?"
Qin Zhi is rarely so childish, or since he woke up that day, all the behaviors he showed gave Xue Shen the impression that they were calm and cautious, smart and decent, although they sometimes would be unforgiving, but they were actually very good-hearted.
Now looking up at Zi with his head up like this, and a little proud, Xue Shen couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.
Awesome is really awesome, and cute is really cute.
He said silently in his heart, and then nodded.
It's not that Qin Zhi hasn't bought anything for him, on the contrary, everything in the house is handled by Qin Zhi, but this jade crown still makes Xue Shen feel happy.
Xue Shen had a premonition, compared to the beginning, Qin Zhi was still a little wary of himself, no, it was not a precaution, but he always had a sense of alienation. But by this time, this feeling has gradually faded.
This change is not good or bad, but it really makes him happy.
I was so happy that I thought about it like this, I felt warm in my heart, and I was so happy that I didn't feel enough to laugh when I looked at the person in front of me.
The corners of his lips did not fall, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of her hair, "The branches are very powerful." ”
There was a smooth touch under his hands, as well as Qin Zhi's giggling, and his mood also improved.
"Go look at the fabric." Qin Zhi glanced at the side and took the lead in walking over.
Xue Shen followed closely.
