Chapter 9 Selling skins at a higher price, an unexpected joy

Goatee was originally a master of Yishan County, three out of forty this year, a native of Jiabu Town, and his surname is Jia Mingquan. Today, when I returned to my hometown and province, I happened to encounter the market in Jiabu Town, so I came to take a look.

I have been thinking about preparing a birthday gift for the county lord and his wife, but this county lord is a famous fake Qinggao, and there are too many people who want to tie up the county lord, and the famous rich businessmen around him are all sending gold and silver in boxes, and they don't have so much money to give, and they want to fight at the birthday banquet, so it's hard to kill him.

When I saw this eye-catching tiger skin today, I knew that I had met a good baby.

It is said that there are three types of tiger skins, the white tiger skin of Changbai Mountain, the golden tiger skin of Dali, and then the tiger skin known for its ferocity. The white tiger is rare in a thousand years, the high road of Jinhu Mountain is far from rare and rare, and the eye-catching tiger is only available in the turbulent era, and it is also a rare encounter in a hundred years. Coincidentally, the eye-catching tiger died in the belly of a child with short legs and a loud voice.

"Little brother, five taels of silver is a lot, look at this tiger skin, there are scars." Jia Quan pointed to the tiger's head and saw that there was a scar, which should have been caused by other animals scratching and fighting.

"This big brother, this is a big eye-catching worm, it's rare, you give five taels of silver is really too little." Guo Yu originally had to agree to this price, but after Guo Tianyi interjected, he also felt that although five taels was a lot, it was not much, so he would bargain and make a little more money, who would dislike it more.

Jia Quan originally thought that he could win it in five taels, but who wanted to be disturbed by the little short leg in front of him, and really wanted to kick him, but he couldn't do this, and the stall owner's children couldn't beat it, and they had to buy other people's tiger skins.

"Brother, although you are a tiger skin with a big eye, but this tiger skin is flawed, not so exquisite, I will add you another tael, six taels of silver, but a lot" Jia Quan plans to grind the price little by little.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a square face and a broad belly, a short beard, and a pale yellow satin wide-sleeved robe, holding two white jade beads, turned as he walked, and walked towards Guo Yutan, barely bending down and reaching out to touch the tiger skin.

Guo Tian looked dressed up, holding a big stone ball in his hand, and at first glance he was a rich man, so he quickly handed the tiger skin to him and said, "This big man, look at what a good tiger skin it is."

The square-faced middle-aged man closed his eyes and touched the tiger skin with one hand for a while, looking like he was enjoying it. I opened my eyes and asked, "How do you sell this tiger skin?"

Guo Tian didn't wait for Guo Yu to speak, and replied directly, "This big man, I see that you are also a big man with status and taste, if you think it's good, give a price" Guo Tian patted smoothly and said easily.

When Guo Yu heard Guo Tian say this, he was stunned by this kid, who did he learn these things from at a young age, and he was a sycophant. You have to educate yourself well when you go home, you can't be like this, you can't be undisciplined.

When the square-faced middle-aged man heard Guo Tian's words, he was very useful, and said, "Little brother, does anyone want this tiger skin?" He looked at Guo Tian as he spoke, and by the way, he looked at Jia Quan who was standing next to him out of the corner of his eye.

"This big man, no one wants it yet, do you want to think it is appropriate to want this tiger skin, can you give a price?" Guo Yu said it in advance this time.

The square-faced middle-aged man looked up at Guo Yu this time, ready to bid, but Jia Quan saw it in his eyes and was anxious, good things might be stirred up. Hurriedly said, "This brother, why does this have to be a first-come, first-come, no-no, I'm already buying this tiger skin, you insert a bar in the middle, it's not appropriate, right?" ”

The square-faced middle-aged man wanted not to face Jia Quan who was standing next to him, but when he heard Jia Quan say this, he had to reply and said, "Brother Tai, this stall owner said that the tiger skin has not been sold yet, so yes, anyone can buy it, and the trade is not divided into first-come, first-served, and those with the right price will get it, am I right?"

The square-faced middle-aged man turned to Guo Yu and said, "That's it, I'll give twenty taels of silver, I want this tiger skin, and I need a tiger skin." The square-faced man said as he took out the silver and prepared to pay.

Jia Quan is in a hurry this time, this is 14 taels higher than the price he paid just now, isn't this to smash his own factory, without this tiger skin, how can he please the county master and his wife. Gritted his teeth and hurriedly said, "Come first, come first, I'll give you 25 taels, little brother, I want your tiger skin." snatched the tiger skin from the square-faced man, and by the way, took out the silver and threw it at Guo Yu's stall.

The square-faced man was very unhappy when he saw Jia Quan's actions, but he still kept a smile on his face and said, "Brother Tai, this business is not a forced purchase and sale, you are not a robber."

Jia Quan looked at the square-faced man, smiling, knowing that he had encountered a hard stubble today, this person has a very high cultivation, is not impatient or impatient, and exudes a domineering spirit when he speaks. Then he said, "Brother Tai, I urgently need this tiger skin, it is related to my future, and I hope Brother Tai will raise his noble hand"

Bow your head when it's time to bow your head, take a step back and open the sky, and further abyss. Jia Quan's retreat shows that he urgently needs this tiger skin, and hopes that the other party will give up the competition.

Middle-aged man, seeing Jia Quan say this, it is not easy to compete, although he likes this eye-catching big insect skin very much, but he can't force people to make it difficult, since there are people who need it more, let it be given to him. Listening to his words, this tiger skin is most likely used as a gift. Therefore, he said: "Since this is the case, then I wish Brother Tai a bright future" and turned to leave.

A tiger skin rose from 5 taels to 25 taels, a fivefold increase, which made Guo Yu unexpected, so he happily accepted the silver and gave Jia Quan two hares by the way.

After processing the goods, it was already noon, Guo Yu and the three of them went to the bazaar, found a steamed bun shop for lunch, bought some salt, materials, needlework and other materials, and bought a piece of cloth to go home, ready to let his daughter-in-law make a dress for the family. Guo Peining also bought a lot of things with five taels of silver from Guo Yu, and the two of them had big bags and small bags, carrying a lot of things on their shoulders and going home, followed by a child who was eating and walking with a paper bag in his hand.

In the morning, a total of 26 taels and three hundred yuan were harvested, and Guo Peining was given five taels in front, and Guo Yu took out another 8 taels and 150 yuan and distributed them to Guo Peining.

Guo Peining said, "Big brother doesn't need so much, and I wasn't there when I sold tiger skins this time, thanks to Guo Tian, who can talk, tiger skins are sold so much." I didn't expect to sell so much when I was killed before, but the previous five taels were enough, so I didn't have to give it to me anymore, and I didn't make any effort. Five taels is enough. Guo Peining is not greedy, and once again shirked the silver that Guo Yu handed over again.

Guo Yu said, "The big worm was carried back by the two of us, and it should be divided in half." In the market before, I saw so many people, handing back and forth money, for fear of making people have bad thoughts, so I didn't argue with you, this time I want to listen to my brother, and you have to save money to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

The two argued for a long time, and finally Guo Peining accepted 5 taels of silver, which would become the dowry for his future daughter-in-law, that is, his wife's book. The three of them are divided into two groups at the entrance of the village, and they go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers.

Guo Yu's family didn't expect that the tiger skin would be sold for so much money, and now Xiaotian has enough restraints to enter the school, and Guo Yu bought back so many things, as well as a piece of cloth, he can pull a new dress for each of his family.

Guo Yu asked his daughter-in-law Lan Xin to make a dress for Guo Tian first, he was about to go to school, and he had to dress decently. I can't follow a mud monkey, I want to worship Mr. to enter the hall, learn to read and become a cultural person.

Another night, Guo Yu educated the mud monkey Guo Tian. In the inner hall, Guo Tian was standing, Guo Yu was sitting, and he was taught how to respect Mr. when he arrived in the school, how to study hard, and how to take the exam in the future, not like himself, etc.

After a night's education, Guo Tian's head was big, his father was not at home before, and he was free, although he missed his father who he had never met. But after my father came back, I realized that I still wanted to be a child without a father, and I was at ease, and no one cared about it.
