007 bargaining

Gao Yunniang led the sixth sister-in-law to the room, took the pottery bowl with refined salt, and just appeared in front of the sixth sister-in-law, the sixth sister-in-law's eyes stared at the salt in the pottery bowl.

"This ...... Is this the salt that Yu'er and his uncle brought? The sixth sister-in-law asked, pointing to the salt in the pottery bowl.

Gao Fei ran in from outside, and just then said, "That's right, it's the salt that my uncle brought yesterday, and I put it in the bowl with my own hands." ”

The sixth sister-in-law looked at the salt in the bowl, envious, and said: "This salt is not ordinary, it should be the legendary refined salt, which may not be able to be bought in our entire Wujiang County......"

"Sixth sister-in-law, take as much as you need!" Gao Yunniang said.

The sixth sister-in-law stretched out her hand and wanted to take it, but before her hand touched the bowl, she retracted it again, frowned and said to Gao Yunniang: "Yunniang, I think it's better to forget it, I'll go find someone else to borrow it, I want to take your salt, and I won't be able to repay the same salt as you." ”

Gao Yunniang saw that the sixth sister-in-law turned around to leave, hurriedly stopped her, and said: "Sixth sister-in-law, look at what you said, isn't it just a little salt, you can take it, didn't I say it just now, you don't have to pay it back!" ”

"Don't you have to pay it back? How embarrassing that is......"

"What's so embarrassing about that, usually you and the sixth brother don't help me less, even if this salt is my thank you, it's always okay, right?"

"This ......"

"What's this, this salt, I'll give you half of it, if it's not enough, you tell me again, and when Yu'er and his uncle come next time, I'll let him get more salt." As Gao Yunniang spoke, she poured the salt in the bowl into another bowl, which was more than half of it.

The sixth sister-in-law saw it really on the side, and she was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Enough is enough, just a little, it doesn't need so much!" ”

Gao Yunniang handed the sixth sister-in-law a large bowl of salt, and the sixth sister-in-law shirked it several times without pushing it off, so she took the half bowl of refined salt and left satisfied.

Looking at the back of the sixth sister-in-law leaving, Gao Yunniang breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart she was carrying finally fell back to its original place.

At this time, Gao Yunniang glared at Gao Fei fiercely, and said with a little anger: "It's all a good thing you did!" ”

Instead of being afraid, Goofy smiled. Actually, he did this on purpose, since Gao Yunniang didn't let him openly sell salt for money, then he could only do it secretly.

The little salt given to the sixth sister-in-law should be regarded as the interest that went out first, and when it was evening, he would go to the sixth sister-in-law's house and take it back with interest.

When the sixth sister-in-law left, Gao Fei deliberately followed, and saw that the sixth sister-in-law lived less than fifty steps away from his house, so he went back to the house.

At night, Gao Fei waited for Gao Yunniang to fall asleep, so he secretly ran out and went to the room first. He first opened the last packet of salt he brought, then poured the salt into a pottery bowl, and then took the pottery bowl full of salt, quietly slipped out of the house, and walked straight towards the sixth sister-in-law's house.

In the dead of night, Gao Fei walked alone on the road, the cold wind blew on his face, making him shiver all over his body, even so, it was difficult to resist the heat in his heart.

After only a while, Gao Fei came to the door of the sixth sister-in-law's house, raised his hand and banged vigorously on the door.

At this time, the sixth sister-in-law's house was dark, and the sixth sister-in-law's family, who had been busy for a day, had already laid down to rest, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, and the sixth sister-in-law's home was lit up, and a middle-aged man in his thirties walked out of the door with his coat on, and looked out of the courtyard door with wide eyes, but saw nothing.

So, he rushed outside and shouted, "Who's knocking on the door?" ”

The voice was male, it should be Jia Liu, and Gao Fei shouted inside: "Uncle Liu, it's me!" ”

This person is indeed Jia Liu, he heard someone respond, and called him Uncle Liu, but he couldn't hear whose voice it was, and he didn't dare to go out rashly to investigate, so he asked again: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Yu'er, the son of your next-door neighbor Yun Niang." Goofy reported to himself.

"It turned out to be you kid, I thought it was who!" Jia Liu let down the guard in his heart and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, through the gap in the courtyard gate, he could vaguely see that there was indeed a child with a small head standing on the snow outside the door.

"Squeak", Jia Liu opened the courtyard door, squatted down and saw that it was really Yunniang's son Yu'er. It's just that when he saw Yu'er, he was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "It's late at night, why don't you sleep and come to me?" Where's your mother? ”

Goofy knelt on the ground with a "poof" and began to cry.

Seeing this, Jia Liu hurriedly helped Gao Fei up, and hurriedly asked, "Kid, what are you doing here, why did you suddenly kneel down for me?" ”

Gao Fei sobbed and said, "Uncle Liu, my mother suddenly fell ill, very sick, but I don't have the money to hire a doctor......

When Jia Liu heard Gao Fei say this, he knew that Gao Fei was here to borrow money from him. He frowned and said to Gao Fei: "Child, you don't have money to treat your mother, your sixth uncle and I are also a poor ghost, you came to me to borrow money, you can be regarded as looking for the wrong person......

Gao Fei shook his head and said, "Sixth Uncle, I'm not here to borrow money from you......"

As soon as he was halfway through the words, Gao Fei showed the bowl of refined salt hidden behind him, and said to Jia Liu: "Uncle Liu, this is the refined salt that my uncle just sent over yesterday, about a catty, I want to use these refined salt to exchange some money with Uncle Liu, and then take the money to see my mother's medical ......"

Jia Liu was stunned, he and Gao Yunniang have been neighbors for five years, it can be said that he watched Gao Yunniang's son grow up day by day, this fatherless wild child has been stupid since he was a child, standing there is also dumbfounded, like an elm pimple, usually he can't even speak clearly, why is it like a different person today, he speaks very fluently, this mind is also very clear, and he actually knows that he is taking salt for money.

Jia Liuzai carefully looked at the wild child standing in front of him, but no matter how he looked at it, it was no different from before. Perhaps, it was this wild child who was eager to save his mother, and suddenly opened his mind.

His gaze began to fall involuntarily on the bowl of salt that Goofy was holding in his hand, there was no fire, the bowl of salt was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, it was almost as white as snow on the ground.

During the day, the sixth sister-in-law borrowed salt and came back, Jia Liu stared at the salt borrowed by the sixth sister-in-law, this kind of refined salt may not be sold in the whole Wujiang County, and if the rich and noble people want to buy it, they must go to the capital to buy it.

As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, Jia Liu saw that the salt in Gao Fei's hand, although it was only about a catty, but if he took it to the county seat to sell it, it might provoke the crazy robbery of the rich and noble, and he might be able to sell it for a high price.

"Although Uncle Liu, I am also a poor ghost, but I can still save a few dollars by saving money, but I don't save much money......" Jia Liu said this, he suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, then hugged his arms and began to look at the refined salt in Gao Fei's hand, and asked, "How much do you want to exchange for this salt?" ”

Gao Fei is not a fool, he has been crisscrossing the mall for so many years, and he can still see Jia Liu's little bit of fancy intestines clearly.

This refined salt is priceless in Wujiang County, although the refined salt sold in the capital area is about 30 yuan, but it is not sold in Wujiang County. Once refined salt is sold on the ground in Wujiang County, it may cause a lot of demand, and the price will also rise.

This is also a goal that Goofy hopes to achieve, when the time comes, he can make more refined salt, and then sell it to make more money.

It's just that now here in Jia Liu, Gao Fei must pretend to be a fool, neither too much nor too little. So, he thought for a while, and then he said: "Sixth uncle, I don't know how much this salt can be exchanged for, so you can watch and give it!" ”

Jia Liudeng's heart was full of joy, not to mention how happy he was, but his face was expressionless, and after thinking about it in his heart for a while, he cleared his throat and said to Gao Fei: "This salt is a very ordinary thing, and it is not worth a few dollars, I also bought your salt because you urgently need money to see your mother." Well, how about I'll give you ten little money? ”

"Ten little money? How much is that? How many small dollars can a big dollar be worth? Gao Fei was confused, he didn't know anything about the currency system of this era, how could he know the conversion between big money and small money.

Jia Liu saw Gao Fei frowning and didn't speak, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "Does this little wild seed know how much a big dollar is worth and how little it is?" ”

Gao Fei glanced at Jia Liu, and saw that Jia Liu's expression had shown some discomfort, so he didn't speak, but stretched out his hands and snapped his fingers one by one.

After a while, Gao Fei said, "Sixth Uncle, can you have more, this is refined salt!" ”

Jia Liu's face felt a burst of heat, this little wild seed actually knew that he was taking refined salt, and the word "refined salt" was very heavy, as if he was deliberately reminding.

"That'...... So you say, how much do you want to exchange? Jia Liu didn't want to bother, so he asked directly.

Gao Fei muttered and said slowly: "I heard my mother say that our coarse salt here sells for thirteen big dollars a catty, and the one I hold is refined salt, so it should be more expensive than coarse salt, right?" But how much does this refined salt sell, I haven't heard my mother say. Sixth uncle, why don't you do this, I'll sell you this catty of refined salt, how about you give me fifteen big money? ”

Jia Liu secretly said in his heart: "Damn! In the future, who will say that this little wild seed is stupid and doesn't chirp, Lao Tzu has to pump him a few big mouths! Just the bargaining trick of this little wild seed, and this young age, not only is it not stupid, but it can be described as smart. ”

However, Jia Liu's mood took another 180-degree turn, and he secretly rejoiced: "But! No matter how smart this little wild seed is, it is still not as smart as me, as long as I have fifteen big dollars for refined salt, I will take it to the county seat and sell it, and at least make fifteen big dollars back! ”

Gao Fei saw Jia Liu standing there without saying a word, as if he was thinking, he couldn't wait so long, it was freezing outside, he was still cold, and he didn't have time to stand here and consume Jia Liu so much. So, Gao Fei hurriedly asked: "Sixth Uncle, do you want this refined salt, if you don't want it, I will sell it to others." ”

"Yes! I didn't say no! Jia Liu hurriedly snatched the whole bowl of refined salt that Gao Fei was holding in his hand, then turned around and walked towards the house, saying as he walked, "You wait here, I'll get you the money!" ”

Gao Fei looked at Jia Liu's distant back, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his goal was achieved.

After Jia Liu entered the house, he soon came out, still holding the pottery bowl in his hand, the difference is that the pottery bowl is no longer filled with refined salt, but replaced with money, fifteen big coins are placed in it, and there is a sound of metal colliding from time to time when he walks.

"That's fifteen big bucks, count them!" Jia Liu handed the pottery bowl to Gao Fei.

Goofy held the bowl and looked at the money in the bowl, he didn't know if it was big money or small money. So, he first took out a big sum of money and made a weighing appearance in his hand, and then his eyes glanced at Jia Liu, always paying attention to the old boy's expression, afraid that he had been deceived.

Jia Liu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when he saw Gao Fei act like this, he originally wanted to use fifteen small coins to pretend to be big money, but when he remembered Gao Fei's unusual performance and behavior tonight, he had no choice but to give up and really took out fifteen big coins and put them in it. At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on making a wise move, and at the same time had to admire the cleverness of this little wild species.

"Don't weigh it, it's a lot of money, it's genuine, can your sixth uncle still lie to you?" Jia Liu said on the side.

Gao Fei smiled, and then carefully counted the money in the bowl, just enough for fifteen, and then said "Thank you, Uncle Liu" to Jia Liu, and then turned around and left.

Jia Liu looked at the back of Gao Fei leaving, and couldn't help but secretly say: "How did this little wild seed become so smart all of a sudden, it doesn't look like a five-year-old child at all." ”
