But how can no one ever do it? It's just that those women in the village can't refuse because Sister Chunmei came to buy it for the first time, and they definitely can't do it after two or three times, unless the purchase price is higher than hers.

There were also problems in the bazaar, the first two times were probably because of their beauty, but as soon as they arrived at the bazaar, they were accosted, and a few pieces of cloth were sold out.

Last time, I was not so lucky, and after standing at the market entrance for a long time, no one cared, and then a young man in his twenties came over, dressed in satin and wearing a hat trimmed with gold thread, and his appearance was white and pure.

Sister Chunmei noticed that the other party had a light smile on her face, obviously with bad intentions, so she turned around and left with a red face.

The young man shouted from behind, "Hey! Aren't you a cloth seller? Why did you run away, will I still rob you? Why don't you ignore me. ”

Sister Chunmei didn't hear it, left without looking back, and walked for a while before she dared to stop and turn back, the person was gone.

Only then did she realize that the young man was not speaking with a local accent, he was clearly from other places, and if she sold the cloth to him, she would probably be able to smile casually like the previous two times, and he would definitely be able to sell it for a few more dollars.

It's just that the other party is a young man, and he was timid for a while and missed the opportunity.

I walked to the women's pile in the countryside with regret, in front of the door of a dragon king temple, there were seven or eight stone steps, and the layers were full of women from various villages, some holding a basket of chickens, some holding an old hen, and some with two sacks of mountain goods in front of them, and the women selling cloth accounted for half of this group of women.

Sister Chunmei didn't want to be with the women in the village, so she found a clean stone nearby and sat down.

Sure enough, the people who bought the cloth came one after another, both men and women, but the clothes they were wearing were not as clean and beautiful as those of the young man.

Whenever someone asked, "How do you sell cloth?" the women who sold the cloth didn't care whether they really wanted to buy it or not, and they couldn't help but hula and gather around, and at the same time they rushed to talk, like a flock of chirping ducks.

The cloth in everyone's hands is also vying to stuff it into other people's hands, this kind of cloth selling method, so that Sister Chunmei, who came out of the big household, is very unaccustomed to it, she stands alone in the distance, anyway, the price given by these buyers does not meet her expectations.

Generally, a piece of white cloth woven at home is about four feet and five feet long, and it can be sold for at least 800 yuan per foot, and the price given by these buyers is only 700 yuan.

Sister Chunmei, who had watched it for a long time, secretly wondered, at such a low price, why did they still rush to sell it to others? And the first two times they sold more than 800 wen, but why did they go back and say that they made more money here than themselves?

I was very puzzled by this, but I couldn't ask anyone for a while, Sister Chunmei said that there must be a reason for this, and women who care about it will never sell it cheaply, so she decided to look at it and talk about it.

After a while, two middle-aged men dressed as businessmen slowly walked over, and it seemed that they were also from other places.

Before they could speak, they saw the most lively village sister-in-law, Kang, who was the most lively among women, and preemptively said, "Hey! Buy mine. I know you from the Cantonese cargo ship. ”

Sister Chunmei knew that these Guangdong merchants transported all kinds of goods to Jinling to sell, and they were very rich, so she unconsciously glanced at those two people.

One of them was also looking at her, and the eyes of the two looked at each other, and Sister Chunmei quickly lowered her head.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "This little sister-in-law, your cloth is good-looking, do you sell it?"

Sister Chunmei, who has been very sensitive to men's speech since she was a child, immediately noticed that the other party deliberately paused her words, and whether she looked good or not was connected together, it was clearly a blatant flirtation.

I have long been accustomed to this, and if I was in the village, I would definitely ridicule each other, but here, I could only keep my head down and choose to remain silent.

At this time, Sister-in-law Kang, who still had charm, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Last time, you were one foot and twenty-five wen, and this time you will sell it at this price."

"Did you recognize the wrong person?" The middle-aged man looked at her with a smile, "Our ship only arrived today, and the last time was half a year ago. Fortunately, it is a cloth seller, and it is okay to admit mistakes, but if you recognize the wrong man......"

Sister Chunmei saw that Sister-in-law Kang was in public, holding a white cloth in one hand, and gently patting the other party's arm with the other, and scolded with a smile: "Short-lived ghost!" You dare to ask the old lady for cheap. ”

The middle-aged man grinned, and another businessman laughed: "You guy is really a, she beat you, and you laughed instead."

"You know what." The middle-aged man laughed incessantly, and a pair of eyes repeatedly roamed the faces of the women.

Sister-in-law Kang stuffed the cloth under his flank, motioned for him to clamp it, and then stretched out her hand and said, "The cloth has been sold to you, give the money quickly."

"I didn't say I wanted to buy your cloth, why should I give money?" The middle-aged man screamed.

Sister-in-law Kang said, "The cloth is all the same, why don't you buy mine?"

Another merchant laughed and said, "That's right! It's all the same, why ......"

"You're a thousand-cutter." Sister-in-law Kang rushed up and hammered him twice on the arm, "I mean cloth, you also come to take advantage of the old lady." ”

The man was beaten, and he was laughing back and forth. In this way, Sister-in-law Kang not only sold the cloth to them, but also had to ask for a thousand yuan.

Unexpectedly, these two people agreed in one bite, and invited her to eat snacks in the teahouse opposite.

So under the gaze of the stunned Sister Chunmei, the three of them talked and laughed and entangled.

At this point, Sister Chunmei finally understood that it was not enough to just sell cloth, more or less had to add some other means, in short, it was necessary to rely on selling hue, no wonder the women in the village were secretive about selling cloth in the market, and many women refused to go again after going a few times.

Then I observed for a while, and every time the male patron came, everyone still rushed forward. Wait until the customer identifies who is the person, talk to him alone, and then go somewhere.

Although the women in the village will not really cheat, of course, some people may have them, most of them should be lonely businessmen and idlers who accompany the journey to chat, flirt and scold, or maybe have other needs.

The question is, how can you do such a business yourself? Originally, the reputation was not good, but during the period, there were a few people who bought cloth in a regular manner, but the prices given were very low without exception.

After listening to Sister Chunmei's words, Shen Kan said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that simply selling cloth would have such a doorway, I didn't think about it at the time."

Glancing at the roll of cloth in her hand, Shen Kan said again: "Are you going to go today?" Forget it, I'll give you another way. ”

"Fifth Young Master, you can help me for a while, can you help me for a lifetime?" Sister Chunmei glanced at him, "Since I met you, I really have to ask the teacher for the crime." ”

"How?" Shen Kan raised his eyebrows.

"Who told me to encounter a dead man later?" Sister Chunmei bit her lip, and her pretty face gradually turned red, "I don't dare to say it to anyone, do you want to listen to it now?"

Shen Kan noticed her strange change and said, "Say it, I'll listen."

"Hmm." Sister Chunmei blushed and nodded.

It turned out that she retreated at that time, holding the cloth and preparing to go home, and just after walking a few dozen steps, she heard a woman's voice behind her: "That sister-in-law, how did you sell your cloth?"

Sister Chunmei stood up and turned around, and saw that it was an old woman of about fifty, wearing a clean blue cloth skirt, covered with a blue satin armor, with a silver hairpin upside down on her head, and two shining silver skein bracelets on her two wrists.

Seeing that it was a rich old lady, Sister Chunmei hurriedly accosted her and said with a smile: "Old man, do you want to buy cloth?" Plain white is not clean, there is no dyeing and no embroidery. ”

"I need plain white at home." The old woman came over and said, "What price?"

Sister Chunmei never forgot the high price for the first two times, because the other party was rich, she was confused for a while, and said casually: "Nine hundred yuan." After saying this, she immediately regretted it, how could she ask an old lady for a price like this, but don't see her lion open her mouth and leave in displeasure.

The old woman stretched out her hand and asked for the cloth, picked up a corner and looked at it, rubbed it twice with her hand, nodded and said, "Your cloth shuttle is tight, and the weaving is also careful, and this price is not expensive."

Sister Chunmei was overjoyed and said, "Since you always like it, I will reduce twenty wen, do you think it?"

"What's not to do." The old woman laughed, and then looked a little embarrassed.

Sister Chunmei immediately said, "Where do you live, old man?" I'll send it to you. ”

"My house is not far away, but unfortunately, I don't have any money with me." The old woman smiled even more happily, and pointed in one direction, "It's over there, turn a corner, you come with me." ”

When Shen Kan heard this, he understood, and sighed secretly in his heart, it was not easy to make a living in ancient times, Sister Chunmei was like this, why not the old woman!
