Chapter 79: Who Tricks Whom
"Okay, then you'll be given fifty each, for a total of two hundred and fifty!"
To everyone's surprise, Ye Bai actually agreed.
Cheng Cheng's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows at Ye Bai and said, "Brother Bai, I asked you to help me get those fifty back, why did you send out two hundred!" ”
The pangolin was also dumbfounded, according to the basic routine of bargaining, it should be that it first made an excessive demand, then the other party counteroffered, and finally the two reached a consensus on a price point it expected.
In this way, it can not only get the ideal price in its mind, but also make the other party feel that it has taken advantage of it (the psychological demolition effect).
It thought that it would be about the same if it could get 150 pieces, but he didn't expect the other party to be so refreshing, and he didn't bother to bargain at all, this kind of wronged head was the first time he had met it!
Ye Bai patted Cheng Cheng on the shoulder and signaled him not to get excited.
He took out a hundred energy crystals and handed them to the pangolin, saying, "Pay a hundred in advance, and give you the remaining one hundred when you reach your destination in the future, how about it?" ”
The pangolin immediately took it, nodded and said, "Okay, boss, you are a bold person, I can trust you!" ”
Then he looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early, we have to leave early, there are still more than fifty kilometers away from the next forest station, and strive to arrive before dark!" ”
Ye Baiqi said: "Is there a post station in this mountain wilderness? ”
The pangolin smiled and replied: "Naturally, there is an endless stream of people who come to the Lingkuang Mountain Range every year, and there is naturally money to be made in this place where there are people, and there are naturally all kinds of businesses to buy and sell if there is money!" ”
After saying that, he took out an apple and walked to lead the way while eating.
"Say it." Hua Qianyu followed, leaned over to Ye Bai's side and whispered, "Why are you willing to give it so many energy crystals, are you thinking about something in your head?" ”
"You're really a roundworm in my stomach!" Ye Bai gently scratched the bridge of her nose and explained, "The dignified three-eyed wild monster has actually fallen to the foot of this mountain to steal customers and cheat money, it can be seen that the situation on this Spirit Mine Mountain Range must be extremely complicated, if we rush forward, we may encounter some trouble."
Although this pangolin is greedy for money and has a flamboyant tongue, it is very tactful.
This kind of person who loses his smile everywhere, although he is not too respected everywhere, can eat everywhere, so he must know the things on the mountain very well.
Although I won't trust this kind of person, I have to give him a little sweetness and let him stay by my side, so that I can save a lot of trouble! ”
After hearing this, Hua Qianyu gently pinched his arm and asked, "Why have you become so scheming?" ”
"Isn't this called scheming and wisdom, and I've always been so smart, okay? It's just not used on you and the fat man. ”
"If you dare to play tricks in front of me!" Hua Qianyu grabbed his flesh and tugged hard.
"Ah~, tap!" Ye Bai immediately begged for mercy, "I have a few flower intestines, you don't know, how can I deceive you!" ”
Hua Qianyu: "You are self-aware!" ”
Baili Tu Su and Guigu Qi followed closely behind hand in arm, and Baili Tu Su whispered in Guigu Qi's ear: "They look like this now, when we are in love, the more I look at them, the more I feel that they are like lovers!" ”
Guigu Qi also nodded approvingly.
Only Cheng Cheng was at the end, his face was not very good, and he complained: "Why do you have my customized dog food everywhere you go!" ”
Climbing all the way over the mountains, before they knew it was noon, the pangolin took them to a stream to rest.
The pangolin washed his face with his paws, combed a few hairs on the top of his head, and quietly looked at the five people behind him, and saw that they looked tired, hungry and sleepy, and knew that his opportunity to make money had come!
Take out a linen bag, which is full of inferior fruits purchased at a low price, and the steamed buns and steamed buns left over from the inn, but this barren mountain and wilderness, it is good to eat, who cares if it is leftovers.
As a senior ground guide, he will naturally seize all business opportunities, like these wronged people in front of him, who lack even common sense, have been trapped in the mountains and forests for several days, and the dry food he brings with him is afraid that he will be eaten long ago.
At this time, if you take out some food casually, they will also grab it like crazy, you don't need to be polite to them at all, just slaughter them ruthlessly, in order to fill your stomach, no matter how outrageous the price is, they will finally compromise and give in.
Thinking so proudly, the pangolin took out a steamed bun and put it in his mouth to try to lure them, and when he turned around, he found that those guys had actually built a fire on a stone slab, and there was an iron pot on the fire!
"! Why did you come out and bring a pot? "The pangolin's eyes are about to fall.
"Naturally, it's cooking." Several people replied with ordinary faces.
Then he discussed fiercely: "Brother Bai, today's hot pot must be a clear soup pot, I really can't get used to your Sichuan's spicy taste!" ”
"Clear soup! You're insulting hot pot! ”
"At least don't put any more pepper!"
"This is done."
Then, the pangolins saw them out of thin air with a plate of sliced potatoes, lettuce, tofu, pork belly, duck intestines, and beef balls......
As Ye Bai put the hot pot base into the boiling water, a rich fragrance wafted out, and the pangolin almost fell to the ground drunk when it smelled it for the first time.
The footsteps came over in vain, the nose kept sniffing, it seemed that running away from the slightest smell was a violent thing, and asked obsessively: "Bosses, how can you cook such an intoxicating fragrance!" ”
Ye Bai pretended to smile mysteriously: "I'm afraid that our thing can't even compare to the dragon dry phoenix gall, and we don't have to eat it in the sky!" ”
After saying that, he gave the other four people a pair of dishes and chopsticks, but deliberately ignored it.
Seeing everyone eating and drinking, the pangolin was salivating on the side, and sighed again and again: "This kind of deliciousness, the first time I saw it in my life, it's a pity that I don't have this mouthful!" ”
"Brother Ji is also interested in this?" Ye Bai pretended to be curious and asked.
I thought I didn't love this thing, and I had to share my own dishes and chopsticks!
The pangolin was relieved and immediately nodded.
"Say it earlier!" Ye Bai took out a pair of chopsticks, handed them to him, and said with a smile, "This pair of chopsticks has a hundred crystals, thank you!" ”
The pangolin, who just wanted to take the chopsticks, jumped up, as if touching a hot potato, and shouted: "What, you want a hundred crystals for a pair of chopsticks, rob you!" ”
"What do you mean?" Ye Bai looked aggrieved and angry, and said, "I just accepted these hundred crystals when I met Brother Ji, and I want to change them to someone else...... I'll give it away for free! Whoever calls you our friend, I've got to get something to prove that our friendship isn't! ”
Pangolin: "......"
"Hahahaha!" Seeing its deflated appearance, Cheng Cheng finally let out a breath of evil breath and mended his knife, "Brother Bai, you are too uninteresting, can a hundred crystals represent the friendship between us and Brother Ji, I think there are at least two hundred!" ”
The pangolin stuffed the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth and turned away angrily.
~
"Here, cheers!"
The pangolin sat alone by the stream and nibbled on steamed buns, and before he could finish venting his sullenness, there was a sound of cups staggering behind him.
"Damn, it's too much!" The pangolin was stunned again, "How can anyone go out and even bring their own drinks!" ”
And their wine is still packed in a transparent quilt, showing a bright red color, and exuding a rich aroma.
It used to be a lover of wine, and he could resist the temptation of good food, but he could not resist the temptation of fine wine.
He was willing to put down his face again and walked over, and asked with a smile: "Bosses, are you drinking wine?" ”
Ye Bai replied: "Naturally, it's wine." ”
The pangolin said unbelievingly: "Don't lie to people, who doesn't know that wine is colorless, how can there be red wine?" ”
Ye Bai smiled and said: "Brother I don't know, the wine in this wood domain is naturally colorless, but this wine is produced in the Western Regions, called 'Hongyanrong', not only the color is charming, the aroma is also rich and pleasant, and the taste is soft and pure, delicate and elegant!" And I got this wine from an immortal village, and few mortals can drink it! Why, Brother Ji is also interested in this wine? ”
Pangolin was addicted to alcohol by him, but he also knew that his next sentence would definitely be to talk about the price, gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "Just say it, I'll taste how many energy crystals you want?" ”
Ye Bai was slightly stunned, a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be so greedy this time, he stretched out two fingers and said: "Two hundred!" ”
"What? I'll get 200 of them for one bite! ”
"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Ye Bai immediately reassured, "It's all a voluntary business, and I didn't force my brother to do it, you can choose not to drink it!" ”
The pangolin is very uncomfortable, and two white energy crystals are not a small amount for it, after all, it is not every day that these wronged heads in front of it are sent to the door.
But this wine is really excellent in terms of color and aroma, and it is really tempting.
It took out a hundred and handed it to Ye Bai, almost gritting his teeth and saying, "This hundred plus the one hundred you still owe me, a total of two hundred, give me a taste!" ”
"Brother is refreshing!"
Ye Bai took out a glass and poured it a small half cup, and the pangolin immediately grabbed it and drank it all.
"Ahem, cough, cough~"
Because I drank it so fast, I choked it and it came out of my eyes.
Ye Bai immediately reminded: "This is red wine, you have to drink it slowly, it's hard for you to taste its beauty when you drink it so quickly!" ”
Unexpectedly, the pangolin waved his hand and said excitedly: "Good wine!" Sure enough, good wine! It's not much heartburn, but it goes straight to the brain! The taste is so soft that there is not a trace of impurities, and it is the first time in my life that I have encountered such a good wine! ”
"Connoisseur!" Ye Bai didn't see that it really had some skills in wine tasting.
The pangolin looked at the remaining half bottle of red wine in Ye Bai's hand, his eyes lit up, but when he thought of its expensive price, his heart was cold.
Ye Bai saw its entanglement, knowing that he had already entered the set, squinted his eyes and smiled: "If Brother Ji still wants to drink, I can give you the remaining half bottle, not only will I not take a penny, but I will also return the two hundred pieces I received from you before!" ”
"Really!"
The pangolin was overjoyed, and he could see Ye Bai's smiling eyes, but he knew that this thing was absolutely not fun, so he lowered his face and asked, "Say, what are the requirements?" ”
