Chapter Fifty-Four: The Asking Price
"Ah Fu, this will be the meal, I'm busy outside, why are you here?"
"Needless to say, this kid must have run in and be lazy......"
"I'll see how the shopkeeper cleans up your ...... in a moment"
"Hahaha......"
“……”
There are also many people in the backyard of Dingfeng Building, all of whom are doing chores in the restaurant.
Seeing this guy named Ah Fu, many people were busy with the things at hand, and they competed to make fun of them.
"Go, go, go...... Don't talk nonsense, I came in on business, didn't I see anyone behind me......"
A few ridiculous guys looked at Shi Zijian and the others when they heard this, and they were all relieved when they saw the basket behind them.
Politely bent down towards Shi Zikang and the others, and then said no more, and went busily.
"How much meat do you have?" Looking for a relatively spacious place, Ah Fu stopped first and asked.
"There are quite a few." As he spoke, Shi Zijian hurriedly put down the basket on his back, and helped Yun Rong take off the basket.
"These two baskets are full of them." He smiled and touched his head.
"This is a bit much, and I can't be the master, you wait first, I'll go and ask the shopkeeper to come over."
"Then there's Brother Lao." Shi Zikang overtook him.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Ah Fu waved his hand again and again, and ran away without a trace as he spoke.
It didn't take much effort to see Ah Fu, who had just left, walking towards them behind a middle-aged man in a long robe.
"Presumably this is the shopkeeper of Dingfeng Tower, there is a lot of trouble." Shi Zikang took the lead in bowing to the comer.
Seeing this, Shi Zijian and the others also hurriedly followed him to salute.
The shopkeeper of the Dingfeng Building didn't have any shelves, and when he saw this, he also saluted them back.
said in an easy-going tone: "You don't have to be polite, I heard Ah Fu say that you want to sell pork?" Can you show me the meat. ”
"It's nature." While Shi Zikang was talking, Shi Zijian had already lifted the layers of banana leaves above the back basket.
The shopkeeper was not hypocritical, and when he saw this, he squatted down directly and carefully observed the meat in the back basket.
After looking at it for a while, he reached out and took out a piece and said with a smile: "The meat is quite fresh, and the fat and thin are really good." ”
Shi Zijian was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Our meat is good." This ......"
"My surname is Wu, just call me Wu's shopkeeper."
"Okay, shopkeeper Wu, take a look, so much meat, do you want it?"
Shopkeeper Wu looked at the two back baskets at his feet and put the meat in his hand back into the back basket.
smiled: "Although this amount is a bit much, the business has been good recently, and the meat consumption is also large, so I will ask for it." ”
All of them? That's great, you can sell it all at once, and you don't need to go to another house.
Shi Zijian glanced at each other, and they all saw joy in each other's eyes.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Wu reminded with a smile: "But you also need the right price, how much do you want to sell this meat?" ”
Without waiting for Shi Zikang to speak, the Qingdai took the lead and said: "Shopkeeper Wu, we want to sell this meat for fifty wen a catty." ”
Fifty wen a catty, this is simply a sky-high asking price!
Shopkeeper Wu had a cold look on his face, and turned his head to look at Qingdai, who suddenly spoke.
Seeing that it was still a child who suddenly interjected, his brows furrowed even tighter.
Look at the child's dress again......
Belch...... This girl isn't from this family, is she? (⊙o⊙)…
Could it be that a young lady from which family came to the store to eat, and came out to make trouble when she was bored?
"Green ...... Indigo ......"
Yun Rong and the others also came back to their senses at this time, and looked at Qingdai who opened their mouths with shocked eyes.
Shi Zijian looked at the look on the face of the shopkeeper Wu, and hurriedly apologized: "Shopkeeper Wu, she doesn't understand ...... child."
Qing Dai patted Yun Rong's hand soothingly, and took the lead in interrupting Shi Zijian's unfinished words.
"Shopkeeper Wu, our meat is not expensive for fifty wen a catty, you promise not to suffer."
"Qing Dai!" Shi Zijian was a little annoyed!
What's going on with this kid! It's hard to sell all the meat at once, but don't mess it up.
"Big brother, Shao'an don't be impatient, Qingdai must have her reasons." Shi Zikang reassured in a low voice.
If there was no matter of Mr. Zhuang's calligraphy and painting shop, he would definitely not agree with it now when he heard Qingdai say this.
However, after the previous events, he can also see that Qingdai is not a reckless child, and he will not make trouble at will.
Shopkeeper Wu also came back to his senses at this time, although he didn't know what the relationship between this girl and this family was.
But apparently they knew each other, and after seeing her dressed, they didn't pursue her nonsense.
smiled at Shi Zijian and the others soothingly, and then turned his head and asked, "The little girl said that I will not suffer a loss if I sell this meat."
"Do you know how much pork is on the market today?"
"I know, don't hide it from the shopkeeper Wu, we have all inquired, and the fat and thin meat like this is forty wen a catty."
At first, Shopkeeper Wu saw that she was young and luxuriously dressed, thinking that she didn't understand the price before she spoke casually, so he didn't mean to blame.
Now that she knows the market price, she is still asking for the price, and her face is a little colder.
He said coldly, "Yes." If this kind of meat is taken to the vegetable market and sold in bulk, it can indeed be bought for forty wen a catty.
"But we are a restaurant, and we can't afford to pay such a high price in the market."
Shopkeeper Wu said with a straight face, and said seriously: "Besides, the meat you have here is not all fat and thin, right?" ”
"Don't hide it from Shopkeeper Wu, we are wild boar, so there is more lean meat here."
Hearing her sincerity, Shopkeeper Wu's face softened a little.
Still with a cold face, he said, "Since the girl has already inquired about the price."
"Then you should also know that even on the market, the price of this lean meat is cheaper.
"The girl is asking for such a sky-high price, isn't she deliberately teasing me!"
Shi Zijian was suddenly a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Wu...... Don't say that.
"There must be some misunderstanding...... We definitely didn't mean that......"
"Yes, Shopkeeper Wu did misunderstand what I meant." Qingdai smiled: "How can I play the shopkeeper."
"I'm here to sell things, and whether I buy it or not depends on the shopkeeper's meaning, how can I play tricks on others and offend the buyer.
"I did find out what the price was in the market, and I knew that the price of selling to a restaurant was lower than the market price.
"But the price that the shopkeeper just said is the price of domestic pork.
"It's very different from our pork, which is a natural wild boar, and naturally the price is more expensive."
Seeing that his attitude has been down-to-earth and generous, Shopkeeper Wu is not annoyed even in the face of his cold questioning.
He was also interested, and asked, "Then you should tell me, it is also pork, why is your wild boar more expensive?" ”
