However, fortunately, Su Jinyao was sensitive, and she didn't panic much, but asked the girl: "This sister, don't you feel unwilling because the basket that others bought for one dollar of silver is the same as the one you bought for three dollars of silver from me?" But let me tell you the truth, I sell things, the real price is clear, and the child is not bullied. If you think it's expensive, I can give you the money back, and you can return the basket to me. However, I can prove that other people's baskets are different from mine, and mine can be sold at this price. ”

When the girl heard Su Jinyao say this, she said, "It's exactly the same thing, why is yours different?" If yours are better than others, then it's worth it for me to spend three cents. But if you look at the street, it's on the other side of the street. A basket of silver is about the same style and size as yours. The girls from Huamanlou and Cuixiangfang next door also went to buy it, and now there are more girls carrying baskets on the street, all of them are very good-looking. But what we bought here for three cents of silver, we can buy three over there. ”

"I see what you mean." Su Jinyao nodded, and then looked at the other girls who had already gathered around because the two of them were talking, so she took off the burden on her back, untied the basket inside, and said, "Last time, a few sisters handed over the silver and booked my basket, and I brought it today." I also brought a few more to see if anyone else wanted to buy. I'll ask now, the sisters who were booked before, do you still want this basket? If not, I will give you the money now. And if you bought it back last time, you can get it back to me if you don't want it. ”

After Su Jinyao finished asking, a girl came over, it was one of the baskets she ordered last time, and said to Su Jinyao: "I don't want the one I ordered, in fact, I have already bought one at the corner of the street." I don't see any difference, but it's good. ”

Su Jinyao laughed when she heard it, didn't say a word, directly took out three coins of silver and handed it to her, and then said, "Is there anyone else who wants to return?" It's time to retreat early. ”

Another girl stood up, but after thinking about it, she didn't squeak, shook her head and said, "Forget it, I bought it, I really liked it at the time, and I didn't return it." However, I won't buy your stuff in the future, it's too expensive. ”

Su Jinyao still didn't say anything, with her previous temperament, she was going to ridicule each other. But now she doesn't want to do it, she just wants to make these short-sighted people regret it. So she said, "Since no one wants to return it, is there anyone else who wants to buy it?" I said it, buy what you want to buy now, don't wait until the price increases and then regret it. I'm not going to be a penny cheaper then. ”

As soon as Su Jinyao's words fell, the girl who stopped her at first laughed, and in a mocking tone, said, "Your basket is now taken out and sold, will anyone else buy it?" Then my basket will be returned, and you will sell it for four pieces of silver. I will not delay you in earning money. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, and went to take out the money bag again, but this time she only took out a few pieces of broken silver, and then a few copper plates. The money she earned last time plus the money for booking these baskets is also a lot, but she bought a lot of things and lent Chun Niu five taels of silver, so now there is not much silver in her pocket, and these few cents of silver add up, and there is only one penny of silver.

Seeing that Su Jinyao only took out a few small pieces of broken silver, the girl smiled and asked, "What's the matter, there is no money?" When we bought your things, we took the money quite neatly, but when we returned the money, you couldn't pay the money? But it's nothing, I'll be sweet to you, call me sister, and I'll take your money and silver, and return the basket to you. ”

These words are too insulting, Su Jinyao is not good-tempered, she didn't hand over the silver in her hand, but directly took out a silver ticket and said, "Here is a silver ticket of ten taels of silver, mortgaged here." I'm going to buy these baskets now, and I'm sure I'll be able to sell them for four dollars each. If one of them comes back, the ten taels of silver will be yours. If I sold them all......"

"So what?" The girl had a gloating expression on her face, clearly thinking that it was impossible for Su Jinyao to sell all these baskets for four dollars of silver.

Su Jinyao sneered and said, "Since it's a bet, let's make a big bet." I owe you three pieces of silver, and I mortgage you ten taels of silver, which is more than thirty times the price. If I can sell these baskets, I don't want more than 30 times your compensation, I want you a little finger. ”

"What? You...... How dare you commit murder? The girl didn't expect Su Jinyao to make such a big bet. You know, fingers and silver are two different things. It's nothing to lose money if you lose, she is a girl in this red sleeve shop, although it is not a red card, but she is not short of ten taels of silver. But if she misses a finger, she is disabled, so how can she mess around in this red sleeve shop in the future. If she is not in this red sleeve workshop, she will lose her livelihood, how can she make a living?

But Su Jinyao said: "Ten taels of silver is nothing to you, but for a person like me who is poor and sells the house is not worth five taels, what is mortgaged to you is all the belongings, which is the livelihood of my family." Isn't it worth your little finger? Su Jinyao's words made these girls who were watching the excitement couldn't help but take a breath. Looking at Su Jinyao's old clothes that are not new and not shiny, they all understand that this little girl is telling the truth. However, her breath is big enough, she loses ten taels of silver, and she dares to ask for someone's finger.

Therefore, some people wanted to come out to persuade them, but as soon as they stood up, Su Jinyao looked at them with a cold look, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling, and no one dared to come up and speak again.

"That's not okay, unless, if you lose, you'll pay me a finger." The girl was so anxious that she said such a thing.

Su Jinyao sneered and said, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to afford it then." ”

"What's not to blame? If you dare to gamble, I will accompany you. I also put down ten taels of silver, if I want this basket of money, the basket will be given to you. Whoever wins or loses has to take a finger at the end. The girl actually bit this Li'er and glared at Su Jinyao fiercely.

Su Jinyao looked at the basket in her bag, nodded and said, "Okay, this little thing is nothing to me." A finger is also a small meaning to me. But when I do it, don't cry. In addition, now send someone to the doctor, and the medicine to stop the bleeding is also prepared. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao carried her burden and prepared to go out. She is not afraid, a few baskets are still trivial to her, and it is not difficult to sell them for four coins of silver. The key is that she also has to find this field back, so that those who dare to imitate her things will no longer dare to put their ideas on her things. Otherwise, if she comes up with some gimmicks in the future, someone will come to counterfeit her, and her reputation will not be very good.

Before Su Jinyao reached the door, she heard someone upstairs shouting, "Sister Jinyao, stay." Su Jinyao turned around and saw Miss Ming coming down from upstairs in a hurry.

"Miss Ming, what's wrong?" Su Jinyao has a good impression of Miss Ming, at least she is also refreshing. She has also helped her business twice and is a good customer. Therefore, Su Jinyao's attitude is also quite good.

Miss Ming came to Su Jinyao, smiled slightly, and then took out a silver ticket from her sleeve and said, "I have fifty taels of silver tickets here, I don't count as betting, I just took out the silver ticket to protect one of your fingers." ”

"Miss Ming thinks I'm going to lose?" Su Jinyao smiled, feeling that Miss Ming was a little distrustful of her ability.

Miss Ming shook her head and lowered her voice: "It's because I trust you that I want to protect you." You should understand that without my fifty taels of silver tickets, even if you win, you can't take away a finger from her. ”

As soon as Miss Ming's words came out, Su Jinyao immediately understood. Although this red-sleeved workshop is a green building, it can also be regarded as one of the largest places in Anji City, and the people who come are all wealthy businessmen or lords and young masters of official families, so the girls here must be well-connected enough. If you make a bet with that girl, even if you win clean and beautiful, you have no backstage, and you have no money, you can't make that girl honor the gambling contract. If you don't get it right, you may be secretly knifed and planted a big heel.

Although Su Jinyao is not afraid of falling behind, she will not be afraid of that merchant and nobleman, but after all, she still wants to make a living in this Anji City, and she can't offend the people here because of a trivial matter.

And Miss Ming's fifty taels of silver is undoubtedly to support Su Jinyao. On the surface, people think that she doesn't trust Su Jinyao; But secretly told everyone that Su Jinyao was on her side, and whoever dared to have some crooked thoughts had to look at her face as a girl.

Su Jinyao's mind turned quickly, and once she figured it out, she was grateful in her heart, and felt that this Ming girl was a good person. So he nodded and said, "Then thank you Miss Ming, my finger may really be able to keep it." ”

"Wait, I'll also give fifty taels, Bao Jinyao's sister's finger." It turned out to be Miss Ziruo who spoke. While speaking, she hurriedly walked downstairs, took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and put it on the table, and said, "This hundred taels of silver can always keep her fingers, right?" I want to see, without worries, how can you win beautifully, Sister Jinyao. ”

"Okay, thank you Miss Ziruo." Su Jinyao also didn't expect that now the two red cards of the Red Sleeve Workshop could come forward to protect her. Therefore, it also proves that the little ideas she gave to these two red cards before did work.

Su Jinyao was sure that she could win, and now that she had someone to support her, she could naturally win beautifully. On the contrary, the girl who couldn't get along with her was so panicked, her eyes looked left and right, and she didn't know if she wanted to find a good sister to support her.

But now, Miss Ming and Miss Ziruo, the two top girls in the Red Sleeves Workshop, are on Su Jinyao's side, and she knows that even if there are a few sisters who are usually good, no one dares to stand up and say a word to her at this time. Therefore, I also regretted it, and I really felt that I shouldn't be on the same page with someone like Su Jinyao because of those three coins of silver.

Su Jinyao smiled and went out with her basket.

Miss Ming looked at Su Jinyao's back, and slowly walked to a table of eight immortals and sat down. also beckoned to Miss Ziruo and said, "Sister Ziruo, it's rare for you and me to be optimistic about the same person, why don't you sit together and wait for this result?" ”

Ziruo walked to the table and sat down, and said with a smile: "Miss Ming has been closed for the past few days, but I didn't expect that as soon as it opened yesterday, her value rose by twenty taels of silver." I heard that Zhou Gongzi is still coming to support you tonight, and your value should still rise. If my guess is correct, it should be the idea that Sister Jinyao gave you. You and I have benefited from her and received her guidance, if you don't stand aside again, I'm really sorry for Sister Jinyao's few words. ”

Miss Ming raised her hand to pour tea, put one of the cups in front of Zi Ruo, nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed not easy for a little girl to have such thoughts, such thorough calculations, and to be able to ponder people's psychology so thoroughly." Even if she is still rootless, powerful and wealthless, I think that if she is ambitious, she may have a day when she is prosperous. If my girl can rely on her support, I also look forward to a future. After all, no one wants to stay in this red sleeve shop for a lifetime, and it is not so easy to find a lover who can be entrusted with a lifetime. It's better to find a big tree and enjoy the shade in the future. ”

Listening to Miss Ming's words, Ziruo also secretly felt that Miss Ming was stable and straightforward, but she was a person who could intersect. After all, she also had the same thoughts about Su Jinyao, but she didn't say it as generously as Miss Ming. Su Jinyao didn't know about the conversation between Miss Ming and Ziruo, and she didn't know that she had been treated as a big tree that could be relied on. It's really just like Miss Ming said, "Ambition is not at an old age", Su Jinyao's mind and vision are not comparable to ordinary people, and Miss Ming's vision is really good enough.

And Su Jinyao now wants to make a name for herself. If those people follow her trend and imitate it, and wait until all the roads are blocked, then it is really that everyone will not have good fruit to eat.

Therefore, Su Jinyao went out with a basket, and without going far, she walked directly to the stall at the corner of the street. Put his basket on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Sell baskets, small baskets with exquisite craftsmanship and beautiful styles." Four pieces of silver. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao's shouting, few people came to see the basket, and the man who set up a stall to sell small baskets smiled. Turning his head and asking her, "Little girl, haven't you inquired about the market in advance?" The most expensive basket that the girl from the Red Sleeve Shop bought was only three dollars of silver, and you sold it for four dollars of silver at once, and no one came to buy it. You know, as soon as such a delicate and good-looking basket is listed, some people like it. I happen to have someone who knows this craft, so I let people rush to make dozens of them, isn't it just a penny of silver, the business is very good, yesterday evening I sold fifteen, this morning to now sold seven. These baskets of yours are similar to mine, don't sell them for four dollars of silver, listen to my advice, just sell them for one penny of silver. ”

Su Jinyao listened to this person's tone, and it seemed that it was still her own, wasn't it? And seeing that he is still quite enthusiastic, he thinks that he is also a person who is looking for pretty.

Su Jinyao smiled and asked rhetorically, "My basket is good, why should I sell it cheaply?" I'm four pieces of silver, and it's completely different from your one penny. The basket that the girl in the Red Sleeves Workshop bought at the beginning was three coins of silver, which was the price of my opening, and now whoever wants to buy it again is the same as four coins of silver, and there is no second price. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao say this, the man reacted, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "So, the basket of the Red Sleeve Workshop was the one you first sold?" Little girl, I can't persuade you about this. But I have to thank you, if you hadn't raised the price so high, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to sell it for such a good price. A penny of silver and a basket, who will buy the girl of the ordinary family. ”

"Hehe, that's right." Su Jinyao sneered, walked over directly, picked up a basket from his stall and fell to the ground, and then stepped on it hard, trampling the basket to pieces.

"Hey, you little girl is a madman, why did you come here and stomp on my basket? I want you to lose money, one penny and one silver, and you are not allowed to rely on it. The man selling the basket rushed up at once, and tried to grab Su Jinyao's collar theory.

Su Jinyao was naturally not afraid of him, and with a flip of her hand, she pushed away the hand he had grabbed; With another grab, he grabbed his wrist and twisted it back. Although Su Jinyao is petite, she uses skill, and she violently breaks in the opposite direction against her arm, even a strong man may not be able to withstand it, let alone such a grocery seller.

So Su Jinyao twisted, and the man howled like a pig. But while howling, he also scolded: "You dead girl, where did you come to spread wild?" My Ma Liu is famous on this street, and my nephew's fourth aunt's cousin's third aunt is a relative of the township guard here, you let it go, otherwise you are good-looking. ”

Su Jinyao didn't want to pay attention to this person, and she didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him. But when he heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Then let me ask you, does the township guard know you?" Take up his name, and call him now to protect you. If you call him three times, I will spare you; If you call three times and no one answers, I will remove this arm of yours and let you learn to bark three more times. ”

"You! Where are you from, minx? Don't deceive people too much. Ma Liu threatened again, and at the same time twisted his body and arms desperately. In his opinion, he is a big man, are you still afraid of such a teenage girl?

Originally, Su Jinyao was shouting and selling baskets here, and not many people came to see; But once he started to move, plus these two moves, Ma Liu's arm was twisted and dislocated, and the people around him who were watching the excitement immediately surrounded him.
