Chapter 58: Buying Beans
Because of An Zirui's matter, although Tian Tian bowed his head first, it still made the Li family unhappy, the mother-in-law and grandson barely spoke, and walked directly to the street where the farmers sold miscellaneous grains.
Don't talk about mung beans and soybeans, hehe~~~ and red beans!
Of course, Tian Tian actually likes mung beans and soybeans, after all, in the case of bean sprouts, these two are the most common, but you still have to ask the price to know, as for this bargaining, Tian Tian thinks that she is not clear about the current prices in Rui, bargaining, she decided to stay away and hand it over to the Li family.
Li Shi finished reading the small stalls selling beans on the whole street, compared the quality and price of beans, and finally chose to stand between two stalls with less quantity and good quality.
"May I ask how you sell these beans?"
"Ten cents a bowl."
Tian Tian glanced at her bowl, which was smaller than the bowl she usually ate, but because she didn't know what the value of ten cents was in this era, it was not easy to speak, and Li was frowning, Tian Tian saw it, probably thinking it was a little expensive.
So, Li turned his head to look at the silent old woman on the side and asked, "Eldest sister, how do you sell your beans?" ”
"Ten Wen."
"The price is the same, so let's do it, I don't see that you have a lot of beans, why don't you discuss it and see if you can sell it to me cheaper together, I want it."
Tian Tian was a little surprised, she looked at the beans of these two families, not ten catties but fifteen catties, and they asked for all the milk?
Didn't you say before that you should try it and see if you can get through this way? Why is it so generous now?
Looking at Li's unchanging appearance, Tian Tian was not a little shocked that it was impossible, she suddenly felt that she didn't know anything about her grandmother, she was completely unfamiliar, because she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, did she see that the sales of bean sprouts were actually profitable? That's why you agree to come to the town to purchase, and you will also take the opportunity to deliberately bargain in front of the seller who doesn't have many beans?
And when Tian Tian secretly analyzed Li's mentality, the two bean sellers glanced at each other, but no one spoke, Li saw this and said: "If there is no way to reduce it, I will go to other houses to buy more beans, and their price is also ten yuan, but I buy more should be cheaper, I see that you don't have many beans, I want to say that you will go home after your business is sold, if you think there is no less, then I will go to the young man to buy it, just now he said that there are many discounts for buying." ”
Tian Tian's heart shook slightly, and she had another opinion of the Li family, she did stop at the young man not far in front of her just now, but she turned her back to this side, but she didn't bargain, she just looked at the beans and asked about the price.
Although I can't tell if the woman and the woman saw the scene of her talking to the young man, but when she says it now, she must also want to try her luck.
After that, Li Shi turned around, but the woman was the first to lose her breath, she glanced at the old woman next to her and said, "Auntie, why don't we discuss it?" ”
Tian Tian smiled, there was still no change on Li's face, and Mu Qinghan was still standing aside with his underwhelming face, Tian Tian took the time to throw him a grimace, Mu Qinghan pulled the corner of his lips at her, Tian Tian felt bored, so he turned his attention back to this side.
"In this way, we will give it to you, a bowl of nine words."
"Bawen!"
"That's not going to work, we don't have to make any money."
Li smiled, bent over and grabbed a handful of beans and said: "You are home-grown, if you can sell it cheaply, sell it to me, maybe there will be cooperation in the future, you can also plant more, I will probably harvest beans for a long time." ”
Generally speaking, when buying something and talking to the person who sells it, a few people will believe it, saying that it is a repeat customer, it is just a nice word, in order to win a lower price, however, Tian Tian had to say it at a glance, and the woman in front of him seemed to believe it, probably because he saw that the Li family bought so much at one time, and asked with some emotion: "I don't know what the aunt wants so many beans for?" ”
"Well, it's impossible to buy so much for food, and as for what to do with it, I really can't say."
"You don't say, how do I know if what you said about a long-term acquisition is true or not?"
"My final bid is Bawen, you can sell it if you can, and I can't help it if I can't sell it."
Li Shi no longer made any explanation, directly finalized the price, the other party can accept it, buy it, if it can't accept it, then find another one to talk about it, anyway, the business is all told, she is not afraid that she can't buy things with money, the woman is a little embarrassed, looked at the beans in her basket, and seemed to feel a little uneconomical.
But the old woman, who has never expressed her position, opened her mouth this time: "I sell Bawen, anyway, there are only eight bowls of beans in total, and the bowl that is earned less will be regarded as a bad harvest." ”
When the woman saw that the old woman had sold, she no longer insisted on it, and poured all the beans into the coarse cloth bag prepared by the Li family in advance, a total of twelve bowls and a little more.
Tian Tian followed behind the Li family, and found that Mu Qinghan did not follow, she looked back, and just heard the woman ask the old woman: "Auntie, the eight cents are actually really a loss, why did you sell it?" On weekdays, you can't bear to sell your good beans so cheaply. ”
"Alas, the old man in the family is sick, I have to use the money to buy medicine, I don't worry about him being home alone!"
"Ouch, that auntie, you have to go home and take a look, I'll help you clean up."
"Thank you......"
Listening to this conversation in Tian Tian's ears, she was a little unbearable, but this world of the weak and the strong is like this, if the milk doesn't bargain with them, then it won't be able to save more than a dozen dollars, for a family like them, a dozen dollars, a lot.
Tian Tian was about to turn around, when he saw Mu Qinghan finally take a step forward and walked towards him, but when he passed by the old woman, he stopped, took out a string of copper plates from his sleeves, about ten or twenty, and handed it to the old woman: "There is twenty yuan here, just let us buy beans for ten yuan, mother-in-law, you hurry home to take care of the patient, don't delay." ”
After speaking, Mu Qinghan let go, turned around and strode towards Tian Tian, Tian Tian was still stunned, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes and said, "Don't leave yet?" Wait a minute, it's time for the mother-in-law to catch up and pay back the money. ”
"Huh?"
Tian Tian was pulled around by Mu Qinghan like this, taking some wooden steps, and there seemed to be someone shouting behind him: "This money...... I can't ask for ......."
The two of them caught up with the Li family after three times and five divided by two, and the Li family naturally didn't notice what Mu Qinghan did, but Tian Tian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, that feeling was as if he and his grandmother had become exploiters, and Mu Qinghan had become the Lei Feng.
"Grandma Tian, can you help me go in and choose embroidery thread? My grandmother said that she was going to embroider a pair of peony flower pillows and some embroidered handkerchiefs. ”
"This ...... I don't know what to choose, and I don't know what kind of thread your grandmother needs! ”
"I have it here, and she asked me to buy it, but I don't know anything about needlework at all, so I have to trouble Grandma Tian to help me if it's a good thing."
When Li heard this, it was a lot easier, this was buying something for Mu Qinghan's grandmother, she really couldn't know how good the silk thread to buy, and now that there was a sample for her to buy, it would naturally not be a problem.
When Mu Qinghan took out the small cloth bag, Li took it over and took the two of them into the embroidery workshop.
There were a few people standing on the edge of the platform of the embroidery workshop's cloth selection and line selection, all of them were some women and young ladies who were dressed more brightly, Li Shi carried the more than ten catties of beans, and turned around and told Tian Tian: "There are many people here, don't run around with me, Young Master Mu, help me watch Tian Tian." ”
Tian Tian grinded his teeth, and couldn't help but secretly slander himself: What is it, if I am a child, I will get lost? Besides, this is not a crossroads of prosperity, it is just a shop, where can I get lost?
"Your grandmother is worried that you will be squeezed into the crowd, and we will be separated by then."
“……”
Tian Tian wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any words, although he was mentally an adult, but this small body really couldn't withstand the destruction!
"Boss, please give me this, and this, and this silk ......"
Li waited for the women to choose the cloth, and then opened their mouths to talk to the shopkeeper, who expected the shopkeeper to have no time to answer, the woman next to Li Shi looked at Li first, and saw that she was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and her head was only made of coarse cloth satin into a woman's hairstyle, not even a basic hair ornament, and the hand pointing to the sample was still so rough, and immediately laughed a few times in a weird way: "Hehehe...... You said that the sun really came out in the west this year, and anyone can enter this splendid workshop! ”
There was a person who started the way, and the woman who was with her was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately joined the taunting team, and as soon as the sharp voice came out, Tian Tian immediately frowned.
"Isn't it? You say that even if this king is wearing a turtle shell, isn't it still a king eight? ”
Tian Tian's whole person was angry, and she wanted to rush up, but how could she rush up with her small body? What's more, the Li family said hello early, and asked Mu Qinghan to look at her, Mu Qinghan was in front of her at the moment, so she could only grit her teeth and stand in place, staring at the few women who scolded people without dirty words.
From the time Li entered this splendid workshop, he saw the disdain in the eyes of those women, otherwise he would not have let Mu Qinghan stop Tian Tian, and she still maintained her original look at the moment, and nodded at the counter with her rough hand and said, "Boss? Could it be that you are also like those people who look like people and wear people, and you still sell things and score people? ”
