78. Am I a sheep?
The two walked forward a foot away, and the vendor caught up, "Little brother, don't go, isn't everything easy to discuss." [As he spoke, he looked around, and pretended to come to pull Ah Ping, but Ah Ping took a step back and let go. The vendor was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "The price is negotiable, let's go back to the stall first." ”
I paid it back directly at a fixed price: "Sanwen, if the boss sees it, we will make this business, if it doesn't work, the business is not in favor." "Seeing that the vendor was a little dumbfounded, I secretly laughed, I believe in this way of bargaining, cutting off half of his original price and then breaking his waist, it's not really to admit death and insist on this price, and it is also negotiable to increase it a little.
The vendor understood that I, who seemed to be silent before, was actually the one in charge, so he didn't tell Ah Ping, and said directly to me: "Little lady, you see that I am also a small business, and the money is too little, give me some more." ”
As soon as I heard it, I knew that there was a turning point, so I said in embarrassment: "But we didn't bring that much money with us on this trip, and we want to buy something else." The vendor stomped his foot, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll sell it to you for three cents." ”
My eyes lit up, and I couldn't stop rejoicing, no matter whether the jade was good or not, but the three dollars were still worth it. Ah Ping carried me back to the stall, and saw that the vendor took a small cloth bag and packed the jade hairpin very painfully, and then Ah Ping also took out three cents from his waist bag and paid it. As we were leaving, we heard the vendor say over there: "The first business is a big loss, and the little brother and the little lady will patronize my small business more next time." ”
At this time, I also came down and walked forward with Ah Ping happily. After walking a little way, Ah Ping came to me and asked, "Daughter-in-law, how do you know that the vendor will come after us?" ”
I was stunned when I heard it, not because of the problem, but because of his "daughter-in-law".
Unable to wait for my response, Ah Ping shouted suspiciously: "Daughter-in-law? It seems that the second time I heard it, it felt much more pleasant to the ear, and it felt more intimate than him just calling the word "Lan".
I leaned into his ear and said triumphantly, "Counter-offer is a technique and requires strategy." ”
His eyes curled, "Then you tell me about it." ”
"The average vendor sees a lot of customers coming and going, and their eyes are very sharp, and they can almost tell at a glance whether the other party is a new hand or not, and what price they can accept. Then make a false opening at this price, and if you meet someone who really doesn't understand and is rich, then you will be regarded as a wronged person and a sheep will be slaughtered. ”
"Am I a sheep?"
Not wanting to hit his self-confidence, he touched his head and said, "You can't be considered a sheep, no, let's not be slaughtered by that profiteer." After listening to my words, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
I shone the jade hairpin in the sun for a long time, and I didn't see anything famous, and the methods I heard before to identify the jade quality seem to be fooling. But I'm still happy to get this jade hairpin, not because I spent three dollars to buy it, but because this is the first time Ah Ping has given me a gift. Suddenly, his heart moved, he turned his head and stared at his side face for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Ping, why do you want to buy this jade hairpin so much?" ”
He replied, "Because you look good in it." ”
"Not because of anything else?"
Appleton paused and turned his eyes slightly, "The hairpin he gave you is broken." ”
In the blink of an eye, although he said something that didn't match the words, I just understood. It was only just now that he realized why he was entangled in a jade hairpin, because that day Ah Niu said in front of him that he had given me a wooden hairpin as a love token, and the wooden hairpin was broken on the first night of the wedding because of pulling with his mother-in-law and Xi Po.
It's just that at this moment, I can't be sure whether Ah Ping wants to make amends, or because he is jealous of Ah Niu.
I couldn't have asked that, he turned his head when he saw that I was silent, and when I saw him walking towards the store, I subconsciously raised my head, and then the corners of my eyes twitched. I just bought a jade hairpin and couldn't get him to divert his attention, and I really ran to the cloth store.
I struggled to see the traditional characters on the sign, and I could see the various colors of cloth hanging on the door. After a stick of incense passed, I was seated in a chair, watching the boss over there and introducing each piece of cloth to Ah Ping, and Ah Ping didn't listen at all, just looked at it and touched it, as if he could still identify the texture of the cloth.
In the end, I saw that he picked two pieces of cloth, both dark in color, and I did not dare to agree with his eyes. How can there be a young man under the age of twenty who is dressed so old, even if he has a good foundation and is handsome, he is not as light as the light-colored clothes at home.
But now this kid wants to buy cloth so hard that he can't listen to what I say. They didn't look at me until they had settled on the two pieces of cloth, and seemed to have forgotten me in the corner.
Instead, I heard him ask, "Is there anything ready-made?" ”
The owner of the cloth shop said with a smile: "Little brother, we are a cloth specialist, you have to go to the clothing store if you want ready-to-wear." ”
"Where?"
"It's not far away, just walk to the end of this street and turn left."
Ah Ping didn't take out his pocket to pay for the two pieces of cloth, and then strode towards me. It turned out that he hadn't forgotten me, but his mind was still turning to something else, and seeing that he had just paid without frowning and not paying back, I could only sigh. All the cases I fought before were in vain, and this kid had a bulging pocket, and he didn't have the consciousness of bargaining at all.
After carrying me, the question arises, how do I get the two pieces of cloth? Even the owner of the cloth shop was very embarrassed, look at me and look at Ah Ping, the two of them have no hands to hold. I saw that Ah Ping only knew how to frown, so I had to open my mouth to find a way for him: "Boss, do you have any corner fabric?" The boss was stunned: "These are naturally available." ”
"Then please make the two pieces of cloth into a burden, let me carry it."
Soon, the cloth was simply bandaged with a piece of green cloth, and the boss was about to hand it to me, but was intercepted by Ah Ping: "I'll take it." ”
I said angrily: "How can you still hold it on your back?" ”
"Tie them to my back."
I didn't resist Ah Ping, and when I finally walked out of the cloth shop, two pieces of cloth were tied side by side on his back, and then I was asked to lie on his back. I repeatedly asked if it would be too heavy, and knowing that the weight of the two pieces of cloth was not light, he replied to me: "Not heavy." ”
Following the tips of the cloth shop owner, we found a ready-to-wear store. Suddenly, my heart moved, I should have gone straight here earlier, and if I bought him two sets of clothes, wouldn't I not have to go back to tailoring? Immediately, I was energetic, and after entering the store, I was more active than before.
This ready-to-wear store has both men's and women's clothes, and they are not deliberately separated, but are mixed and hung on the wall, which can be regarded as a dazzling variety.
"Take that one down." When I heard Ah Ping's voice, I turned my head curiously to see which one he had come to my eye, only to find that the shopkeeper had picked out a piece of women's clothing with a bamboo pole, which attracted my attention almost instantly.
It was a white gauze skirt, and small flowers were embroidered with gold thread on the hem of the Luo skirt, and then I heard Ah Ping asking, "What kind of flowers are embroidered on this?" ”
The boss replied with a smile: "Guest officer, this is an orchid." ”
My heart jumped, and sure enough, I saw Ah Ping and said directly: "I want this." ”
I hurriedly put it in his ear and said, "Silly, who knows if you can wear it, what if it's the wrong size?" He listened to it too, and then asked the shopkeeper, "Is there a place to try them on?" ”
The shopkeeper probably didn't expect such a request, so he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded back to his senses: "Yes, yes, you can go to the back room to change." So Ah Ping took the garment and carried me towards the door of the back room.
The back room should be a place for the store to cut cloth and clothes, a long table, some rags, and the space is not narrow. Ah Ping sat me down on the edge of the table and pulled my belt, I grabbed his hand and asked, "Do you really want to change?" ”
He nodded.
Looking down and looking at the Luo skirt in his hand carefully, he couldn't resist the bursts of heartbeat, and couldn't help nodding. I wear a green cloth shirt, which is the one I wear most often, and I feel that the fabric is not thick, and it is not so hot to wear, and it is also very convenient. After changing into this white gauze skirt, I looked left and right and saw no floor-to-ceiling bronze mirrors, so I had to ask Ah Ping: "Is it good-looking?" ”
He didn't say anything, just stared at me with burning eyes, and after a long time, he felt awkward, "Eh, what about you?" What are you thinking about wandering your mind? Ah Ping stepped forward and grabbed my hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, you are so beautiful." ”
This kid is sweet-mouthed, knowing that what women like most when trying on new clothes is praise from others, I didn't show much on my face at this time, but in fact, my heart was full of joy. My skin is not so white, does it look good in white?
In fact, whether it looks good or not can be distinguished from the look in the eyes of the shopkeeper when I was carried out of the back room by Ah Ping. I only heard the boss praise in amazement: "If it is really a person who needs clothes to be able to stand up to the shelf, if it weren't for the little sister-in-law or let the little brother carry it, it would be difficult for me to tell that the girl is the little sister-in-law for a while." The little brother is really blessed to marry such a bright and moving daughter-in-law, and he looks so gentle. ”
Originally, I listened to the praise of my vanity, which was really rising, but when I heard it, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, these vendors are all talking about people, talking nonsense, and they are all thieves and thieves. I barely spoke, and Ah Ping and I had only been in this store for less than half an hour, and the other party could actually see that I was a gentle person......
