346 Beggar Man
Rong Zhao didn't go to the store, just walked around the street stalls, and now she found that the street stalls were much more interesting than the shops, and they were several times cheaper.
She stood in front of a stall with all kinds of walnuts, large and small, round and flat, with all kinds of patterns.
"Madame, you have a great eye, and you are holding this pair of walnuts which is the best of all my walnuts. Look at the lines on it, it's clear and deep, and then look at the color, how bright it is. This thing also has a scientific name, called a stuffy lion's head. "The stall was set up by an old man, with his hair combed and meticulously attached to his scalp. The complexion is quite pale, and it looks a little pedantic.
Speaking of his things, it is a gushing thing, "Generally, there are few trees that can form fine products, and most of them are either flat, flat, or crooked, and the left and right are asymmetrical." But look at the two in your hand, symmetrical left and right, with a pointed head and a round belly, but they are the best products. ”
Rong Zhao threw the walnuts into the air, the stall owner's eyes were staring, and his heart was also pulling, as if following Rong Zhao's throw, this heart also flickered up and down.
"Yes, yes. Rong Zhao was upside down, honest, and she asked, "How much?"
learned to bargain, Rong Zhao is a new thing.
The stall owner smiled, looked at Rong Zhao's dress, and then glanced at the maids who were surrounding her, and posed a finger, "One price, one hundred taels." ”
"One hundred taels? This broken thing is worth one hundred taels?" Qiushui almost stared out her eyeballs when she heard the price, and after doing the math, her monthly dedication was only twenty taels, and this walnut seller actually asked for a hundred taels all over the sky, if it was really so valuable, what else did she do, and she went to pick walnuts.
The corner of the stall owner's mouth pursed, and said: "This girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, my things are all treasures, do you know what the real thing is? ”
Qiushui sneered and said, "What's so strange, you just give me the tree, and I don't want it." "I took one at the stall casually, "Buy this thing for one hundred taels, it's better to buy a vase and go back, not only to enjoy the decorations, but also to arrange flowers." It's not much stronger than that, and you can't eat it. ”
The stall owner hurriedly snatched the walnuts back from Qiushui's hands, wiped them with his sleeves, and muttered: "A maid is a maid, and I don't have any knowledge at all." ”
The autumn water was hot, pointed to the stall owner's nose, and then stopped Rong Zhao, "Miss, let's go, don't buy anything with him, he just sees that Miss is rich, so the sky is asking for a price, let's go elsewhere." ”
Rong Zhao really liked these two walnuts, the walnuts were the size of a baby's fist, and her father used to like to hold two walnuts of this size in one hand. Thinking of the letter from my father a few days ago, saying that I would come to see her next month, I wanted to buy something in advance to honor him.
But she has been to the bazaar a few times and knows how to buy and sell. So he pretended not to care and was about to leave. Before leaving, he didn't forget to sarcastically mock the stall owner, "Mrs. Ben grew up in the rich nest, what good things have you never seen? You want me a hundred taels for a walnut, it's too black-hearted." Don't say it's just this ordinary goods, but I have more than this good lady than you have on this stall, and it's rare for you to be an ordinary product. Let's go, let's go to another house. ”
As soon as he took a few steps, the stall owner hurriedly stopped, "Wait, madam, wait, let's discuss again." Buying and selling is not a final word. ”
Qiushui glanced at him and said, "You just said a fixed price, this time it's not a one-shot deal?"
The smile on the stall owner's face stiffened, "Girl, look at what you said." Qiushui was a little embarrassed to say, "Madam, you are extravagant, you are a big family at first glance, and you have opened your eyes to any good things." In this way, I am not vain, you can make a price and see how much you can give. ”
Rong Zhao has a little understanding of iron walnuts, and from the perspective of color and shape, they should belong to the top grade. She didn't put the price to the minimum, no matter what, people still have to make money.
"Forty taels. Rong Zhao set a price.
Yuanyu taught her that when she bought something in Yizhou, she had to cut half of it, and then cut it in half. This is the trick of counter-offering, generally the things bought and sold are cut in half, but if you directly say half the price, then the merchant will raise the counter-offer a little. If you want to buy it at half the price, you have to lower it a little lower, and after the other party makes a counteroffer, it is almost the price you want.
Mandarin language is the girl in Rong Zhaoxiang, a ghost elf, and Qiushui have the same temperament.
Sure enough, the stall owner had a bitter face, "Madam, you are too ruthless, you will kill me at sixty percent of the price." Can you give it a little higher?"
The stall owner is also in a hurry to get rid of it, this pair of stuffy lion heads is indeed a good thing, but those who buy good things go to the shop to buy, and the one who comes to him to buy it is too expensive, and it has been several months, and this pair is stunned and has not been able to do it.
finally came to a visitor, and I thought about making a lot of money, but I didn't expect that the rich man was the most picky, and his profits were almost wiped out at once. However, if he didn't make a move this time, he was afraid of smashing his hands, but he bought it for a lot of twenty taels.
Rong Zhao was secretly happy in his heart, sure enough, this trick worked, just wanted to say add ten taels, Yuanyu squeezed to her side and slapped the stall, "Our lady said that forty taels is forty taels, don't bargain, just earn a little, be careful that greed becomes poor, and your two walnuts become rotten wood." ”
Rong Zhao looked at her, didn't she say that cutting half of the walnuts in half was a chance to make a counteroffer, why didn't she let people make a counteroffer? She was in the middle of this pair of walnuts, no matter how much it cost, even if it was a hundred taels.
Mandarin Yu's smart eyes winked at her mischievously, helping Rong Zhao to leave.
"Hey, don't go, don't go. As soon as he saw that he was leaving, the stall owner was in a hurry.
Mandarin Yu raised his eyebrows, "Boss, forty taels is a lot, if you see it, you can accept it, and you can prosper in business." ”
The stall owner sighed helplessly, and found a cloth bag to pack the walnuts, "Forty taels is forty taels, I see that this lady is full of nobility, and she is pregnant, and she sold it at a loss, so she has the right to touch your luxury and add it to Caitou." ”
Yuanyu took the cloth bag, "Boss, you don't lose money, if it wasn't for our wife to buy it, you wouldn't have smashed it in your own hands." She picked up two more small ones from the stall, "You see, we have done you such a great favor, and it is not an exaggeration to give us two." ”
The stall owners all laughed, looking at the mandarin language, the little girl is only fifteen or sixteen, why is this mouth so powerful. If you lose business, you have to say thank you to her, and then you have to take two.
Forty taels is not a lot, and the stall owner himself understands that the asking price of one hundred taels is to watch people wear well. Originally, he was afraid of smashing his hands, and he could sell as much as he wanted, but now he can still earn twenty taels, and he doesn't care about those two little walnuts.
"Okay, I'll open Tujili and give it to you. "In business, the most important thing is to be harmonious, and to make money with harmony.
Yuanyu smiled and said to Rong Zhao: "Master, these two walnuts-"
"Didn't the stall owner say it, I'll give it to you. "It's not unreasonable for Rong Zhao to like this little girl, she is sharp-toothed, clever and smart, and she has a lot of energy to attract people.
"Stinky begging for food, go aside, don't stand in front of my door to stop me from doing business. As soon as I paid the money, there was a curse from the bun shop next to me.
Rong Zhao turned his face and saw a beggar in tattered clothes who had been kicked by a man and stumbled in the middle of the street. Her eyebrows furrowed fiercely, remembering that she had also been humiliated in front of the bun shop.
The beggar quickly got up and looked up into Rong Zhao's eyes, but in an instant, he dodged away. Rong Zhao's eyes sank, why did he feel like he was hiding from her?
Mandarin Yu was clever and attached to Rong Zhao's ear, "He has been following us just now, all the way." ”
Rong Zhao squinted and looked at the beggar, and he raised his eyes again. It was a pair of eyes full of affection and forbearance. But not to look at her, but—
At the end of that invisible and burning gaze, it was Mo Yu.
It's just that Mo Yu didn't seem to know her, first she didn't care, then she was dazed, and in the end, when everyone looked at her and showed an ambiguous look, she became annoyed and angry, and hid behind the crowd.
Rong Zhao curled the corners of his mouth, daring to love that even beggars are full of lust these years.
She whispered to the lonely bird, who went to the beggar, said a word, and brought him over.
The beggar was timid, hanging his head and his chin to his chest.
Seeing that he was dirty, Rong Zhao took a few steps back, took a handkerchief and waved it in front of the tip of his nose, "You followed us all the way, what do you want to do?" glanced at Mo Yu, "Isn't it that you are a toad who wants to eat swan meat?"
Rong Zhao came out, big and small, more than a dozen maids held the moon, and everyone laughed, coaxing his dark face to ooze red.
Someone pushed Mo Yu forward, "It can't be that you like us Mo Yu, right?" Little beggar, your eyes are really poisonous, Mo Yu is good-looking and has a good temperament, but he is the most top-notch of our sisters and is deeply loved by our wife. ”
The beggar looked up at Mo Yu, Mo Yu only turned his back to him, his eyes showed sadness, and he drooped his head again.
Rong Zhao looked at the beggar, asked so many words, and didn't say a word, is he also a dumb person?
She doesn't want to be entangled, she just calls for fun. Let the lonely eagle reward him with a few copper plates, and said: "Don't follow anymore, today's lady, I have a good heart, and I will reward you with a few copper plates to buy steamed buns to eat." ”
Before the words fell, the beggar stared at Mo Yu and asked, "Are you Yinglian, do you remember me, I am Brother Junbao." ”
He directly ignored Rong Zhao and didn't take the money from the lonely bird.
Rong Zhao asked Mo Yu, "Do you know him?"
Mo Yu shook his head vigorously, and the beggar saw her shaking his head, stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Yinglian, how can you disown me, I ended up here and became a beggar for you." I heard that you sold yourself to bury your father and entered the prince's mansion, and you blocked the gate of the Chu Wang's mansion every day, waiting for you. I finally met you today, how can you say that you don't know me? Yinglian, you speak, you say you know me. ”
