In the middle of the night, the woman sneered, glanced at her, pulled Anzi aside, and the two whispered quietly.

Lin Tao was not in a hurry, and returned to the ox cart to sit and wait.

"Mother, how much is double?" Zhu came over and asked in a low voice.

Lin Tao shrugged: "I don't know either." ”

"Huh?" Zhu exclaimed, attracting the eyes of the two people not far away.

Zhu hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

Lin Tao smiled back at the uncle and sister-in-law.

What she said to Zhu Donghua was also the truth, he really didn't know what price the best charcoal sold for on weekdays.

But she didn't ask for more than double.

The truth that scarcity is expensive is the same everywhere you go.

In the last life, when I was asked to stay at home, wasn't the cabbage that cost dozens of dollars a tree also a hot item?

After a while, Anzi walked over.

"Auntie, can't you sell this charcoal at the previous price? Although my sister-in-law is a comprador of Wang Yuan's family, the price of the things she buys must be able to be explained. It's expensive, and I can't explain it to the owner. ”

Lin Taohong said with a red eye: "The hard-working big brother has led the way for the old woman." I can't afford less charcoal. ”

Then he asked with concern: "Big brother, hasn't your sister-in-law been to the official salt shop these days?" The old woman heard that because the shopkeeper felt that this year was a warm winter, he didn't prepare too much charcoal! Hurry up and let your sister-in-law take a look, buy more and prepare more, but you can't delay the use of the lords, grandmothers, and girls in the house. ”

After speaking, Lin Tao slowly propped herself up and got up, the difficulty of the action made Zhu Donghua exclaim: "Mother, what's wrong with your body?" ”

Helped up by the Zhu family, Lin Tao patted Zhu's hand and said, "People are old and useless." I've only walked from the village for one night to get here, and this foot is a little disobedient. It seems that we can only sell such a car this winter. ”

A hint of panic flashed across Yasuko's face and she ran towards his sister-in-law.

No one noticed that the corners of Lin Tao's mouth were slightly raised.

Zhu Donghua was even more worried about her body, so she was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Isn't it freezing at night? It was fine before I came out, why didn't I ...... overnight"

Lin Tao covered Zhu Donghua's mouth, and then asked her to continue, so she couldn't show her stuffing?

Zhu Donghua, who was staring, shook his head, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "I'm fine, don't talk nonsense." ”

Seeing Zhu Donghua nodding, Lin Tao let go of his hand.

Sure enough, as soon as she let go, the woman came over and said that she wanted to check basket by basket.

Lin Tao didn't keep silent, and let the person she called slowly look through the basket.

About a quarter of an hour, the mother-in-law who had opened the door in the courtyard rushed over, and after the two bit their ears for a while, the doorkeeper left.

"Stuff isn't very good. Isn't it more expensive to double the price? The woman said coquettishly.

Lin Tao knew very well in his heart, when he usually said this kind of thing, the subtext was that either you lower the price, or give the handler some benefits.

Anzi was also helping her sister-in-law talk.

Squeezing out an embarrassed expression, Lin Tao politely refused, shouting for Zhu's bull cart to leave.

The ox cart moved forward slowly, and Zhu whispered, "Mother, let's just go?" It's hard to see the comprador mother-in-law! If you go to the next one, you may not be able to see it. ”

"Panic! Within thirty paces, she was sure to call us. ”

Zhu stared at a pair of small eyes, that is, she had been with Zhu for a long time, so she could tell whether she was staring or not.

After all, if a line is held up again, it is not still a line of sky.

"Thirty steps?"

As soon as Zhu's voice came out, Anzi's shout sounded behind him.

Lin Tao grinned, turned to An Zi and said, "Big brother don't worry about it, don't send us." ”

Anzi looked embarrassed: "Auntie, I didn't want to send you, I asked you to come back, and my sister-in-law asked for charcoal." ”

The doubt on Zhu's face instantly turned into horror.

She and the old lady came to town the most, and every time the old lady said and did something, it was as if the old lady had arranged it.

There have never been accidents!

"Old man, what are you doing! Hurry up and let the sister-in-law pick the charcoal, and then you can move the selected ones into the yard. ”

Zhu, who came back to his senses, pulled the ox cart and returned to the small door.

The woman took four baskets of charcoal.

Originally, this kind of bamboo basket, if you hold grain, a basket is about 60 catties.

But charcoal is a kind of goods, large in size and small in weight.

A basket is only thirty pounds.

The strong Zhu family, one basket in one hand, and the two baskets were easily carried to the courtyard.

The doorkeeper at the door was shocked and screamed for the first time to see a woman with such strength.

The woman took the money bag from her waist and muttered in pieces.

"Ten catties and a tael of silver, and you want twice as much as two taels. Two baskets of sixty pounds, twelve taels. ”

So twelve horns of silver fell into Lin Tao's hands.

Although the woman's face was not good-looking, Lin Tao still thanked her with grace.

Zhu, who came back from delivering charcoal, took care of the ox cart and left with her.

Out of the alley, Zhu asked, "Mother, where are we going next?" ”

"Don't go anywhere, park the car here, we'll wait here." Lin Tao rubbed his hands.

"Huh?" Zhu exclaimed again.

Lin Tao wrung her eyebrows angrily and asked, "Zhu Donghua, are you the fourth old?" What are you doing in a panic? ”

Zhu lowered his head embarrassedly.

After a while, Anzi came out of the alley.

Lin Tao stopped the person, and without saying a word, he directly stuffed a corner of silver into the hand of An Zi, who had not yet reacted.

"Big brother, thank you so much. The old woman's heart, you don't have to be too little. ”

Anzi, who came back to his senses, grinned uncontrollably at the corners of his mouth.

"Where, where. Auntie, this is too polite. ”

You must know that he used to recommend sellers to his sister-in-law, but everyone only gave his sister-in-law benefits, and he didn't catch a hair.

So much so that the whole family, my father and brother, have to look at my sister-in-law's face.

Even his little servant, it was his brother who made his sister-in-law happy, and his sister-in-law donated the money.

It's a pity that even if he enters the county office, he is the last. There's nothing oil or water to speak of.

This is the first time this is the case!

Lin Tao said with a smile: "If you don't give the old woman a few kind words, that sister-in-law is afraid that she won't be able to look down on us these things." Thank you for your great work, big brother. ”

"No, it's not hard, it's not hard." Anzi waved her hand again and again with joy.

After a few words of greeting, Lin Tao asked: "The old woman rarely comes to the town, she is not familiar with the town, the eldest brother shows me the way, which other old man can go to here?" ”

"Ahem! What did the aunt say, this money can't be taken for nothing. I'll take you to two more places. ”

"Oops! That's hard work big brother. ”

Anzi took the corner silver into her arms and walked in front of her with her head held high, leading the way.

Zhu Donghua turned her head to look at the old lady beside her from time to time.

Mother...... Good, awesome!

Not only is it a great beating, but it seems to be even more powerful when it comes to trading!
