022: Discover an opportunity
"Auntie, it's him asking the price, not me."
Chang Xi pushed Zhang Yingda to the front.
The woman selling vegetables looked at the half-grown boy in front of her, and suddenly looked disappointed, such a half-old child knows what to buy? Suddenly he didn't want to deal with it, if he hadn't had any scruples, he would have scolded people a long time ago.
Chang Xi was not annoyed, but stepped aside to watch Zhang Yingda play.
The road has been set up for him, just see if he will go on the road?
Zhang Yingda looked back at Chang Xi who was holding his hands crossed, knowing that this was a test and an opportunity for her to give herself, only by fighting would she take a fancy to her, thinking in his heart, he did not hesitate, but looked at the woman selling vegetables, "Auntie, I sincerely want to buy." ”
"Two copper plates." The woman who sold vegetables lifted her eyelids and looked at it, but she didn't even want to say more.
Zhang Yingda was about to take out two copper plates to buy these cucumbers and eggplants, but for some reason, he thought of Chang Xi's previous behavior of inviting people to eat sugar gourds, as long as there was a little favor, he could buy people's hearts, and he wanted the woman who sold vegetables to answer his questions enthusiastically, so he had to give people a little benefit.
So, he smiled and said, "Auntie, I'll give you three copper plates." ”
As soon as she heard the three copper plates, the woman selling vegetables immediately looked at Zhang Yingda with wide eyes, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Hou Shengzi, are you serious?" ”
"Of course it's true." Zhang Yingda took out three copper plates and showed them to the woman.
The woman selling vegetables eagerly reached out to get it, but Zhang Yingda's hand quickly moved away, so that the woman could not reach it.
"Are you playing with my mother?"
Seeing this woman shouting angrily, attracting several people around who were also selling vegetables, Zhang Yingda didn't care about being ashamed, and secretly looked back at Chang Xi, who was expressionless, this time he didn't hesitate to expose his true nature and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'll give you this money, but I have some questions, and I want Auntie to give an answer." ”
When the vegetable seller heard this, the eagerness on her face faded, and she asked with a kind face, "What do you want to ask?" Auntie must tell you everything she knows. ”
"Auntie, did you bring this dish from the village?"
The woman who sold the vegetables thought that Zhang Yingda suspected that her vegetables were not fresh, and said busily, "Hou Shengzi, don't look at this dish now, this is what I picked before dawn, and it took more than two hours to sell it in the city, but I was unlucky today, and I didn't sell it until this hour, don't look at it, it's a little bad, but it's fresh......"
Zhang Yingda hurriedly comforted the woman for a while, and then continued to ask, "Auntie, are you still here to sell vegetables tomorrow?" ”
"Ming'er won't come." The woman who sold vegetables shook her head and said, "There is still farm work to be done at home, and I can't spend a whole day here, alas, it will be dark when I go back later, and it will not be easy to make some money.......
Zhang Yingda saw the dish handed over, and reached out to take it, this is food.
Anyone who had been hungry knew that food was the most precious thing, and he cheerfully handed the woman three copper plates.
The woman who sold the vegetables took three copper plates, immediately got up and picked up the empty basket to say hello, and left without a single turn, as if she was really eager to go back.
When the surrounding vegetable sellers saw this scene, they hurriedly stopped Zhang Yingda and wanted him to buy their vegetables, obviously they thought that Zhang Yingda was stupid and easy to deceive.
When Zhang Yingda got rid of the entanglement of this group of people and looked for Chang Xi, he saw that Chang Xi had already walked to the tea shop not far away, and was watching people sell tea, he didn't care about complaining, and hurriedly followed.
Chang Xi saw that Zhang Yingda had almost asked, and knew that he would definitely be entangled by other vegetable sellers, so he retreated first without righteousness, leaving him there to deal with it by himself.
Who knows, as soon as she turned her head, she saw the shopkeeper of the tea shop talking with a foreigner talking about business, yes, it was the kind of foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes, it seemed that this era was much more open and prosperous than she imagined, no wonder she saw a lot of imported products in the store along the way.
The foreigner spoke English she was familiar with, with a slight difference in pronunciation, but that didn't prevent her from understanding what he was saying.
"No, no, no, dear Shen, this tea is too much of a space, and my boat still has to make room for porcelain and cloth, so I can only ask for so many ...... this time," the foreigner said gesturing as he spoke.
The shopkeeper surnamed Shen didn't understand the words of the foreigner, but he finally understood the gestures he gestured, and the translator next to him didn't come in handy, and suddenly, his face was slightly disappointed, "So little?" ”
The foreigner spread his hands and said with a regretful face, "No way, my ship can only hold so much tea, I also regret it, dear Shen, you know, this tea, porcelain and cloth are all bestsellers in our British country, and I will be heartbroken if I give up any of them......"
Looking at the exaggerated Xizi of the foreigners, the shopkeeper surnamed Shen couldn't laugh, and the tea leaves of their Mingxiang Tea House this year seemed to be unsalable, and they didn't know how to explain to the owner when the time came.
Thinking of this, he gave the interpreter on the side a look and asked him to help him say a few words.
The translator also shook his head helplessly, he really couldn't help it, this foreign devil didn't want more, what could he do?
"Can I see the tea you're trading?" Chang Xi stepped forward and said softly.
The two people who were talking about the transaction saw that a young woman suddenly interjected, and immediately turned their heads to look over, and what they saw was a beautiful woman, and the foreigner's eyes raised a touch of interest, but the shopkeeper surnamed Shen frowned and drove people directly, "This lady is also invited to go elsewhere, don't hinder our business talks......
The foreigner smiled and said, "This young lady wants to see the tea we traded?" No problem, that's it. He directly picked up the sample that was on the side and handed it to Chang Xi, and then said with a smile, "Dear Shen, it is very rude to refuse the request of a beautiful lady." ”
Chang Xi was a little interested in this foreigner who spoke broken Chinese, but she couldn't show too much of the Xie family's subordinates behind her, so after taking the tea handed by the other party, she smiled and thanked her.
The shopkeeper surnamed Shen had a sinking face, if it weren't for the fact that the partner was still here, he would have driven people away.
Chang Xicai didn't care what the shopkeeper's expression was, but looked at the tea sample in her hand carefully, and recognized it as Pu'er tea at a glance, she was about to look more carefully, and the tea sample in her hand was taken away.
The shopkeeper surnamed Shen said unhappily, "This is not something you can see, if you still want to make trouble here, don't blame me for giving you a look......
"Dear Shen, don't be like this, you're too rude like this......" the foreigner hurriedly persuaded.
"James, the amount you want has been moved, I'll let people load the car." The shopkeeper surnamed Shen doesn't want to talk about it anymore, anyway, this foreign devil won't ask for more, so why waste his lips and tongues?
Chang Xi was not angry, she did something reckless, so she said to the shopkeeper surnamed Shen very sincerely, "I apologize to you, I was abrupt about this matter, but ......"
"Since this lady knows that it is abrupt, then please leave."
The shopkeeper surnamed Shen made a gesture of inviting people, but his eyes looked vigilantly at the people who followed Chang Xi, knowing that the woman in front of him might have a background, and he didn't want to make more trouble, just want this good thing to get out of here.
The shopkeeper's temperament is not suitable for such a position, but this is his owner's problem, not Chang Xi's, so she nodded, turned around and left, since the goal has been achieved, she will not be an eyesore here.
This short episode made her discover a business opportunity.
