Chapter 742 is full of things
It was the first time for Lou Yun to see such a large warehouse, and this time it was really an eye-opener.
The money shopkeeper turned the pecans in his hand, and then stopped a worker who was loading and unloading grain, and he ordered the worker to open the two bags a little.
The worker's calloused hands were very powerful, and the sturdy sack was torn open by him a few times.
However, Qiu Yuling also noticed that although the worker's hands were not bleeding, the calluses on his hands had been worn off. This may be what people who beg for a living should bear.
Lou Yun lowered his body and took out a little bit of rice from the bag.
Qiu Yuling said in a secret voice: "Brother Yun, this grain is good. β
Lin Luoyao said: "Okay, the nerd can ask the price." β
Lou Yun said: "I don't know how much food is like this, sir?"
The money shopkeeper said with a smile: "There are as many Qiuzhuang as there are." β
Lou Yun asked, "I don't know the price?"
The money shopkeeper didn't speak, he shrunk his hand into his sleeve, and then stretched out to Lou Yun. Lou Yun was stunned, he didn't know what was going on. This is a method used by merchants, especially those who buy and sell, to negotiate prices.
This method of negotiating the price is called differently in various places, some places are called "handles", some places are called "pinching yards", but there are also elegant people who jokingly call it "the best in their sleeves".
Because this method of bargaining is to hide the hand in the sleeve, and then the hands of two people use a few specific actions in the sleeve to negotiate the price. In this way, both people have a bottom in their hearts, and others don't know the price, so that others don't know what price is, only the two of them know. Even if the seller sells expensive and cheats people, others don't know, and the seller loses money, and others don't know.
This is a bit similar to a private chat such as sound transmission, but most of the businessmen are ordinary people, and they are not from the rivers and lakes, so naturally they will not transmit any sound into the secret. These are all methods invented by clever businessmen.
But Lou Yun doesn't know what tricks are "in his sleeves". He didn't react. He froze there, looking a little embarrassed.
Lin Luoyao thought to herself: "Really, I didn't calculate this point by all means, I have to hold hands when I negotiate the price, but unfortunately I didn't teach the nerd, but forget it, let him plan it." β
The Lin family has been in business for generations, of course Lin Luoyao will do this kind of trick, but she is a big girl, can the girls' hands be touched casually?
Of course this is not good, not to mention that she is already Lou Yun's fiancΓ©e, even if it is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, or even a chivalrous girl on the rivers and lakes, she has not said that she will let people touch her hands casually.
What's more, on this occasion now, Lin Luoyao didn't come forward.
Naturally, there is Qiu Yuling who was stunned with Lou Yun, she has not seen this, she is still a little strange, Lou Yun has already asked the price just now, wouldn't it be good to say it happily? What does this mean?
The money shopkeeper saw that Lou Yun didn't know this, so he took out a small abacus from his sleeve, this small abacus was made of pure gold, although it was only the size of a palm, but the price was enough.
The money shopkeeper pulled a few times on the small abacus, and then handed it to Lou Yun to see.
Although Lou Yun doesn't know how to "do things in his sleeves", he can understand the abacus. Lin Luoyao also quietly looked at it, the price given by the money shopkeeper was fair, and it was a fair price on the market. And it's worth the price.
However, Lin Luoyao still used the voice to enter the secret and said: "Nerd, bargain." If he does not agree, then beg him with the things of the victims. If that doesn't work, then you say take a look at the other people's and go back to talk to someone. β
Lou Yun heard Lin Luoyao's transmission, and he didn't speak: "I just gently stretched out my hand and moved the abacus in the hand of the money shopkeeper." β
The money shopkeeper smiled when he saw this price, and he said with a smile: "Master Qiuzhuang, are you joking with me!"
Lin Luoyao suddenly thought of a good idea, a good idea not to dirty her hands. By the way, Murong Zheng was rectified.
Lin Luoyao told Lou Yun in a secret voice: "Idiot, you tell him, who is joking with you, this is the price set by Lord Qincha." That's it. β
Lou Yun repeated: "It's not a joke, this is the price given by Lord Qincha, if it's not suitable, I'll discuss it when I go back, after all, I can't do such a big thing myself, but please ask Mr. for the sake of Lord Qincha and the victims, let some more." The people will remember the great kindness of Mr. Leave. β
The money shopkeeper arched his hand and said, "Okay, farewell!"
After Lou Yun finished speaking, he left here with Lin Luoyao and Qiu Yuling.
The money shopkeeper snorted coldly, and then put the abacus away. He said to himself, "Tender little cub." β
Lou Yun left here and returned to the street.
But it's noon now, and it's time to eat.
They didn't go any further, but found a restaurant nearby on this street, then booked a private room, and ordered a few of the signature dishes here.
Lin Luoyao praised Lou Yundao: "Okay! Idiot, it's quite good." Well done, much better than I expected. Looks like I underestimated you before. β
At this time, Qiu Yuling asked, "Sister-in-law, what is that stretching out your hand for?" Qiu Yuling turned back into her face and resumed her voice, she would transmit the sound and search for souls, if anyone approached, she could also change back at any time, and she was a little unaccustomed to Zhu Yunchang's face, after all, Zhu Yunchang was one of the people she didn't want to see.
Lin Luoyao said: "That, that's called 'holding hands' there, which is a way for businessmen to negotiate prices, especially for big businesses, such as cattle and horses, and medicinal herb trading, which is used to bargain. In order not to let others know. Really, I forgot about that, I didn't teach you, but that's okay, you just handled it well, and it's not a bad thing that you don't know how to bargain, so that everyone can let their guard down. β
"Because businessmen like to do business with outsiders the most, because outsiders are the best 'blind', and they are also the most expensive without blinking, this time we moved Murong Zheng out, also for this purpose, to let them know that behind us is the official silver of the imperial court, if it is official silver, it is not their own money to spend naturally not distressed. Maybe they'll give you a kickback. Hehehehe~~"
In fact, this is not the case at all, Lin Luoyao just wants to pit Murong Zheng, although there are some factors in this regard, but she simply wants to pit Murong Zheng and "let" the credit for buying grain to him.
Although the credit was given to him, the black cauldron was naturally thrown to him, and then Lin Luoyao still had a big chess, originally she wanted her grandfather to carry the black cauldron, but now that she thinks about it, it is more appropriate to let Murong Zheng carry it.
