Hard times have room

Chapter 885

After sitting on the bluestone board for more than an hour, Pauline got up and went to the market again. At this moment, there were much fewer people in the market than before.

"Boss, how do you sell these oysters?" Turning around, the oysters at this stall were the largest, and all of them seemed to be half the size of her palm, so the stall owner pried open the oysters on display for others to see. It looks super fat and tender, and it looks very appetizing.

The stall owner saw that the person who asked the question was a skinny young girl, and immediately smiled: "Now oysters are cheap. I used to sell them for [-] cents each, but now I will give you [-] cent for [-] cents."

When the old lady came to ask, he said it was a penny, but now the girl in front of him is not a young girl, maybe she is not good at bargaining, if she can kill one, she can bargain. Bargaining, the price has room to drop, maybe she just bought it when she heard the price was reduced!
Besides, even if he sells a penny, he won't lose money. The things in the sea are basically a no-cost business. As long as the things are sold, he will make a profit.

"No, I came to ask with my dad just now. At that time, you said that it was a penny." Pauline looked like you were dishonest, the boss, and kept looking at him, looking at his face. reaction.

She was just talking about it casually. In fact, since Pauline separated from her father, the two haven't met each other. By the way, this market is not very big!

"How is this possible? I have always sold two points before."

"But it's so late now, let's sell you cheap, just for a penny, I don't bother to bargain with you, so that's it, you can buy more!"

His oysters were raised when the tide was low, and he went to the small island surrounded by sea water before. He was afraid that they would die and be stale, and they would be raised in sea water later, which took a lot of effort!It should be more expensive.

"Let me take a look again. In the stalls just now, shelled things like yours cost a few cents a catty. Buying ten oysters from you is enough for me to buy several catties to go back. Those things look There are a lot of them, so I’m sure you won’t be scolded.” Pauline said with an expression of not being very interested in your stuff, and she was about to leave after speaking.

Before she had gone a few steps, the voice of the stall owner behind her also sounded as she wished.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you. If you buy ten, I'll give you one. It's already very cheap. If I didn't bring a lot of oysters today and I don't want to take them home, I would definitely not Sold it to you so cheaply."

Upon hearing this, Pauline asked tentatively, "Is it okay to buy ten and get two free?"

She doesn't know if this is possible, because she is not good at bargaining with people, and she only knows a little bit about bargaining. For example, if the stall owner on the opposite side makes a step, she will try to see if she can go further. Of course, it is only for trying. If the other party doesn't back down, she will have nothing to do.

"Girl, this won't work. If you give two away, I'll be at a loss. Buy ten and get one free. I grit my teeth and give it away. If I give it away again, what will my family eat?" The stall owner shook his head with a bitter expression on his face. Xiang, looking unhappy.

In fact, today he also sold oysters for buying ten and getting three free, but that was the price for regular customers. This little girl bought ten and got one free. He felt that he was very conscientious.

At this time, he intermittently ignored the fact that he had asked for an oyster for five cents.

"Really? If you buy ten and get two free, I'll buy thirty immediately. If not, then I'll go to other places to have a look. It seems that there are places where you can buy two for a penny, although they are cheaper than yours. This small one can be picked and picked, and some big ones can also be picked out." After speaking, Pauline tightened the pannier on her body, turned around and was about to leave.

If the stall owner disagrees, forget it, go to other places to see first, if you really can't buy a good one, come back later!
Living here for so many years, Pauline's skin is more than a little bit thicker than before, and in this situation, what a joke!

Originally thought that the little girl was reluctant to part with his fat oysters, so she must pretend to leave, and she would definitely turn around and come back to buy them later, and he had already thought about how to open her mouth at that time.

But who knows, this person doesn't make sense at all!He said he really left, the speed was not slow at all, he delayed for a while, and the man walked away. Now, even if he wanted to sell, no one could hear him.

Seeing that the little girl really left, the stall owner felt panicked. If he had known that this person would leave like this, it would not be impossible to sell her for twelve oysters for ten cents, but now, it was too late to say anything. I can continue to greet the people who come to him to see things later.

When Baolin walked six or seven stalls forward, she saw her father, and the difference between their positions was only five or sixty meters.

She chased after her directly, just at such a short distance, and when she got to her father's side, Pauline felt a little panting, and her breathing was very short.

Before she opened her mouth, Wang Jiandang saw Pauline who was short of breath and gasping for breath beside her: "Slow down, I can't run anymore, what are you in a hurry for? Look at your panting now."

"It's hard to see you. I'm not afraid that you will disappear in the blink of an eye."

"Dad, what do you buy?" Pauline waited for her breathing to recover, and looked at him curiously.

"It's nothing, just some dried fish and shrimp, how about you?"

This is the first time Wang Jiandang has come to Tongmao Village to buy things after two years.

The most expensive thing in the back basket was dried shrimp wrapped in dried tree leaves, which were as big as his little finger and cost six cents a catty. At the stall owner's booth, the big and almost full shrimps were basically in his basket.

The dried fish is not the half-dried, large salted fish that I bought before, but the small one, the small miscellaneous fish that is as big as a thumb when dried, and it costs [-] cents a catty. The food is affordable, and I bought it for my family to eat. I bought a total of five catties.

With these two things, he packed his back basket in a mess. He checked the others and didn't buy them. One was inconvenient, and the other was expensive.

"I didn't buy anything, I just looked at it. I was tired from walking just now, so I sat and rested for a while on the big bluestone slab over there." Pauline pointed to the direction where she was sitting just now.

"Dad, what should we buy for lunch?"

They also ate at Qin's house at noon. On the way to the market, the two discussed it and returned after lunch. Now that no one's family is rich, there is no saying that they should eat one or two more meals at Qin's house. .

It is not that the father and daughter have not experienced the situation of going back after lunch in the past. In fact, this matter is not very difficult, anyway, they have to go back sooner or later.
