Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 140

Xiao Yilin was about to buy it when she was stopped by Jing Yi, she looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I'm talking about the shopkeeper, you really know how to watch people order dishes, and see that my elder brother looks good and dresses well , has a good temperament, you think he is a rich man, so he wants to cheat people, right?"

Xiao Yilin heard the little girl say that he looks good and has a good temperament, and he was as happy as if he had eaten honey.It seems that his appearance can catch the little girl's eyes, that's good.

Just as Xiao Yilin wanted to tell Jing Yi that he was rich, Jing Yi stopped him with a wink.

The corners of Xiao Yilin's mouth curled up, obediently listening to the little girl's arrangement.

After hearing what Jing Yi said, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Oh, my young master, I really don't want much. Such a top-quality suet white jade hairpin is not expensive at all at 3000 taels."

Jing Yi curled her lips, "Hmph, I know that you quoted 1000 taels to the people who bought hairpins before, but when you come to us, it's 3000 taels. You're taking us for a fool. I don't think this is a black shop. "

The shopkeeper quickly waved his hands and said: "Oh, young master, I dare not say that, our store is a serious business, no one is cheating, and the goods are genuine."

Jing Yi said: "If you are innocent, you can deceive us. Your jade hairpin is not the best, and it is not without any flaws: firstly, the texture of your jade hairpin is not very pure, and secondly, the water head of your jade hairpin is not very pure. It’s not very full, and the transparency is worse. The third is that the oily quality of your jade hairpin is also worse. Since you say it’s genuine, then give it a real price, and don’t come to those fake ones.”

The shopkeeper saw that he had met an expert today, so he didn't dare to ask for the price indiscriminately. He laughed and said, "Since you really want it, then I will give you 1000 taels of silver. This is the lowest price."

Gu Yu and Feng Zhi, who had been silent next to them, couldn't help but look at each other after hearing what the shopkeeper said.Dr. Chu raised the asking price of 3000 taels of white jade hairpins to 1000 taels in such a short time, which is really amazing.

If his prince didn't bring a counter-offer, he would buy it for 3000 taels, so he would give him an extra 2000 taels for nothing, which would be like being taken advantage of.

Jing Yi curled her lips and stretched out her hand to make an eight sign, "800 taels, one tael can't be more. If it doesn't work, we won't buy it. Even so, you can make some money."

When the shopkeeper heard that he really met an expert, he immediately said with a mournful face, "Young master, 800 taels really can't be bought, and I can't sell it at a loss. I have to support my family, and you have to let me earn some money. In this way, I don't want your 1000 taels anymore, 900 taels, no longer low."

Jing Yi insisted: "It's only 800 taels, if we don't sell it, we'll leave." Then he was about to drag Xiao Yilin away, "Brother Xiao, let's go, this shopkeeper is not real, we won't buy from him."

Xiao Yilin also followed the little girl's wishes and wanted to go with her.

The shopkeeper took a look and said quickly: "850 taels, it can't be lower."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yi immediately turned around and said with a smile, "Deal, Brother Xiao, give me the money."

Xiao Yilin saw the little girl's ability today. In just a short while, the price of 3000 taels of white jade hairpin was reduced to 850 taels, which is really amazing.

Xiao Yilin gave Gu Yu a wink, and Gu Yu immediately took out an 850 tael bank note and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper handed the white jade hairpin and the jewelry box containing the hairpin to Gu Yu.

After Xiao Yilin and the others left the jewelry store and walked some distance away, Feng Zhi gave Jing Yi a thumbs up, "Doctor Chu, you are really good, the shopkeeper wants 3000 taels of silver, you can buy it for 850 taels, if we are sure I was deceived by others. But Doctor Chu, you really dare to bargain, and you are not afraid that the shopkeeper will be in a hurry with you."

Gu Yu said: "A white jade hairpin of this quality can't be bought in the capital without 3000 taels."

Jing Yi said: "You also said that it is in the capital. That's because the market conditions in the capital endow it with such a high value. Not to mention jade, other things must be more expensive in the capital than elsewhere. This is determined by the market.

Otherwise, why do some merchants buy something at a low price from one place and then ship it to another place to sell it at a high price to earn the difference.Although it is the same thing, its value is different in different regions.

But in this remote small town, not to mention rich people, even fewer can spend money to buy such expensive jewelry.If that store had no connections, it would be impossible to bring such a jade hairpin to the capital for sale.But in this small county, this jade hairpin is only worth so much money. "

Gu Yu and Feng Zhi nodded frequently while listening.

Gu Yu understood the truth, "Doctor Chu, what you said is true. At the border, some furs are cheaper. When you arrive in the capital, the price of the same fur will increase by two or three times."

Jing Yi said: "Of course, this is determined by the market. First of all, since ancient times, rare objects are more expensive. It is easier to obtain fur at the border than in the capital. Secondly, the cost of land, housing prices, labor costs, etc. in the capital is higher than that at the border. High, which makes the operating costs of a store virtually increased a lot.

Those who can afford good furs must be rich people, and the poor must not be able to afford them.In addition, people in Beijing have a lot of stupid money, and there are many people who never know how to bargain when buying things. "

Just after Jing Yi finished speaking, Gu Yu and Feng Zhi looked at their prince in unison.Their princes never know how to bargain when they buy things, and they will give as much as they want.How many times have their princes been slaughtered by others?
Xiao Yilin touched his nose and said: "I don't know how to bargain when I buy things, and I will give as much as I want. How many times have I been tricked by others. Jing Yan, you will have to work harder when buying things in the future , so as to save some money for Brother Wei."

Jing Yi saw Xiao Yilin's way of buying things just now, but he didn't know how to bargain.That's right, Xiao Yilin was born in the royal family, and has never been short of money, so he would never think of bargaining for things.

Jing Yi said: "Of course I am willing to contribute. Although we are not short of money, we can't just spend it casually, can't we? Ordinary people can't spend more than a dozen taels of silver a year. You will spend an extra 2000 yuan for this jade hairpin." An extra tael of silver is how many ordinary people spend a year. So think about it, do you have to plan carefully.

But you have to practice some bargaining skills in the future, if I am not by your side, you are willing to be slaughtered by others.Look at me more when I buy things in the future, it is also skillful to bargain for things. "

Xiao Yilin listened to the little girl's preaching very humbly, and he was very happy that the little girl could tell him this.This is to keep in touch with him, the more so the better.

From now on, she will be in charge of the entire palace. You can let the little girl take care of the purchases of the palace first, and then practice your skills first.
