Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 101: Wanted to learn bargaining skills, but failed halfway!
"What is the problem?"

Broly thought that was fine.

"But why? I'm not good-looking."

Leone suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She had always presented herself as a tomboy since she was a child, and had never been pursued by anyone, let alone such a young boy.

"I'm not attracted to you because of your looks."

Whether the Crystal Palace recognizes her is Broly's criterion for judging his wife. What he actually values ​​is the ability of a wife recognized by the Crystal Palace to produce happiness points that can be exchanged for food.

At least, before he got to know these wives, this was the simplest reason why Broly fell in love with them, and everything was driven by the most primitive appetite.

"Besides, Leona, are you ugly? I don't think so."

Although Broly cannot judge the beauty or ugliness of others specifically, he still has basic aesthetic standards. Especially since there are many beautiful girls around him, Leone may not be the prettiest, but at least she is not below the standard.

"Hey, is that so?"

Leone pressed the brim of her hat. She felt embarrassed when the boy praised her beauty.

"I think you have at least average talent!"

Broly continued.

"Actually, I'm not that good... um, mediocre?"

Leone was stunned for a moment before looking over.

"It's just average. In my team, Esdeath is prettier than you. Although Red-eyed Maine and the others are not as good as you for now, they just haven't grown up yet.

I think they will be very good-looking when they grow up. If you compare yourself to them, you will be just ordinary."

Broly said seriously, and because Akame and the others had already agreed to become his wives, that was a huge plus for Broly.

Leona: “…”

Give her back her excitement, asshole!

"What's wrong? Why don't you speak?"

Leone felt a little tired and didn't want to talk much.

"There's a stall selling second-hand goods over there. I'm planning to go shopping there. Do you want to come with me?"

She changed the subject.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Do you think I have money?"

The stubborn child returned to the main topic.

"If you pay for my bill, then I'll assume you're rich."

Leonie said that she felt that she should not treat this boy who had not grown up yet but was obsessed with finding a wife with the same attitude as she would treat the opposite sex.

He should be treated as a financial sponsor, and what is a financial sponsor? It is someone who is used to cheat people out of their money.

This is definitely not because the other party thinks that her appearance is ordinary.

"Okay, but I don't have any money, you have to lend it to me first."

Broly said seriously.

. . . .

"My two guests, what are you going to buy? I have some vintage goods here."

The owner of the second-hand goods stall was reading a newspaper. When he saw two young customers stopping in front of the stall, he stood up and greeted them with a warm attitude.

"Let's take a look first. Um, Boss, your little pendulum clock seems pretty good."

Leone's eyes were fixed on an antique little pendulum clock. Her family was in need of something that could tell time.

"You have a good eye, this clock is the legacy of a famous watchmaker. It..."

"Stop, are you going to sell this thing to me for half a million?"

"Ah, customer, you are making things difficult for me, aren't you? If I sell it to you for 500,000, I will lose money. But if you really like this thing, 500,000 is 500,000. I'll sell it to you!"

The stall owner first pretended to consider, then slapped his thigh and said as if he was willing to suffer a huge loss and give up the treasure.

"Do you think I'm a fool to spend half a million on this crap?"

Leone looked at the second-hand goods vendor as if he were an idiot. "Hey, this thing isn't worth half a million dollars, is it?"

Broly asked in surprise.

Leone turned around and saw the boy's innocent eyes, and she understood.

I understand why the stall owner dared to nod and acknowledge this outrageous offer. He is treating them like fat sheep.

"Don't expect there to be any treasures in this second-hand stall."

Leone sighed and had to explain to Broly.

"But didn't you say that someone bought a painting for fifty dollars, and someone else bought it for five hundred thousand dollars?"

Broly asked curiously.

“It’s because of that incident that the owners of second-hand goods stalls are now very discerning, and the good goods are basically taken away before that.

If you really want to go shopping, you should go to the stalls where ordinary people sell second-hand items. Of course, among a thousand old things, there may not be one valuable thing.

And the prices are basically very expensive. If you just want the actual use value of the thing itself, you might as well buy a new one.”

Leone gave a scientific explanation.

"So you're not here to buy old stuff."

The stall owner was a little disappointed, and put away his enthusiastic expression. He pointed at the small pendulum clock that he had just sold for 500,000 yuan and said calmly: "Pendulum clock, third-hand goods, 500 yuan, no bargaining!"

In response, Leone sneered and said, "Fifty dollars for this broken clock, no more!"

"This twenty-year-old pendulum clock cost more than five thousand dollars when I bought it twenty years ago. You just gave me fifty dollars. Are you here to disturb my business?"

The second-hand goods stall owner was furious, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "Four hundred and fifty, I've already reduced the price by fifty, I can't reduce it any further."

"Seventy-five, sell it if you want!"

"Four hundred."

"one hundred."

……

After some back and forth between Leone and the stall owner, the final clock price came to one hundred and eighty, which made Broly's eyes widen.

If he could learn this bargaining technique, would the food sold in the Crystal Palace be cheaper?
[Host, please note that the items exchanged in this Crystal Palace are not negotiable, and the price of each item is the actual price. 】

However, the Crystal Palace, sensing Broly's perception, immediately came out and poured a bucket of cold water on him, cooling down Broly's desire to bargain.

"I spent so much money on this broken pendulum clock of yours, you should at least give me something extra."

Leone said breathlessly.

"What do you want as an extra?"

The owner of the second-hand goods stall also asked breathlessly, saying that it had been a long time since he had seen such a bargaining expert who was as good as the aunties in the vegetable market.

"That belt hanging on the old cupboard looks like it can still be used. Give it to me so I can tie my trousers with it."

Leone pointed at a belt hanging next to an old cupboard and said this. The owner of the junk stall looked in the direction Leone pointed and saw the belt made of a round iron piece and a torn leather strip. That thing was found when he collected the old cupboard, so it was no problem to use it as an extra item.

but……

"Make it even, give me two hundred dollars, and I'll give you the belt as well."

He said.

"Row."

Leone paid the money decisively, picked up the small pendulum clock and belt and left.

The junk stall owner was surprised to see that the guy didn't bargain.

After Leone left, the stall owner slapped his thigh and felt regretful. He wondered if he had sold the wrong treasure. However, after carefully checking the cabinet that came with the belt, he couldn't tell what good stuff it was.

"Could it be that he really wanted a belt, but just paid for it decisively so that I couldn't sleep tonight?"

It’s true, but even knowing this possibility, the junk stall owner felt that he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

"What a master at manipulating people's minds!"
