Splendid little maid

Chapter 79 Boss Huo
There is nothing to buy around here, mainly because she cannot afford it.

Chen Xi left here with a basket on his back, heading straight for the salt buying area.

Finally found the right place this time.

It's just that most of them here look like wealthy businessmen, all wearing gold and silver.

Chen Xi, a half-grown child, did not attract people's attention.

She wanted to seize the opportunity to ask someone, but everyone walked away and ignored her.

Obviously dislike her.

Chen Xi shrugged his shoulders, and could only stand aside and observe carefully. He sneaked a look at the wooden house shop with the salt signboard when someone approached him to inquire.

The result is still to communicate in slang.

Chen Xi couldn't help having a headache.

But he still turned the basket around, and then took out the five catties of fine salt and put it away.

Then wait quietly.

She still has patience.

The innkeeper was a squat merchant in a white mask with blue paint.

Chen Xi saw that he traded with that customer, but he seemed to give a piece of silver for about ten catties of salt. It can be seen how profitable this salt business can be.

Not many people buy salt at the moment.

Chen Xi waited for the man to leave, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, clutching the small pannier on his chest.

"Hey, how many catties of salt did this little brother bring? The price of salt has been rising recently!"

Although the chunky shopkeeper couldn't see his face clearly, he spoke with a smile and was very friendly.

Chen Xi hurriedly took out his salt bag, looked left and right for a while, and no one asked, "Shopkeeper, I don't buy salt, I sell salt, do you think you accept it here?"

As soon as she said this, the other party's tone changed, and he said suspiciously: "Oh? Don't buy it, you want to sell it? It's not easy to fool me. Are you really in stock?"

These days, there are many people who buy salt, but there are not so few people who sell salt, and they all have to be rich and powerful, otherwise it has something to do with it. Everyone knows how many salt merchants there are. The head kid said he wanted to sell salt?
Although Boss Huo has the goods on hand, he will charge as much as possible for things like salt, and this thing is in short supply, no matter how much it is, he is not afraid that he will not be able to sell it.

Knowing that he was interested, Chen Xi pushed the salt bag in his hand to him.

"Of course it is true. Boss, you can see for yourself how fine and high-quality it is, and whether you will accept it or not. If so, how much can you give me?"

Chen Xi directly opened the skylight to speak frankly, instead of beating around the bush.

She doesn't understand slang.

Chen Xi's frankness was still very popular, so the storekeeper said yes with a smile, and there was no one around, so he just happened to be able to see how the goods were at this moment.

As a result, when he opened the salt bag a little bit, he was shocked to reveal the fine white and beautiful salt inside, and he quickly closed it again, his hands trembling slightly.

Boss Huo leaned against the counter with his round belly, leaned closer and whispered: "How much do you have? Where did you get the goods? I didn't ask you so detailed, but give me a heads up. In some places, you can't eat salt. Eat it." Get things done!"

In the ghost market, you can't delve into the privacy of buyers and sellers, but you have to ask about some goods.

Chen Xi heard that he was very interested, so he smiled and said: "Of course the source of the product has a source, but I can't tell you, this product is genuine, there is no pollution, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating it. I have eaten it many times. I can guarantee that."

When Boss Huo saw someone coming from outside, he quickly put down the closed sign above.

It caused the guests over there to come over quickly, yelling repeatedly: "Boss Huo, wait! Wait!"

Seeing this, Boss Huo waved his hand and shouted to him: "I have business to discuss right now, if you want to buy salt, come back later! We don't welcome you! This person, please move to the inner room to talk in detail!"

Chen Xi didn't want to procrastinate, so he simply nodded and said yes, turned around and got under the horizontal board that Boss Huo had pulled up, and followed him into the store.

The customers over there could only leave angrily, turn around and go to other places to buy first.

Chen Xi looked back and felt that the salt seller was really arrogant, after all, it was a rare thing.

The wooden house is divided into front and rear rooms.

It is also very suitable to use the front to sell goods, and the back to rest and discuss business.

Boss Huo was very attentive, with a thick body, he busily poured tea and snacks for Chen Xi, and then sat down to talk when Chen Xi politely refused.

He first pulled the bag of salt, and then opened it again with surprise.

Seeing the beautiful fine salt inside, he couldn't help exclaiming: "My dear boy, such a good color is excellent. Where did you get it? This year's salt is not easy to get."

Although he knew that Chen Xi couldn't tell, he couldn't help but continue to inquire.

Chen Xi smiled and said nothing.

Boss Huo then picked out a little bit with a small silver spoon and tasted it.

Then I couldn't help but taste it carefully.

In the end, he praised: "This taste is so pure, without any impurities or strange smells. It is really a high-quality product. I wonder what price you want to ask for?"

Chen Xi likes his authenticity, but if he encounters a good thing, he has to pretend to be condescending, because a good thing is a good thing.

But she still calmly turned back to the customer and asked with a smile: "What price does Boss Huo want to offer?"

Just now, someone called the shop owner, Boss Huo, and Chen Xi took advantage of the opportunity to call her that, forcing the other party to stop treating her like a child.

By the way, firmly hold the initiative in your own hands, and don't be led by the nose.

The other party laughed when he heard the words, and said: "You are an interesting kid. You are not very old, but you are quite powerful. I have always been honest in business."

After Boss Huo finished speaking, he gave the amount again. He said carefully: "I'm not going to hide it from you. The current market price is 35 Wen a catty, and I paid [-] Wen a catty."

Chen Xi nodded slightly when he heard the words, and the price mentioned by Zhang Hansan was also about the same.

Boss Huo then continued: "I work hard here for a day, and my net income is only five renminbi, and I don't even dare to go to the latrine.

Not to mention that the price of salt is rising now. The salt I collect costs 45 Wen a catty, but it only costs [-] Wen a catty to take out. No matter how expensive it is, I can’t sell it.

Together, I still earn five cents, and the price increase outside has nothing to do with me, the middle hand.

Therefore, although the price of salt outside has risen to 45 Wen, if you want me to help you sell these salts, I can only give you [-] Wen per catty at most, so that I can make no loss, just look at it Come if you want. "

Boss Huo directly explained all his thoughts to Chen Xi.

Good luck.

It is time to sell salt and the price will start to increase today.

However.

Of course, Chen Xi didn't have time to set up a stall here, and that's why she came to the store to collect it. He was like a middleman, and she sold the salt to him at a slightly cheaper price, saving herself enough time, which was actually profitable.

Because she can use the time she saves to do other things.

　I have some time to fix it in advance~
