poisonous woman

Chapter 346 The Beggar Man
Rong Zhao didn't go to the store either, but just went shopping at the street stalls. Now she found that the street stalls were much more interesting than those in the shops, and they were several times cheaper.

She was standing in front of a stall. There were all kinds of iron walnuts on the stall, big and small, round and flat, with all kinds of patterns.

"Ma'am, you are really discerning. The pair of walnuts you are holding are the best among my walnuts. Look at the lines on it, they are clear and deep, and look at the color, how bright it is. This thing has a The scientific name is Menjian Lion's Head." The stall owner was an old man with neatly combed hair, which was carefully pasted on his scalp.His complexion is quite pale, and he looks quite pedantic.

Speaking of his things, he was eloquent, "Generally, there are few fine trees that can be made into fine trees. Most of them are either flat, flat, crooked, or asymmetrical. But look at the tree in your hand. Two of them, symmetrical left and right, with pointed heads and round belly, but they are top quality."

Rong Zhao threw the walnut into the air, and the stall owner's eyes were fixed on him, and his heart also tugged, as if following Rong Zhao's throw, his heart flickered up and down.

"It's not bad." Rong Zhao tilted his weight and asked honestly, "How much?"

Knowing how to bargain, Rong Zhao regarded it as something new.

The stall owner smiled, looked at Rong Zhao's clothes, then glanced at the maids who surrounded her, and put out a finger, "One price, 100 taels."

"100 taels? Is this shit worth 100 taels?" Qiu Shui almost popped her eyes when she heard the price. After doing the math, her monthly payment is only 20 taels, and this walnut seller is all over the sky. The asking price was 100 taels. If it was so valuable, she would still be a maid and went to pick walnuts.

The stall owner pursed his lips and said, "Girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. My things are all treasures. Do you know what a real product is? Rare things are precious, just this one walnut, maybe several trees Got this one."

Qiu Shui snorted, and said, "What's so strange, even if you give me the tree, I don't want it too much." He took one from the stall, "If you buy this thing for 100 taels, it's better to buy a vase and go home. You can watch the decorations, and you can also arrange flowers. It’s not much better than this, and you can’t eat it.”

The stall owner quickly snatched the walnuts back from Qiushui, wiped them with his sleeve, and muttered, "A maid is a maid, she has no knowledge at all."

He pointed at the stall owner's nose, then stopped Rong Zhao, "Miss, let's go, don't buy things with him, he just wants to see the price of the lady's wealth, so let's look elsewhere."

Rong Zhao really likes these two walnuts. The walnuts are the size of a baby's fist. Her father used to like to hold two walnuts of this size in one hand and turn around.Thinking of the letter from my father a few days ago, saying that he would come to see her next month, so I wanted to buy something in advance to honor him.

However, she has been to the market several times, and she is well versed in the way of buying and selling.So he pretended not to care and left.Before leaving, I did not forget to ridicule the stall owner, "My lady grew up in Fugui Nest, what good things have I never seen? You want me 100 taels for a walnut, and you are too black-hearted. Don't say it's just such an ordinary thing. It’s just a better lady than this one. I have more than you have on this stall, and I’m rare for your ordinary goods. Let’s go, let’s go to another house to have a look.”

After taking a few steps, the stall owner hurriedly called out, "Wait, Ma'am, wait a minute, let's discuss it again. Business is not a final decision."

Qiu Shui glanced at him and said, "You just said a price, but this time it's not a one-shot deal?"

The stall owner had a stiff smile on his face, "Girl, look at what you said." Qiu Shui said a little embarrassedly, "Ma'am, you are noble, you look like a rich family, and you are open to all good things. In this way, the old man I don't care Xu, you set a price and see how much you can give."

Rong Zhao knew a little about iron walnuts, and judging from their color and shape, they should be top grade.She didn't keep the price to the lowest, no matter what, they still want to make money.

"40 taels." Rong Zhao set the price in one bite.

Mandarin language taught her that when buying things in Yizhou, you have to cut half of it off, and then cut it off by [-]%.This is the trick to counter-offer. Generally, the things you buy and sell are cut in half, but if you directly say half the price, the merchant will counter-offer and raise the price.If you want to buy it at half the price, you have to lower it a bit. After the other party counter-offers, it will be almost the price you want.

The mandarin language is that girl in Rong Zhaoxiang's eyes, she is a ghost, she has the same temperament as Qiushui.

Sure enough, the stall owner had a bitter face, "Ma'am, you are too cruel. You will kill me for [-]% of the price. Can you give me a higher price?"

The stall owner was also in a hurry to get rid of it. This pair of dull-pointed lion heads was indeed a good thing, but those who bought good things went to the store to buy them. The ones from him were too expensive. It had been several months. This pair was stunned. It didn't work out.

After finally coming to a customer, I originally wanted to make a lot of money, but I didn't expect that the rich are the most picky, and they almost killed his profits all at once.However, if he didn't make a move this time, he would be afraid of smashing his hands. He bought it at a huge price of 20 taels.

Rong Zhao was secretly delighted, and sure enough, this trick worked. Just as he was about to add ten taels, Yuan Yu squeezed beside her and patted on the stall, "Our wife said 40 taels is 40 taels, don't bargain, just earn some. , Be careful that greedy words turn into poverty, and your two walnuts turn into rotten wood."

Rong Zhao looked at her, didn't he say that the 100% off is a chance to counter-offer, why not ask people to counter-offer?She is in love with this pair of walnuts, no matter how much it costs, even [-] taels.

Yuanyu blinked mischievously at her with her bright eyes, and helped Rong Zhao to leave.

"Hey? Don't go, don't go." Seeing that he was about to leave, the stall owner was in a hurry.

The mandarin language raised Liu Mei, "Boss, 40 taels is a lot, just accept it when you see a deal, and your business will prosper."

The stall owner sighed helplessly, and found a cloth bag to put the walnuts in, "40 taels is 40 taels, I see that this lady is very noble, and she is pregnant again, and she sold it at a loss, so I have the right to take your nobility, Add to the lottery."

Yuanyu took the cloth bag, "Boss, you are not losing money, if our wife hadn't bought it, you would have smashed it in your own hands." She picked up two more small ones from the stall, "Look, we helped You are doing such a great favor, it is not too much to give us two."

The stall owner all laughed, looking at the mandarin language, the little girl is only about fifteen or sixteen, how can she have such a sharp mouth.If you lose business, you have to say thank you to her, and then you have to take two.

40 taels is not a lot, and the stall owner himself understands that the asking price of 100 taels is just to see how well they are dressed.Originally, he was afraid of ruining his own hands, so he could sell as much as he wanted, but now he can still earn 20 taels, and he doesn't care about those two little walnuts.

"Okay, I'll just treat it as a lucky opening for me, and I'll give it to you." In business, the most important thing is to be kind, and kindness makes money.

Yuan Yu smiled and said to Rong Zhao: "Master, these two walnuts..."

"Didn't the stall owner tell you, I gave it to you." It's not unreasonable for Rong Zhao to like this little girl, she is eloquent, clever and clever, and she is very attractive.

"Smelly beggar, go away, don't block me from doing business in front of my door." Just after paying the money, there was a curse from the bun shop next to it.

Rong Zhao turned his face and saw a ragged beggar who was kicked by someone, and fell staggeringly in the middle of the street.She frowned fiercely, remembering that she was humiliated in front of the bun shop.

The beggar got up quickly, raised his head and met Rong Zhao's eyes, but in an instant, he moved away again.Rong Zhao's eyes darkened, why did he feel like he was avoiding her eyes?

Yuan Yu was clever, and stuck to Rong Zhao's ear, "He has been following us just now, and we have been all the way."

Rong Zhao squinted his eyes, looked at the beggar, and raised his eyes again.It was a pair of eyes full of affection and forbearance.But instead of looking at her, it's—
At the end of that invisible and scorching gaze was Mo Yu.

It's just that Mo Yu didn't seem to know her. At first she didn't care, then she was dazed, and finally when everyone looked at her with ambiguous expressions, she became angry and hid behind the crowd.

Rong Zhao raised the corner of her mouth, she whispered something to Gu Qu, and Gu Qu came to the side of the beggar, said something, and brought him over.

The beggar was timid and timid, with his head bowed and his chin pressed to his chest.

Seeing that his body was dirty, Rong Zhao took a few steps back, waved the handkerchief in front of the tip of his nose, "You follow us all the way, what do you want to do?" Glancing at Mo Yu, "Could it be that you toad want to Eating swan meat? Who do you want to see?"

Rong Zhao came out with more than a dozen maids, big and small, all staring at the moon, and everyone laughed, coaxing his dark face to ooze red.

Someone pushed Mo Yu forward, "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to us, Mo Yu? Little beggar, your eyes are really poisonous. Mo Yu is good-looking and good-natured, but he is the most outstanding among all our sisters. Loved by our wife."

The beggar looked up at Mo Yu, but Mo Yu only turned his back to him, his eyes were sad, and he lowered his head again.

Rong Zhao looked at the beggar carefully, asked so many questions, but didn't say a word, could he also be dumb?

She didn't want to be entangled, and she called over just to tease her.Ask Gu Wu to reward him with a few copper coins, and said: "Don't follow any more, Madam, I have a kind heart today, and I will give you a few copper coins to buy buns to eat."

Before he finished speaking, the beggar stared straight at Mo Yu and asked, "You are Yinglian, aren't you? Do you remember me? I am Brother Junbao."

He ignored Rong Zhao directly, and didn't accept Gu Wu's money.

Rong Zhao asked Mo Yu, "Do you know him?"

Mo Yu shook his head vigorously. Seeing her shaking her head, the beggar stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Yinglian, how can you deny me? I was here for you and became a beggar. I heard that you sold yourself to bury your father After entering the Prince's Mansion, I blocked the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion every day, waiting for you. I finally saw you today, how can you say that you don't know me? We are engaged. Yinglian, talk to me , You said you knew me."
