Chapter 1229: Show Food (4)
Sister Ghost is a good guest, looking at the brass hairpin recommended by the vendor, she nodded happily and replied, "Your lady is really ingenious, this hairpin is really beautiful, I like it very much." ”
Yang Huairen snickered on the side, probably this is another interpretation of the beauty produced by distance.
Sister Ghost is a princess, what kind of jewelry have you never seen? Let's just say that when she was in Liao in the past, she used it, which was the most luxurious and extravagant, basically it can be said that whatever the lady in the palace wears, she can wear anything, at this point, Yelu Bawotai is still very generous to a baby daughter.
Take out the most worthless hairpin at random, either mutton fat white jade, or jadeite, and the gold one is not of grade enough.
But today, Sister Ghost chose the hairpin made of brass and colored crushed goose soft stone, and she couldn't put it down.
It seems that the gap between the rich and the poor is not necessarily the amount of money, but the rich buy things, regardless of the price, as long as they can look at and like it, while the poor must first consider their purchasing power, and then they can meet the requirements of whether they like it or not.
Or from another point of view, Sister Ghost can like a cheap brass hairpin, which shows that even if she is a princess, she still retains a kind of girlish simplicity and simplicity.
But this is a good thing, which makes Yang Huairen want to return to the people, high up, always feel that the wind is too strong, and it is easy to feel cold.
And returning to nature and returning to the folk made him no longer have any worries and pressure, and people became more comfortable.
The funniest thing is that the ghost sister somehow came to be interested in pretending to be a small citizen, and began to bargain with other vendors.
"How is this sold?" The ghost sister shook the brass hairpin in her hand and asked in front of the hawker's eyes.
The peddler smiled, oozed out his hand and made a five, as soon as he set up a stall, he came to open a business, and naturally he would not say an excessive price.
Sister Ghost hadn't bargained before, so she was a little overwhelmed. The little girl in Qingzhu seemed to have heard about how to bargain when buying things from other maids in the Yang Mansion, and knew that cutting half of it was a woman's standard bargaining method, so she secretly whispered in the ear of the ghost sister.
Sister Ghost was overjoyed when she heard this, but when she thought about it, it was not easy for a hawker to come out with a box on a hot day to set up a stall, and she felt that it was a bit too ruthless to cut half of it directly for others, so she stretched out three fingers and cut forty percent.
The peddler stiffened his face a little embarrassed, thought about it, and stretched out his hand again, this time missing a finger, which was a compromise and took a middle price.
Sister Ghost, who bargained, felt that her first bargaining was very successful, and she actually made the hawker compromise, and her heart was already happy.
But thinking that since I have succeeded once, maybe I can succeed a second time, so I held back the joy in my heart, frowned and stretched out three fingers, and gestured three times, as if to say, I have so much money, if you still insist on your price, I won't buy it.
It's even more difficult for the hawker, although it is an open business, but it can't help but make money, and the brass hairpin of fifty wen, although it is not a rare thing, but it is made by his lady little by little.
The colored pebbles inlaid on the hairpin are also picked up by the river outside the city every day, and the colored stones are not so easy to find, and they have to be broken and processed into the required size and shape, which also takes a lot of work.
Counting the materials and labor, a brass hairpin like this will almost cost nearly 30 yuan, and if he sells it at a price of 50 yuan, such a profit ratio is satisfactory to him.
If someone haggles and sells it for forty yuan, he and his wife will still have a profit of more than ten yuan, and he can reluctantly accept it, but thirty yuan, there is almost no profit.
Yang Huairen watched the two of them from the side without saying a word, just using his hands and his own emojis to bargain back and forth, which was very interesting, but he was still very concerned about whether the ghost sister could cut the price to the price that was suitable for her.
The peddler finally couldn't help but speak first, "This little lady, I see that you are also from a rich and noble family, why can't you get along with a small vendor with me?"
The price you offered, I really can't sell it, although this hairpin is not as precious as the things in the jewelry store, but it is also carefully made by my lady little by little, you can't let me and my lady do it for nothing, right? ”
Then he still stretched out four fingers, "This price, it can't be lower, if you think the price is not appropriate, or you can look at something else, these are here, cheaper......"
Without waiting for the vendor to continue, Sister Ghost also spoke, "Okay, for the sake of your honest appearance, I want this hairpin." ”
Only then did the two of them show a happy smile on their faces at the same time, and the ghost sister turned to the little girl, "Qingzhu, give money!" ”
Qingzhu let out an "oh", while taking out money from his purse, he didn't forget to comfort Sister Ghost, "Madam, we have also cut a lot of prices, and this hairpin is not a loss." ”
Sister Ghost also felt that she was satisfied with the first time she bargained, and she was able to cut off 20% of the price, and besides, what she cared about was not money, but the process of bargaining, as if she had become a sister in the bargaining world since then.
Qingzhu counted four pieces from his purse and cut them, grabbed exactly one tael of silver, and put them in the vendor's flat box.
Sister Ghost didn't feel that there was a problem at all, and took the brass hairpin and gave it to Qingzhu, "Qingzhu, I specially bought this hairpin for you, come, I'll help you take it." ”
Qingzhu was very happy, and obediently approached Sister Ghost, saying thank you while letting Sister Ghost fiddle with her hair, completely leaving the hawker and Yang Huairen aside.
The peddler was happily making his first opening sale of the night, but when he looked down at the four shiny pieces of silver lying in the box, he was stupefied.
Yang Huairen and Brother Tianba held back a smile on the side, and Brother Tianba couldn't help but say, "Brother, the fifth sister-in-law and her girl are really talented, they cut half a sky-high price, and then gave people a hundred times the money, do you think they did it on purpose?" ”
Where does Yang Huairen know? But it's more likely that women like Sister Ghost and Qingzhu really don't know the price of folk things, and there is no such night market in Liao, so they didn't go shopping because Liao's business was far worse than that of the Great Song Dynasty, and there was nothing to go shopping.
Therefore, in their eyes, it is impossible to distinguish between a copper hairpin and four taels of silver.
But the peddler was stunned, and he was a little at a loss when he grabbed the silver, afraid that he would lose his manners and couldn't stuff it back to the ghost sister, so he had to beg Yang Huairen with a bitter face, "Big official, Xiaodi is a conscientious peddler, and he has no intention of making money." ”
