Chapter 400: Bargaining and subcontracting(2/3)
Chen Siyu didn't believe the price. She knew that you could bargain when buying things at the night market, so she discussed it with her aunt:
"Auntie, do you want to sell it for 30?"
The aunt shook her head: "No, you've cut me 6 yuan, how can I do that?"
Chen Siqing said: "We only have 30 left. If we can't buy it with 30, we really can't afford it."
She meant what she said, and what she said seemed to be true.
The aunt has eaten more rice than the little girl has eaten. She knows what the other person is thinking, and lack of money is just an excuse.
However, it seemed that 30 was really the other party's minimum price, so she relaxed a little and said, "Six yuan is too much."
"Auntie, please, I'll introduce my friends to buy from you in the future." Chen Siyu joined the bargaining battlefield.
The aunt's attitude became more and more relaxed, and the two sisters felt stable.
A deal is about to be concluded.
Tang Fu, who was eating candied haws next to her, suddenly remembered the time when she bought Oreos in the store and forgot to bring money, so Jiang Ning paid for her.
'What do you say? When the road is rough, draw your sword to help!'
Tang Fu's mind suddenly flashed and she immediately said:
"Are you short of 5 yuan? It doesn't matter. I can lend it to you."
…
Hongxing Street South.
The aroma is lingering, and many guests are eating at the outdoor tables, serving Malatang, fried skewers, beer, rice wine, and all kinds of delicacies.
Xue Chuchu held Tongtong and followed Jiang Ning in front.
Xue Yuantong would occasionally tell Jiang Ning what was delicious and guide Jiang Ning to eat this or that. As for Xue Chuchu, she didn't express her opinion.
When going out, if there are people with her, she prefers to be in a passive position.
Xue Chuchu has a strong heart and is still a traditional girl at heart.
Xue Yuantong stopped in front of the ice cream truck. She wanted to buy it for Chu Chu, but Chu Chu declined.
While the ice cream was being made, Xue Chuchu's skirt was lightly rubbed. She looked down and saw a little boy of about four or five years old holding an ice cream cone.
Xue Chuchu's green dress had a stain as big as a coin, which seemed to have come from the ice cream in the little boy's hand.
The little boy apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, sister, I was too anxious!"
He looked annoyed when he apologized, it was all his fault.
Xue Chuchu took out a piece of paper, wiped the stain, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, you should be more careful next time."
A well-dressed young woman came from behind and apologized: "I'm sorry."
Xue Chuchu said again: "It doesn't matter."
After saying that, she continued to wait for the ice cream.
At this time, the young woman bought two more ice cream cones. When the ice cream was ready, she smiled at Chu Chu:
"For you."
Xue Chuchu was stunned and waved her hand to refuse.
However, the young woman insisted on giving it to them, so Xue Chuchu had no choice but to accept it, and the young woman took her son and left.
Xue Yuantong bit the ice cream: "Chu Chu, eat it quickly, it will melt immediately."
Xue Chuchu opened her mouth and took a bite. It was very sweet.
…
“Want snakehead or catfish?”
At the entrance of the grilled fish shop, Jiang Ning looked at the fresh fish in the glass water tank.
Xue Yuantong was more direct: "Which one is better?"
The boss said: "The catfish is more tender and has fewer spines, so it is suitable for girls to eat."
Jiang Ning made a final decision: "Let's go with the fork-tailed catfish."
The boss fished out a catfish from his net bag and weighed it on the scale: "2.5 pounds, is it okay?"
Jiang Ning nodded.
"What's spicy?"
"Medium spicy." Jiang Ning ordered another ice wine and some barbecue. This store is quite big and has a lot of food.
They went to the outdoor table. In this weather, it was not a bad experience to eat outside.
There were several tables of customers sitting around, there were people doing fistfights, and there were noisy market fireworks.
Jiang Ning cast a spell, which slightly eased the volume and made her ears feel much clearer.
When Xue Chuchu sat down, some of the guests at the table nearby cast their eyes in amazement. Her appearance always attracted attention no matter where she placed it.
"Chu Chu, have you ever eaten catfish?"
"No."
"The boss said there are fewer spines than snakehead fish?" Xue Yuantong put two paper towels on the table, rested his little arms, and supported his chin.
"Jiang Ning, did you ever get stuck in a fish bone when you were a child?"
"Yes, but it's not serious." Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong turned to Chu Chu and said, "Do you still remember the incident when someone in our village got stuck by a fishbone when you were a child?"
"Remember." Xue Chuchu couldn't help laughing when she thought of that scene.
Xue Yuantong smiled and said: "Jiang Ning, you must not get stuck by a fish bone, otherwise it will be very serious."
Jiang Ning said: "It's not serious. It was removed at the hospital."
Xue Yuantong: "It was very serious when we were young!"
"One day there was a child in our village who was stuck in a fish bone and couldn't go. The adults thought it would be troublesome to go to the hospital."
Jiang Ning agreed. In the past, when someone got sick in the village, as long as it was not really serious, they often didn't bother to go to the hospital. At most, they would seek medical treatment at small clinics in the village.
"Later, the child got stuck in the fish bone and screamed. The parents had no choice but to use the ancestral method."
Xue Yuantong said while gesturing with his hands, "His father went to the ditch to catch ducks, asked the children to open their mouths, held the ducks upside down, and poured duck saliva into the children's throats."
Xue Chuchu whispered: "Duck's saliva."
"The child was crying and screaming. After a while, the fish bones disappeared." She smiled very happily.
Jiang Ning had heard of this folk remedy before, but she didn't expect anyone to actually try it.
"Can duck saliva melt fish bones?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xue Chuchu said: "Theoretically it is possible, but it requires duck saliva to be in contact with fish bones for a long time."
Xue Yuantong was surprised: "How long did it last for that time?"
Xue Chuchu added: "Maybe the child was stimulated and swallowed the fish bones."
…
A brightly lit night market.
Shan Xiao wore a black T-shirt and black shorts, walking on Hongxing Street.
There are no patterns on his clothes, which highlights his simplicity, and his old face is even more honest.
As soon as the peaked hat saw this boy, he immediately locked eyes with him. He was honest and careless, and he was sure to be easily deceived.
‘This business will definitely be open!’
He tightened his peaked cap and put it on his bag furtively, "Brother, do you want to buy a mobile phone? The new 5S, how new do you think it is?"
He demonstrated as usual.
He lowered his voice: "I just got it. I'm in a hurry to get it out. Look, it's unlocked."
Shan Xiao looked interested: "How much is it?"
When the peaked hat heard his inquiry, he was so excited. He stared at several people in front of him, and they either thought his phone was rubbish or accused him of being unpatriotic.
Now when he meets a normal person, he actually feels sad.
However, due to his professionalism, he should continue to deceive.
“One price is 800!”
Shan Xiao: "It's too expensive. Aren't you in a hurry to sell it? Give me 200?"
The cap swiped the screen: "Look how smooth it is. The screen is all original and the fingerprints are still intact. If I didn't rush to sell it, how could I sell it to you for 800?"
"Here, you check." Peaked Hat generously handed over the phone.
