Traveling to ancient times with a sign-in system

Chapter 81 So, she is the stupidest one?
Gu Tang picked out two sets of fine cloth bedding, one set was placed in the new yard, and the other set was placed at Gu's house for her own use.

As for her father and Gu Ping'an, Gu Tang picked out coarse cloth sets for them, two sets for each person, one set was placed in the new yard, and the other was placed at Gu's house.

After choosing the bedding, Gu Tang bought two pieces of fine cloth and two pieces of coarse cloth.

Ask the shopkeeper to find a rope to tie it up and wait for her father to come and settle the account.

Not long after, Gu Lianshan came back with a wooden face, holding the clothes he had just taken away.

Gu Tang looked puzzled: "Why did you take it back? Does it not fit?"

"...It fits me well, but I haven't paid for it yet, so it's hard to put it on right away."

Gu Lianshan curled the corners of his mouth towards his daughter, wanting to laugh, but when his eyes glanced at the pile of bedding tied up beside his daughter, he couldn't laugh.

"This, this is..." Gu Lianshan's voice was shaking.

"I picked out the bedding and four pieces of cloth, and now I'm waiting for you to settle the bill." Gu Tang winked at her father secretly.

The meaning is very clear, we are just waiting for you to come and bargain!

The shopkeeper's movements were very swift, and he was ticking off the abacus. "Brother, I'm a sincere man, and I won't be dishonest with you. Four fur coats, the big ones will cost you one and a half taels of silver each, and the small ones will cost you one tael of silver each. As for the bedding..."

Gu Lianshan's head was buzzing, and as the shopkeeper quoted prices one by one, he was about to go crazy!
How much money does this cost?!
Soon, the shopkeeper calculated the total price: "Nine taels and eight hundred coins in total!"

Gu Lianshan:……!!!
Nine taels and eight hundred coins!!!
He was so angry that his whole body was boiling with anger. This was too expensive!

Looking at his daughter, Gu Lianshan swallowed his saliva and asked, "A little less?"

Gu Tang shook his head: "I've picked them all."

She still thinks this is not enough, and she doesn't even have a replacement.

Seeing that his daughter remained unmoved by the 9.80 taels of silver, Gu Lianshan had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and bargain with the shopkeeper!
He picked up a fur coat and started to find fault with it: "Is this fur coat worth one and a half taels of silver? Look at how sparse the fur is, and some places are almost bare! You can tell it's been eaten by insects and rats!"

"And these two smaller ones, the leather in the sleeves isn't even a single piece! It's all pieced together from broken pieces! How much are they worth? Five hundred coins is a high price!"

The shopkeeper was displeased when he heard this: "Brother, this is a fur coat! It's sold so cheaply because it's made of pieces. If it were a whole piece of leather, the price would be at least double!"

"You say it's useless! You put together a fur coat from broken pieces, and you've asked for a price that's neither too high nor too low. Those who can afford it look down on it, and those who can't afford it think it's too expensive. Isn't that a waste of money?

Look at how many fur coats are piled up on your counter. If you can't sell them this year, you'll have nowhere to sell them next year. Leather, after a while, either turns yellow or loses its hair, and most importantly, it attracts insects and rats. The price gets lower every year!"

These words left the shopkeeper speechless.

Indeed, when she made this batch of fur coats, she wanted to save money and was reluctant to use a whole piece of leather. Almost all of them were pieced together from broken pieces.

This is also why this batch of fur coats is so difficult to sell this year.

After pointing out the flaws in the fur coat, Gu Lianshan untied the bundled bedding and cloth.

I took a look at the cloth and there was nothing much to say. The price was reasonable, but I needed to talk about the bedding in detail.

"The kapok in here must have something else added to it! It doesn't feel soft to the touch, and it feels hard and prickly when pressed! And you dare to charge hundreds of coins for this? Touch it yourself and see if it's worth the price!"

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes. Whose kapok doesn’t have adulteration?!
Every family is involved!

Gu Lianshan placed all the bedding on the counter and touched them one by one.

After touching the whole thing, he said it was not real and that something had been added to it.

After touching six sets in a row, all of them were like this. Gu Tang was dumbfounded. Could it be that he had been deceived?
But the shopkeeper's expression didn't look like he was exposed.

And her father only said that something else was added to the kapok, but he didn't insist on it. He just said it was not worth the price and asked the shopkeeper to give him a new and honest price.

The shopkeeper was also fed up with the annoyance and was willing to give in: "Nine taels, seven hundred and fifty copper coins! I'll give you fifty copper coins off!"

"No way! You have to give me all the decimals! One price, nine taels of silver!" Gu Lianshan bargained very hard and got to the point in one go.

Gu Tang, who was watching from the side, was stunned.

Cut off 800 coins in one go? Would the shopkeeper agree to this?

Glancing over, he saw the shopkeeper explode in anger: "Brother! I'm a small business, and I can't even make 800 coins in three days! How can you call this a bargain? You're taking my life!"

"My family is also in business! Who doesn't know who? This is the price, nine taels of silver! If you agree, we'll pay the money. If not, we'll find another one!"

After saying this, Gu Lianshan grabbed Gu Tang, pulled her around and was about to leave.

Gu Tang was confused and didn't react for a moment. She was pulled by her father and took two steps.

"Hey, hey, hey! Big brother! Please give me some more! At least let me earn some hard-earned money!"

"At this price, you'll definitely make a profit!"

Gu Lianshan did not stop and continued to walk out with Gu Tang, with one foot already out of the door.

"Okay, okay, okay! My good brother! I'll give it to you at this price! Who let me see your daughter so happy? And she's so filial that she only cares about buying you and doesn't want anything for herself? Just consider it a favor for her! You can take it at this price!"

Gu Lianshan turned his back to the shopkeeper and finally showed a genuine smile on his face.

He left Gu Tang and turned around, grinning as he went to re-tie the bedding.

She didn't forget to brag to the shopkeeper: "I have four children, but this one is the best..."

The shopkeeper also put on a smile again, as if nothing had happened, and happily held Gu Lianshan in his arms.

At first glance, it looked like they were having a very pleasant conversation.

Gu Tang didn't want to say a word. Her father's bargaining routine was so familiar... Wasn't this the common bargaining routine in the previous life?

And there was this shopkeeper, who said he was not making any money, but after being slashed with 800 coins by her father, he still sold it happily!

So, how deep is the water here?
Sure enough, she is the dumbest and most honest one!
Gu Tang rubbed her face, learned a lesson from it, and would do the same next time!
"Girl! Hurry up and take out the money, we have to go back." Gu Lianshan picked up the bedding and shouted to Gu Tang.

"it is good!"

Taking out his purse, Gu Tang took out two triangular pieces of silver and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled even more widely. He took the silver and bit it a few times with his mouth, then took out a scale to weigh the silver.

The two pieces of silver weighed ten taels each, and the shopkeeper gave back one tael in change.

In just a short while, nine taels of silver were spent.

Gu Lianshan was still heartbroken, so he quickly took Gu Tang out of the cloth shop and away from here.

He was afraid that the one or two taels in Gu Tang's hand would be spent.
