On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle
Chapter 203 Bargaining
When the stall owners in the market saw customers coming, they all enthusiastically tried to attract Song Xile, hoping to attract him to stay in front of their stalls.
However, Song Xile had a clear goal, and she didn't want to spend too much effort on this, so she stopped in front of the fence of a middle-aged stall owner with a clear goal.
When the middle-aged man saw Song Xile stopped in front of his stall, he immediately smiled and asked:
"My lady, you want to buy a donkey. The donkeys here are all good at work. Look at their teeth and their shiny hair. I guarantee you won't suffer a loss if you buy one."
Song Xile didn't care whether the donkey could work or not, so the stall owner's words did not impress her.
She scanned the donkeys in the fence with her eyes, and then asked Ah Li with her consciousness, "Ah Li, do all the donkeys here meet the inclusion criteria?"
"Yes, host."
After hearing what Ali said, Song Xile had an idea in his mind.
She pointed to a donkey with shiny fur and strong limbs and asked, "Stall owner, how much is this donkey?"
Even though she didn't know how to choose animals, she could tell at a glance that this was a good donkey.
When the stall owner heard Song Xile asking about the price, he immediately smiled and said, "Madam, you have a good eye. You picked out the best donkey I have. If you buy it, it can work for the family right away. It can be used as two laborers. If you are sincere in buying it, I will give you eight taels of silver."
Song Xile shook his head, "I'll buy it for six taels of silver."
The stall owner stamped his feet upon hearing this and said, "Madam, are you serious about buying a donkey? Why are you bargaining like this? My donkey is of the best breed."
He saw that the young lady didn't check anything before buying an animal and just randomly pointed at a donkey. He thought she would be easy to fool, but he didn't expect her to ask for two taels of silver as soon as she opened her mouth.
If he bargains like this, how can he make money?
Even if he wanted to, other stall owners in the market would still be resentful towards him when they saw him.
Blame him for disrupting prices in the market.
Seeing that the other party was obviously unhappy, Song Xile quickly expressed his opinion:
"I am definitely sincere in buying donkeys. The current economic situation is not good, so not many people are buying donkeys. The daily expenses for feeding these animals and fodder are also not small."
"Can you make it cheaper? I'll buy it for six taels."
How could he not know that the market conditions are not good now?
Otherwise, why would I be here bargaining with her?
He struggled in his heart for a while, but still shook his head and said, "My wife, if I sell a donkey of this quality at such a low price, I won't have to do this business anymore."
But he didn't want to miss this deal, so he pointed to a few donkeys in the corner of the fence and said, "If you are interested, you can pick one of those donkeys over there. I'll sell it to you for six taels of silver."
Song Xile looked in the direction the stall owner pointed and saw that there were indeed a few donkeys in the corner. Three of them looked older and their fur was slightly dull.
The other two looked young and were lively turning around in the corner.
In fact, Song Xile’s initial choice was the donkeys in the corner. Anyway, he bought them for inclusion in the system, so of course he had to do it in the way that saved money.
She pointed to a young donkey and said with a smile: "Then give me that one. However, this donkey is still young. It will take another year or two for it to grow up and be able to work. So I will only give you five taels for this donkey."
When the stall owner heard the price, he looked at the young donkey in the corner. Although he was a little hesitant, he was still willing.
Just as Song Xile said, among these donkeys, the young donkey is the most difficult to deal with.
But he still wanted to bargain with Song Xile, so he said, "Five taels and five cents of silver. If my lady is willing, we'll do the deal."
Song Xile saw that the stall owner's attitude was loosening, so he insisted: "Five taels, if the stall owner is unwilling, I will go to ask the other store."
The stall owner was afraid that he would miss out on this business and there would be no other buyers today.
So, he pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded: "Okay, my lady, since you really want to buy it, I will sell it at your price."
Song Xile was delighted when he heard this.
But he remained expressionless as he took out his purse, took out a silver ingot and handed it to the stall owner.
The stall owner took the money, untied the rope on the donkey, and led it to Song Xile. "Madam, please introduce more people to buy donkeys in the future, and make sure the price is fair."
Song Xile took the leash, smiled and agreed, then pulled the donkey away.
She led the donkey out of the market and immediately turned into the bustling street.
There were endless pedestrians and vehicles coming and going on the busy streets. Song Xile's eyes were roaming around, looking for a suitable place to start.
Walking back, Song Xile suddenly felt that she was being stared at. She subconsciously looked around, but did not see any suspicious people.
Just when she was wondering if she had seen it wrong, Ah Li's voice suddenly rang in her mind, "Host, someone with ill intentions is staring at you, just above and to your left."
Song Xile looked up when he heard that, and saw Yang Ji staring at him with burning eyes in front of a window on the second floor.
When Yangji found that he was noticed, he did not avoid him. Instead, he raised his glass towards him with a slight smile on his face.
When Song Xile saw Yang Ji, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered, "It's really unlucky. I should have checked the almanac before going out today."
She simply stopped moving forward and turned into the alley to avoid the annoying gaze.
In fact, this place is not far from Liuer Hutong, and it can be considered a shortcut. Just cross this alley, turn left and walk along the alley to the oil mill.
Just pass through the oil mill and you can directly reach the backyard of their rented house.
Fortunately, after Song Xile crossed the alley and turned left, he found that there was no one in the alley.
She originally thought she would have to find another opportunity to include it.
When she found that there was no one in the alley, she immediately moved her mind, and the donkey in her hand disappeared out of thin air and was recorded in the system.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5,000 points." Ali's cheerful voice sounded in his head.
Song Xile took a glance and saw that the balance in the system had reached seven thousand.
Although this amount of points is not enough, it should be no problem to exchange them for four or five thousand kilograms of grain.
Song Xile was very satisfied, and prepared to go back and exchange some grain while no one was paying attention and put it together with his second brother's.
Song Xile went to Liuer Hutong in a good mood, having completely forgotten about his encounter with Yang Ji.
Yang Ji, who had never been ignored like this, had a gloomy expression. If he were in Nanyang County, he would have had her whole family arrested. How could he allow her to be so arrogant?
The servants following Yang Ji, seeing that their young master's face was as dark as ink, dared not utter a word. They all hung their heads like quails, not daring to make the slightest sound for fear of being implicated and punished.
Just when the atmosphere was solemn, there was a knock on the door.
