The road to wealth of a peasant widow

Although they were vegetarian buns, the kids still enjoyed eating them very much.

The dough of this bun is so white and soft. Holding it hot in your hand, you will feel satisfied just by smelling it.

Several people took small bites and swallowed them slowly.

Except Sui Sui, she saw that everyone was eating but she was the only one not eating, and she was so anxious that her mouth was watering and she was screaming.

After Chen Cui finished eating a bun, she held Sui Sui in her arms and began to peel off the bun skin, removing the shiny outer layer and feeding her the soft part inside.

Before I had finished eating half of the bun skin, the ox cart arrived at the door of the mountain goods store.

Chen Cui took a closer look and found that there were two mountain product stores on this street, one was called "Lin's Mountain Product Store" and the other was called "Zhou Ji Mountain Product Store". There were only a few shops between the two stores, and the shop assistants standing at the door could see the business situation of the other store.

Their ox cart was parked in front of the door of Lin’s Mountain Goods Store.

Chen Cui wanted to train Chang Ping, so she asked him to go to the store to ask.

Changping, who was usually very calm and composed at home, suddenly started to feel awkward when standing at the door of the store, hesitating and not daring to go in.

But Chen Cui just sat on the front of the car and looked at him with a smile, without saying a word.

Changping looked back at his mother and younger brothers and sisters in the car, and finally gritted his teeth and went in.

Although the shop assistant saw that it was a half-grown child coming in, he did not neglect him and greeted the customer as usual: "Sir, are you buying or selling? Our Lin Ji Mountain Goods Store has a complete range of goods, high quality, and reasonable prices. I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

It was the first time that Changping was treated with respect like an adult by the shop assistants. He was so excited that his face turned red.

Fortunately, he still remembered his mother's instructions, and despite his excitement, he still hesitated and said, "We are selling goods, will you take the wolves?"

The guy thought he had heard it wrong. "What? Wolf? The wolf you killed in the mountains?"

Chang Ping nodded affirmatively and asked, "It's in the car outside. Do you want it?"

The guy nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, of course, dead or alive?"

As he said this, he walked out from behind the counter anxiously, took Changping's hand and was about to walk out.

At this time, Chen Cui and her three children got off the car. Their legs were numb after sitting in the car all morning, so they stood for a while and walked slowly.

When the guy actually saw the wolf's corpse covered by straw, he couldn't help but show a look of joy. The kid really didn't lie to him. It was really a wolf.

But then he frowned. There were too many wounds on the body, and the skin was rotten. It would not sell for a good price!

You know, the most valuable part of a wolf is its fur. Compared with its fur, wolf meat and other things are just extras.

Seeing that the waiter looked unhappy, Changping was a little worried and quickly explained: "This just died yesterday, it's still fresh!"

The guy shook his head slightly: "It's not a question of whether it's fresh or not, it's just that there are too many rotten places on the leather."

Changping's face flushed. There was no way to refute it. This wolf was originally picked up by her mother at a bargain price. The wound must have been there before. How could they decide this?

Chen Cui Changping was speechless for a moment, so she smiled and said, "We don't understand these things either, so just name a price."

The man dragged the wolf's body off the car and put it on the ground. He looked at it over and over again, carefully examining every wound, wondering how the skin could be repaired in the end.

Later, he called another fellow and brought a scale to weigh the wolf as a whole.

This wolf was only slightly larger than an ordinary farm dog and weighed 62 kilograms.

Finally, the two men discussed it and gave the final price: "The fur of this wolf is very damaged, so it can't be sold at a good price. The most we can give is five and a half taels."

Changping had been worried when he heard that the fur was in tatters and couldn't be sold for a good price. He thought it could only be sold for one or two taels, but he didn't expect to get so much in the end.

He was delighted and wanted to say yes.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly realized that his mother was still beside him and that this matter should be decided by his mother.

Sure enough, after hearing the price, Chen Cui did not show any obvious expression, but asked the clerk: "We don't know much about this either, we just want to sell it at a good price, can we take it to other shops to have a look and give them an offer, we will sell it to whoever offers the highest price."

The clerk didn't get angry when he heard that. Instead, he nodded and said, "Of course, the highest bidder wins. You can go ask at other stores and come back if you need it."

Chen Cui thanked him politely, called Changping, and drove the ox cart forward a few steps to the door of Zhouji Mountain Goods Store.

Changping felt a little ashamed. If his mother hadn't asked him just now, he would have almost agreed. He didn't even think of going to another store to compare prices.

The movement of the Liu family at the door of Lin's Mountain Goods Store just now had actually been seen by Zhou Ji's clerks. Seeing that the other party failed to make the deal, they were secretly happy in their hearts.

But soon, Zhou Ji's men saw the wolf corpse covered with wounds, dark red blood and emitting a fishy smell, and they couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted.

The guy stepped forward and kicked it, holding his nose and saying, "This thing is too filthy, the leather is so torn, it's hard to repair, it's worthless!"

Chang Ping was at a loss when he saw this, but seeing Chen Cui's encouraging eyes, he still plucked up the courage to ask: "How much can it be sold for?"

The guy didn't offer a price directly, but asked in a probing manner, "How much will Lin offer you?"

Chang Ping was about to answer honestly, but was interrupted by Chen Cui: "What other stores offer has nothing to do with yours, so why don't you just tell me how much your store offers?"

The guy was a little unhappy about being blocked, but what the other person said made sense, and he couldn't refute it. He just said unhappily: "The maximum is four taels, no more."

Changping was a little stunned when he heard this. They obviously wanted to sell it at a high price, so how come it was even cheaper?

Before he could react, Chen Cui said, "Excuse me, we're going to another place."

As he said this, he asked Changping to put the wolf back into the car and go back to Lin's.

It wasn't just the price, she also disliked the attitude of this guy. She decided to go to the Lin's store they had just visited. It was one and a half taels more expensive than this one.

Seeing the family rearrange the car and head back to Lin's, the waiter got a little anxious. Why are they leaving without even asking for a price?

He wanted to call out to the family, but they were walking so fast that they had already reached Lin's door.

No matter how much he wanted to do business, he didn't dare to break the rules and steal customers from others.

However, he was somewhat curious about what price Lin offered. Was it much higher than his own?

In fact, if this wolf is worth five taels, you can still get it and make some money.

But he has become accustomed to lowering the price sharply first. Even if the other party bargains, they will feel embarrassed to offer too much. In the end, won’t he be able to make more money?

What’s wrong with this family? If they are not satisfied with the price, they could have bargained, but they just turned around and left. What kind of people are they?
