After entering the book, the young cannon fodder brought his short-lived mother to fly happily

The shopkeeper, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, flicked the fabric with his slightly bony fingers:

"Only seven taels of silver a horse!"

Zhao Susu: “…”

She was speechless: "Seven, seven taels?" Or cheap?

The shopkeeper looked at her and pointed at another piece: "This is Yanluo Huanhua brocade, twenty taels of silver a piece!"

Zhao Susu was speechless.

She brought all her belongings, 27 taels, but could she only buy two rolls of cloth? But she needed four rolls, and according to the contract, she could only get a little more than 13 taels, including principal and interest.

Even if I sell her, the money I lost wouldn't be enough to pay it back!

She felt that the sky was gray, and everything in front of her was even grayer, making her want to faint.

Meng Yu listened on the side and sighed softly in his heart. This mother is really a very contradictory person.

She has superb skills and is very talented, but she seems too out of touch with the world and knows almost nothing about the prices of things.

After buying things at a cloth shop in town before, she had a rough idea of ​​the prices of some fabrics. The best fabrics in the shop cost three taels of silver, so she thought that no matter how expensive other fabrics were, they would not be more than three taels.

But she never thought that it was just a small town and there were limited good things there.

Just a trip to the county town might have shattered her perception.

Meng Yu pointed at the horse next to him and asked, "How much is this one?"

Seeing that it was a child asking the question, the shopkeeper ignored it and just glanced at Zhao Susu: "Young lady, do you want these two horses?"

Zhao Susu didn’t know that if she didn’t do it, she wouldn’t be able to get the job done, and if she did it, it would be too expensive!

Meng Yu tugged at her: "Mom, this looks good!"

Zhao Susu took a look and found that it was different from the two kinds of fabrics mentioned earlier, but it was also not available in the town.

"How much is this?"

She asked in a stammering voice.

"This is called Yellow Flower Brocade, two taels of silver per piece!"

Meng Yu said to the shopkeeper: "Our house is far away, can we take more for delivery?"

The shopkeeper looked at the child again and thought, "Wow, despite his young age, he speaks very maturely."

"How far?"

"In Baiwu Town!" This time, Zhao Susu took over the conversation herself.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "If you buy something worth more than ten taels of silver, you can give it away!"

"This, this, and this, how much is one?"

"This one is one tael of silver! This one is five hundred coins, this one is seven hundred and fifty coins, and this one is three hundred coins!"

"Take three of this one, and one of this one! Four of this one, two of this one, and how many of these four are there in total?" Meng Yu knew that Zhao Susu was already at a loss at this time.

It was impossible to expect her to do more, so she cut the Gordian knot and bought it first.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhao Susu and said, "Young lady, are you sure you want to buy these?"

He couldn't take a child's words seriously. Besides, when they came, weren't they after the two materials, Liucai Weaving Flower Brocade and Yanluo Huanhua Brocade? Why didn't they want even a foot?

Zhao Susu nodded randomly.

The shopkeeper then said to Meng Yu, "Don't you want these two?"

Meng Yu thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you want for one foot each?"

"Not even one foot is enough to make clothes!"

"Won't you sell it?"

"Sell, sell, sell!" The shopkeeper laughed, "A total of twelve taels, six hundred and seventy-five coins! I'll give you a zero, twelve taels, six hundred and seventy!"

"Twelve taels?"

The shopkeeper snorted and laughed: "What kind of price are you talking about, kid? What can you buy for so much less? Well, I'll be more generous and give you the seventy cents off!"

"Can't we? I don't know if that one is OK! Mom, let's go over there and take a look."

Zhao Susu nodded mechanically in a daze: "Okay!"

The shopkeeper was stunned to see that the mother and daughter were actually leaving.

This is a bargaining process, with give and take.

But the child left without saying anything, and the woman did the same, she just walked out without saying anything else.

"Come back! Come back! This is really my best price, twelve and a half taels, how about it?"

Meng Yu shook his head: "Uncle shopkeeper, don't be so embarrassed! It will be the same if we go to that store!"

Shopkeeper: "..."

He was helpless: "It really can't be that much less, you have to let me earn some money, right?"

Meng Yu didn't look back. Zhao Susu was not in the right state of mind at this moment and didn't say a word at all. The two of them had already walked out of the store.

"Forget it, I'll sell it to you. I'm really scared of you!" The shopkeeper had never seen such a bargainer. He kept the same price until the end and wouldn't increase it by a penny!

Zhao Susu realized it later: "Ah, thank you!"

Finally, pay six taels of silver, and the remaining six taels will be paid after the goods are delivered.

"Sujin Tailor Shop in Baiwu Town!" Zhao Susu announced the place. Meng Yu smiled sweetly at the shopkeeper: "Uncle shopkeeper, we will leave later. Can we take your delivery carriage?"

Shopkeeper: "..."

The mother and daughter are the opposite of each other. The little child is very smart, but the mother is dull and out of focus.

Is the child too smart, or is the mother too stupid?

"Can I?" The child's eyebrows and eyes are as beautiful as if she were covered with powder, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her eyes like black grapes are filled with a longing look. Who can bear to refuse?

It's delivery anyway, so just add two more people as long as they can sit.

He waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be too late. My delivery guy has to come back soon! If you haven't arrived at the hour of You, I won't wait for you!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Susu responded.

The shopkeeper looked at her, then at Meng Yu, not knowing whether he was envious or sighing: "You are so lucky, young lady, to have such a smart and eloquent child!"

Zhao Susu smiled shyly.

It was not until Meng Yu pulled her out that she started to worry: "Ayu, the materials we bought are not those materials, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, mother. Uncle Mu taught me what to do when I encounter such a thing!"

"Really?" There was finally a glimmer of light in Zhao Susu's eyes.

"Yeah!" Meng Yu nodded.

"Then why don't we go back quickly? We are not familiar with this place!"

"Mother, since we are in the county, let's find out the prices! This time, I was cheated because I didn't know the prices!"

Zhao Susu looked at her expectant eyes, feeling shy and ashamed.

Because you don’t know the exact price, people take advantage of you.

Zhao Susu didn't feel good at all when she thought about losing a huge sum of money.

Meng Yu saw through her worries at a glance: "Don't worry, Mom, I have a solution. I won't lose money!"

This sentence was like a shot of adrenaline, and immediately made the frustrated and powerless Zhao Susu's eyes widen: "Really?"

After receiving a positive answer from her daughter, Zhao Susu's heart finally settled down a little.

Next, Meng Yu asked Zhao Susu to inquire about the price of everything, not only fabrics, but also rouge, groceries, and even the blacksmith.

At the beginning, Zhao Susu couldn't open her mouth and always hesitated for a long time, then she gave in to Meng Yu's wet and expectant eyes.

Later on, she was able to ask questions smoothly and no longer needed Meng Yu's encouragement with his eyes. She just asked the price directly.

Walking past the street corner, Zhao Susu was about to ask another store.

Suddenly, her face changed, her smile froze, her lips trembled, and the thing in her hand fell to the ground with a thud!
