How much does this cost?

"It's too expensive, I can't afford it," Mo Rao said.

This set of furniture originally cost three thousand taels. "Young lady, if you really like this set of furniture, just give five hundred taels," the broker said.

hehe"……"

Mo Ran laughed dryly. She couldn't afford to buy it second-hand at this price. Forget it, she didn't want to think about it anymore.

Thinking of this, Mo Rao said, "I can't afford your second-hand one." Mo Rao sighed. "It's too expensive."

Girl, this price is really not expensive. This set is made of top quality Huanghuali wood.

"Little brother, you think too highly of me. Five hundred taels is not expensive for this object, but for me, it's a bit difficult." Mo Rao said.

Zhang Lanlan and her sisters were also stunned. Five hundred taels was just for a set of furniture, and used furniture at that. This thought completely overturned their imagination.

I don't want to think about this set of Huanghuali wood. But I want to ask, what are the general prices in the shops in our town?

The dealer did not treat them badly because they said they would not buy.

Instead, he smiled and said: The prices in this store vary.

I wonder what kind of store the girl wants to buy?

What's the price of this high one? What's the price of this low one? Mo Rao asked.

The lowest price is 200 taels, and the highest is 800 taels. The price varies depending on the location. Also, the size of the shop matters.

Fortunately, the price was within her budget.

Can I go to the shop and take a look? Mo Rao asked.

Sure? But our shop has a rule. You have to pay twenty wen (a small sum of money) to see a shop.

If the deal goes through, the 20 wen will be returned in full. If not, the 20 wen will be paid as compensation for our hard work.

Mo Rao, if you think about it, you'll understand. Some people look at things for a long time but don't intend to buy. They're just using others as entertainment.

If they had this twenty cents of hard work fee, those who don't want to buy a house would not join in the fun.

I didn't expect the ancients to be so wise. Twenty cents isn't a lot for someone serious about buying a house. It's not exactly an exorbitant price.

They run around here and there, which is equivalent to a day's wages for an adult man.

Mo Rao thought it was nothing, so she took out twenty cents from her pocket and gave it to the broker.

Sorry to bother you, bro.

“No trouble, no trouble.” The broker took the money with a smile.

The broker harnessed his carriage and went to the first shop.

The first one is located in a remote area. It used to be a bun shop.

Probably because of the location, business has always been bad.

The price of this store is relatively cheap, only two hundred taels.

The first one was directly passed by Mo Rao. It was too remote and not good.

Then there's the second one. This one is a little further in town. The location is good, and the prices are reasonable. But the shop is a little small.

Mo Rao was quite satisfied with the third house. It had two floors and a backyard. The best part was that there was a well in the backyard, making water easy to use. The price was quite good, too.

Eight hundred taels, no bargaining. The owner won't take anything away from the place, all will be given away. However, he doesn't plan to use the things inside. So whether to give them away or not doesn't matter to Mo Rao.

This family originally ran a restaurant. Because the previous owner died of illness and the young owner was not good at management, the restaurant went out of business within two years.

Then how many people went there? They went to two other stores. Mo Rao was most satisfied with the third one.

Mo Rao asked other people what they thought, and everyone agreed that the third one was really good, but the price was a bit high.

Mo Rao thought about it and agreed, so she discussed it with the broker.

The third shop in the middle. This shop is good in every way, but could the prices be a little cheaper?

The dealer said helplessly: "If the price could be lower, even by 10 taels, it would have been bought long ago. This young master is also a weird one. At least 800 taels, even if it is a penny less, he won't sell it."

Mo Rao could guess that the young master was reluctant to sell the shop, which was why he was so rigid about the price.

Thank you for showing us around. This is the third store we visited. We are quite satisfied with it.

I'm planning to have my parents come over to take a look tomorrow. If it's suitable, we can close the deal tomorrow.

"Success." The broker said happily.

Mo Rao planned to stroll around the town and said goodbye to the broker.

Mo Rao came to the porcelain shop and took out the blueprint in her arms. The shopkeeper said, "This may be made." The shopkeeper took the blueprint from Mo Rao and looked at it. The shape was a bit strange, but it was not impossible to make.

"The girl can do it, but the price is not cheap," said the shopkeeper.

How much silver would it cost to make this? Mo Rao asked.

"Thirty-five taels of silver, no bargaining."

"Are these the only things that expensive?"

"Girl, our prices here are absolutely fair. If you don't believe me, you can go to other places to ask for prices." The shop owner patiently explained.

Mo Rao was afraid of being cheated, so she immediately decided to go to other people's houses.

I went to several stores and found the prices to be pretty much the same. Are all ancient porcelains so expensive?

Zhang Lanlan had no idea what her sister-in-law wanted to do. Judging from her sister-in-law's attitude, she was determined to make the things on the blueprint. Thirty-five taels was a hefty price.

I want to persuade her but I dare not. After all, my sister-in-law is so powerful.

Last time I bought some moldy clothes and made a killing.

Besides, seeing how indulgent my parents are towards my sister-in-law, I don't think they will scold her too much.

In the end, they chose to remain silent. Although the siblings were shocked by the store's sky-high price.

But seeing their sister's calm and composed expression, they had to pretend to be calm. In fact, they were deeply shocked.

After a round of shopping, Mo Rao chose the first shop. After all, the attitude of the shopkeeper in the first shop was relatively polite.

Mo Rao paid a deposit of five taels of silver. The shopkeeper gave her a receipt and promised to deliver the goods in twenty days.

After finishing the business, all that is left is to stroll around.

What do you want to buy? Mo Rao asked.

Zhang Lanlan shook her head and said, "I don't want to buy anything. I just came out to accompany my sister-in-law for a walk."

The reason she came here was that she was a little worried about her elder sister taking care of her younger siblings alone, after all, her younger siblings were still young.

The two sisters also shook their heads. They were just there to join in the fun.

What were they specifically here to buy? I hadn't really thought about it. Mo Rao saw them. Since they didn't want to buy anything, he took them to the market.

The market sells a wide variety of goods. They are all vendors from various villages. They sell all kinds of snacks and silk flower headdresses.

On the bustling street, the siblings were attracted by an alluring aroma. They followed the scent and found a meat pie stall.

The stall owner is an old lady with white hair. Although she is old, she works very hard.

The old lady was dressed quite neatly. There was no grease on her body. The corners of her stall were also kept very clean.

It seems this old lady is quite hygienic. I guess the food here must be hygienic too.

Unlike the stall next door, which sells fried fruit, the putty is really thick.

And the woman's clothes were all dirty. No matter how delicious the food was, Mo Rao had no interest in it.

The stall owner skillfully puts the meat patties into the pan and fry them until the surface is golden and crispy.

Seeing this, the brothers and sisters were drooling.

Mo Baoshan was drooling at the scallion pancake stall. Everyone was laughing.

The scallion pancake stall offered scallion pancakes and palm-sized meat patties. The large meat patties were pan-fried to golden brown on both sides. The aroma filled the air. It was obvious that even Mo Baoshan, a teenager, was ravenous. Even she couldn't help swallowing as she watched.

Zhang Lanlan felt the silver in her pocket. She had some money on her now. She thought about buying some meat patties. She could still afford it.

So Zhang Lanlan pointed at the meat pie and asked: Stall owner, how much is this pie?

This is a big meat pie, eight copper coins each.

This scallion pancake is cheap here. Only 2 cents a piece.

8 copper coins. It's really not cheap. Zhang Lanlan still felt a little distressed.

But since my brother and sister-in-law wanted to eat, I couldn't be too stingy as their sister-in-law. So I gritted my teeth and said, "Give me four meat patties and one scallion pancake."
