The sun sets in the west, and a red glow appears on the horizon.

The clouds were glowing red, making everyone on the street blush.

Two people, one tall and one short, walked side by side. Ailian was shorter than Baimu. She was wearing blue shark pajamas and seemed unwilling to change into regular clothes.

Baimu was also wearing a white shirt, and his suit was still at Ailian's house.

The two walked into the alley beside the street.

Ordinary people go to supermarkets to buy vegetables, but those who really know how to cook will choose roadside vendors.

The alley is sheltered from the clouds and scorching sun. Many old people sit behind a stall made of burlap bags, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans in one hand and bargaining with customers in a rapid-fire manner.

"One thousand five hundred denarii a pound, boss, is this dish made of gold?"

The boss smiled and said, "Little brother, you can try to bargain."

The man blinked. "So... one hundred dinnies a pound?"

"Hey, these can't be sold. How can they be sold at such a low price? These are all freshly picked from my own yard. They are very good."

"Then what do you think is a reasonable price, boss? I definitely won't buy it for fifteen thousand anyway."

The old man looked at the young man with a serious expression, "Young man, I see that your work is not easy, so let's take 1,300 yuan. I'll take a small loss and give you two garlic sprouts to fry."

He bent down and picked up a handful of garlic sprouts from the stall and put them in the boy's bag. "The total is two thousand and one. I'll give you two thousand denarii after rounding off the decimals. That's fine."

Seeing that the boss was giving away free food and even giving away some extra money, the young man nodded and said, "Okay, uncle, it's delicious. I'll come back to buy from you next time."

"Hey, young man, you're so sweet! I'm already old, but you still call me uncle. Come on, let me give you some more leeks."

As he spoke, the boss pinched another handful of leeks and put them into the plastic bag with a smile on his face.

The young man was holding the plastic bag with a smile on his face, and he felt that he had made a profit.

"Come on, Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard greens, Chinese spinach, and lettuce. They're cheap, all freshly picked."

"Shaobing, authentic Old Capital shaobing."

The hawking sounds continued, and Bai Mu was very curious. "Hey, do you come here often?"

Ailian looked determined and nodded as if he was going to have a duel.

"This isn't a simple place."

"not simple?"

Baimu looked around. This was just an ordinary alley, crowded and bustling with people coming and going. What was so unusual about it?

Ailian grabbed Bai Mu's hand and said, "Don't talk for a while, this is a battlefield!"

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the vegetable vendor with a determined look, squatted in front of the stall and picked up a bunch of lettuce. "Boss, how much is a pound of lettuce?"

She asked, and Bai Mu looked at Ailian curiously.

Can buying vegetables become a battlefield?

He was very confused.

The boss said with a smile: "Well, little girl, it's 800 denarii per pound, it's a bargain."

He was waving a palm-leaf fan and staring at Ailian and Baimu's holding hands like an old fox.

Young couples are the easiest to fool.

"Hey, my girlfriend is so pretty. What are you planning to cook for dinner? I think these chives are great."

The boss stopped fanning himself with the palm-leaf fan and scooped up a handful of leeks from the pile of vegetables. "Young man, leeks are good. Eating leeks and having sex seven or eight times a night is no problem."

Bai Mu wanted to speak, but was glared at by Ailian and quickly shut up.

Ailian continued, "Four hundred dinnies a pound, how about that?"

A hint of fighting spirit suddenly flashed in the boss's eyes.

Yo!

He is actually a smart guy.

He rubbed his hands and said, "Little girl, this is not how you bargain. How can you cut it in half? Let me name a price. How about six hundred denarii per pound?"

He picked up the lettuce and plucked a piece. "Look, these are all freshly picked this morning. It's not easy for an old man like me to walk all the way from the bridge. My small business can't afford such haggling."

Ai Lian's mouth twisted, "Boss, there are worm holes in this lettuce. I don't think I can give you more than four hundred. Three hundred and twenty is better."

"Oh, the presence of bugs proves the vegetables are fresh. We don't use pesticides. They are all natural and pollution-free. They are organic vegetables."

"Six hundred, little girl, your boyfriend is so handsome, he must be someone who doesn't need that much, right, little brother."

He continued to focus his attention on Baimu. Baimu thought about it and realized that he really didn't need these few hundred dime.

"Hey, you open-minded people, come here. This is two catties and three ounces in total. I'll count it as two catties for you. That's one thousand two hundred denarii in total. Let's be friends, one thousand eleven is enough. I'll also give you a bunch of leeks, so you can relax tonight."

Bai Mu nodded and was about to take out his mobile phone to pay. When the boss saw that he had succeeded, he immediately put the payment code in front of Bai Mu happily.

Young people are still too young~

Just as Bai Mu was about to pay, Ai Lian blocked the payment code with one hand, with a look of fighting spirit on her face: "I just saw a lettuce seller at the intersection. The vegetables are much better than yours, and they are 400 denarii per pound. Boss, this is not how business is done."

"It's not easy for us young people to make money. So, at 400 dinars a pound, we want one pound and another pound of tomatoes."

Ailian's eyes scanned the dishes, like eyes of fire and gold.

Bai Mu's throat rolled. Is it really so troublesome to buy vegetables?

The boss knew he had run into a tough guy and sighed, "Okay, okay, let's be friends. I'll sell it to you for 400 yuan per kilogram. These leeks..."

The boss said this while looking at the leeks in the plastic bag. It was originally a sure-win business, but if he gave away another leek now, he would lose money.

You can't tell that the little girl is quite amazing.

Ai Lian quickly took the bag and said, "The leeks are good. Let's go back and stir-fry some vegetables."
