The old man was deeply moved by what everyone said. He hadn't quoted such a low price in vain. Yun the Butcher and his men were indeed people worthy of admiration.
When he saw Yiyi before, he should have guessed that they would say such a thing. Therefore, this also strengthened his determination to offer concessions to Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu.
"Brother Yun, don't worry. Although the price I give you is low, I can still make money, just not much. But I will definitely not lose money."
"So, don't try to persuade me anymore. Let's just settle the bill at this price." The old man said with a serious face.
Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu looked at each other and knew that the shopkeeper was determined to give them a bargain, so they stopped trying to persuade him.
"Grandpa Zhang, thank you for giving us so many discounts. Yiyi wishes you good luck and prosperity in the future." Yun Yiyi said with a smile.
"Grandpa Zhang, Zirui also wishes you good luck and wealth." Xie Zirui said immediately.
After hearing what Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui said, the old man laughed happily.
"Oh, Yiyi and Zirui are good at talking. Then I'll lend you two my good wishes." The old man said happily.
Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu also laughed happily. It was more pleasing to see a child praised than to see an adult praised.
The old man worked on his abacus for a while, and then he calculated the bill. Then Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu paid.
"Boss, the cloth has been brought out and the cotton has been weighed," the clerk said loudly.
"Brother Yun, how about we count the goods while we load them?"
"Okay, let's go out together." said Yun the Butcher.
So everyone gathered around the mule cart. Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu counted the cloth and checked the cotton.
"Brother Zhang, we have completed the inspection and can load the truck."
"Okay, let's load the car together."
So everyone loaded the cloth and cotton onto Yun the butcher's mule cart.
At this time, a young man came over holding two pieces of cotton cloth.
"Boss, this is the cotton cloth you wanted," said the clerk.
"Give it to me." The old man took the cotton cloth and put it on the mule cart.
"Brother Zhang, I didn't buy any cotton cloth today." Yun the butcher said hurriedly.
"Brother Yun, let me tell you the truth. I gave this cotton cloth to Yiyi and Zirui to make clothes. So, don't refuse."
"But, Brother Zhang," the old man took over before Yun the Butcher finished his words.
"If it weren't for Yiyi today, I would have lost even more. So, these two pieces of cotton cloth are nothing. If you keep making excuses, I'll be furious."
"Besides, I really love your two little kids. You taught them so well." The old man said with envy.
"Brother Zhang, this is a bit too expensive. Besides, it's just a small matter, you are making it too serious." Yun the butcher evaded.
"Alright, Brother Yun, just be frank and take it. Besides, this is for the child, you are just keeping it for safekeeping. If you pass by here again in the future, remember to come and see me."
"I will definitely treat you to a meal when the time comes. You were too rushed today, so I didn't treat you to a meal. I feel really sorry." The old man looked helpless.
"Grandpa Zhang, thank you. If we pass by here in the future, we will definitely come to see you."
"Grandpa Zhang, thank you for giving the fabric to my sister and me. See you later." Xie Zirui said politely.
After hearing what the two children said, the old man touched their heads reluctantly. Although they had not known each other for long, the two children who were like little adults were so lovable.
"Okay, Brother Zhang, thank you. See you later."
"Boss, we'll see you later." Old man Wu also said with a fist salute.
"See you later." The old man said reluctantly.
After saying goodbye to the old man, Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu drove the mule cart to continue shopping.
Yun Yiyi found that most of the shops on both sides of the street were open, and there were many people coming and going on the street. This made the street very lively at the moment.
"Selling buns. Big, fragrant and delicious buns."
Suddenly, Yun Yiyi heard the sound of vendors hawking in the distance. "Haha, this time I can buy some buns to eat back home," Yun Yiyi thought happily.
"We're selling cabbages, fresh Chinese cabbages. We also have juicy carrots. There aren't many left, and once they're sold, they'll be gone."
Yun Yiyi heard someone selling cabbage and radishes.
"Dad, more than fifty meters ahead, I heard someone selling cabbage and radishes." Yun Yiyi said happily.
"Yiyi, is this true? Did you hear it right?" Yun the butcher looked at both sides of the street and didn't find anyone selling cabbage and radishes.
"Dad, listen to me and keep going. If I say there are people selling vegetables, then there must be people selling vegetables. Think about it, when have I ever lied to you?" Yun Yiyi said relentlessly.
"Haha, that's not the case. Yiyi, don't be angry, Dad will go find a stall selling cabbage and radishes now." Yun the butcher immediately coaxed.
"Dad, just trust me, it's absolutely right."
"Uncle Yun, I also heard the hawking sounds." Xie Zirui said affirmatively.
"Okay, we'll be there soon."
It was not far away, and Yun the butcher soon arrived at the stall selling cabbage and carrots in his mule cart.
Butcher Yun immediately noticed the lush green cabbages and the bright red, juicy radishes. They were so fresh that he wanted to take a bite.
"Uncle Yun, you and Yiyi go buy groceries, I'll watch over the things on the mule cart." Xie Zirui said considerately.
"Okay, Zirui. We'll come back after buying some vegetables." Butcher Yun jumped off the mule cart and went to look at the vegetables.
"Yiyi, why did you stop moving?" Old Man Wu asked in confusion from behind.
"Grandpa Wu, there is a stall here selling cabbage and carrots. My dad went to buy vegetables. You come too. I'll help watch the car." Yun Yiyi said as she walked to the back.
"Are there really places selling vegetables? I've walked all this way and haven't found any stalls selling fresh vegetables. Haha, we are really lucky." Old Man Wu said happily.
"Of course, Grandpa Wu. You should also go and take a look at the food. It would be best if you and my dad bought all the food and then divided it equally between our two families. After all, there are so many people in our two families, so no matter how many dishes we have, it's never too much."
"Yiyi, what you said makes sense. You just watch over there while I go buy some groceries."
"Go ahead, Grandpa Wu."
Old Man Wu walked quickly to the front of the stall. When he saw the fresh cabbage and juicy radishes, he was overjoyed. What good luck today!
"Brother Yun, what are the prices of their cabbages and radishes?"
"Brother Wu, his cabbages are ten cents for two. Carrots are five cents a pound."
"This price is not cheap." Old man Wu said in surprise.
"It's dry now, and it's not easy to grow vegetables. That's why the prices of vegetables are high, and there's nothing we can do about it." A middle-aged woman selling vegetables behind the stall sighed.
