Chapter 212: Changing the Accent and Cutting the Price in Half



Tang Wanning smiled and waved his hand after hearing this. "It's okay. We're the ones who came to bother you anyway."

Xu Tianci: Brother Chen has a really good eye. My sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but also speaks so nicely.

With Xu Tianci's translation, the few of them had a pleasant chat.

After a sumptuous dinner, the mother and daughter rested in the room arranged by Xu Tianci.

Lying in bed, Su Meijuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

"Ningning, after we go back this time, let's never come to Guangzhou again, okay?" Su Meijuan's voice was filled with fear. "Even if it means making less money, I don't want to trade our lives for money. I just want our family to be safe and sound."

Seeing her mother's eyes red and full of worry, Tang Wanning couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have brought her mother with her.

Because she really didn't know that Guangzhou was so dangerous before.

Even in her previous life, she had only heard about it, which was far less shocking than seeing it with her own eyes.

"Okay, we won't come here again. When we meet Brother Xu tomorrow, I'll see if I can get him to help us purchase the goods and then ship them to the provincial capital."

After hearing what Tang Wanning said, Su Meijuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's a good idea. Let's do it this way. We won't ask Xiao Xubai to help us. We can just give him some compensation when the time comes."

"Well, it would be even better if we could find a reliable supplier."

After receiving Tang Wanning's affirmative answer, Su Meijuan's heart finally settled down a little. She said in a brisk voice, "It's getting late. Go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow."

-

The next day.

As the morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, Su Meijuan slowly woke up.

Looking at her daughter sleeping beside her, her eyes were filled with unmeltable love.

Counting the days, Su Meijuan hasn't slept in the same bed with her daughter for several years.

Thinking of Ningning's cute appearance as a child, a smile appeared on her lips.

As soon as Tang Wanning opened her eyes, she saw Su Meijuan's smiling face. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mom, when did you wake up?"

"I just woke up. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"No need to sleep. We still have things to do today. If we finish things early, we can go home early."

"Okay, then hurry up and get up and wash up. I just heard some movement in the yard. I guess Xiao Xu and the others have already gotten up."

"good."

The mother and daughter quickly changed out of their pajamas and left the room one after another.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived in the living room, they saw Xu Ma smiling at them enthusiastically, "Go wash up quickly, you can eat soon."

Although they couldn't quite understand what she said, the mother and daughter were able to guess almost exactly what she meant by the gestures she used when she spoke.

Tang Wanning smiled faintly, revealing two dimples, "Okay, Aunt Xu, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing Tang Wanning being so polite, Xu Ma had a much better impression of her.

It’s a pity that she is already married at such a young age. If she were single, it would be great for her to marry her son.

After having a breakfast unique to Guangzhou at Xu's house, Xu Tianci drove them to the wholesale market.

The wholesale market in Yangcheng is near the train station. After getting off the train, you will see stalls of all sizes.

Better shops will hang the clothes for people to choose. Some will save trouble and directly pile them on a long and wide wooden board. More casual shops will directly spread a tarpaulin on the ground and pile various clothes on it for people to browse.

Xu Tianci looked at the stalls and introduced them, "Those that can be hung are usually of better quality. Those on wooden boards and piled on tarpaulins are second best. Why don't you take a look around first?"

Tang Wanning also wanted to see how big the difference was between them, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay, then my mother and I will take a look around first and then decide."

After saying that, Tang Wanning took Su Meijuan to wander around the wholesale market.

Not only clothes are sold here, but also shoes and electronic products, all in styles that Jinling has never seen before.

When passing by a clothing stall, Su Meijuan fell in love with a camel coat at first sight.

"Boss, how much is this camel coat?"

The boss glanced at Su Meijuan and said indifferently, "Fifty-one pieces, how many do you want?"

When Su Meijuan heard it was only fifty, her eyes lit up. She lowered her voice and said, "Ningning, this coat is only fifty. With this style and quality, it can be sold for over a hundred in Jinling without any problem."

Tang Wanning also liked this coat very much. It was not only well-cut but also of good quality.

However, before she could speak, Xu Tianci poked her arm inconspicuously.

Tang Wanning was puzzled, but she didn't show it. She just looked at Su Meijuan with a smile, "Mom, let's go look at something else first and come back to buy something later."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After that, the three of them walked towards other stalls. Seeing this, Xu Tianci lowered his voice and said, "Tell me secretly what you like later, and I'll negotiate the price."

Su Meijuan listened and looked puzzled. "Any explanation?"

“The stall owner will charge a higher price for those who speak Mandarin.”

Su Meijuan understood immediately after hearing this. No wonder her daughter said that just now.

Coincidentally, at a stall in front, Su Meijuan saw the camel coat again, and the material and tailoring were exactly the same as the one she had just seen.

But the difference this time was that it was Xu Tianci who came forward to ask for the price. He asked in authentic Guangzhou dialect: "Boss, how much is this camel coat for?"

"Twenty-five each, and you can get two dollars off if you order more."

After Xu Tianci's translation, Su Meijuan's eyes widened instantly.

Zhang's mouth was so full of shock that it could even fit a duck egg.

She originally thought that fifty yuan was already a good deal, but she didn't expect that just by changing her accent and asking the price, the price would be reduced by half.

This is not doing business, it's clearly robbing money.

No wonder everyone is scrambling to come to Guangzhou. The speed at which they make money is almost the same as robbery.

Su Meijuan suppressed her inner excitement, but her voice still trembled, "Ningning, do you want to call your uncle and Qiu Shuang and ask them if they want to come in too?"

Tang Wanning nodded and agreed without even thinking. Since he was already here, he naturally wanted to maximize his benefits!

"Then I'll give them a call and ask."

"OK!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianci took them directly to the phone booth without waiting for the two to speak. After asking the price, he signaled Tang Wanning that she could make the call.

Seeing this, Tang Wanning thanked him politely and then called his aunt.

"Hello, is this my aunt? I'm Wanning."

"It's me, Wanning. What's the matter with you calling me?"

"Aunt, please stop talking and listen to me."

When Qin Huiru saw her niece's serious tone, her heart skipped a beat and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
