"Auntie! You can't tease me like that! Let me tell you the truth, not even half a jin of these seeds, not even half an ounce, would cost twenty-four coins! These seeds are one hundred coins each, no bargaining!"
Xiao Er was really afraid that if the old lady kept talking, she would confuse him and make him lose his bearings. If he agreed to something recklessly, he wouldn't be able to afford the consequences.
Before Yue Jiuyue could say anything, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side. The woman was standing right behind Yue Jiuyue. Her loud voice startled Yue Jiuyue, and then her ears started ringing.
"One hundred coins for each kind! You're robbing me!"
See? This is the real reaction of the people in town when they hear the price. That's why the waiter was so kind to Yue Jiuyue to buy something else, just in case this happened.
"No, ma'am..."
The waiter was about to explain when the other party retorted and he couldn't continue.
"Auntie? Who are you calling auntie! I'm just an aunt at most!"
Besides, we're all farmers, and life isn't easy for anyone. How can you cheat people like this? There are only a few of these seeds, yet you're asking for a hundred coins. Even robbery isn't done like this!
Even if it's something grown by wealthy families, this is still in our town. How can you calculate it at the price you'd pay a rich family? If that's how it's calculated, does that mean I don't have to pay for this coarse grain? After all, rich people don't eat this stuff, right?"
The woman launched into a furious tirade, leaving the waiter even more bewildered than before, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.
Yue Jiuyue found this girl really interesting. If she were in modern times, she would definitely be a master at bargaining! You know, in those clothing stores, clothes often cost hundreds of dollars, and those who are good at bargaining start from the ankle.
Yue Jiuyue used to be a bargainer, after all, she was never stingy with money, she really had to stretch every penny.
But she felt that she was inferior to this woman.
The key point is, that woman is still continuing.
"Even if this handful of seeds is expensive, you can't sell it for half a tael of silver, can you? And don't try to charge 100 coins for everything. There's nothing that expensive in our town. Even if you eat at a restaurant, a meal only costs a few dozen coins. You can't be asking for too much, can you? 100 coins in total, just sell it to this lady... young lady!"
The woman looked at Yue Jiuyue's face and felt guilty calling her "sister" because Yue Jiuyue looked younger than her. She could only pinch her nose and call her "little sister".
Yue Jiuyue originally thought that the woman was a kind-hearted person who would speak up for justice. She didn't expect that the woman would actually start bargaining seriously, which made her think that the woman also had her eye on these seeds. She was thinking about how to persuade the woman to share half with her later. But it turned out that the woman was really a kind-hearted person who was just helping her bargain.
"Thanks, sis! I wonder if you'd like these seeds? How about we split them in half?"
She didn't lack seeds, so it didn't matter how many there were; she just needed an excuse to take the seeds out.
"No need, no need! I don't know how to grow anything. All those flowers and plants die as soon as I plant them, so I won't bother."
What girl doesn't love flowers of all shapes and colors? It's just that some people are like plant killers, unable to grow anything.
