Chapter 734 Down-to-earth Shopping
"Pyramid?" Li Jinxing was visiting a market like this for the first time, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You sell pyramids here?"
"Of course, big or small, any size you want!"
The man nodded quickly, smiled, and picked up several pyramid models of different sizes from the stall and brought them to Li Jinxing: "Take a look, which one do you like?"
Li Jinxing finally understood that the pyramid he was talking about was actually a model. He reached out and took one, knocking on it. He thought it was well made, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a smile, "How much is this?"
"Thirty dollars..." The man said this, and seeing Li Jinxing frowning slightly, he quickly changed his words and said, "Fifteen dollars..."
Li Jinxing couldn't help but laugh. Before he even opened his mouth, the vendor had already bargained the price in half!
"Uncle, your price is a bit high..." Nie Yao curled her lips and said thoughtfully, "Such a small pyramid model doesn't need fifteen dollars!"
"What about the ten dollars?" the middle-aged man asked hesitantly, as if he was still asking Nie Yao's opinion.
Nie Yao still shook her head stubbornly, refusing the price and said directly: "Five dollars!"
"Five dollars? That's too low..." The shopkeeper felt a little sorry for Nie Yao's aggressive bargaining. Nie Yao raised his chin and said seriously, "Uncle, I'm only willing to spend five dollars on this model. What should I do? I don't have any more money!"
"Okay, five dollars is five dollars!" The owner gritted his teeth and finally agreed to Nie Yao's bargaining. He handed the pyramid model to Nie Yao and took the five dollars handed to him by Nie Yao.
Li Jinxing couldn't help but shake his head in amusement as he watched Nie Yao buy something at such a low price. Then he looked at the shopkeeper, who didn't seem to be frowning at all. Instead, he asked excitedly, "Why don't you buy some other souvenirs? This turtle is also very well made. Its head can move, and its shell can be opened..."
He picked up the turtle and began to explain it to Nie Yao. Seeing that Nie Yao wasn't interested, he picked up a copper-gilded scarab and said with a smile, "What about the scarab? It's our lucky charm here. Buy it to bring you wealth!"
Nie Yao thought the scarab model was well made and started a new round of bargaining.
Finally, she spent twenty dollars to buy a few special models and a small Sphinx keychain, and then she and Li Jinxing left with a smile.
"Yaoyao, it turns out you are so good at bargaining..." Li Jinxing joked with a smile.
Nie Yao blinked and explained to Li Jinxing, "It's not that I'm good at bargaining, but sometimes people in the market here tend to quote random prices. Especially when they see us dressed like this, they think we're tourists and just give us a random price. I also bargain based on local characteristics!"
"So there are such rules!" Li Jinxing nodded in sudden enlightenment and chuckled softly, "It seems you have a lot of experience..."
"Of course, I've been to markets like this many times!"
Nie Yao nodded, pulled Li Jinxing's hand, and said with a smile, "This is your first time here. You will learn more in the future!"
Li Jinxing couldn't help laughing. He held the purchased items in one hand and held Nie Yao tightly with the other hand. In this bustling market, he had a different experience.
She was right. This was the first time in his life that he had visited such a crowded market.
