Chapter 149 The stingy old man

Brother Tang thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we wait for two more days? Didn't you say a while ago that we should go to the bean fields to collect some bean worms and send them to the Lin Mansion? Let's go and take a look tomorrow."

Brother Tang San disagreed: "It hasn't rained much this year, so how can there be bean worms?"

Brother Tang glanced at his sister subconsciously.

The second brother said, "What are you thinking? Instead of hoping for a good bean harvest, you're hoping for bean worms!"

Brother Tang thought so too. Even if Xinbao was blessed, it should be a good bean harvest. Wouldn't bean worms mean disaster? He thought too much and laughed twice. He rubbed Tuanzi's little head casually. The key point was that he rubbed it in a circle with his big hands...

The dumpling, who was concentrating on admiring the ancient peony, was rubbed to the side and looked up at him: "...Huh?"

Yan Shen calmly pulled her to his side.

Brother Tang San happened to see this and immediately became unhappy. He reached out to pull his sister. Yan Xiaolang looked straight ahead, and his hand holding Tuanzi's shoulder did not move at all.

Then Brother Tang San bent down, picked up his sister and gave Yan Shenjue a look of contempt.

Yan Xiaolang silently withdrew his hand, clenched his fist, and put it behind his back.

The second elder brother, who watched the entire pantomime, sighed maturely.

I have never seen such a childish and boring person.

Yuan Yaochu was very excited: "Tang San, let's go sell them tomorrow! I have never sold flowers before!"

Brother Tang San said: "Okay!"

Brother Tang thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go to the fields, you guys go ahead and don't cause any trouble."

"Don't worry!" Yuan Yaochu said, "Am I that kind of person?"

Fourth Brother Tang said, "I'll go too. Will Xinbao go too?"

Xinbao shook his head: "Xinbao wants to learn martial arts, so he doesn't have time."

Yan Shenjue's mouth corners curved slightly.

So it was decided, and then four pots were picked out and given to the Yuan family, and another four pots were picked out and kept, ready to be placed at home when the new house was built.

There are nine pots left. They are prepared to ask for fifty taels for each pot. If they buy all of them, it will be two hundred taels, and if they buy one individually, the minimum price is thirty taels. If they can sell them, they will sell them. If they can't, forget it.

After the discussion, the two idiots left it alone. Instead, Fourth Brother Tang came over to ask, "Xiao Jue, can you tell me something about this flower?"

"I don't know much," Yan Shenjue said, "The first-grade green flower is like a hydrangea, with a clear and beautiful color. It is rare in the world and is known as the 'national beauty and heavenly fragrance'. There are ten famous varieties of peony, namely Yaohuang, Weizi, Erqiao, Doulu... People often mistake Doulu for first-grade green. In fact, Doulu is a yellowish green, not as pure and clear as first-grade green..."

So he talked on and on for more than a quarter of an hour.

Fourth Brother Tang was very serious and attentive when it came to business. As he spoke, he recited silently with his lips slightly moving.

There is a place dedicated to selling flowers in the county town. When Yuan Yaochu arrived, Brother Yuan's people had already found a place. They set up their stall and started buying flowers from other people's stalls. There was a special "flower cart" with many shelves layered on top of each other. The few small pots they had on the ground looked quite shabby.

After a night, Fourth Brother Tang had integrated the knowledge that Yan Shenjue had told him into his own language. Whenever someone came over, he would introduce it to them.

Most of the people who came to the flower market knew something about flowers, so quite a few people stopped to listen. Within an hour, someone took out some silver, reluctantly bought two pots, and charged him fifty taels.

After the initial victory, everyone was very excited.

To be honest, these pots of flowers are not that big. If they were asked to look at them, spending fifty taels to buy two pots of flowers would be outrageous! Five taels is outrageous! I wouldn't buy them for five cents! But obviously, in the eyes of flower lovers, they think these flowers are worth the price! The fourth brother's eyes were shining with excitement. On this morning, he suddenly realized the knowledge that "good things can only be sold at a good price and sell well if they find the right customers."

After that, many people asked for the price, but no one bought it.

It was not until almost noon that the fourth brother suddenly saw a familiar face.

He was a little old man with a goatee. When the fourth brother saw him, his expression changed subtly.

He knew this old guy, and he was really picky.

I bought a wrapped candy and gave it to him normally, but he complained it was too small. Even after I rewrapped it, he still complained it was too small. So when I sold it to him, I had to add an extra stick and choose a little more.

That's fine, they sold a few bunches of leeks at first, because they were still in front of Shen's store at that time, but they were afraid of wasting them, so they sold some of them as well. If they were sold at a low price, he would spread two bundles of leeks on the ground in the street and make a good bundle of leeks.

Anyway, the impression was so deep that I was really afraid of him.

So Fourth Brother Tang didn't greet him either.

Unexpectedly, the man with the goatee's eyes lit up and ran straight to their stall. He held up a basin with both hands, as if he was going to snatch it away, and said, "It's really first-class jade! It's really first-class jade!!"

He didn't need anyone to invite him, he just sat down, looking at it with shining eyes and exclaiming in admiration.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

They looked at all the pots one by one, and the three of them exchanged glances silently.

Yuan Yaochu looked at him and said, "Ask for more silver." Brother Tang shook his head slightly, indicating that he was afraid that was not possible.

The three of them couldn't get a word in, so they just looked at him like crazy for a long time, and then he asked, "How much silver?"

The fourth brother said with a smile on his face: "Sir, I know you. You often come to take care of my business when I sell candy. I sell it to others for fifty taels, but you are a regular customer, so I will sell it for thirty taels per pot, no bargaining."

The goatee exclaimed, "Thirty taels!!"

Brother Si thought to himself that it was indeed the case, and was just about to talk to him about the importance of Yipin Bi...

The goatee said in great surprise: "I want them all!!"

As if he was afraid that they would go back on their word, he quickly took out the silver, not even bothering to pay the ten taels, and then waved his hand: "Go, send it back to me!!"

The fourth brother tried hard to control himself and not be stunned.

Is this still the same stingy old man who haggles over every penny? ?

Goatbeard kept urging them to put the flowers on the board and carry them along with him. Goatbeard kept muttering something along the way, which roughly meant...

Such a precious flower, unfortunately it has not fallen into the hands of a wise owner. This small pot is a priceless treasure, and you only sold it for thirty taels. This is simply a waste of natural resources. I am simply picking up money, hahahahaha... But I have already bought it and you can't regret it. I am just teaching you a lesson and you must remember it in the future, blah blah...

Been taught a lesson.

Fourth Brother Tang thought to himself, I have really learned a lesson.

The group was halfway there when they met his servants, who directly handed the board to them. As they watched them carry the board away, Goatbeard was in high spirits, dancing with joy, and was obviously very excited.

Then the three of them exchanged glances.

Two hundred and sixty taels, earned so easily? ? At this moment, even Tiehanhan had an idea: to plant flowers.

In the greenhouse, you can grow flowers and sell them. Isn’t it more profitable than growing vegetables? ?
