Chapter 71 Being Taken for a Sucker
It was Xu Youyou’s first time to enter the flower and bird market.
It is called a market, but in fact it is just a long street. However, there are several large stone balls outside the market, so cars cannot drive in.
Most of the shops on both sides of the street sell flowers and potted plants or birds, animals, fish and insects. There are not many customers in the market at this time, and the sounds of birds are louder than human voices.
"Congratulations on your prosperity! Congratulations on your prosperity!"
Xu Youyou followed the system instructions and took only two steps when she heard a shrill voice. She looked up and saw that the person speaking was not a human.
It was a brightly colored green parrot.
The store where the green-feathered parrot is located seems to specialize in selling all kinds of flowers and plants, except for a birdcage hanging at the entrance, with a green-feathered parrot jumping around in it.
The green-feathered parrot's two mung bean-like eyes were now looking at Xu Youyou.
The boss was so ashamed of his pet's behavior that he cursed, "You little beast, you get so excited every time you see a beautiful woman. I treat you to delicious food and drinks every day, but you never wish me good fortune!"
Xu Youyou asked the four bodyguards to stay outside, and she took Xu Fang into the store.
"Beauty, do you want to buy any flowers? We have a new batch of orchids in our store. Each one is so beautiful. You can take a look." The boss greeted.
Xu Youyou's eyes wandered around the store, and after a circle, they finally fell on the pot of blooming Jianlan below the parrot.
She glanced casually at the purple-red flowerpot under the Jianlan, then raised her eyes and pretended to admire the orchid.
"This flower is blooming so beautifully, and it smells so good. It must be a very expensive variety." Xu Youyou deliberately pretended to be innocent when she spoke. She looked so clear and stupid, like a college student who has not yet graduated.
The boss looked at Xu Youyou's young face, his eyes rolled, and he said casually: "Beauty, you guessed it right. If you want it, I'll sell it to you at a discount of one thousand yuan."
Xu Youyou agreed directly: "Okay."
The boss regretted hearing this. He thought Xu Youyou was young and thin-skinned and could be easily fooled. He asked for a sky-high price for a piece of Jianlan that cost only a few dozen yuan. He didn't expect Xu Youyou to be so naive that she agreed directly.
If he had known this, he would have offered ten thousand.
Xu Youyou added: "Then I will just move the flowers and the pots away."
The boss was about to agree, but suddenly his eyes rolled and he said, "No, this flowerpot is a family heirloom. If you want to buy it, you have to pay extra."
The boss felt that he was not lying, after all, the flower pot was passed down to him by his father.
His father was a burglar in his early years. He took advantage of the chaos and war to steal a pot of expensive flowers from a wealthy family.
Unfortunately, the so-called expensive flowers died before his father sold them, so the flowerpots were left behind.
Xu Youyou's eyebrows jumped, and she immediately said, "Will the orchid be damaged if it is transplanted suddenly? This pot of flowers is the most lively thing in your store. What if it dies?"
Seeing the boss anxious, Xu Fang immediately criticized him, "What flower shop doesn't send pots?"
The boss picked up a plastic flower pot nearby and said, "This is the pot we gave you!"
Xu Youyou frowned slightly: "I don't want this kind of shabby flowerpot. I'm really afraid that my precious orchid will die after transplanting. Can't you just name a price and I'll buy this flowerpot?"
The shop owner's eyes flashed with greed: "This is a flower pot passed down from our ancestors. I won't sell it for less than 30,000 yuan!"
"There are plenty of flower pots like this on the market. How can you ask for so much money? Just give us an honest price, or we won't even buy the orchids!" Xu Fang said.
Xu Youyou was also very cooperative, after all, she hadn't paid Lanhua yet.
The boss was anxious: "You guys are really bad tempered. I didn't lie. This thing is really an old item. It has been in my house for at least forty years."
"What's so old about forty years? Look at the mud spots on it, it's so dirty!" Xu Fang said.
The boss said helplessly: "Take the 10,000 yuan."
Xu Fang said firmly: "One hundred yuan, no more!"
Xu Youyou was also shocked when she saw Xu Fang's extraordinary fighting ability. The bargaining directly hit the aorta.
The boss was actually tempted for a moment. After all, this flowerpot was picked up by his father. He never thought that this dirty flowerpot covered in mud and whose original color could not be seen was valuable. He would make a profit no matter what price he offered.
But in business, the brave ones will die of overeating, while the timid ones will die of starvation. The boss gritted his teeth and said, "Too low, five thousand."
"Two hundred, no more. Our money didn't come from the wind!"
The boss's psychological price had long been defeated, but he still pretended to be in pain: "One thousand, at least one thousand!"
Xu Fang wanted to bargain, but Xu Youyou acted very happy and said, "Okay!"
Xu Fang looked at Xu Youyou in surprise.
Xu Youyou pretended to be innocent and said, "We only spent one thousand yuan to buy the thirty thousand yuan flower pot. My parents will definitely praise me a lot when we go back!"
Xu Fang had no idea what Xu Youyou was up to. She had been with Xu Youyou for such a long time but had never met Xu Youyou's parents. But she didn't expose her. Instead, the shop owner couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Xu Fang with sympathy, thinking that she had met a bad teammate.
After paying the money, Xu Youyou deliberately said, "Give me a receipt so I can ask my family for money later."
The boss thought Xu Youyou was a young lady who was out of touch with the world. He took out the receipt on the spot and wrote "Jianlan" on the item column with a smile.
Xu Youyou said, "The flower pots should also be added."
The boss didn't understand what her problem was, but since he was the one paying, he honestly added these two things.
"Do you want the nutrient solution? Fifty-nine dollars and nine cents a bottle, it's a good deal." The boss remained calm and sold the nutrient solution, which was five dollars a bottle, to Xu Youyou at ten times the price.
Xu Youyou still pretended to be innocent: "Two bottles for one hundred yuan... forget it... Did I bargain too much?"
The boss was delighted to see her innocent and foolish appearance, and said, "I like you, so I'll sell two bottles to you for 100 yuan at a loss."
Xu Youyou was immediately delighted and said sincerely, "Thank you. I need a receipt for this, too. I want to prove to my parents that I don't just spend money recklessly."
The boss believed in Xu Youyou's rich daughter character and felt that she was easy to deceive. He tried to fleece her: "Do you want a small shovel? Do you want a watering can? The quality of my products is very high. People who bought them all praised them."
Xu Youyou was surprisingly cooperative. Not only did she buy the flower-growing gift package, she even set her eyes on the parrot: "Do you want to sell the parrot?"
