Chapter 764: Fifteen cents or a dime?
Xu Wanning's big hands gently rubbed the small knots on Jin Chu's head, and comforted her softly: "Jin Chu is right, and you are right too. Chu Nian did nothing wrong, but you guys are just right." We should consider this issue from a different standpoint. "
Xu Wanning never thought that the two children were too young and would not understand the truth.
And this incident can be used to educate them.
"Sweet potatoes are not expensive, but the old man who sells them for 50 cents is really taking advantage of the situation, because the sweet potatoes are not worth the price at all. Jinchu's starting point is that he feels sorry for his elders' hard work in making money, so it is right not to buy sweet potatoes."
" Chu Nian thinks that the money is not something we can't afford. Compared with the elders and family members who have broken the promise, it is not unacceptable to spend a lot of money to buy roasted sweet potatoes. " Chu Nian didn't do anything wrong."
"I'm going to tell you today. Things in this world are not black and white. Everything has multiple sides. Whether it is Jin Chu, you or Chu Nian, your thoughts are correct. As bystanders, no one can judge what you do. What's wrong?"
"But next time you encounter a similar situation, you can also think about it appropriately. For example, although the thing you bought is expensive and exceeds your psychological expectations, it is worth the price. Then you can consider buying it. "
But first of all, remember that it is important to promise others things, but if something happens for a reason, it is understandable that you can't complete it. As long as you explain it well to the person afterwards. , and just make up for it in other ways, you don’t have to pay something unequal to fulfill your promise, understand? "
Jin Chu and Chu Nian are still only a few years old, and they are fascinated by some truths. They were confused, half-understood, and did not quite understand the meaning behind Xu Wanning's words, but this did not prevent them from being obedient and good babies.
Seeing both sisters nodding, Xu Wanning turned her attention to the other two.
"Did Song Han and Chu Lin understand?"
Song Han also nodded very solemnly: "Mom, I understand. When encountering embarrassing things in the future, I should consider it from several angles and strive to be the best person. The right decision."
Chu Lin tilted his head and said, "Ordinary roasted sweet potatoes cost only 15 cents, and the larger ones don't cost more than 15 cents. He has the nerve to ask for a high price, so why can't we bargain?"
"He must have seen that Sister Jinchu and Sister Chu Nian are both children, so he wanted to take the opportunity to make some money, but we can also bargain."
Xu Wanning:...
She forgot that she also has a little girl who enjoys bargaining for life. nephew!
"Then Chu Lin, do you want to give it a try and see if you can lower the price?"
"Okay, then I'll give it a try!"
Chu Lin ran to the stall selling roasted sweet potatoes with his short legs. .
But he was too short and the boss couldn't see him at all.
Chu Lin had no choice but to walk by and point to the roasted sweet potatoes in the oven: "Grandpa, do you sell your roasted sweet potatoes for 10 cents or 15 cents each?"
"The bigger ones are 15 cents, and the smaller ones are 10 cents. "The boss responded lazily.
Chu Lin quickly took out the thirty cents, "Then I want the two biggest ones!"
The boss didn't expect Chu Lin to take out the money directly, and smiled and stretched out his hand to take the money, but Chu Lin retracted his hand, " Please help me load the roasted sweet potatoes first."
The boss's turbid eyes turned around in front of the oven, and he packed two and handed them to Chu Lin.
Chu Lin took it cheerfully, then took out a dime and put it in his jacket pocket, and put the two cents on the table.
"Hey kid, it's only 15 cents each!"
Chu Lin blinked at him with her big eyes, "But the big ones only cost 15 cents, and I'm the youngest of the two."
It was hard for the boss. From the pile of roasted sweet potatoes, I picked out the two smallest ones and gave them to him!
Do you really think he is still a child of four or five years old?
Chu Lin didn't look at the boss's livid face, and ran towards the adults with two roasted sweet potatoes in his arms.
"I bought roasted sweet potatoes, two for 20 cents. It's just that the boss bullied the children and picked the two youngest ones for me!"
Jinchu curled his lips, and there was already a mist in his eyes: "Sister Chu Nian and I went to buy it, and he asked us for fifty cents. Why can brother Chu Lin buy it for two cents?"
"Why don't Jin Chu ask Chu Lin how he bought it?"
Jin Chu immediately asked Chu Lin. Look at Chu Lin.
Chu Lin didn't know what he was talking about and said stupidly: "I asked him whether it was sold for 10 cents or 15 cents. I heard Zhuang Zhuang say before that when he went to the street, he bought a roasted sweet potato for 15 cents and was beaten when he got home. His mother smoked a bamboo stick. Isn’t it the same price?”
“The price is indeed this price, but the answer will be different depending on the way you ask.”
It can only be said that not everyone . The elderly are all worthy of respect. There is no respect for the elderly, and there is no businessman without treachery. This is vividly reflected in the boss.
Chu Lin handed two roasted sweet potatoes to Mother Lin: "Grandma, can you give us a share of the sweet potatoes, okay?"
Mother Lin held two steaming roasted sweet potatoes in her hands, filled with emotion.
"The villagers in Dajiang Village never imagined that sweet potatoes, which are almost free, can be sold for ten cents each in Beijing."
Sweet potatoes are big and heavy, and there are only two or three sweet potatoes in a pound.
But a dime can buy a lot!
This is a huge profit!
Xu Wanning smiled and said: "Nowadays, the atmosphere is open and free trade is allowed. There are business opportunities everywhere. As long as you work hard and are sincere and don't fool people, you can make money no matter what."
It's just the difference between more and less.
Those who earn less need not be too envious of those who earn more.
After all, for families who earn more, the costs are naturally higher, and the initial investment is even more prohibitive.
"But roasted sweet potatoes are only a rare treat. People who are not short of money will occasionally buy one to have a try. What's more, there is only some business in the three or four months of winter. Once the weather gets warmer, they will not be sold. "
But this roasted sweet potato smells really good." Mother Lin divided the two roasted sweet potatoes into four equal parts and gave each child half.
Chu Lin held his half of roasted sweet potato and stretched out his chubby little hand towards Jin Chu.
"What?" Jinchu looked at him confused.
Chu Lin took a big bite of the roasted sweet potato and slurred: "The roasted sweet potato is what Sister Jinchu said she would treat everyone to eat. Although I bought it, my sister has to pay me back the money I paid in advance." It was
a full two dollars . It’s dime!
Hearing this, Jinchu hurriedly handed Chu Lin 30 cents: "Here you go. There is also 10 cents for your errands.
