Su Wanyan was sitting on the box, holding a thermos cup in her hand. Every time she saw someone coming, Jiang Liting still greeted and negotiated the price. She said funnyly:
"Didn't I write it? Why do you keep saying it again, are you so talkative?"
Jiang Liting said: "Daughter-in-law, you overestimate this county. Look at the people coming and going here. Ninety percent of the older ones are illiterate.
At least 50%25 of the younger ones are illiterate. Also, no matter how cheap it is, people want to try and bargain, so it would be better not to mention it as a gift in the first place.
If they make a counter-offer, I can take a step back. If they don't counter-offer, I will still follow the buy-and-give-back model, which saves them from coming back to me if they think the purchase is too expensive. "
Su Wanyan's smile froze:
"Then why didn't you stop me?"
"Our family doesn't lack these two, so it won't matter if we clear out all the items at a loss today."
Su Wanyan's cheeks were slightly hot, he put away the sign, sat quietly next to him, and stopped causing trouble.
In the afternoon, many people from the neighboring county showed up at the temple fair, and the flow of people gradually increased. Many people gathered in front of the stall. Su Wanyan was only responsible for collecting money and giving change.
A middle-aged woman said: "If it's cheaper, I'll buy two sets of buttons and you can give me another set."
Jiang Liting said: "It's not cheap. If you want a good deal, just buy five sets and get two sets for free. Anyway, the price is not much different, and the buttons are very practical."
The woman said: "It's cheaper, young man. Auntie Ming will introduce you to someone."
Jiang Liting said happily:
"No need to bother, the one next to you is my wife."
The middle-aged woman said reluctantly:
"You make it cheaper for me, and I'll introduce you to your wife."
Su Wanyan found it outrageous and funny.
Jiang Liting remained calm and said:
"She and I both have children. We earn two hard-earned dollars. Don't bargain with me."
"I will also introduce one to your child in the future, and you must make it cheaper for me."
"Okay, the daughter-in-law should be beautiful, tall, well-educated, and rich, and the son-in-law should be good-looking, capable, motivated, and have studied abroad. His parents should be honest and reasonable, and he should be very wealthy. It’s better to be an only child.”
The woman's face turned cold and she couldn't stop looking at him. Her expression seemed to be, "How dare you speak?" She handed over thirty cents:
"Buy three, get one free, right? I'm buying a western set."
Su Wanyan smiled and took the money.
Suddenly, someone else said: "The two people in front of me only bought one, so I'll buy another one. It counts as three. You can give me another one."
Jiang Liting said: "Okay, I'll give you a button. If you think it looks good with clothes when you get home, come back and buy it."
The man said: "How can there be such a thing?"
Jiang Liting: "Yes, there is no one like you."
"You didn't say buy three and get one free. Then I happened to buy the third one. Shouldn't you give one away?"
“Isn’t a button called a button?”
After Jiang Liting finished speaking, the man left with an ugly expression. Then he became angry and paid a dime to get a necklace and a button:
"Don't want it for nothing."
"It's all so outrageous."
"What's even more outrageous, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds." Jiang Liting opened the thermos cup and handed it to her. After she drank, she took it back and took a big sip.
"How much does this cost in total?" A man asked as he picked up a pile of gold fake jewelry.
Su Wanyan felt that he had placed a big order, and he happily said:
"It's a total of one dollar and sixty cents. I'll wipe it all over for you. It's one dollar and a half."
The man pretended to dig his pockets, and then said sheepishly: "Oh, I forgot to bring my wallet, but I'm not short of money. Otherwise, I will take it back first and come over to give you money tomorrow."
Su Wanyan's face froze. She spent a long time trying to calculate the most cost-effective price for him, but in the end, he got a free prostitute.
Before she could speak, Jiang Liting said calmly:
"Okay, I'll keep the things for you. You can take them away tomorrow when you bring the money. You have to make this trip tomorrow anyway."
Man: "I'm anxious to put it on now."
"Then you can bring some stuff here. We have so much stuff and we won't run away."
"Can I use this ring?"
Su Wanyan glanced at his faded gold ring and felt angry and wanted to laugh.
Jiang Liting decided not to waste any more words and said:
"Brother, come tomorrow and I'll give you two more."
The man put it down hesitantly:
"I have a lot of brothers. You have to send at least three more."
Jiang Liting said: "Okay, it's settled."
The man touched his pocket again, pretending to be surprised and said: "Hey, I suddenly found money again, and I promised to give you three items."
"Daughter-in-law, collect the money."
Su Wanyan took the money and chuckled twice. He really admired Jiang Liting's sales acumen and neatly packed it with paper.
After a while, someone else said: "Boss, is this gold ring of yours real?"
Jiang Liting said: "Buy more of the same thing. As long as you change it once a month and don't let others check it deliberately, no one will be able to tell it is fake."
"Okay, I think this is the same style as my wife's gold ring. It should fool her for a while."
Su Wanyan had never had such a lot of laughs in her life, but if she thought about it, if she really made a living by setting up a stall, she would definitely not have the same temperament when meeting so many outrageous customers.
There were more and more people, Su Wanyan never stopped collecting money, and Jiang Liting never stopped talking, dealing with a group of all kinds of weirdos by himself.
In the evening, a charming woman said with a charming smile: "Boss, can you wear this bracelet for me?"
Jiang Liting glanced at her clothes and understood at a glance, he said:
"no."
Su Wanyan suddenly said:
"How about I wear it for you?"
The woman's silky eyes were always looking at Jiang Liting and said:
"I want him to wear it for me."
Su Wanyan understood immediately and was a little speechless, while Jiang Liting loaded the goods without raising his head and said:
"Okay, one thousand yuan a time."
"Handsome boy, you are really good at joking." After the woman finished speaking, she twisted her waist and walked around Jiang Liting, smiling coquettishly and saying:
"You said that your wife was pregnant, so you gave me a few for free. I'll have a heart-to-heart talk with you another day."
Su Wanyan's pretty face was as hot as a blazing fire, and he couldn't stop looking at her. She was wearing quite revealing clothes. She didn't look like a woman from a good family, maybe she was engaged in some kind of unhealthy business.
Jiang Liting glanced at Su Wanyan, who was blushing, and said jokingly: "Daughter-in-law, do you know what she does?"
Su Wanyan was stunned for a moment:
"Do you still know her?"
Jiang Liting couldn't laugh anymore. She originally wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect that she was also a topic stopper.
He suppressed his joking and said, "I definitely don't know him."
The woman said displeased: "Hey, are you ready for business?"
Jiang Liting said: "Just take the one you touched just now. I won't be able to sell it later, and I'm afraid I'll get sick from touching it."
The woman threw the bracelet angrily, turned around and left, saying, "What the hell, it doesn't look like a man at all, it's not interesting."
Jiang Liting never admits defeat in a quarrel:
"I don't like you. I have a lot of fun playing with my wife in private."
