Chapter 118, bargaining
"Miss Boss, how do you sell your trousers and tops?" Qiao Minglang picked out a few pairs of trousers and tops, but he didn't choose a skirt. The two older girls in the family had to help with work, so it must be inconvenient to wear skirts.
Now in August, the weather is getting cold, and the children in their family may not have much clothes to wear.I don't know if the children in their family have grown taller, but considering that children of this age will grow again, they must buy a slightly larger size for clothes.
Thinking about it this way, he realized that he really missed the children at home.
"This pair of pants is 28, and this pair of pants is 25..." The proprietress quoted a bunch of prices.After touching the clothes, Qiao Minglang knew that the boss had deliberately raised the price, and asked, "Can it be cheaper?"
"Then tell me, how much do you give?" the proprietress asked.
"You see, we came to you as soon as we came, and we didn't go anywhere else. We came to buy things sincerely. Madam, at your price, give me a suitable one..." They came here first as soon as they came. In fact, Qiao Minglang also thought that this stall was the largest and had the most clothes.
If he can pick a few more clothes at a time here, he can also talk to the boss about the price, which can be cheaper.
Before them, someone just bought clothes and left. After comparing the prices bought by others, Qiao Minglang had a little idea of the price in his heart, and he cut the price in half in one bite. ? If it can be sold, I will take a few more pieces with you, if not, we will go to another house to see."
"I also do your business with sincerity. Your price is too low. See if you can give me more. The price of these pants is also expensive. Your price is too low. We don't even I can’t make any money back..." The proprietress said a lot, which probably means that your price is too low, and you have added a few dollars to see if you can accept this price.
"Forget it. If you can't sell it, I'll go to another house to see." Qiao Minglang put the clothes in his hand back on the stall, and was about to leave.
They don't have much time for this meeting at noon, and they have to go back to school for class. Instead of wasting time here, they might as well look at the clothes at other stalls.
"Hey, okay, come back, here it is for you, here it is for you." Seeing that he was about to leave, the proprietress called him back.
"I want the few pieces just now." Qiao Minglang turned his head and returned to the stall.
Zhou Xing came back with Qiao Minglang, looked at the clothes he picked out, and muttered in a low voice, "This dress is too ugly", "These pants don't look good at all", "Girls need to wear skirts to look good"...
"Shut up!" Someone kept disliking the clothes he picked out in his ears, Qiao Minglang finally couldn't bear it any longer, and bent his elbow towards someone's stomach forcefully.
He saw that almost all the girls in the school wore such clothes, why couldn't they wear them?It's just what your young master wants to wear!
"Oh!" Zhou Xing covered his stomach with one hand, and pointed at Qiao Minglang with the other, "You... are so poisonous!"
Qiao Minglang gave someone Zhou a look, you deserve it!
"Do you think this size is okay? There is also a larger size, this is a smaller size." The proprietress asked.
"Okay, just take what I just took. I'll see if there are any suitable ones, and I'll pick two more." Qiao Minglang picked two more coats, cut and slashed the price again and again, at an extremely low price. The price bought several clothes.
"You young man, why are you so good at bargaining? If I give you these clothes, I won't make any money. Don't tell others how much I paid for your clothes when you go out, otherwise people will come to bargain with me like this later. , I can’t do this business anymore..." It was the first time that the proprietress saw a young man come to buy clothes for a little girl, and she was so good at bargaining with her, the business didn’t make much money.
However, business is not easy these days. Everyone has some money and is reluctant to buy clothes for the children at home. When those women come to buy clothes, they bargain even harder.
This is a business, as long as there is profit, you can do it.
After paying the money and taking the clothes he just bought, Qiao Minglang turned around and handed them to Zhou Xing, "Hold it for me, I'm going to look at other places." Since this person is so free, help him carry things.
Zhou Xing wanted to stuff the clothes into the car basket, but found that the car basket was a bit small, so he had to hang the bag on the front of the car, and then he pushed the bicycle and followed Qiao Minglang, saying with disgust in his mouth: "Here The clothes don’t look good at all, don’t you really want to go with me to another place to have a look?”
"I guarantee that the clothes over there are definitely better than the ones here..."
"No, I'll just pick a few here." Qiao Minglang continued to walk forward, and when he saw clothes that were acceptable, he went in to have a look, and asked the price by the way.After comparing the prices of the clothes he bought just now, he found that they were more expensive than the clothes he bought just now, so he didn't buy them if he thought it was not worth the money.
Seeing boys' clothes for sale, he went in to look at boys' clothes.
Thinking that the trousers worn by their children are quite short, they need to buy two more pairs of trousers for the children to replace.
"Why do you buy so many clothes?" The fronts of the cars on the left and right are full of things, and the basket in the front is also full of things. Zhou Xing was stunned to see this man looking and buying all the way. , couldn't help asking: "How many brothers and sisters are there in your family?"
"Guess?" Qiao Minglang looked back at Zhou Xing, a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and said, "If you guessed right, I'll treat you to something later."
"Three?" Zhou Xing did the math, there are three people's clothes here, two girls and one girl, so Qiao Minglang's family has two younger brothers and one younger sister?
When Zhou Xing was in school later, he also heard about Qiao Minglang's family. He knew that his parents were gone, and his younger brothers and sisters were still at home.He was the first in the city in the senior high school entrance examination, and was specially recruited into the school by No. [-] Middle School. He had been on TV before, but unfortunately he didn't watch the news at that time.
Looking back later, he couldn't find that edition of the newspaper at that time, so he didn't read the interview about him in detail.As for Qiao Minglang, he still heard other students mention it.
When he first saw this classmate, he still felt that the clothes this person was wearing were too old-fashioned.But after hearing about his family, Zhou Xing could understand why Qiao Minglang was so frugal in life.
But since they knew each other now, he has almost never heard Qiao Minglang mention his family affairs. He only knows that he has a cousin who opened a shop here, and they often go there.Except for asking him to treat him to a meal at the beginning, he was almost eating and drinking afterwards, and the other party still refused to ask for his money.
Every time he asked Qiao Minglang about his younger brothers and sisters, Qiao Minglang deliberately changed the subject and didn't want to talk to him, so he didn't ask much.
This is the first time that Qiao Minglang is willing to talk to him about the family affairs. Does this mean that this person has begun to trust him and regard him as a true friend?Zhou Xing was a little secretly happy.
"No." Qiao Minglang shook his head and continued walking.
Seeing baby clothes for sale, Qiao Minglang went in to have a look, and bought two sets of clothes for the twins, and two extra pairs of trousers.
It was already autumn, and he bought autumn and winter clothes for the children, and he bought a slightly thicker coat.When the weather gets colder, he may come over to buy clothes again.
"Four?" Zhou Xing was even more surprised when he saw Qiao Minglang running to buy clothes for babies, and heard him talking to the boss about buying clothes for a two-year-old child, "Do you still have such a small child in your family?"
Qiao Minglang shook his head again, "It's still not right."
"You have guessed wrong twice, and I will give you one last chance. If you guess wrong again this time, you will treat me to dinner today." He took out the clothes he had chosen, and bargained with the boss one by one.
Just now, he bargained all the way to buy clothes, Qiao Minglang is now very skilled in bargaining skills.
In his previous life, he was a peddler who ran goods everywhere, and he was more sensitive to the price of the goods.After walking through a few stores and comparing them, he can probably guess how much the purchase price of these clothes is. Excluding the cost of travel and labor, he already knows how much he can buy.
"Forget it, forget it, here you are, I have met my opponent today." The boss was almost insane after being bargained, and this kid is too good at bargaining!This price is stuck, if you sell it, you won't make any money, if you don't sell it, if you have money, you won't make any money, and it hurts.
The proprietress can only surrender in the end, and sell it cheaply.
After buying everything, Qiao Minglang was ready to find a place to eat something, "Do you want to eat something, or go to my cousin's place for noodles?" He was afraid that Zhou Xing would follow him to his cousin's place every day Eating noodles, I will get tired after eating for so long, and I want to eat something else.
"Because you have been shopping with me for so long today, let me treat you to something to eat."
"It's not that I missed your question just now. I should treat you to this meal. You said, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you." Zhou Xing was still struggling with how many younger brothers and sisters Qiao Minglang had in his family. Before that, shouldn't you tell me the answer to that question just now?"
"Haha, there are five, two girls, one boy, and a pair of twins below." But when Qiao Minglang bought clothes for the twins just now, they all bought the same clothes, so he finally bought clothes for the two of them.
He found that although the two children are still young, they like to rob things. Buying the same one will prevent them from robbing things.
In the end, he remembered that his uncle's family had two grandchildren, and later Qiao Minglang bought a whole set of clothes for each of the two grandchildren of his uncle's family.Usually he is not at home, so I would like to thank the uncles and uncles for taking care of the children of his family. Since I bought clothes for their children, I will also buy clothes for the uncle's two grandchildren by the way, so that everyone All happy.
In fact, this is the way of being a person and doing things. When others treat you well, you should also treat others well.Otherwise, you will always take other people's things and be stingy in giving them back. In the end, this kind of relationship will often come to an end.
