Chapter 15: The sky is asking price
Looking at the great-grandfather who looked regretful and disgusted, Yang Xu felt speechless.
I am just a little tired and temporarily lost interest in falling in love. Why did you understand it as Long Yang's favor and the habit of breaking your sleeves?
If you meet a woman who has a good look in the future and has no high demands on material things, I will still marry her.
"I'm talking about love, let's talk about it in the future. I really can't be interested now... I'm leaving..."
Yang Xu was worried that his great-grandfather would say something about marrying his granddaughter to him, and that he would definitely refuse. Everyone would be embarrassed by that time, so he waved his hand to him and fled the scene as if he was flying.
"This kid is walking fast... Hongyu's girl is virtuous and kind, IKEA and Yishi, isn't she good?"
When the great-grandfather saw Yang Xu walking away like a flood and a beast, he twisted his beard and said to himself.

"Walking by, don't miss it... This comb is not expensive, it's a good baby if you buy it..."
"This boxwood comb can remove wind and dampness, clear heat and detoxify, improve sleep, prolong life..."
"Every small things here only cost one or two silver dollars each! One or two silver dollars, you can't buy a house, but you can buy comfort and health..."
"You see it in your eyes and think in your heart, one or two silvers is really worth it..."
"Look, take a look, there is no such store after passing this village..."
"If you need to take action, you should take action. There are opportunities every day..."
"Produced by Yangjiazhai, it must be a fine product..."
In the afternoon, the sun was warm and a few men from Yangjiazhai lined up in a row at a corner of Jinyang City, shouting hard.
On the ground in front of them, dozens of wooden or bamboo daily necessities and handicrafts were arranged in a row, especially some small hand-carved objects, which were unique and exaggerated, and cute, which attracted some people's attention.
"Dazhi, do you think it's effective for us to shout like this? Will anyone come and buy it? These wood and bamboo are things that no one wants in our Yangjia Village..."
Yang Fugui shouted for a while, and when he saw no one coming, he couldn't help scratching his head and whispered to Yang Dazhi beside him.
Since Yang Dazhi cured his mother's illness by Yang Xu, he respected Yang Xu as a god and said, "Mr. Yang said it works, that will definitely work!"
Yang Xing, who was standing by, carefully observed the passers-by. Seeing some of them stopping and watching, they seemed to be moving, they felt like they had a door, so they shouted in a low voice: "Everyone is cheered up and continue shouting as Mr. Yang told me. Mr. Yang said that if we could sell these things, we would cut some meat and buy some wine to go back, so that everyone could taste it!"
Several men from Yangjiazhai had never tasted wine and meat for countless days. When they heard Yang Xing's words, their eyes lit up and they couldn't help but lick their lips.
A moment later, a pair of passers-by, like father and son, were all wearing gorgeous clothes, obviously from a wealthy family.
The little boy was sitting on his father's shoulder and looked around. After seeing the small objects placed here, he immediately slid down from his father, ran to the front, pointed at a wooden carved tiger, turned his head to the father who was following him, and said, "Dad, I want that little tiger!"
"How to sell this thing?"
The little boy's father walked up, squatted down and picked up the wooden carved tiger and looked at it. A strange color flashed through his eyes, as if he was quite novel about this exquisite and cute carved object.
He is a businessman, traveling around the world and seeing all kinds of tiger-shaped wood carvings, but he has never seen such small and exquisite shapes as before, and his cute shapes. No wonder his kid fell in love with them at a glance.
"This official invited me. Our tiger carving is made of boxwood... Boxwood has the effects of repelling mosquitoes and relieving itching, promoting blood circulation, and eliminating demons and evil spirits. Children often play with it, which has many benefits..."
Yang Xing was not in a hurry to offer a price, and he first tried his best to brag about the various benefits of this boxwood tiger carving.
This was specifically explained to Yang Xu before leaving, asking him to try to exaggerate the benefits of something before selling it, and then increase the price. In this way, the chance of selling it and selling it at a good price may increase a few points.
According to Yang Xu, he could ask for a price everywhere, and the buyer could pay it back on the spot. In the end, both parties completed the transaction at a suitable price, and everyone was happy.
As a businessman, the little boy's father would certainly not be fooled by Yang Xing's words. However, the saying that boxwood can drive away demons and ward off evil spirits is always legendary among the people of Zhao State, and some wealthy families really believe this, so he has raised the price of the boxwood tiger carving in his heart.
"Okay, okay... You and I are both doing business. You don't need to talk about the fake ones, just tell me the real price! If it's appropriate, I will take this thing!"
The little boy's father waved his hand impatiently, stopping Yang Xing from continuing.
"The boxwood is hard to get, and it takes a lot of energy and time to carve and shape it, and polish it smoothly... Look at the fact that you are a real person, we lose money, and you can sell it to you for five taels of silver..."
When Yang Xing said these words, he looked at the ground, and he had no confidence in his heart.
If he was the buyer and the other party dared to ask for the price like this, he would have to say a look on the other party, and then add a sentence: "Will you dare to ask for a small thing carved from a broken piece of wood? Are you crazy about money?"
"What? Five taels of silver? Why don't you snatch it? Don't buy it anymore... Don't buy it anymore..."
Sure enough, when the little boy's father heard this, his eyes widened and shouted in dissatisfaction, pulling his son to leave.
But the little boy stopped doing it, broke away from his father's hand, lay on the ground and began to roll on, crying loudly.
The little boy's father was not really about to leave, he just wanted to lower the price. Seeing that his son did not cooperate with him, his face looked a little ugly.
But he had a middle-aged son and was extremely doting on his son. Seeing this, he had to whisper a few words, then said to Yang Xing with a gloomy face: "Five liang is too expensive, I will give you one liang at most!"
When Yang Xing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and admired Yang Xu more and more.
Yang Dazhi was stunned. Unexpectedly, someone actually bought the things Mr. Yang made in his spare time, and even gave him a price of one or two silver taels.
A small thing costs one tael of silver, which is the bottom line set by Mr. Yang for them. At this moment, looking at the buyer's appearance, it seems that the price can be discussed upwards?
Yang Fugui was so happy that his mouth almost reached his ears. Fortunately, he turned his head in time and was not seen by others.
"Looking at the outsider, you really want to buy it, so I'll take a step back. Give it four liang..."
Yang Xing finally suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be painful on his face.
The little boy's father snorted: "One or five cents, no more!"
Yang Xing sighed: "Sanliang... I really can't do it if I have fewer!"
After some bargaining, the boxwood tiger carving was finally sold for two taels of silver.
Seeing the little boy leaving happily with his father with a boxwood tiger eagle, Yang Xing pinched the broken silver in his hand, unable to believe that it was true.
Yang Fugui looked at the broken silver in Yang Xing's hand, his eyes widened. Seeing the father and son walking away, he finally couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and laughed to the sky.
His laughter was like a muffled thunder. If Yang Xing hadn't stopped him in time, he would have attracted many attention.
"A little tiger carving sold for two taels of silver... There are more than twenty pieces here..."
Yang Dazhi looked at the small objects placed in front of him, as if they had turned into pieces of silver.
