Chapter 3 Selling Rabbit Skins

Chen Xiaomei ignored her and walked to the kitchen on her own.

We had brown rice soup in the evening. After eating, Luo's mother peeled off the rabbit skin. Everyone went to bed early.

The two of them went to the town early the next morning. They had to walk to the town, and it took more than an hour to get there.

Chen Xiaomei thought to herself: "It's better to sell the honeysuckle as soon as possible. It will be convenient to exchange it for silver. I don't want to drink rice soup every day."

Then Chen Xiaomei carried a basket of honeysuckle on her back, and Luo's mother carried a rabbit skin, and they walked towards the town.

She didn't meet anyone along the way, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't talk much. After arriving in the town, Chen Xiaomei found that this town was indeed much better than the village.

This town is called Qingshi Town. There is a market every day. It is divided into two main streets: east and west. The street on the west is mainly for ordinary people to buy and sell things, while the street on the east is where wealthy people live.

When they arrived in the town, Chen Xiaomei said, "Mom, let's sell the honeysuckle first. If we don't sell it, we will lose money!" Luo's mother said, "I know there is a medicine hall nearby! Come with me!"

After walking for a while, she saw a medicine hall not far away, with the three characters "Huiren Hall" written on the plaque. Chen Xiaomei thought that the characters "Da Shunguo" were not particularly difficult to read.

Then I walked into the medicine hall.

When the waiter came over, he saw that the two countrymen were wearing old clothes and had patches on their bodies. He thought that they would not be willing to spend money.

However, their shopkeeper has warned that everyone who comes is a guest and cannot judge people by their appearance.

Then the waiter came up and asked: "Are you two seeing a doctor or taking medicine?" Chen Xiaomei looked around and said to the waiter: "Brother, we have some medicinal materials here, do you accept them here?"

"

The waiter looked at the basket and said, "I'll ask my shopkeeper to come over and take a look at this."

The shopkeeper of the drugstore was named Li. When shopkeeper Li heard about it, he came over to see that the honeysuckle was in good condition.

Then he asked Chen Xiaomei: "Little lady, I charge you 30 yuan for a basket of honeysuckle like this. What do you think?"

Just as Luo Mu was about to open her mouth to speak, she was pulled by Chen Xiaomei and she quickly shut up.

When Chen Xiaomei heard what the shopkeeper said, she silently calculated in her mind: A basket with 30 coins would cost 30 yuan. Now, it would be 30 yuan. 30 yuan for a full basket is a bit low.

Then, she didn't speak either.

The shopkeeper saw that Chen Xiaomei was silent and couldn't hold it in anymore. He continued, "Let's do this. I'll give you 35 cents for a basket. If you pick this kind of honeysuckle in the future, you must sell it to me."

Chen Xiaomei thought: "The shopkeeper himself has started to increase the price, so should I increase the price?"

Chen Xiaomei thought about it and said, "Shopkeeper, you are not being honest. I want to sell it to you sincerely. Why didn't you give me a real price at the beginning?"

Seeing that shopkeeper Li didn't say anything, she continued, "Well, I won't ask you for anything more. I only carry a basket of 40 cents. If you think it's okay, then I'll sell you all the honeysuckle in the future!"

"Then if the shopkeeper feels that he is at a loss, I can still go over there. I see there are several medicine halls over there. I just think your place is more practical, so I want to sell honeysuckle to you!"

After hearing what Chen Xiaomei said, the shopkeeper thought: This little girl is really smart. I won't lose 40 yuan, but I will make less. If I collect it more often in the future, I can still make a profit.

So shopkeeper Li said: "Okay! 40 coins per basket, and from now on all the honeysuckle will be sold to me."

Chen Xiaomei happily agreed.

This shocked Mother Luo next to her. Mother Luo thought to herself: I didn’t expect that these ordinary little flowers could be sold for 40 cents. Wouldn’t those on the mountain be exchanged for a lot of money?

?

At this time, the shopkeeper asked the waiter to collect the honeysuckle and gave Chen Xiaomei 40 yuan. Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left happily.

After leaving the medicine hall, Luo's mother asked: "Xiaomei, how do you know that you can sell it for money?"

Chen Xiaomei thought to herself that I am a person in the 21st century, so of course I would know. But she couldn't tell Luo's mother like this, so she lied and said: "I heard a charlatan say before that when I saw this honeysuckle on the mountain that day, he described it to me.

It was almost the same, so I thought about picking it myself to see if I could sell it, but to my surprise, I actually sold it."

Then Chen Xiaomei said to Luo's mother: "Mom, let's go sell the rabbit skin!"

Before Luo Mu could answer, she was pulled by Chen Xiaomei towards the clothes store.

After walking a few steps, she saw a shawl made of fox fur at the door of the store. It was very beautiful and the texture was particularly good. Chen Xiaomei was so greedy that she reached out and touched it.

When the boss saw it, he said to Chen Xiaomei: "You can't touch this casually. If you touch it dirty, I won't be able to sell it. Why don't you go over there and have a look, and don't touch this casually."

Chen Xiaomei was very disdainful when she heard what her boss said. She was about to say something to her boss, but was dragged away by Luo's mother.

When walking to another store, the owner of this store saw Chen Xiaomei coming and greeted her warmly: "Little lady, what do you want to buy?"

Then Chen Xiaomei said to the boss: "I have a piece of rabbit skin here, do you want to take it?"

As he said this, he took out the rabbit skin. When the boss saw it, he found that the rabbit skin was of good quality and felt very good.

So he said to Chen Xiaomei: "Little lady, you are so naughty, how about I give you two taels of silver?"

Before Chen Xiaomei could answer, she heard a voice behind her say: "I bought it for 10 taels of silver."

Chen Xiaomei looked back and saw that he was a wealthy young man, gorgeously dressed and accompanied by two young men.

Chen Xiaomei didn't know this person, so she said to him: "Master, do you really want to buy it?"

When the rich man saw that the young lady looked good, he said to Chen Xiaomei: "I bought it. But there is a condition. You come back with me to be my concubine. Not only can you eat well and drink spicy food, but you will also have people to take care of you.

How about it?"

When Chen Xiaomei heard what he said, she was immediately furious. She said, "Young master, I think you are too narcissistic! I didn't even look at you in the mirror, thinking that you have a lot of money.

!This girl really doesn’t care about it!”

After saying that, he picked up the rabbit skin and took Luo Mu forward. However, he was stopped by the two boys!

A tall and thin boy said: "How bold! Do you know who you were talking to just now? Our son's surname is Shen, but he is a well-known wealthy businessman in Qingshi Town. Most of the streets are owned by our Mr. Shen. How can we tolerate this?

You deserve to be so presumptuous!"

Chen Xiaomei ignored the young man and said to the rich man: "Doesn't Mr. Shen have a mouth? Or can't speak? Why do you let a young man keep talking here?!"

you…

The boy wanted to say something else, but he couldn't think of the right words.

Chen Xiaomei walked away angrily with Luo's mother, and the boy's voice came from behind.

"Master, are you just going to let her go?"

Mr. Shen didn't say anything, staring at Chen Xiaomei's back. He reluctantly looked back until he couldn't see her anymore!

Chen Xiaomei didn't know that the scene just now was seen by Liu Chen from a distance. Liu Chen thought to himself: This little lady is really different!

Now, what Chen Xiaomei is thinking is: If it weren't for that hateful young master, this rabbit skin would have been sold long ago. I don't know if I can sell it now!

At this time, I heard Luo's mother complaining: "Oh, why did you provoke them? It's good now, the rabbit skin was not sold, but it offended those people!"

Chen Xiaomei had a dark look on her face. She was really speechless for this mother-in-law.

Then Chen Xiaomei walked to a tailor shop and said to the boss: "Do you want to collect this rabbit skin?"

The boss was very kind and gave him three taels of silver directly. Seeing that the boss was so sincere, Chen Xiaomei readily agreed!
