The driver had never been to the capital, so he could only tell Wang Tao a general direction and route. [26nbsp;] Regardless of the driver's refusal, Wang Tao forced him to give him two rabbit skins and said: "Uncle, I didn't expect you.
My bargaining skills are so great. I am from Xujiacun, my name is Xu Sancai, I don’t know what your uncle’s surname is."
The driver said: "Xujiacun, I heard that the village was massacred there. No wonder you went out by yourself, poor child. What's great about me is that I have been hauling goods for those businessmen for more than ten years. I have seen those profiteers bargaining a lot.
Everyone smiles like a flower, but they all hold back a lot of bad things. I am from Zhangjiacun in the southeast. Others call me Zhang Laowu, little kid. If you can’t find anyone in the capital, you can go to Zhangjiacun.
Find me."
Wang Tao could only use the name Xu Sancai now. He chatted with Zhang Laowu for a few more words, then said goodbye and left. It was getting dark, and because he was worried about money, he did not spend the night in the inn in the town. However, he was used to staying in the town.
He spent the night outdoors and there was no one on the road. After walking for a while, he meditated and practiced on the roadside, and then he spent the night covered with a rabbit skin on the roadside.
According to Zhang Laowu's instructions, starting from Xiaoyue Town, walking along the road for about eighty miles is a big city: Dayue City. Wang Tao now has one less big burden. Although there are still fifty rabbit skins in the bag, the small bag contains
There were more than twenty kilograms of dry food, but the load was still lighter. Three days later, he arrived at Dayue City.
Dayue City has a simple city wall. You need to go through the city gate to enter and exit the city. The city gate is guarded by soldiers. Adults need to pay three copper coins per person to enter Dayue City. Wang Tao is a child, and he entered the city after paying one copper coin. He can do it too.
There is a detour outside Dai Viet Castle, but that would require walking several miles more.
The most important thing is that after three days, Wang Tao felt that the weight was still too much, which affected his traveling speed. He went to the city and planned to sell some more rabbit skins. After reducing the burden, he could travel faster to avoid arriving at the capital late and missing out.
College admissions assessment.
Dayue City is quite prosperous, with hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, and the roads in the city are complicated. After entering the city, Wang Tao had no intention of browsing the bustling city. He asked pedestrians in the city about the location of the shops, and went straight to the shops. He walked to a prosperous road
There were various shops on both sides of the street. He changed into new clothes in a secluded place, and then walked directly into a grocery store.
The clothes Wang Tao bought were not good, just ordinary blue cloth pants and jackets. However, the clothes did not have any patches. Even the civilians in Dayue City wore similar clothes, but they were not the same as the original clothes.
Shabby. When he walked into the store, a teenage waiter came up to greet him, and he directly asked him if the boss was there.
Hearing that Wang Tao was going to sell something, the clerk didn't dare to make the decision himself. After a while, he invited a fat man. The fat man was a middle-aged man. When he saw that Wang Tao was just a teenager in ordinary clothes, he couldn't help but frown.
Wrinkled, but still with a smile on his face, he said: "This kid, may I ask what you plan to sell."
Wang Tao could see the cunningness of the fat boss from his face. He took out a piece of snow-white rabbit skin from the big bag and handed it to the fat boss and said, "Do you want to accept this?"
The fat man's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw the snow-white rabbit skin, but the expression on his face remained unchanged. After taking the rabbit skin, he turned it over and looked at it carefully, as if he wanted to find fault with the rabbit skin. The fat man frowned and mumbled.
He said: "It's a pity that the season is wrong. Otherwise, this rabbit skin is really worth one or two silver coins. It's a pity."
Then, the fat man raised his head and glanced at the big cloth bag next to Wang Tao, and said with a smile on his face: "Kid, are they all similar to this piece of rabbit skin? How many are there in total?"
Wang Tao said: "Don't worry, let's talk about the price first. How much does this rabbit skin cost?"
The cunning light in the fat man's eyes flashed away. After all, Wang Tao lacked practical experience in negotiation, and he did not deliberately conceal it. One sentence let the fat boss know that he still had a lot of rabbit skins. The fat man looked at Wang Tao again, and in an instant
He assessed that the clothes he was wearing were only worth one silver coin, and he made a plan in his mind.
The fat man smacked his lips, as if he had trouble making a decision. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Although the things are okay, it's a pity that the season is not right. How about this, I will take all the fifty copper coins each, and it will save you from carrying such a heavy thing at such a young age.
Things are running everywhere."
Wang Tao smiled slightly, reached out and took back the rabbit skin from the fat man's hand, put it back in the big bag slowly, then picked up the bag and walked out of the grocery store. The fat man didn't react at first and watched him walk towards the door of the store.
After reacting, he hurriedly took two steps to grab Wang Tao and said with an unhappy face: "Kid, what do you mean by this? Are you kidding me?"
Wang Tao said with a straight face: "Boss, I'm afraid you are kidding me. This rabbit skin costs fifty copper coins. You can tell. Since the boss doesn't want to do this business, I can't waste the boss's time anymore.
I just have to go to other stores to have a look.”
The fat man seemed a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he put on a smile again on his face and said: "Don't be angry, little friend, I'm just joking with you. Where are the elders in my little friend's family, please come in and discuss it carefully, I will definitely give it to you."
A price that satisfies him.”
Wang Tao was too young, so the fat man certainly thought that he came with the elders of his family. He did not return, he just stood there and deliberately pretended to be disapproving and said: "Why, this little thing still needs
Are you bothering others? If you plan to do this business, just talk to me. However, if the boss makes random quotes again, I will not waste the boss's time."
The fat man looked at Wang Tao with disbelief on his face, his eyes darting around, and after a moment he put on a smile and said: "I didn't expect that little friend is really a heroic boy. Haha, come on, little friend, don't be in a hurry, let's sit down and take our time.
Chat slowly."
Wang Tao no longer insisted at this time, and returned to his original seat pretending to be unhappy. The fat man didn't seem to see this, and said with a smile on his face: "Where do you live, little friend? I don't think I have seen you before.
, Isn’t my little friend a local?”
When Wang Tao heard this, his face darkened and he said: "Boss, are you going to do business or not? If not, I have to leave. I have to be on my way today and I really don't have time to sit here and chat."
The fat man smiled even more when he heard this and said, "Why are you so urgent, little friend? Why don't you stay in Dayue City for a few more days? There are a lot of fun and delicious things here."
How could Wang Tao not hear what the fat man was trying to trick him? He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "What's so good about this? Okay, hurry up and get down to business. I have other things to do."
