Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 175 Not only beat people badly, but do business even more
Chapter 175 Not only beat people badly, but do business even more
After a while, the woman sneered, glanced at her, pulled Anzi aside, and the two of them whispered.
Lin Tao was not in a hurry and returned to the bullock cart to sit and wait.
"Mom, what is twice as much?" Mrs. Zhu came over and asked in a low voice.
Lin Taoyi shrugged: "I don't know either."
"Ah?" Zhu exclaimed, attracting the attention of two people not far away.
Mrs. Zhu quickly lowered her head and did not dare to say anything.
Lin Tao smiled back at her uncle and sister-in-law.
What she told Zhu Donghua was also true. He really didn't know the price of high-quality charcoal.
But it was twice as much, so she didn’t ask for more.
The principle that rare things are valuable is the same wherever you go.
In my last life, when I was required to stay at home, weren't Chinese cabbages worth tens of dollars a head also a hot commodity?
After a while, Anzi came over.
"Auntie, can't you sell this charcoal at the previous price? Although my sister-in-law is the comprador of Yuan Wang's wife, she has to be able to explain the price of the things she buys. It's too expensive to buy, and she can't negotiate with her employer.
explain."
Lin Taohong said with eyes: "Brother, thank you for your hard work, you have given me a guide. I can't afford to pay less for charcoal."
Then he asked with concern: "Brother, has your sister-in-law never been to the official salt shop these days? I heard that the shopkeeper didn't prepare too much charcoal because he thought it was a mild winter this year! Hurry up and ask your sister-in-law.
Go and have a look and buy more to prepare, but you won’t be wasting money on the expenses of the master, grandma, girls and gentlemen in the house.”
After saying that, Lin Tao slowly stood up with her body propped up. The movement was so difficult that Zhu Donghua exclaimed: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
After being helped up by Zhu, Lin Tao patted Zhu's hand and said, "I'm old and no longer useful. I just walked here from the village for one night, and my feet are a bit unruly. It seems like this
In winter, we can only sell this one car."
A trace of panic flashed across Anzi's face and he ran towards his sister-in-law.
No one noticed the slightly raised corners of Lin Tao's mouth.
Zhu Donghua was so worried that she almost cried because she was worried about her health.
"Did you freeze at night? You were fine before you left home, but what happened one night..."
Lin Tao covered Zhu Donghua's mouth and asked her to continue talking. Then she couldn't reveal her secret?
Zhu Donghua shook his head and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "I'm fine, please stop talking nonsense."
Seeing Zhu Donghua nod, Lin Tao let go of her hand.
Sure enough, as soon as she let go, the woman came over and said she wanted to inspect the baskets one by one.
Lin Tao remained silent and let the person she called slowly look through the basket.
About a quarter of an hour later, the woman who had opened the door in the yard rushed over. After the two of them chewed their ears for a while, the gatekeeper left.
"The things are not very good. At twice the price, isn't it a bit expensive?" the woman said coquettishly.
Lin Tao knew it very well. Usually when you say this, the subtext is that you can either lower the price or give the person in charge some benefits.
Anzi was standing by and helping her sister-in-law speak.
With an embarrassed expression on her face, Lin Tao declined politely and called Zhu to drive the bullock cart away.
The bullock cart moved forward slowly, and Mrs. Zhu whispered: "Mom, are we leaving like this? It took a lot of effort to see the comprador woman! If we go to the next house, we may not be able to see her."
"Why panic! She will call us within thirty steps."
Mrs. Zhu has a pair of small eyes, which means that only after being with Mrs. Zhu for a long time can you tell whether she is staring or not.
After all, if a line can be stretched further, it will still be a thin line.
"Thirty steps?"
As soon as Zhu's voice came out, Anzi's shout sounded from behind.
Lin Tao grinned, turned to An Zi and said, "Brother, don't worry anymore, there's no need to send us off."
Anzi looked embarrassed: "Mom, I didn't send you away, I asked you to come back. My sister-in-law wants the charcoal."
The confusion on Zhu's face instantly turned into panic.
She and the old lady came to town the most often, and every time the old lady said something and did something, it was as if the old lady had arranged it.
There has never been an accident!
"Boss, why are you standing there? Hurry up and let your sister-in-law pick the charcoal, and then you can move the picked ones into the yard."
After regaining consciousness, Mrs. Zhu pulled the bullock cart back to the small gate.
The woman picked four baskets of charcoal.
Originally, if this kind of bamboo basket was used to hold grain, one basket would weigh about sixty kilograms.
But charcoal is a commodity, large in size and small in weight.
One basket only weighs thirty kilograms.
Zhu, a strong man, easily carried two baskets into the yard with one basket in each hand.
The woman who was guarding the door was so shocked that she shouted that this was the first time she saw such a powerful woman.
The woman took off the money bag from her waist and muttered something in her mouth.
"Ten jins are one tael of silver. If you want twice that, it will be 2 taels. Two baskets of sixty jins, twelve taels."
So twelve cents of silver fell into Lin Tao's hand.
Although the woman looked unhappy, Lin Tao still thanked her with grace.
Zhu, who came back from delivering the charcoal, took care of the cart and left with her.
After leaving the alley, Mrs. Zhu asked: "Mom, where should we go next?"
"Don't go anywhere, park the car over here, we'll wait here." Lin Tao rubbed her hands.
"Ah?" Zhu exclaimed again.
Lin Tao frowned angrily and asked: "Zhu Donghua, are you, fourth child, upper body? Why are you so surprised?"
Mrs. Zhu lowered her head in embarrassment.
After a while, Anzi walked out of the alley.
Lin Tao stopped the man and without saying a word, he put a dime of silver into the hand of Anzi who had not yet reacted.
"Brother, thank you so much. Don't take this little thought from me too little."
Anzi came back to his senses and grinned uncontrollably.
"No, no. Madam, this is too polite."
You know, he had recommended sellers to his sister-in-law a lot in the past, but they only gave his sister-in-law benefits, and he didn't get a single cent out of it.
So much so that the whole family, father, mother and brother, all have to look at my sister-in-law's face.
Even for him, a young yamen servant, it was his brother who made his sister-in-law happy, so she donated the money.
Unfortunately, even if he entered the county government office, he would still be at the bottom. There would be no profit to speak of.
This is the first time today!
Lin Tao smiled and said: "If you hadn't given the old lady a few nice words, I'm afraid that sister-in-law wouldn't have looked down upon us. Thank you for your hard work, brother."
"No, it's not hard, it's not hard." Anzi waved her hands happily.
After a few words of greeting, Lin Tao asked: "I rarely come to the town. I am not familiar with the town. My elder brother can give me directions. Is there any other master's house nearby that I can go to?"
"Ahem! What are you talking about, ma'am? You can't get this money in vain. I'll take you to two more places."
"Ouch! That's hard work, brother."
Anzi put the jiao silver into her arms and walked in front of her with her head held high.
Zhu Donghua turned her head from time to time and looked at the old lady beside her.
Mom...well, awesome!
Not only is he powerful at beating people, but he seems to be even more powerful when doing business! This chapter has been completed!
