Summary of the previous chapter: Dongfang Qingxue asked Ma Xiaoquan if he knew how to cook. Ma Xiaoquan immediately agreed. He would cook lunch and buy the ingredients. In ancient times, it was normal for men to go out to buy food, but Ma Xiaoquan was too famous.
.....
The vegetable vendor said with a sad face: "Fourth Young Master, how dare I coax you? These radishes are actually worth 2 cents a piece, and those piles of not so good ones over there are worth 2 cents."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Oh, that's it. It seems that you gave me a discount. Yes, yes, yes. Let's do this. I can't let you lose money. Seeing how hard you work growing vegetables, you can sell them for 2 cents.
Give it to me."
"Fourth...Fourth Young Master, you...you won't make fun of me, will you?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Teasing you to tease me? Have I done this before?"
The vegetable vendor gave a wry smile, thinking that not only had he done it before, but he also robbed it all the time.
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and looked at the vegetable vendor with a sad look on his face, thinking that the former Fourth Young Master Ma must have tormented these vegetable vendors a lot.
"Let's do this..." Ma Xiaoquan said, "I'll give you a lot of money, and you can give me the carrots and send them home."
"Big... big money..." The vegetable vendor swallowed hard. It took him two days to sell this big money.
"What? Too little?"
"No, no, no... Fourth Young Master, you... do you really... give me a big sum of money?"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged, took out a big coin from his sleeve pocket, and flicked it to the vegetable vendor: "Pick the best radish here for me. Remember, I want the best, don't bore me."
The vegetable vendor caught the big money with trembling hands and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was the big money, he said in a trembling voice: "Four... Young Master Fourth, don't worry... I will definitely pick something for you."
The best...the best radishes are delivered to your home."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Well, that's pretty much it. Okay, I'm leaving now. You can pick the two good ones for me. Here, here are 4 cents."
The vegetable seller refused to accept Ma Xiaoquan's 4 cents anymore. He argued for a long time and refused to accept it. When Ma Xiaoquan saw this, he stopped pressing.
...
After leaving the vegetable stall, Dongfang Qingxue covered her mouth and chuckled: "Ma Xiaoquan, you are really good at bargaining..."
"Very professional? Right?" Ma Xiaoquan answered and asked.
"Professional?" Dongfang Qingxue didn't understand what Ma Xiaoquan meant.
Ma Xiaoquan explained: “Professional means very good at it.”
"Yes, yes, professional, really professional, especially when you stare at people, they are scared..."
Ma Xiaoquan smashed the bar and said: "Little Oriental girl, what are you talking about? Why are you running against me when you find a factor in the past two days?"
Dongfang Qingxue giggled and ignored Ma Xiaoquan's "fake anger" at all.
"Ah, that one is so beautiful." Dongfang Qingxue happily ran towards a handicraft stall.
Ma Xiaoquan followed and saw Dongfang Qingxue holding a small ceramic doll.
"Ma Xiaoquan, buy it, buy it, this doll is so beautiful."
Ma Xiaoquan said helplessly: "Miss Dongfang, are we here to buy groceries today? What kind of ceramic doll are you buying?"
Seeing this, the stall owner hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hey, are you Master Ma Si?"
Ma Xiaoquan glared at the stall owner and ignored him.
The other party didn't mind at all and continued: "Fourth Young Master, our porcelain, aside from other things, the glaze and everything else are of the highest quality."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "High grade? Is it even better than the official kiln?"
The street stall owner chuckled: "Of course it's not as good as the official kiln, but it's definitely worth the money. The key is that the price is not expensive."
"Not expensive? Then tell me, how much does your porcelain doll cost?"
The stall owner rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Hey, a tael of silver."
"What, a tael of silver? Brother, why don't you go and grab it?"
"Young Master Ma Si, you see what you said. You are a well-known figure in Beijing. How dare you be so ignorant? One tael is really not expensive, it's really not expensive, and it's really worth the money." Yi, the street stall owner.
While talking, he kept winking at Ma Xiaoquan, as if he had something else to say.
Ma Xiaoquan understood and walked to the side with the stall owner.
"Master Ma Si, is that girl your lover?"
Ma Xiaoquan said nothing.
"Hey, at first glance, you are a talented young man, Fourth Young Master, and that girl is beautiful. You two are really a match made in heaven..."
Ma Xiaoquan said impatiently: "Let's get to the point."
"Okay...hehe, okay...Fourth Young Master, to tell you the truth, the porcelain doll your sweetheart got is a top quality one."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "Jipin? Jipin, you set up a street stall, who are you trying to coax?"
The street stall owner said disapprovingly: "The best products can also be set up as street stalls. I deliberately put two treasures together with the street stall goods. I bought the ones that I could see and took them away. Don't blame me if I bought the wrong ones that I couldn't see.
Yes, that’s because they punched me in the eye.”
"Hey, you're quite interesting. Okay, tell me, what's the deal with your porcelain doll?"
The stall owner looked around and whispered in Ma Xiaoquan's ear: "To be honest, that porcelain doll is from an official kiln."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and patted the stall owner on the shoulder: "Sure, keep fooling me, I'm leaving."
"Hey, hey, Master Ma Si, don't leave? What I said is true..."
Ma Xiaoquan ignored the other party at all, took the porcelain doll from Dongfang Qingxue, returned it to its original place, and turned to leave.
Dongfang Qingxue was obviously reluctant to part with the porcelain doll. Originally, she wanted to buy it with her own money, but seeing the way Ma Xiaoquan looked at her, she had no choice but to remain silent.
"Ma Xiaoquan, I think..." Dongfang Qingxue still didn't give up.
"Shh, don't talk, just follow me..."
Dongfang Qingxue didn't understand Ma Xiaoquan's intention, but since he said leaving, there must be a reason.
"Master Ma, please stay." Seeing this, the stall owner stepped forward to stop Ma Xiaoquan, "I'm really sorry, Master Ma, I didn't mean to stop you, but this porcelain doll is really a good thing, and a tael of silver is really not expensive.
ah."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "One tael of silver? Don't even think about it. If I really want it, here" Ma Xiaoquan took out 3 cents and said, "Just 3 cents. How about it? Agree, hand over the money and deliver the goods with one hand."
, if you don’t agree, you won’t lose anything, and I won’t buy it.”
"Ah? Three cents?" the stall owner said through gritted teeth, "I also got this thing from a farmer. I didn't spend even one cent, so three cents is still money. Well, I'd better sell it to him.
Already."
"Sure, but Fourth Young Master, you have to promise me that if someone asks me, just say one tael of silver, okay?"
