Chapter 163 The Art of Bargaining

Mutton skewers, grilled squid, fried stinky tofu...

I bought a lot of street stall snacks and watched the two beauties on the left and right with their mouths full of oil. Li Mu was carrying various snacks and felt extremely happy in his heart.

"Li Mu, try this, it tastes the same as when you were a kid."

Ji Miaomiao raised her little hand and handed the chewed grilled squid to Li Mu.

Looking at the cute little semicircular tooth marks on it, Li Mu smiled slightly and took a bite on it.

The squid sprinkled with spicy seasoning is tender and refreshing, spicy and chewy.

Seeing Li Mu's happy smile, Shen Mange hesitated for a moment and sheepishly handed the chicken intestines cut into fish scales to Li Mu.

She is slightly mysophobic, and when she shared food with others since she was a child, she would always break it up and share it with others.

But Li Mu was none other than Li Mu. Because he was afraid that Li Mu would find it dirty, he took the initiative to put the back part of the grilled sausage to his mouth and said:

"This was your favorite when you were a kid. Let me give you a bite."

Li Mu looked at the neatly eaten sausage and did not bite the complete piece at the back. Instead, he opened his mouth and took a piece along the place Shen Mange had bitten.

A very small detail made the face of Shen Mange, one of the top four actresses in the entertainment industry and China's newest singer, suddenly turn red.

“It tastes good, very delicious.”

Seeing Li Mu and Ji Miaomiao continue to walk forward, Shen Mange watched Li Mu eat the remaining half of the sausage, hesitated, and carefully took a small bite.

Then he continued to eat.

After almost eating, the three of them continued shopping.

Without the snacks in their hands, Ji Miaomiao and Shen Mange held Li Mu's arms and wandered around the noisy vegetable market.

Because the second, third, and fourth sisters in the family are all good cooks, the daily grocery shopping tasks are basically not assigned to the fifth and sixth sisters.

The three of them were the type who seldom visited the market. When they saw a large number of fruits, vegetables and fresh seafood, Ji Miaomiao ran around excitedly.

The fifth sister, Shen Mange, wanted to buy some delicious things for her family, so she went straight to the aquatic products stall and said:

"Boss, how do you sell this king crab?"

"150 per pound, the bigger the fish, the higher the price."

Looking at the crew-cut boss wearing water boots overalls and thick leather gloves, Shen Mange nodded and said:

"Okay, give me the biggest one."

Each of these king crabs is about the size of a human belly, and each of the largest legs is probably as thick as a baby's fist. A king crab this big must weigh at least about ten kilograms.

Shen Mange didn't negotiate the price and just bought it, which made Li Mu feel helpless.

He quickly turned around and waved to Ji Miaomiao to come over, while shouting:

"Miaomiao, come here and bargain."

Hearing Li Mu's call, Ji Miaomiao ran towards this side like a butterfly. When she heard that the fifth sister wanted to buy king crab, Ji Miaomiao stared and asked:

"Fifth sister, don't you want to eat crabs?"

"Why did you buy such a big one?"

Li Mu laughed immediately after hearing this. Who said Shen Mange didn't like eating crabs? Ji Miaomiao usually had the most contact with Shen Mange. What she liked to eat was unknown to others, but Ji Miaomiao knew it like the back of her hand.

You can buy it or not, it’s a surefire way to buy something that’s a bit expensive and you don’t eat often.

The essence is to let the boss feel his willingness to buy, but also to make a hesitant attitude, so that it is easier to make a counter-offer.

Seeing Xiao Liu winking, Shen Mange hesitated and said:

"Aren't all your friends here? If you buy one, you just need to steam it, dip it in some crab vinegar and it's a dish. It's easier to make."

Li Mu said immediately on the sidelines:

"Convenience is convenient, but I'm afraid dad's house doesn't have such a big pot. How about we look at something else?"

Ji Miaomiao made a regretful look and said:

"It's a pity. The king crab looks quite fresh. Now is the time to eat crab, but the price is a bit high. It would be nice if it could be cheaper."

I heard Ji Miaomiao say this.

The boss selling aquatic products hurriedly said:

"Yes, the little girl has discernment."

"This king crab is now fat and meaty. Among all the aquatic products stalls in the market, my king crab is the largest. You see, this crab is so fat and has no missing legs."

Ji Miaomiao asked at the right time:

"Boss, how much is the minimum price per pound?"

The boss pondered for a moment, seeming to be looking at the clothes of the three people, and then hesitated for a while and said:

"If you three young men really want to buy it, the minimum price is 130 per catty."

At this time, Li Mu took the two people's arms and said with a white face:

"The funds are limited. It would be nice if it could be cheaper. Let's go shopping. I think there are live sea hares in that store, so let's buy them together."

After saying that, he picked up the two of them and was about to leave. When he saw the three of them walking out a few steps, Shen Mange murmured in a low voice:

"We really don't want to buy it?"

Li Mu whispered:

"If we take a few more steps, he will definitely tell us to go back."

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the boss shouted:

"Girl, give me a little more, 120 per pound is the lowest price!"

The three people looked at each other and smiled, then turned and walked back to the stall.

At this time, Ji Miaomiao took off her mask, grabbed the boss's arm and said coquettishly:

"Uncle, we are all still young people. Our crabs are really good. If you are willing to sell them, the price is 110 yuan. We will buy some more nine-section shrimps."

Fascinated by Ji Miaomiao's shaking, the boss said helplessly:

"You little girl are really good at bargaining. Okay, let's just treat it as an opening today and sell you one, but you have to buy other seafood from my house."

After buying king crabs, live shrimps, squid and many other aquatic products, Ji Miaomiao, who learned how to bargain, asked the boss for a bottle of crab vinegar, and the three of them left the seafood stall with satisfaction.

The next work was quite simple, buying vegetables, fruits and other necessary items. Li Mu's body was directly covered with large and small bags, while the two girls were chattering excitedly, as if they were going to buy the entire vegetable market.

Shen Mange wore black-rimmed glasses and a large mask throughout the whole process, but did not cause unnecessary trouble. The three of them looked like a happy family of three and quickly ended their grocery shopping trip.

Back in the car, Li Mu looked at the large and small pockets and rubbed his sore arms.

This thing is not heavy for him, but after experiencing several previous battles, his injuries are the same on the surface, but there are many hidden injuries. After carrying so many things, various injuries are aching.

After driving all the way back home and putting the large and small bags in the kitchen, Li Mu lay on his big bed, ready to take a good rest to relieve the pain.

Just after finding a comfortable position, fifth sister Shen Mange opened the door and walked in.

Looking at Li Mu who had taken off his shirt, her face turned red again and she turned around to quietly close the door and exit.

Li Mu noticed the noise at the door, raised his head and asked:

"Little Manman, what's the matter?"
