Along the way, Ling Daren and Mr. Zhou chatted all the time, but Ling Yun couldn't get in the conversation. He was so bored that he could only watch the scenery on the road.
Although it is summer, because I got up early and set out early, the sun has not risen yet, and the fresh air smells very comfortable.
The bullock cart was originally quite stable, but because the road was too rough and full of potholes, it bumped and swayed all the way, making him very tired.
Ling Daren saw that he was not used to it, so he hugged him to his chest as before. Although he felt awkward, there was no good way, so he could only let it go and slowly fell asleep on his chest.
Already.
When he woke up, he found that Uncle Zhou, who was familiar with the county town, had already pulled them to the market.
Ling Daren took him down, spent ten cents to rent a stall, and then put the stroller on the stall together.
It happened that there were a lot of people there, and as soon as I put it up, people kept crowding around to look at it.
Some curious people came forward and asked: "What is this thing? Why does it look so strange?"
"This is something my father came up with. It is commonly known as a stroller. As for its function..." Ling Daren glanced at Ling Yun who was standing aside, and Ling Yun understood it in his mind.
He directly put the little person he had just brought into the stroller and said slowly: "This is a stroller specially designed for children. You only need to put the child in and fasten it, and the child can sit in the stroller without falling down."
.”
"Adults can put the baby next to them. When you have no time to pay attention, it will not fall or run around, and the car can also slide." Ling Yun stepped forward to push the stroller to demonstrate.
As everyone listened and watched, they couldn't help but exclaimed: Wonderful, really wonderful!
Especially the unique function, you only need to put the child on it, and you don’t have to worry about taking care of the child.
After understanding the beauty of it, people became more and more addicted the more they touched it. The more they felt that this thing was very good, some people couldn't help but ask: "This thing is very good, how can I sell it?"
"Eight hundred..." Ling Daren was about to say eight hundred articles, but was interrupted by Ling Yun's sudden voice.
"One tael of silver." Ling Yun stretched out a finger and blurted out.
Although Ling Daren looked at Ling Yun in shock, the latter nodded towards him.
Most families cannot afford this price. Even if they want to buy it, they will not pay such a high price for such a thing.
People looked at Ling Yun and then at Ling Daren. The latter remained silent. Everyone knew that it was this child who had the final say.
Although he was surprised, he didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Why is it so expensive?"
A car actually cost one or two silver dollars, and many people backed down.
Seeing this, Ling Daren was anxious to go up and explain, but Ling Yun held him back with his hand, so he had no choice but to stand behind and sulk.
I'm thinking about what this little bastard is doing. If he can't sell it later, let's see how I teach you a lesson.
Ling Yun didn't know his father's little thoughts. Now he was just thinking about how to make more money.
When he came out, although the old man planned to sell a car for 800 yuan, it should not be less than 500 yuan. Ling Yun was speechless at the time, but at this time he obviously had no intention of doing so.
He smiled faintly and said to the hesitant crowd, "As the saying goes, rare things can be found here. I only have this kind of thing. There is no other store."
Sure enough, when everyone heard that this was the only one, there was a commotion in the crowd.
"I bought it, bring me one." A man wearing a blue gown and a white-faced scholar squeezed in, took out a tael of silver from his waist, and handed it to Ling Yun.
"Oh?" When they heard the sound, everyone was startled and looked back. They were shocked to find that the person who came was actually Zhang Xiucai, a great talent from South Street.
Ling Yun didn't care who the visitor was or how old he was. He treated everyone equally. After all, the visitor was a guest. As long as someone bought something, he would be happy.
He asked Ling Daren to collect the money and asked him to return a hundred coins. Ling Daren and the scholar were shocked and didn't know why.
Ling Yun slowly explained: "The first buyer will enjoy a 10% discount."
When everyone heard this, they secretly sighed at the missed opportunity and couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Damn it, there’s a discount of 100 yuan, 100 yuan!
The white-faced scholar was slightly startled. He had obviously never seen this kind of selling method, but if it could save money, it would be a good thing.
The white-faced scholar picked up the car and strode home, arriving home soon.
"Madam, madam, let's see what my husband has brought for you?" The white-faced scholar laughed loudly and walked through the door.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
The young woman was a little surprised when she saw her husband coming back just after leaving home. She was hanging up the clothes with her child on her back, and slightly bowed to the scholar.
"My husband just passed by East Street and happened to encounter someone selling a baby stroller. He was very surprised and it had so many functions, so he decided to buy one."
"Oh? Stroller?"
When the young woman heard this, she was slightly startled, put down her clothes and walked over. She found that it was a small car with a phoenix carved on it, which was very unique.
Not knowing why, she touched it lightly with her hand and asked, "Why is this car called a stroller?"
"I heard from the vendor that this car is specially made for children. You only need to put the child in it and it will stay standing no matter how the child shakes."
"Oh? There is such a magical thing."
"Come, madam, untie Qian'er first." After saying that, he stepped forward to help untie his daughter, opened the stroller and put it in.
The little one who was moving around just now is smiling and happy in his stroller.
The young woman was stunned as the scholar pushed the cart around the courtyard.
"Madam, how are you?" The white-faced scholar looked at the young woman with a proud expression, as if he wanted to get her approval.
"This thing is very good. When the slave family is busy in the future, I can put Qian'er in the car without worrying about anything happening. I just don't know how much it costs?" The woman approved of the car and just expressed her worries. come out.
"It's not expensive, it's only one tael of silver." The scholar said the price in a straight voice.
"Ah, a tael of silver? Such a small thing is so expensive, wouldn't it mean that all the money you just brought out has been spent by you at once?" the woman exclaimed, frightened by the price of the car.
The scholar sighed, curled his lips, and thought about how to tell the price.
"Madam, this is the first car, and it's the only one. I'm afraid there won't be a shop like this after passing this village. It's very strange, and one tael of silver is not expensive. Besides, I am the first buyer, and the hawkers are still cheap. I have a hundred articles, so what is the 10% discount?" The scholar followed the instructions and tried his best to explain.
Then he added, "Besides, this car is fully functional. We Qian'er are really naughty. For the sake of comfort for the wife, and for the husband, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't feel expensive."
"No, this car is too expensive, let's just take it and return it."
"Madam, once a gentleman comes out, it's hard to catch up with him. Buying and selling is free, so there's no reason to return it." The scholar was naturally unwilling and pushed it away with both hands.
The woman didn't listen, so she picked up her daughter and carried her on her back, holding the stroller on her left and right sides, and holding the scholar with her right hand as she walked towards East Street.
…
Speaking of Lingyun, since the beginning of White Faced Scholar, many people directly paid for it and bought it decisively without any reason.
Ling Yun sighed, there were indeed many rich people in the county, and they wouldn't even blink for a tael of silver.
After a while, ten cars were sold. Ling Daren was so shocked that he couldn't say a word and just collected the money.
Originally, he came out to smooth things over because Ling Yun couldn't stop the situation, and also let his son hit a wall. At the same time, he knew how powerful he was, but who would have thought that this would be the result.
Unexpectedly, although he was a little depressed, when a steady stream of money was put into his pocket, all the great depression disappeared. At this time, he was grinning at the side.
"Young man, how much does this car cost?" the old man said with a dry mouth.
The old man saw the child in the stroller being pushed along the road, and he couldn't help but become interested.
He asked about the location of the sale, and rushed there impatiently, fearing that he would miss the opportunity.
"Two liang." Ling Yun stretched out two fingers and smiled, showing no harm to humans or animals.
"Didn't we only have one tael of silver just now? Now we need another two taels of silver. Is it because I am easy to bully?" The old man was very anxious when he heard that Ling Yun sat on the ground and raised the price.
"It was indeed one liang just now, but from now on it will be two liang."
"You are clearly a profiteer, bullying an old man like me."
"I've clearly marked the price here, no kidding. If you think it's expensive, you don't have to buy it. I've never done anything to buy or sell by force."
"you…"
The old man was speechless by Ling Yun.
Seeing the old man's hesitation, Ling Yun continued to trick him in his childish voice: "Old man, don't tell me that I only sold one tael just now. I will sell two taels now. If you wait a little longer, I'm afraid it will cost another three taels."
"Why is this?" the old man asked puzzledly.
"As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. This thing is only sold in my store. Even if you browse the whole street, you can't find another store. If you miss it, you won't be able to buy it!"
"Furthermore, I only sold one or two because there were so many cars. Now there are only five. They will be gone when they are sold out. Even if you want to buy them, I won't have to sell them."
When the bystanders heard that the price was going to be increased and that the car would be gone after it was sold out, they couldn't sit still and sold three more cars.
Seeing that three more cars were sold in this short time, the old man gritted his teeth and said, "Bring me one too."
Ling Yun put one of the cars in front of him, and saw the old man digging through it again and again, only to find nine hundred coins and spread it out, looking at him eagerly.
He originally heard that it cost one tael of silver per car, and thought that if he kept haggling on the price, he should be able to get it at 900 taels. It would not be in vain for him to come out today and want to surprise his grandson.
"Forget it, I don't want it anymore." Seeing that he didn't have enough money, he sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Ling Daren on the side was a little touched, staring at him with wide eyes, as if he said that if you don't sell it to him, I will spread your ass when you get back.
Ling Yun didn't expect that the person who came had only this amount of money, and was stunned for a moment.
The old man's eyes glowed as he looked at the stroller, then dimmed, and he was about to put the money away.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yun was one step ahead of him, took the money from his hand, returned him another hundred coins, and sighed, "I'll just sell you one if I can't bear it."
The old man's dim eyes suddenly burst into light, and he exclaimed, "Really...really?"
However, at this moment, a man in rather luxurious clothes walked over and said slowly, "I want both of these cars."
