After leaving the old man's windmill stall, Dinah happily took Tongtong from Ju An's hand and held her in her arms. Ju An then asked: "Who did you learn this bargaining skill from?".
Dinah looked at Ju An proudly and then replied: "When I first went out, my sister told me that when buying things, she said to cut off one third of the groceries and then slowly add it up bit by bit.
, don’t add too much, and leave without selling. This trick really works. You can buy a completely handmade windmill for just over one dollar. It’s really a good deal.” After saying that, he waved his glowing hand at Ju An as if to show off.
The windmill inside.
Ju An almost wiped his head with sweat after hearing this. Do you think it's in the United States? Labor costs are extremely expensive. The most indispensable thing in the country is labor. He was too lazy to explain to Dinah. The more he explained, the more trouble he got, so he followed Dinah.
Keep walking forward with the crowd.
With sharp eyes in his arms, he saw a man selling candied haws on a stick, and said to Ju An: "Uncle, there is a man selling candied haws on a stick. The red ones are so beautiful." After saying that, he looked at Ju An and looked at him eagerly.
Just looking at the candied haws of sugar makes me drool.
Ju An couldn't help laughing when he saw her look. He quickly took Dinah down with his arms and walked toward the candied haws seller. He followed the vendor and spent four yuan to buy two, and then took Tongtong out of Dinah's arms.
I took it over so that Dinah could have some time to eat the candied haws on a stick. The candied haws on a stick has also increased a lot compared to what Ju An remembered. The price of everything has really increased.
I continued walking forward while holding Tongtong in my arms. Unknowingly, a small group of tails followed behind me, following Ju An and pointing at Dinah in front of me.
Ju An turned around and said to the crowd: "Young and old men, stop following. It's not like I haven't seen foreigners on TV doing anything around. It makes people think that we Chinese are rude, how embarrassing it is."
.
At this time, a voice rang out from the crowd. Ju An looked at a woman in her thirties and said, "Big brother, is she your wife? We have seen it on TV but have never seen it with our own eyes. Don't worry and watch."
It's not bad, let's just follow behind and take a look. You said this Yangma is really tall and handsome, but the one on TV has yellow hair, and this one has black hair like us." After saying this, there was a burst of booing.
.
Ju An hugged Tongtong and shook his head. Just when he was about to walk forward, who knew that the little guy in his arms said pretentiously to the crowd: "This is Tongtong's aunt, look at the pony that aunt bought for me."
After that, he took the pony out of his arms and shook it towards the crowd. Ju An saw that there were still candied haws of sugar residue on the corners of the little guy's mouth, and he quickly wiped it away.
Dinah looked at Ju An and said, "Leave them alone, as long as they don't interfere with us. I feel like a Hollywood star, it's just that someone comes to ask for my autograph. This feels good!" After saying that, she bit.
Tanghulu continued to hold Ju An's arm and walked forward.
After hearing what Dinah said, what else could Ju An say, just continue shopping.
Next, I visited a few stalls. In Tongtong’s hand, there were small things with balloons and Gray Taro masks. There was a chicken in front of it. When the chicken was pushed on the ground, it flapped its wings and pushed. There were a lot of them.
, were all held in Tongtong’s arms.
After walking for a while, a small fabric stall caught Dinah's eye, and she quickly pulled Ju An towards the stall. When she got to the stall, she saw that it was a shop selling children's toys, all of which were traditional handicrafts, including cloth tigers.
There are also children’s tiger hats and little tiger-head shoes, and colorful little tigers in red, yellow, and black fill the stalls.
Dinah happily pulled Ju An to squat down and said to Ju An: "These things are so beautiful. Help me pick a few to give to my sister and nephew when I go back. They will definitely like them."
"This foreign girl knows the goods. I make all this at home. The craftsmanship passed down from my ancestors. I have been doing it myself for more than 20 years. Look at this craftsmanship." The stall owner extended her thumbs up to Dinah and praised.
After a while, he pulled the ear of a little tiger open and let Dinah see the fine stitches.
Dinah was pulling Ju An to watch happily. It turned out that the few people squatting next to the stall put down their things and looked neatly as if Dinah was here and didn't even buy anything.
Watching Dinah take a look at this one and that one, she thought they all looked good. After choosing carefully for a long time, she didn't know which one to choose. Ju An looked at the crowd on the three floors outside and on the inside, and said
The stall owner said, "Can I see what you filled in this thing?" Ju An was frightened by the reported black-hearted cotton. It would be embarrassing to buy this thing and give it away.
The stall owner smiled and took the cloth tiger that Dinah was holding, then used a pair of small scissors to pick out a few stitches under the tiger's belly, and handed it to Ju An: "See for yourself, I
I know what you are worried about, young man. Your accent is from the county town. We are all from the countryside. Black-hearted cotton huā is sold here. I am afraid that others will poke my spine."
Ju An took a look at the threads and saw that the snow-white cotton huā did look like this year's new cotton. At this time, an old man watching next to him said: "Brother, Aunt Qian, these are all new cotton, and they are all made by me."
It’s handmade, and I come here every year to sell cloth tigers, so I feel relieved after more than ten years.”
Aunt Qian, the stall owner, said: "If you and your wife agree on that, I will fill it out for you on the spot. Your foreign wife must be her first time in the county. Don't worry, she won't deceive the folks."
Dinah was listening to the conversation between Ju An and the stall owner while picking up the cloth tiger. Tongtong was in the crook of Ju An's arm, sticking out her little buttocks to help Dinah pick up the tiger. Ju An nodded to Dai
Na said: "Just buy whatever you like."
Who would have known that Dinah took seven or eight cloth tigers in a row, plus five tiger hats and a few pairs of small tiger shoes. Even Tongtong also got a tiger hat and tiger shoes, which made Ju An keep sweating. The stall owner, Aunt Qian,
But he was smiling happily, and he made the final calculation
The bill was nearly 200 RMB, and Dinah happily kept saying it was cheap, it was cheap, and she bought so many things for just over 20 U.S. dollars. The stall owner, Aunt Qian, also gave a big black plastic bag and put the things in it.
He went in and handed it to Ju An.
Ju An took Dinah and held Tongtong in his arms and pushed away the crowd. As soon as he left, he heard the stall owner's aunt shouting: "Come and see, come and see, the cloth tiger is loved by foreign girls." Ju An heard this
An almost fell down.
After walking with Dinah for a while, it became more and more difficult. More and more people gathered behind her, making it difficult to even walk. Dinah finally started to frown. At this time, she heard someone next to her.
A young man said: "This Yangma is really white."
Dinah took one look and said to him: "You Chinese horse is really yellow." Then she took Ju An's arm and walked forward, followed by a burst of laughter.
Once Ju An saw it, he stopped shopping and went home directly. The two of them and Tongtong managed to squeeze out of the crowd, then took their bicycles and fled back home.
Back at home, my sister and brother-in-law were stripping off their husbands and watching TV on the sofa. When they saw Ju An and Dinah carrying big black plastic bags, my sister said, "You are moving, why did you do this?"
Lots of stuff".
Ju An put the big black plastic bag on the sofa and said: "The little cloth tiger that Dinah bought, as well as the tiger head hat and shoes that she bought for her little nephew." At this time, Tongtong was carrying a lot of bags.
Something came in.
Sister looked at the newly bought tiger head hat stuck on Tongtong's head, and she was very proud, so she said with a cold face: "Why did you let uncle buy you so many things? It's rude, don't we have tiger head hats at home?"
After wearing it for a day, I found it unsightly and asked my uncle to spend money randomly."
Tongtong's mouth curled up as she was being scolded, as if she was about to drop the golden bean: "I didn't want it, my uncle bought it for me."
When Ju An saw it, he quickly said: "I really don't want it, I bought it because it was fun." It didn't matter at first, but when Ju An said this, Tongtong felt even more aggrieved and cried: "Mom, you are a bad guy."
Ju An quickly held the little guy in his arms, patted his back and said, "Be good, stop crying, uncle will take you to McDonald's when you have time!".
"Really?" Tongtong sniffed and said, looking at Ju An and nodding, then she stopped crying.
After holding Tongtong on the sofa, Ju An said: "Walking around was like going to the zoo. It didn't take long for Dinah to be surrounded by people. In the end, you don't know. There are people on the three floors inside and three outside."
It’s hard to walk even though we’re still here. We’re coming back now and we haven’t even bought Spring Festival couplets. You can go buy them then.”
When my sister heard this, she covered her mouth with a smile and said, "I forgot, Dinah is easy to be watched. She shouldn't be able to find her if she doesn't pay attention."
"Everything was exposed as soon as she spoke. At the beginning, Dinah felt like she was enjoying the treatment of a Hollywood star. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore. By the way, what do you think of the little tiger we bought? Don't be a black-hearted cotton."
Ju An said worriedly.
"Where did you buy it?" said her sister, looking at Dinah who was busy looking at the little tiger in the bag.
"An aunt named Qian sells it," Ju An replied.
My sister nodded and said, "It's okay. Tongtong bought her tiger-head hats and tiger-head shoes from her when she was a child. Aunt Qian's craftsmanship is good."
When Dinah took out the small cloth tiger that Tongtong picked and handed it to Tongtong, Tongtong looked at Ju An's elder sister in confusion, not daring to reach out to pick it up. The elder sister looked at it and nodded, and then Tongtong smiled.
He took it, slipped out of Ju An's arms, and lay down on the sofa alone, playing the dialogue between pony and tiger. After listening to it for a long time, Ju An didn't understand what it was about.
Seeing that Dinah had almost packed up, Ju An carried the bag to Dinah's room and put all the cloth tigers into Dinah's luggage. (To be continued!~!
