Chapter 2019 Buying Candles and Meeting a Proud Girl (7)
The woman surnamed Lin thought that the other party was also a small family, so she probably only bought candles for emergencies, and would not be willing to light candles all day long. She should not light candles for more than four hours out of twelve hours.
No matter how much she was willing to spend money, she would never spend more than a hundred candles. And if she wrote 150 candles, she could basically light candles the whole night except for sleeping time. There was no way she could beat her.
But how could she have imagined that when Mengyu's master and servant discussed it, they planned to light candles in the front and back yards respectively, leaving room for 300 candles. To ensure stability, Mengyu proposed to buy double.
Therefore, she is bound to lose no matter what.
The two women handed the amounts they wrote down to the waiter, with confident looks on their faces.
The waiter first opened the note from the woman surnamed Lin and read it, his eyes changed.
Then he said to the beautiful woman: "You want to buy 150 candles, right?"
The woman surnamed Lin gave Mengyu a proud look and said, "Yes, what I want to buy is 150 candles." As she spoke, she handed over fifteen taels of silver.
When everyone heard the amount that the woman surnamed Lin wanted to buy, they all gasped. This woman actually bought so much.
Generally, in order to save money, small households usually buy dozens of candles for emergencies and do not light candles at ordinary times. It is not easy to do anything at night anyway.
It is rare for a small household to buy more than a hundred sticks, but she actually bought a hundred and fifty sticks!
However, she must be buying more on purpose to win over others, right?
But they took out fifteen taels of real gold and silver, so what if she deliberately bought more? She didn't bring a servant with her, so she decided on the number of candles to buy on the way, so she couldn't be sure how much she originally planned to buy.
"Hurry up and open her note. I want to see how many candles she wants to buy!" said the woman surnamed Lin eagerly.
"She will definitely not be more than you." A woman next to me said.
"Yeah, who wouldn't buy a hundred and fifty candles if they're not from a wealthy family? It doesn't cost money?"
"That's right, I bought more this year than last year, and I only bought fifty."
"..."
The waiter in the shop was holding the final note, and the woman surnamed Lin simply snatched it over, opened it, and couldn't believe it: "Impossible!"
Several people nearby looked at her at the same time and were also surprised. One person even screamed: "Six hundred candles?"
The woman surnamed Lin rolled her eyes and wanted to tear off the note, but the waiter snatched it away.
He held the piece of paper and looked at the data written by Mengyu and the shipping address on it. It seemed so important that his hands started to shake a little.
Six hundred candles, which is more than the number of some wealthy families. After all, who would use so many candles for servants?
Immediately afterwards, the waiter bowed to Mengyu: "I'm sorry, I apologize for my contempt for you before."
"Impossible, she wrote it randomly!" Ms. Lin shouted.
The person who just called Xiaohong aside just now refuted her: "The girl also said just now that the three masters and servants calculated on the road that they would need to buy 300 candles in the front and back yards together, but the master said that in order to
I am a bit more generous, so I plan to buy twice as much, which is six hundred candles. I also said that the candles won’t go bad anyway, and my family doesn’t need this little money.”
Another person who verified with Xiaonian also nodded: "Yes, the number I asked here is also six hundred. I didn't lie to you."
Everyone's eyes changed drastically: This woman is really a rich man!
