Aunt Gong Jian hesitated a little. She touched the purse where the money was placed again, and continued with some hesitation: "Shopkeeper, I remember that a kitchen knife only cost two hundred and forty dollars before. Why did it suddenly increase to three dollars now?"
A hundred?"
When the shop owner heard that Mrs. Gong Jian actually said two hundred and forty yuan, the true price of the kitchen knife. He also knew that although this woman looked like she was from the countryside and had never seen the world, she was very familiar with the household chores at home.
The price of the matter was still very clear. But what was he going to say? Could he say that he raised the price because he saw that she was upset?
But no matter what he thought in his heart, the shop owner still said confidently: "You are talking about old almanac, and you still have to pay two hundred and forty dollars. Why didn't you just say two hundred dollars and give you a kitchen knife? Where can I buy it?"
This will make you suffer a loss and take advantage of it, so you can go to any store to buy it. I don’t have the time to accompany you."
Although she was reprimanded again, after all, it was related to the hundreds of dollars she had in her pocket, which was an important matter. Aunt Gong Jian had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "The kitchen knife I had last time came from the shopkeeper's shop.
I bought it in the store for 240 yuan at the time."
At the same time, Auntie Gong Jian also kept in mind that the dishes in her house were used for several years. It was indeed the same price at that time, but after all, it had been a long time. She didn’t even remember where she bought it. But she said this
She turned around in her mind, but what came out of her mouth was: "I just bought it from your store last year."
Like a kitchen knife, a family only needs one, and it is a relatively important item. The price in the grocery store generally does not change for many years. After all, no one is a fool. If there are no natural or man-made disasters, such expensive things will
The price will not change.
When the shopkeeper heard that the woman actually said that the kitchen knife she bought from his shop last year was still 240 yuan, he felt a little guilty. Indeed, his kitchen knives had always been sold for 240 yuan.
But recently, due to some reasons, the price of kitchen knives has increased, but no matter how high it is, it will only cost 250 yuan. He didn't like Gong Jian's wife and wanted to blackmail her, so he said this randomly
The price was paid three hundred yuan.
Originally, his idea was very simple. If this woman really paid three hundred dollars to buy this kitchen knife, then the fifty dollars would be considered his private money, so he just kept his eyes open. If this woman really paid
If he found it too expensive, he just turned around and went out. That was fine, so as not to disturb his good sleep again, he would continue to meet Duke Zhou. But this woman actually didn’t choose either direction, and just talked with herself about the price.
ah.
Suppressing the slightest hint of guilt in his heart, the shop owner slapped the counter and said sternly: "What's wrong? Didn't you know that the blacksmith in the town had moved away? Can the price of this kitchen knife still be the same as last year? Of course it's impossible. Three hundred
The dollar is already a bargain for you. Whether you want it or not, the price will be the same wherever you go."
When Aunt Gong Jian heard what the shop owner said, she also remembered that it was true that the blacksmith in the town suddenly moved away, so these iron tools must not have been made locally, but shipped from other places. The cost should be more than
In the past, it would have gone up a bit. But she felt a little distressed. She never thought that the toll for transportation from outside would be so high.
Aunt Gong Jian touched the purse that had been on her chest again. She looked up at the kitchen knife on the counter, then turned to look at the shopkeeper's already impatient face. She gritted her teeth and hurriedly took it out of her pocket.
Take out the purse and start counting the coins in the purse.
Aunt Gong Jian has already counted the money in her purse several times. After Uncle Gong Jian gave her the money, Aunt Gong Jian had already planned the use of the money. Uncle Gong Jian was also generous this time.
He directly gave Auntie Gong Jian three hundred dollars.
Before going out, Mrs. Gong Jian was still cheerful. She was still thinking that a kitchen knife would cost two hundred and forty dollars. If she tried harder to negotiate the price with the store, she might be able to get it even lower, but no matter what, the six
The ten dollars must be his or her private money.
Originally, Aunt Gong Jian was thinking that after buying the kitchen knives, she would go to the butcher shop to buy two kilograms of pork and take it home. If there was still a little money left, she would save it. But she never thought that groceries
A kitchen knife in the shop was sold for just three hundred yuan. Not even a penny of the money her man gave her would go into her pocket, let alone the extravagant hope of pork?
The shopkeeper saw Auntie Gong Jian slowly starting to take out money one by one from her purse. He glanced at Aunt Gong Jian with disdain and cursed in his heart: These country people have a lot to do, don't they just have three hundred dollars?
Money? Can't you pour out all the money in your wallet and count it slowly? If you have to take it out one by one now, it's like cutting their flesh. If you are so reluctant to part with it, why would you go into the town to buy anything?
If it wasn't for the sake of how much pocket money he could earn, the shop owner would have lost his temper a long time ago. But at this time, he simply crossed his arms and leaned against the pillar next to him, squinting at Aunt Gong Jian, who was still there.
One took out copper coins.
Auntie Gong Jian was serious at this time, taking money out one by one, counting in her heart, hoping to get as much money out of her purse as possible.
But when she took out all the money in her purse, she had just counted three hundred, which meant that the three hundred dollars were just enough to buy the kitchen knife, and there was nothing in her purse.
The shopkeeper who had been watching her movements was of course not following Aunt Gong Jian, who was counting silently in his mind. As long as he looked at the woman's expression, he knew that the money in front of him was just enough, the three hundred money he just mentioned casually.
At this time, he felt a little happy. Seeing the money coming in, he could get fifty yuan as pocket money. Naturally, he felt much better than before.
So the shop owner raised his chin and said to Aunt Gong Jian: "Okay, I think this money is almost enough. You can take the kitchen knife."
Aunt Gong Jian looked at the pile of money she counted in her hand, and then at the kitchen knife placed next to her. She was extremely reluctant to part with it. She still guarded the pile of money with both hands and refused to let go.
Seeing that Mrs. Gong Jian was still there, the shop owner was even more unhappy: "Do you want to buy it or not? I don't have time to joke around with you."
Hearing the shopkeeper's impatient words, Miss Gong Jian could only release her hands, grab the kitchen knife next to her, and wrap it carefully. But her eyes were still fixed on the money. (To be continued)
