MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 7 : bargain

The sister-in-law of the Shi family nodded cheerfully and smiled: "Call Xu'er here! I've been free these days, when will I teach if I don't teach?"

He's full face smiled: "Oh, thank you so much! This craft is not rumored, and we are too thick-skinned..."

"Look at what you said! They are all neighbors, why are you saying these outrageous words?"

The two women chatted, and Willow was not interested in rabbits, so she stood up behind them, staring at her younger brother and sister not to get lost. Liu Xuer saw that her father and Shi Cheng's father were also chatting over there, so she could only continue to squat in front of the little rabbit's basket and wait.

There are two people squatting beside them, Shicheng and Liulin. Shi Cheng smiled thiefly: "Why? Do you want to raise rabbits?"

Liu Xuer's face flushed in a hurry, she turned her face and glared at him, then turned to look at her second brother. Liu Lin is a serious seven-year-old child, with a puzzled look on his face, only to understand after listening to Shi Cheng's words, and exclaimed in surprise: "What?! Xu'er, do you want to raise a rabbit? This little rabbit... What are you feeding it? Let's talk about it. , can our family raise such precious things?"

As soon as he said this, Liu Xuer and Shi Cheng couldn't help but give him a blank look, it's just a rabbit, also called Jin Gui?

Shicheng suddenly remembered it, smiled and said in a low voice: "I understand! You must have taken a fancy to the four-leaf clover on the **** of the small ditch in front of your house. Bar?"

Wrong, I just saw that piece of alfalfa, the rabbit loves to eat that, I raised rabbits to get rich... What's wrong?!"

Shi Cheng laughed 'puchi' and lowered his voice: "There's nothing wrong with that."

"Humph! Then what are you talking about?!" Out of the corner of Liu Xuer's eyes, she saw that her father had come over, and quickly ended the conversation that didn't seem like a child, and looked up. Liu Changgeng, who was approaching, called out, "Father! Buy me two rabbits?"

Liu Lin didn't hear the murmurings that the two of them later lowered their voices, but he heard it in front of him, so he immediately turned his head to face Liu Changgeng and said loudly: "Father, Xuer thinks Rabbits."

Liu Changgeng came over and greeted Shi Chengniang with a nod, and handed Liu Sen to Liu Shu to hug, then smiled and squatted beside Liu Xuer, reached out and patted her head gently: "What? Want a rabbit?"

Liu Xuer nodded heavily: "Yes, Dad! Buy me two, I want two..." She grabbed her father's arm with both hands and shook it back and forth.

Shi Cheng squatted beside her and watched her coquettish with her father, smiling.

Speaking of which, Liu Changgeng was more accustomed to children than his daughter-in-law, scratched his head, raised his head and asked the rabbit seller, "How much for a pair of rabbits?"

After all, most of the people who come to this county are the villagers from the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, and few have spare money to buy this.

But the rabbit seller really wanted to see Liu Xuer, and the adults seemed to be more distressed about the baby, so they were ready for a long time, seeing the adults finally come to ask the price, busy Greeting with a smile: "Do you want a male and female pair? Five hundred yuan for a pair."

Five hundred! The simple and honest Liu Changgeng almost sat down on the ground in fright! He cried out: "Why are rabbits so expensive?! How about half a dollar?!"

Do you know how much a pound of good rabbit hair is? Some can be sold for 300 to 400 yuan a pound! And this rabbit hair will grow again after one crop is cut. As long as the rabbit is well cared for, the rabbit fur will It's always been there! This is a business that can make a profit without losing any money! I came from Songjiang Mansion, and I only sold it from a stall in Peach Blossom Town. If you don't believe me, just shop around, there's absolutely no other store!"

Liu Changgeng, a simple and honest countryman, only knows that half a dollar can buy two stones of grain! In a good year, you can even buy three stones to three stones and a half of grain! How could he possibly agree! He shook his head again and again: "It's too expensive, it's too expensive!" When he stood up, he bent over and wanted to pick Xu'er up: "Xu'er, this rabbit is too expensive, we won't buy it, I'll go home and catch it for you in the mountains. Two wild rabbits..."

Liu Xuer finally ran into someone selling long-haired rabbits, how could she give up, grabbed Liu Changgeng's arm and shook it vigorously: "Father, buy me a pair, I want to raise them. , I think so! I don't want anything for the New Year, Dad, I beg you." Tears welled up as he spoke.

Liu Changgeng still picked her up and coaxed softly: "Xuer obedient, we can't afford this rabbit, daddy will catch you two exactly the same?"

"No, no, I don't want my father to catch it, I want this long-haired rabbit!" Liu Xuer's small body was picked up at once, and she was about to walk away, really anxious and sad Now, tears will fall on Liu Changgeng's shoulders.

Shi Cheng stood up and scratched his head. He really wanted to help with a few words, but he knew that he had no right to interject like an outsider.

Liu Lin also stood up, he and his brother Liu Shu all stared at Catkin with wide eyes. As soon as the little Liu Sen saw the cute little rabbit, he immediately screamed and struggled to come down and touch it.

Liu Xuer said to Liu Changgeng tearfully: "Dad, I don't want anything for the New Year, don't make me new clothes, just use the money for pulling the fabric to buy rabbits."

Liu Changgeng looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes, she couldn't bear it, and subconsciously muttered: "It doesn't take five hundred words to pull the fabric..."

Liu Shu said: "Dad, I don't want any new clothes, can I buy them for my sister?"

Liu Lin nodded when he heard what his brother said, "Yes, Dad! I don't want any new clothes!"

Liu Changgeng felt uncomfortable when he heard this, looking at the two brothers standing in front of him, they were both seven and a half, but they were not as tall as Shicheng, who was five years old...

"I don't want new clothes! I want a bunny!" Liu Sen, who was squatting in front of the basket and touching the bunny's white fur, also shouted loudly.

When Liu Changgeng looked at the tearful Liu Xuer lying on his shoulders again, his face was full of helplessness: "You, you! I'm so used to you!"

When Liu Xuer heard her father say this, she knew that he relented and agreed, and immediately burst into laughter, struggling to get down to the ground to pick rabbits.

"Is this easy to feed? How do you serve it?" What about a rabbit worth five hundred yuan! Of course Liu Changgeng had to ask clearly.

When the rabbit seller saw that they were going to buy it, he was naturally happy, and said with a smile on his face: "It's just like the usual domestic rabbits, it's not difficult to serve at all, it's just that the hair grows in time. Shear the rabbit's fur."

"What should I pay attention to when cutting rabbit fur?"

"Nothing to pay attention to, this rabbit is used to cut rabbit fur. It's uncomfortable not to cut it! Don't worry, it's just like a normal rabbit."

When they were talking, Catkins picked rabbits, and Shicheng also squatted down and picked them together, looking at the ones who were in good spirits and ears, picked a few, and then chose from here to choose. Turning his head to look at Uncle Liu, he was still concentrating on asking the rabbit seller how to serve the rabbit. Shi Cheng calmly looked at the male and female, and then gave Liu Xuer which two he wanted.

Liu Changgeng finished talking to the rabbit seller, turned his head to see that the children had already picked them up, and You didn't feel relieved to look at them. Seeing that the picks were good, he nodded and got up to go to He's. take money.

Here, Shicheng saw Liu Changgeng leaving, so he said to the rabbit seller, "Let's do it less, five hundred wen is too expensive!"

Liu Xuer nodded and agreed: "Yeah, it's too expensive!"

The rabbit seller listened to the two little babies bargaining for him, and he was stunned before he waved his hand: "It's not expensive or expensive! It's not expensive at all, it's already the least." After the baby bargained, she closed her mouth and waited for Liu Changgeng to bring the money. The adults didn't bargain, they all went to get the money. Seeing that five hundred wen was about to be obtained, he would be stupid if he set the price now!

Seeing that the rabbit seller was ignorant, Shicheng reached out and pulled Liu Xuer's arm: "Xu'er, let's go, we won't buy it anymore, it's too expensive!"

Liu Xuer of course knew the strategy, and stood up very cooperatively: "Yes, yes, it's too expensive, don't buy it!" Said and Shicheng walked to the side: "Let's walk forward , maybe there are other fun things."

"Well, there are chickens in front of you, it's fun, and it's cheap!" Shi Cheng also said, and the two walked to the side hand in hand.

The willow tree and the willow forest here are all stupid, staring blankly at the catkins who almost cried just to buy a rabbit and just left, the willow tree stared at the two of them in amazement move.

Sure enough, the rabbit seller was in a hurry, isn't it this little girl who is trying to buy a rabbit? If the little girl left, wouldn't the adults just stop buying it? ! Before Shi Cheng and Liu Xuer walked two steps away, he shouted: "Okay, it's two cents cheaper, four hundred and ninety-eight cents!"

Shicheng turned his head and pouted: "Are you coaxing me as a child? I often come to the city to play! There is also a shop of my family in the city! Then there are often rabbits and donkeys on West Street. , the calf, the other side only sells four hundred and fifty cents!"

He lowered his head again and said to Liu Xuer: "Let's go over there and see, if there is one, buy it there, it's 50 cents cheaper! Fifty cents can buy you a dozen small animals Where's the chicken..."

Liu Xuer kept nodding as he spoke, 'Mmmmmm', she was completely different from the one who had just been grinding adults to buy rabbits! The rabbit seller was stunned. Seeing the clever look on the little boy's face, he had no choice but to nod his head: "Okay, 450 wen is only 450 wen... You two little bastards. Very elf!"

Shi Cheng and Liu Xu'er suddenly showed a smile, and when Liu Xu'er rushed back, she carefully grabbed the two rabbits that Shi Cheng had just picked by the back of their necks and held their hips into their arms. Xiao Liu Sen kept smiling away stupidly, and immediately turned around and stretched out his chubby little hands to touch the two rabbits in his sister's arms.

Shi Cheng laughed, and Willow was looking at Shi Cheng in amazement after he let go of the rabbit selling, and then looked at Xu Er and Moriko who were holding the little rabbit, deep and deep. He took a breath, as if he had made up his mind.

He, who was still chatting with Shi Chengniang, knew that Liu Changgeng was going to buy a rabbit. No matter how He said and how to coax, she was holding the rabbit and resolutely refused to let go, and Liu Changgeng also murmured to persuade him, and Shicheng's father and mother were standing next to him, and He was embarrassed to be with her husband on the street. Children quarrel, can only pay for it.

Liu Shu and Shicheng both reminded Liu Changgeng that the rabbit was already 450 wen. Liu Changgeng also gave the two children a strange look and took out 450 wen.

Shi Cheng's father and mother took Shi Cheng away, and He's face was pulled down immediately, and he stretched out his finger and tapped Liu Xuer's forehead: "You can really do it!"

The catkins did not speak, and hugged the two rabbits tightly.

The money bought the rabbit, but the Liu family didn’t buy anything else, so they drove out of the city to drive back.
