Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 643 - 400 Bargaining and Switching_2

Chen Siyu recognized the person by her legs, "Isn’t that Tang Fu from our dinner table?"

Chen Siqing remembered her from behind:

"Yep, it’s her."

Chen Siyu, together with her sister, went to find Tang Fu. Chen Siqing was more than happy, although Tang Fu was quite tall, the sisters felt a sense of looking down on her.

Not for any other reason, but because they felt supremely superior intellectually.

Whenever they were with Tang Fu, the sisters felt they were the Wise Ones.

"Tang Fu," Chen Siyu called out.

Holding a newly bought skewer of candied fruits, Tang Fu was quite happy to see someone she knew amidst the bustling night market and immediately invited them:

"Join me?"

Chen Siyu promptly agreed.

The twin’s usual duo was now joined by an exceptionally tall girl.

Chen Siyu was over a dozen centimeters shorter than her.

"Tang Fu, could you grow to be one meter eighty in the future?" Chen Siqing asked.

"I’m already one meter eighty." Tang Fu replied proudly; she was only 16 and had checked last month at the hospital. Her growth plates hadn’t closed yet, so she could still grow taller.

Chen Siyu was secretly astonished; there were not many boys in their class who were one meter eighty. That was quite tall.

After walking together for a few minutes, Tang Fu bought a jump rope.

The sisters stopped in front of a shoe stall. They always bought the same things or matching pairs.

Chen Siqing picked a pair of sandals, and her sister clamored to buy them.

"How much is this?"

The saleswoman said, "18 per pair."

"What about two pairs?" Chen Siyu asked.

"Two pairs for 36, I’ll give you a 1 yuan discount, so 35."

Chen Siyu didn’t believe this price. She knew one could bargain at the night market, so she negotiated with the auntie:

"Auntie, would you accept 30?"

The auntie shook her head: "That won’t do, you are cutting 6 yuan already, how could that work?"

Chen Siqing chimed in, "We only have 30 left on us, and we really can’t afford them if we can’t get them for 30."

Her sincerity sounded almost genuine.

The auntie, experienced and wise, knew the girls were just making excuses.

But it appeared 30 was truly the girls’ last offer. She slightly loosened her stance, "6 yuan is too much."

"Auntie, please, I’ll bring friends here to buy from you in the future," Chen Siyu joined the bargaining. freёwebnoѵel.com

The auntie’s attitude relaxed further and the sisters felt confident about sealing the deal.

Just as the transaction was about to conclude,

Tang Fu, munching on her candied fruits, suddenly remembered a time at a store when she forgot her money and Jiang Ning had paid for her Oreos.

"Isn’t there a saying... When you see injustice, draw your sword and help!"

Tang Fu suddenly blurted out:

"Do you guys need 5 yuan? Don’t worry, I can lend it to you."

...

South Hongxing Street.

The aroma lingered, with many patrons dining at outdoor tables enjoying spicy hotpot, fried skewers, beer, and multiple other delicacies.

Xue Chuchu held Tongtong’s hand, following Jiang Ning.

Xue Yuantong occasionally pointed out something delicious, influencing Jiang Ning on what to try, while Xue Chuchu generally didn’t express her preferences.

When outside, she preferred to be in a more passive role.

At her core, Xue Chuchu retained the traditional mindset of a girl.

They stopped by the ice cream cart where Yuantong wanted to buy ice cream for Chuchu, but she declined.

While waiting for the ice cream to be prepared, Xue Chuchu’s skirt was gently brushed. When she looked down, she noticed a coin-sized stain, probably from a young boy, around four or five, holding an ice cream cone.

The boy immediately apologized, "Sorry, sister, I was too hasty!"

He seemed very remorseful, taking full responsibility for the mishap.

Xue Chuchu took out a tissue, lightly wiped the stain, and softly said, "It’s okay, just be more careful next time."

A well-dressed woman following behind him also apologized, "I’m really sorry."

Xue Chuchu responded, "Don’t worry about it."

After she said that, she continued waiting for her ice cream.

Then, the woman bought two ice cream cones and once they were prepared, she smiled at Chuchu:

"These are for you."

Xue Chuchu hesitated, then refused.

But the woman insisted, leaving no option for Chuchu but to accept, and the woman with her son then left.

Xue Yuantong, biting into her ice cream, urged, "Chuchu, eat it quickly, it’s melting."

Xue Chuchu opened her mouth and took a bite. It was sweet.

...

"Want black carp or gibel carp?"

At the grilled fish store entrance, Jiang Ning stared at the live fish swimming in the glass tank.

Xue Yuantong straightforwardly asked, "Which one is tastier?"

The owner explained, "Gibel carp is tenderer, less bony, good for girls."

Jiang Ning decided, "Let’s go with gibel carp then."

The owner scooped up a gibel carp, weighed it, "2.5 kilograms, okay?"

Jiang Ning nodded his head.

"Which spiciness level?"

"Medium spicy," Jiang Ning said, and also ordered some ice brewed rice wine and barbecue. The restaurant was quite large, with plenty of food options.

As they sat at an outdoor table, the evening air made the dining experience quite pleasant.

Several groups of patrons were around, some playing drinking games, all amidst the lively and noisy atmosphere of the street market.

Jiang Ning unleashed a spell to slightly reduce the volume, making it quieter around them.

When Xue Chuchu sat down, other guests also cast admiring glances her way, her beauty always attracted attention no matter where she was.

"Chuchu, have you ever tried gibel carp?"

"No."

"The owner said it has fewer bones than black carp," Yuantong prepared the table with two napkins, rested her arms, and propped her chin.

"Jiang Ning, did you ever get a fish bone stuck in your throat when you were little?"

"Yeah, but it wasn’t serious," Jiang Ning replied.

Yuantong then turned to Chuchu, "Do you remember back in our village, someone got a fish bone stuck?"

"I do." Chuchu couldn’t help but chuckle at the memory.

Yuantong laughed and said, "Jiang Ning, make sure you don’t get a fish bone stuck, it can be pretty serious."
