Views:

Over there, shopkeeper Liu had already experienced the goods, and was secretly amazed at the quality of the abalones. He had already made up his mind, but he said to the brothers and sisters: "There are only a few abalones, and you still have to excuse me, the shopkeeper? Forget it, you don't think so?" Easy, I made an exception to accept the 800 yuan!"

"Eight hundred dollars?" Yu Xiaocao and Yu Hang looked at each other, pouted, snatched the earthen pot containing abalone from shopkeeper Liu, "Treasurer Liu, are you really sending beggars?"

"How do you say that?" Shopkeeper Liu twirled his beard twirling cunningly, and said with a sneer, "800 for this kind of abalone is already a lot for you. If you can sell it for 600 in other places, you will sell it." !"

Seeing his determined appearance, Yu Xiaocao felt uncertain. She doesn't know the market of abalone either! She couldn't help but shift her gaze to Yu Hang.

Yu Hang was not affected by shopkeeper Liu at all, he smiled at his sister comfortingly, and said, "Buy or sell, I will do whatever you want. Since shopkeeper Liu's price can't satisfy our brothers and sisters, then bother!"

Shopkeeper Liu originally thought that the two children were not easy to fool, so he planned to coax and frighten them, and took the abalone at the lowest price. But people don't like this at all, without a word of extra words, they turn around and leave. Feeling a little anxious, he hurriedly stopped the brothers and sisters, saying:

"Think about it! After passing this village, there will be no such shop!! We Fulinmen don't accept things, who else would dare to accept yours?"

"Heh!" A slightly childish laughter came, "Shopkeeper Liu speaks loudly. Could it be that you, Fulinmen, have become a street bully?"

Shopkeeper Liu suddenly raised his head, squinted his eyes, and said with a fake smile: "Who am I talking about! It turns out that the third young master of Zhenxiu Restaurant! What? Zhenxiu Restaurant is still in charge of our Fulinmen?"

"It's up to you guys? I don't have that much time to spare! I'd better leave it to your master!" Zhou Zixu, the Wednesday young master of the Zhenxiu Restaurant, said with a faint smile, "I just don't like anyone using the name of being innocent. , but forcibly accept other people's precious seafood at a low price!"

"You—" Looking at the growing crowd, Shopkeeper Liu knew that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He said to the Yu Xiaocao brothers and sisters, "You two come in first, and the shopkeeper will give you a suitable price!"

"I'm afraid it's the price you think is right!" On Wednesday, Shao Junmei's slightly immature face showed an indifferent smile, "Tanggu Town is near the sea, and as long as you are a local, there is almost no difference in the quality and price of seafood. I know how to do it. Little sister, please give the abalone in your hand to the big guys to taste, and see if the price given by our innocent Fulinmen is 'fair'?"

Many of the onlookers didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, after what Mr. Zhou said, what else didn't they understand? The shopkeeper of Fulinmen bullied the two younger brothers and sisters, who were small and weak, and bullied others to get the precious seafood from the family at a low price.

Today, there is a big market in Tanggu Town, and of course there is no shortage of fishermen from nearby fishing villages walking on the street. What the fishermen hated the most were those profiteers who maliciously lowered prices, and they responded one after another, wanting to be a guide for the little brothers and sisters.

Although Yu Hang's temperament is silent, he has a plan in his heart. In the past, when I followed my father to deliver wild things, I heard that Zhenxiu Restaurant, a new restaurant, had been fighting against the old restaurant Fulinmen.

This week, Zhou Shaoming pretended to be doing their best in the name of doing good for them, so he might not have the intention of attacking Fulinmen. The two powers are fighting, why should it hurt the fish in the pond

Yu Hang stopped the little girl who was eager to try, and said politely: "Buying and selling is about mutual consent. The seller makes an offer, and the buyer sits down and bargains. This is only right and proper. There is no righteousness in buying and selling. Shopkeeper Liu doesn't like our seafood, and we have nothing to do Easy to say. Excuse me!"

Saying that, he bowed his hands and pulled Yu Xiaocao out of the crowd.

Shopkeeper Liu, who had been bullied by Young Master Wednesday, couldn't care less about those precious abalones anymore, so he snorted coldly and flung his sleeves into the gate of the restaurant through this step. But I pinched a cold sweat for myself.

You must know that although Zhenxiu Restaurant is only a new restaurant that has been open for less than a year, it is backed by the Zhou family, one of the four largest merchants in the country. The Zhou family's ancestral home happened to be in Tanggu Town, so Fulinmen would not have any advantage.

After all, Fulinmen is an old-fashioned restaurant, and it still has a few well-known signature dishes, as well as a group of loyal regular customers.

But in the past two months, the young master, who was the third eldest in the Zhou family, returned to his ancestral home and found some fresh dishes out of nowhere, which were very suitable for the magistrate's appetite, and also attracted many customers of Fulinmen.

Because of this, the master's family is already very dissatisfied with him. If he gets his reputation as a bully again today, he, the treasurer of Fulinmen, will also be able to do it.

Shopkeeper Liu was vigilant secretly, although he felt sorry for those rare treasures of abalone, he didn't dare to think about it any more.

"Brother! Why don't you take advantage of the situation and teach that shopkeeper Liu a lesson?" Yu Xiaocao was still indignant about this matter, she waved her small fist and asked unhappily.

Seeing the young girl's puffed up face, Yu Hang's expression was very lively, he couldn't help pinching her face, and said with a smile: "Fulinmen is backed by people from the yamen, and the people don't fight with the officials. If we take the shopkeeper Liu If you are offended to death, it will be difficult to stay in this town in the future."

Yu Xiaocao froze for a moment. As a citizen of the new century who was "born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze", he was receiving re-education for the first time that "people are classified into high and low."

Yu Hang saw the little girl stopped, with a dazed expression, thinking she was frightened, so he comforted her:

"Don't be afraid, little girl. As long as we act righteously, those rich people and officials can't do anything to us. Father said that the emperor is wise, and the officials under his rule are relatively fair and honest. If nothing else, we The county magistrate of Tanggu Town is the famous Zhao Qingtian!"

Yu Xiaocao collected herself. In novels and on TV, rich people and officials who treat poor people like worthless things abound in ancient times. He secretly reminded himself to act in a low-key manner in the future.

"Brother, is our emperor really so powerful? Can he rule all those high officials into obedience?" Yu Xiaocao has been wearing it for so long, and she still doesn't know what dynasty it is.

"Hush—" Yu Hang almost covered her mouth. What does it mean to be submissive? Fortunately, they are in Tanggu, a seaside town. If they were in the capital city where Sipin officials walk all over the street, they would have been punished for disrespect by someone with a heart.

"Chi Chi—" Just when Yu Hang was secretly glad that no one heard these words, a unique laughter of a teenager came from his ear.

The brothers and sisters turned their heads, and saw that young man in fine clothes just now was leading a horse and walking behind them unhurriedly.

Yu Hang's face turned pale. He didn't know if the rich young master had heard his sister's disrespectful words, he gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "Thank you, young master, for speaking for our brothers and sisters..."
