The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down
Chapter 8 Bargaining
Xu Yao thought carefully and wondered what he had done wrong that caused this guy's attitude to become so strange.
When he saw that I had money, he was willing to take out the tiara. Logically, I should have sold it to her. Why did he raise the price by another hundred taels?
Since Liu Moyan only gave her five hundred taels, it means that the crown is only worth five hundred taels. If it were one hundred taels more, Liu Moyan would definitely not pay any more.
If she went back to ask for money, it would not only be an extra trip, but she was also afraid that Liu Moyan would think that she was incapable of doing her job.
This back and forth not only affects her meals, but also her work efficiency, and will eventually affect her salary. Xu Yao is now quite satisfied with this job that allows her to eat and doesn't want to bother with it any more.
Xu Yao held the treasure box, not letting the shopkeeper take it back. The shopkeeper kept a polite fake smile and said, "Six hundred taels is already the lowest price. Young lady, please don't bargain."
"I'll offer you five hundred taels. Will you sell it or not?"
The shopkeeper refused to give in. "Look at what you said. How can you bargain like that? If you didn't have the banknotes, I wouldn't have easily given you such a good thing. Six hundred taels is really the lowest price. It's not that I don't want to sell it, but the price can't be lowered."
So the five hundred taels depends on the price of the goods?
Xu Yao laughed out of anger, and suddenly realized one thing. He should not show him the five hundred taels of silver note so directly. This is equivalent to showing your trump card to the opponent when playing cards. It would be easy for the opponent to control you.
He was so anxious to get the crown that it was obvious that he was determined to get it.
The shopkeeper saw through her thoughts and deliberately raised the price just to take a gamble. As a slave, she couldn't make the decision and had to go back to ask her master for money.
Perhaps he also thought that a young lady in the boudoir, who could take out five hundred taels of silver to buy a crown, would naturally not mind an extra hundred taels.
For these noble women, money is not a problem; the key is to buy what they want.
Xu Yao felt that the shopkeeper was really good at this, and he was well aware of the vanity of the young ladies from aristocratic families.
But Xu Yao is not a noble lady. When she helps others with their work, her purpose is not only to get the job done, but also to gain benefits for herself.
The shopkeeper was so ignorant that she said with a half-smile, "If you won't sell it for 500 taels, then 400 taels."
The shopkeeper thought he could easily control this dull little girl, who would be frightened and cry, and go back to ask her master for money.
Unexpectedly, not only did she refuse to do what she wanted, she even forced down the price.
The shopkeeper snorted coldly when he heard this, "Little girl, this is not a place for you to be arrogant."
As soon as he said this, the three shop assistants gathered around him, intending to deal with Xu Yao and kick her out.
Xu Yao calmly sat down on the guest chair. "Boss, don't be anxious. I'm just a servant, just running errands for others, what can I do to you? You are too cowardly to bother your shop assistants to threaten a little girl like me."
After hearing what she said, the shopkeeper thought about it and realized why he suddenly wanted to start a war.
It must have been the look in the girl's eyes just now that gave him the illusion that this was someone not to be trifled with.
He looked at her more carefully and found that she was just a pretty girl with slightly dark skin and not very smart. What abilities could she have?
"Little girl, you can't pay. You'd better leave quickly. The things in my store are expensive. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the compensation if you bump into them."
Xu Yao didn't care that the shopkeeper looked down on others.
She came to buy things, not to make enemies. She would never use violence if the problem could be solved with words.
She pointed at a ruby headpiece in the store and said with a smile, "It's okay that the shopkeeper refused to sell it to me. But I'm a slow talker and I like to talk nonsense. You say this headpiece is a ruby, but the color of the gemstone is not right, as if it was dyed with cinnabar water. If you sell this kind of thing at the price of a ruby, aren't you afraid that someone will come and smash your store?"
When the shopkeeper heard her say this, his expression suddenly changed.
Before he could say anything, Xu Yao pointed at a jade Buddha and said, "This Buddha statue is good. The Maitreya Buddha looks festive, but this jade doesn't look like mutton-fat jade. It looks more like southern barbarian material that has been dyed with a special process. Let me guess what it's called? Oh, I can't remember. I just remember that there is a kind of white milky stone in that place, which is very similar to mutton-fat jade. As long as it is processed with a special process, it can be passed off as mutton-fat jade. You put it in the store so openly, is it to prevent thieves, or to fool customers?"
"Who the hell are you?!" the shopkeeper was furious. This man knew the counterfeiting techniques by heart. He broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this and wondered if this girl was a colleague who came to mess things up.
As he thought this in his mind, the look in his eyes when he looked at her became even more unfriendly.
Xu Yao smiled and said, "Didn't I say that it doesn't matter who I am? What matters is that I am here to buy a pearl tiara. I think the pearl tiara is worth at most two hundred taels, but you insisted on selling it to me for six hundred taels, which made me unhappy. But I thought that you opened a store to do business, so you naturally want to make money, so let's each take a step back and offer four hundred taels. You sell the pearl tiara to me, and I'll shut my mouth and stop talking nonsense. What do you think?"
"Little girl, you know nothing but come to me and play tricks. Don't you even know where you are? This is the Bai Family Silver Shop, the largest silver shop in the whole capital. How can a little girl like you do evil things?"
As he said this, he signaled to the waiters, and one of them tried to grab Xu Yao, but as soon as he touched Xu Yao, he was kicked away by Xu Yao.
Naturally, the other two guys rushed up to deal with Xu Yao. Xu Yao grabbed one of them by the belt and tied up all three of them easily. The three of them were stepped on by her and could not move.
Xu Yao looked at the store door and found it had been closed without him noticing.
Xu Yao smiled and said, "Boss, think carefully. Your store is making a fortune, but you still want to fight me. I don't mind accompanying you to the government office. When the time comes, my colleagues will come to identify the things in your store. If the whole capital knows that you sell fakes, will you still be able to keep your position as the store owner?"
"Who the hell are you!"
Xu Yao was upset and scratched his ears. "Didn't I tell you? I'm just a little girl running errands. Do you want to sell the things or not?"
The shopkeeper wished he could tear the girl's mouth apart, cut her into pieces and throw her out the door.
Even if what he was selling was fake, he didn't want to let the little girl in front of him get away with it.
However, if someone has some ability and dares to come to his door openly, it might be that his colleagues are plotting against him behind his back, and he will never give in.
Just as he was thinking about how to get rid of this girl, a voice came from upstairs. "Boss, you should pack up your things and sell them to this little girl."
When the shopkeeper heard the voice, he looked up and saw the person coming, and he was so frightened that his legs went weak.
Xu Yao also looked over and saw a handsome man standing on the stairs. The man was wearing a black robe with peony patterns embroidered on it.
He wore a jade crown on his head, had a faint smile, dimples on his cheeks, striking sword-like eyebrows, and a high nose bridge.
No matter how you look at it, he is a gentle and kind young man from an aristocratic family.
But judging from the shopkeeper's reaction, he is no small figure.
