722 The Fun of Beating Down the Price

The Fun of Beating Down the Price

The owner froze. He said 280 yuan, not 200 hundred? Lin Yi's words made him freeze again. 200 yuan was expensive? He was only willing to pay 150 yuan? He lifted his head and looked at Lin Yi, realizing that Lin Yi wasn't joking. His heart skipped a beat, did Lin Yi know his way around here?

These girls obviously didn't know since they began to pick without asking the price. He thought he had three fat sheep, but the person paying wasn't them. It was Lin Yi!

"I can't sell it for 150, 180… 170 yuan!" The owner wanted to say 180 yuan, but he didn't want Lin Yi to change it 100 yuan. He didn't want to lose more and quickly changed it to 170 yuan.

He could sell it for 170 yuan, but he only earned less. He thought he could earn a large amount previously, but now he couldn't even earn as much as a usual deal. The difference was too large, and he couldn't accept it. 150 yuan was close to the amount he got them for and it didn't matter whether he sold it or not.

"150 yuan. I was in the same business as you before," Lin Yi pointed at a shop not far from them and said, "Do you see that man? I used to sell this with him by the bridge!"

As Lin Yi spoke, the person just happened to lift his head up and immediately recognized Lin Yi, "Bro, you are here again? Did your wife give birth already?"

"Not yet, I'm just having a look around here!" Lin Yi smiled.

"Go ahead with your business. I'm busy, talk to you later!" That person nodded towards Lin Yi and continued to work.

Lin Yi's conversation with that brother left the owner in shock. He didn't expect Lin Yi to be in the same business and immediately gave up, "Alright, since we both know, you are aware of the buying price. The 150 yuan you are paying is the buying price and I don't earn anything. How about adding 10 yuan, 160?"

"Alright," Lin Yi nodded and took out his wallet to pay.

Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu suddenly realized it was fun to beat down the price. Other than receiving discounts from holding VIP cards at shopping malls, they had never experienced this before.

They mimicked Lin Yi and quickly learned how to beat down the price with the owners and began to go through the stalls. Although they couldn't beat it down to the lowest price, to Lin Yi's surprise, they bought many things for a really low.

They enjoyed the fun but bought a pile of useless things. They bought more than ten hairpins and gave Tang Yun a few.

Tang Yun didn't want it, but Lin Yi nodded at her, telling her to accept. However, she still felt bad to take it for free.

"Yaoyao sis, what's that? It looks fun?" Chen Yushu pointed at a place not far from them.

Chu Mengyao looked over and saw a crowd of people who were throwing small sandbags, "I think it's a game. You throw sandbags and get whatever you can hit with the sandbags."

They saw this game often in movies. Usually, things were placed towards the back, so they couldn't get hit so easily.

"Can we go have a look?" Chen Yushu was interested.

"Don't bother. They are all lies. They set up those prizes at the back. My Mum and I ran a stall like this for over a year, and no one ever hit the big price at the back. They will only get small prizes which aren't worth much," said Tang Yun.

"No way! Isn't it because they are not skilled enough?" Chen Yushu saw that many people were playing, and it didn't seem to be too difficult.

"It's only my guess. Perhaps they are just unlucky," Tang Yun couldn't do anything seeing that Chen Yushu refused to listen to her.

"I'm super lucky. Let's go have a look," Chen Yushu grabbed Chu Mengyao and headed towards the stall.

"They don't usually come to this kind of place, do they?" Tang Yun shook her help helplessly.

"They have never played that before," Lin Yi sighed, "Miss is pitiful. She has no friends other than Shu. Their life routine is set. The places they go to are set, and they rarely try out new things."

"You know her well?" Tang Yun felt slightly uncomfortable when Lin Yi talked about Chu Mengyao.

"Well…" Lin Yi shrugged, "Miss shouldn't have any feelings towards me. She's only mad at you because of her pride."

"Oh?" Tang Yun was surprised since it was the first time Lin Yi talked about this problem directly.

"You'll know once you spend enough time with them." Lin Yi replied, "Miss is a rather lonely person. She rarely accept anyone into her life, and once she does, she doesn't want to lose them easily. I'm her friend now, I think? Well, at least a bit closer than other people."

Tang Yun nodded. Everyone had their own difficulties. If it was really like what Lin Yi said, Chu Mengyao lived in a wealthy family but had no fun. If beating down the price was fun for them, it was easy to imagine how boring their life was, "Aren't they like wealthy kids portrayed on the internet. Can't they go car racing, show off their wealth, or maybe do something more exciting?"

"You should be able to see it," Lin Yi shrugged, "They don't even like to drive and ask me to be their driver. Do you think they like car racing? As for showing off their wealth, do you think they are any different to you?"

Tang Yun shook her head as it was indeed so. Without knowing, her impression towards Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu became better.

"Let's not talk about it now. Let's go and have a look," Lin Yi pointed at Chen Yushu, who already started playing.

"Of course she is. 10 yuan is gone," Although Tang Yun's family situation changed drastically after Lin Yi intervened, and they were no longer that poor, Tang Yun didn't like to waste money. She carefully planned out expenses, and she didn't spend a single extra yuan she shouldn't.

Ten sandbags for ten yuan, Chen Yushu finished them soon. However, she didn't get anything other than a pen holder.

Lin Yi looked at the pen holder. It was at most three yuan at the wholesale, which means that Chen Yushu lost seven yuan. Of course, it was nothing to her.

Chu Mengyao was slower and only threw three but earned a decorative chain for phones.

Chu Mengyao obviously didn't mind as she nodded, letting Chen Yushu throw them.
