Chapter 252
Tong Lulu showed an embarrassment on her face, "Cousin, I don't have much on me, why don't you think of another way."
Tong Ziji's face suddenly fell, "Tong Lulu, what do you mean? You ate all these meals, and you and your bodyguard ate even more. I don't care, you have to pay for it, or we can pay according to who eats."
The cousins had a falling out and started arguing, but Si Tiantian was happily watching the fun from the side, not minding the trouble, and pulled the old lady to ask her to continue quoting.
"What about that plate of baked cuttlefish eggs? How much is that?"
"330."
"Crispy Sole Fish?"
"380."
"Oil-drenched black fish fillet?"
"520."
My goodness, every time a price was quoted, the hearts of the surrounding players and the Tong family cousins were trembling.
If the price was in cash, they could accept it. Tongzi Ji, the rich young master, would definitely not even blink an eye and would even call it a bargain.
But it's different with ghost money. They can only get 300 to 500 ghost money as rewards after participating in an E-level copy and risking their lives to get a good or excellent evaluation. After eating these few dishes, all the ghost money they have accumulated from several copies will be spent.
This old lady must have quoted the price in ghost money as cash, right?
Si Tiantian continued to ask, "Where's the plate of snow vegetable and yellow croaker?"
"1800."
"hiss--"
The players who heard it took a breath. Compared to the yellow croaker with pickled mustard greens, seafood rice and oil-drenched black fish fillets were all considered cheap.
The old lady looked at them like this, but she straightened her back and said confidently, "I'm not cheating you with this dish. We use the freshest wild yellow croaker, which weighs over 1 catties each. A boss once offered 2 yuan for a catties yellow croaker. The price I'm quoting now is a bargain."
Players: ...It's confirmed. This old lady must have made a mistake and quoted the value of the ghost money as equivalent to cash.
What's even more outrageous is yet to come. Tong Ziji's table also had meat dishes such as braised pork and old duck soup, all priced at more than 2000 Gui notes. The reason is that seafood is easy to get from their small fishing village, so it's cheap, but meat is not easy to get, so it's sold at a high price.
Things are rare and valuable!
That’s amazing! The old lady really understands what a seller’s market is.
Try bargaining with the old lady, but she will stick to her guns, especially the table with Tong Ziji. Tong Ji and Tong Lulu tried their best to talk her out of it, but the old lady just wouldn't give in. The two even wanted to threaten her with force. Well, they had really stirred up a hornet's nest.
The old lady stood at the door with her hands on her hips and yelled, "Someone's eating a free meal here, come quickly——"
The united villagers immediately swarmed over with various weapons such as sticks, hoes, and kitchen knives.
A group of old men, old women and little kids, formed a dark mass, with sinister looks in their eyes, which made people feel creepy.
One, two, three, four, five, and six other people came out of the small kitchen, including an old man and five pregnant women. I had no idea how six of them could squeeze into such a small kitchen.
The old man took the bloody kitchen knife and quickly put it on Tong Ziji's neck. The bodyguards around him had no time to react.
The players in the small restaurant were shocked.
These villagers are more powerful than they imagined. Even the bodyguards brought by the Tong family couldn't defend themselves against him. This shows how fast the old man is.
Even Si Tiantian had a serious expression on her face. Although she had learned the skill of sprinting, she could not match the speed of this old man.
The coward Tongzi Ji was immediately frightened and quickly raised his hands in surrender to show that he would pay.
The old lady then smiled happily and asked the villagers to disperse with satisfaction. The old man also returned to his honest face. After putting down the kitchen knife, he rubbed his hands and showed the smiling expression of an ordinary fisherman.
Looking at the group of scattered villagers, they had returned to their usual chatting and laughing ways, and left slowly while talking and laughing with each other. The crisis was resolved at once.
Wow, these villagers must have learned face-changing in Sichuan opera classes!
The players also breathed a sigh of relief, touched their fluttering hearts and hungry stomachs, and decided to grit their teeth and order the cheapest seafood rice.
But a female voice spoke first, "Grandma, your food is too expensive. I'm poor and can't afford it. I'll go to the aunt's house next door."
Si Tiantian stood up without hesitation after saying that.
The old lady's smile, which had just risen as if she had won a victory, froze and immediately fell again.
The surrounding players all looked towards Si Tiantian, their cautious eyes filled with admiration.
This female warrior actually dared to challenge the old lady. She is so brave.
At this time, Rong Xiu also slowly straightened his sleeves and stood up, looking like he wanted to follow.
The old lady's face immediately fell, and she gritted her teeth and called out to her, "Wait, wait, the seafood rice is 5 yuan cheaper."
Si Tiantian didn't stop moving, and lifted her foot off the stool, with a distressed expression on her face. "It's really too expensive, I can't afford it. I think the lady next door might be cheaper. I'll come to your house when I make a lot of money in the future."
The old lady was anxious and quickly reached out to grab her, "No, don't go. If you go over there, that damn old woman next door will be so angry. I'll give you another 20 yuan off, not 30 yuan, 120 yuan, which is really the cheapest, the cost price."
Si Tiantian blinked, "But there are only a few cheap seafood like shrimp and sea cucumber in it."
Rong Xiu nodded in agreement, "These are just leftovers from fishing, they can't be sold at a high price."
The old lady's face was gloomy. She didn't expect that the young lady and boy were actually knowledgeable. She gritted her teeth and said, "One price, 60. It can't be any lower."
Si Tiantian smiled and finally stopped talking. "Grandma, you are such an honest person. The lady next door can't compare to you. Okay, I'll have a bowl of seafood rice. I'll eat it here. I won't leave even if you chase me away. I'll promote you later and ask my truckloads of friends to come over to eat at your place."
The old lady finally felt relieved and stopped sulking. She even pulled Si Tiantian aside and carefully instructed her, "Then remember this. In the future, have your friends come to my restaurant more often and don't go to the restaurant next door."
"Okay."
Si Tiantian responded with a sweet smile.
After this wave of operations, the players who watched it were so impressed that they took advantage of her momentum and quickly ordered a bowl of seafood rice. The old lady rolled her eyes, but did not raise the price for them and sold it to them at 60 ghost coins.
The players were so happy that they smiled and thanked Si Tiantian in their hearts.
Tong Ziji's eyes were red with jealousy. 60, this is more than half the price.
Meeting his gaze, Si Tiantian felt proud.
[Humph, I'm a professional at bargaining. First, I have to be bold and careful, and grasp the old lady and the aunt next door who are not getting along and don't want to lose. Second, I have to give the old lady a sweet date after giving her a blow, and introduce more customers to the old lady, so that her business will prosper and she can make more money in the future. Then she will be happy and give in.
As expected of me, a bargaining genius! 】
Thinking of this, she gave Rong Xiu an admiring look, "Young man, you cooperated well!"
Rong Xiu curled his lips, and a smile appeared in his dark and bright eyes.
