Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Three Adults Were Taken Flying
“What kind of talk is that? What do you mean, ‘pay what you think it’s worth’?” Granny shoved the celery back into the bamboo basket, “I’ve never encountered anyone doing business , it’s a first for me!”
“Please don’t be angry, it’s , I’m just helping to look after the stall. The boss left for a bit, and I don’t know the prices… Before he left, he told me to just sell it for whatever, so that’s why I said you could pay what you think it’s worth.”
Granny eyed her suspiciously, then glanced toward the two little ones whispering to each other, “Your kids?”
Cheng Lu stiffened and nodded: “Yes.”
“You’ve got it tough, bringing kids out with you.”
Granny picked up the celery, thought for a moment: “Two yuan, what do you think?”
“Okay! You’re always buying vegetables, so you must know the prices better than me. If you say two yuan, then it must be two yuan!”
Just as Granny was about to pay, a plump woman nearby shouted loudly: “Celery, fresh and crisp celery, one yuan fifty per pound!”
Granny hesitated for a moment, ultimately put down the celery.
Between being kind and saving money, she decisively chose to save money!
Granny turned around and walked toward the plump woman’s stall, but Xiao Lingzhi shouted at the top of her lungs: “Celery! A one-yuan clearance sale! Don’t miss out as you pass by! Come and buy~~~”
Possibly from the experience of thunder without rain, Xiao Lingzhi’s voice, once raised, immediately caught the attention of many people.
The Granny who had walked away turned back around, “One yuan? You sure?”
Xiao Lingzhi immediately nodded, grabbing a bunch of celery and stuffing it into Granny’s hands, even sneaking in two leeks, “One yuan! Absolutely no trickery, guaranteed tasty, just picked from the field, fresh and tender, not available anywhere else!”
Granny looked at the celery in her hands, then at the two leeks, and then at the little girl with sparkling eyes and babbling lips, and couldn’t help but laugh, praising her: “This little girl is sure clever!”
Granny took out money to pay and even patted Xiao Lingzhi’s head before leaving.
After she left, Xiao Lingzhi sighed, “Doing business isn’t easy, you’ve got to know how to act cute! If everyone pats me like that, won’t I become as bald as the screenwriter? Who knows how many hairs she just rubbed off?”
Little Taotie covered her mouth and snickered, “She patted your head because she likes you.”
“Her like is too heavy; she didn’t even wipe her hands after picking the vegetables.” Xiao Lingzhi’s face was filled with sorrow, “If I were wearing a hat, it would definitely have mud prints now.”
Thanks to Xiao Lingzhi’s loud hawking, a steady stream of people came to buy vegetables.
By the time Gu Yixing and King of Film Xu asked about the prices and came back, the big bamboo basket was already empty.
The two men stood in front of the empty basket, looking at both it and Cheng Lu.
Gu Yixing: “Didn’t you say you didn’t know how to sell?”
King of Film Xu: “Didn’t see that coming, you really hide your light under a bushel.”
Cheng Lu’s face turned extremely red, shaking her head, “This time it was all thanks to Xiao Lingzhi. Xiao Lingzhi knows how to hawk, act cute and whine, she even offered to let people pat her head; every customer was very satisfied.”
Most of the customers were elderly and couldn’t resist the surge of affection when seeing the children. The kids would act cute and beguiling, and the customers would decisively spend their money and couldn’t resist patting the children on the head, leaving contentedly.
Xiao Lingzhi looked dejected on the side: “I’m going to go bald soon; I want to become a great director when I grow up, but I don’t want to be a bald-headed screenwriter like that.”
King of Film Xu and Gu Yixing looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.
Selling the goods relied on Little Taotie; selling them depended on Xiao Lingzhi.
Three useless adults, led astray by two little kids!
