Chapter 22 022: Find a Business Opportunity

"Ma'am, it's him asking the price, not me."

Chang Xi pushed Zhang Yingda to the front.

The woman selling vegetables looked at the half-grown boy in front of her, and immediately looked disappointed. Such a half-grown child knows what kind of vegetables to buy?Immediately, he was unwilling to answer with a blank face. If he hadn't had some scruples, he would have cursed people a long time ago.

Chang Xi was not annoyed, but stepped aside to watch Zhang Yingda play.

The road has been laid out for him, so it depends on whether he will go on the road?
Zhang Yingda looked back at Chang Xi, who was holding her hands up, knowing that this was a test and an opportunity for herself, and only by fighting hard would she be attracted by her. The woman who served the vegetables said, "Ma'am, I really want to buy it."

"Two copper coins." The vegetable seller rolled her eyelids and looked at it, but she didn't even want to say anything.

Zhang Yingda was about to shell out two coppers to buy these somewhat awkward cucumbers and eggplants, but for some reason, he thought of Chang Xi's previous act of inviting people to eat candied haws, as long as a small favor could win people's hearts, and he wanted this vegetable seller If the woman in the house answered his questions enthusiastically, it would do him a favor.

So, he smiled and said, "Ma'am, I'll give you three copper coins."

Upon hearing the three copper coins, the vegetable seller immediately looked at Zhang Yingda with wide eyes and a smile on her face, "Young boy, are you serious?"

"Of course it is true." Zhang Yingda showed the woman three copper coins.

The woman selling vegetables eagerly reached out to grab it, but Zhang Yingda's hand moved away quickly, preventing the woman from reaching it.

"Are you playing with my old lady?"

Seeing the woman yelling with her arms akimbo angrily, causing several other vegetable sellers around to look over, Zhang Yingda didn't care about being ashamed, and secretly looked back at Chang Xi, who had expressionless eyes, this time he did not hesitate to reveal his true nature, "Don't worry, aunt, I will give you the money, but I have some questions, and I want aunt to give you an answer."

When the vegetable seller heard about it, the eagerness on her face faded away, and she asked kindly again, "Young boy, what do you want to ask? My aunt will tell you everything she knows."

"Ma'am, did you bring this dish from the village?"

The vegetable seller thought that Zhang Yingda suspected that her vegetables were not fresh, so she hurriedly said, "Young boy, don't look at this vegetable now, I picked it before dawn, and it took more than two hours to get it." The ones sold in the city are just unlucky today, and they haven’t been sold out until this hour. Don’t worry about it, but it’s fresh..."

Zhang Yingda comforted the woman for a while, and then continued to ask, "Ma'am, will you come here to sell vegetables tomorrow?"

"I won't come tomorrow." The vegetable seller shook her head and said, "There is still farm work to do at home, we can't spend all day here, alas, it will be dark when I go back, and it will not be easy to earn some money Young boy, I'll tie it up for you right now..." While talking, he quickly tied up the leftover cucumbers and eggplants.

When Zhang Yingda saw the dish being handed over, he reached out and took it. This is food.

Anyone who has been hungry knows that food is the most precious, so he readily handed three copper coins to the woman.

The woman selling vegetables received three copper coins, got up immediately picked up the empty basket, and left without even turning around. It seemed that she was really eager to go back.

Seeing this scene, the vegetable sellers around hurriedly stopped Zhang Yingda and wanted him to buy their vegetables. Apparently they thought that Zhang Yingda was a fool with a lot of money and a lot of money.

When Zhang Yingda got rid of the entanglement of these people and looked for Chang Xi, he saw that Chang Xi had already walked to a tea shop not far away and was watching someone selling tea. He didn't care about complaining and hurriedly followed.

Chang Xi saw that Zhang Yingda had almost finished asking, and knew that he was bound to be entangled by other vegetable sellers, so he backed away shamelessly, leaving him to deal with it on his own.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned her head, she saw the shopkeeper of the tea shop discussing business with a foreigner. Yes, it was the kind of foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes. It seemed that this era was much more open and prosperous than she imagined. You can see that there are many imported products in the store.

This foreigner spoke English that she was quite familiar with, but the pronunciation was slightly different, but this did not prevent her from understanding what he was saying.

"No, no, dear Shen, this tea takes up too much space, and my boat has room for porcelain and cloth, so this time I can only ask for so much..." The foreigner said while making gestures.

The shopkeeper surnamed Shen couldn't understand the foreigner's words, but he finally understood his gestures, and the translator next to him didn't come in handy. Suddenly, he looked a little disappointed, "It's so little? "

The foreigner spread his hands and said with regret on his face, "No way, my ship can only hold so much tea, and I am also very sorry, dear Shen, you know that this tea, porcelain and cloth are all bestsellers in our British country , I will be heartbroken if I give up any of them..."

Seeing the exaggerated Xizi's heart-holding by foreigners, the shopkeeper surnamed Shen couldn't help but laugh. It seems that the tea of ​​their Mingxiang Tea House will be slow this year, and they don't know how to explain it to the owner.

Thinking of this, he winked at the translator on the side and asked him to help him make up a few words.

The interpreter also shook his head helplessly. He really had no choice. The foreign devil refused to ask for more. What could he do?
"Can I see the tea leaves you want to trade?" Chang Xi stepped forward and said softly.

The two people who were negotiating a deal saw a young woman suddenly interrupted, and immediately turned their heads to look over. What they saw was a pretty woman. There was a hint of interest in the eyes of the foreigner, but the shopkeeper surnamed Shen frowned. Immediately chase people away, "This lady, please go elsewhere, don't hinder our business discussion..."

The foreigner smiled and said, "This young lady wants to see the tea we trade? No problem, here it is." He directly picked up the sample placed on the side and handed it to Chang Xi, and then said with a smile Sentence, "My dear Shen, it's very rude to refuse the request of a beautiful lady."

Chang Xi was a bit interested in this foreigner who spoke bad Chinese, but she couldn't act too much with the servants of the Xie family behind her, so she took the tea from the other party and said with a smile Thanks.

The shopkeeper surnamed Shen was sullen. If it wasn't for the fact that his partner was still here, he would have sternly chased him away.

Chang Xi didn't care what the shopkeeper's expression was, but carefully looked at the tea sample in her hand, and recognized it as Pu'er tea at a glance. She was about to take a closer look when the tea sample in her hand was snatched away.

The shopkeeper surnamed Shen said displeasedly, "You can't see this, if you still want to make trouble here, don't blame me for showing you..."

"Dear Shen, don't be like this, you are too rude..." the foreigner hastily persuaded.

"James, the quantity you asked for has been brought out, and I'll let someone load it." The shopkeeper surnamed Shen didn't want to talk more, anyway, this foreign devil wouldn't ask for more, so why bother talking?

Chang Xi was not angry, she was indeed a bit reckless in this matter, so she sincerely said to the shopkeeper surnamed Shen, "I apologize to you, I was rude about this matter, but..."

"Since this lady is aware of being abrupt, please go away."

The shopkeeper surnamed Shen made a gesture of inviting someone, but looked warily at the servant following Chang Xi, knowing that the woman in front of him might have a background, and he didn't want to cause trouble, he just wanted the troublemaker to get out of here.

The shopkeeper's temperament is not suitable for such a position, but this is his boss's problem, not Chang Xi's, so she nodded, turned around and left, since the goal has been achieved, it will not be an eyesore here.

This short episode made her discover a business opportunity.
