Chapter 190 - Night Market II (1/2)
Jiang Ruolan crouched next to some stalls and looked at the small toys. As the gift shop owner said, there was indeed some weird stuff here. But if she did not buy two items from the gift shop in advance, the owner may not tell him about this.
Jiang Ruolan saw a pen container carved with a yellow design that looked like a dragon and a phoenix. She picked it up and looked at it. After hesitation, she asked, ”Boss, how much does it cost?”
”Three hundred and fifty.”
”Three hundred and fifty?” Jiang Ruolan was shocked.
In recent years, the price of something made of amber had skyrocketed. The fine, meticulous pen was carved from amber alone, costing three hundred and fifty yuan! The pen holder seemed to be quite old. It appeared that this boss didn't know the actual price of this item.
Jiang Ruolan played the pen container with her hand for a moment before placing it back with a calm and serene expression. She said reluctantly, ”You put a price of three hundred and fifty yuan for something that is neither crystal nor plastic glass? Is the boss trying to deceive me?”
The owner looked at her and thought for a while before asking, ”How much are you going to pay?”
Jiang Ruolan stretched out two fingers.
The owner was stunned. ”Two hundred?”
”Twenty!”
The owner stared at her like she was a lunatic. Jiang Ruolan looked at him, and when she saw him didn't bug, she made a face and then wanted to leave. But just as she turned around, she immediately noticed Xian Zihao was standing behind her all the time and looking at her meaningfully.
It seemed like he had seen her abnormal bargaining method.
”Twenty? Do you think I sell food? If you want it, then take it. If you do not want it, just forget it!” The owner suddenly muttered to himself.
Jiang Ruolan looked back and glanced at the goods that had been kept by the shop owner reluctantly. She lowered her head. ”Thirty yuan, how about it?”
The owner glanced at her and saw that she did not seem particularly interested in buying it. If he did not sell this item, he was a little worried that the business would not do too well. He immediately lowered his voice and said, ”How about this, let's each take a step back first. I will sell it for fifty yuan.”
”Deal!” Jiang Ruolan calmly took out fifty notes from her bag and handed it to the shop owner. She turned around and smiled with a contorted face. She looked as if she had found a treasure as she carefully stroked the engraved dragon and phoenix pattern on her hand.
Xian Zihao glanced at the amber pen container Jiang Ruolan was holding. He had already seen many good things and wasn't that happy that Jiang Ruolan was greedy for such a cheap item.
However, there was nothing he could do to her. In the end, there was a trace of a smile in his eyes, but it was quickly controlled. When Jiang Ruolan looked at him, his poker face had recovered.
Jiang Ruolan noticed something amiss and glanced at Xian Zihao a few more times before turning around to continue shopping …
After circling around the gift shop for nearly an hour, she bought some gadgets. Actually, Jiang Ruolan's purchases from the gift shop were quite pleasing to the eye, but her main purpose there was just to relax with Xian Zihao. In the end, he didn't appreciate her effort very much.
When she passed a few roadside barbeque stalls, her stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.
