She still remembered the method her grandmother taught her.
Clothes and shoes in small towns were generally not too expensive, so you couldn’t cut much off. It was good to cut 20 yuan out of 100 yuan. If you cut indiscriminately, it might make people unhappy.
But Grandma Qu also told her that she had to be ruthless with the first cut and then saw how the store owner reacted.
If the other party was determined not to lower the price, then you could slowly increase the price a little bit.
If the other party said that it was too cheap as soon as you bargained, then you had to stick to the bottom price and not lower it.
If you couldn’t bargain it down, the worst that could happen was that you could just leave and say you didn’t want to buy it anymore.
Often the store owner would sell it to you as soon as the store owner saw that you were leaving.
Su Yi also asked what to do if the shop owner was stubborn and refused to sell the product even after seeing the customer leave.
Grandma Qu smiled while touching her head and said, “If you really like it, then you can go back shamelessly, increase the base price, and continue to bargain. Business people, no matter what, definitely want to make money. The owner wants to make a deal more than you do, so she will give you a lower price in the end.”
So, she still had some tricks to use in the bargaining battle just now.
Mao Tuan also saw that she was happy not because someone gave her a skirt, but because she succeeded in bargaining and saved money. Although it was not her own money.
[But, Yi Yi, isn’t it a bit bad for you to just accept his gift?]
“His father was talking to him just now. Didn’t you prick up your ears and hear it? You can see from his expression that he must have taken his father’s words as a task.”
“In order to complete the task quickly, he would probably buy it even if I said no. After all, it would be easier if he bought it. In that case, let’s not push it back and forth, so as to avoid making him feel annoyed and tiring me too.”
Su Yi took the paper bag handed to her by the female shop owner and waited for Xiao Yan to pay before leaving together.
Mao Tuan considered and said: [That’s true. But you are a little girl who has just entered the first year of high school. Isn’t it too casual to accept gifts from others?]
“You mean, I should try to refuse twice before accepting?” Su Yi frowned.
“And why do your words sound weird to me? Little girls can’t accept gifts, and if they do, they’re too casual? Who made this rule? The Middle School Student Code? I really want to know, am I being casual, or are you just imagining things and thinking of something ‘casual’?”
Seeing that she seemed a little unhappy, Mao Tuan didn’t dare to respond.
Su Yi said again: “What’s more, do you think I don’t plan to return the gift?”
“Although I don’t have as much money as him, I can treat him to a drink, go to the sea in the evening, and treat him to seafood when I come back. I have also collected a drawer of beautiful shells, each of which is carefully selected, and I can string them into a wind chime for him.”
“Please evaluate it for me, is it too casual for me to use these junks as a return gift?”
Mao Tuan had nothing to say, so it had to beg for mercy with a shameless face: [Yi Yi, I was wrong. I was not thinking straight. I won’t dare to say anything nonsense in the future. Please forgive me this time.]
Su Yi snorted coldly and ignored it. She turned to Xiao Yan and said: “Thank you for giving me a skirt. I know there is a shop that sells delicious milk tea next to the parking lot. Shall we go there and wait for Grandma and the others?”
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes to look at her. Although she didn’t have a very obvious smile on her face, she spoke much more freely. She was not as reserved as she was at the beginning when she didn’t dare to look at people.
He didn’t want to wander aimlessly on the street either, so he nodded in agreement.
When the three adults returned from the vegetable market with full loads, they saw the two of them standing next to the car, each holding a cup of milk tea, and Su Yi holding a beautiful bag in her hand.
