The fisherman did not expect that this girl even knew the market price.
The man around her was personable. Both his clothes and temperament were absolutely extraordinary.
Such a man was rich and noble. Everyone could know he was a rich man.
How could they still have to bargain when shopping?
"Little girl, have you ever been to the market? These market prices are all hearsay, right?"
The fisherman didn't give up and wanted to fool her.
"My goose barnacles are different. They are fresh and are just caught from the island. Look at them. Can they be the same as those outside?"
"Which goose barnacles are not fresh? If they die, who would buy them?"
Emily didn't want to give away at all. She bargained, sticking both her hands on her waist, like a shrew.
"Don't you know the size of your goose barnacles? The goose barnacles, which are 150 dollars a pound outside, are much bigger than yours."
"It's because that the goose barnacles are not fully mature yet this season."
"Regardless of the season, the current market price will be like this anyway. Five hundred, and I will buy all of these.”
“That won't work, five hundred is too cheap. At least, one thousand."
Emily snorted and turned to leave.
Henry frowned slightly. Bargaining with others was out of his character.
"If you like..."
"No!" Emily took his hand and took him to leave.
A stupid teammate was more terrible than a powerful enemy!
Emily was trying her best to bargain with the pedlary, but Henry held her back!
Henry was still unaccustomed to any contact with women, and wanted to push her away. The fisherman behind them shouted, "Little girl, how about 800?"
"500, no more money!" Emily pulled Henry hard to leave.
The fisherman was angry, and finally said angrily, "Okay, 500! Here you are!"
Henry hadn't reacted yet. Emily had let him go, and walked briskly back to the fishermen.
Henry originally thought that as they had a quarrel, even if the transaction was successful, everyone would be embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Emily and the fisherman laughing and discussing.
"The steaming goose barnacles are very delicious. But you may like to play on the beach, and it's also good to grill them.’
The fisherman was introducing her the cooking method, "Prepare some garlic juice, dip it in after grill. I’m sure it will be delicious."
"Yeah, what kind of fish is this?” Emily pointed to the fish in another bucket.
"This is called trout. It has to be fried to taste."
“Well I don't need it. I am going to barbecue."
"Then this is good. Shrimp, super sweet."
"How much is it?"
“One hundred!"
"Sixty, no more!"
"Little girl, your boyfriend is so rich, so what's the matter with letting me cheat? You are really stingy."
"It’s none of your business that whether my boyfriend is rich. Even if he is really rich, he is still earning hard-earned money. Whose money is easy to make?"
"Yes, yes, you are so eloquent. I can’t persuade you. Well, this sea crab, 100 for all.”
"OK!"
In the end, Henry spent less than a thousand in exchange for a lot of things.
Walking on the beach with a few big bags, he was still in a daze. When did he become a househusband who went to the market to get groceries?
However, Emily's performance just now really broadened his horizons.
Was the girl in front of him really the fiancée of his boss, the wife of Mr. Hunter in the future?
Didn't she feel embarrassed to bargain with a fisherman for only a few hundred dollars?
Had Hunter ever seen such an ugly side of her?
