Tang Xian's bargaining technique was the most common and effective one.
It reminded Qiao Shanshan of the days when she went shopping with her father, strolling through the second-floor fruit market to buy melon and fruits.
"Sir, how much for the melon?"
"Ten yuan for three jin."
"Why'd the price go up? Can you make it cheaper?"
"No way, it's always been this price. This is the lowest it goes. Elsewhere, this melon could cost you five yuan per jin!"
"Look at your age, why do you keep lying? Last time I bought from you, it was ten yuan for eight jin!"
"Nonsense, how can you make up such things! When have I ever sold it for ten yuan for eight jin! The most I've gone down to is ten yuan for five jin!"
"Alright, here's ten yuan, give me five jin."
"..."
To this day, she could remember the fruit vendor's expression, caught between wanting to speak and wanting to hold back.
Although Tang Xian used a different method of bargaining.
