The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 164
[Chapter 164 Market determines value]
Fang Xiu walked up to Wu Yi and asked: “What’s going on?”
Wu Yi showed an angry look on his face, picked up a bowl of sour plum smoothie from the cart, and asked: ” How much does this bowl of smoothie cost?”
Fang Xiu glanced at the vendor pushing the cart.
The vendor pushing the cart looked embarrassed and replied: “Sir, a bowl of sour plum smoothie is one tael of silver.”
Wu Yi said angrily: “Selling a bowl of smoothie for one tael of silver, what’s the difference between this and robbery?
What’s more, “Come on, this smoothie only costs ten cents at Chunfeng Tower. How come it costs one or two cents here?”
The boy pushing the cart opened his mouth, but couldn’t say anything.
Fang Xiu smiled and said: “What do I think it is? It’s just a bowl of smoothie. The dignified Master Wu still cares about a few taels
of silver?” Wu Yi said: “It’s not about the money, it’s just that these profiteers are really hateful. It’s too much to sell ten cents of silver for just one tael of silver in a different place!” When
Fang Xiu heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said, “The price is clearly marked, and whether you buy it or not is up to you. What is excessive and profiteer for what I want?”
Wu Yi glanced at Fang Xiu and asked, “Who are you with? How can you help these profiteers?”
“Ahem”
Fang Xiu coughed. After making two noises, he said: “I call it helping the manager but not the relative.”
Wu Yi looked suspicious on his face when he saw him like this. He looked the boy up and down, and suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. Finally
, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered, isn’t this guy a guard of Fang Mansion?
Wu Yi glared at Fang Xiu and said angrily: “I said why are you speaking for them? It turns out that the profiteer is you!”
“Who do you think is the profiteer?”
Fang Xiu argued with reason and said: “Have you heard of this? In a word, the market determines the value.
The same bowl of smoothie costs ten cents in Chunfeng Tower and one or two cents in the school hall. This is determined by the market.
In addition to smoothies, there are other refreshing solutions. Food for the summer is really not good, a bowl of tea only costs three or four cents.
But in the school parade ground, the only thing that can really cool down the heat is smoothies. Moreover, it is not easy to save smoothies under the scorching sun, and it costs only one or two silver. The price is normal.
What’s more, it’s a clearly marked price. Those who want to buy will naturally buy it, and those who don’t want to buy will not force it. Why would a profiteer say that?”
Wu Yi was speechless by Fang Xiu’s words. , wanted to argue, but for a moment, couldn’t find a reason. He
had no choice but to wave his hand and said, “I can’t tell you anything. A profiteer is a profiteer anyway. I, Wu Yi, will never take a bite of your smoothie today even if I die of thirst or heat!”
Fang Xiu shrugged and said, “Whatever. You.”
Then, he took out two bowls of mung bean smoothie from the vendor and walked back to his seat.
One bowl was handed to Zhao Yan, and she ate the other bowl herself.
Seeing this, Wu Yi looked back at the cart, gritted his teeth, and still didn’t pay.
He walked to Fang Xiu angrily and sat down.
Not far away, the original school parade ground has been moved to the door frame and corner flagpole.
The players of the two teams in Group B have also been warming up on the sidelines and the game is about to begin.
The audience came in one after another, and the entire school parade ground was filled in less than one stick of incense.
Except for the VIP area reserved for Emperor Chu and the officials, the general area was packed with seats.
Everyone’s face was filled with expressions of anticipation and excitement.
On and off the field, there was a lively atmosphere of impending battle.
At the same time, a dozen small carts filled with various snacks and smoothies were also moving around the school grounds.
Everywhere you go, you have to stop for a long time.
As soon as the cart that Wu Yi scolded as a profiteer entered the general area, all the smoothies on the cart were swept away. Even the snacks, only a few greasy ones were left.
When Wu Yi saw this scene, an expression of extreme surprise appeared on his face, and he blurted out: “Smoothies worth one or two silver are selling so fast. When did the capital have so many rich people?”
Fang Xiu ate. Singsha glanced at him and said: “This is called the market determining value. If you didn’t buy it just now, you may not be able to buy it now if you want to.”
Wu Yi calmed down and said stubbornly: “I said, I, Wu Even if Yi is dying of thirst and heat, he will never take a bite of the profiteer’s smoothie!”
Fang Xiu shook his head and didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
Next to her, Zhao Yan looked at the parade ground with interest, like a little maid who had never seen the world.
He is also like a naturally curious baby who keeps asking Fang Xiu various questions.
“What does football look like?”
“It’s not much different from Cuju.”
“Why is that man carrying a gong?”
“That’s a referee.”
“What is a referee?”
“The referee is”
Fang Xiu looked at Xiang Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, “Zhao Yi, do you want to play a game with me?”
“What game?”
Zhao Yan asked with curiosity on her face.
Fang Xiu thought for a while and said, “From now on, none of us will speak. The one who speaks first will lose a bowl of smoothie to the other person. How about that?”
For Zhao Yan, a bowl of smoothie is not worth much money. But as long as she could beat Fang Xiu, she still wanted to give it a try.
“Okay, let’s start from now on!”
Zhao Yan said.
Fang Xiu smiled, nodded, then turned his head and looked at the parade ground.
When Wu Yi saw this scene, his expression became a little strange. He glanced at Zhao Yi and hesitated to speak.
After thinking about it, I still didn’t say anything.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, the members of the two teams had already entered the stage.
The two sides in this game are the ‘His Majesty’s Yingming Shenwu’ team of Youyu Linwei and the ‘Shenwu’ team of You Shenwuwei.
The names of the two teams are very similar, but their playing styles are completely different.
Compared with the ‘His Majesty’s Yingming Shenwu’ team, the members of the ‘Shenwu’ team are physically stronger. Each one of them has a strong back and a strong waist, and walks with great strength.
It has the style of the ‘Yang Ming is not a scum’ team and the ‘General Fang is handsome’ team in the Capital League.
However,
compared with the ‘General Fang’s handsome and handsome’ team, the members of the ‘His Majesty’s Yingming Shenwu’ team are not smaller in size, but relatively speaking, they are more agile.
Members of the two teams lined up in two lines and shook hands with each other.
This is a rule in the Beijing Super League, and it has been extended to the Sixteenth Guards Tournament.
When the audience saw this scene, they all felt familiar and felt even more excited.
Their respective fans have already begun to cheer for their home teams.
The entire school review ground was filled with people and excitement.
With the referee’s gong, the game officially begins!
The first to launch the attack were the members of the ‘Shenwu’ team.
They used their physical superiority to run rampant on the court.
Due to their physical disadvantages and lack of control of the ball, the members of the ‘His Majesty’s Yingming Shenwu’ team could only passively defend, which was a bit embarrassing.
boom–!
In just one minute of play, the forward of the ‘Shenwu’ team completed a goal.
Seeing this scene, the entire stadium boiled instantly.
Most people are obviously more optimistic about the ‘Shenwu’ team, and some people have even shouted the slogan ‘Your Majesty’s wise Shenwu’ team will lose!
