'ah! '
'It's so nerve-wracking...'
'The apples that we had finally sorted by type just now were accidentally scattered together... It's impossible to distinguish the types just by looking at their appearance...'
'It's over now! '
'But... Huo An, can't you even tell the difference yourself? '
'To put it lightly! '
'Look, we have just removed the packaging for cleaning, and now they are mixed together again. They look exactly the same. How can I tell them apart? '
'What then? '
'I have no idea……'
In the large house that is used for warehousing, selling goods, and living in the pier on the beach, the merchant Huo An and the deliveryman Zach are squatting on the ground, preparing for the piles that have fallen to the ground and are mixed together. Worrying about the apples.
Because those apples are not ordinary apples, they are the amazing 'Super' apples, 'Hyper' apples and 'Angel' apples. They are special apples with a retail price of 500G each! Normally, Huo An would classify them and sell them by category, but now... they seem to have accidentally mixed them together and can no longer tell them apart.
'never mind! '
'Anyway, no one will care or recognize it, so just divide it casually. Yes, that's how it should be, hurry up! Zach, I'll bring those packages and let's pack them up quickly before anyone else comes! '
'ah? '
'But Huo An, it's not a good idea for us to do this, right? '
'What's wrong with that? Anyway, they are all 500G each, and I didn’t use those ordinary apples that cost 50G each to deceive people, and they can’t taste them, so that’s it, unless you can help me distinguish them, otherwise...'
'! ? '
At this time, just as the businessman Huo An, who had broken the jar, and the deliveryman Zach, who looked ashamed, had packed up the special apples scattered on the floor and put them in the frame, they had not yet come to give them to them. They classified them randomly, and they were surprised to see:
I don't know when, a blond little guy with blue eyes had already entered their house. He followed her dog and stood behind them, blinking and watching them do what they just did. everything?
"Annie?!"
Gulu!
"!!"
"You... when did you come in and still stand there?"
After swallowing hard, Huo An asked with a embarrassed smile.
He wasn't sure when the little girl came in, and he wasn't sure if the other party heard the conversation between him and Zach, and he wasn't sure if she knew that they planned to mix it up, and even he was completely confused. Selling special apples that cannot be distinguished to others would damage goodwill, so now he is very nervous and a little frightened.
"laugh!"
(????-)?
"They actually came in very early~?!"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
Today is the 24th of summer. Anne originally planned to come to the beach to participate in the supposedly fun fireworks show? But she didn't expect... It seems a little too early now? The sun hasn't even set? The beach is also quiet. There is no one at all? So she had no choice but to go back to her ranch and wait, so she had no choice but to come here to chat with Uncle Zach and the cunning businessman Huo Anshu.
But how could she have imagined that she could accidentally see and hear the very interesting scene just now?
"!!"
"you……"
"You didn't hear what we just said, did you? Well... I guess you didn't have time to hear it, right?"
After Huo An hesitated for a moment, he asked carefully with words that were a little uneasy and a little hopeful.
He just hoped that the other party had just come in and hadn't heard the complete conversation between him and Zach? Otherwise? Once the other party spreads the word, all his goodwill will be destroyed, and no one will be willing to do it in the future. If he buys his special apples, if those goods fall into his hands? Then he will suffer a big loss!
After saying that? Huo An quickly looked at Zach beside him, hoping that the other party could help him confirm. He wanted to know when did the little guy in front of him come in?
'...'
However, Zach gave him an apologetic look and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know when the other party came in, and he was really helpless about what was happening.
"No! In fact, people heard it!"
(????-)
"I just heard you and Uncle Zach say: You can't even tell the apples apart anyway, so you just divide them up and sell them, so..."
(???)?
"Huo An Shu, you are planning to use them to deceive people, right? If that's the case, people will definitely expose you!!"
(???)
Annie remembered that last month and this month, she had bought the other party's apples twice. But now that she thought about it, she probably didn't even know whether those two special apples were of the type she wanted to buy. Yes, maybe it was just random talk by the other party, right?
"ah!"
"It's not true, An, Annie, you must have heard wrong. How could I, Huo An, do that kind of thing?"
"Zach and I were joking just now!"
"How could I not distinguish the categories of these apples? I have been selling them for a while, and no one knows them better than me, don't you think?"
"Ha ha……"
Huo An laughed dryly and racked his brains to think of a solution. At the same time, he insisted on making excuses, intending to get rid of this matter.
"Kidding?"
|??ω?`)
"Hmm..."
(′???`)
"This joke is indeed quite funny. Then Huo An, you won't mind others telling this funny joke, right?"
o((*^▽^*))o
Is she, Queen Anne, so stupid that the other party still wants to fool her when she has heard and seen the whole story? Therefore, she didn't argue with the other party, she just smiled cutely and asked.
"correct!"
|???ω??)??
"There will be a "Fireworks Party" on the beach tonight. There will be many, many people here, and they will run to follow Sister Lin, Sister Mary, Sister Kallen, Sister Ellie and Sister Po. What interesting things will happen to Sister Buli and other young ladies who like to buy apples to eat? "
(??ω??)
Anyway, Anne can now imagine what will happen once she says it! At least, it will definitely have some kind of devastating blow and magical effect on the special apple business of this profiteer Huo An Shu, right?
(…)
_('?'_)⌒)_
(Tibbers lay down directly on the floor and began to rest. He understood the meaning of his bad little master better than anyone else. Her purpose was actually obvious, so he felt that a certain profiteer was the best. Is it better to be more knowledgeable so as not to humiliate yourself later?)
"..."
Sure enough, after listening to Annie's words, businessman Huo An's face instantly turned livid, and at the same time, the original cunning and treacherous smile on his face gradually fell away.
He was not in a hurry to speak, and was considering the pros and cons of what the little girl just said... Obviously, he knew what it would be like if the little girl in front of him really did what she just said. The consequences, anyway, are definitely not what he wants to see.
"..."
o(⌒ω⌒)o
Anne didn't say anything, just stood there smiling and looking at the other person, waiting for the other person's reaction. However, she knew from the ugly expression of the other party that if the other party was smart enough, her goal would be achieved soon, and he probably wouldn't keep her waiting too long.
"Alright alright!"
"Here!"
"Little guy, I give you this apple. I don't want you to tell anyone about what you just heard and saw. Do you understand?"
There was no other way. After looking at each other for a while with the little girl Annie, Huo An finally gave in. Because he felt that he himself could not bear the kind of thing that would cause heavy losses to him, especially the possible negative impact on his goodwill! And once his goodwill is ruined, there is no need for him to continue to stay in Ore Town as a businessman.
"Only one..."
(¬д¬.)
After taking the apple, Annie looked disgusted.
"Huo An, if there's only one of us, I can only guarantee that I won't talk nonsense tonight!"
?乛?乛?
Are you kidding me, just trying to bribe Lady Queen Anne with a special apple, she is so easy to get rid of? Besides, she has already eaten two of these apples, and now the other party is so stingy about giving her one. How can she control her mouth when she is not full?
"you!!"
"Okay, you're awesome! I'll give you another one now, is that okay?"
The corner of his mouth twitched, and finally, Huo An had no choice but to bear the pain and once again took out one of the apples from the box he had just packed up and stuffed it into the little girl's other hand.
Although he didn't know whether they were 'Super' apples, 'Hyper' apples or 'Angel' apples, he only knew that their purchase prices were quite high, and their retail prices all reached a full 500G each. , and two are a lot of money for him.
"..."
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
"Huo An Shu..."
o(?????)o
Anne didn't speak. She first looked down at the two special apples in her hand, blinked, thought about it, then stuffed them directly into the pocket of her skirt, and then smiled at her again without any politeness. The other person held out her own two empty palms.
"you!"
"Little guy, don't go too far!!"
Huo An understood what the other party meant. When he saw that the other party was not satisfied after taking two, and actually wanted to take two more, he was frightened and screamed.
"Why……"
"I said Annie, that's about it. Besides, you're not short of money. There should be more than one million G in your ranch's account, right? If you want to eat, just buy it next time."
At this time, Zach, the honest and honest deliveryman on the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward directly to be the peacemaker and helped Huo An persuade him.
If this kind of thing were done to him, he would probably be satisfied with just one and agree to keep it secret. After all, the things Huo An did were not too bad. The price of those apples is the same anyway, just different categories. , and their specific functions may not even be understood by Huo An himself, let alone the residents of Ore Town who bought them.
"That won't work!"
??(?? ̄? ̄)????
"He is a bad guy who is only willing to sell one apple of that kind to others every month. Now that he has the opportunity, he must get a few more!!"
?(*?????)????
You know, Annie hates the bad guys who engage in hunger marketing the most. Now look, this guy obviously has so many spicy apples, why does he only do it on the 4th of every month? She only came to sell door-to-door when she was young, and she was only willing to sell one of them at a time?
Therefore, now she must get a few more, even if she uses threats!
"Hey~!"
(???)?
"Huo An, you must have done that kind of thing before, right? So, as a victim, as long as you give him two more apples, he will promise not to tell anyone about it, and If you dare to be stingy and refuse to give... then I won’t be able to guarantee it~!?"
?(ψ`▽′)o
That's right, Annie is here to ask for compensation in the name of the victim. According to the principle of 'compensate for three for one fake', she has bought two special apples from the other party, but she has every reason to ask the other party to give her six. Yes, and now she only plans to take four, and they are already at a discount. The other party cannot push the envelope, or else he will suffer a lot if she regrets it!
"you……"
Huo An was so angry that he choked and didn't know what to say.
"Okay! I'll give it to you!"
“But you have to keep your word and don’t spread this matter!!”
After struggling for a while, Huo An already knew that there would be a fireworks show at the beach pier today. He knew that there would be a lot of people here, and he knew that this little guy could really do something. Huo An finally weighed it up. Finally, he had to grit his teeth and compromise, accepted the blackmailing behavior of the cunning little guy in front of him, grabbed the other two apples from the box and stuffed them into the other person's hands.
"Of course it counts!"
?(????)?
"Don't worry, Huo An, I'm sure they won't tell anyone. Whoever tells you is a puppy~?!!"
(? ̄?? ̄??)???°
Seeing that the other party finally stopped being stubborn, Annie was happy to give the other party a promise, promising not to tell the other party that he didn't even know the classification of the apples, and might even sell them randomly.
"..."
"Although your guarantee doesn't reassure me at all..."
"But forget it!"
"Little guy, I have to clean up here now. There is no business today. Can you go out for a while?"
Huo An, who was a little exhausted both physically and mentally, didn't want to see the face of such a cunning little guy in front of him again, who had caused him huge losses, so he spoke directly and rudely planned to expel him.
"It's no problem~?!"
?(ˊ▽ˋ*)?
"Goodbye Huo Anshu~! Goodbye Uncle Zak~?!"
ヾ( ̄▽ ̄)Bye~Bye~
Annie has already arrived at the beach, so she will definitely not go back. However, since there is still more than an hour before the fireworks show from 18:00 to 21:00 in the afternoon, she decided to come first while there is still time. Let’s have something to eat at Kai’s house next door, maybe even have dinner there together, and then we’ll have the energy to make a fuss about the fireworks show in the evening?
"Let's go, Tibbers!"
☆?(o*?ω?)?
"They will take you to the restaurant owned by Kai's brother next door for dinner, but don't bully him! At least, you can't bully him until he is full!!"
Hahaha??(???*)
After saying that, the satisfied little Annie proudly took her little bear (pronounced gǒu) Tibbs. Under the gaze of Uncle Zach who couldn't laugh or cry and the annoyed and heartbroken businessman Huo An, he opened the door and walked away...
(…)
ε=(′?`●)))Alas
(Sure enough, when he first came here and heard what the two people said, Tibbs had already had a premonition that what just happened would happen. Now look at it, it was exactly as he expected! But in fact, this It’s pretty good, at least it’s already used to it.)
