Haggling is an art.
Customers will often find all sorts of reasons to haggle.
Even when they're perfectly happy with a piece of clothing, they have to act displeased, as if they're reluctantly settling for it.
If the stall owner discovers you've taken a liking to a particular item, you'll often be quoted a high price.
Bargaining is a psychological game.
Examples include: "My neighbor bought the same one for less," "The material is terrible," or "It's not worth this price..."
The excuses are endless.
And the stall owner? They have to put on a pained expression and find their own reasons to jack up the price.
After a good deal of back-and-forth, the customer will play their final card: "If you can't do that price, I'll go look somewhere else."
At this point, the stall owner will usually offer a "final price" that both can more or less accept, and the deal is done.
But what did Lin Ruoxi know about any of this?
