Lihua replied to it wittily, "Then...Mister, I will give you one silver tael for both of them"
She was then gazing at the old man with sparkled eyes. Lihua was a bit wiser this time, she knows how to bargain.
She offered him the lowest she would possibly go and if the prices go up then it would be a mere two or three silver taels which aren't much of a problem.
The old man scoffed at it, he knows that this young girl was acting-wise. Since this young lass, dare to offer him silver taels then it means only one thing which is she has many taels with her.
Therefore, he glanced at her and spoke up in cunningness, "Young missy, the price you offer is too less. Just one silver tael for a hundred years old preserved wine and five years old lotus root. It's more like you are asking for free. We have a business to do, there is a matter of profit and loss in business isn't it?!"
