He was a craftsman. When he got the makeup box, he immediately noticed its extraordinary craftsmanship. It must be valuable. However, he had displayed the makeup box in the market all morning, and no one had even inquired about it. His expectations for the makeup box had considerably lowered.
Seeing the child's keen interest in the makeup box, he initially wanted to price it at one and a half coins, but he quickly changed his mind to two coins. Later, upon hearing the size of the fish offered in exchange, he audaciously raised the price to two fish.
Given the size and quality of the fish, they would be worth fifty cents per pound in the market. Two fish would certainly be worth more than two coins. To hide his guilt, the man continued weaving his wicker products without making eye contact.
