Jiang Xia had inquired about the market price of fish. The money the man offered was noticeably low. A difference of a dime per pound might seem insignificant, but for fifty fish, weighing at least two hundred pounds in total, that's a difference of twenty coins!
Jiang Xia pretended to consult with Jiang Chuan and said hesitantly, "Dad, didn't we agree to deliver these fish to the restaurant? If we sell them now..."
Jiang Chuan instantly understood his daughter's and added with a troubled face, "My dear daughter, it's true we shouldn't break our promise, but we need to buy essentials for our life..."
Both spoke with hesitation, leaving the manager a bit nervous, unable to gauge if they wanted to sell the fish or not.
