"Here, miss, take this." Mrs. Hua handed the wine jars tied with ropes to Xuemei.
Xuemei took them and asked, "How much is it?"
"In total, 120 cents." Mrs. Hua said with a warm smile.
120 cents? Xuemei was slightly surprised. These small jars were one pound each, and there were three of them, so the price of one pound of wine was 40 cents.
Seeing her doubtful expression, Mrs. Hua explained with a smile, "Miss, the grain wine is 20 coins per pound, while the Pear Blossom Brew and Peach Blossom Wine are more expensive, at 50 cents a pound."
"Alright." Xuemei briskly took out the copper coins. She didn't think it was too expensive – she actually felt it was too cheap.
After paying the money, she followed Xiao Niqiu out of the village. Once in the carriage, she could hardly resist the urge to take another sip of the Peach Blossom Wine but managed to hold back.
"How about that? I didn't lie to you, did I?" Xiao Niqiu said with a playful smile, his entire demeanor a bit roguish.
