The result was beyond Bai Ruozhu's expectation. Not only did Fang Guizhi complete the task, but she also exceeded it.
When she'd proposed selling four pieces per tael of silver, she was somewhat worried that Fang Guizhi might have trouble making the sale. But to undersell them didn't seem worthwhile either. It would be better to keep them for personal consumption or as gifts.
Unexpectedly, Fang Guizhi returned gleefully with ten taels of silver, saying, as if a child seeking praise for finished homework: "Ruozhu, Ruozhu, I sold two pieces for one tael of silver. Am I amazing or what?"
Catching the slight lift of her chin, Bai Ruozhu couldn't resist giving her a playful tweak on the nose, saying: "Very well done. I didn't realize our Guizhi has such a knack for doing business."
