Manbao asked Junior Ms. Qian for money, and Junior Ms. Qian did not refuse but instead asked, "How much per pound will you sell to me?"
Junior Ms. Qian haggled with a smile, "Before, when Wulang and the others picked Chinese yam beans to sell, Manager Zheng from the medicine shop said he'd never heard they were edible, and they couldn't sell them outside. So, they ended up eating them themselves. You can't ask for a high price because of that."
Manbao couldn't help scratching her little head; she really didn't understand pricing. In the past, other than candy, whatever she sold was based on the market price.
But there was no market price for Chinese yam beans since they were not sold in the market, plus the buyer was her beloved Eldest Sister-in-law. Manbao found herself in a difficult position.
