If someone else were buying flowers, they might haggle over the price, but Shopkeeper Cui, when he buys, will definitely offer a fair one. Thus, Qian Yixiu was certain that the Jun Zi Lan Flower could sell for at least two hundred taels. Over the years, she had observed that Shopkeeper Cui was a shrewd and visionary merchant, an upstanding man who seemed to have a strong backing, and certainly not one to be blinded by small gains.
In that case, the family should have a savings of over five hundred and perhaps even six hundred taels of silver.
Qian Yixiu said, "Xiuxiu would like to buy a few servants, preferably strong men. That way, they can work hard and protect our home."
