"Five taels!" Manager Liu directly halved Su Yunjin's asking price.
He truly is an old fox.
Manager Liu smiled, as did Su Yunjin. The other jar of fruit wine didn't taste as rich, so she agreed to sell it to him at the price Manager Liu offered, "Six taels." Manager Liu narrowed his eyes. Compared with ten taels of silver, Shopkeeper Liu was quite willing to pay six taels without bargaining any further with Su Yunjin.
Six taels it would be then.
Shopkeeper Liu was very forthright in giving the payment.
"Alright, six taels of silver it is," Manager Liu agreed. Su Yunjin clapped her hands, stood up, and spoke a sentence that left Manager Liu dumbstruck, "Two jars of wine, one for six taels, and one for ten taels. That makes a total of sixteen taels of silver." Su Yunjin smiled like a little fox, her hand extended in front of Manager Liu.
