Was it surprising that the market resembled a night market festival? As soon as the sun was over, so was the moment of peacefulness. Workers returned to their pushcarts and started hollering at customers, pushing their lowest prices as the crowd jostled to get past one another. Gu Ying immediately carried Anji in her arms, shielding the girl from the rather violent crowd. Mingshen and Bai Dajin stood in the centre of the storm like the eye, unfazed.
Anji had seen people going crazy over limited-time offers and special discounts. However, she had never seen such an aggressive bargaining session at a marketplace before. It seemed as if a fistfight would break out at any moment with how heatedly these people were haggling at the store over a basket of green vegetables. If anything, it was weirder that they were haggling for a higher price than other buyers instead of trying to get it for a lower price from the store owner.
