She didn't know how much others were selling for, but she was determined to sell hers for ten wen per jin.
It wasn't just the cost of the beans, the main thing was that making tofu was quite tiring for her.
"How much per jin?" someone gathered the courage to ask.
"Five wen," she replied. "I originally wanted to sell it for ten wen, but I'll give you all a discount!"
"..."
The women were stunned.
That was crazily expensive.
Still, someone gritted their teeth and bought two jin.
Xie Zhinuan didn't weigh it, simply cutting off a piece and feeling it might not even be two jin, she charged ten wen.
The women felt heartache over this, yet recalled that Xie Zhinuan never really weighed things properly.
The children's foraged wild fruits were always given an estimated price, which was somewhat reassuring.
Having bought the tofu, they couldn't help but grumble on the way back, "This is way too expensive!"
"It sure is!"
