Eighty!
That's not a small amount!
Xiaoxia's heart leaped with joy, but she knew if she agreed too eagerly, Meifang might think she had offered too much and feel uncomfortable.
Her face showed distress, "Auntie, could you add a little more? Such large and fine Lingzhi mushrooms are really hard to come by. If I sell this to you, I might not come across another one like it. It'll all be a matter of luck!"
Meifang agreed, seeing the sense in her words. "Young lady, I'll add another five yuan, but that's all I can do. I don't have any more on me right now..."
How could she have known this young lady would come to her today? She only had that much cash on her.
She could have borrowed from a colleague, but what would that look like?
Linxia saw her chance and took it, thinking an extra five yuan was pretty good; it covered her train ticket back home and still left her with one yuan and fifty cents.
