Mr. Tong dared to offer one thousand US dollars because naturally, he had his confidence.
The price did seem somewhat inflated, but you couldn't say there was a problem with the quality of his merchandise.
The little girl brought back by Mr. Tong appeared to have delicate features, soft and tender skin, and her almond-shaped eyes were brimming with spirit, indicating that she could potentially grow into a great beauty.

Mr. Tong was very skilled at packaging his merchandise. Having pre-empted the client's status, he didn't dress her like a maid from a grand household but instead matched her with an off-white Western-style dress that made her look as refreshing and pristine as a porcelain doll.
There is a noticeable difference in temperament between those who have been educated and those who have not.
