The two merchants were very satisfied with Jade City, but they said they needed to go back and prepare. Many things had to be moved in for the move, and with the heavy snow in winter making the roads treacherous, they agreed to come over in a month.
Qian Su, on the other hand, stayed behind directly.
"Business is tough nowadays. I plan to rest for this winter."
The young female merchant smoothed her faux bangs and discussed the state of the industry, "There's a natural distrust of small merchants among customers; many people think that as soon as we complete a transaction, we'll take off, which could very well be the case."
"The city is also wary of us, often calling us behind our backs 'tax thieves.' But that makes no sense. When you sell goods, you have to set up your stall at designated market spots and pay a stall fee upfront. There are specific patrol officers, and taxes must be paid on the spot for every transaction."
