But he didn't show anything on his face. He said, "Just black and skin tone, two sets of each. Add two more sets of the middle ones. Hmm? Give me one set of the two bright red ones too, and add one more set of the middle ones. Oh, and two sets of the pink and green ones too!"

There are five sizes available. I chose twelve styles, and with the additional sizes I added, I have 545 sizes. At seven yuan per piece, that's 3,815 yuan, which isn't a small amount.

"By the way, do you have any cheaper options? I'd like to get some too." We can't just sell at one price; we need to get some cheaper ones to make up the difference.

"Yes, look at these cheaper ones. If you want them, I'll give them to you for four yuan and fifty cents." The shopkeeper pulled out a few samples from the bottom row and handed them to Zhang Xuemei.

Zhang Xuemei touched it, then tore it open to take a look. She thought it was alright, so she took five of them back and added a few more numbers.

The boss wrote down the item number and quantity Zhang Xuemei wanted in his notebook, then picked up the calculator next to him and typed away, "Four thousand two hundred and seventy-four, I'll round it down for you, four thousand two hundred and seventy!"

"Are you taking the goods directly, or will someone deliver them to you later? We have someone here at 10:30 to take them to the city center. It's just a small fee; ten yuan is enough for such a large quantity."

"Thank you, boss."

Zhang Xuemei didn't want to carry it back herself, so she left her address and asked the shop owner to have someone deliver it directly to the store.

Xu Mingwan, with a keen eye, took out a wad of cash from his backpack, counted out four thousand two hundred and seventy, and handed it over.
