"I need one of this size, and another one a little smaller. Two in total. Brother Erhu, can I give you one cent each?"
“Where would we get so many?” Sun Erhu immediately shook his head.
"Yes, it's a craft, it takes time!"
Shiyue didn't give him another chance to refuse: "Brother Erhu, I need it urgently. It takes several days to travel from here to the provincial capital and back, so I want to leave as soon as possible. When is the earliest you can give me the box?"
Sun Erhu thought for a moment: "If we don't weave baskets, these two will probably take two days."
