"Twenty copper coins will be enough." It's about the same price outside, so it can't be considered unscrupulous.
"Okay..." Old Mrs. Feng gritted her teeth and counted out twenty copper coins and handed them to Suihe. She took the wooden barrel from her hand, but did not pick up the herbs on the ground.
"I'll give this to your home. I picked them on the roadside anyway, so they're not worth much. Just return the basket to me later!"
