Ye Panjiu walked straight to the accountant who was holding an abacus.
"Shopkeeper, I see you're buying charcoal?"
The accountant with the mustache raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him.
He subtly suppressed the corners of his mouth; those patches clearly indicated poverty.
"Okay, let me see your charcoal."
Ye Panjiu led the way.
When they arrived at the oxcart, the accountant's eyes lit up when he saw the small mountain of charcoal.
He stopped abruptly, shaking his head, "You've given me far too little charcoal."
Ye Panjiu explained, "This is just the first batch; there will be many more later..."

The accountant stepped forward and grabbed the ox rope. "Let's talk this over. Let me take another look at this charcoal."
Ye Panjiu didn't say anything, but jumped off the oxcart and made way for her.
The accountant reached out and pinched the charcoal, then tapped it.
I was somewhat shocked. This charcoal was clearly not watered, and it looked better with fewer crumbs.
"It's alright, two coins a pound, I'll take it if it's acceptable."
Ye Panjiu didn't miss a single one of his subtle movements. "My charcoal is better than others', and I won't ask for more. It's three coins a pound. From now on, all the charcoal I burn will be given to your family."
