"How much?"
The man held up three fingers and said, "Thirty taels."
Li Sisi also noticed that the gilded flower bag was almost identical to the one Li Nian often used in Beijing. The only difference was that the pattern on it was not as exquisite as Li Nian's.
Is a bag so expensive?
Neither of the two best friends is the type to love shopping. When they traveled through time, the original owner had a lot of clothes, accessories, and bags, which were more than enough for them, so they didn't pay attention to the value of these things.
I only thought that the accessories were valuable so I just bought it as an accessory, but I didn’t expect the bag to be so expensive?
Li Nian looked at the light pink flower bag and thought about the set of twelve styles of gilded flower bags that Xiao Yunyu bought for her. How much did it cost in total!
If I had known this earlier, I would have found an excuse to pawn that bag for some money!
Moreover, this gilded flower pouch is obviously a fake. Fakes are so expensive, let alone the authentic ones!
Seeing that the two men were engrossed in watching, the waiter said, "How about taking it down and letting the two captains take a look?"
"No, we're not buying bags." Li Sisi looked around the shops and stopped at the first shop on the left. "Do you have any thicker clothes here?"
"Yes," the waiter hurriedly led the way, "please follow me."
When I came to the first shop, I saw that most of the clothes inside were dark-colored robes.
It was different from the colorful brocade and silk long skirts and clothes displayed in the shops in the capital.
The clothes here are all made of rough, high-quality silk cloth, with dark colors, just like the dark tones of this city.
There is a red plum waistcoat that looks very stunning in the dark color.
Li Sisi immediately fell in love with the waistcoat, her eyes lit up: "How much is that waistcoat?"
"Four hundred and twenty wen."
"How much?" Li Sisi's face was filled with disbelief and shock. Did she hear correctly? That fake bag just now cost thirty taels, and such a beautiful waistcoat was only four hundred and twenty wen?
"Well... considering you two just bought hairpins, I'll give you a little extra." The waiter said with a smile, "How about four hundred coins?"
"Ah? Ah..." Li Sisi knew that the clerk had misunderstood, but she also understood that bargaining was allowed in this store!
She turned her head to look at Li Nian: "Niannian, do you have any clothes you like?"
Li Nian pointed at the misty blue high silk shirt: "That one!"
The guy gave an awkward smile and said, "Girl, with your height... your clothes need to be custom made."
Li Nian looked at the waiter in astonishment: "I... okay." No, isn't she that short? She should be at least 160cm tall, right? She needs to have her clothes custom-made?
"Sisi, you buy it first."
Li Sisi also didn't expect that such a big store would not cheat customers and take advantage of their short stature.
"Okay, I'll buy it first, and then I'll go with you to other stores to see if there's anything suitable."
The clerk listened to her and thought to himself: With this girl's height, she either needs to have something custom made or buy a children's style. His shop doesn't have it, and it's unlikely that other shops will have it.
Li Sisi chose clothes quickly, mainly because she didn't like the colors in this store. She randomly picked a black high silk shirt to match the red plum-colored waistcoat.
"That's all. Could you please calculate how much it costs?"
"Two taels of silver hairpin, a long silk gown worth six hundred coins, and a small waistcoat worth the agreed four hundred coins." The clerk took the things and walked to the high counter. "Boss, please calculate it for me."
The shopkeeper took out his abacus and calculated: "A total of four taels."
Li Sisi frowned. "So expensive? Two taels of silver for just two pieces of coarse cloth? That's too expensive. Could you please make it a little cheaper?"
The waiter hurriedly said, "Miss, I've already given you twenty cents, you can't go any cheaper."
Li Sisi thought for a moment and began to bargain: "How about this, I won't let you lower the price of the silver hairpin, and you can give me a small discount on this long gown. How about three or four hundred coins for all?"
The shopkeeper's fingers clattered on the abacus again, and then he said, "Don't joke with me, girl. If we give you this price, we will lose a lot of money."
"Then tell me your lowest price. If I can accept it, I will take it," Li Sisi said to the shopkeeper.
"Where is the red plum waistcoat I want?" a loud female voice sounded.
The waiter quickly trotted over and said, "Miss Chen, you're here? Are you talking about that waistcoat?" He pointed to the counter.
"That's the one!" A tall girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes strode over. "This waistcoat is the one I like!"
Her tone was blunt, but her eyes froze when she saw Li Sisi and Li Nian.
