This changed Pei Yun's impression of Xue Wenju. He had thought that he was a mediocre county magistrate who only knew how to hang around the gentry.
Pei Yun said: "To be honest with you, I still have a lot of masks, most of which are in Qingyang City. If you need them, I can go back to Qingyang City to get them."
Xue Wenju was overjoyed. When he heard Pei Yun say that the mask production process was complicated during the day, he thought there were not many, so he just asked with a try-it attitude. He didn't expect that the other party actually had a large number of masks.
"I want as many masks as you have, but I just want to see if the price can be reduced a little."

Zhang Zeshan was choked and speechless.
Liu Jingzhi said, "Prince Wang, do you still have the noble version of the mask? I want to buy the noble version."
"Of course, I brought them all."
He opened the box he brought with him and said, "The masks for the noble class are ten taels of silver each. I pay with one hand and I receive the goods with the other."
