Chapter 104 The Joy of Watching People Haggle on the Shangsi Festival



"Alright, alright," the plump aunt said victoriously, taking out a small piece of silver. "This piece of silver is six qian. I weighed it at home. Give me one qian back."

"Okay, okay."

"Sigh, it's really frustrating to encounter customers like you," the shopkeeper said as he took the money and, without hesitation, picked up the small scale next to him to weigh it.

"There is no problem with reverting to the original name."

He started rummaging through the drawer.

"Oh dear, what bad luck! I have plenty of silver coins here today, not a single copper coin."

"I can't reach you now."

"Here's what I'll do: I'll add a scrap of cloth for you. It'll be an absolute steal!"

Murong Yue took a comfortable sip.

Then he took out a steaming handkerchief and wiped his hands.

That feels good.

"Let's go over there."

Murong Yue walked across the street to the grain shop with her hands behind her back.

In Daqing, there were government-run and privately-run grain shops. The prices of government-run shops were stable, while the prices of privately-run shops fluctuated.

When the market fluctuates, the price of grain sold privately is relatively high, so ordinary people will buy from government-run grain stores.
