Kapitel 136: Chapter 136 One hand pays money, the other hand delivers goods

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Miss, this is a good pearl, of good quality and quite large. Plus, black pearls are indeed valuable. I really do need such a pearl. However, our Quanya County is a small place. A thing that would fetch a thousand taels in other places here would have to be discounted. If this pearl were in Capital City, it might sell for a thousand taels, but in our place, I can only offer you a hundred and twenty taels."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, afraid that Yang Chuxia would not agree, he added, "Actually, my offer may seem a bit low, but in this entire county, it's not really small. If you go to another shop, the most you would get is hundred taels. Moreover, that would be if you meet a kind-hearted boss. If you encounter someone with a shallow sense of morality, you might not only fail to get a hundred taels, but you might also lose everything."
