The shopkeeper had a gentle smile on his face and politely gestured towards a carved redwood chair, saying, "Please take a seat, miss."
Qin Sisi expressed her gratitude and obediently took a seat as directed. The shopkeeper also sat down next to her and, with a smile, introduced himself, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the owner of Ju Ya Zhai, and my surname is Zheng. The locals around here call me Boss Zheng."
Qin Sisi smiled and nodded, "Hello, Boss Zheng."
"You're too kind," Boss Zheng responded modestly, then moved on to the main subject, "May I ask what item has the miss brought with her today?"
Qin Sisi took out the Buddha Beads from her backpack, which she had wrapped in a white handkerchief, and placed them before Boss Zheng.
