"Old man, I came in a bit of a hurry this time, and I haven't saved up much money, so let's start with just two pearls, any quality will do,"
Su Ran said offhandedly. He was collecting pearls only to establish a good relationship with the village elder and prevent the old man from being hostile towards him. Right now, pearls were of no use to him whatsoever.
"Alright, I'll find some for you, cough cough."
After saying this, the village elder exerted himself for quite a while before finally taking out two small pearls and handing them to Su Ran, "Since we know each other, the regular price is fine, one gold piece each."
Upon inspection, Su Ran saw they were of quality 1, the worst kind of pearls...
This old coot really knows how to calculate!
However, Su Ran didn't bother to haggle with him. Time was pressing and the task urgent, so he simply handed over two gold coins to settle the matter.
