"Sister, look at the apples from this stand! They're big and red, they must be sweet! They'd be perfect for Chinese New Year!" Xiao Bei dragged Ji Xinhe into the shop, cheering with excitement.
Fruit in this era was considered a luxury, only affordable to the rich. Ji Xinhe didn't dare imagine it in the past, but now that she had some money in her hands, she decided to buy some, especially during this festive season.
Ji Xinhe, with a flicker of resentment in her heart, glanced at the apples and thought they were not bad. She asked the owner to bag up three jin for her.
"These apples are three mace of silver per jin. So for three jin, just pay us nine mace of silver. If in the future you want to buy more fruit, just come to our little shop." The shopkeeper, being a shrewd businessman, generously waived the remainder.
Ji Xinhe nodded: "Thank you shopkeeper."
After buying the fruit, she was planning to leave immediately as there were many things waiting to be done.
