“That’s all. Settle account.”

The shopkeeper took an abacus and calculated the account, “All total is… 272 wen. Seeing that young man takes care of my business, I’ll take out the remainder 2 wen and charge a total of 270 wen.”

Qin Mian said with a smile: “As shopkeeper said, we are taking care of your business. You see, we buy so many in one purchase, it’d be better to charge 250 wen. We will definitely come to patronize again when our oil, salt rice and flour are finished. Correct?”

Lei Tie’s eyes fell on Qin Mian, this teenager brought more and more surprises to him.

The shopkeeper was stunned and smiled helplessly. “Young man has the gift of the gab. But we are a small business and to cut down the price this way is too cruel. How about I cut another 5 wen, otherwise I will make a loss.”

“How so?” Qin Mian swiftly said, “You see the goods here are so complete, everyone who knows will come to your shop to buy things. You can imagine how prosperous the business will be. After I return to the village, I’ll help you to publicize, which will bring more money. Charge less will bring more repeat customers. It’s a good deal!”

The shopkeeper couldn’t help laughing, but there was a helpless look in his eyes. “Alright, alright, charge 250 wen is just fine.”

“Many thanks, shopkeeper.” Only then Qin Mian was satisfied, cupped one fist in the other hand towards the shopkeeper and then beckoned Lei Tie to pay the bill.

There was big pile of things; the plates, tea sets and porcelain cups which were easy to break were put in rice and flour, so not to be easily collided by pressure.

The shopkeeper nodded to himself, this young man is clever.

Fortunately, the basket was big enough to hold almost everything. The neck of the oil jar and the salt jar were tied with a rope and directly held in Lei Tie’s hand.

When they were leaving, the shopkeeper sent them off for a bit of a distance.

Qin Mian reached out. “I’ll hold oil and salt.”

“No need.” Lei Tie avoided his hand, “I will make more money in the future, so that you can buy whatever you want.”

“Cough cough!” Qin Mian pretended not to hear, “We have more things to buy. Do we hire a cart? Is it expensive to hire a cart?”

“Don’t know.”

“Don’t mind it. Spend on what should be spent; money can be earned.” Qin Mian went to a cloth shop with purpose. Because he had been wandering around before, he had already remembered it.

Lei Tie walked on the outer side of him as to avoid him bumping into people as he looked around.

Once arrived at the cloth shop, Qin Mian asked about the prices of various kinds of cloth before he directly chose the cheapest linen. When he asked what color Lei Tie wants, he got “you pick” as response, and so he chose blue and cyan for himself, indigo and black for Lei Tie. Each color was to be made into a set of clothes and would be picked up in a few days. After that, he asked for two pieces of gray cloth for window curtains. Four sets of clothes, two pieces of cloth, plus the labor cost of making clothes were a total of 285 Wen.
