?Chapter 90: Chapter 89: I Wronged Her Chapter 90: Chapter 89: I Wronged Her Perhaps because they had been stored in the space for so many years, the gemstones’ clarity and luster seemed particularly brilliant in the palm of Chen Afu’s fair and tender hand.
Mr. Bai, the shopkeeper, laughed when he saw them. He took the stones and inspected them carefully by the window, then said, “Not bad. How much are you expecting, young lady?”
Chen Afu replied with a smile, “I’ve heard that Mr. Bai has an excellent reputation. You treat a business worth one to two taels of silver with the same importance as a 1,000 taels business, that’s why I came specifically to your Silver Tower. I didn’t even consider going to another.”
Mr. Bai laughed heartily and said, “How eloquently you speak, young lady. You spoke highly of me, so it wouldn’t be fitting for me to haggle with you.” He turned back to the window and looked at the stones again, and said “These three rubies are mediocre in quality and not large, but their luster is commendable, so they’re likely worth 90 taels of silver at most. This emerald is quite good, with fine transparency and luster. Let’s make it 300 taels of silver, how does that sound?”
This was much higher than Chen Afu’s expected price. Mr. Bai was indeed a fair dealer. She would have to tell Jin Yanzi in the future to not set her sights on this shop, no matter how tempted she was.
But she had to haggle to make it feel like a proper business deal, she couldn’t just accept whatever price he gave. So she smiled and said, “Mr. Bai, although I don’t know a lot about this business, I do know that emeralds are delicate and not easy to cut or polish. This emerald is already cut and can be directly set into jewelry, isn’t it worth a bit more?”
Mr. Bai replied, “The price I offered isn’t low. How about this, I’ll add another 20 taels, but I can’t go any higher.”
A total of 410 taels, which was very good. Chen Afu’s eyes crinkled in delight as she said, “Deal.”
