Chapter 23: Refining Talisman
Standing in front of the boy’s booth, Zhu Lin looked at the papers and knew that the quality of the papers was very good. The boy who was closing his eyes to rest felt someone around him and opened his eyes.
When he saw a very beautiful elder sister browsing his wares, he asked, "Elder Sister, do you want to buy paper or writing brushes and pens? All my items are of high quality. They have not been damp or crushed before, and the packaging is intact."
Zhu Lin touched the paper and knew that the boy was telling the truth. She looked at the boy and asked, "How much is this paper?"
Since she only had a few crystal nucleus, Zhu Lin would not be able to afford it if the price was too high. She thought for a second, and then added: "Can you give me a cheaper price?"
Haggling is not uncommon in this market. So when she asked for a cheaper price, the boy smiled and said, "Elder Sister, if you buy more, I will naturally lower the price for you. How much do you want to buy?"
Zhu Lin smiled, pointing to a pack of papers she likes and asked, "Then how much is this pack of paper?"
The boy looked at the best quality paper selected by Zhu Lin and said, "My items are very cheap. Two slices of bread can buy three packs of this paper."
Zhu Lin was a little surprised to hear that the boy wanted food instead of crystal nucleus. Looking at the package of papers, she made a rough calculation, and guessed that there were at least two hundred sheets of paper in one pack. Exchanging two slices of bread for six hundred sheets of paper is extremely cheap.
Seeing her surprised expression, the boy quickly said, "Two pieces of bread for four packs of paper. The price couldn’t be lowered anymore."
