Chapter 1533 - 336, Selling Oneself (One More Update)
How to compensate? Their family has no silver to pay. All the silver they begged from Father Yinxing was spent by her mother on new clothes.
Huai Hua bit her lip tightly and braved herself to ask, "How much silver do you want me to pay?"
Lin Yuan shrugged her shoulders and counted on her fingers, "You caused a disturbance at our Dongtian entrance for a whole morning, affecting our business for that time. Usually, our shop has three hundred customers a day, but mornings are less busy, so let’s count it as a hundred for half a day! The cheapest dish in our Dongtian costs five taels of silver, and just for drinking tea and eating pastries it costs two taels of silver, so these hundred people..."
Listening to Lin Yuan mutter to herself, Huai Hua’s face turned pale, and she asked incredulously: "Two hundred taels of silver? How can it be so expensive! You’re lying!"
Lin Yuan raised her eyebrow and said curiously, "Why would I lie? There are so many people from the Capital city here, if you don’t believe me, you can ask them, see if what I’m saying is true?"
Lin Yuan’s gaze was clear, and her complexion natural, one could tell she was telling the truth just by looking at her.
Huai Hua and her family were from a village outside the city, and if they hadn’t come to the Capital city to ask Father Yinxing for silver today, they probably wouldn’t have known how expensive things at Dongtian are.
Hearing people around them speaking about how delicious Dongtian’s offerings are, Huai Hua no longer sought to verify whether Lin Yuan’s claim of two hundred taels of silver was true.
