Today was their first time delivering goods. Shopkeeper Tang personally brought them with a helper, each item weighing ten pounds. On the scale, some were a pound or two over. Xu Zhichun laughed and said: “Shopkeeper Tang counts them as ten pounds and the extra is a gift from us.”
A grand restaurant doesn’t lack this bit of money, but who doesn’t love generous words?
Shopkeeper Tang wasn’t pretentious, and said with a cheerful smile: “Alright, thanks to fortune we got a pound or two extra. How long will you be selling at the market before leaving? If sales go well, I’ll send someone to tell how much to bring tomorrow.”
