"Buying so much? Can you even drink it all?" Zhang Chenghou asked in surprise.
"I'm in business, you see. The tea this elder has picked is excellent, and I thought it'd be great for entertaining guests. It would definitely give me face!" Xu Fang said, half-joking and half-serious.
"If you want to buy... how much are you thinking of paying?" The villagers were simple folks, and Zhang Chenghou felt somewhat embarrassed discussing money.
Two Thousand Yuan would probably be enough to take all of it, Xu Fang estimated. But now that I know its true value, offering such a low price would be insulting. After a moment of consideration, Xu Fang said, "Elder, I'll give you twenty thousand yuan for 20 catties."
"Twenty thousand? No, no, that's far too much! There's no need for that!" As soon as Xu Fang mentioned the price, Zhang Chenghou began waving his hands frantically.
