Chapter 426 Reasoning

River Dam, dusk.

After the temperature dropped, people stepped out of their homes to enjoy the cool of the summer.

The vegetable seller pointed at the digital scale, "Exactly one and a half pounds, that'll be 13 yuan and 50 cents."

Jiang Ning, with her Divine Sense, judged the real weight was only one pound and two ounces, and the digital scale was cheating by eight ounces.

The price of 13 yuan and 50 cents was far beyond Xue Yuantong's budget; firstly, she found it expensive, and secondly, it was too much.

She had intended to buy just a small amount of ginger, but the vegetable seller deliberately grabbed a few extra pieces, a common occurrence where vendors tend to make you buy more. Those who are shy often feel embarrassed to ask for less.

"Sir, please take off these few pieces," Xue Yuantong said.

The vegetable seller was reluctant, and under Xue Yuantong's urging, he slowly removed about two-thirds of the ginger, leaving one-third on the scale.
