Zhou Wulang's eyebrows twitched fiercely. He offered Director Xiao's price of ninety wen per hundred catties, but by the time it reached the steward, the price had more than doubled.
Who does business like this?
A buyer rushing to offer a price to the seller?
Zhou Wulang was never one to cheat people, and now he felt a bit panicked. Thinking further about Manbao working under Director Xiao, if he lowered the price at the front then later raised it to sell to the Imperial Hospital, what would Director Xiao think of Manbao?
So, already feeling it was inappropriate, Zhou Wulang shook his head straight and saw the steward's face turn displeased. He simply picked up two vegetable baskets and said, "I won't sell."
With that, he turned his head and left.
The steward froze for a moment before silently cursing, "Crafty little thing, are you trying to take all our orders or what?"
"Steward, should we go and stop him?"
