「Evening.」
「Outside the East City Gate.」
Gu Gaoxu fumed:
"Insolent peasants!!
They're all insolent peasants!!
Refusing to sell for two hundred taels!! What's there to be so damn smug about!!"
The whole afternoon had nearly made Gu Gaoxu sick with rage.
Earlier, around noon, Gu Gaoxu had spotted the bicycle and wanted to buy one to try it out.
The Shopkeeper said they were priced at two taels and two.
'Is that even considered money?'
Gu Gaoxu immediately took out the money, intending to buy one on the spot.
But no matter what, the Shopkeeper wouldn't sell, insisting he had to wait until the sales began on the second day of the second month.
Gu Gaoxu kept raising his offer, but the man wouldn't sell even for two hundred taels.
It made Gu Gaoxu want to punch someone.
However, when he saw the clerks standing beside the Shopkeeper, he thought better of it and let it go.
"Damn it, all of you just wait!
The day I return, I'll be sure to tear that shop to the ground!!"
