"He's in the hall." Yingbao thought that the Lizheng was there, like everyone else, to see her gourd, so she led him there.
Only one large gourd remained in the hall at this moment. The other had been taken home by Jiang Quan, who planned to bring it to the marketplace next time to draw a crowd. After all, they couldn't always bring his little cousin to the market.
Sun Licheng touched the large gourd and asked, "Yingbao, how much are you selling this gourd for?"
Yingbao thought for a moment and gave him a middle-of-the-road price: "The shopkeeper in Simen Town offered thirty taels of silver for it last time, and this one is about the same size as that one, so it's also thirty taels."
Sun Licheng was quite happy to hear this because his second son had given him fifty taels to buy a gourd to attract business.
He just saved twenty taels out of nowhere, which he had no plans of returning to his son.
