Chapter 54: First day on the job, part 3.

"Next!" He yelled, and a porcelain vase was placed on the counter. A leftover from trader Hua.

"I'll buy it!" a young man said. Nikola waited for him to continue, but when nothing happened, he blinked.

"Do repeat that," was the man going to attempt to haggle with him right as he was packaging the vase?

"I'll buy it! I'll pay right away. I'm from the next village over, and I won't be able to come during the winter. How much is it?"

Nikola could cry now, so happy he was. What a kind soul!

"Two gold pieces!" granny Nuo Nuying snapped, and Nikola looked at her. She shrugged. "I've seen this vase in the shop before. You sell too cheaply, Niki. If you want to make a profit, then start charging for the craftsmanship too, not just the materials!"

 Nikola would have sold it for fifty silvers. But then the man took out two gold coins and looked at him expectantly.

"I want it wrapped with a red silk band. It's for my wife."
