It was especially true for parents with younger children. The townsfolk wanted to bring some delicious food home for their children.
However, the candied chestnuts cost ten coins per pound, which was a little expensive. The townsfolk would consider buying some if they could be cheaper.
Su Binglan knew one could not be too rigid in business and had to be flexible, so she said smilingly, "I put quite a bit of sugar into these chestnuts to get that sweet flavor. I'm sure you all know how expensive sugar is, so I hope you can all understand that we must consider the cost of making these candied chestnuts. How about I give you some extra as a gift? I can give you two and a half pounds."
The townsfolk knew it was more cost-effective that way. It would be a bargain to receive some extra as a gift, the equivalent of saving five coins.
"Okay, I'll take two pounds of these delicious candied chestnuts for now."
