After some thought, she opened her mouth to inquire about the price, "Comrade Jiang, how much are you planning to charge me for these earrings?"
"I'll give them to you for twenty yuan and fifty cents a pair. Over in Haicheng, they're selling for more than nineteen yuan. I haven't made much money on each pair, and as for how much you can make, that's up to how much you sell them for," said Jiang Changhai with a pained expression, as if it hurt him to part with the earrings.
The moment the salesclerk heard the price, she was tempted. She could sell each pair of earrings for at least twenty-two yuan.
If she wasn't in a hurry and sold them slowly, it wasn't impossible to sell them for twenty-three or twenty-four yuan.
For each pair, she could make more than three yuan—that was like money blown in by a strong wind!
After all, rarity adds value, and pearls like these couldn't be found in the town, let alone the county.
