After Qi Quanjin returned to the main room, he thought up a way to relay the lines his wife had just taught him to the county magistrate.
Hu Kaicheng, after serving as a magistrate for so many years, naturally wasn't simple-minded.
If he really were simple-minded, he couldn't have stayed in one place for so many years; he would have been reassigned to some poorer place long ago.
So, he understood the implication in Qi Quanjin's words.
Fortunately, he wasn't really trying to take advantage of the Qi Family, so he readily accepted the explanation.
"I left in a hurry this time and didn't bring much silver. Here are two taels of silver for you first; you figure out a way to arrange for me. If it's not enough, we'll top it up when the vegetables are delivered."
Hu Kaicheng pulled two pieces of broken silver from his sleeve and placed them on the table.
Qi Quanjin was startled.
How many greens would this amount to?
