As soon as these words were spoken, someone nearby smacked their own head, angered. "Stop saying things like that from now on. Our furs are already hard to sell; if you keep saying this fur is bad or that fur doesn't look good, what if Zhou Si stops buying them altogether?"
"I'm just worried about one thing—does Zhou Si really have tea leaves?"
"Definitely he does. I've heard the Shu region has plenty of tea leaves, but those tea merchants look down on people like us. They think our tribe is too small to bother and refuse to sell their tea leaves to us."
Of course, merchants wouldn't care about their tribe's size; they simply think the money they offer is too little.
But when the furs can't be sold, there's no money. Moreover, those merchants specializing in fur trade not only push the prices down to absurdly low levels but also refuse to buy if there's even the slightest flaw.
