The woman was helpless due to the low price, and upon Li Xianglu mentioning something else was available, she immediately asked excitedly, "Do you still have this?"
Li Xianglu looked at the woman without changing her expression and did not answer. The woman, being clever, quickly handed Li Xianglu twenty yuan, an additional two yuan before taking the oil drum and leaving. It was not long before she returned with a fifty-year-old lady.
Both were visibly excited upon seeing Li Xianglu, especially the older lady who sized up Li Xianglu politely and asked, "Young lady, I would like a drum as well."
Li Xianglu took the drum and from her shoulder bag took out a small cloth bag, about half a kilogram in weight, and handed it over saying, "This is also available."
Upon seeing it was refined rice, the two lit up immediately. The woman, after looking around, pulled Li Xianglu to a corner eagerly and asked, "How much for this?"
