The Shopkeeper took the silver, weighed it in his hand, and chuckled. "No need for a scale. This is two taels. I've been doing this for decades and have handled more silver than I can count. I'm never wrong."
"Here's your change—five hundred copper coins."
The Shopkeeper brought out a string of Copper Coins and set it on the counter.
Gu Fei took them and casually tucked them away inside her clothes.
The Shopkeeper watched her, his eyes crinkling. "You're not going to count them? What if a few are missing?"
Gu Fei smiled. "I can tell you're a decent man at a glance. Besides, you're running such a big business. Why would you bother shorting someone a few Copper Coins? There's no need to count."
With that, Gu Fei went outside to help Mrs. Chen.
The Shopkeeper watched her retreating figure and said to the young attendant beside him, "That little girl is no ordinary person. She's got real presence—open and generous."
