Grandpa Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Alright, since you're asking for a large quantity and it'll save us some hassle, we'll give you a discount. How about we all give the young lad a 20% discount?"
The latter part of his words was directed at the surrounding grandmas and grandpas.
These elderly folks discussed amongst themselves; offering a 20% discount was still profitable because, come afternoon, when the vegetables wilted, even at half price some might find them undesirable.
"Alright, alright, let's do as Brother Jiang suggested, sell to the lad at a 20% discount."
"Grandma here still has over twenty pounds of green peppers; I'll charge you two yuan per pound, let's say forty yuan in total."
"Grandpa here has over fifty pounds of potatoes; isn't that a bit too much? Young lad, maybe take a bit less; they might be too much to eat otherwise."
