Lu Ting took a deep breath and bellowed out the answers at the crowd, "A bar of soap would cost four hundred copper coins, and a gift box of five bars of soap would cost two taels of silver.
"Each of the young mistresses can only buy a gift box of soap or a bar of soap.
"This time we have three times the supply to sell so don't you worry too much about getting some."
The young mistresses frowned at her announcement.
"What? Only a gift box of the soap or a bar of soap?"
"That would make it so hard to get one!"
"Ren, you better make sure you go for the gift box once you get into the store and head for the counter to make the payment immediately."
"You too Xin, did you hear that? Don't make me whip you if you can't get one."
They made some noise about how much one could buy but they weren't too concerned with the four-time increase from a hundred copper coins to four hundred copper coins for a bar of soap.
Being able to get one was all that mattered for them.
