"The topic of this market research is: At 7 a.m., how much would you spend at minimum to buy 10 pounds of spinach from a prime spot in a rural market.
"Aunt Su, you must know the answer, right? How much do you think it should be?" Li Renshu asked.
Su Xiuqin was momentarily surprised, and said matter-of-factly: "Ten bucks! Or maybe even six or seven bucks."
Although Li Renshu had somewhat expected that the price might be lower than she had anticipated, hearing this number from Su Xiuqin still shocked her a bit.
She widened her eyes in surprise: "Aunt Su, are you sure? Spinach for less than a dollar a pound?
"Moreover, this is the prime time at 7 a.m. in a rural market, shouldn't the price reflect that?"
Su Xiuqin shook her head repeatedly: "Not at all!
"In fact, prices are cheaper early in the morning and late at night. The location doesn't really affect the price of the vegetables."
