Chapter 209: Confrontation Caused by Glass Objects
She didn't want to cause trouble or ruin other people's business, she just complained quietly to herself.
I didn't expect that this stranger would dare to walk up to her, so don't blame her for being rude!
Shen Ru, who was standing by, quickly grabbed her arm and gently advised, "Pan Pan, forget it, maybe this glass ball really has something special."
She took Shen Ru's hand and whispered to her, "Second uncle, don't worry. The glass ball is not as mysterious as he said. I know it well."
Shen Ru let go of her hand, but still looked worried.
Su Panpan walked out calmly, with her arms folded across her chest, her chin slightly raised, and looked straight at the stranger.
She said slowly, "That's not my intention. It's just that in my opinion, your glass ball isn't as rare and precious as you say."
When the stranger heard this, his face turned red with anger and he raised his voice: "What do you know! The craftsmanship of making this glass ball is extremely difficult, how can a little girl like you understand it!"
The wealthy businessman's wife and the crowd who had been hesitant just now began to watch the confrontation between the outsider and Su Panpan.
The women came forward, their eyes fixed on the dazzling glass ball in the stranger's hand, their eyes showing obvious admiration. They gently twisted the silk handkerchief in their fingers, as if they were thinking whether the glass ball was worth spending ten taels of silver to buy it.
After a while, they whispered to each other, "This glass ball is indeed beautiful, but ten taels of silver is not a small amount. Although our family is not short of this little money, if I really buy such a small ball, will the master say that I am wasting money?"
Their faces were full of conflicted expressions. They were reluctant to part with the exquisite glass ball, but were also worried that spending money to buy it would cause dissatisfaction at home. They were wavering between buying it and not buying it, and could not make a decision.
A hesitant wife of a wealthy merchant spoke up at this moment, her eyes filled with curiosity and doubt: "This lady seems quite confident. How can she prove that these glass balls are not as precious as the outsiders say? Is it possible that she can produce a lot more?"
"That's right, but it would be interesting if she could really embarrass this outsider, so that he wouldn't set the price so high that we wouldn't be willing to buy it." Another wealthy businessman's wife echoed.
On the other side, a woman pulled her companion aside, staring at Su Panpan and the stranger, and whispered, "Look at this woman. Although she speaks in a tough tone, I don't know if she is really confident. That stranger doesn't look easy to mess with either."
His companion nodded in agreement. "Yes, but if she could get this stranger to lower the price, that would be even better. Maybe we could even afford it."
As Su Panpan and the stranger confronted each other, more and more people gathered around, and various noisy sounds were heard from the crowd from time to time.
The low murmurs of discussion intertwined with each other, buzzing like a swarm of bees flying.
Occasionally, one could hear a few surprised gasps, obviously shocked by Su Panpan's bold words.
Others were whispering, their voices filled with curiosity, wondering what would happen next: "What evidence can this girl provide to prove that the glass ball isn't that rare?"
"I think it's a close call. That stranger's words are so convincing that it's hard to refute them."
"But this glass ball does look like a rare thing. We have never seen that luster and that appearance before. This outsider talks about it in a very convincing way, saying it's made of thousand-year-old sand and has an ancestral recipe. How can this girl prove that it's not that precious?" A white-haired old lady squinted her eyes, looked at the glass ball, shook her head and said, her words full of doubt.
"Yeah, I think this ball is not simple. Just by a few words from this little girl, can she make such a rare thing worthless? I think it's difficult. Maybe she is just bragging." A dark-skinned middle-aged man crossed his arms, pouted and agreed, with disdain in his eyes.
"This glass ball is indeed extremely beautiful. Even gems are not as beautiful as it. The foreigner described the production process in such detail. If Su Panpan wants to prove that it is not that precious, she will have to produce something exactly the same. But that is not that easy." A young woman in satin clothes gently stroked the handkerchief in her hand, with curiosity and questioning in her eyes, and whispered to the people next to her.
"Hey, I'd like to see what tricks this little girl can come up with. But in my opinion, this glass ball is probably as precious as the outsiders say. She is just bragging, but there is no way to really prove it." A tall and thin young man stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck to look forward, muttering to himself, with an expression of watching a good show on his face.
From time to time, there would be a few voices cheering for Su Panpan's courage, but they were soon drowned out by more concerns and doubts.
The atmosphere at the entire scene became extremely tense and full of anticipation because of this confrontation. Everyone stared at the two people in the field, waiting to see how this good show would end.
Su Panpan looked at the onlookers and heard what they said, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
She looked at the stranger's angry face and said slowly, "Oh, don't be angry. Although I'm young, I've seen a lot of things. These glass balls you're talking about are just ordinary, cheap things that can be found everywhere. If I want to get them, I can get you several baskets of them, do you believe it?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at Su Panpan in surprise and started whispering to each other.
The stranger was even more anxious and angry: "Don't lie! This glass ball of mine has been passed down for hundreds of years. It's not as ordinary as you say."
"Madam, why don't you take it out and show it to everyone!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Yeah, take it out and let me see."
"Yeah, I want to open my eyes too."
Voices rose one after another from the crowd.
Hearing the shouts of the onlookers, the outsider looked at Su Panpan with a smug look on his face.
"What I can't stand most is people who exaggerate ordinary things and ask for exorbitant prices. I not only have glass balls, but also glass cups, glass bottles, glass bowls, and glass plates." Su Panpan responded fearlessly.
"If you can really get a few baskets, I'll give you everything on my stall!"
When Su Panpan heard this, her heart was filled with joy. Hey, you brought this upon yourself, and this is just a chance for you to admit defeat with a clear conscience.
He then said loudly, "Okay! You said it, and everyone heard it. Don't go back on your word!"
The stranger snorted, "Of course I'm a man of my word, but what if you can't get it?"
