"If it's not the same but is sold for the same price, wouldn't some people make a profit and some people make a loss?" Xie Ying asked.
"It's like this, whether you make a profit or a loss depends entirely on luck. In one of the wooden boxes, there is also a pair of calligraphy from the Tibetan monk, and those who buy that pair of calligraphy only need to pay five taels of silver." The shopkeeper continued to explain.
"Another Tibetan monk’s works? I heard that you gave away a pair of calligraphy works of a Tibetan monk on the first day you opened. Why do you have so much calligraphy of Tibetan monks? I heard my mother say that Tibetan monks don’t really like to give away their calligraphy to others.”
"Miss, please rest assured that the calligraphy of the Tibetan monk in my shop is definitely authentic. My boss, Lord Heyou, and the Tibetan monk are close friends, so we have obtained many Tibetan monk's calligraphy."
Shopkeeper Jia also learned recently that his boss was a person named Lord Heyou, not the simple and honest farmer who lived in the backyard.
He thought it was more reasonable, otherwise he would really doubt his ability to judge people.
"What if I want to directly purchase the ink treasures of the Tibetan monk? How much do you want?" Xie Ying asked.
Her brother likes calligraphy and painting, so he would be happy if she gave him the calligraphy of a Tibetan monk.
"This calligraphy cannot be purchased directly, it can only be purchased by luck." Explained Shopkeeper Jia. "In addition, we will register all customers who purchase the 'mystery box' launched by our store this time. Afterwards, our boss, Lord Heyou, will randomly select a lucky customer and write a recommendation letter to the Tibetan monk."
This recommendation letter didn't really attract Xie Ying because her brother was studying in an academy in the capital and didn't really need to learn it from others.
But Xie Ying knew that there must be many students in Xingshan County who want to receive this recommendation letter. If it were really as the shopkeeper said, his boss had a good relationship with the Tibetan monk.
"In that case, I'll take all the boxes on that shelf!" Miss Xie Ying was very generous and the moment she opened her mouth, she wanted all the boxes.
Shopkeeper Jia smiled and apologized: "I'm sorry, miss. Each person can only buy two of these mystery boxes."
"Why? I would have paid for it if I wanted to buy it, so why don't you let me buy it?" Xie Ying asked.
"It's like this, if someone buys all the boxes, they must be able to get the calligraphy of the Tibetan monk and the recommendation letter promised by our Lord Heyou. In this way, the fairness of this game is lost, and whoever comes first and has money will definitely receive the reward."
Shopkeeper Jia had given the same explanation to several people in the past few days.
After hearing this, Xie Ying felt that it made some sense and nodded: "You have a point, it really wouldn't be fun if this was the case."
"Yes, yes, thank you for understanding, Miss."
"Well then, I'll buy two." Xie Ying said.
"Okay, Miss, you can choose freely on the shelves." Shopkeeper Jia said.
Xie Ying walked up to the shelf and picked up one, then picked up the other to take a look.
She wasn't interested in the calligraphy of the Tibetan monk, but due to the "mystery box" gameplay, she became very competitive.
If she could only buy two and get the box with the Tibetan monk’s calligraphy, she would definitely be able to boast to her brother about it later!
After looking around, Xie Ying asked, "Is that all that's left? Is there anything else? I want to see them all."
"No, we started this activity at the beginning of this month, and we only have a few boxes left today," said Shopkeeper Jia.
