It was precisely because of this thought that Tian Tian was even more sincere:
"I've sorted this sack out, 10 pounds per pack, for a total of 4 packs of tender board chestnuts."
When board chestnuts were not yet mature, if you peeled off the spiky shell, they would quickly age and then lose their fresh, sweet, and tender taste.
So, if you want to enjoy fresh and delicious ones, you have to keep them with their spiky shells.
But that meant a 10-pound pack was quite substantial. Now that she had brought them over in a sack, Tian Tian felt a little embarrassed:
"I was thinking of mailing them myself, but the express delivery in town is too expensive... I was thinking since you guys ship parcels daily, maybe you have a discounted rate or something. I can pay for it..."
"We do, we do!" Wu Lan, who had been listening for a while, quickly interjected, "Our express shipping rates are cheap, and since you're bringing so many board chestnuts, let's not talk about money."
