"Soy sauce?" Ah Man was stunned again, feeling like this wasn't what she was thinking at all, and asked in confusion, "Of course I know that—who doesn't? Isn't it just the sauce leftover from brewing miso? Monks love to eat it, and wealthy merchants and nobles are pretty fond of it too, so what about it?"
"So, it can be sold? What kind of price does it fetch?"
Ah Man was getting even more confused, her bean-shaped brows drooping as she scratched her face and said oddly, "If you have some, of course it can be sold. The price isn't exactly cheap either—about the same as sake. One go would go for three or four wen of good money!"
"So that's about three or four kan per koku?"
"Mm, you can't really calculate it like that though. There's a big difference between retailing and selling by the koku. If you sell by the koku, it's only about two kan of wen per koku. Gotta leave some profit for the shopkeepers too!"
