international farmers market

I was buying apples from the young Russian woman with the short hair, and a Chinese woman, maybe around my age, was tasting the apple juice. I was thirsty so I picked up a dixie cup and tasted it, too. It was so delicious that I decided to buy half a gallon -- the Russian told me it was $7 for one and $12 for two. As I was getting my money out the Chinese woman tried to convince the Russian to sell each of us a half gallon for $6. I laughed and told her we should have colluded at a slight distance. The Chinese woman said she was just trying to make things more affordable, that this was the way things were done where she came from. The Russian said she had left a communist country and now she was a capitalist. The Chinese woman argued that it would be more profitable to sell two half gallons than just one. I said, I'm a rule follower, and now I'm going.
