Just got a compliment from our cleaning lady about the new mattress we bought.
“How much did you pay?”
“400 Kuai”
“Ohh, not expensive” “Nice color”

That “compliment” sounds like the real thing to me. The opposite response, which I hear from my Shanghainese wife is: “Oh, you paid too much!” – the implication being that she is a much smarter shopper than I am.
