Shen Qingyu glanced at Guan Tao curiously, her gossip-loving spirit burning brightly.

"Why would such a large business like theirs try to squeeze you out?"

To put it bluntly, the product categories of this small ceramics workshop determine that the target customers of the two shops are completely different.

Why are they making trouble for you?

Qi Yunxiao replied, "For your family's territory?"

Guan Tao glanced at Qi Yunxiao with surprise: "This gentleman is right. It's all for my family's territory."

"oh?"

Once Guan Tao got going, he simply started talking non-stop.

It turns out he was also capable of firing exquisite porcelain, but he and his wife needed to work together.

He was in charge of the heavy lifting and firing, while his wife was in charge of the finer tasks such as painting and glazing.

Who knew that the neighboring Meicifang shop had taken a liking to his shop and came to buy it several times, but Guan Tao refused each time, saying, "This is ancestral property, I won't sell it."

Less than half a month later, Lady Guan had an accident. She fell in the backyard and was knocked unconscious by a jar hitting her head.

When I woke up again, I had developed a headache and couldn't even hold a pen.

After explaining all this, Guan Tao felt a little embarrassed.

“I could have finished this job in ten days, but I also need to take time to take care of my wife… so to be on the safe side, I said I could finish it in fifteen days.”

What more can you say to a man who dotes on his wife?

Shen Qingyu immediately nodded: "It's okay, there's no rush. Just tell the boatman who's coming to haul the vat tomorrow when you've finished making it for me."

"Okay!" Guan Tao immediately agreed with a big smile.

As Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao came out of the shop, they ran into Hu Jinxiu, who was coming out from next door.

Hu Jinxiu seemed to be waiting outside the door, chatting and laughing with the shopkeeper.

Seeing Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu come out, she immediately walked over with a big smile.

"Brother Xiao, Madam Xiao, it's better to meet by chance than to arrange a formality. How about we have a meal together? Would you do me the honor?"
