Chapter 113: Negotiated

Feng Kiln.

This private kiln is located in the most remote corner of the village, next to the mountains.

As soon as the mother and daughter walked in, someone came to greet them.

"You two are strangers, and you are not from this village. Do you want to buy anything?"

Li Taohua looked around and saw a group of tall men with bare chests, their eyes rolling around.

Qin Huiyin: “…”

She finally realized that the reason her mother remarried several times was not only because she wanted to find a man to rely on so that she could live a better life, but also because she was attracted to men.

"I'm here to see Zheng Hua."

"Zheng Hua, someone's looking for you." The man heard that she was looking for someone, and shouted inside, "It's a beautiful wife. Where did you get into trouble with love affairs that you've come to my house?"

Qin Huiyin frowned.

Could this person be a bad person? Judging from his character, he seems unreliable?

A tall shirtless man came out and saw Li Taohua. He shouted at the man, "Don't talk nonsense, you bastard. This is my sister-in-law."

After saying that, he touched his head and said with a simple and honest look: "Sister-in-law, there are some rough people here, always saying dirty words, don't take it to heart. What's the matter with you coming here today?"

"Zheng Hua, it's like this. We want to buy a batch of pottery jars, just to hold things. They don't need to be too big. Can you give me a discount?" Li Taohua said.

Zheng Hua smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to pick one. This is your daughter, right? Every time I went to look for my brother, she was out playing and I didn't see her."

"Hello, Uncle Zheng."

"You are quite polite, little girl. Come on, there are a lot of unwanted things in there, take your pick."

"No one wants to be..."

"Don't get me wrong. It's not because we didn't do a good job. We originally agreed with the customer, but the customer changed his mind and didn't want it. We also want to find someone else to sell it, but there's not much demand in a small place like this. Even if someone wants the utensils, they have a lot of requirements, which are different from the original customer's preferences. So, it's just sitting here with no one to take care of it, and it's just gathering dust."

Zheng Hua pushed open the door of the storeroom and saw a room full of various pottery jars. Those things were piled together without being properly kept, like a pile of garbage that was about to be thrown away at any time.

"You can pick whatever you like. It's free. Just take whatever you like." Zheng Hua said.

"Uncle Zheng, is this your kiln?"

"That's not the case." Zheng Hua said embarrassedly, "I'm just a manager."

"I see there are quite a few pottery jars here that I want. How about you sell them to us at two cents each? If you help us send them back, the transportation and driving fee will be an additional twenty cents."

Zheng Hua looked at Li Taohua: "Sister-in-law, do you need a lot of these pottery jars?"

Originally, he thought that Li Taohua would need a few at most to take home to pack up salt and sugar, but when he heard Qin Huiyin say that they also needed to rent an ox cart, he knew that the number needed would not be too small.

"My daughter is the one who makes the decisions in our family. If she says it's needed, then it's needed. You're right to listen to her." Li Taohua looked proud.

Zheng Hua looked at Qin Huiyin curiously: "Little girl, how much do you need?"

"Let's buy two hundred first!" Qin Huiyin said, "If you need more later, ask Uncle Zheng to buy some more."

Zheng Hua looked at the pile of "waste" in front of him, thought about it, and agreed with Qin Huiyin's solution.

Instead of throwing it here, it would be better to exchange some money for bonuses for the brothers. Anyway, the boss asked them to clean up this pile of "waste" when he came last time, but they received an order and were busy with the things on the order, so they had no time to deal with these unimportant things.

Fortunately, I didn’t have time, otherwise I wouldn’t have made a small profit today.

Zheng Hua went out and found a few people, and asked them to pick two hundred pottery jars of similar sizes according to Qin Huiyin's requirements.

In fact, it is quite easy to find. The missed customer also asked for a small pottery jar with a small capacity, and each pottery jar is almost exactly the same.

But they were piled together and not well preserved, so some of them were damaged. They had to pick out the intact and good quality ones from the pile of uneven pottery jars.

"Little girl, move to the side. There are fragments in here. Be careful not to cut yourself." A middle-aged man said with a simple smile.

Half an hour later, two hundred pottery jars were loaded onto the truck.

Qin Huiyin handed the prepared four hundred coins to Zheng Hua, and when no one else was paying attention, she stuffed another fifty coins into his hand.

Zheng Hua smiled from ear to ear: "Thank you, boss. If you need it next time, just go to Uncle Zheng and he will pick the best for you."

As he spoke, he picked up a porcelain vase from the side and said, "This is made by Uncle Zheng himself. Take it back and play with it."

Such an exquisite porcelain vase costs more than fifty cents. This man is really generous.

Qin Huiyin and Li Taohua left the village in a bullock cart. The driver was the man who had made the joke at the beginning. He was embarrassed after getting on the cart, and only apologized shyly when he got off.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry for what happened just now. We are both rough people and we are used to saying dirty things when we are together. I will pay attention to it in the future and never say anything nonsense again."

"What do you think of me? You've been fussing over this little thing all this time? Don't worry, I'm not that petty. By the way, come in and have a cup of tea before you leave!"

"No need. I'll unload the goods and go back right away." The man worked efficiently and moved two hundred pottery jars into the lobby.

The lobby was not big to begin with and could not hold two hundred pottery jars, so some of them were placed in several other rooms.

The yard is big and the pottery jars are not afraid of wind and rain, but there are a few puppies running around there and they can easily bump into them, so I dare not put these fragile items there.

Qin Huiyin first poured a cup of tea for the man.

"Thanks, little boss." Zheng Hua called her little boss, and the man followed suit.

Qin Huiyin handed over the twenty copper coins for the transportation fee and the driving fee, and said, "Uncle, thank you for your hard work. I may have to trouble you again next time."

"Just give your orders. The more trouble we can handle, the better. I'll be leaving first. Come back to us when you need me." The man drove away in the ox cart.

As the man drove away in the ox cart, Master Tang San came back driving the ox cart.

Qin Huiyin was about to help unload the goods, but was waved away by Tang Dafu.

"What strength do you have as a little girl? You can't move these things. Don't block us."

Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao came out to help, but were also driven away by Tang Dafu.

They bought a large amount of soybeans, each bag weighed dozens of kilograms. What could a few children do to them?

Tang Yixiao and Tang Luwu felt their father's strength for the first time. Even though his legs were lame now, he was still much taller and more majestic than before.

"Dad, you are so strong!" Tang Luwu praised, "Dad is so amazing, so powerful."

Tang Dafu straightened his back and moved more vigorously.

Li Taohua leaned against the door, watching with a smile as Tang Dafu became more and more like a man under the flattery of her own daughter, well, a real father.
