Early the next morning, the ox cart swayed along the road.
It was still early and there were not many people on the road.
Wen Xia Nuan couldn't help yawning while sitting in the car.
Huo Jue sat in front of her, shielding her from the wind. Seeing that Wen Xia Nuan still looked sleepy, he spoke with a hint of guilt: "Wen Zhiqing, if you're still tired, just take a rest."
"Huo Jue, have you remembered all the words I gave you before?"
He nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, of course I remember everything you said to me."
He recited it carefully, looked at Wen Xia Nuan and said, "Wen Zhiqing, please see if I am right."
After Wen Xia Nuan listened to him recite these words in an orderly manner, she nodded thoughtfully, "That's right. You don't need to be nervous when we get to town. Just negotiate with him with your current attitude."
She smiled and Huo Jue responded.
After shaking and swaying, the ox cart finally arrived at the town.
The sun had risen by then, and the two men followed the address given earlier to the entrance of Fenghuangtang Lane. They walked along the alley, entered the door of the first blue brick house, stopped, and knocked on the door.
A woman's hurried voice came, and she glanced at Wen Xia Nuan. The door creaked open, revealing a fair and tender face. "Who are you looking for?"
Wen Xia Nuan smiled kindly at the girl who opened the door. "Hello, is this Comrade Chen Ce's home? We are from the countryside. Comrade Chen Ce said he had some news about bricks, so we came to him for cooperation."
"Oh, you're looking for my eldest brother?"
Chen Tian opened the door and walked in towards the two people: "Wait a moment in the yard, I'll go call my eldest brother out."
Wen Xia Nuan nodded and thanked him. After watching Chen Tian leave, she turned her gaze to Huo Jue: "Don't be nervous, just say what you need to say."
"OK."
He nodded, and the two of them stood in the yard. They only heard shouting. Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue in confusion, but before she could ask anything, Chen Ce's anxious figure appeared in their eyes.
"Comrades, welcome, welcome."
Chen Ce appeared in front of them with a smile on his face.
Huo Jue stepped forward and greeted Chen Ce. Wen Xia Nuan also smiled at Chen Ce: "Comrade Chen, nice to meet you again."
Chen Ce nodded and looked at the two people, especially Huo Jue who was holding a brick in his hand. Chen Ce understood the purpose of their coming here.
"It seems that the brick kiln in your village is running smoothly?"
Chen Ce's eyes fell on Huo Jue's hand: "Comrade Huo, let me see it."
Huo Jue nodded, took out a brick and handed it to Chen Ce. Chen Ce nodded. This brick is quite good and the quality is indeed acceptable.
Just as he was about to speak, a sharp female voice came again, and Wen Xia Nuan was startled.
Chen Ce's expression was also very ugly.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two. Comrade Wen, don't be afraid. That voice is my sister."
His eyes were filled with concern: "This person really gives me a headache, I don't know what to do."
Wen Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is it the sister who was with Huo Chen?"
Chen Ce nodded: "It's her."
"Comrade Chen, it's not okay to lock her up at home like this, right?"
Wen Xia Nuan frowned and her eyes fell on Chen Ce.
Chen Ce also looked at her: "If I don't do this, I really won't be able to solve these problems."
Wen Xia Nuan said that now, it would be inappropriate for her to interfere too much in their affairs.
Huo Jue's eyes fell on Chen Ce's hand. He said in a stunned voice, "What do you think of this brick?"
Chen Ce came back to his senses and took a closer look. He said with admiration, "The quality of these bricks is really good. If they are sold, there will definitely be people willing to buy them."
Huo Jue heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Chen Ce's words. "As long as you think it's fine, Comrade Chen, we in the village wouldn't cut corners on these bricks. We'll just do it the way we want. If you think it's okay, why don't you tell me the price?"
"How about this, I ask you to take one cent for each brick. What do you think?"
When Chen Ce's price came out, Huo Jue was stunned.
Are there so many bricks in their town? They actually only cost ten cents a piece!
There was no need to discuss the expected price in his mind.
"Comrade Huo, did I say the price was too low?"
Chen Ce was feeling uneasy. He looked at Huo Jue and said, "If you think my price is too low, we can still discuss it."
"No, no!"
Huo Jue quickly waved his hand, his eyes falling on Chen Ce, and said, "Comrade Chen, I think your price is good. Let's go with the price you said."
Chen Ce nodded: "Then let's draw up a contract. If there is no problem, let's sign it."
Huo Jue nodded and did not refuse.
Wen Xia Nuan stood aside and didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She watched the two people sign the contract quickly.
Chen Ce shook hands with Huo Jue and said, "You'd better take a closer look at the next production date. We'll pay and receive the goods."
"Don't worry, Comrade Chen. Now that I've made it clear to you, I will naturally do it."
Chen Ce nodded, and Huo Jue finally let go of his worries and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then Comrade Chen, I'll be leaving first."
There was a hint of concern in Huo Jue's eyes, and Chen Ce escorted them out of the yard.
When Wen Xia Nuan left, she glanced at the door a few times and then strode out of the room.
"Huo Jue, now that we've reached an agreement, let's go back."
Wen Xia Nuan felt that Huo Jue's actions this time would make the people in the village look at him with a higher regard.
Huo Jue shook his head: "It's getting late, Wen Zhiqing, shall we have dinner?"
Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue walking forward. If he hadn't said it, she wouldn't have noticed how late it was.
Huo Jue brought Wen Xia Nuan into the state-owned restaurant. Wen Xia Nuan was startled by him: "No, Huo Jue, do you know where this is?"
She paused, and Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan with a puzzled look: "Wen Zhiqing, this is a state-owned restaurant, what's wrong?"
Huo Jue scratched his head and looked at her: "You bought so much food for my family some time ago, and I wanted to treat you to something good."
"Huo Jue, this is very expensive. Shouldn't we stay here?"
Wen Xia Nuan pulled his hand and tried to walk back, but Huo Jue stood there motionless: "Wen Zhiqing, I just wanted to treat you to a nice meal. After all, you've helped me a lot during this period of time."
