Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm.
These days, money makes the world go round, but without money you can't move an inch.
She walked up to Master Wu, putting on what she thought was the most sincere smile, "Master Wu, hello. I'm the third daughter-in-law of the Lu family. I want to discuss something with you."
Kiln Master Wu glanced at her, his eyes looking at a pebble on the roadside, not caring at all. He turned around slowly, his tone filled with impatience, "If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I'm busy."
The little flame in Shen Qiqi's heart suddenly burst out. This old man is really arrogant!
She suppressed her dissatisfaction and continued, "It's like this, my house needs to be renovated, and I want to buy some bricks and tiles from you, you see..."
Kiln Master Wu simply waved his hand, as if shooing away a fly. "Recently, all the bricks and tiles have been supplied to the town to build a school. You guys should get in line first. I can't guarantee when it will be your turn." He paused, then added, "Find a way for yourselves. Don't delay me from making money."
The words "money-hungry" are written all over his face.
Shen Qiqi felt like she was punching cotton, soft and useless.
She looked at the wrinkled face of Wu the Kiln Master and said to herself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. The one who gets angry is the devil."
She decided to change her mindset. Who said it can only be bought with money?
Her eyes rolled and she said with a smile, "Master Wu, look, I have some fabrics that I have woven myself. They are of absolutely top quality. Can I exchange them for some bricks and tiles?" As she spoke, she took out several pieces of brightly colored fabrics from her bag.
Kiln Master Wu didn't even glance at them, but shook his head, his tone becoming even more impatient. "I don't wear these rags, so what's the point of keeping them? My bricks and tiles are hard currency and can be exchanged for money!" He sneered, as if mocking Shen Qiqi's arrogance.
Looking at the stubborn look of Wu the Kiln Master, Shen Qiqi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her whole body shivering with cold.
She realized that the kiln owner Wu in front of her was a tough nut to crack.
The atmosphere in the entire kiln factory suddenly became like the dark clouds before a storm, making it hard to breathe.
Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly heard Grandpa Sun's voice, "Hey, kid, why are you standing here? The old kiln owner is a miser and never gives a penny!" Grandpa Sun walked over slowly with a cane.
"Uncle Sun, why are you here?" Shen Qiqi hurriedly went to greet him and helped Uncle Sun sit on a wooden stool nearby.
Grandpa Sun sighed, "My old bones can't help you much even if I want to. But you are quite capable, kid, don't lose heart."
Shen Qiqi was about to say something else, but she saw Grandpa Sun pointing towards a corner.
She followed Grandpa Sun's gaze and her sight fell on an open space behind the brick kiln...
Grandpa Sun smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "There seems to be something interesting there..."
Shen Qiqi's eyes were like torches as she scanned the area around the kiln factory.
She refused to give up and didn't believe that she could be stumped by a few broken bricks in this day and age!
She wandered around the village, searching every nook and cranny, hoping to find some forgotten "treasure".
It's true that hard work pays off. She found piles of broken bricks and tiles near the abandoned cowshed at the entrance of the village.
Although it is a little damaged, it can still be used if you pick it carefully.
Her eyes lit up and she felt like she had discovered a new world. The small flame in her heart that had been extinguished by Kiln Master Wu began to burn again.
She rolled up her sleeves, not minding the dirt, and started digging. The broken bricks and tiles seemed to become treasures in her hands.
She even found some old wood that was still intact. Although it was very old, it could be used with a little processing.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and felt very happy. She felt like a Taobao expert who had successfully found a bargain. It was a great feeling!
Just when she was working hard, Grandpa Sun walked over slowly, still leaning on his old cane.
He looked at Shen Qiqi with a smile, his eyes brimming with cunning, "Girl, you are quite capable! However, I, an old man, know a better place where you can definitely get a great bargain!"
When Shen Qiqi heard this, she immediately put down the work in her hands and ran to Grandpa Sun, her eyes flashing with excitement, "Grandpa Sun, are you telling the truth? Where is it?" She had a vague feeling in her heart that this old man must have some secrets that he hadn't told her.
Grandpa Sun smiled mysteriously, "Of course I know the place, but you have to agree to one condition!"
Shen Qiqi was stunned for a moment. Conditions?
What conditions?
Her heart skipped a beat. What on earth was this old man up to?
She couldn't help but ask, "What are the conditions?"
Grandpa Sun deliberately kept the secret, "Well, let's talk about this when we get there! Don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss!" He patted his chest, looking very confident.
Shen Qiqi looked at Grandpa Sun, then at the pile of waste that had not yet been cleaned up. She gritted her teeth and made a decision in her heart.
She felt like she was playing a game, and now a hidden mission had been triggered. It would be a shame not to accept it.
"Okay, I promise!"
The people around, including Lu Qing who had just arrived, looked at Shen Qiqi in surprise, and the air was filled with a hint of curiosity and a hint of uneasiness.
Shen Qiqi blinked at Lu Qing, her eyes full of confidence.
Lu Qing looked at her with eyes full of trust
