Chapter 2023 Buying Tiles
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Liu Biao's words, she did not immediately ask Liu Biao and others to help her repair the roof, because she thought that if there were a few more strong winds like this, she would have to trouble others to help her repair the roof every time.
Although she would not ask anyone to repair her roof for free, she also did not want to trouble others all the time, so she planned to repair the roof with tiles, but she didn't know where to buy the tiles.
"Liu Biao, do you know where we can buy tiles?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Biao and the other three.
"Yes, but they won't sell you the tiles."
"Why?"
"Tiles cannot be bought and sold at will, there are procedures required."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what Liu Biao said, she understood what was going on. However, there are exceptions to everything, so she asked Liu Biao, "Is the place that sells tiles far from the village?"
"It's not far. It only takes about an hour to walk there. If we have a bullock cart, it will take less than an hour."
"Have you had breakfast?"
"have eaten."
"Then take me to the place where tiles are sold."
"Mr. Xiao, you'd better not go. They won't sell the tiles to you, so it's a waste of time going there." Liu Erdan advised Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Don't worry, my trip won't be in vain. I have a way to buy tiles."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Biao and the other three looked at each other, and then they didn't say anything else, because they knew Lu Xiaoxiao's ability, and maybe she could really buy tiles.
After Lu Xiaoxiao followed Liu Biao and the other three for more than an hour, she arrived at the place where tiles were sold. Then she asked the man who was burning tiles, "Comrade, where is the person in charge here?"
"I am the person in charge. What do you want from me?"
"So you are the person in charge. How disrespectful."
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I still have to burn tiles."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the person in charge's straightforward words, she didn't argue with her anymore and directly told her the purpose of her visit.
"Go away. I won't sell you the tiles."
"I know, so I'm not going to buy from you, but to trade with you. I can trade with you for what you need."
"How do you know you have what I need?" the person in charge looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and said.
"Your hand has been burned for at least a week, right?" After hearing the responsible words, Lu Xiaoxiao did not answer his question, but asked him.
"Well, is there a problem?"
"Apply this ointment to the burned area." Lu Xiaoxiao handed a box of ointment to the person in charge.
After the person in charge took the ointment handed to him by Lu Xiaoxiao, he opened the lid. However, he did not apply the ointment to the wound immediately. Instead, he sniffed the ointment with his nose before applying it to the wound.
"How is it?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after the person in charge applied the ointment to the wound.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Zhuomu, and I'm the person in charge of the tile factory."
"Are you agreeing to make an exchange with me?"
"yes."
"Then let's talk about how to exchange. I'm anxious to use the tiles."
"How would you like to exchange it?"
"One box of ointment and fifty tiles."
"impossible."
"You smelled my ointment just now, did you smell the scent of ginseng?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Zhuo Mu.
Zhuo Mu didn't say a word when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, but his silence made the result known.
"Do you still think a box of ointment for fifty tiles is expensive?"
"How much ointment do you have?"
"Ten boxes, not one more. After all, ginseng is not that easy to get."
