She stood up on the car platform, crossed her arms, and shouted loudly.
"It seems Boss Cao looks down on my small business of selling a hundred or so earthenware pots. My aunt even said he was a really good craftsman, but seeing him today, pshaw~"
"That's all there is to it. I really suspect he's not very skilled, which is why he dares to act so arrogantly, afraid of disgracing his ancestors."
Hearing her loud and boisterous voice, Zhang and Wu's hearts pounded in their chests. If Old Cao heard this, he would surely scold them at home. Wu and Zhang didn't care, as they were both married women. They were worried about Tian Sangui, because how could a young girl withstand that lecherous woman chasing after her and scolding her?
Zhang and Wu stepped forward in unison, grabbing Tian Sangui's clothes and trying to cover her mouth.
Tian Sangui anticipated their move, nimbly dodging their hands while continuing his verbal barrage.
The next moment, what Zhang and Wu had feared still happened.
The tightly closed iron gate was suddenly flung open from the inside with a whoosh.
Before me stood the naked, furious Boss Cao, who was already panting when he wasn't angry, but now his breathing was even louder.
He strode up to Tian Sangui with a swagger, pointing angrily at her: "Your grandpa here has some serious skills, what do you little girl know!"
"Heh, I didn't realize that!"
"you......"
Boss Cao wanted to take another step closer, but he was blocked by Zhang, Wu, Tian Da and Tian Er, preventing him from getting close to Tian San Gui.
Enraged, he could only point at Tian Sangui and roar, "Fine, I'll show you what's what today, you damn fool who doesn't know his place."
Tian Sangui's lips curled into a smirk. He'd already entered the door, and it was entirely of his own volition.
Zhang and the others were wondering why he had suddenly changed his mind.
The group looked at each other, all bewildered.
Enraged, Boss Cao kicked open his front door, turned around and glared at Tian Sangui, shouting irritably, "Get in here, you little brat, and show your eyes!"
He's furious. You can doubt that he crawled out of his father's womb, but you can't doubt his proud clay pot making skills.
"Mother, Aunt, let's go inside!"
The group followed Tian Sangui blankly into Boss Cao's house.
Wow, the courtyard was filled with a dazzling array of earthenware jars of all sizes, all neatly arranged.
This earned him Tian Sangui's approval. A man with a slovenly appearance could arrange his tools neatly, which suggested he was a good bricklayer who loved his work.
"Look at the jars and vats here. They are all carefully crafted by me. Each one is a masterpiece. I haven't produced a single flawed product in decades."
And it's more durable than those sold in the market.
Mr. Cao proudly introduced his work.
"Indeed, it is a fine piece. I was young and ignorant just now, and I offended Mr. Cao with my reckless words. I apologize to you!"
After saying that, she was about to kneel down on one knee to apologize to him.
Boss Cao didn't expect Tian Sangui to change so quickly. His instinctive reaction was to reach out his hands and stop her before she knelt down.
Although I was quite angry just now, I wouldn't really hold a grudge against a little girl like her.
"Hey~ I don't kneel here, but I, Old Cao, quite like your personality. You know how to admit your mistakes and correct them, and you're also very good at talking, hahaha!"
He helped Tian Sangui up, and all the anger he had just felt vanished instantly, replaced by a smile.
"Mr. Cao is a man of great character. I have been quite impetuous. I hope Mr. Cao will forgive me."
"Haha, easy! You wanted to buy jars, right? Let's see what kind you need, or maybe have some custom-made?"
Once the conversation starts, things become much easier to handle.
"I need a jar as wide as a vat and as tall as me. I wonder if Mr. Cao has any here?"
"No, but we can make to order. How many do you need?"
Mr. Cao stroked his stubble and thought for a moment. He had never heard of the size and style she mentioned before, and there was no one available.
"I need one hundred, divided into three shipments. However, the first batch is urgent; I need to receive it within three days. Is that alright?"
Judging from the restaurant's business, the two jars of kimchi she sent over won't last until tomorrow. There are four jars at home, but that's only enough for two days. To keep the supply going, she'll need to go to the grocery store tomorrow for an emergency.
"It's too rushed. Three days won't do. At least four days or more, five days is the fastest we can get the goods."
"so?"
Seeing Tian Sangui's troubled expression, Boss Cao suddenly remembered that he had a batch of surplus goods in his backyard. Although it wasn't as large as she had described, it should be enough for an emergency.
"You wait."
After Tian Sangui finished speaking, he swung his arms and walked towards the back of the house.
"Third Sister, you're really amazing. You changed his attitude with just a few words." Tian Er looked at Tian Sangui with admiration.
"Oh dear, I was so worried for you just now. I was prepared to argue with him, hahaha!"
It was a false alarm after all.
"I could tell from the start that he was a loudmouth, but he's actually a straightforward person, which is why I resorted to this tactic to deliberately provoke him."
Zhang patted her chest and warned Tian Sangui, "You can't be so reckless next time. How old are you? You can't always judge people accurately. If you run into a tough opponent, you'll be the one who suffers."
"Yes, yes, Mother, don't worry, I will definitely do things properly next time and will never do it again!"
Tian Sangui playfully stuck out his tongue at Zhang Shi, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief amidst the laughter.
A short while later, Boss Cao came to them carrying a clay pot the size of a vat.
"Take a look at this. It's not as tall as you described, but it's not small either. You can use it in an emergency. What do you think?"
"Hmm, the opening is a bit wide, I wonder if it has a lid?"
The cylinder head and lid are supposed to be a set, and they would never be sold separately.
"Yes, the wooden lid is in the main room. I can get it for you if you want."
"Okay, the price..."
Before Tian Sangui could finish speaking, Boss Cao wiped away his sweat, waved his hand at her, and said, "Take it and use it first. You can pay me back after I make the goods you requested. Why do you need money?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that the usually stingy Boss Cao could be so generous.
Tian Sangui knew perfectly well that this guy was all talk and no action; in principle, he simply didn't want to take on small-money jobs.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Cao!"
With her sweet tongue, she showered Boss Cao with compliments, and under Tian Sangui's constant flattery, she gradually began to smile broadly and enjoy the attention.
"How much do you need? Uncle will help you load it into the car."
"Ten for now. If that's not enough, I'll ask Uncle Cao for more."
"Alright, you guys rest, I'll go load the goods."
Good heavens, Tian Sangui's ability to flatter people has truly broadened the horizons of his family and aunt. The second son is even more impressed with his sister.
