After a satisfying meal, Jiang Wanwan took her leave.
Zhang Laifu and the shop assistant personally escorted Jiang Wanwan to the front gate. Remembering she still needed to order bricks and tiles for building her house, she casually asked Zhang Laifu, "Uncle Laifu, my family is building a house. Where can I buy bricks and tiles?"
Zhang Laifu stroked his beard and chuckled silently, “Haha, you’ve come to the right person. Niu Er’s family in our town makes the best bricks and tiles. I’m on good terms with him. I’ll have Da Kang accompany you in a bit and have Niu Er sell you the best quality bricks and tiles.”
"That's great, thank you Uncle Laifu."
“Hey~ Niece, why are you being so polite with me? But Niu Er’s house isn’t in town, it’s more than two miles from the town gate. If you still want to buy things in town, why don’t you do your shopping first and then come back to the restaurant, and let Da Kang take you to Niu Er’s house.”
"That would be great. I'll go buy some things first and be right back."
Jiang Wanwan greeted Zhang Laifu and then headed towards Nanshi.
Actually, she didn't need to buy anything else; she just wanted to buy food, especially meat.
Jiang Wanwan went straight to the butcher shop and bought five catties each of pork ribs and pork belly. Seeing that there were good old hens, free-range chickens and ducks for sale by the roadside, she bought three or four of each without hesitation.
You know, although the mall also sells pork and chicken, how can the food sold in modern times compare to that of ancient times?
Ancient foods were purely natural, without any technology or arduous labor involved. If she had no other choice, she would rarely buy meat from the mall.
After paying, Jiang Wanwan couldn't carry all the chickens and ducks she had bought by herself, so she asked the vendor to help her deliver them to Laifu Inn.
The vendor had just made a fortune, so he readily agreed.
Jiang Wanwan strolled along the street for a while, and finally went to a pastry shop to buy some pastries and dried fruits for her family to sweeten their mouths.
After shopping, Jiang Wanwan returned to Laifu Restaurant.
She had just returned to the restaurant when the vendors delivered the chickens and ducks she had bought.
With Zhang Dakang's help, Jiang Wanwan carefully arranged all the things she bought in the car.
Then, they drove Zhang Dakang out of the town.
With Zhang Dakang's directions, the two arrived at Niu Er's house without incident.
Niu Er's house wasn't far from the town, about two miles away. Not far from his house was a very tall and large brick kiln, with neatly stacked, fired blue bricks on the ground.
Besides blue bricks, there are also tiles of various colors.
Zhang Dakang jumped off the cart shaft and ran straight to the small courtyard next to the brick kiln, shouting as he ran, "Uncle Niu, there's work to be done."
Finally, Jiang Wanwan explained the size of the house she was going to build to Niu Er and decided on the bricks and tiles.
Out of respect for Zhang Laifu, Niu Er gave her a discount.
At Jiang Wanwan's request, Niu Er agreed to finish firing the goods she ordered within ten days.
After everything was agreed upon, Jiang Wanwan escorted Zhang Dakang to the town gate.
"Hey, little brother, take this bag of dried fruit and eat it." Jiang Wanwan took out a small bag of dried fruit from her basket and handed it to Zhang Dakang.
Zhang Dakang quickly refused, "How could I accept this? It's just a small favor. Besides, you're practically my boss, so it's only natural for my employee to help my boss."
After much persuasion from Jiang Wanwan, Zhang Dakang finally agreed to accept the bag of dried fruit.
After watching Zhang Dakang enter the town gate, she drove the oxcart back home.
