Seeing that it was getting evening, Xu Zhixin told Cheng Guozhong that it was almost time to go back. Cheng Guozhong also felt that it was time to go back. They said goodbye to Director Zhou, put the large vats, jars and cans that Xu Zhixin had carried on the car, asked Director Zhou for ropes to tie them up, and then returned to the Lu'an Brigade.
"Uncle Captain, I really want to thank you this afternoon. Thanks to you for helping me bargain, I saved a lot of money." Sitting in the car, Xu Zhixin thanked Cheng Guozhong who was driving with a grateful look on her face.
"What are you thanking me for? It's just a small thing." Cheng Guozhong waved his hand and smiled. "I just helped you cut the price so much, so you saved a lot of money. Buying so many large jars and pots still cost you 500 yuan." He put away his smile and sighed.
"This is just the beginning. I've spent hundreds of dollars just to buy the big jars and pots. There are many more places to spend money later. I still need a lot of tools to make salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Those all cost money, and I'll have to spend a lot of money later! Alas..." He sighed again.
"Uncle Captain, don't worry about the money. I told you that I'm rich. I'm not afraid of spending a lot of money later... No matter how much it costs, I can afford it. As long as I get the factory set up," Xu Zhixin said with a smile.
The more she got to know Cheng Guozhong, the better he became. He would always consider her and try to help her save money.
“No matter how rich you are, you have to spend carefully and save as much as possible. If you need to buy something later, just tell me and I will bargain for it. Save as much as you can. As the saying goes, little by little adds up to a lot. If you save a little here, a little that, you will save a lot of money in the end.” Cheng Guozhong said.
Xu Zhixin knew that what Cheng Guozhong said made sense, so she nodded in agreement, "Captain, you are right. In the future, please help me bargain more and save more money. Thank you!"
Because the cart was carrying a bunch of jars and pots, which are easily breakable, Cheng Guozhong drove very slowly and did not dare to go faster, for fear that the cart would tilt and damage the jars and pots, causing cracks or even breaks.
Fortunately, because Cheng Guozhong drove carefully all the way, when we returned to Cheng's house in Lu'an Brigade, the large vat and several jars and cans on the car were all intact and not damaged at all.
As soon as Cheng Guozhong and his companions arrived at the gate, Liu Cuihua, who was in the yard, heard the noise and hurriedly opened the door. When she saw a cart full of large jars and pots, she knew that the deal was done.
"It seems that we have reached an agreement with Director Zhou of the earthen kiln factory. How much do these jars and jars cost? How many jars and jars did we buy from the earthen kiln factory in total? They can't be just the ones on the car. Could they be a little less? Could they be not enough?" Liu Cuihua looked at the things on the car and asked.
"The amount on the truck is definitely not enough. Zhixin bought a total of 100 large vats, 10 jars, and 10 cans. The ones on the truck are the stock that Zhixin picked. The rest have to wait for Director Zhou to bake them. Director Zhou said that they will all be baked in half a month, so we should pick them up in half a month." Cheng Guozhong replied. "All the large vats, jars, and cans cost a total of 500 yuan."
When Liu Cuihua heard how much money was spent in total, she was shocked and exclaimed, "Oh my God! It cost more than 500 yuan! More than 500 yuan... How could they buy so many large jars and pots!"
More than 500 yuan! With more than 500 yuan, you can build several houses!
It’s crazy that I spent over 500 bucks to buy a bunch of jars, pots and cans... I suddenly feel it’s such a waste!
"I have to buy so much. I want to make more sauce and vinegar. I want to make more money, so I need a lot of jars and cans, especially big jars. Auntie, don't be stingy with the money. I can earn it back when I make and sell the soy sauce and vinegar in the future!" Xu Zhixin said with a smile.
Liu Cuihua nodded, but she still felt bad for spending more than 500 yuan to buy a bunch of things made of clay.
"Let's not keep standing here talking. Let's quickly move these things from the car into the car. If there is anything, wait until everything is moved in and then sit down in the main room and talk slowly." Cheng Guozhong said.
Xu Zhixin and Liu Cuihua responded together, and followed Cheng Guozhong to start moving things from the car...
