Chapter 113 Negotiation
Feng Kiln.
This private kiln is located in the most remote corner of the village, next to the mountains.
As soon as the mother and daughter walked in, someone came to greet them.
"You two don't look like strangers, and you're not from this village. Do you want to buy anything?"
Li Taohua looked around and saw a group of tall men with bare chests, their eyes rolling around.
Qin Huiyin: "..."
She finally realized that the reason her mother remarried several times was not only because she wanted to find a man to rely on so that she could live a better life, but also because she was attracted to men.
"I'm here to see Zheng Hua."
"Zheng Hua, someone's looking for you." The man heard that she was looking for someone and shouted inside, "It's a beautiful wife. Where did you get into trouble with your love affairs that you've come to my house?"
Qin Huiyin frowned.
Could this person be a bad person? Judging from his character, he seems unreliable.
A tall, shirtless man came out and saw Li Taohua. He yelled at the man, "Don't talk nonsense, you bastard. This is my sister-in-law."
After saying that, he touched his head and said with a simple and honest look: "Sister-in-law, there are some rough people here who always say dirty words, don't take it to heart. What's the matter with you coming here today?"
"Zheng Hua, it's like this. We want to buy a batch of pottery jars, just to store things. They don't need to be too big. Can you give me a discount?" Li Taohua said.
Zheng Hua smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to pick one. This is your daughter, right? Every time I went to look for my brother, she was out playing, so I didn't see her."
"Hello, Uncle Zheng."
"The little girl is quite polite. Come on, there are a lot of unwanted items in there, take your pick."
"No one wants..."
"Don't get me wrong, it's not because we didn't do a good job. It's because we originally agreed with the customer, but they changed their minds at the last minute. We'd like to find someone else to sell it to, but there's not much demand in this small place. Even if someone does want the utensils, they'll have a lot of requirements, and they're different from the original customer's preferences. So, it's just sitting here, gathering dust, with no one to care for it."
Zheng Hua pushed open the door to the warehouse and saw a room filled with all kinds of pottery jars. They were piled together, not properly cared for, like a pile of garbage ready to be thrown away at any moment.
"You can pick whatever you want. It's free. Just take whatever you like." Zheng Hua said.
"Uncle Zheng, is this your kiln?"
"That's not the case." Zheng Hua said embarrassedly, "I'm just a manager."
"I see a lot of pottery jars here that I want. How about you sell them to us at two cents each? If you can send them back for us, I'll add another twenty cents for transportation and driving."
Zheng Hua looked at Li Taohua: "Sister-in-law, do you need a lot of these pottery jars?"
Originally, he thought that Li Taohua would need a few at most to take home to pack up salt and sugar, but when he heard Qin Huiyin say that they also needed to rent an ox cart, he knew that the number needed would not be too small.
"I am the one who makes the decisions in our family. If she says it is needed, then it is needed. You are right to listen to her." Li Taohua looked proud.
Zheng Hua looked at Qin Huiyin curiously: "Little girl, how much do you need?"
"Let's start with two hundred!" Qin Huiyin said, "If you need more later, ask Uncle Zheng for some more."
Zheng Hua looked at the pile of "waste" in front of him, thought about it, and agreed with Qin Huiyin's solution.
Instead of just leaving it here, it would be better to exchange it for some money and give the brothers some bonuses. Anyway, the boss had asked them to clean up this pile of "junk" when he came last time, but they had accepted an order and were busy with the work on it, so they didn't have time to deal with these unimportant things.
Fortunately, I didn’t have time, otherwise I wouldn’t have made a small profit today.
Zheng Hua went out and found a few people, asking them to pick two hundred pottery jars of similar size according to Qin Huiyin's requirements.
In fact, it is quite easy to find. The missed customer also wanted a small clay pot, not very big in capacity, and each pot is almost exactly the same.
However, they were piled together and not properly stored, so some of them were damaged. They had to pick out the intact and good quality pottery jars from the pile of uneven pottery jars.
"Little girl, move to the side. There are fragments in here. Be careful not to get cut." A middle-aged man said with a simple smile.
Half an hour later, two hundred pottery jars were loaded onto the truck.
Qin Huiyin handed the prepared four hundred coins to Zheng Hua, and when no one else was paying attention, she stuffed another fifty into his hand.
Zheng Hua smiled from ear to ear: "Thank you, young boss. Next time if you need anything, just ask Uncle Zheng. Uncle Zheng will pick the best for you."
As he spoke, he casually picked up a porcelain vase from the side: "This is made by Uncle Zheng himself, take it back and play with it."
Such an exquisite porcelain vase costs more than fifty cents. This man is really generous.
Qin Huiyin and Li Taohua left the village in an oxcart. The driver was the man who had made the joke in the beginning. He was embarrassed after getting on the car and only apologized shyly when getting off.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry for what happened just now. We are both rough people and are used to saying dirty things when we are together. I will pay attention to it in the future and will never say anything nonsense again."
"I don't take it seriously. You've been fussing all this way just for this little thing? Don't worry, I'm not that petty. By the way, come in and have a cup of tea before you leave!"
"No need, I'll unload the goods and go back right away." The man worked efficiently and moved two hundred pottery jars into the lobby.
The lobby was not big to begin with and could not hold two hundred pottery jars, so some of them were placed in several other rooms.
The yard is big and the pottery jars are not afraid of wind and rain, but there are a few puppies running around there and they can easily bump into them, so I dare not put these fragile items there.
Qin Huiyin first poured a cup of tea for the man.
"Thank you, little boss." Zheng Hua called her little boss, and the man followed suit.
Qin Huiyin handed over the twenty copper coins for the transportation fee and the driving fee, and said, "Uncle, thank you for your hard work along the way. I may have to trouble you again next time."
"Just give your orders. The more trouble we have, the better. I'll be leaving first. Come back to us when you need me." The man drove the ox cart away.
As the man drove away in the ox cart, Mr. Tang San came back driving the ox cart.
Qin Huiyin was about to help unload the goods, but was waved away by Tang Dafu.
"What strength do you have as a little girl? You can't move these things. Don't block us."
Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao came out to help, but were also driven away by Tang Dafu.
They bought a large amount of soybeans, each bag weighing dozens of pounds. What could a few children do to them?
Tang Yixiao and Tang Luwu felt their father's strength for the first time. Even though his legs were lame now, he was still much taller and more majestic than before.
"Dad, you are so strong!" Tang Luwu praised, "Dad is so amazing, so powerful."
Tang Dafu straightened his back and moved more vigorously.
Li Taohua leaned against the door, smiling as she watched Tang Dafu become more and more like a man under the flattery of her own daughter, well, a real father.
