God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine
Chapter 52 Material Preparation
Afterwards, Su and Jun Moyuan came to the place where tiles were burned.
Su said to the shopkeeper sincerely, "Shopkeeper, we have come here today to ask you some questions."
The shopkeeper waved his hand and said with a smile: "Madam, you are so polite. If you need anything, just tell me. I will do my best to help you."
Su nodded, and then expressed his troubles: "I plan to build a workshop, but I'm not sure how many tiles I need. I hope the store owner can give me some advice."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper thought for a moment and then asked, "Okay, okay, Madam, can you first tell me the scale of the workshop you plan to build? This is related to the number of tiles required."
Su replied while gesturing: "This workshop covers an area of about two acres, but I hope it can be sturdy and durable. I wonder if the master has any good suggestions for this?"
The shopkeeper carefully observed Su's gestures and had a rough idea in mind. He thought for a moment and then replied, "Madam, if you want to build a workshop of this scale and make it durable, you will probably need at least 10,000 tiles. Of course, the specific number may vary slightly depending on the actual situation."
Su opened her mouth in surprise: "It actually requires so much! How much silver will these tiles cost in total? After all, silver is limited, and we have to plan ahead." There was a trace of worry on her face, as if she was worried that the cost would be too high.
Shopkeeper: "If you choose ordinary green tiles, the price of each tile is about eight coins, and the total cost is about eighty taels of silver."
Su: "Eight cents a piece? Master, is there room for negotiation on this price? Can it be cheaper?"
Shopkeeper: "Madam, this price is very affordable. Firing tiles is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job. Both the raw materials and the labor costs cost a lot of money."
Su smiled and said sincerely, "Master, building a workshop is a big project and will cost a lot of money. Can you please give me a discount?"
The shopkeeper sighed slightly, his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness, but he still had a kind smile on his face and replied: "Well, since you are so sincere, Madam, I will make another concession. How about this, seven cents for this tile, which is already the limit, and it cannot be reduced any further."
Su was secretly delighted, but remained calm on the surface and continued to bargain with the shopkeeper: "Seven cents a piece, that's a total of seventy taels of silver. What do you think?" She stared at the shopkeeper's expression, trying to capture any information that would be helpful to her.
The shopkeeper frowned, shook his head, and responded in a firm tone: "Ma'am, I'm really sorry, I can't even recover my costs at the price of seventy taels. Seventy-five taels is the minimum. If it is lower than this number, I'm afraid I will run the business at a loss." He seemed a little embarrassed and persistent.
Su thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then seventy-five taels. But having said that, you have to guarantee me the quality of the tiles." Her eyes revealed her concern and worry about quality.
The shopkeeper immediately patted his chest and assured: "Madam, please rest assured. I have been engaged in the tile-making industry for many years and have always attached great importance to the quality and reputation of my products. I can assure you that there will be absolutely no defective products. If you have any problems, you can always come to me for help."
Su then asked, "So how long will it take to prepare these tiles and deliver them to me?" She hoped to arrange the time reasonably to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
The shop owner thought for a moment and then replied: "It will probably take about a month. I will make it for you as soon as possible and deliver it to you personally." His tone revealed a certain confidence and assurance.
Su thought about it and proposed a plan: "Store owner, can you finish everything for me in one month? I will pay you half of the money as a deposit first, and then pay the other half when the tiles are delivered. Do you think this is feasible?" She hoped to protect her rights in this way.
After hesitating for a moment, the shop owner finally agreed: "Well... okay, ma'am, it's settled. Thank you for your trust and support!" The two parties reached a consensus, and the transaction seemed to be going quite smoothly.
Su: "Please send it to Lujia Village, Lu Jinghe's home."
Shopkeeper: "Ma'am, please rest assured that we will deliver it on time."
Su: "Thank you for your help, we have to go somewhere else without delay."
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Ma'am, please take care. We are always waiting for your visit."
"Yuan'er, let's go home. I guess Yan'er has been looking forward to this good news for a long time." Su said to Jun Moyuan with a smile.
Su and Jun Moyuan bid farewell to the tile shop owner and set off on their journey home. Along the way, Su was overjoyed. She not only looked forward to the completion of the workshop, but also looked forward to the hot sales of sweet potato vermicelli.
After returning to Lujia Village, Su saw Lu Tingyan sitting restlessly in the courtyard as soon as she entered the gate. She walked forward in two steps, eager to share the good news of her successful cooperation with Lin Wan'er with Lu Tingyan.
Lu Tingyan was overjoyed when she heard this, with tears of excitement flashing in her eyes. She couldn't help but hug Su tightly and thanked him profusely.
"Yan'er, don't worry. Our sweet potato vermicelli will definitely be a best-seller!" Su patted Lu Tingyan's back and comforted her softly. Lu Tingyan nodded and burst into laughter. She was determined to work harder to make delicious sweet potato vermicelli and live up to everyone's expectations.
In the following days, Su and Lu Tingyan devoted themselves to the construction of the workshop. They invited craftsmen and purchased the necessary materials, which was busy and fulfilling.
