Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Uncle Mazi's ox cart was hired by his family, so if Lin wanted to go to the city, she could only wait for the ox cart to be free, so she simply worked with him in the threshing ground.

A group of people worked very quickly.

After tying up the bowls and basins that I had repaired yesterday, I saw Shilang and his companions walking back from afar on the ox cart.

"Third aunt!"

Shiro clutched his chest, his eyes gleaming.

But the ox cart was still piled with bowls and pots, so he slowed down his pace, held on to the cart board and made faces at Lin as he walked.

Only then did Lin see that there was another ox cart following Uncle Mazi's ox cart.

The bowls and pots were also piled high.

This is the brick kiln’s own ox cart.

The ox cart stopped and a middle-aged man in a cloth shirt jumped out of the cart.

"Aunt San, this is Manager Cao from the brick kiln."

The manager surnamed Cao had a very happy face, but when he stretched out his hand halfway he realized that it was inappropriate and quickly retracted it.

"Your repair skills are truly amazing. They are even better than those fired in our kiln. It's incredible."

Manager Cao secretly looked at the Lin family and felt that this family was really strange.

The one who negotiated the business was a young boy, but the one who was really in charge was a woman.

But this does not affect his enthusiasm for cooperation at all!

God knows how long these defective products have been giving him a headache.

Originally, the brick kiln only fired bricks and tiles and sold them to nearby towns and villages, but the harvests in the past two years have been bad, and people cannot afford to build houses, so the bricks cannot be sold. As a result, they had no choice but to switch to firing bowls and basins.

Even if you don’t build a house, you still have to eat.

The idea was right, and the bowls and pots could be sold, but the scrap rate of nearly 40% was too high, and I could barely make a little money.

He almost wanted to close the shop.

"As long as Manager Cao is satisfied, our family is just trying to earn some money from our craft. It's a win-win for everyone to cooperate."

Youxi and a few others stood by and watched. Lin asked Silang to lead them to unload the car, while she led Manager Cao to a straw hut nearby.

The sun broke through the clouds and shone on everyone's faces, making the sweat on their faces sparkle.

Lin had a smile on his lips.

Silang's arms were bulging, probably because he had a lot of copper coins. He would touch them and shake them from time to time, and even his tightly pursed lips couldn't suppress a smile.

"I've already paid Brother Cui for the truckload we just delivered. Don't worry, our brick kiln won't hold back on your payment. We'll pay you right after you deliver it."

"I only have one request, we want long-term cooperation"

Manager Cao showed his full sincerity.

He was really afraid that Lin would quit halfway, and he would be dumbfounded.

Moreover, when he observed the workshop, he found it was obviously a temporary borrowed threshing ground in the village, and the people working there were all women and boys from the village. It didn't look like it would be permanent at all.

Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Manager Cao. Although I'm a woman, I understand that a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since we're collaborating, I won't change my mind easily."

"That's good, that's good." Manager Cao felt relieved. "I heard from Brother Cui that this ox cart is rented. Since we have a cooperative relationship, our brick kiln also has an ox cart. Starting tomorrow, I will have the ox cart run every morning to take the repaired bowls back."

The brick kiln's ox cart is larger than an ordinary ox cart and can carry more goods in one trip, so Lin agreed immediately.

You can also save on travel expenses.

As they were talking, the two ox carts had been unloaded and the packed bowls and basins were quickly loaded onto the carts.

Uncle Mazi’s ox cart was not used this time, as all the carts from the brick kiln were unloaded.

Manager Cao looked at the tightly bound bowls and basins with satisfaction.

The stacks of bowls and basins looked like strings of copper coins.

He wants to negotiate a few more business deals so that he won't have to worry about not making money in the future.
