Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Burst You (7)_1

Sun Tiezhu grinned broadly, praising Pei Qin’s abilities incessantly and mentioned that he wanted Lady Fang and the others to have lunch at home, "...I’ll go out and cut the meat first!"

Pei Qin called him back, "For lunch, my mother and the others are setting up a stall, so we should first go to the county town to see the situation and how much we can negotiate."

"Look how anxious you are!" Lady Zou said with a laugh, giving him a playful glare.

Sun Tiezhu scratched his head and smiled happily with his mouth wide open.

When Zou Xing drove over with the donkey cart, and all the wooden and iron hand carts were covered with cloth and loaded onto the cart, Sun Tiezhu and Zou Xing followed Pei Qin to the county town.

Landlord Chang had already instructed the shopkeeper to wait at his home and left a message with the gatekeeper to let Pei Qin in directly upon arrival.

Sun Tiezhu felt he was not good with words and since his father died not long ago, the responsibility for the family’s mill had fallen to him. He let Zou Xing and Pei Qin go in while he watched the donkey cart outside.

Pei Qin and Zou Xing pushed a handcart to see Landlord Chang.

Landlord Chang and the shopkeeper examined it carefully and even loaded it with grain to push and haul. They found the craftsmanship a bit rough but were otherwise quite satisfied.

Hearing that the craftsmanship was not up to par, Zou Xing became anxious, "Landlord Zhang! The more we make, the more refined our work will become!"

Landlord Chang nodded and asked about the price.

Pei Qin had discussed the pricing with Sun Tiezhu and Zou Xing beforehand and already had a range in mind. The iron ones cost a bit more, and the wooden ones were priced differently based on the wood used, but none would exceed eight hundred wen money.

The shopkeeper haggled back and forth with Pei Qin until they finally agreed on a price that satisfied both parties. They decided on two hundred wooden hand carts and fifty iron ones, one hundred wooden pushcarts, and thirty iron ones. They gave twenty taels of silver money as a deposit and asked them to deliver the existing inventory from their home first.

Sun Tiezhu, seeing the smiles on their faces as they came out, knew the negotiation was successful and couldn’t help but be overjoyed.

Upon coming out, Zou Xing quietly told him about the silver money, "Let’s go have a meal first! We can talk more when we get home!"

"Yeah! Let’s eat first!" Sun Tiezhu said excitedly, insisting that Pei Qin absolutely must not decline.

Pei Qin went with the two men to a restaurant, still laughing.

"What do you feel like eating? I’m treating today! Let’s order a couple more dishes!" Zou Xing asked Pei Qin in a gentle voice.

Pei Qin didn’t hold back, called over the server, and ordered three special signature stir-fries. Hearing that their dumplings were delicious, each of them ordered a bowl of dumplings as well.

Zou Xing wanted to order more, but Pei Qin stopped him, "We can’t finish it all!"

Sun Tiezhu thought about discussing with his mother and wife once he got home; they had to give something in return. If it weren’t for Xiao Pei, they could never have made so much money!

Despite saying they wouldn’t be able to finish the food, by the time the three had their fill, both the dumplings and the dishes were all eaten up.

Last time Sun Tiezhu had a meal with her, he was too excited about concluding a big deal to notice, but this time, he was a bit startled by his discovery. Xiao Pei was just a young girl, but she could really eat a lot!

"Are you full? Do you want to buy something else?" Zou Xing asked with a hint of melancholy. She probably hadn’t had the chance to enjoy many good meals, nor to eat her fill, growing up.

"I’m full! Let’s go!" Pei Qin had a naturally hearty appetite; whether it was fighting in the past or working now, how could she have the energy if she didn’t eat enough.

Zou Xing glanced around, then hurried into a pastry shop, buying four boxes of pastries in one breath. Coming out, he gave them all to Pei Qin, "Take these home for you and your brother and sister to eat!" he said, then hurried to the cart.

Pei Qin joked, "Even if you are bribing me with gifts now, I won’t take less from your share when it’s time!"

Sun Tiezhu hastily replied, "We were actually thinking of giving you an extra ten percent!"

Pei Qin looked at him and laughed heartily.

Zou Xing also laughed along, driving the donkey cart back to Taiping Town with a light heart.
