Chapter 12. Buying Tiles
Translated by Maggie Edited by Simple
The Cart took a little more than an hour to reach the stone quarry.

They pa.s.sed from the edge of the stone quarry village and took a turn at the fork in the road. After walking for a quarter of an hour, they saw a large field in front of the exposed loess.

The middle was wide and flat. One side is the entrance, on the other side was a big pile of well-made brick. The other two sides had seven large and small kiln entrances that were dug alongside the mountain. Next to the kiln entrance were piles of yellow clay, brick mold, wood kiln fire, barrels, tubs, shovels, small carts and other objects. Five to six workers wore patches of brown and were busy.

Seeing them come over, the owner, Old Villager Shi was smiling with both hands covered by the sleeves and greeted them. "This brother, are you here to buy brick or tile, ah?" 1

Li Da Mu then laughed, "my neighbor wanted to repair their roof and specifically came here to buy some tiles."

"Oh, this way please, please! Here we have good mud, the kilns are also great, we create the best quality of tiles, they are durable and the price is also fair!" Old Villager Shi smiled and led them to one side, where the pile of tiles was placed.

Lian Fang Zhou smiled saying, "we have three rooms, one and a half need new tiles. I'm afraid the other one and a half need to be changed some. A total of two rooms will be about it! Probably a total of 50 squares; can you calculate how much we need?"

She shyly smiled as she spoke: "We do not have much, I am also embarra.s.sed to talk about the price! You tell me what's a fair price and that's fine! When we build a new house in the future, we'll come here to patronize you!"

Lian Fang Zhou spoke very clear, fluent words; like a flowing water as clear as day. Making the Old Villager Shi that heard it actual feel startled.

Old Villager Shi couldn't help but narrow his half-lidded eyes while looking at the girl in front of him. Fourteen years old, a slightly thin physique; she wore old and clean coa.r.s.e red floral clothing, had a clear thin face, a pair of pupils that are bright and piercing. Compact little lips wearing a slight smile with hair that was combed into common rural girl style, she looked completely neat. Her whole person revealed a spirit of vigor and the people that met her for the first time couldn't help but have a good feeling inside.

Old Villager Shi couldn't help laughing, he looked at Lian Fan Zhou and said a few "good" words, with his thumbs up and smiled. "This girl is really clever and refreshingly smart, oh, I don't know which family is so blessed. To have such a good daughter! It's settled, with your words, this old man hearing it felt really comfortable. The price I give you will be the lowest, I will also give you the best!"

"Then many thanks boss Shi!" Even Lian Fang Zhou laughed as she nodded.

Lian Ze, for the past two days, has gotten used to how Lian Fang Zhou spoke; so he didn't feel anything, however, Li Da Mu and Old Village Shi was stunned!

Lian Fang Zhou's performance just now overturned his impression of her in his mind.

If not a person, then was she still a human and the same person as before? Her appearance didn't change, she also had Lian Ze by her side, didn't he have suspicions if the girl in front of him was really Lian Fang Zhou?

Li Da Mu secretly sighed, it seems that that the Yang family dissolving the engagement and the Hua family's daughter-in-law creating a scene really affected this girls motivation!

Old Village Shi smiled as he said, " You're welcome." Suddenly he was in a teasing mood, he to turned to face Lian Fang Zhou again and smiled. " Little girl, ah, my tiles are this big, if you can figure out how many pieces are needed, I will give you another two percent discount, how about it?"
