Having agreed, the two did not say much more. Zhang Shan brought Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia to a small gate and asked them to wait there for a bit.
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Shan came out carrying a large bundle of cloth.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chuan quickly helped him, assisting Zhang Shan in placing the cloth on the ground.
“I searched around, and for now, this is the only bundle of cloth 1 found. The cloth is not damaged, it’s just that the color is not well dyed. The factory manager initially planned to sell it at another stall, but someone accidentally spilled water into the warehouse, so it didn’t go on sale.”
“That’s fine, we just need something wearable, we don’t need it to be good.”
This bundle of cloth didn’t seem much, but when Jiang Chuan reached out to take it, it nearly crushed his shoulder. It must be pure cotton, and quite thick.
Moreover, if you don’t look carefully, you can’t tell that the color of this cloth is bad. Even the area that Zhang Shan mentioned was contaminated by water is hard to notice unless he points it out.
For this, Jiang Chuan needs to thank him. After all, Zhang Shan didn’t deceive them.
Jiang Xia also showed off her sweet talking skills, saying thank you over and over again, which made Zhang Shan very happy, and he praised Jiang Xia for being a sensible child.
“Why don’t you wait a bit more.” Saying this, Zhang Shan didn’t wait for the father and daughter to respond. Fie ran back into the warehouse and came out again two minutes later.
“These few yards of blue cloth were originally meant for my mother. The color is a bit old, but it’s certainly wearable. Since this young girl is so sweet, I’ll give it to her. Don’t be picky.”
Jiang Xia took the cloth and said thank you.
“You’re being too polite, it’s already a hassle for you to exchange these things for us.” Jiang Chuan, in his farmer’s simplicity, felt somewhat embarrassed towards Zhang Shan.
“Why be polite with me? What you’ve given in exchange is more than enough for these, it’s just that I only have this much cloth on hand right now. Just don’t be picky.”
Zhang Shan was the one who started feeling embarrassed.
Nowadays, flawed cloth is scarce, not just in their warehouse, but in other warehouses as well.
“We won’t be picky. We want to do business again in the future.” Since it’s come to this, Jiang Chuan also sold a favor.
“Okay, next time you come, 1’11 ensure I give you more, not less.” Zhang Shan patted his chest in assurance.
With this promise, Jiang Chuan felt reassured.
Although they brought a lot this time, which might sell for forty or fifty yuan, but it’s currently a time of exchanging tickets for goods, and even if you have tickets, you might not be able to get cloth.
Furthermore, this time when they exchanged goods, they were completely in the dark, with the power of decision in the hands of others. They could only accept the other party’s price. But seeing how straightforward Zhang Shan was, it seemed that he had the power of decision in the cotton factory, at least he could decide on these cloths.
With Zhang Shan indicating that he would like them to come again, they would undoubtedly have many more interactions in the future. So, suffering a bit of loss the first time is not a big deal.
After talking with Zhang Shan for a while, Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia carried the cloth and walked out.
Once they reached a deserted area, Jiang Xia immediately put the cloth into her interspace.
“Dad, this bundle of cloth looks small, why is it so heavy to carry?” Jiang Xia couldn’t help but complain.
“This bundle is at least twenty yards, and your smaller one must be six or seven yards. How could it not be heavy?”
“We have that much? Then you and mom can each make a piece of clothing!”
“Yeah, your mom finally doesn’t have to wear those worn-out clothes. Just think about how much your mom loves to look good, 1 can’t believe she came to this place with me and suffered.”
Hearing her father start to express his love again, Jiang Xia quickly interrupted, “Alright, Dad, let’s go to the shopping mall again. The thread we exchanged for home seems to be all used up. Let’s buy some more for mom.” “Alright, the shopping mall isn’t far away, let’s hurry up.”
Saying this, the father and daughter headed towards the shopping mall.
They strolled leisurely, not in a hurry, but after carrying that large bundle of cloth for a while, it really tired out Jiang Chuan.
Before they reached the shopping mall, Jiang Chuan stopped Jiang Xia, “Xiao Xia, how about we have lunch first?”
