Travel back to ancient times to spoil the prince

Chapter 9 Fighting wits and courage
Xiao Huaijin thought about it, and what Yin Qingyuan said was not unreasonable.

However, why is Yin Qingqing so happy about a pottery workshop and the gravel on this hill? !

"Husband, let's go, let's go to the pottery workshop in the col."

Xiao Huaijin knew that Yin Qingqing must be thinking about something again.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to get to the bottom of it, and accompanied Yin Qingqing all the way down to the col without making a sound.

The person in charge of the pottery workshop, when he heard that there were outsiders coming, thought they were here to discuss business, so he hurriedly greeted him with a happy face.

However, when he looked at Xiao Huaijin and Yin lightly, his joyful mood sank a little in an instant.

The two people in front of them were dressed in coarse linen, and they probably didn't have any big deals to discuss.

However, the person in charge of this pottery workshop is quite kind, and he still asked politely.

"The two of you have come from afar, what can you do?"

"The master is very polite, this is my head. My husband and I took the liberty to visit, but I actually have an unfeeling request, and I hope the master will not refuse."

"Please tell me it's okay, I probably can't help you much, I hope to hear more about it."

"It's like this. The woman wants to rent your workshop for one month. I don't know how to negotiate the price?"

"Rent... my workshop?"

The person in charge was obviously startled by Yin Qingwei's request, and unconsciously repeated what she said.

"Yes, the housewives sincerely ask for it, and the price is easy to negotiate."

"This...it's not a matter of price. My small workshop has insufficient resources and limited manpower. I just rely on my family's craftsmanship to burn some small objects to support my family. I don't know, you two want to rent my small workshop. What does the workshop do?"

"You are a pottery workshop. I rented it, so I naturally want to make pottery. It's just that the pottery I want is a little... different."

Yin Qingqing said with confidence, which made Xiao Huaijin dumbfounded again.

This Yin Qingwei knows how to make pottery?
I don't know, where did she find this skill?

"Oh, I understand now. You want to order pottery, right? I'm not bragging. Although my workshop is not big, the craftsmanship of pottery has been passed down for generations. As long as you can tell , I will do my best next time.”

Yin smiled slightly and waved his hands to explain.

"Master, you have misunderstood. The pottery I want can only be fired by myself! Just think about it, I want to rent your workshop for a month, and I need to pay as much as the taels of silver."

"Well... site fee, lost time fee, labor, raw materials..."

The person in charge said that it wasn't the money problem, but his attitude was obviously saying that the problem was the lack of money!
"Master, take it easy. I will prepare the labor and raw materials myself, so I won't bother you."

When the person in charge heard Yin Qingqing's words, he became more and more suspicious.

He wondered if Yin Qingqing was afraid that his people would steal his teacher's skills, so he couldn't help asking.

"It's just you and your wife? Don't blame me for asking too much. I don't know what kind of pottery clay did you use to make the blanks?"

"Just the sand on this hill."

Yin said softly, pointing.

When the person in charge heard Yin Qingqing's words, his complexion suddenly sank.

"You two have nothing to do. Interrupt me when you have time, but I don't have so much free time. Come on, you two are easy to go, so I won't see you off!"

The person in charge put down a word, turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Yin Weiwei hurried forward and stopped him.

"Master, don't worry, the women are sincerely discussing cooperation with you, why should you reject people thousands of miles away?"

"I'm afraid you're joking! My ancestors didn't even know that borax can be used to make pottery. If you two keep messing around, don't blame me for being rude!"

Xiao Huaijin saw that the person in charge was really impatient, and she was afraid that he would hurt Yin Qingqing when he was agitated.

So, Xiao Huaijin hurriedly took a step forward and stood by Yin Qingqing's side.

Yin Qingqing couldn't help turning her head to look at Xiao Huaijin and smiled sweetly. Some words were self-evident.

"My master, please listen to me. I sincerely want to rent your workshop. If you are worried, we can make a statement. After one month, if there is any loss in your workshop, I am willing to pay the price." compensation!"

In the end, under Yin Qingyuan's hard persuasion, the head of the pottery workshop finally let go.

The two sides bargained over the price, and after some contesting, Yin Qingwei paid 30 taels of rent, and did this innocent trick!
30 taels of silver, not to mention renting this pottery workshop for a month, even buying it, is more than enough!

After signing the document, Yin Qingqing couldn't help feeling that he had suffered a great loss, and even jumped up and down, walking briskly home with Xiao Huaijin on his arm.

Xiao Huaijin was full of doubts and couldn't help asking.

"Don't tell me that the master doesn't know, and I haven't heard of it, that borax can be used to make pottery?"

"Oh, he doesn't understand!"

"His ancestors made pottery, he doesn't understand? Then...you know so much, where did you learn pottery making skills?"

"Ah... well... it's easy to talk about! Isn't it just..."

"I learned it from a book again? What kind of strange book is this? You have to make it clear. I must find it and study it carefully!"

Before Xiao Huaijin could wait for Yin Qingqing to tell her improvised reasons, she blocked her escape route first.

Yin Qingwei's expression froze, he smirked awkwardly, and shook his head in a daze.

"No, I didn't learn it from books! Actually... I listened to..."

"Have you heard it? Then I'm even more curious! There are very few people who know how to make pottery and burn pottery. Moreover, this craft and secret recipe are mostly passed down from generation to generation, and only the head of the family is in charge. Even the offshoots of the clan don’t understand the meaning of it. I don’t know... where did you hear it, and who is the one who is so impartial and straightforward?”

The idea that Yin Qingyuan had just had was once again strangled in the cradle by Xiao Huaijin!

She opened her mouth stupidly, and for a moment, her whole body froze, and she really didn't know how to continue.

Facing Yin Qingqing's panic, Xiao Huaijin's expression was careless but aggressive.

"Hehe... oops, I'm actually... yes..."

"Did you forget?"

"Yes, yes, it's been so long, I really can't remember!"

Without even thinking about it, Yin Qingqing followed the steps Xiao Huaijin gave her and said impatiently.

Damn it, why didn't she think of such a good excuse just now, and Xiao Huaijin needed to remind her!

However, Yin Qingqing never thought that Xiao Huaijin was not so kind.
