Thousands of miles and a pound of paint

Chapter 52 Purchasing Lacquer
Regarding the news of the improvement of the master's condition, Su Li had already reported it to several senior brothers before leaving the hospital.

Originally, Chen Peng suggested not to tell Xu Jingjing, but Su Li insisted on sending her a text message. After all, she is the only daughter of Mrs. Shifu. Regardless of whether she comes or not, Su Li thinks that she should know the good news.

What if she had a conscience and found out that she would come to see the master?
What if?
Even knowing that the probability of this eventuality is very small, she still wants to try her best.

During this period of time, although my wife never mentioned Xu Jingjing, Su Li saw her holding her mobile phone in the middle of the night, hesitating whether to call Xu Jingjing. The longing for her mother was an uncontrollable emotional connection.

So on this matter, Su Li's attitude was very tough, and she insisted on telling Xu Jingjing.

Of course, Ding Muqing was completely divided. As for whether Xu Jingjing would tell him about this idleness, Su Li didn't intend to help her think about it.

When Su Li returned to Xia Xinglan's house, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

She stood on the balcony, thinking about the wording of the purchase, while taking care of her favorite thorny rose.

After dialing, it rang three times before being connected. Su Li was almost ready to hang up. After all, it was a little too late, and it was normal for people to rest.

"Hello, is this Boss Xiao who paints together?"

The voice on the other side sounded like a woman, with a loud and full voice: "Are you?"

"I was recommended by an acquaintance to buy from your house. I heard that your lacquer is very good. It is all picked by the paint farmers themselves. The lacquer liquid is thick and thick."

It's hard to say that Su Li was introduced by Chen Peng. It would be embarrassing if people say they don't know each other, but acquaintances are very useful.

The woman on the opposite side heard Su Li boasting that her products were good, and she immediately laughed heartily, "Yes, yes! My lacquer is indeed very good, but the output is not high... The main reason is that my old man said that the quality must be guaranteed. Quan, his surname is Xiao."

Su Li nodded subconsciously, "That's right, our studio would like to purchase a batch of five kilograms of raw lacquer and two kilograms of cashew nut paint from your house, as well as one kilogram of tile ash, one kilogram of orange oil, and three kilograms of push varnish. I just need these for now, is it convenient for you?"

The woman's voice was a little rough, with a taste of dialect, "Let me check the inventory, just wait a moment."

Listening to her dialect, Su Li felt like a lady from Sichuan.

Because lacquer trees are mainly distributed in warm and humid regions of Asia, they grow in vast areas of my country, among which Sichuan is the most common, because of its perennial temperature of 8-17 degrees Celsius, annual precipitation of 1000-1600mm, and annual average relative humidity of 70-85 %, is the most suitable environment for the growth of sumac.

So the owner of the shop is from Sichuan, which to a certain extent gave Su Li confidence.

Originally, the Sichuan area has long been dominated by naturally scattered wild wood lacquer, coupled with the planted small wood lacquer of later generations. The combination of the two makes Zuli have more expectations for the quality of their raw lacquer.

Realizing this, Su Li immediately changed his accent, speaking rough Sichuan dialect, "Okay, I'm sorry."

The lady was stunned for a moment, and immediately switched to a dialect with a Sichuan accent: "It's okay, don't you want anything else? Why don't you have some crushed mother-of-pearl, gold powder, and pearl powder together?"

It seems that Madam subconsciously regards Su Li as a fellow villager, and she completely loses the feeling of Trump before.

Although Su Li can speak some Sichuan dialect, but not all of them, he can only rely on his local accent of Sichuan dialect, and go along and say: "Ma'am, we still have those in stock, so we don't need them for now."

The lady was also very talkative, and said directly: "Okay, if you need to contact us later."

This time, Su Li is based on the principle of saving what can be saved, and only supplements the materials that are not in the studio's warehouse. After all, the rest is considered manual expenses.

Although her Sichuan dialect is a bit broken, it still has that flavor, "Yeah, it must be, how much money do you think?"

The lady didn't expose her either, she just let out a suppressed laugh from time to time.

"Five kilograms of raw lacquer is 430 yuan per kilogram, which is 160 yuan."

The voice of the lady pressing the calculator was very fast, and she knew that she was a very skilled businessman.

"Cashew nut paint, tile ash and orange oil, a total of 440 yuan, let's count it as your 440 yuan."

This also comes with the attribute of wiping out bits and pieces, so Su Li shouldn't be too moved.

But the next sentence, the lady is a little confused: "Our family's push varnish is the best in a radius of tens of miles, and it costs 560 yuan per kilogram. Can you accept it?"

The lady actually asked about this price intimately, she didn't know how much lower than Ding Muqing's purchase price, okay?

Su Li was naturally very satisfied with these quotations, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, you can just calculate it."

There was another sound of pen tip drawing on paper from the opposite side, which should be the rustling sound of the lady keeping accounts.

"Okay, that's 680 yuan, a total of 320 yuan, and I'll give you three more packs of absorbent cotton balls, what do you think?"

Here Su Li couldn't keep his mouth shut for a long time, and the lady actually gave something back.

Help!

What a fairy shop this is!
Su Li felt that if Chen Peng was in front of her now, she would definitely give him one.

"Ma'am, you are too polite, I have no problem, how do you pay?"

Payment!

I want to pay!

Pay immediately!

For such a good thing like a pie in the sky, Su Li only hoped to settle it as quickly as possible.

On the contrary, the lady said calmly: "Hey, you can tell that you are still a student from the sound of your voice, and you are also a college student starting a business, right? The lady knows that it is not easy for you, so I will give it away if you can~"

not easy!
It's really not easy!

When Su Li heard these words, her eyes were moist. It was indeed not easy for her during this time.

"Thank you ma'am, I will contact you later if I need to."

The lady laughed again and said: "Yes! The lacquer of our Lieer is collected by the four lacquer farmers. It is fresh and thick. It will never be mixed with other things. You use it well, and you will come to my house to buy it if you specify."

The lady from Sichuan spoke very fast, she didn't want to stop, Su Li couldn't get in the conversation at all.

She went on to say: "This mobile phone number is my WeChat in the house, you add me, I will send you the list, and you send me the address."

The lady paused, and Su Li was finally able to say a word, "Okay, I'll add you."

"Yeah, I'll take a picture of the goods and let you have a look."

Can you do this?

Is the pre-sales service so thoughtful?

Compared with those suppliers I contacted before, this is not too fragrant. I don’t dislike Su Li’s purchases. Not to mention, they are high-quality and cheap, and they also come with wiping and gift attributes. Now they are taking pictures.

　The purchase price of raw lacquer in this article is the result of comparing it with the price in the current market. I can’t help but sigh, lacquerware is really only used by nobles~
