Chapter 137: Buying a Clay Pot

"Hehe, it's no trouble, no trouble; I'll get them clean, rest assured!"

The kiln factory owner directed the workers, and now there wasn't much to do; keeping the workers idle was a waste, so giving them some tasks eased his burden as well.

It was just over 20 clay pots, and the owner assigned two workers— one to fetch water and another to wash them, which they did speedily.

Hongji watched them hauling so many buckets of water to clean the clay pots and admired his daughter's intelligence. If he had brought these many pots back home to wash, how many buckets would he have needed to carry?

The five cents spent were well worth it; right now, he didn't even have time for his carving work. It wouldn't make sense to waste time on trifles.

If it had been before, when he earned just ten cents a day, five cents would be costly. But now his value had increased.
