Things had changed now. Ever since Su Shen’s pig farm had been established, the lives of the villagers had improved significantly. This was especially true for the people of Daqing Village. With more money in their pockets, no one was willing to let themselves or their families endure the cold.

As a result, everyone would buy some coal according to their financial capabilities to prepare for the winter. Although the amount purchased was not substantial, it still marked the beginning of this new kind of expenditure.

Upon seeing Gu Zi’s arrival, Aunt Zhang hurriedly made her way towards her, guiding Gu Zi through the crowd. In no time, they reached the coal seller. Gu Zi noticed that the cart was not entirely filled with coal. There were also processed coal balls, which were more convenient to use.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Gu Zi decided to buy the coal balls. The price was clearly marked on the cart. The coal balls were slightly more expensive than the raw coal, sold at 0.13 yuan each.

Gu Zi observed that most people were buying raw coal because it was cheaper and they didn’t need much. Only a few villagers bought the coal balls, with the most anyone bought being twenty. Gu Zi had an idea and began to inquire about the price from the coal seller, “Boss, how much are the coal balls?”

The coal seller rolled his eyes and replied gruffly, “0.13 yuan each, can’t you read?”

Gu Zi wasn’t offended by his tone. She understood that some people naturally had loud voices and spoke harshly without any facial expressions. These people were too busy with their lives to bother with courtesy.

Gu Zi was not a sensitive person. She didn’t mind his attitude and continued to negotiate calmly, “We need a lot at my house. Can you give a discount? If you can, I’ll buy them right away.” As she spoke, she placed Su Le in the small cart to let her play for a while.

The coal seller sneered at her request and asked directly, “How many can you buy? Can you buy a hundred? If you can, I’ll give you a discount.”

Gu Zi didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she asked, “Do you only sell coal once a year? Oh dear, why is this little girl touching the coal? You shouldn’t smear it on your face.”
