She didn’t pay much attention to anything else, focusing on teaching Wang Ting and a few others how to skate on the sliding board.
Sun Tiezhu also came with her and just waited on the side. By noon, after Pei Qin finished teaching, she went with him to talk to the shopkeeper of the Wang family about renewing the contract.
Initially, Sun Tiezhu was worried that the Wang family wouldn’t want to renew the contract, since sliding boards were not difficult to make. Any skilled carpenter the Wangs hired could probably make better ones than they did.
Unexpectedly, the Wangs renewed the contract anyway, asking Sun Tiezhu to deliver a certain number of sliding boards each month, and then they would inform him how much of what type of wood to order based on sales.
Pei Qin didn’t take a cut of this money. Sun Tiezhu wasn’t willing, but in the end they agreed that for the sliding boards sold through her efforts, she would receive a commission, albeit a smaller one. The same would apply to hand-pulled carts and hand-pushed carts too.
She taught until the afternoon. After making arrangements with Wang Ting and the little radishes for the next time she would come over, she went home as the sky was already turning dark.
