Ms. Qian was not willing to take a big risk, but she wasn't averse to taking any risk at all. After weighing her options, she finally decided to take out some money to buy a flatbed cart.
The household lacked one, and since Manbao had started going to school, her opportunities to go out had become more frequent. Having a flatbed cart at home would also be convenient. Even if this business venture didn't work out, the cart could still be used, so it wouldn't be a loss.
However, she was not very keen on buying a large cauldron. She said, "We have a large cauldron for boiling water at home and a smaller one, which is sufficient for stewing and boiling things. If we buy another one and don't need it later, wouldn't that be a waste?"
She continued, "A large cauldron costs more than three hundred coins. If the business goes as well as it did today, then fine, but what if it doesn't?"
