Dawang's Silver hadn't lasted a few days before Da Qiangzi managed to blow it all, but these few days were busy for Dawang, who hadn't had the time to check on him. This started to make Da Qiangzi suspicious—had his foolish son suddenly become wise to his scheming?
After much thought, Da Qiangzi decided he wasn't ready to give up so easily and went to Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop the next day.
Although he knew where the back door of the workshop was, Da Qiangzi, now dressed brightly, insisted on entering through the front door and finding the very apprentice who had driven him out last time.
The apprentice, aware that the man was Dawang's father, warmed up a great deal upon this meeting, inviting him to sit in the main hall while he went to fetch Dawang from the back.
