In the ancient alley, a small bamboo-weaving shop takes on its first large bulk order, requiring one hundred and twenty-eight catties of dates to be transported before noon. During test loading, the shopkeeper finds the bamboo baskets have limited weight capacity, and proactively explains the real situation to the merchant, discussing with the assistant to transport them in two trips. Facing price comparisons, debts, and delivery deadlines, everyone insists on fair trade, accurate weighing, and careful inspection, ultimately delivering the date cargo on schedule and settling the material costs and wages. The neighboring shop realizes that each has their own strengths and becomes willing to help each other.
