Blessed peasant girl has space

Chapter 40 Business
Tang Mi had this idea before, but she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to talk to her family.

The second brother, Tang Liang, is okay, he can do carpentry and pigs, so he doesn't need to work as a coolie on the dock.But father and elder brother can't work hard all the time, especially father...

Doctor Wen told Tang Mi in private that although her father's injuries had gradually recovered, it was obviously impossible for her father to be as capable as before.

After thinking about it, Tang Mi still felt that it would be best to let the family do some small business.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars really look down on businessmen, but if the family can't afford food, why do they care about being a businessman or not?
"Sister!" Tang Gu knew that his sister would be furious, and it was also because he felt sorry for himself. He said that it was a lie that he was not moved, "I'm really fine!"

"Brother is a rough man, he's used to begging for life on the pier! I'll just find another job tomorrow!"

Tang Mi saved some private money, but Tang Gu knew that most of her came to supplement the family. The food in the family has been getting better and better recently, and it was also Tang Mi's hard earned money. He is a big man, how could he want a younger sister? The reason for raising?

Besides, Manager Yang's family wasn't the only one who could do the job on the pier, he could find others.

"Brother! I've been thinking about it for a long time before I told you about this!" Tang Mi also knew what Tang Gu was thinking, and immediately broke it up and told him in detail, "I'm going to the third cousin's shop today. Look, he has a lot of customers over there, and he can make a lot of money in a day, which is more than brother and dad working on the pier for a few days!"

"At the end of the year, the family will have more younger brothers or younger sisters, and the small books will require a lot of repairs! I heard from the manager of Renhe Bookstore that a lot of money will be prepared for the imperial examination!"

"Is it hard to earn enough just by working on the pier? So I figured, why not start a small business!"

Although Tang Mi's cooking is good, it's not her job after all. She is a craftsman and has a lot of experience in making small things.

The baskets she weaves sell well, and she can also weave baskets, dustpans, baskets, etc. There are ready-made bamboos in the back of the house. As long as Tang Gu and Tang Dashi learn some crafts with her, they can sell some for money.

She can't guarantee how well it will sell, but it will definitely make more money than on the pier.

Moreover, she took a look around the town and indeed found some business opportunities.

If someone else told Tang Gu about this, he must think that this person is whimsical, but the burritos that Tang Mi helped Hu Sanmu make sold well in the town, and everyone who had eaten said that the burritos were cheap and delicious , the main thing is to be full, and everyone likes it very much.

Tang Gu thought, maybe my sister really has a way?
The two brothers and sisters were talking all the way without noticing the gaze behind them.

.........

"That ugly girl just now is Tang Gu's younger sister? This girl really doesn't look like a country girl, she has better calculations than me!" someone said.

"Yes!" The person not far from this person is also an accountant. When he was listening to the commotion, he fiddled with the abacus, but before he could figure it out, Tang Mi said it eloquently. , "This girl is amazing, it's a pity..."

It's a pity that it is a woman, and there is a birthmark on her face.

Steward Yang scoffed when he heard the words, "He's just an unrefined country boy, worthy of your praise?"

When he was in the state capital, didn't he meet those high-ranking women who could do a good job?
A mud-legged person like Tang Mi, who knows how to count, deserves such praise from these people?
The people around smiled, but they didn't answer Manager Yang's words.

Only a middle-aged man in dark blue was silent. He just looked at the backs of his brother and sister not far away, and fell into deep thought.

……

When Tang Mi and Tang Gu went to Zhang's shop to buy pots, Zhang Hu was not in the shop, and Zhang Hu's mother, Mrs. Liang, was guarding the shop.

As soon as Mrs. Liang saw Tang Mi, she complained to her, saying that the business of the shop was very bad recently, many things could not be sold, and they had to pay high rent.

Tang Mi was a little confused at first, but later she understood what Liang meant.

Mrs. Liang felt that it was too expensive for her son to buy Tang Mi's basket for ten cents, and said that they were all from the same village, so she asked Tang Mi to sell it to them at a lower price.

"How much money does Auntie think is good?" Tang Mi asked tentatively, "I'm young, so I don't understand prices!"

Seeing Tang Mi's answer like this, Mrs. Liang thought it was a sure thing.

She thought triumphantly that she was really smart, but it was a pity that her son would not listen to her advice, otherwise he would have lowered the price a long time ago.

In fact, the baskets made by Tang Mi are selling very well in the town because of their skillful workmanship, and some girls from the next town come here to buy them specially.Together, Zhang Hu and Liang raised the price of the basket to fifteen yuan, but even so, they still had no worries about selling it.

Zhang Hu has been in business for many years, and he has a sweet mouth and can make people happy!Therefore, Mrs. Liang felt that the sale of this backpack was all due to their eloquence, and Tang Mi's handwork was not worth that much money at all.

The baskets sold by the country people are usually eight renminbi. Liang looked at Tang Mi and the simple and honest Tang Gu in front of him, and knew that the countryman is a simple and honest person, so he said, "Five renminbi!"

"Auntie can't help it. You are young and not strong enough, and the basket weaving is not so good! But we are in the same village, and it is not easy for Auntie to let you do free work, right? I should help your family, and Auntie will definitely help Yes, what is the price of five Wen that Auntie will give you now?"

Tang Mi smiled when she heard the words, as if she was not angry at all, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Mrs. Liang thought it was going to happen, but Tang Mi answered the next moment, "I'm really too busy recently, I probably don't have time to weave a pannier!"

This sentence is to reject Liang's proposal.

After finishing speaking, she walked out of Zhang's shop with Tang Gu without even buying the clay pot.

Tang Mi planned to start a business by herself, so she naturally had a certain understanding of the prices of the goods in the town. The second-hand baskets can be sold for six yuan. Her handwork is good, so why is it only worth five yuan?Mrs. Liang just saw that she was young and a country girl, so she was easy to bully.

Liang Shi wanted to go after Tang Mi, but Tang Gu didn't give Liang Shi the slightest chance, and left after protecting Tang Mi.

Mrs. Liang called out "terrible" in her heart. If her son knew that he had messed up this matter, he might have to say a few words to her.

Tang Gu was also angry, it was Zhang Hu who begged them to sell the back basket to the Zhang family.

He also saw a few beautifully dressed little girls carrying the panniers made by his sister, and seeing that they liked it very much, he knew in his heart that the price of this pannier would not be low.

"Third Sister, don't worry!" Tang Gu's swearing Tang Mi said, "When you finish weaving the pannier, brother will bring it to the town and sell it. You'll be done, and no one will want you!"
