Chapter 46
This person is different from the aunt in front. He negotiated the price with Tang Mi for a long time, and finally bought two dustpans after Tang Mi agreed to save a penny.

He also seemed very happy, after all the bosses of other grocery stores were not as easy to talk to as Tang Mi, and making them lose a penny was like killing them.

"You guys are quick to do business!" he said, "I'll come back next time!"

Tang Mi smiled and nodded, "Then you must come!"

After the guest left, the sky gradually brightened.

Not many people came to the store to buy groceries in the morning, most of them came to buy pickles and brown sugar cakes.

At noon, an old man came.

The old man exuded a faint smell of herbs, and he seemed to be a person who dealt with herbs.

After wandering around the shop, he seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Little girl..." The man hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can your store make orders?"

Tang Mi was stunned for a moment, "Guest, what do you want?"

"I have a batch of herbs in my hand that need to be exposed to the sun, but these herbs can't be placed on the soil to dry, which will affect the efficacy of the medicine!" The old man said, "I want a sun mat that is bigger than a mat!"

The old man had a bitter look on his face. Things like sunbathing mats, although they look similar to bamboo mats, are very complicated to make and require a lot of effort, so general grocery stores will not sell them.

There are craftsmen who are willing to do it, but the price is ridiculously high.

Fortunately, the person he asked this time was Tang Mi.

When Tang Mi was learning crafts from her master in the past, the master taught her how to weave sun mats, because the master is a countryman, and every year he weaves sun mats to dry rice.Later, after cement floors became common, sun mats became less and less common.

But in this place in ancient times, how could there be any concrete floor in the countryside?
"It can be done, but it will take a while!" Tang Mi pondered for a while before answering, "Old man, can you wait?"

The old man was overjoyed, and he smiled, "Yes, I want five sun pads, and I'd like to give you 28 for one sun pad, not [-], is that okay?"

He was a little apprehensive, and felt that the price was not high, after all, it took a lot of time to make sun pads.

But Tang Mi has space, and the time in the space passes very slowly.

"Sure!" Tang Mi said, "Five of them are 140 Wen in total. If it's convenient for you, please leave us a deposit."

The old man happily paid a deposit of [-] Wen, saying that he was from Laohugou, his surname was Yang and his name was Wenyuan.

Yang Wenyuan was getting old, and the weight of the five sun pads was not light. Finally, after discussing with Tang Mi and Tang Dashi, Tang Mi decided to let Tang Dashi and Tang Gu send them over when they were ready.

Yang Wenyuan was very grateful, and when he was happy, he bought some things from the shop and left, and was finally given a piece of brown sugar cake by Tang Mi.

As soon as Yang Wenyuan left, Tang Dashi asked Tang Mi worriedly, "Third girl, do you really know how to weave sun mats?"

"I will!" Tang Mi was very confident, "But I still need my father and elder brother to help me, five of them will cost a lot of bamboo!"

There are a lot of bamboo in the mountains, Tang Dashi knows several places with a lot of bamboo.

Seeing Tang Mi's answer like this, he was relieved a lot.

Because of Yang Wenyuan's arrival, they earned more money on this day than on the first day. When Tang Dashi and Tang Mi returned home, both father and daughter chose to ride an ox cart.

The person who came to drive the car today was Liang Rokuro, the youngest son of the Liang family.

Liang Liulang used to work on the pier. When he saw Tang Dashi, he greeted Tang Dashi with a smile, "Uncle Tang, are you going to the market today?"

"No!" Tang Dashi was enthusiastic. Liang Liulang smiled at him, and he replied seriously, "I opened a shop in the town to sell some groceries. If you need anything, remember to come and visit me!"

Liang Liulang was a little surprised when he heard the words, "Ah, Uncle Tang, are you in business? But I heard people say that business is not easy in this town, you have to be more cautious!"

Liang Rokuro really cared about him, and the worry in his eyes was obvious.

If the business is really easy to do, there won't be so many shops in this town that cannot be rented out.

Money is so hard to earn these days.

"It's okay, I know it!" Tang Dashi thought to himself, I earned almost a month's rent in two days, but he still understood that the money should not be exposed, so he said, "As long as you don't lose money to eat!"

When Liang Rokuro saw him say this, he knew that he hadn't lost money, and he didn't continue to ask. Instead, he asked where the shop was, and he must visit it another day.

The person sitting in the carriage was a friend of the Zhang family, and he felt a little uncomfortable after hearing these words.

After waiting for a while, I found an excuse and got off the bullock cart.

He found Zhang Hu, and went to Tang's shop together with Zhang Hu, and saw that there were many customers in the shop, even though Tang Gu was clumsy and unable to speak, these people bought things without hesitation.

Some people even ordered the Tang family's pannier, saying that the girl in the family liked it.

Zhang Hu was angry and sour.

The panniers made by Tang Mi have always been selling well, and he also knew that Tang Mi would make other things, and he planned to keep doing business with the Tang family!As a result, mother Liang made her own decision, not only suppressing the price of the Tang family, but also delusional to make the Tang family obediently grateful, isn't this nonsense?
Now the Tang family simply stopped cooperating with the Zhang family, and Tang Liang didn't even look good when he saw Zhang Hu, and Zhang Hu couldn't express the bitterness in his heart.

"You think of a way!" The man said to Zhang Hu, "Let the Tang family move something for you?"

Zhang Hu smiled wryly, "Thank you, big brother, but I don't have the face. Even if I shamelessly go to Tang Liang, he probably won't agree! We really did it unkindly!"

They bought Tang Mi's back basket for ten yuan, but sold it for fifteen yuan, making a full five yuan, which is already a huge bargain.

It's just a pity for this business.

After returning home, Mrs. Liang kept chattering that the Tang family was shameless, and they were also selling groceries in the town to steal their business!

Mrs. Liang scolded harshly, which made Zhang Hu a little angry.

"Mother!" Zhang Hu interrupted Liang's words, "There are many grocery stores in this town, and our Zhang family is not the only one who can do this business? Besides, the Tang family's grocery store is several blocks away from us. , why is it stealing business?"

"You..." Liang Shi was also angry, "You speak for outsiders?"

"I'm trying to reason with you!" Zhang Hu frowned, "If you scold the Tang family, don't say it outside, I can't afford to lose this person!"

"If it wasn't for you, why wouldn't the Tang family not sell us back baskets? They even opened a shop! Just watch your mouth!"

Liang was speechless.

Since Tang Mi came to Zhang's house without selling a backpack, several groups of people have come to ask questions.

But so what?She introduced them to buy other backpacks, but others looked down on the workmanship of other backpacks, and they disliked the poor workmanship!

Liang Shi regretted it, but she insisted.

……

Tang Mi was not in the mood to know about the Zhang family's affairs.

When she got home, she cut down the bamboo in the backyard and started teaching Tang Dashi and Tang Liang to weave sun mats together.

Sitting at the door of the house, Mrs. Jiang looked at her husband and children in the yard, couldn't help but narrowed her eyes with a smile, and reminded, "Be careful with knives!"
