Chapter 6 Make Money

Tang Mi frowned, her eyes were cold, she looked at Su Ting like she was looking at a fool.

Su Ting was startled.

The next moment Tang Mi spoke, "You are still a scholar? Did you read all the books into the dog's stomach? Don't you know whether men and women can kiss each other?"

"Let go, don't stop me from doing business! Otherwise, I'll be molested!"

Her words seemed to be filled with burning anger, Su Ting was so frightened that he withdrew his hand.

Su Ting has been studying in the academy in the town for these years. After being selected as a Tongsheng this time, the husband bluntly said that he is also an old Tongsheng. He was afraid that he would not be able to teach Su Ting anything, so he suggested that Su Ting go to the county academy to study.

When people go to high places, water flows to low places.

Going to study in an academy in the county, not only is Shu Xiu much higher than the town, but even the pens, inks, papers and inkstones he buys must be better than before, so as not to be looked down upon by his classmates.

Su Ting understood that the Tang family couldn't afford the money.

Moreover, he will definitely be an official in the future, and if he marries an ugly monster as his wife, he is afraid that he will be laughed at by his colleagues.

If Tang Mi really liked him, he would naturally understand his difficulties, instead of making unreasonable troubles like this again and again.

"My young master, this grasshopper costs four cents a piece, the basket fifteen cents, and the cricket cage six cents!" Tang Mi turned around and smiled at the young man behind Su Ting, and said, "This thing of mine is different from other people's. It’s different, if you buy an ordinary grass cage, it will change color after a few days, but mine can last at least a month!”

This young master is Li He, the young owner of the only bookstore in the town. He has no interest in reading, but likes fighting cocks and crickets!

Li He smiled when he heard this, it was the first time he had heard someone dare to brag like this, "Little girl, you bragging is too outrageous!"

"Su Xianggong and I are from the same village! If I lie to you, you will come to my door, and I will definitely refund your money!" Tang Mi said firmly, "And look at this handicraft, is it the same as other people's? Are the cages sold different?"

Li He took a look at the cricket cage from the banana leaf, and found that the emerald green cage was indeed beautifully woven.

He scanned the small stall again, and replied with a smile, "Okay!"

"Since you and Brother Su are in the same village, I will trust your words!"

In fact, he said this casually.

Now that Su Ting has won Tongsheng, he will be a scholar in a few years, with many friends and many paths.

Moreover, Li He had just seen Su Ting tugging at the girl's cuff, obviously he not only knew him, but was very familiar with him.

"Okay." Tang Mi stood up with a smile, and put all the things into the basket, "Young master, you are a cheerful person, three grass dragonflies, three grasshoppers, one basket and two cricket cages, 51 cents together, I'll charge you fifty cents!"

Fifty Wen is not much to Li He.

It's not bad to take these grasshoppers and grasshoppers back to make my sisters happy.

As for this basket, I can take it to my mother to hold camellias.

Li He readily took out the copper plate, and Tang Mi praised Li He as if his mouth had been smeared with honey, coaxing Li He to smile.

Although this little girl is not good-looking, her voice is really nice, like the tinkling of spring water.

Su Ting stood between the two of them, he wanted to stop him but was afraid that Tang Mi would make a fuss, which was rather embarrassing.

After Li He left, Tang Mi also picked up the pannier, turned around and walked towards the pier without looking at Su Ting at all, as if she just smiled and said that the people in his village were not her.

Su Ting could only suffer this sullen loss secretly, thinking that he should listen to his mother and stay away from this woman.

Otherwise she would stick to herself like a leech, sucking her blood dry.

.........

Tang Mi didn't care what Su Ting thought, just now Su Ting took advantage of her, she naturally wanted to take it back.

She took fifty copper coins and was very happy.

This is the first time she came here to earn money.

When passing by the pork shop, she also specially bought some pig offal and trotters.

People with a little money in this dynasty didn't know how to eat pork. They disliked the strange taste of pork.

Especially pig offal and trotters, the price is even cheaper.

Tang Mi spent twenty Wen to buy a lot of pig offal and trotters.

She is only 13 years old with this body now, and she is already a little hungry when she is growing her body.When passing by the meat bun shop, she bought two big meat buns for four Wen and walked towards the pier.

The wharf in Pingxiang Town is not big, only some small merchant ships dock here, so there is not every day work on the wharf.

Like today, Tang Gu stood on the pier for a full hour, but he didn't wait for half of the employer.

He had a dark face and looked a little anxious.

The family is short of money now, and my younger sister even used two taels of silver to buy ginseng slices in order to make her father recover soon.

According to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, it is indeed better to add ginseng to this medicine, and it has to be taken for half a month.

Half a month?

Can't this take away all the money from my sister?
Tang Gu frowned anxiously.

"Dagu!" Someone pushed him, "There is a little girl looking for you!"

When Tang Gu came back to his senses, he saw Tang Mi walking over with a basket on his back.

She looked up and saw herself, and even smiled.

Tang Gu immediately put on a smile. He stood up from the foot of the wall, and quickly ran towards Tang Mi, "Sister, why are you here? Is the tea in the tea house not delicious?"

"I don't have any work to do today, so I'll accompany you to your house first?"

Tang Mi took out something wrapped in oil paper from the basket and handed it to Tang Gu, "Here!"

Tang Gu was a little curious, and took a look, it turned out to be a meat bun!
These meat buns cost two cents each!
He usually eats a penny and a coarse grain steamed bun, so how can he be willing to eat this.

"I'm not hungry!" Tang Gu rejected Tang Mi's offer, and wanted to return the buns, but Tang Mi refused to take them no matter what.

She lowered her voice and said to Tang Gu, "Brother, eat quickly!"

"I sold all the things I brought today! I made a full fifty cents!"

Now, Tang Gu was dumbfounded!

"Really...really?"

It's no wonder that Tang Gu was puzzled, he only earned [-] Wen a day on the pier if he was lucky, and this was a time when his luck was particularly good.

Most of the time, he and his father squatted on the pier for a day, and they may not have a penny in the account.

"Really!" Tang Mi opened the old money bag, revealing the copper coins inside, "In the future, I can also make money for my family!"

When Tang Gu heard the words, he was not at all happy.

Like him, there are Tang Dashi and Jiang Shi.

In their memory, because of the birthmark on her face, her daughter seldom went to the village entrance, not to mention going out to do small business.

In their hearts, they are more or less blaming themselves.

Especially Jiang Shi, she has been wondering if she ate something she shouldn't have eaten when she was pregnant with her daughter.

Otherwise, how come the children in the family are all white and clean, but the daughter looks like this.

"Miss Mi!" Jiang Shi looked at the copper coin that Tang Mi handed over, but did not accept it. Instead, he comforted her with red eyes, "You earned it, just keep it!"
