Blessed peasant girl has space

Chapter 60 Selling Umbrellas
In Li Cai's heart, Tang Mi is a capable person with superb craftsmanship, and he can eat wherever he goes. The noble wives and young ladies in the county like her cooking very much.

As long as Li Cai thinks that the Tang family has opened a shop now, if they don't sell things to him in the future, or go to the county to do business with others, he will be very worried.

This is where he struggles the most.

Who in this world doesn't like money?
Li Cai never thought that Tang Mi would appear suddenly, so he didn't suppress his joy.

"There are only three fans, but I brought something else, do you want to see it?" Tang Mi was also taken aback by Li Cai's smile, and now Li Cai looked at her as if he was looking down. The golden egg is as addictive as the chicken, which has never been seen before.

When Li Cai heard it, he immediately slapped his legs, "Of course I have to watch it!"

Tang Mi took out the finished purple bamboo umbrella from the basket, and said, "A few days ago I went to the mountains to cut bamboo, and found a few different purple bamboos, which were like jade, warming the tentacles. Although the weather is hot today, But when it rains, it’s always a bit cold. This umbrella can be used not only in summer, but also in winter to cover the snow!”

If someone else said that, Li Cai would definitely not believe it. How could there be such a treasure in this world?
But when Tang Mi said this, he was curious.

Li Cai was curious as he took the umbrella, "Girl, you are really good. The most important thing about making a fan is proficiency. If you want to do it well, you must have solid skills in your hands, and you must have a clever mind!"

He had also seen a century-old store in the county selling oiled paper umbrellas, and the price remained high.

The most common oil-paper umbrella in the town costs [-] cents. Ordinary people really can't afford oil-paper umbrellas, they all use plantain umbrellas!It's just that when the banana leaves dry up, the umbrella will break.

But the cheapest umbrella of this time-honored brand costs [-] renminbi.

Li Cai was a little curious and asked to know that this time-honored shop sells ingenuity and craftsmanship.

At that time, he cruelly spent a lot of money and bought a handful back for his wife, who was very happy.

"I carved plum blossoms around the branches of the umbrella!" Tang Mi introduced to Li Cai, "The umbrella surface is very strong, it can prevent rain, it can also cover snow, and it can also shade the sun! The surface of this umbrella is painted with plum blossoms. This painting It's wisteria!"

Li Cai was taken aback, "Did you draw this umbrella?"

Tang Mi nodded, "My drawing skills are not good, so I can only make do with it!"

Li Cai: "..."

This is not good?
He really wanted to call his son, who only knew how to fight cocks and walk dogs, back to take a look. The paintings drawn by other girls were better than his prodigal son.

Li Cai runs a bookstore, and there are quite a few relatives and business partners in the county. He has seen the paintings of the old man in the Imperial Hospital, the landscape paintings worth thousands of gold, with his own eyes.Compared with those of adults, Tang Mi's paintings are indeed lacking in detail, but they have her unique aura, which is actually the girl's favorite.

The purple bamboo and wisteria flowers look like they are alive, and you can still smell the faint fragrance of the flowers when you lower your head.

For such an umbrella, Li Cai couldn't offer a price for a while.

Li Cai has always wanted to cooperate with Tang Mi for a long time, and he didn't want to take advantage of her at all. He was silent for a moment and said, "Girl, your umbrella is very good. I don't think it should be sent to the county to sell, but It should be sent to Yizhou."

Yizhou?

Tang Mi remembered that even if he traveled by water from the county to Yizhou, it would take three days at the fastest.

However, Pingxiang County is not a rich place in Yizhou. On the contrary, Yizhou has a canal and a large wharf, and there are many people coming and going there.

I heard that there were royal relatives who liked to be lively back then, and they would also visit Yizhou privately in micro-services.

"My wife has a relative who is doing business in Yizhou, and he also runs a bookstore!" Li Cai continued, "I'll send the umbrella over to sell it first, and when the time comes, you can share some of the fare and hard work with me! I'll give you two taels of silver first, and then make up for it after it's sold, do you think it's okay?"

Li Cai also knew that now that the Tang family opened a grocery store, there were many places where money was needed, so he said this.

Tang Mi thought for a while and agreed.

She was not in a hurry to use the money, and the three fans sold for six hundred wen, plus the two liang of silver that Li Cai gave, was quite a lot.

But for this umbrella, Tang Mi believes that the price must be more than one or two.

After all, things are rare and expensive, and things that no one has seen before are good things.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" After Tang Mi collected the money, he strolled around the bookstore again, bought some rice paper and oil-skinned paper, some cinnabar and brushes, and finally chose a few books.

It's just that the books of this dynasty are very expensive.

Fortunately, shopkeeper Li was really happy today, and he gave Tang Mi a little bit of a bargain.

But even so, five hundred texts are gone.

When he left the bookstore, Li Cai asked Tang Mi to hurry up and send more fans, saying that the sales in the county were very good. This time, these three fans were sent to Yizhou together with the umbrella.

Tang Mi nodded, and told Li Cai the seat of his grocery store, so that if Li Cai was in a hurry, he could go to the grocery store to find him.

Li Cai nodded his head when he heard the words, but he murmured in his heart that he knew about it a long time ago and went there a few times, but Tang Dashi and Tang Gu, two unreliable people, didn't tell Tang Mi at all.

.........

Because of the return of the lord from Shanghe Village, Pingxiang Town is much more lively than before, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

Tang Mi also learned from Tang Dashi that the surname of the elder in Shanghe Village was Gu Xiuyuan.

Gu Xiuyuan's father, Gu Dali, used to be a hunter in the mountains, he lived in the mountains and rarely came out.The only good friend with Gu Dali is a family named Zeng. The old people of the Zeng family have always been very kind to him, treating him like their own child.

It's a pity that the old man of Zeng's family has no children. When he was dying, he handed over everything in the family to Gu Dali.

For this reason, the distant relatives of the Zeng family had many conflicts with Gu Dali.Later, when there was a chaos at the border to recruit soldiers, Gu Dali went to the border, and every year he would bring back money to have someone repair the grave of the old man of the Zeng family.

It's just that no one thought that Gu Dali would marry the general's daughter in the end, and he had a daughter and a son.

The daughter's name is Gu Xiufeng, and the son's name is Gu Xiuyuan.

Now the person returning to Shanghe Village is Gu Xiuyuan.

It is said that he came back for Gu Dali to personally repair the grave of the old man of the Zeng family, because Gu Dali was still at the border and could not find time to come back.

For this Gu Xiuyuan, when outsiders mentioned him, they all praised him!

Tang Mi also thought it was good for Gu Xiuyuan to come back, after all, because of Gu Xiuyuan's return to Shanghe Village, the business of Tang's grocery store improved a lot, and even the roads in the town were rebuilt.

It is said that the county magistrate is already planning to have someone repair the road from the town to the village.

She is naturally happy that she doesn't have to walk on the dirt road.

"Third Sister, you are back!" After returning to the grocery store, Tang Gu hurried forward, "Someone has been waiting for you for a long time!"
