"Little girl, how do you sell this bamboo mat?" The eldest lady was finally moved to buy a bamboo mat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Yang Yun pretended to be full of cowardice and said: "Auntie, you are the first person to know the goods, the little woman has not sold one today, and she doesn't know if she can sell it for money, so she hasn't set the price yet. ā€

"In this way, the bamboo mat is made light, and the round one is more beautiful, so I will set four cents each, and thirty of them first. How many are there? Yang Yun listened to it, and her heart blossomed, and there happened to be forty enough in the circle.

"Auntie, you are really refreshing, give you a cheap penny, sell you for three pennies, and take it as a thank you for this Bole."

"Okay, you're a good little girl, you can do things."

"Thirty bamboo mats are a total of ninety wen, do you see it right?"

"Yes, the little girl can count and can read."

"The little girl is illiterate, and she helps her grandfather weave bamboo mats and count bamboo slices on weekdays, so she learns to count a little." Yang Yun pretended to be shy.

"The little girl is honest."

The eldest lady received the things and paid the money and was about to leave, Yang Yun hurriedly took six more square bamboo mats and gave them to the eldest lady and said: "Auntie, in addition to the round bamboo mats, there are also square ones, and these will be given to you for use at home." If you want to think it's easy to use, you can come here to buy it from us next time, the little woman's family is from Zhoujia Village, surnamed Yang, and our family is surnamed Yang in the village, and the little woman's grandfather will come here to sell bamboo mats, or you can go to the Zhou's grocery store in the town, let them give a letter, and the little woman's family will help you send it. ā€

"Okay, if it's useful, I'll buy it from you next time."

"Thank you, auntie, you go slowly."

The eldest lady took the bamboo mat and walked away satisfied, and when she arrived at a place where there were few people, the little girl who followed her asked her: "Mother, why do you buy so many bamboo mats, and you can't use so many at home." ā€

"You little girl don't understand, last time I heard the young grandmother say that the young master's restaurant is going to replace a batch of new tables, the original batch of tables are all old and damaged, because the desktop is often hot dishes, hot dishes are hot so that the desktop is painted, I have to change, otherwise it will affect the elegance. If you have these bamboo mats to pad the tabletop, you don't have to change the table, and you can save a lot of money for the young master, a good wood table can buy hundreds of bamboo mats, and the young master is a person who loves bamboo, and he will definitely like these bamboo mats. I remember going back and asking about the price of bamboo mats, and said that it cost five cents a piece. ā€

"Mother, Er Ya understands, you have made a great contribution in front of the young grandmother and the young master, and you can make some money, hehe."

"You dead girl, be quiet, remember to be strict when you go back, don't say that you leaked your mouth, let the young grandmother find out that we lied to her, and the young grandmother will definitely not spare the mother and daughter." The eldest lady poked the little girl's head with her index finger and cautiously explained.

"Mother, Erya knows that she is powerful, and she will not talk nonsense." The mother and daughter walked in the direction of the Li Mansion.

Today in the market for a day, grandpa brought 20 bamboo mats all sold out, now the farming is busy, there are two bamboo mats in the market, so the business is better than ever. In the past, it would be good to be able to sell ten mats a day, but it was still ten cents a piece. The bamboo mat sold the lady thirty round ones, plus gave her six squares, and there were ten round ones left, and there were four squares.

Grandpa is going to close the stall and go home, the time is about four o'clock in the afternoon, grandpa will go to the grocery store to buy some oil, salt and rice grains before going home, the family has run out. Salt is very expensive to 40 Wen a catty, grandpa sold bamboo mats for a total of 240 Wen, bought half a catty of salt, a catty of oil, oil difference and so on for 20 Wen, a total of 40 Wen, the remaining 200 Wen Grandpa bought five catties of black noodles, fifteen catties of brown rice, are ten wen a catty, the output of grain in this era is too low, so the price is very high.

Grandpa bought a lot of things, the shopkeeper gave a cheap two pennies, these two pennies are still good to say a bunch of things before they were reduced, while grandpa went to load things, Yang Yun walked around the grocery store, and found that in addition to cloth, ironware is not, this grocery store is very complete with other things, even seeds are sold. After shopping around the store, I walked to the side of the shopkeeper and asked the shopkeeper surnamed Chen.

Grandpa finished loading things and went to the counter to settle the bill, walked to grandpa, took a few bamboo mats from the basket he was carrying behind his back, put them on the counter, and said to the shopkeeper:

"Uncle shopkeeper, can you see if this thing is sold in your store?"

Shopkeeper Chen picked it up and looked at it for a while and said, "This is the first time I've seen this thing, this thing should be a mat, but I don't know what it's used for." "When I visited this store just now, I found that there was no such thing as this mat for sale, so I dared to take it out and ask the shopkeeper.

"This bamboo mat is made by the youngest daughter's grandfather, which can be used to pad a hot plate or a hot pot, this mat is delicate and beautiful, and it can prevent the desktop from being burned and the paint is peeled off when placed on the desktop.

"It looks good, I don't know how much the little girl will sell it for." Although Shopkeeper Chen asked Yang Yun about the price of bamboo mats, his eyes were looking at his grandfather, after all, there were adults following, and no one would believe that a child could make the decision to talk about business. Grandpa smiled at Shopkeeper Chen, and didn't mean to open his mouth at all.

"Uncle shopkeeper, how about a penny."

"Ah, this bamboo mat is too expensive for five cents a piece, and it looks simple, you will do it if you look closely."

"Uncle shopkeeper, I believe you have just seen this thing for the first time, if it weren't for the little woman who took out this bamboo mat today, you never thought of using bamboo to weave this kind of mat for sale, you have seen more than our peasant family, it is the first time to see this thing, not to mention other people. This bamboo mat is indeed easy to make, but in this busy farming season, not to mention whether others have time to do it, if the little woman's family does not use the bamboo mat to sell, others will not think of making it. Uncle shopkeeper, think about how many restaurants there are in this town. ā€

"Haha, the little girl is too good at talking, this truth is really a set, good things are to be sold first, but five cents is really expensive, how about a bamboo mat three cents, this bamboo mat looks too simple, and many people will do it in less than a month."

"Uncle shopkeeper, this bamboo mat seems simple, but it is not easy to do, you see that this small bamboo piece is more laborious to sharpen, even if the little woman's grandfather is skilled, it is very slow to do. Our peasant family will earn a few hard-earned money, and listen to you for three pennies a piece. Yang Yun's tone of embarrassment pretended to be betrayed, like a painful expression on her face that she had lost thousands of taels of silver.

"Haha, okay, just listen to the little girl." Shopkeeper Chen looked at Yang Yun's painful expression and smiled so hard that his beard curled up, and his old face was instantly full of chrysanthemum, and his shrewd eyes looked at Yang Yun as if he saw a golden pig. Yang Yun was so shocked that her liver trembled. Chen's shopkeeper opened three pennies, one is Yang Yun's lowest bottom line, if it is lower than three pennies, grandpa might as well weave bamboo mats and sell them.

"Uncle shopkeeper, we are also honest in doing business, you just expected that there will be a lot of people learning to make this bamboo mat as soon as it appears, so the little woman asked the shopkeeper uncle this month's bamboo mat can only be ordered with the little woman's family, and the shopkeeper uncle will order with whom to order after a month up to you decide. Because it was the little woman's grandfather who first invented the craft of this bamboo mat, she should enjoy this priority of sale. ā€

"The little girl's request is also reasonable, and the bamboo mats have been ordered from your house this month." Yang Yun probably understood what Shopkeeper Chen meant.

"Uncle shopkeeper, can you write a certificate or contract to the little woman?"

"The little girl also knows how to make a covenant." Shopkeeper Chen's tone was very surprised.

"It's all about storytellers." Just make up an excuse. Grandpa has not spoken since Yang Yun opened his mouth to introduce the bamboo mat to Shopkeeper Chen, guessing that Grandpa acquiesced to Yang Yun and Shopkeeper Chen's business, even if Grandpa was suspicious of my behavior today, it is estimated that he would not say anything, Grandpa knew in his heart that this family was so poor that no matter how good it was, it would be better than starving to death as a family.
