After a few days, he didn't go up the mountain, he didn't set up a stall, Zhang Tao worked diligently to make rouge, and Li Chengshou continued to do what he could.

For Li Chengshou, the more important thing at the moment is to recognize words.

Since discovering that Zhang Tao is literate, Li Chengshou asked her to teach herself to read, he learns very diligently every day, he used to want to study, but his family is too poor, there is no money for him, and now he will not let go of this opportunity.

This morning, Zhang Tao was checking the finished product of a new batch of rouge, and the gate in the yard rang.

"Who?"

"Is it Zhang Tao's house? Come buy rouge. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tao hurriedly came out and opened the door.

It was none other than Mama Zhang, who had bought a copy of every rouge at the Zhenshui temple fair.

"I said why did the magpie keep calling again when I got up this morning, and it was Mama that you came."

Zhang Tao hurriedly invited Mama Zhang into the courtyard, heard the sound of the gate closing, the door next door slowly opened, and Aunt Li quietly walked out of it. She happened to be feeding pigs in the yard, and when she heard someone shouting Zhang Tao, she stuck to the door and listened.

I didn't expect Zhang Tao's cub to make rouge, and someone came to buy it.

She said that the two cubs were mysterious and secretive, and it was impossible not to make a living. It seems that she entered the wrong house before, provoked the eyes of her neighbors in vain, and let her own man beat herself.

No, I have to see for myself, how capable these two cubs are, looked around, and found that there were still people walking around in the alley, and she couldn't go directly to the door of Zhang Tao's house to listen to the wind.

Aunt Li thought about it, retreated to her yard, and set up a ladder on the wall adjacent to her house and Zhang Tao's house. Half crouched on the ladder, listening to the sound coming from the yard next door.

"This kid is sweet-mouthed, and I'm not afraid that I'm here to trouble you?"

Mama Zhang is smiling, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, she doesn't know what's going on, she just likes Zhang Tao from the bottom of her heart, who doesn't like a smart child?

"Mama will tease me, if you really trouble me, I'm afraid I'm in the prison of Xunyang Mansion now, can I still bother Mama to come to me in person?"

Of course, Zhang Tao knew that Mama was laughing with her, if her own things really caused trouble, how could Mama Zhang smile at herself, it would be good not to kill herself.

"Where's your little friend?"

Mama Zhang remembered that the last time she set up a stall, it was two children, and she looked around for a long time and didn't see Li Chengshou come out, so she asked with concern.

"His name is Li Chengshou, and he went to the bookstore early in the morning to buy books."

It's not raining, they can't pick anything when they go into the mountains, the rouge gouache is not ready, and there is no temple fair market for them to set up stalls, so Li Chengshou raises earthworms, feeds chickens, reads and reads at home every day, and lives a very fulfilling life.

"These two children are really promising, and they are still studying, but what about your parents?"

The last time I saw them, there were only two children, and there was no adult around them, and there was no trace of the adults in the family now, Mama Zhang asked curiously.

"We were abducted children, and then we ran out and found some camp life on our own, which is too far away from our hometown and we can't find it, so we have to live like this day at a time."

These things are not secrets, the child who was abducted together at the beginning had Prince Yu's son Su Qiyang, it is impossible to hide it, it is better to be honest, maybe you can mix a good popularity.

"What two hard-working dolls, so pitiful."

Mama Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes as she spoke, Zhang Tao was speechless, the tears came too quickly, and she didn't feel anything about it.

"Mama, don't be like this, don't you think I'm living a good life now? It's something that makes you look at it. ”

Zhang Tao had to divert the topic, in fact, she also wanted to know what the reason for Mama Zhang's coming over this time was.

"Oh, you see, when you're older, you're forgetful, and you almost forget the most important things."

After Zhang Taoyi said, Mama Zhang exaggeratedly shook the handkerchief in her hand, and then said.

"Last time I bought the rouge from you, my young lady liked it very much, saying that it tasted pleasant, without those strong and pungent fat powder flavors, and next month was my young lady's gift, and I want to order a batch of rouge gouache with you as a return gift to the female relatives who came to watch the ceremony."

Hearing this, Zhang Tao was very excited in his heart, the good fortune of the big family must be people of the same class, once their products are circulated among them, it will be a silent publicity, and their business can be imagined.

"Who is our young lady?"

"Look at me, I forgot to introduce to you, our young lady is Pei Yu, the eldest daughter of the Pei family in Xunyang City, and our aunt is a noble concubine in the palace."

The corners of Mama Zhang's eyes are all showing off and proud.

The person who can send his daughter into the palace must not be an ordinary person, and he can still sit in the position of a noble concubine in the palace, and the Pei family can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, even if Zhang Tao is from modern times, he knows what it means.

"What do you want from our young lady?"

The customers have sent their business to the door, Zhang Tao is no longer good at entertaining, I am really sorry for the name of the first anchor on the whole network.

"Miss Rouge is very satisfied with the taste, that is, your box is too vulgar, but you don't have to worry about this, Ming'er I will ask our Pei family kiln factory to make a batch of new ones, you have to make the rouge fresh and refined, and it has to reflect the heritage of our Pei family."

Mama Zhang, the preference of her own young lady, has long been ripe, and she has kept it in mind, and it didn't take any effort to talk to Zhang Tao.

"How many boxes are we going to have, and I'll stock up on the materials."

No matter what era and where, the basic principles of doing business will not change, ask the requirements clearly before cooperation, you can avoid a lot of subsequent troubles, if you can sign a contract, of course, it is better, but according to Zhang Tao, people here seem to sign contracts, and there are fewer people who do contracts.

"Why do you have two hundred servings, three boxes of rouge in each serving, two boxes of mouth fat, it is best to make six flavors of rouge, so that each female family member has two gifts in return, each taste is different, and it seems that our young lady is attentive, right?"

Zhang Tao nodded, and Mama Zhang said that there was nothing wrong with it, but this was really a big project.

"A month, I can tell you, you have to complete it or not, it must be completed, delaying our young lady's gift and making our young lady lose face, you just don't have enough ten heads, you know?"

Seeing that Zhang Tao didn't squeak, Mama Zhang thought she was hesitating something, so she pointed her finger at Zhang Tao's head fiercely.

"It's rare that Miss can take a fancy to you, if you do a good job this time, your good days will come in the future."

The two children have no relatives and no reason in Xunyang City, it is not easy to survive on a foothold, but it would be different if there was the Pei family as a backer.

"It's done, but it's ......"

Zhang Tao didn't finish speaking, she lowered her head and showed that she was very embarrassed, in fact, she didn't have any embarrassment in her heart, this is the tactic of doing business, she doesn't understand the business rules here, so she can only restrain herself according to her own method.

"Oh, but what do you say, don't spit out, Mama, I'm annoyed to watch."

Mama Zhang has always been a cheerful person, but when she saw Zhang Tao's posture, she was irritable, and she was talking to her directly, which was easier than anything.

"I just calculated, one is three boxes of rouge, two boxes of lipstick, you need two hundred, that's six hundred boxes of rouge, four hundred boxes of lipstick, according to what Mama said, six boxes of rouge have different tastes, and four boxes of lipstick are also different, this cost is really a bit big."

Zhang Tao was very embarrassed, if she happily agreed to do business, maybe she would be ruthlessly lowered next time, and besides, the rouge made for Miss Pei and Lu Zhili this time must be of better quality than the last time at the temple fair, so the silver in her hand must be insufficient.

"Alas, it's a matter of money after making trouble for a long time, you can rest assured that our Pei family will not treat you badly, or you make a copy first, I'll take it back and show it to Miss, if Miss is satisfied, the price is up to you."

What are you kidding, is the Pei family a family with poor money? What we want is face, okay? Mama Zhang thought in her heart, mud legs just can't work, her vision is too low, and she can't see it long-term.

"Of course it's okay to make a copy first, but I have another condition."

Of course, the negotiation should be relaxed, just pretending to be poor and embarrassed, and now Zhang Tao has begun to play a simple and direct way again.

"What conditions, you say."

"If Miss takes a fancy to my rouge and wants me to do it, I want the Pei family to pay half of the deposit first."

"No problem."

After ordering the goods, the seller made it, it is normal to pay the deposit first, in case the buyer does not want it, the seller will not lose too badly, in the final analysis, it is a way to protect himself, this is the normal way to do business in Xunyang City, Mama Zhang also understands.

If Zhang Tao knew about this, I am afraid that he would despise the wave of operations he had just made, it was too roundabout.

Zhang Tao also had some of Miss Pei's preferences, as well as the precautions for the ceremony, and Mama Zhang told them all according to the truth, saving Zhang Tao a lot of trouble.

When she first arrived, she didn't know many of the rules of this dynasty, and Li Chengshou didn't know much, during this time they patronized to make money to solve the problem of food and clothing, and they didn't make any friends.

This also made Zhang Tao realize that only the two of them can rely on each other, but they can't just care about making money, and they need to know more people, which will help her better understand this era and integrate into this era.

After talking about the matter, Mama Zhang realized that she had been out for almost an hour, so she quickly got up to say goodbye and hurried back to Pei's mansion to resume her life.

"Mama wait a while, wait for me for a while," said Zhang Tao turned around and entered the next room, this is her production room, the room where rouge is made, she took out two boxes of rouge from the shelf and walked out, handing them to Mama Zhang, "I specially made two boxes of rouge for you last time I came back, and I don't know where you are, so I have to leave it like this, I look forward to you coming over early every day to give it to you." ”
