Chang Shuang passed by him and saw that his backpack was heavy, and there was more than one thing in it, so heavy that the cloth bag was exposed, and she looked at the silhouette and guessed what the man was here for.

Chang Shuang couldn't help but stop, "Big brother, isn't your bag an inkstone?" ”

The man was a little surprised: "How does the girl know?" ”

Chang Shuang's eyes suddenly dyed with joy, "Guess." You're here to do business, so why don't you go into the store and sell it? ”

"I ...... Gollum......" The man was about to speak, but his stomach rumbled, and the man bowed his head in embarrassment, a little embarrassed.

Chang Shuang smiled, simply took out the bun and gave it to him, and gave him one, "You can eat it." ”

The man's eyes lit up as he looked at the bun, "It's minced meat, this, it's not suitable......"

The bun was already cold, and he could still smell the meat filling, Chang Shuang smiled and pointed to the street, "There's a teahouse there, go and take a break, I'm also thirsty." ”

Chang Shuang used meat buns and tea to pull the man to speak.

Chang Shuang spent a penny to get a big bowl of tea from the boss, and this big bowl of tea is ordinary tea here, and it is all in a big bowl.

The man drank tea to quench his thirst, ate meat buns to fill his stomach, and didn't wait for Chang Shuang to ask any more questions, he told the story himself.

The man's name is Liang Shengming, and he lives next door in Anhe County, next door. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the country stabilized, and the imperial court recruited and cultivated talents everywhere, so in recent years, the stationery industry has flourished, and many places have produced pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Anhe County also followed suit, so there were more people carving and grinding inkstones.

Liang Sheng's famous family was originally a carpenter, and he was also handy at carving inkstones, and half a month ago, his family launched a hard-to-make inkstone to sell, but no bookstore was willing to accept it.

"Alas, it is not good to say that the material of my house is not good, the handiwork is not good, the style is not good, this is not good, it is not good. Dad said that it doesn't have to be one place to sell, and told me to go to other places to see.

I came out with things, and no one was willing to accept them after walking through several counties, saying that there was a fixed source of goods, and they did not accept unknown merchants, and they couldn't say that my family's goods were good.

I went to many places and sold it, and it was inevitable that I would be exhausted, and when I came to this small Anshou County today, I found that I had exhausted my entanglement. When I asked someone to come to the Jade Ming Pavilion, I was worried that the people inside would also reject me, so I was too timid to offend for a while, and I met the little girl at the door. Thank you girl for giving you a sip of tea and rice, she is very grateful. ”

Chang Shuang understands that this guy just can't sell the goods.

"Did you fall on your own?"

"Yes."

"Show me your inkstone." Chang Shuang can only make an opinion when he sees the goods.

"Girl, look." Liang Shengming simply showed the goods to Chang Shuang.

This inkstone is ordinary, the material is ordinary, the style is ordinary, the handwork is not bad, the polishing is smooth, and the hands are not cut.

Chang Shuang wanted to pick it up and take a look, but her eyes widened, "This thing is really heavy, how did you carry so much, how many did you carry?" ”

"Thirty."

"Why don't you use a cart to push it?"

"The car daddy used it, and I carried it on my back."

Chang Shuang shook her head, admiring and admiring, she asked another question, "How much does your side sell?" ”

"Sell 50 wen alone, and sell 40 wen for one side in whole batch."

Chang Shuang frowned, "You're selling cheaply." ”

Liang Shengming sighed: "There's no way, no one wants it even if it's cheap." Little girl, do you have a brother at home? I'll give you one. ”

"I don't have brothers, only sisters."

"That's a pity."

Chang Shuang glared at him unhappily, but she didn't blame him for this thought.

Even if the imperial court lacks talents, it will not popularize education, and ordinary children, even sons, may not be able to study, let alone girls.
