Agriculturist businesswoman reborn in the countryside

Chapter 11 Two Copper Plates and One Bowl

Wang Qing put Tang Mai and others on the street Tang Mai mentioned, unloaded the two large buckets of sweet potato porridge from the car, said goodbye, and left.

When Tang Mai and others arrived here, there were already a lot of people hawking on the street, and the pedestrians coming and going were like flowing water.

Tang Mai lifted a corner of the barrel, and suddenly a scent wafted out of the barrel. Tang Mai cleared his throat, and yelled loudly, "Sweet potato porridge, delicious sweet potato porridge!"

Tang Mi was taken aback by Tang Mai's sudden cry, blushed and grabbed Tang Mai's sleeve, and whispered, "Mai'er..."

Tang Mai turned around suspiciously, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"No……"

Tang Mai looked at Tang Ke again, and found that her brother's immovable face also had a suspicious crimson color. Are all children nowadays so shy?
"Sister, if we sell it, we will have money." Tang Mai looked at Tang Mi and said with a smile, and stretched out his hand to hold Tang Mi's hand, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Now, she only has the ability to sell on the street. In the past, she must have talked directly to the shopkeepers of inns and restaurants.

"Sell...sell...sweet potatoes..." Tang Mi looked at the hand that Tang Mai was holding her, and mustered up her courage. As the eldest child in the family, she naturally had to take care of her younger siblings, no matter how embarrassed she was, she followed along. cried out.

"Selling sweet potato porridge!" Before Tang Mi could finish shouting, Tang Ke's voice came from her side.

Tang Mai laughed when he heard the voice. Her brother's awkward appearance of pretending to be calm is really cute.

In the whole bazaar, all the people who come to hawk are grown-ups, only the Tangmai stall is occupied by three children. No matter what they sell, it will arouse everyone's curiosity. There are quite a few people who are curious, but no one spends money to buy it.

Tang Mai looked around in the crowd, and landed on a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman who was walking by her side. He stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, "Uncle, let's buy a bowl of porridge, it's very late." It's delicious."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man was rushing to the inn to discuss business, but now he was stopped by someone, and when he looked down, he was actually a thin little girl. Although she looked malnourished, she looked very clean, especially It was those smiling eyes.

"Then let's have a bowl." The middle-aged man glanced at the place Tang Mai said, and saw the other two thin children, and felt sympathy for a moment.

"Uncle, two copper coins for a bowl." Tang Mai filled a full bowl and handed it to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man took the bowl and found that the porridge was still hot. Such a big bowl of two copper coins is not expensive. .

After taking a sip, I felt that the taste was good, and my stomach warmed up.

"Little girl, your porridge tastes really good, but I've never seen what you put in it." The middle-aged man asked Tang Mai after finishing his drink, handing over two copper coins.

"Uncle, the stuff here is called sweet potato, also called sweet potato." Tang Mai accepted the money with a smile, and got two copper coins.

"Well, good, good, give me another bowl."

"it is good!"

The people around saw that someone wanted to have another bowl after drinking, and the quantity of the thing seemed to be large, and the price was also affordable, so a second person asked for another bowl soon.

Seeing that Tang Mai was busy, Tang Mi took the initiative to serve a bowl for what he wanted to buy. The man also found it delicious, very sweet and mellow after drinking it. Although he was full, he also asked for another bowl.

Tang Mai brought a total of ten bowls, which were all she could find at home. She knew that there was no water to wash the dishes here, so before she came, she specially prepared a bucket of water to wash the dishes. Wash the bowls, put them upside down in a basket, and cover them with a cloth.

Those who came to buy sweet potato porridge saw that Tang Mai washed the bowls clean and put them aside, and felt comfortable after seeing them. They couldn’t help but buy two bowls of two bowls, and some asked to take them away, but unfortunately they didn’t take them away. I heard that some of them lived in the town and didn't make breakfast, but they brought their own bowls to buy. This kind of popularity was something Tang Mai had never thought of before.

The two large barrels of sweet potato porridge were sold out in just half an hour, and there were still many people who wanted to buy, but they couldn't get them, so they had to leave regretfully.

After they were all sold out, the three children could finally rest for a while. Tang Mai counted the money on his body, 210 Wen, that is to say, they sold a total of [-] bowls.

A catty of rice costs thirty Wen, and you can buy seven catties of rice here.

"Mai'er, a lot of money..." Tang Mi looked at the money in Tang Mai's arms, and surrounded Tang Mai nervously.

"Yes, a lot of money. In the future, we will have more money." Tang Mai smiled and took Tang Mi's hand, "Give her ten copper coins, big sister, this is yours."

"Mai'er, this..."

"Brother, this is yours." Tang Mai walked up to Tang Ke again, and gave him ten copper coins, which was hard work.

With the rest of the money, she will buy two catties of rice, return one catty to Aunt Wang, and keep one catty at home to cook a delicious meal. There are 130 cash left over, and a hundred cash will be saved for emergencies. Thirty Wen to buy some meat, to supplement some nutrition for the family.

"Uncle, we want to buy two catties of rice." Shopkeeper Fang was doing the calculations, when he heard the voice, he was surprised to see that it was Tang Mai, and even more surprised to see Tang Mi and Tang Ke beside Tang Mai.

"Hey, isn't this the girl from the Tang family from yesterday?"

"That's right, Uncle, we worked so hard to earn money, you should give us a little bit cheaper." Tang Mai showed a cute smile, blinking at Shopkeeper Fang.

No one can resist the cuteness of a cute child, especially Tang Mai, who is so aggressive, he doesn't think there is anything wrong at all, and he deliberately acts cute.

The children of the poor are in charge early.

Shopkeeper Fang’s family conditions were not good when he was a child. Although he was surprised that Tang Mai was too sensible, he just lamented that Tang Yuanshan’s family was not easy. Tang Maiduo caught two more.

"Thank you Uncle." Tang Mai smiled sweetly, "Uncle, do you know where there is a meat seller? My sister has never eaten meat, I want to buy it for her."

"You are really sensible, my kid. I want half of you." Shopkeeper Fang said, pointing to the northeast direction, "Go from here, two streets away, there is a Pork Chen, you tell him , I introduced you to go, and he will give you a cheap one."

"Okay, thank you uncle, let's go then."

Shopkeeper Fang packed two catties of rice into three bags, Tang Mi took one catty, Tang Mai and Tang Ke each took half a catty, and left the rice shop for a butcher shop.

He talked to the butcher seller about shopkeeper Fang's words, and made a lot of flattery. The happy pork Chen Erwen sold half a catty of Tang Mai's meat, praising Tang Mai for being sensible.
