"There are probably more than 200 tickets here. Do you want them all?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"Yes, I want them all!" Guangdan said as he was about to estimate how many sheets of paper there were, but it was obvious that he didn't have the eyesight to do so.

"Two hundred, no more, no less." Seeing his worried look, the shopkeeper continued talking.

"Yeah, there's still ink. We also need ink sticks." When talking about ink sticks, Guangdan's tone began to become unconfident.

After all, top-quality famous ink is worth thousands of coins!

Finally, he spent one string of money to buy paper and ink. After these transactions were completed, Guangdan signaled his eldest brother to take out several brushes that he had prepared.

Gouwei handed over the brush he made a little embarrassedly, blushing and whispering:

"Please take a look at this. I made it myself. I want to ask if you would accept it?"

After saying this, the two brothers looked at the shopkeeper expectantly.

The shopkeeper became interested when he heard this, and even the young scholar who was holding a book to pay came over.

"You made it yourself, good job!" The young scholar took one directly from the shopkeeper.

"This is suitable for little kids to trace big characters." The shopkeeper also looked at the brush carefully and happily.

After a moment, the shopkeeper said with some regret: "My bookstore is mostly populated by scholars. Although I sell children's things, I don't sell many. How about your prices?"

When Gouwei heard this, he still felt a little hopeful!

He immediately responded, "I sell them at the stall for 20 cents each, and I'll give them to you for 15 cents each. How many do you need? I'll deliver them to you one month from now!"

When Gouwei mentioned the price, the young scholar next to him brightened up his eyes and then started to laugh softly.

"Little brother, the price is 15 cents. How about you bring me ten by this time next month?"

After hearing this, Gouwei glanced at the shopkeeper and nodded quickly.

"Okay, okay, then sir, give me the address and I'll deliver it directly when I get there!"

The young scholar gave the address, paid the bill with the shopkeeper and left.

At this time, the shopkeeper started laughing and said, "You are lucky. This guy happens to be running a private school for young children! How about this, at this price, bring me 50 directly when the time comes."

"Really? Sure!"

“We will definitely guarantee the quality!”

The two brothers were very happy at this moment, a total of sixty brushes, this is a big order!!!

The shopkeeper also thought it was a good deal. The pens, ink, paper and inkstones in their store were basically all from the south. Not only were they expensive, but the quality could not be guaranteed over long distances.

If you buy such a brush from the capital yourself, the cost price is no less than eighteen cents, and here it is delivered to your door for only fifteen cents. How perfect!

Both parties feel that they have made a profit!

But the dogtail wooden box was filled with paper and ink, and it suddenly became heavy.

After leaving Donglai Bookstore, the two brothers walked directly to Lin Daniu's stall in the west.

But Guangdan gradually realized that there was someone following him not far away, and the person looked more like a beggar from the looks of his clothes.

Why would he notice that?

Because people on East Street were generally well-dressed, this man's tattered clothes made him stand out in the crowd.

"Hurry up!" Guangdan became alert instantly and started running by grabbing Gouwei's arm.

At this time, Xiaowu looked at the two brothers who started running in front of him and grinned with a greedy smile.

"Run! Even if you run today, you must leave your skin behind!"

Gouwei thought Guangdan was eager to see how his father's business was doing, so he didn't ask any questions and just ran after him.

Guangdan didn't dare to tell his eldest brother that someone was following them at this time, otherwise his eldest brother would be so scared that he wouldn't know what to do.

When the two of them arrived at Lin Daniu's stall, they saw that the small street was bustling with people.

"Dad, how are sales?" Guangdan came over and asked with a smile.

Seeing that all the orchids were gone, Lin Daniu smiled and said, "Not bad, half of them have been sold."

Lin Xiaoniu even pulled the dog's tail and started muttering to himself, but his eyes kept getting bigger and bigger, and then he looked at Guangdan in astonishment.

Guangdan curled the corner of his mouth, then leaned over to Lin Daniu's ear and told him about selling orchids and being followed.

Lin Daniu was feeling both sad and happy at this moment, as both of these things were something he had never encountered before!

"Dad, be natural. Someone might be watching us!" Guangdan gave him a warning and then squatted beside his uncle.

However, when Lin Xiaoniu heard that someone was following him, his reaction was completely different from Lin Daniu's.

He looked around viciously, then gnashed his teeth and said, "If you dare to touch my money, I'll chop my bones into pieces and feed them to the dogs! I'm afraid you don't want to live anymore!"

Then he glanced at Lin Daniu who was beginning to get worried, grinned and said, "Brother, me, you, and the dog's tail, what do the three of us have to fear? I encountered a lot of such things when I was a peddler! As long as we are ruthless enough, those bastards will be afraid of death."

Guangdan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that his uncle was indeed the man he valued!

"Okay, let's sell the goods. After we're done, let's go buy some things to take back. I bought paper and ink for Goudan and the others, and my brother has also agreed with the bookstore to send fifty brushes over next month!"

The news about Guangdan once again made the Lin Daniu brothers very happy.

After all, when it comes to orchids, it basically depends on luck, but it’s different with brushes, it’s a safe business!

The two were happy and continued to shout and sell goods. Guangdan felt that he was also bored, so he just continued to walk around. From a distance, he saw the man who was following them squatting on the side of the road.

I curled my lips and thought that this person was probably not very smart. Isn't this a bit too obvious? Doesn't it require someone else to follow him?

Then I thought, maybe others have underestimated the Lin family!

Thinking of this, I spent another dozen cents. Just like that, I walked on the street, wanting to spend money every minute. I really wanted to shop!

Lin Daniu's goods were sold out around noon. After packing up, Guangdan directly suggested:

"Dad, let's go eat meat buns! It's the Dragon Boat Festival this year!"

Lin Daniu thought about what he had gained today and simply nodded in agreement.

Of course Guangdan wanted to go out to eat, but he was reluctant to spend his own money now!

He has a lot of use for this money! He can't just spend it on eating and drinking!

At the same time, Lin Daniu and his companions also saw the man who had been following them. They looked at each other tacitly, and then walked towards the steamed bun shop at the intersection as if nothing had happened.

Guangdan didn't know that at this moment Lin Daniu was thinking about going to the iron shop to buy a kitchen knife.
