Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

A middle-aged man in dark blue clothes was sitting there eating, and his bowl of plain noodles was almost finished.

Jiang Ci sat down next to him.

The middle-aged man took a few sips of noodle soup, put down the bowl, and glanced sideways at the young man sitting next to him.

Jiang Ci put on a standard smile and lifted the small basket on the bench next to him onto the table.

He took out the toothbrush from inside and said, "You are here to transport goods to Yong'an Town, right? How about this?"

The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Ci, took the toothbrush handed to him by Jiang Ci and looked at it carefully.

Jiang Ci didn't sense any malice or prejudice in his gaze.

Jiang Ci pushed the basket towards him.

"These are all. This thing is called a toothbrush. It is used to brush teeth. It can replace willow branches or other branches to brush teeth. One can be used for three months without breaking. It is easy to use and it is unique."

The middle-aged man held the toothbrush and smiled.

"Just now I saw you standing over there looking at the dock. You are here to sell goods."

Jiang Ci didn't expect that he would notice her.

"I wonder what your last name is?"

"No need to worry about your surname being Li, Li Qing, you can just call me Uncle Li."

"Hello Uncle Li, my name is Jiang Ci."

"Little brother Jiang."

He continued, "This toothbrush is really good. I haven't seen it anywhere else. I wonder how much you sell it for."

"Five cents a stick on the street."

The middle-aged man was a little surprised. He didn't expect such a good thing to be sold so cheaply.

"How many of these toothbrushes do you have?"

"More than a thousand were brought to the streets today, and three to four thousand were made at home today alone."

"Well, this is what happened. The goods I'm transporting are all for Hefenglou. Hefenglou has offices in Yongzhou and several counties below it. I'm very interested in your toothbrush, but I can't make the decision."

When Jiang Ci heard these words, his heart sank, but he did not give up.

What Jiang Ci didn't know was that these traveling merchants transported things for fixed employers, and when they had enough things and there was still space left, they would transport some things themselves and sell them in other places.

"Uncle Li can take some back first. If the boss there is interested, that would be great. If not, Uncle Li can sell it and not lose money."

Li Qing laughed heartily, "Haha, you are really good at giving advice."

Hearing Li Qing's hearty laughter, Jiang Ci felt that the chances of this deal being successful were even greater.

"My ship is leaving tomorrow afternoon. I want to get 3000 toothbrushes from you. Do you think it's possible?"

Jiang Ci was so excited, "Yes! Yes!"

Finally they agreed on three coins and five sticks.

"Then Uncle Li, see you tomorrow. I'll deliver the stuff on time."

Jiang Ci walked back with a much lighter pace.

Jiang Ci thought that he had not made a mistake in choosing the right person, as could be seen from his conversation with Li Qing.

Li Qing is a person who has no prejudice against people, which can be seen from the very beginning of their conversation; he has a cheerful personality and sharp intuition. After seeing the toothbrush, he made a decision immediately.

After turning a corner, I saw his stall, and there were quite a few people in front of it.

Jiang Ci walked over to help.

Ye Wan: "Brother Ci is back, how is he?"

"It's done."

Ye Wan smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on the corners of her eyes. "Oh my! Our Brother Ci is really amazing."

The sun slowly moved overhead, and by noon, there were only a few people on the street.

Some stalls were closing up, and some stall owners were eating the dry food they brought with them, or the food they bought on the street in front.

Jiang Ci looked back to see how the toothbrush sales were doing and found that they were almost sold out.

Jiang Ci was a little surprised, "How come you bought it so quickly?"

Ye Wan: "Just now a young man came. From the way he was dressed, you could tell that his family was very wealthy. He asked for 300 toothbrushes at once."

"So many, what did he buy so much for? Is that true?"

"I've asked this, don't worry, brother Ci." Ye Wan assured Jiang Ci.

"He bought them as rewards and gave them to his servants and the guys in his shop. The silver shop and the pawnshop in our town are all his. He also has shops in other places."

"That's great."

His family is so rich that they don’t even look down on his small toothbrush.

Lin Shan: "Then I'll go drive the ox cart."

They loaded the things onto the ox cart and bought two pancakes at the street corner, taking half each to fill their stomachs.

I'm home now and I can smell the fragrance coming from home.

Lin Jingxuan snorted hard, "What delicious food did Third Brother make when he's home? It smells so good!"

When I entered the yard, I saw Lin Jingsheng and Lin Jingan still in the kitchen.

Lin Jingxuan jumped out of the car and ran over, "What delicious food are you making?"

Both the person who was making the fire and the one who was cooking were a little surprised.

Lin Jingan: "Why are you back? So many toothbrushes were sold out in the morning."

Lin Jingxuan: "We've sold them all, but we still have some! Brother Ci and the merchant have agreed to deliver 3,000 toothbrushes tomorrow, and we'll be back."

Lin Jing'an looked at the food in the pot. It was not enough for two people.

Lin Jing'an ordered Lin Jingxuan, "Xuanxuan, go to the vegetable garden in the back and dig up some water spinach. There's not enough food in the pot."

"it is good."

The dish in the pot was fried eggs with vegetables. Only a little shadow of the egg could be seen, so only one egg should have been put in.

The atmosphere is always good during meals these days. Ever since they started making money, everyone in the family has been in high spirits for the whole day. It's just that it's rare for the family to sit down together during meals.

Ye Wan: "Our toothbrushes are getting better and better. It's even more convenient to sell them to the merchants who come and go."

Jiang Ci: "Wait until tomorrow and ask them how often they come. It would be great if we can have a long-term cooperation."

Lin Jingsheng: "There are too many people making toothbrushes, and we can't keep up with the wool we boil at home."

Lin Jingan: "Yes, we can't supply it anymore, and there's not enough firewood."

Lin Shan: "Then it seems we should find someone."

Ye Wan: "We have to find a clean family."

We finished the meal while chatting and laughing.

Lin Jingsheng lay on the bed and watched Jiang Ci hesitate to go to bed. After some hesitation, he called Jiang Ci, "A Ci."

"Well, what happened?"

"Come up and take a nap."

"You go to sleep first, I'm not sleepy."

"I've seen you yawn several times."

Jiang Ci, who was sitting in front of the desk, stiffened his body, his back to Lin Jingsheng, his face full of vivid expression.

"Come here."

Jiang Ci put down the brush and walked over.

Jiang Ci felt that Lin Jingsheng's eyes were bright, and Jiang Ci turned away, "It must be an illusion."

Lin Jingsheng patted the seat next to him and motioned Jiang Ci to come up.

Jiang Ci didn't go to bed because she was afraid of embarrassment, but once she lay down on the bed, she fell asleep in a short while and didn't even bother to feel embarrassed anymore.

In the afternoon, Lin Shan and Ye Wan harnessed the ox cart, and Lin Jing'an and Lin Jingxuan were also standing in the yard.

Lin Jingxuan: "Brother Ci, do you want to go to your uncle's house together?"

While waiting for Jiang Ci's answer, he looked at Lin Jingsheng who was sitting in a wheelchair next to Jiang Ci, and the expectation on his face turned into hesitation.

"If Brother Ci leaves, my eldest brother will be the only one left at home."
