Wang Jinyi, who was walking in front, felt a drumbeat in her heart at this time. Her steps became faster and faster, and her eyes swept over every shop on the commercial street. A shop with five doors and a plaque with "Chen's Bamboo and Wood" attracted her attention.

The store is five rooms wide, and all the door panels are open, so the layout of the store is visible at a glance. Wooden items are classified according to their functions and placed along the wall, and bamboo items are piled on the piles at the entrances, making it very convenient to select by category.

Wang Jinyi walked through the crowd, stepped over the threshold, and asked the shopkeeper:

"Excuse me, does your shop have bamboo mats or bamboo curtains?"

The shopkeeper looked at the group in front of him in surprise. There was a servant in front, two people who looked like managers behind, and a nervous driver beside them. He looked at them for a while before answering:

"Yes, I do, but I wonder how much you want? What's it for?"

At this time, Manager Shen stepped forward to block Wang Jinyi with a businessman's demeanor.

"Of course I have to see the goods first to confirm. Is it in stock?"

The owner of Chenji hesitated for only a moment before a businesslike smile appeared on his face again.

Shopkeeper Chen looked at the group of people in front of him - the leading servant had his hat pulled down low, his features couldn't be seen clearly, but he exuded an unusual calmness;

The two stewards behind him were well-dressed, but they were extremely respectful to the young man dressed as a servant in front of them. The man who looked like a coachman, with his hands on his waist, followed the servant closely with great vigilance.

"Hmm-" It's really interesting!

He smiled warmly and bowed, "Of course we have it in stock! Please come this way, sir."

Our Chenji bamboo mats come in two grades, and sizes can be customized."

As he said this, he led Wang Jinyi to a pile against the wall, picked up two rolls of bamboo mats and unfolded them, pointing at the mats.

"This is top-quality bamboo. Look at the even grain, it looks like it was measured with a ruler!"

Manager Shen stepped aside and Wang Jinyi pointed at the mat and asked:

"Chen's bamboo mats have their own unique markings, right? How is it different from those made by other small workshops out there?"

When Shopkeeper Chen heard this, he knew that "it was the buyer who was being picky", so he immediately pulled a mat nearby and pointed at the corner of the mat and handed it to Manager Shen.

"Chen's bamboo weaving secrets—did you see them?"

He handed the bamboo mat to Shen Guanshi, who then presented it to Wang Jinyi. Zhao Chunming also leaned forward to look.

"Chen Ji's bamboo weaving has the word 'Chen' woven into it using negative lines at the intersections. This is both to distinguish it and to show my confidence in my own products. I hope you buy it and keep it for its durability!"

Wang Jinyi's eyes fell on the mark of the word Chen, recalling what he had seen and comparing it. No! The mat held by the waiter was not Chinese characters. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was pinyin.

She spread out a roll of bamboo mat and searched carefully around it, looking at it front and back, and then looked at it in the sunlight for a long time.

Chen Ji's bamboo strips are shining through with fine light, and you can see clearly that it is just a bamboo mat without rattan inside. The markings are rarely woven with the two words "Chen Ji", but mostly hot-stamped.

It's totally not the Chenji bamboo mat I just saw! No!

Shopkeeper Chen was still chattering on and on about his introductions, while the young man dressed as a waiter was standing there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

No one behind Yuyao responded to the shopkeeper, and they all waited for the young man's reaction. The shopkeeper immediately understood.

The shopkeeper Chenji made up his mind.

"Sir, Chen's has been established for a century with the 'Chen' brand. You can rest assured when purchasing from us. If you have any special requirements for the goods, please let us know. We will discuss this later..."
