Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Making money

"How long will it take to make fifty toothbrushes like this?"

Li Muyu directly ignored the arrogance of his major patron and replied with a smile: "About three days!"

"Okay! Just three days." The middle-aged man took out another 10-tael silver note and handed it to Li Muyu: "At this time in three days, fifty toothbrushes will be delivered to Peng Mansion... I don't know you, but I

Meet Widow Zhang.”

Without waiting for Li Muyu to answer, or even looking at the person who asked the question before, he held his head high and left.

The young man who asked the question before heard about Peng Mansion and immediately shut up: As the richest man in the county and the president of the Chamber of Commerce, ordinary people really can't afford to offend him.

Seeing Li Muyu closing up the stall and leaving, the young man quickly bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Little brother Tian Yumin, I have met my brother. I wonder what your surname is?"

"My surname is Li and my given name is Mu Yu! Brother, what is this?"

"I hit it off with Brother Li, and I would like to treat Xian Kangli to a drink. I wonder if Brother Li would be willing to give me a favor?"

This is about talking about the toothbrush business! Li Muyu was so happy that he did not explain his relationship with Zhang Ruomei.

"How can I be embarrassed to ask Brother Tian to spend money?"

"Brother Li agreed, that's great, please come quickly!"

After saying this, he pulled Li Muyu and left as if others were trying to rob him.

Zhang Ruomei took the opportunity to secretly give Li Muyu a ten-tael silver note.

After talking along the way, Li Muyu learned that Tian Yumin is twenty years old, a foreigner, and a former apprentice. He started working alone at the beginning of the year.

Because he is smart and eloquent, he quickly earned his first pot of gold.

The purpose of going to Sanbian County was to purchase a batch of Sanbian paper. When I met Li Muyu selling toothbrushes, I saw a big business opportunity.

On the one hand, they intended to sell everything, and on the other hand, they intended to cover everything. The relationship between the two developed by leaps and bounds, and their names soon became 'Mu Yu' and 'Yu Min'.

The two also reached an agreement at the wine table. Wooden toothbrushes like this will now be sold to Tian Yumin at a price of one or two eighty silver each, but they are not allowed to sell them to anyone else except the fifty toothbrushes from the Peng family.

The host and guest parted happily and returned home. Zhang Ruomei jumped on Li Muyu's back, waved her fist and shouted: "Get rich, get rich!"

Realizing that such an intimate act was inappropriate, Zhang Ruomei hurriedly came down, blushing with her heart pounding, and peeked at Li Muyu.

Seeing that Li Muyu just smiled without any intention of blaming him, he safely urged Li Muyu to quickly make toothbrushes to make money.

Three days later in the afternoon, under the leadership of Zhang Ruomei, the two came to Peng's mansion.

After asking, I found out that the middle-aged man who placed the order was the chief steward of the Peng Mansion.

Butler Peng really vividly demonstrated the arrogance of the rich when facing the poor. To be precise, Butler Peng looked at Li Muyu through his nostrils, but when dealing with Zhang Ruomei, his arrogance was somewhat restrained, at least he spoke with a smile.

At first, Li Muyu thought that Butler Peng had some thoughts about Zhang Ruomei, but later he realized that this was not the case at all.

After the people below counted the number of toothbrushes, Butler Peng took out three banknotes and handed them to Zhang Ruomei; one was one hundred taels, and two were ten taels.

Seeing Zhang Ruomei carefully checking the authenticity of the banknote, Butler Peng said with a smile: "No need to check, for your brother's sake, can I still deceive you?"

Li Muyu immediately understood that Zhang Ruomei's brother Zhang Jinyi was not only involved with the Peng Mansion, but his rank in the Peng Mansion was definitely not low.

"It was agreed that a toothbrush would cost three taels of silver. Fifty toothbrushes would be one hundred and fifty taels. Why is there only one hundred and twenty taels? It's still short..."

Li Muyu quickly touched Zhang Ruomei and held his hand to Butler Peng.

"Thank you very much for taking care of Butler Peng. I'll treat Butler Peng to tea with these thirty taels. I hope Butler Peng will take care of the business of the shop more in the future!"

Butler Peng then smiled at Li Muyu: "After all, it takes a man to be sensible."

With that said, Butler Peng took out another twenty taels of silver notes.

"Don't say that I didn't take care of you. There are many people in the house, and the expenses and consumption are high. Dozens of toothbrushes are not enough to replace, so we need to reserve more. You can send fifty more toothbrushes as soon as possible."

Zhang Ruomei learned the lesson this time. Just when he was about to open his mouth, he glanced at Li Muyu and shut up obediently.

"I don't dare to expire your term. My future toothbrushes will be all covered by someone else. I'm sorry!"

"Is it all covered?" Butler Peng was stunned and asked anxiously: "How much does it cost for a package?"

"In small business, credibility is the most important thing. I'm really sorry."

"In this way, no matter how much the other party pays, I will pay double, all-inclusive. How about that?"

Li Muyu smiled bitterly and cupped her hands at him, with a very clear meaning: No!

Butler Peng's face suddenly turned cold, he took out a thirty-tael silver note and stuffed it into Zhang Ruomei's hand, turned around and left, leaving only a cold sentence: "I can't afford this tea!"

Li Muyu didn't want to offend anyone, but since it was like this, he had nothing to do. He just hoped that the other person wouldn't hold a grudge because of this small displeasure.

On the way back, Li Muyu suddenly slapped his thigh: "I'm so stupid, why didn't I know to agree first, and let Yumin sell it when the time comes, so that neither party will be offended."

"Then let's go to the Peng Mansion now and discuss it with Butler Peng?"

Li Muyu thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "If we go to Butler Peng now, he will probably think that we are deliberately humiliating him, and will offend him even more."
