"Yes, our town has been taken over by the sergeants of Frozen Mountain, and the idle people dare not make trouble." The black dragon nodded repeatedly.

Some time ago, Sun Monkey, who robbed his territory, was thrown directly into the county government prison because he was disobedient, and now no one dares to act rashly.

"Shall I go for a run, then?" Qian Maoda said to Du Mei uncertainly, but his vision was very eager.

"What you are doing is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, you should go!" Du Mei's firm jaw bowed.

"Second stunned, you can still come and help me." Qian Maoda turned his head to look at the second stunned.

"Needless to say, I'll naturally follow you!" The second stunned looked at Du Mei's eyes that he couldn't shirk, if he dared not agree, he was waiting to be scolded, so he readily agreed.

The two places were agreed, and Hei Jiaolong discussed with Qian Maoda how to go, where to answer, and so on. Du Mei was on the sidelines, helping to think of ideas. Although she couldn't go in person, she was relieved to have the ducks of Qian Maoda's family go.

Du Mei was busy in the village for three or two days, and completely eradicated the locusts. God had mercy on the suffering people after the disaster, and it rained a few times intermittently, and even threw down a lot of the scorching heat.

The willows and elms were moistened by the rain, and they were all renewed, and almost overnight, new leaves sprang up one after another. The rice in the field has grown tender leaves, and the late ears of rice have been pumped a little. The villagers of Dujiagou had a bitter face a few days ago, but these days they are slowly stretching out, they are living a difficult life, but they are as tough as pampas grass.

Time waited for no one, and the muscular men, shirtless, picked up their sickles, cut the dry corn stalks and bean stalks, dug new holes in the fields, and set corn and late-ripening beans on the ground.

The women cut all the old leeks and water spinach in the vegetable field and fed them to the chickens and ducks, waiting for new young leaves to grow. A new season of seedlings was planted under the shelves of cowpeas, green beans and cucumbers. In this way, Dujiagou is full of vitality again.

The children came out to dig wild vegetables in twos and threes with baskets, the ditches and dams were overflowing with water, Du Ying drove the ducks down the river beach, Du Shu took the rhubarb, checked the growth of rice in the field, irrigated and released water, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

On this day, Du Mei packed up her rope early in the morning, put on the ox cart, she had been home to exterminate the locusts for more than half a month, and now there was nothing to do, it was time to go to the town to see the grain shop, she brought a basket of fifty duck eggs, and planned to sell them in the grain store first.

Calling the big girl to go together, both of them were a little excited, and they talked non-stop all the way, and soon arrived in the town.

Niu Er was sitting at the counter clumsily pulling the abacus beads, when he heard the footsteps of someone walking in, he looked up and saw that it was Du Mei and the eldest girl, and immediately stood up in surprise and said, "Oh, you are finally here!" ”

"What's wrong, Brother Niu?" The eldest girl asked with concern.

"It's not this account, it hurts my brain, it's good for you to come, hurry up, hurry up." Niu Er hurriedly gave up his seat, and in his eagerness, he almost knocked over the inkstone.

"Don't worry, you put it away, I'll come." The big girl smiled and held on to the table.

"How can you not be in a hurry, the rice in our store is not enough to sell, this store has been open for more than a month, and I don't know if it's a profit or a loss!" Niu Er grew up in the market, and he is not a problem to do rough work, but he is not good at accounting and doing business.

"Now that the locust plague has been extinguished, why are so many people rushing to buy it?" Du Mei frowned.

"It's not a rush to buy, right now there is only one grain store in Sheshan Town." Niu Er blinked his eyes and said.

"What about Liang Ji?" Dume wondered.

"A few days ago, many people suddenly came to the county office, confiscated Liang Ji, and arrested Boss Liang and his wife. It is said that they are driving up the price of rice, seeking huge profits, and harming their neighbors. Niu Er scratched his head and said.

"Oh." Du Mei knew in his heart that it must be Liang Wu's incident that day, and the county lord followed the vine and found out about Liang Ji's conscience.

"Meizi, thanks to you saying that you can't raise the price that day, if not, I will go to prison again." Niu Er looked at Du Mei in admiration.

"When we do business, we have to pay attention to integrity at all times, and we can't ignore the lives of others for the sake of immediate interests." Dume said solemnly.

"Uh-huh." When the eldest girl and Niu Er heard this, they both nodded.

"Meizi, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is the countryside?" An old man stepped through the door with a rice bag in his hand and asked.

"Well, the countryside is good, uncle, are you here to buy rice?" Du Mei greeted warmly.

"Hey, this duck egg is also for sale?" The old man saw a basket full of duck eggs at a glance, picked up one and looked at it.

"Yes, my ducks are fresh." Du Mei walked over and said.

"How do you sell it?" The old man picked it up

Du Mei had planned to go to other shops on the street to inquire about the price first, but before he went out, he met a customer, and he really didn't know what price to quote.

"Two texts and one for one." Niu Er saw that Du Mei didn't speak, so he estimated and quoted a price.

"Wow, shopkeeper cow, your price is too high, and the eggs are only a penny." The old man stopped, frowned and complained.

"Cut, eggs can be given to duck eggs than duck eggs? Look at our duck eggs, two are enough for a stir-fry dish! "Although Niu Er doesn't understand it very well, Wang Po can still sell melons and boast about herself.

"Duck eggs are different from eggs, they can nourish yin and clear heat, remove lung fire, stop dry cough, and are the most suitable for the current weather." Du Mei smiled slightly, and wrenched his fingers to say the benefits of duck eggs.

"But two pennies a piece is too expensive! Cheaper? The old man muttered, Mei Ji's duck eggs are indeed better than those of other homes, but the price is also the most expensive.

"This is a head nest egg, a penny and a half, do you think it's okay?" Du Mei heard Qian Maoda say that the eggs were sold for a penny and a half, so she asked tentatively.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy twenty first." The old man said in a loud voice.

Du Mei and Niu Er looked at each other, it seems that her duck eggs are the only ones here.

People who came in one after another rushed to buy duck eggs, and some of them did not have enough money, so they would rather buy duck eggs first and then buy rice later. After a while, the duck eggs were sold out.

Du Mei counted seventy-five coins, and her heart was filled with a sour feeling, which kept overflowing in her chest, and their family had gone through a lot of hardships, and now they had finally done it and earned their first money.

On the second day, Du Mei brought two baskets of more than 100 duck eggs to the grain store. The town didn't buy it yesterday, so I came early to wait in line.

Du Mei handed over the grain shop to Niu Er and the eldest girl to take care of, and she picked up some duck eggs and carried the basket to Yujitang.

"Uncle Zhong Yu." Du Mei smiled outside the clinic.

"You're back? Come on in! Zhong Yu was prescribing medicine to a woman, and he was naturally very happy to see her.

Du Mei put down the basket and stood intently behind Zhong Yu to watch him open, without bothering him.

"Are you feeling better?" Zhong Yu turned his head and asked. The woman took the prescription and went out, and the man at the door closed it.

"I'm fine." Dume turned.

"Sit down, I'll take a look." Zhong Yu pointed to the stool, motioned for Du Mei to sit down, and reached out to check her pulse.

"I'll just say I'm fine." When Zhong Yu withdrew his hand, Du Meijiao smiled.

"The trauma is now fine, but your cold has not completely disappeared, so you still need to be careful." Zhong Yu advised.

"I know. Look, what did I bring with me? Du Mei didn't care at all, he only cared about bringing joy to those close to him.

"Duck Egg, you've finally done it!" Zhong Yu exclaimed. He selfishly didn't want Du Mei to do these hard and tiring jobs, but he couldn't resist her after all, so he could only support her wholeheartedly.

"My mother said that the duck's first egg is for everyone to taste." Du Mei put a duck egg on Zhong Yu's case, the fresh and elegant color warmed people's hearts.

"Thank you for me." Zhong Yu lowered his eyes, and his heart was slightly sweet.

"In a few days, I'll bring some different duck eggs for my uncle to try." Du Mei said mysteriously.

"You can keep it and sell it, it's enough to eat for a few days." Zhong Yu raised his eyes to look at the girl in front of him, as if he could vaguely find the gentle and warm shadow of a woman back then.

"That's a different taste. Hee-hee. Du Mei smiled crookedly.

"Aren't you going to learn acupuncture? Can I be free today? Zhong Yu pressed the thoughts in his heart and asked with a light smile.

"Okay, have you been doing a lot of acupuncture lately?" When Du Mei heard this, he hurriedly turned around and went to the basin to clean his hands.

"Recently, people who are greedy for cold in summer have more back and leg pain, and there is more acupuncture work." Zhong Yu opened the door and told the man to continue to invite the patient in.

The two of them were busy until noon, before sending the last patient away, Zhong Yu twisted his neck, he was so tired that he couldn't lift his arms.

"I'll give you a button. Uncle Zhong Yu, you should take in an apprentice, otherwise, you will be too tired. Du Mei skillfully gave Zhong Yu a shoulder massage.

"I told you I was going to give it all to you." Zhong Yu closed his eyes and said.

"But I can't be a doctor." Dume said annoyedly.

"Why can't you?!" As soon as Zhong Yu heard this, his heart rushed upward.

"I ...... I also have to take care of my mother and younger siblings. Du Mei was yelled at by him, and his heart became inexplicably empty.

"Can't I support them in this hospital?

Zhong Yu looked back at Du Mei, annoyed that this girl was a dead eye, and did not understand his good intentions.

"No, no, no, it's yours." Dumay retracted his hand crampedly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's eat." As soon as Zhong Yu saw the shrinkage in her eyes, his heart softened, and he couldn't bear to blame.

Du Mei personally cooked a bowl of chrysanthemum brain duck egg soup, Zhong Yu ate refreshingly, but he didn't let Du Mei eat more, afraid of cold and wet heavy bullying, only braised beef for her to eat.

After eating, Zhong Yu took the school exam for a while, and saw that she had her own insights everywhere, so he let her go back satisfied.

Du Mei carried the basket and turned around and entered the Yunshang Embroidery Village, Ye Qing was bored, sitting on the counter with his cheeks back, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Ye Qing." Du Mei called with a grin.

"Sister Meizi, why are you here?" When Ye Qing heard her voice, he immediately shouted happily.

"My duck has laid eggs, I want to give you some!" Du Mei handed him the duck eggs.

"What a beautiful duck egg! If only I could dye a shirt like this and wear it. Ye Qing pinched the duck egg and looked at it again and again.

"It's okay in the store these days." Du Mei looked around the shop, because it was summer, and the embroidery business was usually sluggish.

"Business is okay, my brother runs at both ends, Luo Meixuan's business sometimes can't be done, so he brings it back to find someone to do it, but you are too busy, my brother doesn't want to trouble you." Ye Qing put down the duck eggs, put them on the counter, and talked to Du Mei.

"Well, I went out some time ago to help exterminate the locusts, and I will have to be idle in the future, if you have any work, just come to me." Brother Ye Qing was very kind to her, and if they were in trouble, she would help them.

"That's good, that's good, my brother is used to seeing your embroidery, others really don't get into his eyes, a few days ago, he lost his temper with me over a piece of clothing." Ye Qing pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"What clothes?" Du Mei asked, tilting his head.

"A dance suit." Ye Qing seemed to have been scolded by his brother, and he didn't want to mention it, so he simply said it.

"Dancing clothes?" Du Mei asked suspiciously, not knowing why.

"Ahem, Gangneung City will hold an Oiran Contest on the seventh day of July every year to arrange a new Flower List." Ye Qing is a teenager after all, although he doesn't know exactly what is going on, but when it comes to this, he is still red-faced.

"Oiran contest? Hundred Flowers List? "Du Mei is a country girl, and she doesn't know it anymore.

"Anyway, it's dancing in nice clothes." Ye Qing didn't know much, just nonsense. These two ignorant people just commented on the beauty of the capital.

"Well, what about the clothes, I'll see." On a whim, Du Mei couldn't help but want to see what the dancing clothes looked like.

"Wait for me to get it." Ye Qing turned around and went to the back room.

After only a while, Ye Qing took out a black gauze coat as thin as a cicada feather and spread it on the counter.

"This, this is definitely worn?" Du Mei asked, his eyes wide.

"How do I know?" Ye Qing muttered.

"What are you two looking at?" A voice came from outside the door.

"Brother, you're back!" Ye Qing raised his eyes and saw that it was Ye Dan, and hurriedly greeted.

"Shopkeeper Ye is back." Dumay curtsied.

"Meizi, you're a rare guest, you haven't been here for a long time." Ye Dan saw Du Mei with a smile on his face.

"I'm talking to Sister Meizi about this dress, I can't tell, you can talk about it." Ye Qing hurriedly gave way.

"Meizi is here, you have a savior!" Ye Dan was so indulged that he scratched Ye Qing's nose.

"Ye Qing said that this is a dance costume for the Oiran Competition, but this is ......" Du Mei pointed to the transparent clothes.

"The dance costume is different from ordinary clothes, it is a gauze with a petticoat underneath." Ye Dan thought about it and said.

"Do you need embroidery on it?" Du Mei touched it, and the sari was soft.

"There are three sets of clothes for the women in the competition, and if you can help make them, you won't need this one." Ye Dan pondered the words and said.

"If I do it, I need to tailor it." Du Mei said with a wink.

"This is not difficult, we can enter Gangneung City once." Ye Dan had unconcealed joy on his face.

"Well, I just don't have much to do these days." Du Mei thought about it and said that the ducks at home laid eggs smoothly, and the duck eggs could also be handed over to the big girl to be taken to the grain store to sell.

"Okay, that's it, I still have some chores to deal with, I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow." Ye Dan has been entangled in things for many days, and when he met Du Mei today, he was able to solve it easily, how could he be dissatisfied and happy. 2k reading web
