Chapter 219: Two Conditions for Duck Eggs

There's nothing I can't do, and for them, no matter what, I have to do it. Lao Lin smiled bitterly and took his son and leaned on his arms.

"Well, if you are in trouble, come to me in Sheshan Town, and the people on the side dare not say that there is still food to eat." Du Mei had no other better way to help them, so he had to say so.

"Thank you, Miss Du, my name is Lin An. If you are busy and have no labor, come to us in the west of the city, and be on call as long as we are still there. Lao Lin said sincerely.

"Sister, my name is Lin Feng." The little boy suddenly poked his head out of Lin An's arms, and said to Du Mei in a serious manner.

"I remember you, Lin Feng!" Du Mei bent down and looked at him with a smile.

"This kid doesn't like to talk on weekdays, but now he's sensible." Lin An's daughter-in-law touched his jet-black hair lovingly.

"Wait for me." As if remembering something, Du Mei turned around and ran to the bun shop to buy back thirty meat buns.

"You take this to eat on the road, and take this to Gangneung City, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk for a day, if you meet an ox cart on the way, you can give a little money, let them take you by the way, so that you can catch up with your fellow villagers sooner." Du Mei put the meat bun in Lin An's daughter-in-law's hand, grabbed a handful of copper coins from the purse, and stuffed it into Lin An's pocket.

"How can we thank you?" Lao Lin's daughter-in-law carried a hot bun in one hand and pulled her sleeve with the other, wiping her tears of gratitude.

"You're welcome, auntie, maybe one day, I'll have to bother you." Du Mei smiled comfortingly.

Lao Lin's family said goodbye to Du Mei and went to Jiangling City. Du Mei and Du Shu sent three bags of multigrain flour to the county government.

The county officer waited at the gate early with the three officials, and was full of joy when he saw Du Mei, and the three officials carried the bag of noodles and went in, and the county officer wrote a note to Du Mei, which was temporarily borrowed by the county government.

Chunlai's grocery store was closed overnight, and the shopkeepers of the other shops were all working in good spirits, and even the shouts of the guys were louder than usual.

As soon as Du Mei's ox cart arrived at South Street, he was discovered by a sharp-eyed guy at the Chen Kee grocery store on the east side of the street, and he immediately ran in to tell the shopkeeper.

"Miss Du, I can wait for you to come, come in and sit, come in and sit." Shopkeeper Chen looked at the two baskets of duck eggs on Du Mei's ox cart, smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and hurriedly let Du Mei inside.

"Oh, Shopkeeper Chen, you're not authentic, Miss Du is here, why don't you only take it to your own house." The fat shopkeeper of a rice shop across the street trotted in, and the fat couldn't be hidden in the long shirt.

"You are a rice seller, do you also want to sell duck eggs!" Shopkeeper Chen was not happy and glanced at him.

"What, rice, flour, oil and eggs are a family. Xing you are a grocery seller and a duck egg seller, but I can't sell it in this serious place? The fat shopkeeper rolled his eyes without showing any weakness.

For a while, the two of them blushed and quarreled on the street, attracting the customers and men of other shops to come out to watch the excitement.

Although the duck eggs on the ox cart are covered with blue coarse cloth, they are still not clear, but the shopkeepers of each family have seen the duck eggs in the basket yesterday, and they want to come to the basket is not bad, and they naturally want to fight for their own business.

Du Mei went to a shop selling oil and salt seasonings yesterday, and the shopkeeper of this house was an old man in his fifties, who quietly walked to Du Mei's side and said, "Miss Du, will you move to my shop to rest?" ”

"Now, if I go to your place, I'm afraid I'll knock your roof over." Du Mei stood still, looking back and smiling.

"What are you arguing about? Let's ask what Miss Du means. Seeing that the two were arguing, an older man stepped forward to persuade him.

Hearing him say this, everyone's eyes turned to Du Mei.

Du Mei was not afraid of everyone's scrutiny, she helped Du Shu to stand on the ox cart, which was obviously a cut above others.

"I really thank everyone, thank you for looking down on my duck eggs, but you can't sell duck eggs on the entire South Street, don't you say?" Du Mei looked around at the crowd.

"Then what conditions do you have?" The onlookers asked a little curiously, it is rare to see such a seller.

"I only have two conditions, one condition is that the duck eggs are exchanged for two pennies each. If you can accept it, please stand here. Du Mei first said a condition, and this will make many businesses who join in the excitement automatically retreat.

"It's too expensive, I only charge one penny in the spring."

"You still flipped through that old yellow calendar, and the shopkeeper Bian went to the county government to eat in prison!"

"Call and scold, don't lose the capital, the capital has to be two cents a piece, if you don't sell three pennies, you won't be able to make money."

"Forget it, I don't sell this in the store, I see others make money."

There are a lot of people who retreat, but there are also many who want to take over the business.

"I saw her duck eggs yesterday, they are big, they are good, and they are fresh, to be honest, they are not expensive."

"If the three articles can't be sold, the two and a half articles are certain, and if the customers buy some others, won't the shop also have popularity and income."

"I've wanted to sell duck eggs for a long time, and now spring is coming to seal it, it's a great opportunity!"

Du Mei watched the crowd chatter, enthusiastic and boiling like a pot of boiling oil. Seven or eight shopkeepers had already gathered in front of the ox cart, and they were all staring at Du Mei and her duck eggs.

"And then there is the second one, from now until the beginning of the Shen period, sell fifty duck eggs. If there is something that can be done, let's go to the county government office immediately to write a contract. Du Mei then said the second condition, this one is simply to sprinkle water in the oil pan and fry it immediately.

"What's going on? How can there be such a thing to sell! ”

"It's just too much! There is also a limited time! ”

The shopkeepers who had been surrounding the ox cart before listened to Du Mei's words, and immediately three of them turned around angrily and left.

"I didn't mean to make things difficult for everyone, but my duck egg is a living creature, and it won't get in the way if it is put for a month in winter, but if it is more than half a month in summer, it will probably stink. At that time, it will not only ruin the reputation of my duck eggs, but also affect the shopkeepers and lose their capital, so it is not good for any of them. When Du Mei saw that someone was gone, he raised his voice and said.

"That's right."

"I think so."

After some weighing and evaluating the strength of himself and others, there were finally four shopkeepers left, namely the shopkeeper Chen of groceries, the fat shopkeeper of the rice store and the old man of the spice shop, and a middle-aged man who sold food.

Du Shu drove the ox cart, Du Mei delivered the duck eggs to the door of each shop, the shopkeeper paid a hundred yuan, and the man carefully loaded the duck eggs back in a basket. The four families are so divided, and the duck eggs in the basket will soon bottom out, and there will be about a dozen.

It was already five o'clock at this time, and there were still more than two hours before the time of Shen. The onlookers saw that the duck eggs were divided and gradually dispersed, but in their hearts they were looking forward to Shen Shi coming soon, so that they could see who would be chosen by Du Mei to sell her duck eggs.

Du Mei didn't have the leisure to watch the excitement, she knew that Fengxian must wait for her to be anxious, so she drove the ox cart to the Song Mansion.

Mrs. Zhang was waiting for her at the door very enthusiastically, and a discerning servant next to her took Du Shu to lead the ox cart to the backyard to rest, and Du Mei instructed Du Shu to send the remaining duck eggs to the kitchen. The last time she came, all the duck eggs were sold to Zuixianlou, and this time she had to let Sister Fengxian try it anyway.

Fengxian has been wandering under the corridor several times, this morning Liu Gengsheng asked Mrs. Zhang to say that Du Mei will come later today, she is faintly uneasy, and she only hopes that she will come earlier.

"Wait a minute, Sister Fengxian." Du Mei smiled and came through the flowers and willows.

"You girl, you have to be busy with so many things every day, I just have a headache when I am in charge of a drunken immortal building!" When Feng Xian saw her coming, her heart was settled, and she smiled and nodded her forehead.

"Looks like you're doing well today." Du Mei saw that she had the heart to play with herself, and she estimated that she was not so uncomfortable.

"Well, it's much better than the previous days." The phoenix clasped her hands together and covered her flat lower abdomen, her face full of love.

"I'll help you massage it again today, and then just apply a hot compress, and it'll be fine slowly." In the hut, Du Mei's men could no longer feel the hard lumps, so they were relieved.

"Really? Your underwear is really good, you are so busy, I didn't want to make trouble, so I asked Xiaolian to make one, but somehow, it was always uncomfortable to wear. Fengxian said a little embarrassed.

"I'll help you change it in a moment. When I'm free, I'll make two more for you. Du Mei whispered.

Du Mei helped Fengxian get up and helped put on her coat, and Xiaolian removed the hot water and handkerchief. She sat down and began to modify her underwear, she had always been ingenious, and it was sewn in a short time, and Feng Xian felt very satisfied with it just by looking at it, and hurriedly put it away.

Mrs. Zhang came to invite her to dinner. Although Du Shu is the same age as Du Mei, he is half the size of a child and cannot enter the inner house to eat with Du Mei.

Fengxian instructed Mai Dong to open another table in the outer courtyard, with a lot of meat, fish and chickens, and specially asked Liu Gengsheng to accompany him to eat. Where has Du Shu eaten such a good banquet, he and Liu Gengsheng are not familiar, Liu Gengsheng's diligence makes him very uncomfortable, so he only ate a little hastily, and then gave up.

Du Mei accompanied the phoenix to lunch, the phoenix has a bad appetite, one is hot, and then the body is pregnant, it is inevitable to be picky about eating, but I ate a little chrysanthemum brain duck egg soup, I feel cool and refreshing, I don't feel that I have eaten an extra bite of food, this makes Mrs. Zhang very happy, and she recites Buddha in her mouth.

"Duck eggs are cold, you can only eat them occasionally, Aunt Zhang, you ask the cook to make more light and appetizing ones, and it will be fine after the first three months." Seeing that she still wanted to eat, Du Mei hurriedly shook her head and said.

"It's all up to you." Fengxian smiled and put down her chopsticks.

After the meal, Du Mei accompanied her to walk slowly in the flower-filled wisteria gallery and gossip. After a while, Mrs. Zhang came to invite Fengxian to take a lunch break, and Du Mei took the opportunity to leave.

Liu Gengsheng accompanied Du Shu to sit in the shade of the trees in the outer courtyard, and when he saw Du Mei coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother Shu, haven't you always wanted to buy a trap? It's hard to get into the county, so you can go out and take a look. Du Mei untied his purse and handed it to Du Shu.

"Brother Tree wants to buy this, I'll go with you, I know a blacksmith, and he is doing a very good job." Liu Gengsheng was purchased by the Song Mansion, three religions and nine streams, and he knew many people outside.

"Where do I want so much money!" Du Shu was a little embarrassed and blocked the purse back.
