"Sister Fengxian just sent a housewarming gift of five hundred taels, and I just used it first." Du Mei blinked, telling the truth.

"You, if you don't toss, it's not you." Ye Qing teased, but he also had to admire Du Mei's vision and courage.

"Let's see how the rice goes." Du Mei saw that the strong man had already moved all the rice in, so he got up and went to the old house to check.

Du Mei untied a sack and measured some with a liter. The color of japonica rice, there is no miscellaneous rice, the husk is golden in color, very dry to the touch, and the burrs on the husk pull hands, so it can be seen that this is not the old rice that has been put for several years.

Du Mei took one, put it between her teeth, and snorted it gently, only to hear a crisp sound, the rice husk cracked, and she peeled out the rice grains, only to see that the grains were full and warm. Then she peeled a few more and chewed between her teeth, and the sweet smell of fresh rice lingered in her mouth.

"It's the best japonica rice." Du Mei poured the rest of the rice back into the sack and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

Ye Qing's family was originally in business, and he didn't know much about the crops in the field, he only learned from Du Mei's appearance, painting scoops according to the gourd, but he could taste the taste of rice grains, and after listening to Du Mei's evaluation, he also nodded his head in a matter.

"Huizhou is a major grain producing area, but it is far away from Jiangling City, where the japonica rice is more abundant than ours." Ye Qing listened to what the steward said yesterday, and now he is learning and selling, and he will tell Du Mei.

"This business can't be done by the two of us alone, I'll go to the town today to discuss with Brother Niu and them. Ming'er, I'll go to the dock with you to have a look. Du Mei thought about it and said to Ye Qing.

"Okay, there's just a carriage, come and go faster." Ye Qing drank the last sip of herbal tea, raised his feet and left.

Xu took Juniper to take a nap, and Du Mei quietly woke up Du Gui and told her to go out for a while, so as not to worry her mother. When she went out, she thought about it, turned back again, and called the strong man to carry two bags of rice and put them back on the carriage.

When Du Mei arrived at Niu Er's house, Niu Er was sitting in the hall with Hei Jiaolong and sighed. In order to pay the full amount of money confiscated, Niu Er has emptied all the money he has saved over the years, not to mention, he still owes Du Mei a few hundred taels. The rent in this year's market has already been collected, and seeing that a family of four is about to be unable to open the pot.

Hei Jiaolong is even worse than Niu Er, all the money he earns is trapped in the field he bought, and he owes Du Mei even more, and because he is not in Hanshan Town, Bajin and Erdan patronize him again, and as a result, the territory was forcibly occupied by Sun Monkey's gang, and the rent has been robbed by him.

"What's wrong with you?" When Du Mei and Ye Qing came in, they felt the oppressive atmosphere in the room.

"Meizi, you're well." Niu Er cheered up and grinned. The black dragon hurriedly stood up and poured them a cup of tea.

"Hmm. I've brought you some paddy to see where it's right. Du Mei looked outside, and the strong man came in with a sack.

Niu Er's house is a big yard, Niu Er's father was a three-room circle of land, and part of the money Niu Er earned over the years was also spent on the construction of the yard, so although there were not many people in his family, there were many houses.

"Meizi, you ......" Du Mei's move is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow, Niu Er, a dignified eight-foot strong man, was so excited that the corners of his eyes were warm, and he couldn't speak.

"Rice, I will only send it once today, and in the future, you will have to earn it yourself." Du Mei opened his eyes and stared at the corner of the porch.

"This year's

There is no hope for rent, but the days are still long. The joy of seeing the rice just now was immediately dissipated by what Du Mei said, and he said angrily.

"A dignified man, except for renting, there is no way to live?" Du Mei deliberately sneered at him.

"Meizi, what can you do?" Niu Er's eyes lit up, and he looked at Du Mei expectantly.

"I have come to you today because I have something to tell you. If you are willing to put down your body and do it, I will say, if you can't, I will go to someone else. Du Mei knows that they are used to running rampant on weekdays, and they are not the masters of down-to-earth work.

"I've seen the world in the past few days, I don't have any money to live like a pig or a dog, how can I have any figure to speak of." Black Jiaolong has suffered a big loss from Sun Monkey recently, and he has no way to make money.

"Look at my family, what else do I have to talk about!" Niu Er smiled bitterly, the widowed mother of the family wept every day, and the widowed sister-in-law felt sorry for herself, saying that she was an ominous person, and even Niu San, who was not used to being heartless on weekdays, seemed to have something on her mind.

"In that case, let's make a big deal together." Seeing that they had been running into walls lately, and that life was even more difficult, Du Mei knew that they were anxious to do something to change the situation.

"What do we do?" Niu Er's eyes widened, he never doubted Du Mei's choice.

"I want to open a grain store." Du Meiyun said lightly.

"Grain shop?" The black dragon exclaimed.

"Meizi, not to mention the cost of opening a shop, where to find this rice, the village near here has already been ordered by Liang Ji." Niu Er doesn't seem to be very optimistic.

Liang Ji is the only grain store in Sheshan Town, and it is an old store that has been open for two generations.

"We don't sell local grain, Ye Qing said that there is a Huizhou grain seller on the wharf in Qinghe County, I have seen the rice, and the quality is definitely not worse than that in Sheshan Town." Du Mei said confidently.

"Can this be done?" Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong glanced at each other, a little shaken, and their hearts slowly leaned to Du Mei's side.

"I'll pay the capital, and you can sell it yourself. If you make it, everyone has money to share, and if you lose it, it's only five hundred taels. Du Mei gently put down the teacup.

She spoke lightly, as if she were doing a homely job. And when I heard Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong's ears, it was like a heavy hammer beating a drum, and the ears were buzzing, this was five hundred taels!

"Sister Meizi, count me as a share, and Yunshang Embroidery Village will invest five hundred taels in shares." Ye Qing had to follow no matter what, even if it was a fire pit, he would not hesitate to jump along, this was not only the master's explanation, but more importantly, he believed that Du Mei must have made a decision after careful consideration.

"We're already so poor that we can't be afraid, Meizi, I'll do it with you!" Niu Er made up his mind and patted his chest.

"I still have more than ten acres of land at home, or will it be counted as a share?" Seeing that Du Mei said it boldly, the black dragon couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself.

"A thousand taels is enough, run it first, and then it will be fine." Du Mei thought about it and said.

"Is the grain spread out in a stall selling herbal tea?" Thinking of this, Ye Qing hurriedly asked.

"Time is tight, for a while, it will be difficult to have a suitable shop in the town, and I don't want to confront Liang Ji head-on." Du Mei pursed her lower lip, if it weren't for the family's ducks, she wouldn't want to do it.

"Then I'll fix the stall a little stronger." Niu Er said busily

"Don't be busy repairing yet, Ming'er, you accompany me to the dock to have a look, it's over, and it's not too late to make other plans." Du Mei muttered.

"Okay." Niu Er and Black Jiaolong nodded again and again.

After this was done, Ye Qing drove Du Mei back in the carriage of Xiuzhuang.

Early the next morning, Hei Jiaolong came to pick up Du Mei, they all knew that Du Mei was sick, and tried to take care of her and not let her work too hard. Niu Er was waiting for them in Ye Qing's carriage in Sheshan Town.

The two carriages were very fast, but they arrived at the wharf in Qinghe County in more than an hour, at this time the sun hung overhead, ** spicy, the coolies on the wharf were carrying large bags or wooden boxes bare-chested, and most of the waistbands of their pants were soaked with sweat.

"Liu Tou, this is Sister Meizi, last time you said that the shipowner had 500 stones of rice to sell, are you still doing it now?" Ye Qing found the familiar Steward Liu.

I saw this person, medium build, lean, maybe he was very sunburned on the dock, his skin was dark, and he reflected the light of oil.

"Yes, yes, last night, the shopkeeper at his house asked me for a drink and asked me to help inquire." Steward Liu said happily. Yesterday's shopkeeper promised him that if the rice was sold, there would be a commission. Seeing that Du Mei didn't come from here early this morning, how could he not greet him with a smile?

"Uncle Liu, please lead the way." Du Mei said politely.

"The girl is polite, please here, the owner of the boat is over there, the young owner of his family is a man who admits death, he has to ask for this price, otherwise, how can he suffer today." Steward Liu walked on Du Mei's side, raised his right hand and pointed into the river, and turned his left hand up and down.

"Lao He, I'm here to patronize." Steward Liu shouted at the boat.

A middle-aged man with white hair and wearing an indigo cotton robe heard the sound, and when he saw Du Mei and his party, he hurriedly took a springboard and set it on the shore.

"Slow down, slow down, watch your step." Steward Liu has been on the dock for many years, and when he got off the ship, he walked on the ground as if he were walking on the ground, and he walked ahead, not forgetting to remind Du Mei.

On board, Shopkeeper He invited them to sit in the cabin, and a white man made a cup of tea for each of them and brought out a few plates of snacks.

Du Meihuan customer cabin, this is similar to the hall of ordinary people, only this cabin is divided into two by a seven-fold Su embroidered screen, they sit in the front to talk, the back is more secret, can not see anything.

"How many of you are here to buy food?" Shopkeeper He was very kind, he looked at the four of them, and fixed his gaze on Niu Er.

"Shopkeeper He, are you selling all rice?" Du Mei saw that Niu Er was embarrassed by him, and spoke.

"In addition to rice, there is also some wheat, girl......" Shopkeeper He was waiting for Niu Er to reply, but he didn't expect that the girl on the side asked, he was in a trance for a while, he had been a shopkeeper for decades, and he actually misjudged the customer?

"Shopkeeper He, I came to buy thirty stones yesterday, and my sister Meizi wants to see the rest." When Ye Qing came yesterday, it was Steward Liu who personally helped pick up the goods, so Shopkeeper He didn't know Ye Qing.

"Ah, we have about three hundred stones of rice and two hundred stones of wheat." Shopkeeper He swallowed his surprise raw, this girl can make two men as followers, if she is not rich and rich, she must be a great person.

Shopkeeper He couldn't help but look at Du Mei's clothes and behavior coldly, but the more he looked at it, the more he didn't understand, and his heart was shocked. 2k reading web
