The moon moves and the shadows move, and you have a good night's sleep.

The next day, the sky was blue and the clouds were light, Du Mei sent Du Ying and the big girl to the grain shop, she went to Yunshang Embroidery Village to find Ye Dan to get the deposit receipt, and she needed copper money to collect grain in the countryside, and she had to go to the money village in advance to exchange.

Early in the morning, the business of the embroidery village was not busy, and Aunt Shi sat behind the counter and looked down to count the handkerchief sachets, which seemed to be taking inventory. She heard footsteps, looked up and saw that it was Du Mei, and the smile on her face almost overflowed: "The widow has not been here for a long time." ”

"The countryside is busy with the autumn harvest, and I can't be idle, so I haven't come for many days, how is my aunt?" Du Mei asked with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'm still worried about this old bone, I'm very glad I am. Coincidentally, the shopkeeper Ye is in the shop, but you are looking for him? Aunt Shi opened the cabinet door and let Du Mei in.

"Well, I'm looking for him." Du Mei nodded.

Ye Dan was in Luomei Xuan in Jiangling City most of the time, and Yunshang Embroidery Village was almost always handed over to Ye Qing to take care of, he only came back occasionally, and he also rested in the back hall, and he didn't come to the front to take care of things.

"I'll take you there, and I guess it's time to get up now." Aunt Shi pulled Du Mei into the back hall.

Turning the shadow wall, there is a large osmanthus tree with lush branches in the backyard, and at this time there are still golden flowers blooming here and there, and bursts of fragrant fragrance are overflowing everywhere.

Ye Dan was half-leaning on the recliner under the tree with a thin blanket and reading a book, the rising sun was shining warmly, very pleasant. There are tea cans and three empty cups on the small table, a dip in freshly brewed tea and a curling light smoke, and there are four kinds of dim sum: walnut crisp, osmanthus cake, red bean roll, and lotus seed cake.

"Shopkeeper Ye's rare leisure was disturbed by me." Du Mei chuckled and walked over. Aunt Shi was not worried about the counter in front of her, and when she saw them talking, she turned around and went back.

"Meizi, I was thinking about looking for you." Ye Dan raised his head from the book and smiled with a spring breeze on his face.

"Luo Meixuan's business is okay." Du Mei doesn't take care of the business of Gangneung City on weekdays, but now that he comes, he should always care about it.

"Now that the weather is getting cooler, the underwear business is not as prosperous as before, but the idea of the hand stove you are carrying is selling well now." Ye Dan took off the blanket, got up and made a cup of tea for Du Mei, the blue tea leaves tumbled in the boiling water a few times, and quietly sank to the bottom of the cup.

"In that case, what else do you want me to do?" Du Mei brushed the osmanthus on the chair opposite, sat down and asked.

"Now the underwear business is weak, the embroidery girl in the shop has nothing to do all of a sudden, people are worried, and I dare not let them go, I am afraid that I will be found by someone with a heart, and I will leak the secret of underwear, and now I only take money to support them. Although Aunt Deng embroidered some purse silk handkerchiefs with them every day, the colors were not outstanding, no one cared about them, and they couldn't make ends meet every day, which was really worrying. When Ye Dan saw this, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he wrinkled his eyebrows and sighed slightly.

"Embroidery girls must not go, underwear will be popular again next summer, where to recruit these skilled hands? As for the winter work, I think of the dolls before, when we were doing singing and selling, and the Splendid Workshop was buying and selling with us, do they still do it now? Du Mei took a sip of tea and asked in deep thought.

"This ...... If we don't do it, they seem to be gone, you mean, we're going back to our old business? Ye Dan thought for a moment and asked suspiciously.

"Since they have given up, we will go back to it, but not to sell songs, but to make underwear and other ways of selling, everyone can buy it, and we will not buy imitations. And we don't make dolls, the skills of dolls are demanding, and I don't have time to teach them, and then I teach them, and when the skills are skilled, the winter is over. Du Mei lowered her head and pondered carefully, and slowly said what was in her heart.

"So what do we do?" Ye Dan was very interested in Du Mei's words, straightened up and asked.

"That's what we do, pillows, pillows." Du Mei pointed to a small square pillow on Ye Dan's recliner.

"This? It's not a rare thing, but all embroidery villages have it for sale. Ye Dan glanced at it and said with some puzzlement.

"Whether it's a rarity or not depends on how we do it. Ordinary pillows and cushions only pay attention to the fabric, very little embroidery, if we find another way, embroidered doll pattern, or the whole complex twig pattern, and then we fill it with soft silk, fragrant grass seeds, sleep herbs, etc., is this different, novel and chic enough? Du Mei said what was in his heart.

"This is indeed a good way, in this way, the embroidery girls have a job, and the pillow made as you say, I now yearn for it just by listening to it." Ye Dan stared at Du Mei, how many fresh thoughts there were in this girl's heart, this thing that made him think about it for many days, it was almost nothing to her, and it was immediately solved.

"There is also the shape of the pillow, which does not have to be confined to the square, it is long, round, and column-shaped, you can try it. And we are not afraid of the imitation of the splendid fang, we only sell one season in winter, stop work in the spring, and then think of new colors next year, every year, every year, he can't keep up with us. Du Mei thought for a moment and added.

The people who live in Jiangling City are either rich or expensive, and those who can afford to buy Luomei Xuan objects are not short of money, nothing more than fresh and interesting, they can take the lead, they can make a lot of money, and wait for others to imitate it and list it in large quantities, this freshness will pass, and the price will naturally fall.

"You wait for me, I'll write it down." Du Mei spoke so much and fast that Ye Dan couldn't remember it for a while, so he trotted to get pen and ink.

After a while, under the osmanthus tree, Du Mei was eating snacks and talking, while Ye Dan lay down on the small table to write down what Du Mei said, and occasionally looked up to ask one or two.

"I'll think of these for the time being, as for the patterns of the dolls, I still have a lot of them at home, let Ye Qing collect the embroidery tomorrow, go to my house to pick it up, my mother is at home." Du Mei read the words on the paper again, and saw that there was nothing missing, so he nodded.

"Tomorrow, you're not home?" Ye Dan tilted his head and asked.

"We will start buying autumn grain tomorrow, although it is only in Dujiagou, but I am afraid that we will not have time to go back." Du Mei clapped his hands and dusted the crumbs of snacks on the ground, and a group of ants got busy.

"After talking for a long time, you haven't said how you came to me today." Ye Dan patronized and talked about business, which would be remembered, and he was a little embarrassed to say.

"I want copper money to collect grain, and I want to take the deposit receipt to the money bank to exchange some at you." Du Mei explained what he meant.

"Okay, I'll get it for you, I just saved a thousand taels of profit for you two days ago." Ye Dan got up and entered the house, and came out with a piece of brown paper for a while, "You can keep this by yourself, it's convenient to use, and I'll open an account for you in another money bank in the future." ”

"It's okay, I've been stocking up on grain recently, and the money from selling duck eggs is not enough, so I'll use it first." Du Mei carefully stuffed the deposit slip in his purse.

"There is no Bandung Money Village in Sheshan Town, if you want to exchange it and go to Qinghe County, you must have a lot of money to collect grain, so you have to bring more people." Ye Dan said with some concern.

"Don't be afraid, there are stones, one top ten." Du Mei has confidence in the stone and says with a smile.

"That's fine, be careful outside, don't show your wealth." Ye Dan told again.

Unconsciously, a layer of golden osmanthus fell on the small table, and Du Mei took another sip of tea and left.

Qinghe County, Bandung Qianzhuang Branch, Du Mei sent the deposit slip to the high cabinet, and said to the guy inside: "Little brother, please get me 500 hanging money." ”

"Five hundred hangings?" The guy inside exclaimed.

"Is this yours?" A middle-aged man with a goatee heard the voice, walked over, flipped through the deposit slips, and his eyes wandered over Du Mei's face again.

"Be bold, dare to talk to a widow like this!" The stone behind Du Mei saw that his gaze was very disgusting, and he stepped forward and asked sharply.

"You are just a small branch here, and this deposit slip can be stamped with the seal of the head office of Bandung Qianzhuang in Gangneung City, even if I want to withdraw all the silver on it, you are not qualified to ask." Du Mei snorted coldly.

"No, no, no, I'm just asking for a routine matter, where do you dare not let you take it." When the middle-aged man saw the burly, tall and sturdy stone, his voice immediately lowered by three points, and he was even more shocked when he saw that he called the girl in front of him a widow, and Du Mei's words made him completely soft.

"Hurry up, we don't have time to wait!" Stone glared at the middle-aged man.

"Shopkeeper, we don't have five hundred copper coins on the counter." The guy had a bitter face and whispered.

"My son, would it be good to get you five hundred taels of silver?" This is called the shopkeeper flatteringly asked.

"All I need is copper coins." Du Mei shook his head, in the countryside, silver is far less useful than copper coins.

"Yes...... But I don't have so much for the time being, can you wait a little while I go to another bank for a change? "The shopkeeper has a headache, this deposit certificate is 16,000 taels, almost all the net worth of his bank, such a big family must be served.

"How long will it take?" Du Mei asked with a frown.

"It will take half an hour, and you have to count them one by one." The shopkeeper nodded and said.

"Then you take your time, I'll come back in an hour." Du Mei put the deposit slip away.

"Okay, I'm ready, you must come and get it later." When the shopkeeper saw Du Mei say this, his heart relaxed.

"Stone, take advantage of this gap, let's go to the Song Mansion, I haven't seen Sister Fengxian for a long time." Out of the money bank, Du Mei said.

"Okay." The stone turned the horse's head and came up towards Song Shaohuai's mansion.

There were still four sturdy male servants standing in front of the Song Mansion, but they were all very angry, and when they saw Du Mei's carriage as if they hadn't seen it, it was not as enthusiastic as before, and Du Mei was very puzzled.

The stone stopped the carriage at the foot of the steps, and Du Mei stepped forward and said, "Little brother, please report it, and say that Du Mei from Dujiagou is here." ”

"It doesn't matter where you come from, Zhang Mei and Li Mei, my master is not a guest!" A servant bombarded impatiently.

"You're new here? Are Steward Mai and Liu Cai not there? Du Mei asked patiently.

"Why are you so verbose, whoever comes, my master is gone!" The servant angrily stepped forward and shoved.

Almost instinctively, Du Mei took advantage of his pushing force to remove his arm, and "Ah......hhhh

The other three male servants didn't look at the thin and tall Du Mei in their eyes, but now they saw that she somehow got it, and actually pulled out the person's arm, and immediately surrounded him fiercely.
