It turned out that in order to participate in and organize the wedding of the old table, Du Mei and others had not opened for business for two days. When Du Mei left, she told the aunt next door that she was going home to drink the wedding wine, and if someone bought rice, she would help inform her.

I don't know what the aunt said, or someone made trouble from it, and there was a sudden rumor in the town that the Mei Ji grain shop was closed to stock up on grain, and it was going to sell high-priced grain in the future.

As soon as the news of the explosion spread, it was like a few drops of water dripping into a hot oil pot, and the residents panicked. Mei Kee's grain has always maintained parity, and when the locust plague was at its worst, the price of grain did not rise again, but in order to control the trafficking of profiteers, the purchase restriction method was adopted.

Due to the purchase restrictions, there is not much grain in stock, and because you can buy cheap rice every day, everyone has no idea of hoarding rice. The inhabitants were terrified for two days in the midst of the growing rumors, and on the third day, when it was still dark, someone came with bags of rice, and they still had a trace of luck in their hearts, believing that Du Mei was not such a person.

However, when the sun came out, the grain shop did not open the door, and the crowd blew up when it was neutral, and a few young people were ready to stir up in the crowd, fanning the flames.

"Du Mei is a liar, her grain must be hoarded and not sold, waiting for the green and yellow to sell at a high price!" A skinny young man said loudly.

"No, if you want to sell at a high price, isn't it a better chance when the locust plague happens?" A woman said in confusion.

"What do you know about a woman's family, the cheap rice in front is just to deceive your trust, and in the back, you have no rice at home, and if the family wants to eat, you can only buy her high-priced rice!" Another young man with a pointed chin said.

"That's it, that's it, the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart." The thin monkey man nodded repeatedly.

"What can I do?" The woman said with a sad face.

"What to do, cold salad! I think there are only two ways, one is to wait to starve to death or die of poverty, and the other is ......" The young man with a sharp chin deliberately paused and didn't say anything.

"What's the solution?" An old man asked anxiously.

"Then you don't need to say, smash the door open, grab it!" The thin monkey man stared at his hanging eyes and said nonchalantly.

"You can't do that!" The old man's eyes shrank, turned away, and no longer paid attention to him.

"Hold the bold to death, starve the cowardly, the so-called law does not blame the public, let's go in and get it together, even if Du Mei sues the official, can he still arrest us all?" The skinny monkey man rolled his eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes, besides, if she doesn't dare to sue the official, we still have to sue her for hoarding goods and harming the township?" A fat man with a surprisingly big belly said angrily.

The crowd gathered outside the grain store was indignant by the crowd instigated by this gang, not only out of panic and fear of running out of food, but also out of luck and greed for not robbing nothing.

Niu Er's sister-in-law went to the market to buy vegetables, and found that these people wanted to smash the door to grab food, and immediately frightened the legs and panicked.

She didn't care about buying vegetables, turned around and went home in a panic, one person was invincible to four palms, Gou Yu and Bajin hurriedly went out to find someone, Gou Yu went to find Hei Jiaolong's two followers Erdan and King Kong, and Bajin came to Ye Qing in a hurry.

Coincidentally, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Luo Meixuan's business was very hot, Ye Dan did not come back for the festival, but he didn't have a reunion festival with his younger brother Ye Qing for the first year, and he really didn't want to go, and he just came back yesterday to rest.

Ye Dan was startled when he heard the news suddenly, and heard that there was indeed no food in the grain store, which couldn't help but make him sweat for Du Mei. If Du Mei comes, these people will definitely buy it, and when there is no food, whether it is food or lack of food, these people who are agitated and dazed will not give up.

He immediately decided to let Ye Qing drive to tell Du Meiwan not to come to the town, and he hurriedly went to find Zhong Yu.

After listening to Ye Qing's words, Du Mei immediately ordered the stone cart to rush to the town.

"Dare to love me for a long time, but you don't listen." Ye Qing persuaded hard, but Du Mei ate the scales and was determined to go.

"If I don't go, I'll really fall for the tricks of these people." Du Mei vaguely felt that these people must be related to Liang Ji.

Du Mei went to the town to sell food, basically all of them were harmonious and wealthy, only with Liang Ji had some festivals, Liang Ji made a lot of locust plague wealth, and Liang Wu forcibly kidnapped her in Lao Wangzhuang, these have long exceeded personal grievances and violated the king's law. But they did not repent, but only remembered their hatred on her head, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

"Sister, what do you do, my brother supports you!" Niu Er waved his palm, as if he was clearing all the obstacles for Du Mei.

"I'm afraid of a ball, Lao Tzu's hands are itching, I've been full of wine and food these days, and I'm worried that I have nowhere to move." The black dragon stretched out its arms and kicked its feet in disdain.

Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong were both born in the market, and they originally relied on their fists to eat, although they are trading with Du Mei, but the wildness in their bones has not changed at all, the more Ye Qing doesn't let them go at this time, the more belligerent they are.

"We're not going to fight." Du Mei shook his hand and said.

"Then what are we going to do, open the door and sell grain?" The second stunned looked at Du Mei and said.

"That's right, sell grain!" Du Mei said categorically.

"You stupid, how can we have so much rice in our granary?" Niu Er scratched his hair irritably.

"Big girl, if the rice in our shop is limited to purchase, can we cope with the past today?" Du Mei turned his head and asked.

"It's only half a day today, that is, just enough, and there is no more." The big girl wrinkled her eyebrows and said.

"Are you really going to do that? Isn't it going to close tomorrow? Ye Qing was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

"I'm closed because I don't have food, not because I don't sell it, this is completely different, whether we can still do grain business in the future, or change to other businesses, reputation is still the most important." Du Mei looked at the people in front of her gratefully, they were all her best friends and partners, and they still chose to stand by her side without hesitation in such a difficult time.

"The stone is willing to saddle the horse before and after, and obey the dispatch of the shopkeeper Du." Stone came in with a carriage, and when he saw that they were still standing, he suddenly began to speak, like a sergeant.

"Then let's go." Dumay took the lead and walked out.

"Plum!" Xu chased her out, she was not at ease, but she couldn't stop her.

"Mother, I'll be fine." Du Mei hugged the thin Xu Shi and comforted him softly.

"You...... Be careful. Xu was worried, but he held back his tears.

"Auntie, all of us are here, and we will never let Meizi out of the pool." Niu Er patted his chest and said.

"Bh. Be careful yourselves, and it is better not to conflict with others. Xu Shi looked at the group of daughters' partners and told them carefully.

"Big girl, you stay at home." When Du Mei saw the eldest girl coming up, he stopped her.

"No, I said it a long time ago, whatever you do, I will follow you, and today is no exception!" The big girl made a fight.

"That's okay, you're responsible for protecting the big girl." Seeing her like this, Du Mei had to agree.

"I'm going too." When Du Shu saw this, he also had to follow.

"Brother Shu, we're here to sell grain, not fight." Du Mei categorically disagreed with him going.

"You stay at home with my mother until I come back." Seeing that he didn't follow, Du Mei whispered in a low voice.

Du Shu had to reluctantly agree.

The group of people got into three carriages respectively, the stones carried Du Mei, Daya and Erzizi, Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong drove their own carriages, and Du Zhong drove instead of Ye Qing.

The three carriages galloped all the way, Du Mei's carriage was drawn by two horses, running in the front, the black dragon kept waving the whip in his hand, and followed closely behind, Ye Qing's carriage was small, and it was not weak to run.

It only took half an hour for the carriage to enter Sheshan Town, and from afar I saw many people surrounding the door of the Mei Ji Grain Shop.

Sharp-eyed saw three carriages, and immediately screamed: "Du Mei, Du Shopkeeper is here!" ”

The group came, the stone took the lead, Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong guarded Du Mei on the left and right, followed by the eldest girl and the second stunned, and the last were Du Zhong and Ye Qing.

"Folks, what is this for?" Du Mei saw that the dogs, eight catties, two eggs, and King Kong were guarding the wooden door of the store with their bodies to prevent the commotion crowd from breaking in.

"We're going to buy rice!" The skinny monkey hid in the crowd and shouted loudly.

"Yes, buy rice! Buy rice! The angry crowd responded.

"When will the plum grain shop stop selling rice? I just went home for a few days of wine, how did I make such a big misunderstanding? Du Mei searched the crowd for the person who was leading the trouble, but he didn't see it.

"If you have the ability, you open a shop and sell grain openly!" With a pointed chin, he snuggled up in the crowd.

"Yes, yes, open to sell, open to sell!" The besieging people came up like a tidal wave, and surrounded Du Mei and the others.

"The reason why the plum grain shop can sell affordable rice for everyone is because of the purchase limit, if all my rice is bought by people with ulterior motives, it doesn't matter if the grain shop closes, but everyone can only eat high-priced rice in the future!" Purchase restrictions, this is the bottom line, it is a rule, and it cannot be broken.

"Don't say it so high-sounding, I think you're waiting to sell for a high price." The fat man screamed.

The crowd was agitated again, and they all rushed to the door of the shop, but fortunately the grain store had been remodeled at the time, otherwise it would have collapsed.

"Don't be impatient, everyone, I am the Ye shopkeeper of Yunshang Embroidery Village, today, I will be a guarantee, Du Mei will never hoard goods and sell them at a high price." Ye Dan stood outside the crowd and shouted.

"You are a seller of embroidery, you have no land or land, what do you use as a guarantee?" Pointed chin said disdainfully.

"How about adding me one?" Zhong Yu strode in.

Ye Dan went to look for Zhong Yu after Ye Qing left, but unfortunately Zhong Yu was picked up by the townspeople for a doctor, and he left in a hurry, and the guy didn't know where he went.

Ye Dan waited anxiously in Yujitang, and he didn't see him return for a long time, so he simply left. As soon as he left, Zhong Yu came back, and after listening to the guy's words, he didn't even wash his hands and face, and came directly.

"Dr. Zhong?" The crowd was a lot quieter all of a sudden, Zhong Yu had an excellent reputation in Sheshan Town, and besides, ordinary people generally did not dare to offend doctors, and they respected Zhong Yu even more for a doctor with excellent medical skills.

"You're not the same, you don't have any land or land, your guarantee, is it to let us eat herbs and sticks?" The skinny monkey sneered without fear of death.

"Where are you from? What are you doing in our Shooting Town? Niu Er was a native of the country, he looked at the thin monkey with his face exposed, and said with a look of suspicion.

"You don't need to care about this, when you see that the road is uneven, someone shovels, do you dare to do it, are you still afraid of people saying it?" After saying this, the thin monkey burrowed into the crowd.

"Yes, their guarantees are not upset, and besides, Dr. Zhong is Du Mei's uncle, and this elbow is not turned inward." The crowd continued to stir and crowds rushed to the door of the shop.

"So, with one more guarantee of mine, can you do it?" A man's voice, cold and quiet, was like a scoop of cold water poured into a pot of boiling water that had been boiling for a long time.
