() "Uncle Scrap has set a date, I am here to tell you that Xiaoman Restaurant is open, you must come." Du Mei said happily.

"The business of the proprietor is booming, the new restaurant is open, such a happy event, of course we have to ask for a cup of happy wine to drink." Lin Ping crossed his waist with one hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other, and said with a smile.

"I also want to congratulate you, I heard the shopkeeper Dong say that Sister Yingzi's good days are coming soon, don't forget to tell me then." Du Mei turned his head and pulled Miao's family, and said with crooked eyebrows.

"Of course, we are all blessed by the Tuodong family, if you hadn't let her go to the restaurant to apprentice to see her, how could she have today's creation." At the mention of his daughter's relatives, Miao smiled and narrowed his eyes. Listening to her tone, she seemed to be very satisfied with this marriage.

"Hurry up and make some food, it's not early or late at this time, Meizi has to rush back to Jiangling City, let her eat some cushions and be hungry, and go on the road for a while, I'm afraid that there will be no time to rest." Du Zhong looked up at the sun, raised his hand, and Miao took a few women into the kitchen to wash rice and cook rice.

Taking advantage of the time when they were cooking, Du Zhong accompanied Du Mei around the field, only to see that the ears of wheat had begun to turn yellow, hanging heavily, and the wind passed by, rippling layers of wheat waves, and the rape grew thick and large, half a person high, and the ripening pods were almost full of bloom.

"This year, the sun is shining, but I'm afraid that after Xiaoman, the rape will be harvested." Du Zhong took a closer look at the pod.

"It seems that the harvest is good, but the price of summer grain is about to come down." Du Mei held an ear of wheat and checked it, the grain was full, and it felt a little overwhelming.

"The wheat on the mountain farm has not been frozen by the snow, so it naturally grows well, and the green seedlings in the village have been frozen a lot, but these days the wind and rain are smooth, and if the fertilizer can keep up, the loss will not be too big." The sun was a little dazzling, and Du Zhong squinted his eyes and looked at the undulating wheat fields.

The two of them watched and talked, and walked up the embankment of Baiyun Lake along Qianmo, only to see gray, brown, and white ducks playing in a large area of water separated by them, diving, hunting, and resting happily.

"Uncle Zhong, the big white duck breed must stay, it has high egg production, few nests, and thick meat, whether it is selling eggs or meat, it is a very good breed." Du Mei built a pergola in his hand and looked at the silver water surface of Baiyun Lake from afar.

"Duck has been in Zhuangzi for half a year, and I have some way. I said to Lin Ping a few days ago, when the seedlings are planted, the farming is idle, let's build a kang room over there to hatch duck seedlings, although it costs money to build a house, but when to hatch, how much to hatch, you can have the final say, you can save a lot of money every year, we have calculated several times, I think it is still worth it. Du Zhong turned around and pointed to an open space next to the big house.

"That's fine." Dume Dume folded a dog's tail grass and twisted it in his hand.

She didn't want to save money, in the past few months, the family has been buying duck seedlings, Qian Maoda probably won't say, but she can't stand the pervasive inquiries of people in the village. If you can raise ducks from hatching ducks to ducks slaughter, this is of course the most worry-free and best.

"If you want to make a kang house, you have to make a fire kang, I think even the big house will be done together, last winter you lived for a short time, if you live for a long time this year, the mountains are cold, you mothers are afraid that they can't stand it." Du Zhong hesitated and continued.

"What Uncle Zhong said is reasonable, my mother is very afraid of the cold in the cold winter, and the juniper is small

If you have a fire kang, winter is better. Du Mei nodded, and then said, "As for the money, don't worry, just go to the big girl." ”

"The meal is ready, let's eat." Miao wore an apron around his waist, and walked while wiping his hands.

A table had been set up under the shade of the tree, and Dai was bringing bowls and bowls of vegetables, all of which were produced in the mountain villa, fresh vegetables grown by himself, fatty fish from Baiyun Lake, and hares caught by traps on the mountain.

As soon as a few people served the bowls, Lin Yong and his wife, who had gone to the deli early in the morning to deliver the duck embryos, came back, Miao added dishes and chopsticks, and everyone waited for them to wash their hands before eating together.

"Uncle Yong, Ming'er Lin Dai is coming back." Du Mei ate some leek scrambled eggs, the leeks in this season are fragrant, with golden eggs, the color is bright and the taste is delicious.

He ...... What did he do wrong? Lin Yong was taken aback, apprentices usually can't go home unless something happens at home on weekdays, except for the Chinese New Year.

"He just got into trouble when he was studying, what kind of basket did he poke at this time?" You Shi slumped his face and almost cried.

"It's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's all because I didn't make it clear." Seeing the two of them like this, Du Mei hurriedly explained, "Lin Dai is going to follow me to the restaurant in Jiangling City to be the bookkeeper in the future, aren't you happy?" ”

"Ahh This news made Lin Yong and his wife surprised and excited, looked at each other, and turned from worry to joy for a while, and even the rest of the Lin family was happy for them.

"He has only been studying for a long time, I am just afraid that he will not have the ability to do this, and then he will fail the owner." Although You Shi was happy, he was a little uneasy after all.

"I asked him about his master, and the shopkeeper Dong said that he is smart and studious, and it is good to have this, where I am, whether it is Song Jiu or Ye Dan, or others, learn from them every day, and it will be amazing in the future." Du Mei said with a smile.

"I know, when he comes back tomorrow, I will tell him your words in detail!" You Shi looked grateful, Lin Dai was his only son, if they had a chance in the future, they would have to rely on them when they were old.

You Shi then said a lot of words of thanks, Lin Yong was stupid, he didn't know what to say for a while, but he was even more determined to follow Du Meigan in the future!

After eating, Du Meiluo sat down and was about to leave, Du Zhong was not at ease, so he rode a horse to give her a ride.

"Uncle Zhong, my mother and they came to Jiangling City in advance this time, and Uncle Zhong Yu will pick them up, the patriarch and Brother Shu, and I have to trouble you." On the official road outside the mountains and forests, Du Mei remembered to say.

"Where's your master?" Du Zhong asked.

"Master's back injury is just recovering from a long time, if he goes to Jiangling City this time, he will have to bump for most of the day, I'm just afraid that his waist can't bear it, and the eldest girl can't get out, I'll invite them alone in the future." Du Mei waved his hand.

"Okay, I'll arrange it, you be careful on your own road, enter the city early, don't miss the hour." Du Zhong raised his hand and admonished.

Du Mei hurried slowly, and finally entered Gangneung Castle when the sun went down, and the night came up in a blink of an eye, and the stars were shining one by one, hanging on the dark blue sky, and the late spring air was filled with the fragrance of blooming flowers, which was so rich that it was intoxicating.

The wharf in the shadows has long since lost the noise and bustle of the day, and the boats docked on the shore are lit up in the dim light, floating quietly on the river, like well-behaved children sleeping in the arms of their mothers.

The lights in the restaurant were on, through the window, smeared with a piece of burnt yellow, Du Mei walked here, only to feel warm and reassuring, the horse's hooves clicked, before she got off the horse and knocked on the door, Du Ying and Xiao Qi greeted together, Xiao Qi took the reins, and took the rouge horse to the stable to wash and feed the grass.

"Sister, you rest, dinner will be ready soon." Du Ying fetched Du Mei a basin of warm water to wash her face, and turned around to the kitchen to heat the dishes.

Du Mei washed his hands and cleaned his face, and the three sisters gathered around to eat, Du Mei asked, "How is Tianyi selling on the royal street today?" ”

"It sold very well, and he sent the money on purpose, in that cabinet." Xiao Qi pointed to the place where he put his money on weekdays.

"Sister, what day is the date of Uncle Scrap Manuscript?" Du Ying served soup to Du Mei and asked curiously.

"Xiaoman, when the time comes, Niang and Peaches will come in advance, and our family and Xiaoqi will go to the lively place together." Du Mei couldn't help but be happy when he thought of this.

"Really? My sister is the best. Du Ying's eyes widened and said excitedly.

"Song Jiu didn't come today." Du Mei ran around all day, and was a little tired, so he soaked in soup and ate it.

"He came at noon, and if you don't go back, he'll go back the next night." Du Ying put away the little joy in her heart and replied.

"Didn't he say anything?" Du Mei frowned.

"I asked, but he didn't say, it wasn't a big deal." Du Ying shook her head helplessly.

"He's probably here to ask about the date, anyway, there are still a few days to leave Zhang, I'll go sell snacks tomorrow, and then ask him." Du Mei thought for a moment and said.

Du Ying cleaned up the kitchen, Du Mei hurried to wash, and after a day of riding, her back and legs hurt, and she just wanted to rest early.

After a dreamless night, the sky was just white, and the horn on the dock sounded, and when she woke up, Du Mei was back to life, loaded the saltwater duck and snacks into the carriage, and she shook the wicker, and slowly walked to the small shop on the royal street in the morning light.

"Hey, why are you here?" Du Mei looked at Tianyi, who was waiting with his sleeves in front of the door, and asked with some surprise.

"Anyway, the restaurant hasn't opened, and I can't be idle, so I might as well come and help you chop the duck." Sun Tianyi smiled shyly.

"I've been floating on the river for several days, and I won't be comfortable eating, drinking, or sleeping, aren't you tired?" Du Mei opened the shop and said with a smile.

"I'm always young, I'll be fine if I sleep, but if I'm idle every day, I'm really uncomfortable." Sun Tianyi said, and helped Du Mei take the lo-mei off the carriage and put it neatly on the counter.

While speaking, there were already guests coming, Du Mei weighed and collected money, Sun Tianyi chopped salted duck, the two cooperated tacitly, and almost half of the time could be saved, so there were fewer people queuing up on the street.

"Tianyi, Uncle He also asked me, where have you been, as soon as I guess, I will know that you are here." Song Jiu looked at the person in front of the shop, walked over to take a look, and couldn't help clapping.

"What is Uncle He looking for me?" Sun Tianyi chopped a duck claw and looked up and asked.

"It's not a big deal, I see that you are doing well here, why don't you take over Du Mei to sell snacks here." Song Jiu took Du Mei's oiled paper bag and handed it to the guests outside.

"I'm just idle to help, where can I get involved in the owner's business!" Sun Tianyi blushed all of a sudden, and waved his hand again and again.
