"Will this work?" Xu Shi said a little worriedly.

"If the deposit is not enough, I ask him to borrow some. Anyway, our screen will be embroidered, and then we will pay him back, and I think he is also a good talker. Du Mei tilted his head to look at the embroidery frame.

His mother had already embroidered half of the third painting of the three friends of the old man, and her red-cloaked girl only had a plum blossom on the corner that was not embroidered.

"The family suddenly bought a big animal, and no one put it down, mainly because they added a mouth to eat food." Xu Shi thought about it and said.

"Mother, don't worry, Brother Shu and I can herd ducks, and you can also herd cattle by the way." Du Ying shook Xu's arm.

"As for the food that the cow eats, of course, it has to earn it by itself. There are not a few people like us who have a few acres of land but no cattle at home. During the busy season, the cattle are rented out, and the money earned by plowing and plowing the fields is enough for them to chew for a year. Du Mei has already calculated clearly in her heart, other people's families can rely on cattle to earn money to feed their families, she just wants to earn some money to feed a cow, this should not be a difficult thing.

"Since you've decided, go for it." Xu Shi saw that Du Mei was thoughtful and not on a whim, so he agreed.

Du Mei counted the silver coins in the corner of the wall. There were more than 300 yuan in the family, and the deposit for the screen last time was more than one hang, and she earned more than three hangs these days, a total of more than five hangs.

She took out 5 hangings, found a handkerchief to wrap it, and carried it in tomorrow's burden. He wrapped up the remaining 500 buns and hid them in a corner again.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Du Mei carried the burden and set off with Du Gui. She didn't bring the stove back yesterday, she had to go and make the fire early.

"Plums." Not far from Du Mei's departure from the village, she heard Du Zhong calling her from behind.

"Uncle Zhong, you're really early." Du Mei turned around with a smile, and Du Gui also called Uncle Zhong obediently.

"I'll pick." Du Zhong handed Du Mei a small package on his shoulder, and couldn't help but say that he took Du Mei's burden.

"Little sister, I'll carry you, you can sleep for a while." Du Mei yawned when she saw Du Gui, and said half-squatting down in front of her.

"I can walk, I can go fast." Du Gui held his small chest and walked forward quickly.

"Okay, okay, I'll carry you half the way, and you can walk the rest by yourself." Du Mei coaxed her.

"Okay." Du Gui's yawns were one after the other, and his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg.

Du Gui climbed onto Du Mei's back in three times and two times, the eldest sister's back was not wide, but it was very warm. Du Mei crossed her hands to support her, and after a while Du Gui fell asleep.

"Uncle Zhong, I'm going to buy an ox cart." Du Mei and Du Zhong walked side by side.

"Oxcarts? Do you know how much a cow sells for? Du Zhong looked at Du Mei sideways.

"How much does a cow sell for?" Du Mei asked rhetorically without answering.

"It's not the busy season now, and a cow will cost ten dollars to say the least!" Du Zhong pressed the accent of his speech on "Ten Hanging Money".

"Oh." Du Mei replied softly.

Du Zhong saw that Du Mei was neither refuted nor afraid, he hung his head and didn't know what he was thinking, he was a man of few words, so he stopped talking.

Du Gui didn't wake up halfway, and went all the way into the market, where the wheat fragrance of steamed buns and the fishy smell of fish were mixed, which woke her up. Du Zhong rested his burden in front of the stall and went to Yunshang Embroidery Village.

The two sisters worked hard to burn the stove for a while, and the soup in the bowl was boiled yesterday, and when it boiled, it was ready to be sold.

Mei Kee Restaurant opened yesterday, and three groups of people came, and it was passed on by the townspeople, and it became famous for a while. There is an endless stream of people who come to eat today, and Du Mei and Du Gui are busy sitting together

There was no work.

The food was quickly sold out, and Du Mei had to close early. She instructed Du Gui Haosheng to look at the storefront, and she took the package to Yunshang Embroidery Village to find Ye Dan.

Ye Qing was greeting in the store, and when he saw Du Mei coming, he hurriedly left the guest and greeted him.

"Sister Meizi, my brother is inside. Sit down and wait for me. Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Okay." Du Mei leaned on the counter and watched Ye Qing do business. To say that Ye Qing is still quite business-minded, after a while, he helped the guests choose a satisfactory and suitable silk handkerchief.

"Meizi, come and drink tea, good Liangzhou black tea." Ye Dan is cooking tea.

Ye Qing took Du Mei to sit down, Ye Dan handed each of them a cup of brown-red tea, Du Mei took a sip, sure enough, it was different from the green tea drunk on weekdays, the entrance was slightly bitter, and then sweet, with a smooth taste.

"Shopkeeper Ye, take a look at the puppet this time." After a cup of tea, Du Mei spoke.

"Okay." Ye Dan got up and went to the big case.

On the big case, the package was opened, revealing more than ten puppets, in addition to the six small foxes, there was also a pair of cute Fu pigs, this pair is not exactly the same, a Fu Pig sideburns with a small flower, the other Fu Pig with a top hat, at a glance is a couple of Fu Pigs. The lucky pig has the meaning of attracting wealth. It is most suitable for making gifts.

In addition, there are small monkeys, calves and the like, three in a group, two in a pair, each is not the same, all are the best products.

Ye Qing's eyes were glazed, and he didn't know if it was good to take that.

"Each of these is unique." Du Mei drew a circle with his hand and circled the puppet in it.

"That's great, Umeko!" Ye Dan picked up a fire fox in his hand, and these looked really more delicate than last time.

"Look, what's so special about it?" Du Mei smiled, so mysterious.

"Is there anything special about it?" Ye Dan turned the fire fox over and over again, but he didn't see anything.

"Oh, here." Ye Qing's eyes were sharp, and he saw a small plum character in the hanging ears of the lucky pig in his hand, which was exactly the same as the plum character on the store sign, but it was a little different from what he couldn't tell.

"How could I not find it." Ye Dan said with a smile, it's a bit like hide and seek.

"Under its tail." Du Mei kindly reminded.

"Heh, it's so detailed, this is the only one you say?" Ye Dan stared at the plum word.

"Yes, if I hadn't said it, you wouldn't have bothered to look for it." Du Mei nodded.

"It's a good idea. Only those with this word are the authentic products of Luomei Xuan. Ye Dan touched the word approvingly.

"Brother, sign a contract with Sister Meizi quickly, I can't wait to see Luo Meixuan sing and sell." Ye Qing urged.

"Yes, yes, I signed the contract last time, just waiting for you to write your name." Ye Dan took the contract and put it in front of Du Mei.

Du Mei picked up the contract, the content of the front, she probably glanced at it, she was thinking about buying an ox cart in her heart, and carefully looked at the deposit part at the back, which was actually empty!

"This ...... Isn't there a deposit? Du Mei only felt that he couldn't get up in one breath, couldn't he buy an ox cart today!

"It's not that there is no deposit, but it's negotiable, how much do you want?" King Yan specially took care of it, this place is empty, and Du Mei has to agree to as much as he wants. In Ye Dan's eyes, even if there is no command from King Yan, just with Du Mei's puppet, he can give as much as he wants.

"I want to buy an ox cart, but I only have five hangings." Dumay didn't know to buy an ox cart yet

How much does it cost at the bottom. But listening to Du Zhong's tone, it must be very expensive.

"Oxcarts? It's better to buy a horse-drawn carriage, which can run fast and steadily. Ye Qing said without thinking.

"Carriage, how expensive it is, you have to report to the county government to buy a horse, besides, the horse has to eat concentrate, and you can't go down to the field to pull the plow." Du Mei's eyes darkened.

"The carriage costs one hundred taels of silver, and the ox cart costs more than ten or twenty taels, brother, you can give Sister Meizi twenty taels." Ye Qing continued.

"No, no, no, I only need the money for an ox cart, and if I have more, my family can't hold it." Du Mei thought about the courtyard wall of the house and the strange relatives, and shook his head helplessly.

"You can't write the deposit on it It's an ox cart, so let's do it, you and Uncle Zhong go to choose the ox and the frame, Ye Qing is responsible for paying, and then write the money on it, count it as a deposit, what do you think?" Ye Dan thought about it and said.

"Can this be?" Du Mei smiled with a smile on his face, a sense of relief.

"Of course." Ye Dan also smiled. Don't say that Du Mei wants an ox cart, she just wants a shop in town, and his master will not hesitate to agree.

Du Zhong was washing horses in the backyard, listened to Du Mei's words, didn't say a word, packed up his things, and went straight to the tooth shop in the town.

At this time, the busy season has passed, and no one cares about the cattle in the tooth shop. As soon as the boss heard that Du Zhong said that he wanted to buy an ox cart, he immediately greeted him with a smile and took him to the backyard to see.

Du Zhong looked at the fur and four hooves of four or five cows one by one, and because no one wanted them, the owner of the tooth shop was reluctant to feed them, and all of them lost their fat, so thin that their bones were propped up.

"These are good cows, if they are fed well for two days, they will naturally get fat." Seeing that Du Mei and Ye Qing were half-grown children, the owner of the tooth shop boasted to himself.

Du Zhong ignored him, he opened the cow's mouth and touched his teeth. I have a number in my heart.

When the boss of the dental store saw the inconspicuous Du Zhong of the helper doing this, he knew that he had met an expert, and he also took the opportunity to rip off customers in his heart, and treated it seriously.

"Boss, how do you sell this?" After repeated comparisons, Du Zhong took a fancy to the first two-year-old heifer.

"Dan Dan." The boss of the tooth shop gritted his teeth and reported the number, he wanted to make a move as soon as possible, so as not to raise it for nothing, and he would have to spend food.

"What did he say?" Du Mei didn't understand.

"It's jargon, it's eleven dollars. It's not a horizontal line under the word. Ye Qing whispered to Du Mei like an insider.

"Be polite, boss, morning, do you think it's okay?" Du Zhong made a counteroffer.

"Uncle Zhong is talking about ten hanging money?" Du Mei asked Ye Qing casually, and Ye Qing gave her a thumbs up.

"Oh, brother, you know, it's not easy to do business now, one less Dan, I'll lose money." The boss of the tooth shop said with a bitter face.

"Boss, if you don't sell it to me now, I'm afraid you will lose even more in the future." Du Mei already understood the meaning of the jargon, and she naturally couldn't embarrass Du Zhong, who was not good at words.

"What do you mean, girl?" The boss of the tooth shop carefully observed the three people, and when he saw Du Mei making a counteroffer, he knew that this was the one who paid the money.

"Boss, what do you think, now that everything is fine in the fields, the next busy season will have to wait for many months, and there is still summer in between. Now that you cattle have become thin like this, are you sure you can survive the hot summer and raise a body of fat when the rice is harvested? Du Mei looked at the face of the owner of the tooth shop.

She paused and then said: "Why don't you sell it to me now, and then sell cattle in the autumn, which will not only save you trouble, but also save food, and the money is in your hands, so naturally you should choose and buy well." 2k reading network
