After a few days, the cold second came to tell Du Xiaoli, they prepared a carriage again, if she wants to go to the county to sell fruit, they can borrow.
Du Xiaoli was happy for a while. She was cooking oranges in the past two days but she didn’t have a carriage. It’s good now. So that afternoon, she and Luo Qi went to pick a piggyback, and went to the county town the next morning.
Driving is still cold. This time, without Han Ming, they have a little more than Luo Qi. Since the last time Du Xiaoli was in danger, as long as she was going to a farther place, Luo Qi was with her.
The same is true today.
In order to prevent Luo Qi from being discovered, Du Xiaoli moved on his face, so his eyebrows were thick, his skin was rough, and he was darkened. He also had a mustache and put on Du Hai’s original clothes, even It is a familiar person who does not recognize it and can't recognize it.
When I arrived at the fruit market, I went to the place to stop the carriage, and Luo Qi helped her quilt behind Du Xiaoli.
When Du Xiaoli came to the fruit market, he immediately felt that the atmosphere was different from the last time. She came to the last booth, just took out the cloth, and the uncle next door talked to her: "Little girl, have you not come here in the past few days?"
"There was something in the house. I couldn’t get away from it. I didn’t come over." Du Xiaoli took the orange out and set it up, answering the uncle’s words.
"Do you still have the same price as the last time?" Uncle asked.
"No, this time is fifteen copper plates a pound." Du Xiaoli replied.
"How come five more copper plates?" Uncle thought of something, frowning and asking.
"Yeah, the last time it was sold because of the first time, everyone has never seen this fruit, so it is cheaper." Du Xiaoli said.
"Then you..." The middle-aged uncle had not finished talking, and he saw the red sister and several middle-aged women coming in from the outside and went straight to Du Xiaoli.
"Little girl, why didn't you come a few days ago?" asked the red sister.
"Amount, there is something in my family." Du Xiaoli repeated the words just now.
"The oranges I bought last time are very delicious. My grandfather and I like them too much, so I have divided them. My lady wants to eat when she doesn't have it, and urges us to buy it. We have not seen it for several times. Your person is really anxious to die for us." Red sister said, "My wife said that if you came, let you go to the house with me, the lady has something to ask you."
"Mrs. want to see me?!" Du Xiaoli said with some surprise.
"Yes." Red sister said, "Let's go with us. These oranges are moved to the house."
When I heard the instructions of the Red Sister, a woman came up and took the oranges directly into the back, and then a group of people left.
The middle-aged uncle saw Du Xiaoli, and they left like this. They shot on the thigh and said, "How come they come so fast! Hey, good opportunity to miss this!"
Du Xiaoli followed the red sister to the residence of the county magistrate, entered from the back door, passed through several small courtyards, and went to the front main courtyard.
"Red sister, you can come back, my wife is urging it! Hurry in." Du Xiaoli had no time to carefully observe the environment here, and a woman who was dressed up like a red sister from the yard, saw them and urged them.
"I know." Red sister should have a voice, let Luo Qi and Leng Er wait outside the yard, and they took Du Xiaoli into the yard and went directly to the middle room.
"Mrs., the slave brought the little girl who sold the orange." Red plum went in and woke up to the woman sitting by the window and said.
"This is a place to find someone." Mrs. Li Xuemei heard the words of Hongmei, turned to God and sat down, watching Du Xiaoli ask: "Is she?"
Du Xiaoli saw this Li Xuemei, about two or sixty-six years old, wearing a lily hairstyle, with two golden plaques on it, a loose dress, thinking that it was so comfortable because of pregnancy, a pair of Danfeng eyes let her whole person Smart light.
"Return to my wife, yes." Hongmei replied.
"Bold people, seeing the lady still not ritual?" A niece behind Li Xuemei saw Du Xiaoli did not know the salute, he scolded.
"Ah? Oh, madam, hello." Du Xiaoli said to Li Xuemei.
"You..." The prostitute still wanted to say something. Li Xuemei raised her hand and said, "Forget it, it is a child."
"Yes, ma'am." The niece blessed her body and replied.
"Small sister, don't be afraid, I am calling you today just to ask you a few questions." Li Xuemei said.
"Mrs. I ask." Du Xiaoli saw that Li Xuemei was very kind, not as terrible as Xiaocui said last time.
"What is your name? Who are there at home? Is this orange grown in your own home? Why haven't you seen this fruit before?" Li Xuemei asked for an orange.
The oranges were separated from them when they entered the house. I didn't expect to have sent her over so soon.
Du Xiaoli nodded and said, "My name is Du Xiaoli. I am at home with my brother. This orange was grown in the mountains. Later I was found to be able to eat, and I planted it myself."
"Only you and your brother? How old are you? How come you sell oranges, not your brother?" Li Xuemei asked.
"My brother is now studying in the school in the county, so I only have to sell oranges." Du Xiaoli replied.
"Does someone else have a species?" Li Xuemei asked.
"No." Du Xiaoli returned.
"How much is your family like this orange?" Li Xuemei continued to ask.
"Thousands of children and eight hundred pounds." Du Xiaoli estimated the number of oranges on the tree, said.
"Oh? So much?" Li Xuemei's finger was pounding on the rocking chair. It seemed to be thinking about what the problem was. After a while, he said to Du Xiaoli: "Your oranges don't sell to others, all of them are reserved for me, the price. Will not treat you badly, how?"
Du Xiaoli saw Li Xuemei's appearance not to discuss with himself. It just meant to inform her about it. When she thought about selling it to someone who was not selling, she nodded and said, "Thank you."
"If necessary, I will inform you in advance, and you will tell your sister about your address."
"Yes, ma'am." Du Xiaoli replied with a clever answer and asked: "I don't know if the lady wants to be sour or sweet?"
What is the difference?
Li Xuemei asked Du Xiaoli.
"It’s such a lady. If you want to eat sour, it’s just right at this time. At the end of August and early September, the oranges will start to sweeten, and by mid-September, they will be sweet like honey.
Du Xiaoli explained.
"There is still some attention." Li Xuemei looked at the orange in his hand and turned around in his hand and said, "I know, go back. Xiaohong, send her out."
"Yes, ma'am!" Red sister came over from the side and said to Du Xiaoli: "Little sister, come with me."
"Mrs. Goodbye." Du Xiaoli smiled at Li Xuemei and then left the yard with the red sister.
In a short while, a man wearing a government official came in, it is the county magistrate Sun Zheng of Zhou County.
"Master." Everyone in the house bowed to Sun Zheng.
Li Xuemei also got up from the rocking chair and greeted him. He asked, "Why did the master come back so early today?"
Sun is touching Li Xuemei's stomach and said, "Come back and get something. Just listened to people saying that you let the oranges that sold the oranges be sold to you? Even if you like it, people buy it, how to buy it. many?"
Li Xuemei patted Sun Zheng’s hand and said,
Master, you forgot, the lady of the prefecture is pregnant, and now the sour fruit is almost out of season. If we send this orange to the prefect, there is no one recently. Is it useful to transfer the official position? Let's say that this orange is also a rare fruit, and it is quite special for other officials."
"It’s still the lady’s thoughtful.
Sun Zheng said with a smile,
Mr.
"The lord is relieved, and all of them are considered." Li Xuemei said, he took an orange and peeled it and gave it to Sun Zheng.
