Moreover, the watermelon tasted very good, better than all the watermelons he had ever eaten. Even if it's a little more expensive than last year, it's better to be on the market early, it tastes good, and it's worth spending a little more.

Seeing Steward Zheng say this, Uncle Yang knew that the matter was mostly done, and the price could not be low. When my sister's family is really difficult, if you sell watermelons, you can get some income, and you can also make your sister's family live a little better.

My sister's life is too hard, and now she jumps out of the fire pit, as long as she survives this time, the future life will be better.

"I also tried to plant it, but I didn't want it to grow so well, and it is estimated that there are one or two hundred at home, which is not much." The uncle of the Yang family replied that if he knew that it would grow so well, all the open space in front of his sister's house should be replanted with watermelons.

Steward Zheng nodded and said, "Well, since you came to me, I will naturally help you, and I can't eat your watermelon for nothing." You send thirty of them over tomorrow, thirty pounds. ”

Thirty wen a catty, that twenty catties of big watermelon, will cost six hundred wen, and two will have one or two silver. In this way, my sister's watermelon can be sold for a lot of money.

"Thank you, big butler, for the point." The uncle of the Yang family hurriedly thanked him, and when he sold the money, he would definitely give Steward Zheng a little more benefit.

Uncle Yang doesn't want the restaurant to sell things directly and sell watermelons at a high price. It's just that doing business in ancient times was not simple, especially food, and if you want to sell it in a big place such as a restaurant, you need to protect people. This is to prevent that if something goes wrong with eating, you can find the person in charge.

Just like in modern times, no matter how good your things are, if you don't know the purchasing manager of a five-star hotel, you will take a basket of vegetables and a basket of watermelons and put them in the lobby of someone's house, and not only will not be accepted, but also will call the security guard.

The uncle of the Yang family went back happily, and the remaining half of the watermelon was cut by Steward Zheng and sent to Master Zheng and Mrs. Zheng in person.

At this time, the lady and the lord will definitely enjoy the cool in the gazebo, the lady will settle the account, and the lord will recite poems. Steward Zheng pondered for a while, and then decided to go over to see the lady and the master now and talk about the watermelon.

Seeing Steward Zheng coming over with a watermelon, Mrs. Zheng was very surprised, and even her eyes lit up, and she said, "Oh, Uncle Zheng, this watermelon looks good, where did you buy it?" "According to previous experience, now is not the time for watermelons to go on the market, where did Steward Zheng get the watermelons!

Master Zheng stopped painting, walked over, and praised: "There is a watermelon at this time, it's really rare, in previous years, it was estimated that it would take half a month to eat watermelon." ”

"This is sent by the brothers of the Nadu family who used to repair the furniture and houses at home, and I thank the lord and the lady for their kindness." Steward Zheng said with a smile, "I originally thought it wouldn't be too delicious, but the old slave had the courage to taste it, and it tasted really good, so I quickly brought it to Mrs. and Master to taste." ”

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she also knew about the pair of brothers, so she nodded and said, "Then I want to taste it, if it tastes good, we will buy more and give it to people who are familiar with it." "As a housekeeper's wife, I know what time to give a gift. Now it's hot, and there is a watermelon to send, which is very appropriate.

Hearing this, he fell into the arms of Steward Zheng.

Master Zheng took a piece first, tasted it, and didn't have time to praise it, so he ate a piece in a few bites and said, "It tastes so good, madam, you hurry up and taste it." ”

When Mrs. Zheng saw that her husband, who had always been demanding of eating, praised her husband loudly, she picked up a piece of watermelon and ate a piece.

"Oh, it's better than the watermelons I ate before, hurry up, Steward Zheng, let the brothers of the Nadu family send some more, the price is high, let him give us all of them." If there is not much, keep it for your own home or give it away; If there are a lot of them, they can be sold in our restaurant, and they are also the first share. Mrs. Zheng explained that her husband didn't care about the housework, so she could only bother more and fancy the business opportunities of watermelons.

Steward Zheng was delighted and asked cautiously: "This watermelon is earlier than others, what is the price?" ”

"For the sake of the watermelon market in the morning, if you only sell it to us, you will give 40 yuan a catty, and when other watermelons are on the market, it will be 30 yuan a catty." The price of the unique business is a little higher, but it can also bring her huge benefits and profits, and the most important thing is to make the name of the restaurant. No one has me, no one has me, this is the invincible law of doing business and making money.

"Madame is kind-hearted, the brothers of the Du family will send thirty watermelons tomorrow, if there are still ones at home, I will let him continue to send more." Steward Zheng said, raising the ten cents, presumably the Du family brothers will also give him a lot of benefits.

"Uncle Zheng is just thoughtful, with you, my housekeeper also saves a lot of worry." Mrs. Zheng praised and said, praising the old housekeeper at home, and this housekeeper Zheng is loyal to the old lady and her husband, and it is best to appease her.

"Uncle Zheng has been at home for so many years, and I have seen the heart of the Zheng family." Master Zheng also praised him, his father died early, and if it wasn't for Uncle Zheng being outside, the family's business probably wouldn't be able to be saved.

Seeing that the old lady praised him so much, Steward Zheng said modestly: "Where, where, this is the duty of the old slave." ”

After saying a few words, Steward Zheng had other things to do, so he retired.

Mrs. Zheng took out a piece of paper, wrote several families, and said, "Master, my son is studying in Fuzhou, let's give my son's teacher a few watermelons?" ”

Master Zheng thought about it carefully and said, "Send two to my son, and then send two watermelons to my son's teacher, Mr. Wang." This watermelon is very large and precocious, which is considered a piece of our heart. My classmate Zhou Xuezheng in Fuzhou sent four of them, and my son was selected in the future, and he needed his recommendation. There are also a few close friends, each sent two, and in the county, the county order sent a few more, and the others can be done by yourself. ”

"Oh, this calculation, thirty watermelons is really not enough, tomorrow the Du family brothers come over, I have to ask in person." Mrs. Zheng said in a deep voice, giving gifts, naturally giving things that others like. Now that the weather is dry and sultry, eating watermelon and feeling comfortable is not a good gift for summer?

If you have a request for someone, secretly give some heavy gifts. Now it's just a gift on weekdays, a few watermelons, even if others know, they won't say that they are corrupt and bribery.

The uncle of the Yang family came out of the Zheng family, passed near the school hall in the county seat, and according to the address that the Yang family got from the Liu family, he went to Du Changshun's eldest son's house and sent two watermelons.

Yang didn't think about it before, but Yang Fugui brought it up.

Watermelons are very expensive nowadays, but they can't all be sold. Yang Fugui saw that Du Changhe was confused, but Du Changshun was a person who could carry it clearly. With such an elder brother here, Du Changhe will not mess around, and will try his best to manage his family. Nadu Changshun and Liu's take more care of their daughter's family, often sending snacks and so on.
