Chapter 144: Subtle Feelings
Lu'er had already returned to the kitchen, and was arranging with Shen Youfu for the maids to present the remaining ice jade plates one by one - it was time to share the golden melon with everyone.
This is also the most severe test that Shen Youfu has to accept.
The previous foreshadowing was already perfect, whether it was Ji Rou or Ye Lun, their expressions far exceeded Shen Youfu's expectations.
And even "Youqi" and Lu'er have successfully completed their tasks.
Only she needs to wait a little longer—
Seeing the maidservants rushing out and holding the delicate fruit saucer in front of everyone, Shen Youfu nervously held Lu'er's hand......
If someone tastes it at this time, they jump up on the spot and say it's unpalatable......
I don't know if these people's tastes don't like the taste of honeydew melon?
Shen Youfu almost wanted to cover her eyes with her hands, although she knew that as long as Ye Lun Gongzi sat on it, even if this melon was disappointing, they would definitely eat it with a smile. But after eating, I'm afraid there will be no next time.
When she was nervous, someone on the table couldn't help but try.
Master Zhao used a silver carved skewer to insert a piece of honeydew melon and put it in front of his eyes to look at it. The whole table looked at him, which made him a little embarrassed: "Look, eating a fruit is such a big thing...... It's really a good thing to pay tribute to Banzai! ”
The plate in front of him, the flowers on the plate, and the silver skewer in his hand alone were already very grand.
If it is presented to the northern capital, I don't know what this melon will be decorated into?
Old Master Zhao was half-jokingly talking to everyone, while Young Master Jin at the other table had already put the first piece of honeydew melon into his mouth.
Everyone at the table stared at him with wide eyes, waiting for him to tell him what was so special about this melon.
Before the honeydew melon was eaten, Young Master Jin was already drooling from the tempting fruity aroma. This one is put in the mouth. The fragrant and sweet taste fills the entire mouth in an instant......
He savoured the sweet and delicious flesh of the fruit.
This flesh tastes different from other fruits!
The smooth and soft taste, as he chewed, the luscious juice penetrated between his lips and teeth, and the indescribable aroma was even sweeter than honey!
The corners of Young Master Jin's mouth were always sweet to his heart, thinking that the emperor would eat such a delicious meal later than himself, and it was even more rare that he almost swallowed it with his tongue!
"Delicious! It's so delicious! ”
With a shout from Young Master Jin. Master Zhao began to regret a little at the adjacent table that he didn't taste it first.
He also hurriedly put it in his mouth first. What is different from Young Master Jin's feeling is that the piece that Master Zhao eats has an elegant and light fragrance. The characteristic aroma of honeydew melon. As he chewed, the juice filled his mouth, making him feel more delicate and refreshing than he had ever felt before.
"Wonderful! It's wonderful! Master Zhao never put down the silver skewer in his hand at all, and directly reached out to get the second one!
A mat. That's just a small plate......
Seeing that Master Zhao and Young Master Jin were like this, the others were no longer polite.
Everyone picked up the silver sticks prepared next to the ice jade plate. Reach for the plate.
The fruit plate made by Shen Youfu and Lu'er was not very big in the first place, and the plate was covered with flowers around it......
The small pile of pulp in the middle is enough for everyone to barely take a bite!
So after this round of scramble. Because some people ate two or three pieces, some people didn't even eat a piece at all!
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Young Master Jin glared at a young man on his seat: "I just said to let you sit down, why are you eating with you!?" ”
The boy blushed. At first, he just planned to rub the table, and he really didn't plan to grab fruit from others to eat...... But that's all in front of you. He couldn't help it!
"Young Master Jin, don't be annoyed...... Otherwise, after the feast is over, I will discuss with this host and buy a piece that you and I will share!? ”
"It's pretty much that, but ...... Alas, I'm afraid it's not easy to buy, right? Won't it be very valuable? ”
The problem of Young Master Jin's table has also become everyone's problem.
Even the two Lord Zhang and Master Li around Ye Lun frequently asked Ye Lun.
Ye Lun naturally knew everything, but what he said was all made up - the price that Miss Shen Qi had given for this melon was one hundred taels of silver a plate, and it was only sold in this Zhuangzi......
Ye Lun thought for a while: "Don't hide it from the two adults, there are not many of these things, just to pay tribute to the northern capital, you have to transport more than half of it—you can't take the lonely one to give it to the Long Live Lord, right?" There are also harems and officials! ”
When Ye Lun said this, the people with ears pricked up all around understood it, and if they wanted to eat more, I am afraid it would be impossible!
Just when everyone was extremely regretful, Ye Lun said in a low voice: "The rest is not nothing, it's just that I gave it to the two adults today, and others will ask for it tomorrow, but I am embarrassed to refuse...... Otherwise, it's still the old rule, one hundred and fifty taels, fair trade, and it will stop when it is sold out! ”
The price of one hundred and fifty taels is actually not expensive for people who have not spent a penny and enter with an invitation - at least it is much better than the kind of priceless and marketable that Young Master Jin imagined.
Everyone didn't think about it for long, and they asked for another one after another, and some even took out the silver ticket on the spot and asked for a few more!
After all, this rare thing, who knows if there will be anything to eat in the future?
This is true for those who are sitting, and even more so for those who are standing!
Most of the people who didn't have seats in the back were some wealthy merchants in Jing'an City - for these people, it cost a hundred taels of silver, and when they saw Miss Xirou listen to the piano and enjoy the banquet, it was enough to talk about it when they went back!
It's a great deal for them.
But since they are all here, watching the people in front of them eating lively, who doesn't want to have a taste?
Then a voice from the crowd asked, "We also have money, can we give us a share too?" ”
…… Of course!
Shen Youfu was in the kitchen, arranging for the maidservant to quickly send out the rest of the fruit plates, and then exchange them for a steady stream of silver and silver tickets!
She's been tested!
It doesn't matter if someone says it's delicious or not.
What matters is the silver, though it is unbearable. But when it's not clear whether something really matters or not, you can immediately know its weight when you convert it into real money.
Everyone is willing to pay money, which is the real recognition of her golden melon, and the income beyond her imagination proves that everyone's happiness is not fake.
Shen Youfu counted the tickets with a smile.
This time, more than 7,000 taels of ticket silver were collected, and now they are selling honeydew melons. Because Boya raised the price of fifty taels. Shen Youfu instantly had more than four thousand taels in his hand.
Even Shen Youfu herself was not stunned.
Sure enough, big investment has big gains!
I want to be at the beginning. Buying seeds, land, and people, almost all the thousands of taels of Jingting Gongzi were spent...... She has been worried that it will take a lot of time to earn it back in the days that follow......
Now it seems. Her worries were completely unfounded.
Of the more than 10,000 taels of silver, more than 500 taels were to be given to Yelun Gongzi - this was the half of the profit they had negotiated before.
There are also five hundred taels of hard-earned money to give Miss Xirou.
The rest, minus the nearly three thousand taels that Shen Youfu invested at the beginning...... She actually had a surplus of nearly seven thousand taels of silver!
Compared to the old lady's one hundred taels of silver, she was so happy that she wanted to jump up. Shen Youfu was about to feel that she was dreaming again.
And it's just a one-handed deal!
Next. This grange is famous, and in the future, there will be an endless stream of people who eat and live here, and the silver is not counted!
Shen Youfu smiled from ear to ear. Continuing to arrange things in the kitchen.
…… After these people finished eating the honeydew melon, there was a well-prepared meal to greet everyone...... After all, a banquet can't just give people a small bite of fruit and it's over. This goes forward, even if there is no honeydew melon. She can still rely on this Zhuangzi to do business!
Lu'er led the maidservant to serve the food one by one, and Shen Youfu was still lying behind the kitchen door and secretly looked out.
Yellen sat on the throne with his sleeves fluttering. It's really pleasing to the eye...... It's a pity that he hasn't looked here for a long time - Shen Youfu really can't help it, and he can't wait to run out now and count the money in front of Ye Lun Gongzi.
If Ye Lun Gongzi knew that they had made so much money in one fell swoop, he would be very happy, right!?
Here, most of it is really due to him!
…… You can't be stingy, in addition to the half-cent profit that he said before that he would give Ye Lun's son, and a honeydew melon with seeds, Shen Youfu decided to give Ye Lun another 1,000 taels, just as a reward for him to help him raise the price just now!
Shen Youfu was meticulous here, but Ye Lun didn't think of it so much.
He just thought that this qiē was so interesting!
His father, Zhaoning Concubine, used to be a merchant. Yellen still remembers the sermons of those merchants he always talked about, and often said, "The process of earning silver is the process of earning people's hearts." And he said, "A merchant who does not understand the heart of the man is not worthy to be called a true merchant." ”
He has heard a lot of such words since he was a child, and he has also learned to make all kinds of transactions with people, and he has experienced the joy of trading - such as using a handkerchief in exchange for He Jingting having to buy peace with silver......
But now, looking at the pomp and circumstance in front of me. A subtle feeling appeared in Ye Lun's heart, as if he had really touched the meaning of his father's words.
's father was a world-famous businessman back then, and the Ye family was also the number one imperial businessman in the world before it became an accessory of the princess's mansion.
However, his father's teachings were not as shocking and understanding as the banquet in front of him......
It is not so much the credit of the banquet in front of her, but the credit of Miss Shen Qi. (To be continued)
