"Can this watermelon really be planted on a large scale in Taiyuan? And the watermelons that produce are even better than those in the Western Regions? ”

Li Jiulang's face was a little surprised, and he confirmed to Tang Xiu again with some uncertainty.

The watermelons on the Tang Mansion that were sold by Tang Xiu for ten yuan a pound can be understood as a secret medicinal diet, although the taste and efficacy are not good, but the planting conditions must be extremely harsh, otherwise Tang Xiu would not sell them so expensive, and he also set the rule that non-acquaintances do not sell them, so far only Cheng Chuliang can buy watermelons from the Tang Mansion.

But now, when he heard that there were still a hundred acres of ordinary melon fields in the Tang Mansion, this couldn't help but make Li Jiulang a little overjoyed, feeling that it was really right to come out to visit Tang Xiu this time, otherwise how could he have heard such gratifying news?

The things that Dr. Si Nong in the Si Nong Academy have cultivated for more than ten years without results, and now they have been perfectly solved by a little gentleman, although he has not seen the real thing, and he has not eaten the ordinary watermelons that Tang Xiu said, but looking at Tang Xiu's confident and casual appearance, Li Jiulang naturally chose to believe it.

After all, there was no need for Tang Xiu at this time to tell this lie, it didn't do him any substantial benefits, and seeing that Tang Lu's kid looked eager to sell watermelons to them, he didn't seem to be afraid that he would send someone to Taiyuan to verify it, so the only explanation was that Tang Xiu had really mastered the secret of planting watermelons in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and had already grown the real thing.

"Of course." Tang Xiu nodded casually and said: "What's so difficult about just planting a few watermelons, as long as you master the right season and the right planting method, any tenant farmer can plant it." Of course, if you want to grow high-quality watermelons that are bigger and sweeter than watermelons in the Western Regions, you have to have seeds made by my Tang Mansion. ”

Li Jiulang nodded his head very agreeably, the difficulty of planting watermelons is difficult in the correct season and planting method, otherwise those people in the Si Nong Yuan would not have thought about planting for more than ten years and have not planted a few decent watermelons.

As for the seeds of watermelons, Li Jiulang didn't want the watermelons of the Tang Dynasty to be stronger than the watermelons of the Western Regions, as long as they could be equal to the watermelons of the Western Regions in terms of size and taste, he would be satisfied.

"Brother Tang," Li Jiulang called Tang Xiu very affectionately, then rubbed his hands and stared at Tang Xiu with burning eyes, and asked earnestly: "I don't know if your method of growing watermelons is willing to sell?" If you want, can you sell it to Brother Jiu and me? ”

"Don't worry," Afraid that Tang Xiu would have a misunderstanding, Li Jiulang said: "I don't want your kind of secret recipe, as long as the most ordinary and ordinary planting method, if Brother Tang is willing to sell, I am willing to pay five, no, one hundred thousand yuan to buy, how about it?" Do you want to think about it? ”

Li Jiulang's words fell, and immediately attracted Pei Cai'er, Wan'er and Tang Lu's angry eyes, they still regarded this Li Jiulang as a good person before, but they didn't expect this guy to open his mouth and want their Tang Mansion's treasure secret recipe that can make money, it is simply shameless!

This watermelon is their unique business in the Tang Mansion, how can it be sold out?

Tang Xiu was also stunned, but he was not as angry as Pei Cai'er and them, but looked at Li Jiulang with some surprise and said, "One hundred thousand guan, are you sure you want to spend one hundred thousand guan to buy only an ordinary melon planting method?" ”

Knowing that the price of watermelons in the future may only be twenty or even lower, Tang Xiu really couldn't understand what this Li Jiulang was trying to do at such a big price, if he really just wanted to eat melons, this 100,000 yuan was enough for him to eat high-quality watermelons for ten lifetimes, so why did he have to buy that ordinary method of growing melons?

"Not bad!" Seeing that Tang Xiu did not directly refuse, Li Jiulang's eyes lit up, and he hit the railway while it was hot: "If Brother Tang is willing to cut his love, I will have someone send the money to Brother Tang in the afternoon!" ”

"It's no problem to sell it to Brother Li, but I want to know what Brother Li bought this method for, is it just like my brother and me, and is he going to let the tenant farmers in the family grow melons and sell melons?"

Tang Xiu asked this purely out of curiosity, spending 100,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan in later generations, to buy the simplest way to grow melons, is this too much of a loser? Compared with the Li Jiu Brother in front of him, Tang Xiu felt that his identity as a loser was really a little unqualified.

"What do you have to plant, of course such a good thing is dedicated to the current emperor!" Li Jiulang said as a matter of course: "Since the beginning of Emperor Taizong, the imperial court has been asking the Si Nong Institute to develop a method for planting watermelons, but unfortunately it has had little effect for more than ten years. That's something you can't buy. ”

Without seeing a trace of envy on Tang Xiu's face, Li Jiulang's heart couldn't help but feel a little lost, and then said: "However, after the emperor gets this method, he will definitely try to promote the trial seed on a large scale in the whole territory of the Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that it will affect the business recognized by Brother Tang at that time, I hope Brother Tang will not mind when the time comes." ”

Hearing the reason and purpose of what Li Jiulang said, Tang Xiu nodded suddenly, it turned out that he was trying to pat the emperor's ass, no wonder he was so generous.

Hearing that Li Jiulang had some apologies because watermelons might be promoted, Tang Xiu waved his hand disappreciatively and said: "It's okay, it's okay, with Brother Li's 100,000 yuan, it's enough for me to squander my brother for several years, it should be that I thank Brother Li for giving me this opportunity to make a fortune." ”

"As for the watermelon business in my Tang Mansion, if it's just those ordinary watermelons, there is no threat to our Tang Mansion at all, Brother Li doesn't have to mind!"

The watermelon seeds brewed in Lingquan have more advantages than those watermelons grown from ordinary watermelon seeds at any time, as long as the taste is good enough, few rich people will care about the price.

If it weren't too troublesome, Tang Xiu would have even started a business of making watermelon seeds, and specializing in selling this kind of high-quality watermelon seeds should be much more profitable than simply selling watermelons.

"That's good, then I'll be relieved to be a brother."

Hearing Tang Xiu's words, the corners of Li Jiulang's mouth twitched a little, 100,000 yuan is not a small amount of money for a top wealthy family, put it in an ordinary family record, it is enough for his ancestors and grandchildren to eat and wear for more than ten generations, but listening to Tang Xiu's meaning is only enough for him to squander a few years, this is really not an ordinary loser!

It's no wonder that the original Tang Mansion was so poor that he couldn't open the pot, and with such a loser young master, how many families were not enough for him to lose.

But fortunately, although Tang Xiu is a loser, he is not very greedy for money, and his character is quite harmonious, he is not useless, if he can do a good job, he can be regarded as a good talent.

Although the purpose of this visit was not achieved, but I had a good meal, met some more interesting people, and more importantly, I also got the watermelon planting method that he had been asking for before, for Li Jiulang, the harvest of this trip can be described as quite rich.

After agreeing with Tang Xiu on the afternoon trading time, Li Jiulang took his two subordinates to Tang Xiu and left the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
