Tang Xiu's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Tang Lu with appreciation.

If Tang Lu didn't mention it, the hundred acres of ordinary watermelons really made him forget, calculating the time, it was indeed time to blossom and bear fruit, and there was more than half a month to designate to kill and eat.

Although the taste of those watermelons will be worse than those in the Taoyuan Pavilion, after all, they are seeds soaked in spiritual spring water, and the watermelons produced are designated to be much larger and sweeter than those foreign melons in the Western Regions.

And the watermelon is now in the Tang Dynasty, it is still a relatively rare thing, many people just want to eat it and have no way, so Tang Xiu is not as worried about the sales of watermelons as Tang Lu, because Tang Xiu knows that the 100 acres of watermelons in their field, as long as they are thrown on the market, the price is set slightly cheaper, and the designation is in short supply, 100 acres of land, hundreds of thousands of catties of watermelons, just one city in Taiyuan can almost be consumed, and there is no need to think about transporting them to other places to sell.

"What else to buy? It's customary to withdraw money. Tang Xiu reprimanded Tang Lu softly, and then looked at Li Jiulang with a smile and said, "Brother Li and I hit it off at first sight, wouldn't it be over if you directly gave Brother Li a few thousand catties of watermelon?" ”

"Li rest assured, although the taste of the 100 acres of watermelons in the younger brother is a little worse than that in Zhuangzi, it is definitely thousands of times better than those transported from the Western Regions." Tang Xiu said: "If it is inconvenient for Brother Li to leave Chang'an, leave an address for the younger brother, and when we go back in a few days, the younger brother and I will make a special trip to send Brother Li three to five thousand catties of watermelons for Brother Li to try." ”

Although the ** family did not do anything substantial to save themselves, after all, they did their best, and Tang Xiu was still willing to give them hundreds of watermelons.

"Three or five thousand catties, but there are hundreds of them, and the young master is too generous." Tang Lu muttered in a low voice, his face was distressed, the young master said that he would give it away, and he was really so loser, he didn't take money seriously at all.

Tang Lu's voice was very small, and ordinary people couldn't hear it clearly, but none of the people sitting there were ordinary people.

Tang Xiu, Pei Cai'er, Wan'er, Xiao Lao and the black-clothed guards are all masters among the martial artists, as long as they pay attention, the wind and grass outside can easily enter their ears, not to mention that they are only a stone's throw away from Tang Lu now, and Tang Lu's words can't hide their ears at all.

And Li Jiulang, the only one who is not very proficient in martial arts, is also a master of observing faces, although he didn't hear what Tang Lu muttered in his mouth, but looking at Tang Lu's distressed and reluctant expression, he could roughly guess that the three or five thousand catties of watermelon that Tang Xiu said was probably not cheap.

"There's no need to send it down." Li Jiulang continued: "I'm not used to taking advantage of others for nothing, if it's really sweeter than those watermelons in the Western Regions, I will buy it from Brother Tang at the price of melons shipped from the Western Regions, how much does it cost per catty of watermelons?" ”

"And don't ask Brother Tang to arrange someone to send to Chang'an, when Brother Tang leaves, I will send two people to Taiyuan with Brother Tang, and when the time comes, I will let them bring enough coils, and don't count three thousand catties and five thousand catties, just make up the whole, first transport 10,000 catties to me to taste a fresh, if you eat well, I will send someone to Taiyuan every year in the future to pick it up."

A pound of consistent money, open your mouth to ask for 10,000 catties, this is the rhythm of a big dog, it's really domineering.

Tang Lu smiled when he heard this, such a rich lord really didn't slaughter for nothing, 10,000 yuan, even if the remaining watermelons were all rotten in the ground, they would return to their roots.

Xiao Lao and the black-clothed guards behind Li Jiulang were anxious, although 10,000 yuan was nothing to his son-in-law, but no matter how rich he was, he couldn't come out to be the wronged leader? Just now, Tang Lu muttered a few hundred guan money, if five thousand catties only need a few hundred guan money, ten thousand catties will be a thousand yuan. Their son-in-law opened his mouth and gave a price of 10,000 yuan, which is really a bit high.

However, on such an occasion, it was really inconvenient for them to say a word to remind them, so they could only do so to watch his son-in-law being taken advantage of by Tang Xiu and his party.

"Always a pound of money?" Tang Xiu couldn't help but shake his head lightly when he heard this, and said with a laugh: "Brother Li knows at a glance that it is not a material for doing business, no matter what kind of business is discussed, how can he quote his reserve price from the beginning?" Isn't this waiting for someone else to kill you? ”

"If it is not Brother Li who is in front of the little brother at this moment, but another stranger, I will gladly accept such a high-priced little brother, there is a cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard, and others will send it to the door, if you don't eat it, even the Buddha will be angry, and you will have nightmares at night."

Hearing Tang Xiu's vulgar words, Li Jiulang didn't mind, and asked Tang Xiu with a chuckle: "Then according to Brother Tang's meaning, the price of this melon is high?" ”

"It's not just higher, it's more than a little bit higher." Tang Xiu said casually: "Do you know what the highest price of this watermelon I thought at the beginning was?" One hundred texts! ”

Tang Xiu stretched out a finger and continued: "If the sales are not good, I won't be able to lose even if it drops to fifty wen a catty or even twenty wen a catty." Therefore, the consistent money given by Brother Li is really a bit ridiculously high. ”

"Fifty wen, twenty wen a catty? Is it so cheap? ”

This time, not only Li Jiulang, but even the two guards behind Li Jiulang were all surprised, they were very clear about the market of watermelons in Chang'an City in recent years, it was definitely a rare existence with no price, except for some people in the royal family who were lucky enough to eat a few, they had never even seen it.

You must know that if you want to transport a watermelon from the Western Regions back to Chang'an, ordinary trade routes will not work at all, because watermelons have a shelf life, and if ordinary caravans are transported normally, they will have to rot in the car if they travel less than half the distance.

If the fast horse is non-stop day and night, it can be delivered, but the watermelon contained is not too much, and it is the limit to have five at a time, and if there is more, a big living person plus nearly 100 catties of watermelon, the horse can not run fast and not far at all.

And even if this is the case, there are three groups of people and five to ten fast horses on the road, such consumption, if the watermelon is not a tribute, it is transported by the people of the Western Regions every year, even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is estimated not to be so laborious and waste money in order to eat a few mouthfuls of watermelon.

Therefore, the cost of transporting a watermelon from the Western Regions back to Chang'an has also been infinitely raised, and the consistent money of one pound given by Li Jiulang is already the cheapest estimate.

Therefore, when they suddenly heard that Tang Xiu's watermelons might only be sold for twenty wen a catty, the three of them would lose their temper so much.

If what Tang Xiu said is true, watermelons can really be so cheap, and they can really grow delicious watermelons in the territory of Datang on a large scale, doesn't that mean that in the future in the realm of Datang, in addition to the emperor's relatives and relatives, even those ordinary people can eat and afford watermelons?

"Cheap?"

Tang Xiu chuckled and shook his head slightly, if these people knew that those watermelons in the later generations were only two or three yuan when they were the most expensive, I don't know how they would feel.

Two or three yuan in this era of the Tang Dynasty, it was only two or three yuan, Tang Xiu priced the watermelon at 100 yuan a catty, which is already equivalent to 100 yuan a catty, such an expensive watermelon, it is estimated that only people in this era will feel cheap.
