After Huang Congjiang's father and daughter glanced at each other, Huang Congjiang said, "These melons are all thirty copper plates and one catty." ”

Don't look at the Huang family's price of these melons, the price is less than the money from selling mushrooms, but in fact, it is more profitable than selling mushrooms.

The production of mushrooms is not high, and the mushrooms are not heavy and light, so the Huang family has not made much money by selling mushrooms for a few rounds.

These melons are different, such as melons and melons, lighter, there are three or two, heavier ones also have five or six taels, plus planting a seedling, you can produce three or four melons.

As for watermelons, the lighter ones are seven or eight catties, and the heavier ones are eleven or twelve catties.

In addition, the melons planted by the Huang family have an area of more than 200 square meters, and a lot of melons have come out, Huang Yiyun estimated that they sold all these melons, and they could earn more than 20 taels of silver this winter.

"It's too expensive, these melons, if they are in the summer, they will be sold for five copper plates a catty at most, but I have one condition." After Shopkeeper Zhang heard Huang Congjiang's words, he immediately frowned and shook his head.

After Huang Congjiang was about to speak, he was pulled by Huang Yiyun and said, "The shopkeeper also means that the value of this melon is in summer, isn't it in winter now?" This value has to be counted as another one, but what conditions can the shopkeeper say to listen, we refer to it. ”

"Thirty copper plates a catty, I took your family, but, in the whole town, you can only sell to our liquor store, you can't sell it to other people, and you can't set up a stall to sell it yourself, if it works, it's at this price."

"Shopkeeper, I agreed to your conditions, but this price must be forty copper plates, four seasons to make a fortune, you send me and I will make it, this is my bottom line, if it doesn't work, my father and I have to work harder, go to the county to see.

Shopkeeper, what are you thinking in your heart, I also know that the monopoly of the melon business in the town, plus many rich businessmen in the town, they have money, they can eat rare things, word of mouth, can you sell for less? ”

"It's a pity that you're not a boy, don't go into business. Cheng, just forty copper plates a catty, don't forget the previous conditions. ”

"Shopkeeper, if you can't eat so many melons and fruits in your wine shop, my family won't sell them in our town, but the county will have to go through it." Huang Yiyun asked after thinking about it.

"This is the premise that the wine store can't eat the melons grown by your family, if our wine store eats the melons grown by your family, you must give priority to supply our wine store, until our wine store can't eat it, and your family can sell it to the county." Shopkeeper Zhang also said.

"Done." In the end, the melons brought by the father and daughter of the Huang family totaled twenty-five catties, and they were sold for one or two silver at once, and selling melons once was comparable to the silver money for selling mushrooms.

In the days that followed, every five days and seven days, the Huang family was able to sell melons once, and each time the three kinds of melons were picked off, they weighed about fifty catties, and each time they sold two taels of silver, they sold three more melons before and after.

This is slowly approaching the end of the year, and the Huang family has also begun to put things for the New Year.

。

'Knock knock. The head of the village has gathered, and there is something big in our village to talk about. Zhang Shilang rang the gong and walked around the village and shouted loudly.

Many villagers heard Zhang Shilang knock on the gong and said that there was something important to say, and the villagers pulled Zhang Shilang and wanted to ask questions.

Zhang Shilang naturally didn't know what was going on, and shook his head one after another, saying that "Go to the village to gather, Li Zheng will naturally say, I just ran errands to pass the word, hurry up to the village, Li Zheng is about to talk about big things." It's a matter of our families. ”

After the villagers saw Zhang Shilang say this, they ran to the square at the head of the village one after another.

In the past, as long as someone struck a gong and wanted to go to the village square to say yes, it must have happened a big event.

If it is a trivial matter, the village chief will naturally notify you one by one, and where is it still used, to tell everyone.

"Dad, Li Zheng said that he wanted to talk about big things in the square at the head of our village? I'll go and listen from the river. Zhang Shilang also knocked on the Huang family, and after telling the matter again, Huang Congjiang immediately said to Huang Pingcheng.

But a few babies, after hearing that the people in the village went to the village square, they suddenly couldn't sit still, their bodies twisted around, not to mention, they knew that they wanted to go out of the village square at a glance.

"Come on, the weather is not cold now, and it has just finished the New Year, take them out to see the excitement, let's settle in Qingshan Village, they have been here for so long, they have never seen so many people, they have gone out to have a look, I and your father are staying at home." Huang Li said after seeing this.

"Sister, let's go." When several babies heard Huang Li's words, their faces showed joy, and the seventh brother hurriedly pulled Huang Yiyun out.

At the head of Qingshan Village, the square paved with bluestone slabs is the size of two acres of land.

In the past, the villagers in the village either exposed their rice and wheat to the sun or occupied a place at the head of the village to dry the rice and wheat.

Around the center, a high platform was built.

It is convenient for people standing on high platforms to speak.

There are hundreds of families in Qingshan Village, and each family has several brothers who have not yet split up, and each family has as few as nine or ten people, and as many as 20 people.

When the Huang family came to the square at the head of the village, they saw a group of people, men, women and children, and children, noisy, noisy, and playing, and everyone talked to each other.

Talking about what is going on today?

For a while, it was even more noisy than the vegetable market.

"Rizheng is here." I don't know who shouted loudly.

From the west, Village Chief Zhang hugged an old man in his fifties and walked to the high platform of the square.

A passage was made on both sides of the way, allowing Village Chief Zhang and Li Zheng to walk inside.

The villagers who passed by greeted the village chief and Li Zheng one after another.

"The hour has come, have all the people come?" Wang Li asked the village chief Zhang with a sad look on his face.

"The hour is almost up, the people who should have arrived have arrived, and those who have not arrived are afraid that they are not at home, and we will talk about such a big thing later, we don't need to say it again, through the mouths of the villagers, we can notify all households, and in a day or two, the people in our whole town will know about it." After Village Chief Zhang thought of what Li Zheng told him before, Village Chief Zhang couldn't help but show a sad look on his face.

People are most afraid of one disaster.

came, it's just that, after this incident, there will be more than 100 young and strong men in the village, and between them, how many people can come back, how many people will break up their wives, and how many people will break up their families?
