Chapter 103: Watermelon
The weather in June, the cool department is unbearable, the hot air is annoying, knowing that the tree is non-stop, Xu Qingyan sat under the grape trellis, looking at the thick grape leaves, stunned.
Recalling this time a year ago, she was still sitting in an air-conditioned room eating watermelon and playing with her mobile phone, not to mention how comfortable it was, but now that she thinks about it, it makes her feel like a world away, and the sweet taste in her memory..................
That's right! The watermelons in her family's two acres of land should also be ripe!
Thinking of this, Xu Qingyan hurriedly rushed out, ran to the melon field to take a look, only to see the round big watermelons crowded in the sun, except for vines and melons in the melon field, there was not even a foot in the ground, Xu Qingyan grinned, this is a bumper harvest, it is so dense, although she only planted two acres of land, but she had to add up to thousands at a cursory glance.
It can grow so well, it should be attributed to the aura rune water, otherwise I am afraid that there is no half, thinking of the sweet and juicy watermelon, I can't hold it anymore, I found a watermelon at random and knocked it twice, only to hear the "bang" twice, the watermelon cracked directly, and suddenly the bright red juice flowed out a lot.
Looking at the bright red melon naan and the juice flowing out, Xu Qingyan smiled, divided the watermelon in half, and ate it on the spot.
As soon as the fresh and sweet watermelon enters the mouth, it immediately soothes the summer heat, and when you eat it, you feel a burst of comfort, which makes people sigh.
"What are you doing here?"
Xu Qingyan was eating vigorously, and was startled by this sound, and when she turned around and saw that it was Wu Tianyou, she couldn't help but say angrily: "Why don't you make a sound when you walk, you're scared to death in broad daylight." ”
"I've walked hard enough, but you didn't hear it, and besides, what are you afraid of in broad daylight, didn't you do something wrong."
Xu Qingyan met his suspicious gaze and glared back; "What did I do!"
"Then what are you afraid of, I saw you squatting here from afar, touch it here, touch it there, say! Are you trying to steal. ”
"This is my land, have you ever seen someone stealing from my own field?" Xu Qingyan rolled her eyes at him.
I was really defeated by him, and the last time I came, I thought he was a lot more mature, why did he change back to his previous appearance this time.
"Your land, tell me what you have in your hand?"
Seeing that she had been staring at the watermelon in her hand, Xu Qingyan realized that she wanted to eat watermelon for a long time.
"Hey..... Watermelon! What, you want to eat" Xu Qingyan rolled her eyes and asked.
Wu Tianyou smelled the sweetness in the air, only felt that his saliva was overflowing, and he couldn't care about face anymore, so he nodded.
Seeing Xu Qingyan turn around and pick two watermelons, Wu Tianyou was very satisfied, so he waited for Xu Qingyan to deliver the watermelons to him.
Who knows, I saw Xu Qingyan holding the watermelon and turned around.
Let's go!
"Hey, a watermelon, you won't be so stingy!" Wu Tianyou shouted towards Xu Qingyan's back.
Xu Qingyan turned her head and said, "This watermelon, I picked it for my family to eat, if you want to eat it, come along." ”
Wu Tianyou looked at Xu Qingyan, and then looked at the watermelon in the field, and said in his heart, if he picked one directly from the ground, would it be considered stealing!
After a while, looking at Xu Qingyan, who had already walked away, she still followed, and the two entourages behind her could only shake their heads and follow when they saw this.
It's not that Xu Qingyan is reluctant to have a watermelon, but she has something to talk to Wu Tianyou, and it's inconvenient to talk in the fields.
In the courtyard of the Xu family, seeing that the county commander was coming, the Xu family hurriedly welcomed him in, serving tea and water.
After some politeness, Xu Qingyan cut the watermelon she brought into several pieces, the Xu family had a piece, and Wu Tianyou unceremoniously took a piece by herself.
Looking at Wu Tianyou, who was eating, Xu Qingyan smiled and said, "What does the eldest prince think of the taste?" ”
Wu Tianyou nodded and said, "Yes, it's sweet and juicy, and it's also relieved, and there is an indescribable feeling in my stomach when I eat it." ”
Xu Qingyan slandered, what indescribable feeling, her intuition said that it was delicious, but her melon was indeed better than any watermelon she had eaten in her previous life.
"Does the eldest prince think anyone will buy it?"
When Wu Tianyou heard this, he raised his head and said, "Do you want to sell it?" ”
"yes, no." Xu Qingyan raised her eyebrows
"Okay, it's just that I don't think you have much in your family!"
"Less is less, scarce is expensive." Xu Qingyan disagreed.
"How much are you going to sell it for a pound?"
"No, I don't care if I sell it, I plan to sell it by the pound." Xu Qingyan had seen it before, it may be because of the soaking, the watermelons in the melon field are all about the same size, but the difference will not exceed one catty.
"I wonder if the eldest prince is interested in cooperating?"
When Wu Tianyou heard this, a trace of interest flashed in his eyes, and he straightened up and said, "What kind of cooperation method?" ”
"The son is out of the shop, I am out of the melon, and the three or seven are divided."
Wu Tianyou raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm seven and you're three." ”
Xu Qingyan was so angry that she really wanted to spray a mouthful of watermelon on his face, "Childe said that he laughed, naturally I am seven, and you are three." ”
"You're good at calculating, so what else do I have to earn."
"One tael of silver, one thousand is one thousand taels of silver, you have three hundred taels of three, you must know that my watermelon is sold for a month at most, and the net profit is three hundred taels a month, you are too little."
This gentleman couldn't afford to pay for a 500 yuan brush last time, and at first glance he was the owner who had no private money, and this 300 taels should be a lot of money for him.
Wu Tianyou was choked by her outrageous words: "Ahem............ What did you say! One or two pieces of silver, why don't you grab it? Wu Tianyou couldn't believe it, where did she get the confidence to sell one or two pieces of silver.
The Xu family, who was in attendance, was also surprised, although the watermelon was delicious, but one or two pieces of silver was too expensive, and unless a fool would buy it.
"Ah Yan, one tael of silver is indeed too expensive, if it were me, two hundred wen would be too expensive." Hu Shi said that if it wasn't for her own planting, she would be reluctant to buy a watermelon for 200 yuan.
"Mother, of course ordinary people won't buy it, but we can sell it to rich people, watermelons are now only available to our family, as the saying goes, rare things are expensive, those rich people, don't care about this money, for them, the rarer and more expensive things can show their face, and people can't look down on it when they sell it cheaply."
Wu Tianyou agrees with Xu Qingyan's statement, it is indeed like this in their circle, but his father is a clean official, if it weren't for his mother's still a few dowry shops......
"Five-Five-Open"
"No, four or six at most." Xu Qingyan shook her head resolutely.
"Just five or five, you must know that in addition to going out of the shop, I can also help you block some people with hearts, or you sell such expensive watermelons by yourself, I don't know how many people's eyes will be recruited, with my father's name behind you, you can be a lot quieter."
Xu Qingyan pulled Wu Tianyou to cooperate with this, she felt that using the name of hunting to cover up selling medicine was not a long-term solution, and the money from selling medicine needed a reasonable source.
In the end, Wu Tianyou was persuaded by Xu Qingyan, four or six is forty-six, and four hundred taels of silver is a lot.
It's just how to convince my mother to hand over the shop on East Street to him!
