Chapter 300: Under the blessing of the Barlow family
"Huh. Old Willie looked Barlow up and down, and the smile on his face never disappeared.
"Barlow, you have a good son. β
"You mean Pedy?"
"Yes, little Peidi has found a good teacher!" said old Willie as he looked at Barlow, a look of envy on his face.
"You've heard about it, hehe, this kid has a good life, he was tested by the school to have a talent for magic, and now he is studying magic with a magician. β
Now, no matter who talks to Balomara about their son Pedi, the two couples have a look of pride on their faces.
Old Willie sighed: "Yes, in a few years, little Peidi will become a noble magician." β
Barlow laughed alongside, he didn't know what old Willie was looking for him for.
"Uncle Willie, you're here to find me this time......"
"I'm here to talk to you about a deal. β
"Talking about trading?" Barlow was stunned, he didn't sell the fruits of the Wheat Ear Farm, why did the steward of the farm come to talk to him about the deal today?
"Hey, do you know who that magician teacher is for little Pedi?"
"I don't know, I haven't met this magician yet. β
"Alas, it's really luck that can't stop it, let me tell you, that magician is my young master. β
"Your young master, the Melward family?" Barlow was stunned.
Although his son Peidi said that His Majesty the Emperor GΓΌlen also lived in the Magic Tower, His Majesty the Emperor was too far away from him, too far away to know the specific concept.
But who doesn't know the name of the Melward family? He is the richest man in the imperial capital, and even in the entire Oskaia Empire.
If nothing else, let's just talk about the market at the South Gate, and I don't know how many people rely on the Melward family to eat.
Of course, these people are only minutiae, and many of them don't even know that they are working for the Melward family.
For example, the Wheat Ear Farm is just a small and inconspicuous property of the Melward family, and he relies on the vegetables produced on the farm to buy high and sell low, making a difference.
He is a wholesaler, and he wholesals the goods to Lu Sien, and the young man in Lu Sien's shop also strictly relies on the Melward family, but does he know? I'm afraid he doesn't know at all.
"Yes, it's the Melward family, his name is Flandy, and he is the grandson of the Marquis of Willard!"
Barlow and Mara were dizzy again, and the grandson of the head of the family was a descendant. I couldn't help but say: "No wonder ......"
"What's the wonder?"
"Oh, Uncle Willy, I mean, it's no wonder that this Master Flandy gave Pedy nearly a hundred gold coins in pocket money alone last time. β
"Huh. Old Willie was noncommittal.
"Uncle Willy, Mistress Flandy asked you to come and talk to me about the deal, what kind of deal is it?" Barlow suddenly remembered old Willie's intention.
"Well, there are some valuable fruits, and the young master wants you to sell them. β
"Valuable fruits? Blue cherry blossom fruit, snake fruit, Uncle Willy, this is a civilian area, these fruits can't be sold. β
"Of course not, how can that garbage be compared to the fruit produced in our wheat ear farm?"
"Huh, what kind of fruit is that?"
"You can go with me to see it, and now you don't believe it. β
"This ......" Barlow looked at the small cart that had just been loaded, still a little reluctant.
"Uncle Willy, we're going with you!" or Mara, who understood that the opportunity was in front of her, tugged at Barlow's sleeve.
"Oh-oh, yes, we'll go with you now. After being reminded by his wife, Barlow also reacted.
Old Willy had come in a carriage, which was large enough for six people, and Barlow and Marla got into the carriage and sat across from Old Willy.
The road out of the city was easy to walk, the newly built stone road was smooth, and Barlow and Mara, though always trading with the peasants outside the city, had not been out of the city for a long time.
There were almost no bumps along the way, and it was not until we reached the wheat harvest farm that I turned into the path and became difficult to walk.
Barlow and Mara didn't care, because they had seen the glass greenhouses that he saw as majestic from afar.
"Hehe, Barlow, Mara, do you see? These glass greenhouses were built by the young master's order, you don't know yet. All the rice seedlings near the imperial capital are produced from here. β
"You're talking about the new type of rice?" asked Barlow, surprised.
"Yes, it's the new rice that is on the market now, but the new rice is far from what we have here. β
Now the people in the imperial capital are talking about the emergence of new rice, which is not only big, but also very fragrant after cooking, and it is not a little stronger than the previous rice.
In the past, some unscrupulous grain merchants would mix some sand into the rice to deceive people, because the rice was too small at that time, and it was difficult to distinguish it by putting some sand in it.
But as soon as the new rice appeared, this situation disappeared immediately. Because the new rice is much larger than the previous rice, if you mix it with sand, you can see it at a glance.
"Better rice than new rice?" Barlow and Mara couldn't imagine how much better it could be.
"Hehe, you can have lunch at my place at noon today, and I'll cook you some fresh rice to eat. β
"Then what's embarrassing...... "Although I really wanted to taste it, Barlow and old Willy were not familiar to that extent after all.
"It doesn't matter, in the future, all the vegetables and fruits that are overproduced in our farm will be contracted to you, and it is indispensable to meet, so you don't have to be too polite. β
"Uh, okay then. Barlow thought about it, and it was nothing to help them sell fruit on the farm and eat a lunch.
The carriage continued to move forward until it reached the fourth glass shed before it stopped.
The glass greenhouse was transparent, and Barlow and Mara were stunned by the fruits in the greenhouse as soon as they got out of the carriage.
"This, this...... This is the fruit you want me to sell?" Barlow rubbed his eyes vigorously, feeling that everything was so unreal, as if in a dream.
Mara, like Barlow, wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes.
"Let's go, I'll take you inside. Old Willie had seen a lot of expressions like Barlow and Mara, and almost everyone who saw those fruits and vegetables in the glass greenhouse for the first time would have such expressions.
"Uh, good ......" Barlow and Mara were in a trance, not knowing how they had entered the glass shed.
The glass greenhouse of ten acres of land, not big or small, is more than 6,000 square meters, if it is not irrigated with plant magic essentia, it is nothing, but after irrigation with water diluted by essentia, everything has changed.
The husband and wife visited the glass greenhouse with Lao Weili, and their mouths basically did not close.
The peace fruit that can't be hugged can't be held, the fruit that needs to be carried to walk, and the big akane melon that has been hollowed out and can be used as a small house.
Barlow and Mara felt as if they were getting smaller, otherwise why were the fruits so big?
Further on, those vegetables are even more exaggerated, such as the big cabbage that is taller than Barlow, the large glass cabbage with leaves that can be used as a cover, and the white and flawless but pungent taste.
The glass shed was only a few hundred meters long, and soon Old Power took Barlow and Mara around.
"Uncle Willie, I want to ...... Forget it......" Barlow said dejectedly.
Old Willie was shocked, he never expected Barlow to refuse.
"Why?"
This was the task that Frady gave him, how could he not complete it.
"I ...... I can't afford to buy it!" Barlow cried with a sad face, remembering the conversation he had with Old Willi in front of the warehouse, and finally understood why Old Willy said that the blue cherry fruit and snake fruit were high-grade fruits in his eyes were rubbish.
Indeed, although these fruits are some ordinary varieties, they can't stand up to their size, and just by smelling the fragrance, you can know that the taste must not be wrong.
How can this kind of fruit be enjoyed by commoners, and only nobles can afford to eat it, their own family's business is small and profitable, and I am afraid that all the money added up can't afford to buy a few fruits.
Of course, he didn't consider using Flandery's nearly 100 gold coins to buy them, because he never dared to take those gold coins as his own.
