Chapter 214: Big Business Is Coming
Mrs. Cui had eaten melon, which was said to be a tribute from the outside world, and her father, who was still a scholar at that time, was very trusted by the emperor and was rewarded, only two.
My father took it home very rarely, and shared it with her.
But the melon was white and green, and it was small.
The color in front of her was so much better, and before she could eat it, she swallowed saliva from the sweet taste.
The village chief was also excited, and tremblingly divided Jiayin and Mrs. Cui into a piece, and then couldn't wait to take a bite.
Almost immediately, he burst into tears, "This...... It's also so delicious, sweet, so sweet! Ye Gongzi is really a good person, he found such a fairy fruit for the village! Woo, this one will definitely sell for a lot of money! ”
Mrs. Cui also nodded again and again, "Such a melon, someone can buy it for one or two silver pounds." It's much sweeter than all the tributes I've eaten before. ”
Jiayin even ate melon seeds sticking to the tip of his nose, and praised the nursery in the space desperately.
She had just tried it out, and she didn't expect it to happen.
As a result, the melon seeds were so shriveled, and the nursery actually grew seedlings.
The most rare thing is that the quality of the melon has also improved a lot, after all, she didn't eat the neighbor's melon in her previous life, and she definitely doesn't have the sweetness in her hand!
She looked at the large melon field in front of her, and her eyes were almost shining.
This is not a melon field, this is a cornucopia!
Seeing that the village chief also thought the same, he wiped his face fiercely and shouted, "No, I want to find all the people in the village to see the melon field!" No wonder I think there have been more rats in the field recently, so they came to steal melons! It's not possible, such a good thing, you can't feed the rats! ”
Jiayin is more worried about another piece of cold melon, which is supposed to ripen a few days earlier than the melon.
She stepped away from her little fat legs and was about to run over, but unfortunately the melon seedlings blocked the way, and she tripped and fell on all fours, so she could only look at the village chief and Mrs. Cui innocently and aggrieved.
The white and fat little girl, wearing a red summer shirt, was lying in the middle of the green melon seedlings, how to look at it and how happy and funny, which made the village chief and Mrs. Cui bend over with laughter.
Mrs. Cui stepped forward and hugged her, and said angrily, "Did it hurt?" The calves are so short, I want to run anywhere! ”
"Eat cold melon, cold melon is sweeter!" Jiayin struggled to the cold melon field, and the village chief hurriedly led the way with his hands behind his back, "Let's go, take Fu Niu to see the cold melon, she can find the ripe melon, and she will definitely be able to find the ripe cold melon." ”
Soon, we arrived at the cold melon field.
Cold melons do not bear as many melons, but each has the size of a clay pot, and it is not easy to hide under the melon seedlings, so they can only be sunburned and each is green and black.
Jiayin was afraid of tripping, so he simply crawled in the ditch on the ground, and when he saw a big watermelon, he reached out and patted it.
After passing by five or six like this, she finally took a fancy to a person whose voice was a little empty, and she was satisfied with the left and right shots, so she raised her little face and shouted, "It's cooked, this is cooked!" ”
When the village chief stepped forward, he also kept patting, and compared the cold melon next to him, and he had a number in his heart.
He took out a small dagger from his arms, made a small triangular hole in the melon, and then pierced a piece of melon.
Under the black and green skin, there is actually a red and bright melon pulp, a drop of light red watermelon juice dripping, shining by the sun, shining with a smooth light.
The village chief swallowed hard, trembled slightly, and sent the cold melon to Jiayin's mouth.
Jiayin was not polite, he took a bite and slapped his face happily in an instant, "It's so sweet, it's delicious!" ”
The village chief and Mrs. Cui both laughed, "It's good to be sweet, it's good to be sweet!"
Mrs. Cui pulled her sleeves to block the sun for Jiayin, and said to the village chief.
"Uncle, if such a good thing is picked up by our village and sold in the city, I am afraid it will not be sold at a good price. Why don't I ask someone to invite Brother Liu to come over, he has many ways, and it is best to sell them to those rich and noble families. ”
"Okay, okay, that's great." The village chief was overjoyed, "Take this cold melon and give it to Master Liu to taste, and pick two melons." We have to let people know whether things are good or not, so that we can do business. ”
Mrs. Cui smiled and nodded repeatedly.
The old lady slept until the sun was setting, turned over and sat up, and when she didn't see her granddaughter on the kang, she was startled, and hurriedly ran outside and shouted, "Fu Niu, Fu Niu!" ”
Sister-in-law Qiong stood up under the eaves of the porch and answered, "Don't worry, old lady, our lady has taken Fu Niu out to play." ”
Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting to speak again, Mrs. Cui and the village chief came back with Jiayin.
Mrs. Li hurriedly picked up her granddaughter and patted her, "I was really scared to death, I thought I had a good night's sleep and lost my granddaughter's sleep." ”
Jiayin hurriedly pointed to the cold melon in the village chief's arms, and offered treasure to his grandmother, "Grandma, the melon is ripe, I picked it!" ”
"Oh, why did you go to the field to plague the cold melon, this is a precious thing!" Mrs. Li nodded her granddaughter's nose, but the village chief smiled, "Fu Niu didn't spoil things, Fu Niu helped a lot today!" ”
Mrs. Cui also greeted Sister-in-law Qiong with a smile, "Find a basket, send this cold melon and muskmelon to Liu's house, and hand it over to my brother-in-law." Tell my brother-in-law that big business has come to my door. ”
Sister-in-law Qiong was rare to see her wife so lively, and she was also happy, so she hurried up.
Mrs. Li asked, "Are the cold melons and melons ripe?" Can this be sold for money? ”
"Yes," the village chief's smiling wrinkles gathered together, and he almost danced with joy, "not only is it ripe, it's so sweet and delicious." Our village has made a fortune! ”
After that, he didn't stay for a moment, and went directly to find people to arrange and strengthen patrols.
This time, don't talk about defending against people and beasts, even rats can't let go of one.
Mrs. Li pulled Mrs. Cui to drink water under the eaves of the porch, and after asking carefully, Sister-in-law Qiong picked up and set off.
I don't know if there are too many people moving from Jiangbei, and the new ones are crowded to explode, as if this year is hotter than the summer of previous years.
Especially a fat man like Liu Zhiheng, it's terrible.
Fortunately at night, I was sweating during the day, and I couldn't go out at all without urgency.
At this time, although the sun is tilting in the west, the earth that has been scorched by the sun for a day is still like a steamer.
Liu Zhiheng spread out on the bamboo chair, eating a bowl of ice cheese, and two maids fanning their fans, only to feel better.
Mrs. Liu couldn't help but sigh, "My lord is really getting more and more afraid of the heat, there are still two months left in this summer, and you can't do it every day." ”
Liu Zhiheng was also worried, and when he was about to speak, the porter in the front yard came to report the news.
"Master, the servant of the Cui family came to deliver something, saying that Mrs. Cui instructed her to deliver it to you personally."
Liu Zhiheng and his wife are strange, after all, Mrs. Liu only came back from Broken Gold Beach in the morning.
Liu Zhiheng waved his hand, and the porter ran out, and soon Sister-in-law Qiong walked in with a basket.
After saluting, she smiled and said, "My lord, our lady instructed the slave to send you two good things, and she also brought a sentence to say, big business is coming!" ”
Big business coming?
Liu Zhiheng and his wife glanced at each other, and they were even more confused.
Until Sister-in-law Qiong opened the basket and took out a cold melon like a clay pot, as well as two golden melons.
Liu Zhiheng was stunned for a long time, and then jumped off the bamboo chair with a snort.
"Where did this come from? Cold melon! This is a cold melon! He almost pounced on the cold melon and hugged it and didn't let go, "Such a big cold melon is much better than the one sent by the foreign domain!" ”
