445. That woman still has this ability
Yue Jiujiu really thought so, these watermelons were dedicated to the emperor, not only to express her gratitude, but also to secretly wonder if the emperor would give her a second reward.
How much is a watermelon worth?
In the era she lived in, even when it was the most expensive, it was only a few dozen dollars, right? Hundreds of dollars died. As for the watermelon worth thousands of dollars, it is not within the normal range that Yue Jiujiu thinks.
So, she sells watermelons here, and a watermelon is sky-high for one or two silver, right?
And what if the emperor gives a reward?
It's a few hundred taels at every turn, in case he sees that he has found a new food, although it is just a fruit, but in the end it is a new discovery, there is one, there are two, there are two, three is still far away? The reward should be more than last time, right?
For example, a reward of 1,000 taels?
Then a watermelon is worth dozens of taels of silver!
Although it is not as high as the price of tens of millions of dollars, Yue Jiujiu is already very content.
The more Yue Jiujiu thought about it, the more beautiful his mood became, and his face almost couldn't help but smile.
In the end, I still remember that there is a young lady standing in front of her, although she is a young lady with the lowest official position, in the end, she is not a common person who can compare, in case her smile is misunderstood as a joke of watching people, then what good fruit does she have to eat.
You must know that "county officials are not as good as being in charge", there is another sentence called "The emperor is far away", and the other sentence is "The generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to it"!
Even if it's for the sake of her own life, she can't have any expression other than embarrassment now.
"What is there to forgive or not, if Miss doesn't dislike it, I'll give this watermelon to Miss."
Yue Jiujiu reluctantly handed the watermelon to the other party, and Miss Jiao didn't expect it to be bright, so she immediately smiled and motioned to the maid to take it, and then involuntarily stuffed the purse into Yue Jiuyue's hand.
"Thank you, Auntie! This is a little thank you for this, and please don't dislike it! It was quite a long time since we came out, so we went back first. ”
After speaking, he was not polite, and left with the maid Shi Shiran.
As she walked back, Miss Jiao's handkerchief was twisted into twists.
What a shame! It's a shame! Anyway, why did she have convulsions today, so she had to come out alone?
When she ate the watermelon that had been towned with spring water, Miss Jiao's mood immediately soared, and it was worth going out this time! It's worth it!
That is, she may never be able to eat such a good fruit to cool off in the future, and she is afraid that she will remember it for the rest of her life!
The more Miss Jiao ate, the more sad she became, but she couldn't help but eat one piece after another.
"Miss, Mrs. thinks this watermelon is quite delicious, and it is cool to relieve the heat, I want to ask where Miss bought it from, Mrs. wants to buy a few more and send them home, so that they can taste it too."
Suddenly, an old woman came over and asked about the origin of the watermelon.
Miss Jiao sighed, she knew it would be like this, but she couldn't eat alone, it was really embarrassing!
"The watermelon was planted by the owner of this family, and it is said that it came from the west, and the owner of this family is to thank the emperor for the reward, so he found a way to grow it and wanted to give it to the emperor to express her gratitude."
Miss Jiao immediately said what Yue Jiuyue said, she was really afraid that if she was a step slower, or missed a word, her mother would find it.
"Oh? Does that woman still have this ability? ”
The grandmother was amazed.
