Chapter 163: Chilled Watermelon
After Zhang Yun's flickering, he finally sent Li Rusong, a big injustice, away, and before leaving, Li Rusong also asked Zhang Yun to write a note and agree on a time limit.
Zhang Yun directly agreed to return it to him after three years, anyway, it is just a word "delay", as long as I delay it long enough, you will come to beg me at that time.
As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Zhang Yun's mouth raised slightly.
After sending Li Rusong away, Zhang Yun began to think about what to do with this watermelon.
Now it is August, the whole capital is scorching hot, and I am ready to buy most of the watermelons in the capital and make a good profit.
Just do it, early the next morning, Zhang Yun called Han Cheng and pulled Wu Fu towards their village.
On the official road of the capital, a group of more than a dozen people rode horses and marched slowly, led by Zhang Yun.
Wu Fu followed Zhang Yun with a flattering smile on his face, this honest farmer would not be flattering, but he knew that Zhang Yun was his great benefactor, so he said all the good things.
The further I went, the surrounding plants became denser and denser, and the greenery shrouded a few people, and I had already seen many farmers who got up early to work, and saw Zhang Yun and several people riding horses, and they all looked sideways.
Wu Fu puffed up his chest and accepted the envious expressions of the villagers.
"My lord, through the woods, we will arrive at our village." Wu Fu smiled and pointed to the woods in front of him and said with a smile.
Zhang Yun looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the forest was sparsely growing with a few trees, which was not so much called a forest as a wasteland.
"Well, let's go." Zhang Yun was no longer entangled, and began to urge several people to speed up.
After passing through the woods, along the end of the woods, about 5 minutes of walking, a towering ancient tree came into Zhang Yun's eyes, there are many old people under the ancient tree enjoying the shade, and there are children with pigtails playing next to them, the whole scene is very happy.
When the people in the village saw Wu Fu coming back, they all greeted him with a smile, and Wu Fu was worth the waist and responded to everyone one by one.
Then, with Zhang Yun, he ran directly to his home.
Wu Fu's home is in the east of the village, and he is not rich in this village, but he is not poor either, and he is not less angry because of his docile temper.
"Magnolia, Magnolia, I'm back." As soon as Wu Fu walked into the courtyard, he began to shout.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a peasant woman about thirty-four or five years old walking out, staring at Wu Fu with red eyes.
Then he gritted his teeth and scolded: "You ran away there last night, I thought you died outside." ”
"Why don't you die outside, I can remarry with my children."
“......”
Wu Fu first smiled awkwardly at Zhang Yun, then covered his daughter-in-law's mouth and hurriedly pulled her aside.
"What are you doing, you damn thing, let go of the old lady." His daughter-in-law is also not a fuel-efficient lamp and struggles desperately.
Wu Fu directly took out the 10 taels of silver given by Zhang Yun from his arms and handed it to his daughter-in-law.
"Ahh Boss, you're not going to rob it, are you? His daughter-in-law exclaimed, looked at the silver in front of her, and said tremblingly.
"I went to the city to sell watermelons, which son gave it." Wu Fu said proudly.
"Our batch of watermelons is at most two taels of silver, how can you care about others asking for ten taels."
"You'd better give it back to someone else."
"Childe said, give me a reward."
His daughter-in-law heard this, and this time she was relieved.
Immediately, he changed the fierce and vicious spirit just now, walked out with a smile, and welcomed Zhang Yun and the others in.
"The humble house is shabby, and I hope you don't dislike it."
"Out of the way, out of the way."
"Let's hurry up and get down to business." Zhang Yun said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, let's get down to business first." After that, Wu Fu took a few people to his melon field.
Along the way, the villagers followed Wu Fu one after another, wanting to see what this guy was doing.
After walking for about 10 minutes, several people finally arrived at Wu Fu's melon field.
This melon field is neatly hung with green watermelons, Zhang Yun walked to a watermelon, picked one up and opened it directly with a punch, and then distributed it to Han Cheng and others to taste.
"Uh-huh, yes." Several people couldn't stop letting out sounds of admiration.
Wu Fu showed a sincere smile and looked at Zhang Yun expectantly.
"I've got all your melons covered."
Wu Fu heard Zhang Yun's words, and was about to kneel down for him, but Zhang Yun hurriedly stopped: "Thank you, my lord, you are really a noble person in our family." ”
"How do you melon dealers usually buy it?" Zhang Yun asked about the price.
After hearing this, Wu Fu smiled and said: "If you come to the village to collect it, you will have three wen a catty, and if you take it to the city to sell it yourself, it will be five wen a catty." ”
"Then I'll give you ten cents a catty, and you sell me all your melons."
"Shiwen?!"
Not only Wu Fu, but even the onlookers screamed when they heard this number.
"My lord, we also have watermelons, and the adults will also collect them together, we only need eight wen, oh not seven wen."
"Wuwen is fine." The villagers began to beg Zhang Yun to collect their watermelons.
Zhang Yun accepted them one by one.
"You all go to Wu Fu to register, and in the future, he will be my voice in your village, and I will find him if there is anything." Zhang Yun shouted loudly.
Wu Fu heard this, and his waist was unconsciously worth it.
"You pay attention, other people's good melons will be charged by 10 yuan, and if they are worse, they will be charged at 8 yuan, so as to decrease."
"Don't let them fool me with crooked melons."
"Don't worry, the villain will definitely take care of it, and the adults will not suffer." Wu Fu patted his chest and said with a straight face.
Zhang Yun smiled, asked a few brocade guards to buy it here with the silver, and then took Han Cheng to the city.
"My lord, we can make money by buying them for five cents a pound, why do we give them ten cents?" On the way back, Han Cheng asked puzzled.
"Lao Tzu never thought of making money from poor ghosts."
"It's not easy for them, so let them live a little better, which can be regarded as a merit."
When Han Cheng and the others heard this, they all praised Zhang Yun for having the world in mind.
Zhang Yun is ready to extend his claws to the rich people in the city.
Zhang Yun prepared the whole fruit bowl and slaughtered them fiercely.
As soon as he thought of this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.
After returning to the city, Zhang Yun immediately went straight home.
Last night, he had saltpeter put in water to see if he could make ice, after all, it dissolves in water and absorbs heat.
"Master, it's really done." As soon as Zhang Yun entered the house, someone hurriedly came to report.
Seeing a lot of ice cubes lying on the plate, Zhang Yun was overjoyed.
However, even with saltpeter, the conditions for making ice are still harsh, and the surrounding temperature must be low in the first place.
But for now, it should be enough.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yun's restaurant and branch launched a chilled watermelon in the capital, 100 pieces of watermelon, which was popular throughout Beijing in an instant.
The dignitaries and dignitaries in the city were full of discussions.
"This kid isn't stupid, this ice cube is so expensive, you can taste this delicacy for 100 wen."
"Who's to say it's not, what a loser."
"Well, let's go and try it together tonight."
“.....”
How does Zhang Yun do loss-making business, he just adds the cost of ice making, and it is enough for him to make a lot of money.
Some people say that selling ice cubes directly is not faster than making money here? It's small, the pattern is small.
Zhang Yun is still thinking about taking a hand in the melon farmers, Zhang Yun alone can feed many melon farmers.
Now it can be said to be a win-win situation, Zhang Yun said that he has earned, melon farmers have also earned, and local tyrants who come to consume have also earned.
