Chapter 277: Seeing the Return

"Heh, this is our own planting, if the uncle buys a car, it must be two taels of silver a catty, but if you buy one, it will cost four taels of silver a catty."

Hu Liu, who reacted, immediately sat on the ground and raised the price, picked up the watermelon knife with a smile, cut a small piece on the split watermelon, and sent it directly to the old man.

Ben was a little annoyed that Hu Liu sat on the ground and raised the price, but when he saw the cold melon handed to his mouth, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The red flesh makes the already hot and dry body want to eat it immediately.

And this cold melon, he has only seen his masters eat it, and he has seen them praise it endlessly, where does he have the blessing to eat it in this identity, so he was moved at this moment.

Although Hu Liu's cut watermelon was a small piece, the old man only hesitated for a moment before taking a bite of it.

The full moisture and sweet taste directly made the old man who was so hot that his throat smoked that his eyes lit up!

"It turns out that the taste of cold melon is like this, no wonder our old lady and young master and young lady say it is delicious!"

"Since the uncle is so satisfied, and this, this cold melon is not available at any time, just buy one for yourself, and then buy one for you, the old lady, right?"

"I'll eat it myself, I'll buy one for the old lady and them, and you can pick one for me that is big and sweet enough."

The old man was not stingy, listening to his conversation, Hu Liu could see that this person wanted to be a housekeeper or something like that of a big family.

Let's not talk about whether you can find a target customer for the time being, but it's good to be able to open.

After a while, Hu Liu selected a watermelon of ten catties for the old man, and when he weighed a full thirteen catties, the old man took out a silver ingot of fifty taels, which was stuffed into Hu Liu's hand, and Hu Liu hurriedly made change.

Looking at the big silver ingot, he changed to a watermelon like that, and the other dozens of brothers who were hiding in the distance had big eyes!

"Zhang Guard, you asked Hu Liu and Wu Er to sell, sure enough, they are not wrong, just the two of them, the mouth is the most eloquent, Hu Liu is too powerful, Miss priced two taels of silver a catty, he, he actually sold someone for four taels of silver a catty."

Hearing the sighs of the people around him, Zhang Hu's face, which had always been a little anxious, gradually relaxed.

After working for a few months to grow melons, and after so many hardships, today is finally seeing the return, can he not be happy?

"Oh, uncle, do you want to try our tomato after you bought a cold melon? We are brothers, this fruit is guaranteed to have never been seen before, and this taste is a must! ”

As he spoke, Wu Er picked a slightly smaller tomato, wiped it on his body, and enthusiastically sent it to the old man.

Originally, looking at this red and bright tomato, the old man was quite rare, but when he saw Wu Er's movements, and then looked at Wu Er's dusty clothes, he hadn't changed his clothes for several days, where could the old man still eat?

"Master, don't dislike it, I have water here, wash it for you and taste it, and make sure you don't regret it."

Looking at the slight disgust in the old man's eyes, Hu Liu hurriedly stepped forward, took out the water bladder, and rinsed the tomatoes in Wu's second-hand hand, and at this time, there were more and more onlookers, and there was an endless stream of people asking for the price, but one by one they heard that the cold melon cost four taels of silver a catty, and these people were all embarrassed for a while, so they had to watch, and they didn't dare to ask more.

The old man was surrounded by a large group of people, took the tomato that Hu Liu had rinsed, put it to his mouth, and took a bite, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The slight sourness was only a moment before the sweetness of the tomato filled his mouth, and it was a new experience, which directly made the old man couldn't help but take a big bite again.

"Uh-huh, yes, what kind of fruit is this? The taste is very good, and the old ladies and ladies who want to come to our house must like it. ”

"Uncle, this fruit is called tomato, it is a species from overseas, if you buy it back, your old lady, Mrs. and Miss will definitely praise you!" And let me tell you, if you eat this fruit for a long time, you can still maintain your figure, and you can also remove spots, so that Mrs. Miss and they will look better. ”

"Really? Then weigh me ten pounds! ”

When he heard that it was so good, and the taste was so good, the old man was moved.

If he can please the masters of the family, he will definitely be rewarded.

"Okay, I'll pretend to you right away!"

"Oh, by the way, this fruit is so delicious, what price?"

The old man handed out his basket, suddenly remembered this, and immediately straightened his face, and asked.

"Three taels of silver is a catty, and ten catties is thirty taels. Uncle, let me tell you, this tomato can also make a lot of food, I will send you a recipe for making food with tomatoes later, you take it back and let the cook make it according to the above method, you want to say that your wife likes to eat, and your old and young masters will definitely like it when the time comes. ”

In order to promote his tomatoes, Yu Luo did enough work, and directly distributed the copied recipes, and asked several stewards to bring hundreds of them each.

Tomato scrambled eggs, tomato egg soup, tomato egg drop soup, tomato potato beef stew, tomato boiled fish.

As soon as the recipe was given, the more the old man looked at it, the more happy he became!

"I didn't expect to be able to cook, the ten catties are a little less, you can send me a hundred catties to the house."

"Huh? So, why don't I pick a hundred catties for you and put it here, and then the lord will give a deposit of one hundred taels, and then let people pick it up after returning home, we don't have enough manpower, and there is no way to deliver it to the door. ”

Seeing this, Wu Er's brain turned quickly, and he immediately found such an excuse.

Looking at the two carriages, there were only two brothers, and the old man was not embarrassed, so he immediately took out a hundred taels and handed them to Hu Liu.

"Then load ten catties for me first, I'll take it back first, and I'll let someone take the silver later, it just so happens that the silver on my body is almost spent, you won't leave, right?"

"No, no! Uncle, you are joking, if you come to buy a hundred catties, I can sell it for three hundred taels of silver, which is not cost-effective than taking a hundred taels of silver and running away. ”

Seeing Hu Liu jokingly saying this, the old man also laughed and felt that it made sense.

As soon as the old man left, their stall was surrounded again.

Some conditions are good, buy two or three tomatoes and go back to try them, and some conditions are not good, you can only look at them, and the price of watermelons also scared off many people.

But after a while, I met a few rich owners, and a few more watermelons were sold, and tomatoes were sold for dozens of catties.

But even so, Zhang Hu was still a little worried.

"No, when do I have to sell it little by little, I have to go into the city to find someone to order, otherwise there are tens of thousands of catties of watermelons and tomatoes in the field, and if I sell them like this, when will I sell them?"

Hearing Zhang Hu say this, more than a dozen brothers looked at him with worried eyes.

"Guard Zhang, then you have to be careful."

"I know, you look at a little bit here, it's really too busy, you also go to a few people to help them, and the eight truckloads of goods, you take care of it, don't go wrong."

"Yes!"

Zhang Hu picked up a watermelon, packed a bag of tomatoes, and left.

But he cautiously did not dare to go to the main gate at all, but followed the city wall and left with light skills.

Not long after Zhang Hu left, something happened!

Hu Liu's news of selling high-priced fruits slowly reached the ears of those gatekeepers, and seven or eight soldiers directly took the guys and surrounded their stalls!
