Chapter 374: You can't be shocked if you don't want to

When Li Yuan arrived at Lijiaao, he first put away all the things that Wang Can had explained.

Immediately after releasing the watermelons and strawberries in the space, he used the kettle to dilute some spiritual spring water and used it to water the strawberries and watermelons in the field.

As soon as she poured the watermelon, Xie Yanzhi's voice came from outside the door.

"Yuanniang open the door, Brother Cao, Lord Xu and Master Bai are here!"

When Li Yuan brought back the watermelons grown by Wang Can before, Xie Yanzhi asked for two from her.

One of them is Cao Zhi for gai, and the other is for Xu Chongguang.

Cao Zhi didn't say anything, he had a good eye, and after eating the watermelon, he knew how much benefit this thing could bring him.

Of course, he also understands that the reason why people are willing to find him, or deliberately give him this taste, is also based on the previous happy relationship.

And Xu Chongguang is thinking about political achievements, Xie Yanzhi promised him that if the people of Liuyun County can survive the disaster year this year, the watermelon will be fully spread in the entire Liuyun County in the coming year.

Xu Chongguang is not a very bright person, but Master Bai next to him will draw a big cake for him, so he is also ambitious.

No, he didn't have time to rest when he returned to the yamen, and when he learned that there was a batch of watermelons here in Lijiaao and wanted to sell them to Brother Cao, he called Master Bai to follow.

Li Yuan heard the sound outside the door and opened the door.

When she saw several carriages lined up outside the door, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Because now the people in the entire Li Jiaao have planted sweet potatoes and have one heart, the struggle value of the space has increased a lot.

When the struggle value reaches a certain point, the prestige value increases.

And this makes the land that originally didn't grow much faster now.

Correspondingly, there are a lot of watermelons in the space.

She is going to sell all the watermelons today, and when Su Mingshan comes in April and May, all the watermelons grown here in Lijiaao will be sold to Su Mingshan.

And in her own space, when the time comes, it depends on the situation, and then decides who to sell to.

Brother Cao and Xu Xianling had both eaten the watermelons sent by Xie Yanzhi, and when they stepped into the Li family, their eyes lit up when they looked at the ones planted in the ground.

One thought is how much you can make from it.

The other wants to wait for the next year, and the people of the entire county will plant and sell it, how much can the tax in the county government increase.

What kind of evaluation can he get for his political achievements?

Li Yuan didn't see the expressions of the two, and after inviting the two of them in, she said to Xie Yanzhi: "Brother Xie, the watermelons are all in the new house, the door is not closed, you go and pick two of them to open them and ask everyone to try them, and I will call the patriarch and grandpa to come over." ”

Xie Yanzhi knew that Li Yuan wanted them to come over and watch the process of selling watermelons with his own eyes, so that they could know the price of watermelons and give the clansmen a reassurance.

Li Yuan had just finished saying this, and before he had gone far, he saw Old Man Li, Li Qinghua and others coming.

"Master, Uncle Hua, it's just right that you're here, Lord Xu and Brother Cao happen to be at home, and I'm about to invite you."

Old man Li was confused, and he didn't know what to do with so many carriages suddenly coming to the house, so he asked, "Yuan Niang, what are so many carriages for?" ”

"Watermelon and strawberries! Master, you just happened to come over to take a look at the prices of these two melons and fruits. ”

Seeing this, Li Qinghua and Old Man Li glanced at each other and quickened their pace into the Li family.

Xie Yanzhi happened to come out of the new house with a basket.

Two watermelons sit underneath the basket, and strawberries are served in separate bowls on top.

When he saw people, he called out to Uncle Hua and Lord, and washed these things directly by the well in the yard

Li Duo also came, he looked at the strawberries and watermelons in the courtyard, compared his own, and silently withdrew his gaze.

Xie Yanzhi had already washed the strawberries, so he said to him: "Big brother, you help me bring the strawberries in, let everyone taste them first." I went to the kitchen to get a knife and went into the hall to cut the watermelon. ”

"Good!"

Li Duo reacted and entered the hall with a bowl of strawberries.

The people present, including Li Duo and Old Man Li, who also grow strawberries at home, have never eaten strawberries.

When Xie Yanzhi entered the hall with a knife and a watermelon, Li Yuan also followed the other elders of the Li clan in.

The small hall of the Li family was filled with people in a short time.

After Xie Yanzhi opened the watermelon, Li Yuan took the knife and cut it into thin slices neatly, asking Li Duo to help divide it.

When Xu Chongguang and Brother Cao ate it, they both felt that the watermelon this time was even more delicious than the one sent by Xie Yanzhi before.

Because the time was not early, Brother Cao knew that this melon and fruit was planted by Li Yuan, so he asked straight to the point: "These two things, I don't know how to sell them for my brother and sister?" ”

"What price can Brother Cao give?"

"The sweet and sour fruit in the bowl just now is fragrant, although it is delicious, but it is not easy to transport at a glance, I will give 200 wen for a catty. In addition, this melon, on sale, the small ones are all 500 Wen, and the big ones are 800 Wen, what do the younger siblings think? ”

Not to mention Li Yuan's reaction, the elders of the Li clan present couldn't help but gasp when they heard this price.

You must know that they work hard for a year to plant the land, and grow two crops of rice in one acre of paddy field.

After deducting taxes, it is far from worth the price.

It's just the price of a watermelon, and it's impossible for them not to be shocked.

Xie Yanzhi was not satisfied with this price, and before Li Yuan could speak, he said: "Brother Cao, it's cheap, this is the first one in Yunguo!" ”

In business, Brother Cao said directly: "It's not cheap, the fruit that was just packed in the bowl of the two items is extremely difficult to transport, and I have to count the loss in it." In addition, this melon is delicious and good to quench my thirst, but when you sent it to me before, I tried to use a little force with my hand to pat it and it cracked. Therefore, when transported to other places, as long as there are bumps on the road, those melons will inevitably crack when they collide with each other. We have to include this loss. ”

Li Yuan said: "That's what I said, but Brother Cao can have a layer of straw and a layer of watermelon." As far as I can see, these things don't need to be shipped out if you want to come to Brother Cao, and we can sell them out in Liuyun County. Like Minfu and the like, there are many people, how can one or two melons work? They should have an ice cellar in their house, you can buy a few more watermelons, put them in the ice cellar, and wait for the hot day to take them out and eat, not to mention, the taste is exceptionally good. There are also those merchants in Liuyun County, don't you want to buy and try it? ”

Xie Yanzhi also said: "The price of cream strawberries is cheaper, and there are not many fruits in themselves, and they are more troublesome to grow than watermelons." Therefore, the lowest price of a catty is at least two taels, if Brother Cao thinks it is inappropriate, then I will find someone else to cooperate with this business. ”

Of course, Brother Cao knew that cream strawberries were good, but he was really not easy to transport this thing, and he didn't know how many there were on the Li family's side.

If there are too many, he can't buy it and sell it as soon as possible, so he has to smash it in his hands, which is really not cost-effective.
