Li Yuan hadn't seen Xu Chongguang for a long time.

At the end of April, when I came to Yamen, I didn't see anyone.

When I came over this time, I was shocked when I saw someone who had lost a lot of weight.

When Xu Chongguang came to Liuyun County in the first month, he was still a little fat.

Not to mention the big belly, but the double chin is still extremely obvious.

Well, it can even be said that it is white and fat.

However, the haggard, dark, and thinner man in front of him is the same as in his memory.

If it weren't for the similar facial features and the official robe still on her body, she might have thought that she recognized the wrong person.

"Lord Xu!"

As the weather became hotter and hotter, Xu Chongguang began to sleep at night after sending people to check the upstream embankment after the Dragon Boat Festival.

Seeing Li Yuan at this time, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, and cheered up: "Why do my younger brothers and sisters have time to come over today?" ”

"The folk woman is here for the watermelon today, do you want more?"

When Xu Chongguang heard that it was a watermelon, he looked at Li Yuan with burning eyes.

"Yes, naturally. Brother and sister, we are all our own people, you don't have to be so restrained. How many watermelons do you have over there? What is the price now, I have limited silver on hand now, if it is too much, I may not be able to eat it, can I owe some of it on credit? ”

"I think the adults also know that I have a good relationship with the Su family in Fucheng, and the eldest lady of the Su family came to buy the watermelons of my Li family, and they were sold by one, two taels a piece."

As soon as Li Yuan said this, Xu Chongguang's brows furrowed, and Master Bai, who had just come in from outside, also frowned.

Their silver was limited, and as the number of merchants dwindled, and after the departure of the wealthy merchants and rich peasants, they had little additional income.

If one costs two taels, then they can only ask for three hundred, which is very different from what they expected.

Just these six hundred taels were obtained from the rich merchants and rich peasants who had left their families since April.

Now that the people are leaving, they don't want a penny in dealing with the road guide.

There is no silver in the county treasury, the summer harvest has not arrived, and the monthly silver of the yamen officials Xu and others was all snatched from Aunt Rou and given to the cushion first.

He just wanted to move the money from the county treasury first, but it didn't work!

When Li Yuan saw them like this, he said, "But with the relationship between the adults and Brother Xie of us, this silver naturally can't be counted like this." I still give it to the adults according to what I gave to Brother Cao before, one pound and one hundred Wen. I don't know how much adults want, I have a lot over there, if adults can't eat it, I'll give the rest to Brother Cao. He hasn't left with Shopkeeper Guo and the head of the Min family now, but he's still waiting for the watermelon on my side. ”

Xu Chongguang was relieved when he heard that he was given a pound and 100 yuan.

"Six thousand pounds? No, 5,000 catties, I want 5,000 catties here. ”

He also had to keep some silver to transport him back to the capital.

"Yes, it's all in the Xie family, will the adults transport it away today?"

"Today! Lao Bai, you go with your brother and sister, I go to the dart game, I talked to Min Weizhong before, he helped me transport this batch of watermelons to the dock in Liufeng County. ”

"Yes!"

After Li Yuan left the yamen, he said to Master Bai: "Master Bai, I still have to go to Cao's house, are you going with you?" ”

"It's all acquaintances, let's go together! Brother and sister, I'm here to catch the car, and you get into the car to hide from the sun. ”

Li Yuan was not polite to him, and immediately got into the carriage and sat in the carriage.

When the two of them arrived at Cao's house, Li Yuan found that the daughters of the Cao family were also gone.

Now there is a huge Cao family, and there are not many people left at all.

As soon as Cao Zhi saw Li Yuan, he knew that the watermelon he was waiting for was coming, and he immediately smiled and squinted.

"My brother and sister are here, I don't know if it's for watermelon?"

"Yes! Brother Cao, is it convenient to come with me now? ”

"Convenient, convenient, I've already prepared it here, and I can go at any time."

"That's it, this time, the watermelons are all on the Xie family's side in the east of the city."

"That's good, go! My brother and sister will go back first, and I'll bring someone directly over later. ”

"Good!"

Li Yuan took out a lot of watermelons this time, and she didn't take the opportunity to raise the price.

Whether it is Cao Zhi or Xu Chongguang, one pound is sold for 100 yuan.

After all the watermelons in the house were transported, she had more than a thousand taels in her space.

Wang Can closed the door, sat on the threshold of the hall with Li Yuan, and beat his shoulders.

After a while, he calmed down, and then said, "Sister, they don't want strawberries now, what should we do?" Wait for winter and sell it again in the capital? ”

"Well, the space won't be bad anyway, and when there are fewer fresh melons and fruits in winter, let's take out the strawberries and watermelons again, and they will definitely be able to sell them at a high price."

Wang Can hesitated, and then asked, "Sister, is the watermelon in your current space still growing fast?" When it comes to winter, won't the space be full? Also, how much have you saved, Sister Grain? ”

"I don't know how much food there is, anyway, it's a lot, I estimate that it will not be a problem for two or three years to raise our entire Li Jiaao. But you should know that my grain is mixed together. Also, since the last time a child under the age of seven in my clan left with those who were pregnant with Rokka, my growth rate has slowed down. After the third uncle and three aunts left, the speed slowed down again. ”

Wang Can thought for a moment and asked, "Sister, haven't you been in prison to see Liu Dongsheng for a long time?" ”

"He had a great life, and he was exiled at the end of March."

Wang Can showed pity in his eyes, and said with emotion: "It's still a good fate, I thought I could fight from time to time." But in this case, what about the changes in your space? ”

"It's a good space, there's so much land, there's a stream, there's chickens and ducks, there's pigs and fish. Brother Xie did experiments before, bought eggs and came in to incubate. Now that it's hatched, the speed is not much different from the outside, but it can be kept inside. ”

"What about the fish and pigs you said, sister?"

"Fish, I also wanted to buy fry to raise in them, but they may be live creatures, so I can't bring them in. As for pigs, the same. It doesn't matter, it's faster on the inside than outside. The people of our Li Jiaao raise pigs, and every pig is caught at the beginning of the year, and it is not killed and sold until the end of the year. Fish too, have to be raised for months, some even a year or two. In space, these two kinds of time can be cut in half. ”

"The chickens and ducks that come with it don't even use half of them, and they can lay eggs on their own. Unless I want to kill, I'll keep keeping those few alive. But fortunately, the chickens and ducks that are brought in and hatched outside can also be raised, but the speed is slower. ”

Wang Can listened to this, and said with a satisfied smile: "Sister, we are all God's beloved people, I have spiritual spring water, which can make myself and the people around me have a healthy body, and even shorten the planting time of many things." And you, you don't have to do anything, you have a lifetime of rice, noodles, meat and vegetables. ”
