Chapter 369: Meet the Gift, Good Price
put it on the table, Yu Shi picked up a piece first, gave it to Master Li, and asked Xiao Tao to give it to Liu Zhijiang, Zhao Xiaolan, and Liu Yiyi.
However, they refused, and there was a melon at home, which was given to the guests.
After Yu Shi and Master Li took a bite, they glanced at each other and saw amazement in each other's eyes.
This melon is very good!
Yu Shi ate several pieces in a row, and then said with a smile: "Oh, this melon is so delicious, I'm starting to be greedy." ”
"The melons at home taste good, otherwise I wouldn't dare to send those ordinary things to Mrs. Zhao Xiaolan complimented and said, "Madam, Master Li, we have already delivered our wishes, and we should go back, and we will come to the door another day." ”
If they are interested, they will naturally offer to buy it.
If they weren't interested, they would go back.
So that each other's faces look good and are not embarrassed.
Yu's impression of Zhao Xiaolan and Liu Zhijiang is a little better, they are not the kind of people who are scheming about benefits, and the melons in this house are indeed very good.
"Hehe, don't worry, brothers and sisters of the Liu family, I just tasted this melon, and it's really good." Yu Shi said with a smile, "I have a shop in my hand, I want all these melons for you, in previous years, these melons cost two dollars a catty, and I will give you four dollars a catty, is this good?" ”
Upon hearing that the price was doubled, Chao Xiaolan and Liu Zhijiang were very happy.
"Madame is merciful, such a price is excellent." Liu Zhijiang said gratefully, the melons at home are generally about four catties, and one melon costs fifteen or sixteen yuan.
Today, I brought more than 180 melons, which can be sold for more than two taels of silver.
Seeing this, Yu Shi nodded, "Okay, I'll let the housekeeper come with you and send the melon over there directly." In the future, you will send as many as you have, and you will not need to sell them on hot days. ”
"Thank you, madam, thank you, Lord Li." Liu Zhijiang thanked and prepared to leave with the steward.
Yu said to Xiao Tao: "Go and bring the silver bracelet worn by the pair of children on my cabinet, this little Jiu'er comes to my house for the first time, how can you not give a meeting gift?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan hurriedly refused, "Madame can buy my family's melon, and the price is high, I am already grateful, how can I ask Mrs. for a gift?" ”
Xiao Tao had already brought a greeting gift from the house and put it in front of Yu's family, and she obediently retreated behind Yu's family.
Yu Shi smiled and said: "My lord has always mentioned you in front of me, saying that your family is honest and diligent, and it is rare to be a good person."
Since we have such a fate because of good seeds, how can we not cherish it? This bracelet is sterling silver, although it is not the best, but it is stronger, and I hope that the younger brothers and sisters of the Liu family will not dislike it. ”
So while speaking, he stood up in person, walked to Liu Yiyi's side, and put Liu Yiyi on his wrist.
"Thank you, ma'am." Liu Yiyi thanked and said, "I still have crisp melons and cold melons in my house in the back, and I will definitely honor my wife when the time comes." ”
Yu Shi pinched Liu Yiyi's little fleshy face and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll wait!" ”
The steward took Liu Zhijiang, Zhao Xiaolan, and Liu Yiyi down.
Master Li drank the tea, chuckled and asked, "Madam, this family is good, right?" ”
"Hehe, the people who can be praised by the master, they are all excellent." Yu Shi said with a smile, "The old man was able to gain a firm foothold in Meiling County, thanks to these good breeds. This is still wheat, and I heard that the yield of rice is better. ”
Master Li nodded, "Yes, I heard that the yield of rice per mu was more than 500 catties last year, and I went to see it twice today, and the growth is good." The villagers who also used his family's seeds did not seem to be as good as his family. As Madame described, this house is like a land god, and everything is planted very well. ”
"That's really a great creation, master, when we get along with the Liu family, we have to be respected, we can't bully others, and we can be proud of ourselves." Yu Shi smiled and reminded Xianggong.
Master Li nodded, "That's natural, the county master's political achievements in the past few years may depend on the Liu family." ”
"Hehe, the county master is fine, and our days are good." Yu Shi smiled, "Finally settled down, let's work hard, you are honest, if you still want to continue the scientific examination, I will also support you." As for me, I opened a shop and earned some money to support my two sons to study. Our daughter is not too young, and it is time to save some dowry······"
The husband and wife chattered and talked.
Seeing that the sun was getting big outside, Master Li simply didn't go out, anyway, today is a day off, and the county master doesn't need to go to the office.
Liu Yiyi's family followed the steward to find the second uncle, came to a medium-sized restaurant in Meiling County, and entered through the back door.
Steward Li weighed the melons, a total of seven hundred and thirty catties, a total of two hundred and nine dollars of silver. However, the steward saw that the lady was so enthusiastic about these people, and directly gave three taels of silver.
Liu Zhijiang naturally thanked him and left.
Liu Zhihe was dizzy and walked out with his brother, these melons were actually sold for three taels of silver!
Oh my God, the melons at home can be sold several times, and the melons alone can buy more than a dozen taels of silver.
Liu Zhihe hugged Liu Yiyi and said excitedly: "My little Jiu'er is a little God of Wealth, no matter what you do, you can make money······
Liu Zhijiang heard the second brother's voice speak so loudly, and hurriedly reminded, "This is on the street, don't say that, if someone else hears it, we won't be able to keep this silver!" ”
Liu Zhihe nodded again and again, there are many thieves on the street!
"Big brother, let's go home quickly!" Liu Zhihe said excitedly, and couldn't wait to share the good news with his family.
This is just a melon, and there are a lot of crispy melons and cold melons in the back!
Liu Yiyi saw that her father and uncle were in a hurry to go home, and hurriedly said crisply: "Daddy, when we came out just now, we promised the starling to buy sugar gourds!"
There is also a seventh brother at home, let's buy a few more strings! And now it's noon, I'm hungry, even if we don't eat in this place, let's buy a few buns and take a look on the road, it's better than being hungry and rushing all the way home! ”
Zhao Xiaolan smiled when she heard Liu Yiyi's reminder, "What Yiyi said is true!" It's two hours before we get home, and it's already afternoon! ”
Liu Zhijiang took out the money and handed it to Liu Zhihe, "Second brother, you go buy some sugar gourds and buns, I'll wait for you at the gate here!" ”
"It's big brother!" Liu Zhihe took the money and left in a hurry.
Liu Zhijiang had three taels of silver on him, so he didn't wander around, but there were officers and soldiers standing guard at the city gate.
There are not many thieves in this place, it should be safe.
Liu Zhijiang is very active, and Liu Yiyi and Zhao Xiaolan are also observing everywhere.
After a while, Liu Zhihe hurried over with five strings of sugar gourds and oiled paper buns.
Several people did not rush to eat, but hurriedly got into the ox cart and went out of the city.
