Liu Yiyi nodded, "You can take a day off, but it's definitely not today!" Brother, they go to school for ten days and have one day off, so do we! If you don't study hard, I won't give you any good things to eat in the future! ”

Liu Qilang swallowed the sugar gourd in his mouth, "Xiao Jiu'er, I write, I'm obedient!" ”

"Brother Seven is awesome!" Liu Yiyi praised and said, "Next time, I'll bring you other delicious food!" ”

When Liu Balang heard his sister's words, he suddenly felt that he had fallen out of favor, and hurriedly squeezed in front of Seventh Brother, "Xiao Jiu'er, I also learn, and you will give me delicious food!" ”

Liu Yiyi nodded proudly, "That's right!" If the young man does not work hard, the boss will be sad! The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning! The ancients smelled the chickens and danced, let's get up early tomorrow morning to endorse the book! ”

Although he wanted to be lazy, Liu Hachiro was worried that he had no status in front of his sister, so he didn't refute it, so he could only become studious.

When Mrs. Liu saw her little granddaughter, teaching her little grandson seriously, she suddenly cried and laughed.

Age is not about size, the key is about the head.

In this way, Xiao Jiu'er has been smart since he was a child, Hachiro has listened to Xiao Jiu'er since he was a child, and even Qilang, who is three years older, listens to Liu Yiyi's words.

At dinner in the evening, everyone discussed eagerly because of the silver from selling melons.

"I just looked at it in the melon field, and I can pick dozens of them tomorrow morning!" Liu Zhijiang said, "If I pick the melon early tomorrow morning, I'll just send it over alone!" ”

Liu Yiyi was reluctant to run back and forth on such a hot day, "Dad! Just a few dozen melons, just one trip, isn't it too hard? Can't you send it once every two days? Anyway, our melons are of good quality, and they won't spoil in a day or two! ”

Liu Zhijiang saw that his daughter felt sorry for him, and was quite moved, and hugged Xiao Jiu'er, "What's the matter if it's hot, and it's cool to leave when you get up in the morning." ”

"That's not good, once every two days, so that our cattle can rest, it's too tiring to go back and forth a day." Liu Yiyi continued to persuade, she was distressed.

Mrs. Liu also nodded, "Xiao Jiu'er is reasonable, anyway, it's not that the melon can't be put away, so I can go to the county seat once every two days, and I can send a little more at a time." ”

The elder spoke, and Liu Zhijiang had no choice but to respond.

In the county seat they don't know, in the Qianli Xiang Restaurant, each table, according to the number of people, is given a few small melons.

Free of charge, to the guest fragrant mouth.

But this tastes so good, fragrant and sweet, it's not enjoyable to eat a piece at all!

Especially on a hot day, eating these chilled melons is not to mention how refreshing it tastes.

The people who come here to eat are all decent people, and of course they can afford to eat melons.

The four pennies were bought, and the tencents a pound in the restaurant were in short supply, and many people not only bought them and ate them on the table, but also took them away.

More than 130 melons were sold in one night.

Seeing that there were only dozens of melons left in the restaurant, Steward Li didn't bother to report to his wife, so he hurriedly led people to Liujia Village early the next morning.

The next day, when everyone got up to work, they saw a carriage parked in front of their house.

Liu Yiyi ran at the door with the seventh brother and the eighth brother, and then saw a person getting off the carriage.

"Oh, Grandpa Li, why are you here?" Liu Yiyi asked in surprise, I saw the steward in Master Li's restaurant yesterday.

I came early in the morning, it must have been because of the melon matter.

Judging from Steward Li's slightly flattering smile, he guessed that her family's melons must be very popular in the county.

Steward Li also saw Xiao Jiu'er, and knew that he hadn't found the wrong person, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu'er, is your father and mother here?" ”

"Hehe, my father and mother are here." Liu Yiyi said with a smile and shouted loudly, "Dad, mother, Grandpa Li from Master Li's family is here." ”

The people who were working put down the tools in their hands, Liu Zhijiang walked over quickly, and was also stunned when he saw that it was Manager Li.

"Steward Li, please come inside, you rushed over so early, what's the matter?" Liu Zhijiang asked, his heart jumping.

He also guessed that it must be because of the melon at home.

Steward Li didn't care about greetings, and hurriedly said: "Zhijiang, I won't go around in circles, I'll make a long story short." How many melons do you have in your house now? ”

After listening to this, Liu Zhijiang said with a smile: "This year's planting is less, although I can pick dozens today, but it is too troublesome to run back and forth to the county, so I want to send it once every two days." ”

As soon as he heard this, Steward Li understood what was going on.

The farmer's ox cart is slow, and it is not easy to go to the county seat, and it takes a long time to go back and forth, so Steward Li nodded, "I don't need you to send it in person in the future, I will let someone pull it." Just take it off every morning. By the way, can you show me there? Pick it now, I'll take it back. ”

"Uncle Li, please here, just over there, I'll pick it up with you." Liu Zhijiang brought people over, and then began to greet his wife, and his younger siblings began to pick melons.

Mrs. Liu took her three daughters-in-law, carefully selected, and picked sixty-three, a total of two hundred and sixty-seven catties, according to four cents per catty, a total of 1,68 wen.

This steward Li directly gave one tael of silver.

"Oh, it's a pity, why do you only grow so little of such a good melon?" Steward Li looked at this melon field, which was only more than one acre in total.

Among them, the melon is only three points of land, and it is estimated that it is only enough to sell for ten days.

Liu Zhijiang said with a smile: "Originally, I just tried to grow it at home, but I didn't expect it to taste so good." Next year my family will be diverse. The crispy melon and cold melon over there will ripen in a few days, and the taste must be good. ”

"I'll taste it when it's ripe, and if it's good, I'll definitely give it a high price." Steward Li smiled and said, "Okay, I should go back too."

Tomorrow I will ask the coachman to come by himself, and you will pick the melons, put them in a frame, and carry them to the carriage. As for the silver, you are also a small business, and I will not embarrass you, but I will pay you on the same day. ”

Liu Zhijiang thanked, "Thank you, Uncle Li." ”

Steward Li came and went in a hurry, and the carriage disappeared at the door of the house.

Although these melons are transported back and forth, they are sold in the restaurant for ten cents a catty, and they are only three taels of silver.

However, as the best melon, it can attract more diners to eat at the door of the county, and it is the big money to earn that money.

The melon is just a gimmick, and they have delicious melons that other restaurants don't have, which is an advantage.

When I went back today, I said that the quantity was limited and I couldn't take it home, so I could only buy it at the store and eat it in the store.

In this way, some diners may come to the shop to eat again because of the melon!

Even if I bring back more than 60 of them today, there are still dozens of them in the restaurant, which is not enough to sell.

The diners were a little angry when they heard that they couldn't buy it back and eat it, but the next day they would bring their families over for dinner and eat some chilled melons.

Business is actually 30% better than before.

Such a change made Steward Li very happy and immediately reported to Yu.
