After all, they are ordinary people. Kowtows and thanksgiving are messy, but they are definitely sincere.
The good news was in Mrs. Li's arms, and she was so happy that she ran straight to Gao'er!
These two names are the best talismans. Even if outsiders are jealous and want to rob it, they don't dare to come openly.
Obviously, Mr. Liu and Mr. Wen understand this truth better and plan to make full use of it.
So, after returning to Li's house and sitting down, the two people discussed with the villagers and set the price of cold melons at three taels of silver each and musk melons at five hundred cents each.
The price is not particularly high, but it is definitely not low either.
The villagers' hands trembled with excitement when they thought about the large melon vines in the river beach.
How much silver will this cost?
One cold melon is worth one month's salary!
The village chief banged the pipe pot and shouted to everyone.
"Please wake up, don't be knocked unconscious by the money. We are here today. First, we are lucky to have found a good place like Broken Gold Beach. Second, the Marquis sent people to find such precious melons. Third, we are here today." It was Mr. Liu and Mr. Wen who helped deliver it to the emperor and got the name.
"Otherwise, as soon as the news spreads, the melon fields will be trampled immediately, and we won't be able to leave any one." So, keep your hearts to yourself and don't let me hear the nonsense coming from anyone's mouth!
"I know, uncle, don't worry, we understand. " "The villagers hurriedly responded.
The village chief nodded and said, "The wild geese need to be hunted back first, and then we will decide whether to roast or stew them, and how many pieces each person will share. Now that I have stabilized everything, if the geese are scared away, you will have no place to cry.
He turned to Li Lao Si and asked, "Lao Si, are you going to see Mr. Ye these days? "
"Yes, uncle, we made some food at home and thought about sending it to Mr. Ye. " "Li Laosi responded.
The village chief asked, "Before leaving, go to the fields to pick cold melons and cantaloupes. It doesn't matter if others don't eat it, but Mr. Ye must try it! It is thanks to Mr. Ye that we are where we are today! Mrs. Li
shook her cattail leaf fan to drive away mosquitoes for her granddaughter, and said, "This matter has been delayed for almost half a month. Why don't we pick melons tomorrow night and leave early the next morning." Mrs.
Cui sat next to her and said, "I have been in the village these days. Why not let the fourth child drive my family's carriage? It will be faster on the road."
"Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore. " When the cold melon is sold for money, we will also add a carriage to our family. "Old Mrs. Li is also happy. Everyone likes money.
If nothing else, at least she won't have to worry about providing for her eldest grandson to study in the future. Everything that is missing can be added.
The people in the village are also smiling from ear to ear, thinking in their hearts . The more he thought about how to spend the money he had given to his family, the happier he became.
There is never a shortage of well-informed people in this world. That day the emperor received two good fruits and rewarded them to several important ministers and relatives.
The next day, the whole New Year Everyone knows about this.
Some people say that the jade melon and golden fruit are in the sky and on the earth, while others are skeptical.
But when asked about the people who have been rewarded, all of them are full of praise, "Relieve summer heat." The best products are much better than those sent by foreign vassals. "
Everyone couldn't help being curious, so they started to inquire more and more.
Soon, because it was Old Master Liu who brought the people to pay tribute with melons and fruits, someone started to inquire about Liu Zhiheng.
Liu Zhiheng was also unceremonious, and the jade melon cost five taels of silver each, and the gold fruit cost one Two silvers each, those who want to buy must book in advance, and the quantity is small, each person cannot buy too much.
Things are rare and expensive, and jade melons and golden fruits were quickly snatched up and sought after.
There were also smart people who found the broken pieces. Jintan wanted to buy some from the village.
But the villagers made it clear that the jade melons and golden fruits were given to Liu Zhiheng for sale, and the village only provided extra supplies to the hot spring valley.
Guests who came to the hot springs could also pick and eat them fresh. Guaranteed freshness.
But over there in the hot spring valley, things have been boiling for a long time.
The guests all wanted to taste the fruits that the emperor praised personally, and the boys were so busy that they went crazy.
One melon was worth five cents, and one portion cost a hundred cents. A jade melon is divided into 30 pieces, which is also a piece of 100 yuan.
In this way, whether you are an individual guest or a distinguished guest who has reserved a wooden house, you can have a fresh taste.
If you want to take it away, it's not impossible, the purchase is limited!
A small courtyard can take away two jade melons and four golden fruits.
The number of guests in the cabins is reduced by half, while individual guests can only eat in the valley and cannot take away.
Some complained about being stingy and wanted to buy more, but shut up after hearing the prices in the city.
Some people also spent their time deciding on a yard in the Hot Spring Valley, and then brought back jade melons and cantaloupes to sell them at a high price or give them as gifts.
In the nearby Dahuaishu Village, Xiaowang Village, and Dawang Village, men, women, and children heard that such a good thing had come out of Suijintan, and they started talking about it.
Most of the people were envious, and the rest were jealous, but because Broken Gold Beach was the Marquis's property, and the new fruits were named by the emperor, everyone only dared to say a few words and did not dare to act rashly.
Until, the two Li Zheng got an invitation to taste the freshness of the melon patch in Ruijintan, and brought back the latest news.
"Don't be jealous. The cold melons and cantaloupes grown in Suijintan are said to be high in price. In fact, the vendors have raised the prices. Suijintan didn't get much at all, which is just hard-earned money."
Sure enough, the villagers heard this. I feel much more balanced.
Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality. They are just dirt-legged people digging in the soil. Why should they grow golden knots and barely have enough to eat?
But some people said, "Then they must not understand the market and have suffered a loss. If they continue to sell at high prices next year, they can still make a fortune."
Li Zheng waved his hands and said with a smile, "Ruijintan is very generous and said that he will teach everyone next year. Plant cold melons and cantaloupes together. The seeds have been saved for everyone. There are not many, but we can plant a few acres in our village."
"Seriously? Haha, we are going to get rich too!" The villagers were completely happy at this, and everyone Without exception, everyone changed their tune.
"The people in Ruijintan are really good, they are not stingy!"
"Yeah, such a good thing, but they don't hide anything for themselves."
There are also smart people who are more sober, "I don't think they will make money next year, there will definitely be more people planting it. "
That should be more cost-effective than growing crops." Others retorted.
For a time, the melon fields inside and outside Kyoto were in full swing because of the melon field of Broken Gold Beach.
Up and down Broken Gold Beach, it was as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and most of the people's hands were placed in the melon fields.
Fortunately, this season is slack, and there is not much work in the crop fields.
Not to mention the commotion at Broken Gold Beach, just that Li Laosi drove a carriage, took Jiayi, Liu Yang, and Ye Shan to the dock.
It stands to reason that Jiayi and Liu Yang should stay at home to help, but they are young and playful, and it is the time when they need to gain more experience, so the family agrees that they should go with them.
The emperor moved the capital to Jiangnan. Although it was in a hurry, one year has passed and things are much better now.
The road from Jiangbian Pier to Kyoto is well built, and the carriage is less bumpy when running up it.
But because the meat, meat sauce, cold melon and cantaloupe prepared by the Li family were all fragile, no one dared to walk too fast along the way.
At night, they even found a place at the foot of a barren mountain, rested for most of the night, and then arrived at the border guard camp at the dock at three o'clock in the morning.
Ye Shan took Master Hou's token and went with Li Laosi to deal with the soldiers guarding the camp gate.
The soldiers guarding the camp gate were very strict and went in to report the situation without asking for the copper coins that Li Laosi pushed over.
After waiting for a long time, a deputy general came out.
Li Laosi looked familiar, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he was a captain who took good care of them when they first arrived at the dock. Now he has been promoted and is now with the Marquis.
The deputy general also obviously recognized Li Laosi, and had met Ye Shan before. Now he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said with a smile, "Yesterday, the Marquis was talking about home, but today a distinguished guest is here!"
Li Laosi He was also very happy, and just when he was about to repay the courtesy and speak, suddenly a horse ran up, and the soldiers jumped down, shouting loudly.
"The Marquis has orders to mobilize 500 reinforcements, hurry up!"
