Datang Nongwang

Chapter 495 Melon Listed
In the past, Wang Ting might not have taken this petty gain to heart.

But for him now, he doesn’t care what he wants. During this period of time, he has been waiting for the store to open, so as to increase his income, or to gain a good opportunity for his future, so that he can compete for the Wang family. The position of the principal.

Although there are more than ten shops of his own, there are some profits.

But compared to today, that is really incomparable.

of course.

If his royal court only counted what he got, it must be very little.

after all.

Li Chongyuan is the one who takes the lead.

Wang Ting was excited when the store opened, even Xiang Qi, who was watching from other stores, was also excited.

And at the same time.

After the news reached my family.

The old lady was also happy to see that this smiling face never fell off.

The eldest grandson empress in the palace also got a tip at this moment, and looked at it carefully with a toothbrush in her hand.

"Mother, I miss sister Wan'er, and I want to go to Lizhuang." Sizi saw her mother holding a toothbrush thinking about something, but in her heart, she was always thinking about Lizhuang.

It's been 20 days.

According to the little guy's estimation, the melons in Li Zhuang's melon field are presumably ripe.

In Lizhuang, everything is novelty and fun.

Compared with being in the palace, it is the taste of freedom.

Empress Changsun suddenly heard Sizi's voice, and quickly put aside her thoughts, "Why does Sizi want to go to Li Zhuang again? Does Sizi want to pay his respects to grandfather?"

"Yes, I miss my grandfather, and I miss my sister Wan'er too." Upon hearing his mother's words, Sizi immediately followed the words.

Watching Grandpa is a good excuse.

but.

Si Zi talks inside and outside, never leaving Wan'er behind.

The eldest grandson queen, who knew Sizi well, looked at the little man in front of her, smiled and said: "Okay, after your father comes back, you can go and beg your father, mother can't make the decision."

Sizi is leaving the palace.

Empress Changsun certainly has the right to let her out of the palace.

but.

The relationship between the couple can be described as loving each other and respecting each other like guests.

Empress Changsun will discuss most matters with Li Shimin, and the same is true for the children.

Si Zi, who got the words, immediately clapped his palms happily and ran around the hall.

Sizi certainly knows that her father loves her the most, as long as she begs softly, even if she wants a moon in the sky, her father will pick it up for her.

Li Zhuang.

Li Yuan held a piece of melon in his hand and chewed it slowly.

Wan'er, who was sitting by the side, was holding a bright white melon in her hand, biting it hard, "Uncle, the melons are so sweet. I went to the field today and saw that many of them are ripe. Is it okay?" picked it?"

"It's time to pick it. Uncle, it's the first time for me to eat such a good melon. Compared with these, I feel that the melons I ate before can be thrown away." Li Yuan replied.

There are melons in Tang country.

Even the royal gardens have melons, but not so many.

Furthermore.

The melons grown by other people are similar, and the melons produced are not watery enough, and the sweetness is not enough, so they can't catch Li Chongyuan's eyes at all.

Li Chongyuan spent a lot of money for the melon land.

Fertilizers were poured in by carts, and sandy soil was chosen for planting.

This is not.

Once the melon is ripe, the flesh is moist and sweet, and the pulp is gritty. Compared with other people's melons, the taste is really heaven and earth.

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Wan'er nodded again and again, "Uncle, yesterday I saw several watermelons in the watermelon field were bitten by something, the flesh was exposed, and they were all red. Uncle, can watermelons be eaten too?" gone?"

"Your fourth brother said that it will take some time, probably in another half a month. But the watermelon you said was bitten by something, and you have to deal with it properly. Qiao Hui, you can find someone to take a look, and don't let the beast take it The watermelons are a disaster." Li Yuan remembered that Li Chongyuan attached great importance to the melon fields, and hearing what Wan'er said, he hurriedly asked Qiao Hui to take a look.

Qiao Hui, who was waiting by the side, nodded quickly after hearing the words, "My lord, I'll go right away."

Of course, Qiao Hui also knew about the bitten watermelon.

She even knew that the melon was bitten, but she didn't tell Li Yuan.

The melons are abundantly ripe and the aroma begins to waft out.

Naturally, some wild animals will come to play the autumn wind.

Even though most of Niu Shou Mountain has been cleared out, there are still some fish that escaped the net, and some guys living in the cave.

Qiao Hui left.

Li Yuan looked at the waiter Jin who was standing behind him again, "Eat, eat, eat, you've eaten three times this morning, and you're still eating, why don't you hurry up and take a look, you don't have any vision at all."

After being reprimanded by Li Chongyuan, Jin's servant smiled awkwardly with his expression unchanged, and trotted out of the small courtyard.

Since Jin's servant came to Lizhuang.

Although it is Li Yuan's personal servant.

But as a servant, he really didn't do it well.

Fortunately, he has been with Li Yuan for many years, Li Yuan said so, if it was placed in the palace, he would definitely not have such a good time.

But here is Li Zhuang.

Li Yuan's demeanor in the palace had long since been thrown away, and the golden servant naturally changed with Li Yuan's changes.

Even though he was a servant, he knew Li Yuan well, and knew that Li Yuan's training him was just asking him to do something.

Early morning the next day.

In the melon field, many servants were busy picking ripe melons.

After the end, Qiao Su personally escorted the melon to Chang'an.

After Qiaosu brought hundreds of melons back to Chang'an's home, the old lady tasted it, and her eyes were full of light, "It's so sweet, and the water is also enough. Once the melon pulp enters the mouth, it feels like It tastes like fine sand, much better than the ones bought in the West Market, no wonder Yuan'er bought a piece of wasteland to grow melons."

"Old lady, the melon planted by Mr. Xiao Lang is this." Qiao Su gave the old lady a thumbs up.

Seeing Qiao Su give a thumbs up, the old lady smiled happily and said, "Haha, I thought Yuan'er was just a whim, but I didn't expect Yuan'er to be really good at farming. Qiao is in charge, the melon farmer How many melons are ripe? Let me see the number."

"Old lady, Mr. Xiaolang has planted [-] acres of melons, and I estimate that he can produce five or six thousand stones no matter what." Qiao Su gave the old lady an approximate value.

As for whether this value is accurate, it is really difficult to estimate at the moment.

after all.

Unlike food crops, melons need to be ripened together, but start to ripen one by one.

And this output is also an approximate value given by Li Chongyuan after pulling the vines.

The old lady nodded slightly, "Then you should have some snacks during this time. If the melons are ripe, you can pick them and send them to the Yingbin Building. This can also bring some benefits to the Yingbin Building."

Josu agrees.

Soon after, Qiao Su left the house and went to the Yingbin Building to meet Qi Huo.

At this time, the old lady, without a housekeeper, started delivering melons everywhere.

On the other hand, the old lady herself got into the carriage, took three hundred melons, and went to the palace again.

A few days ago, I went to the palace to offer toothbrush and toothpaste, but today I entered the palace again, in order to present some melons produced by Lizhuang.

After the melon went through layers of inspections, it finally entered the palace.

When Sizi saw the bright melon in the white, he rushed over immediately, "Mom, I want to eat melon, I want to eat melon."

People are small, and melons cannot be opened.

Sizi let go, and Empress Changsun would not agree, and after getting the signal from Empress Changsun, the maidservants quickly took the melon that Sizi liked, cleaned it, cut it and handed it to Sizi.

"Mother, eat melon. Aunt Tang, eat melon." Sizi was so obedient and filial, she took the sliced ​​melon and handed it to her mother and the old lady.

The old lady took it gently, and reached out to pat Sizi's little head again, "Sizi is really filial, if Wan'er is half as good as Sizi, I don't have to worry so much as a mother. "

"Sister-in-law, Sizi is so cute, I think Wan'er is very cute." Empress Changsun was extremely happy when she heard the old lady praise Sizi in front of her.

There is no reason for a mother to be unhappy, but happiness is happiness, and polite words still have to be said.

After getting the boasted sizi, he happily held his own melon and started to bite.

As soon as the melon pulp entered her small mouth, Sizi's eyes lit up, "Mother, mother, it's so sweet, so sweet, it's like eating sand."

When Empress Changsun heard Sizi's words, curiosity flickered in her eyes, she stared at the melon in her hand, and then at the old lady.

"Empress, Sizi is right. The melons grown by Yuan'er are a little different from the ones we usually eat. Not to mention the taste is good, the water content is also sufficient, and the melon flesh is also somewhat sandy. It is really delicious when you put it in your mouth. " Seeing Empress Changsun's appearance like this, the old lady knew that she was a little suspicious.

Melon.

It's not that Empress Changsun has never eaten.

In the eyes of her eldest grandson, the melons and fruits that are in season are simply out of sight.

and.

Empress Changsun's health is not very good, according to the doctor's advice, she seldom eats melons.

but.

After listening to the old lady's words, Empress Changsun, with some doubts in her eyes, took the melon in her hand and sent it to her mouth.

moment.

Empress Changsun's eyes also lit up.

Whether the melon is good or not depends on the water content, the pulp, and the sweetness.

Empress Changsun tasted it, but he couldn't stop because he just tasted it.

And this time.

The butler is the beginning of the family and brought melons.

From here to there.

After a whole morning, I never stopped.

Although the melon was not a great thing, and after the housekeeper gave the corresponding explanation when delivering the melon, the people in each mansion, like the eldest grandson empress, couldn't stop talking.

Who doesn't like melons with a tangy fragrance, sandy flesh, thick sweetness, and sufficient moisture.

And after this trip to send melons.

That afternoon, Qiao Su once again came to Chang'an City with hundreds of melons.

But before the melon was delivered to the Yingbin Building as the old lady ordered, Cheng Chumo stopped it on the road.

"This is the melon planted by Li Chongyuan? Manager Qiao, I want all the melons from your carriage. Don't tell me that you want to give it to Mrs. Jun to taste." Cheng Chumo made people wait in the city early in the morning At the door, the purpose is to get some melons for my father who has a big appetite.

Bought in West Market, they can't compare with these.

Qiao Su saw Cheng Chumo stopped the carriage and called out to take these melons away, she was really helpless, "Cheng Dalang, this can't be done. My old lady has confessed that these melons are going to be sent to the palace, please do me a favor. If Cheng Dalang likes our melons, you can go to Lizhuang to pick them, there is nothing to do with them."

The helpless Qiao Su could only find an excuse to dismiss Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo raised his eyebrows when he heard that the melons on the carriage were going to be sent to the palace.

"So it's going to be sent to the palace, so I really can't take it. Manager Qiao, are you serious about what you said just now? Then I'll take someone to Lizhuang to pick melons in a while." After speaking, Cheng Chumo walked away leave.

Seeing Cheng Chumo leave, Qiao Su let out a long sigh and muttered, "I'm afraid you'll have to hunt for it if you go. Hurry up and send melons to the Yingbin Building."

With this matter, Qiao Su must report to the old lady.

but.

When the old lady heard Qiao Su's return, she just smiled and didn't say much.

The Cheng family's family style has always been like this.

The old lady knew better.

The Cheng family is like this from top to bottom.

The purpose of pretending to be stupid is to make others think that the Cheng family is a big horse.

But the old lady was like a mirror in her heart, and the Cheng family pretended to be a mess, just for the sake of stability and not being attacked by others.

The Cheng family is an established family.

If you don't pretend to be a bit muddled, you will become the target of attack by the court officials, and you probably don't even know how to die.

After Melon entered the Yingbin building.

In the Yingbin building, some after-dinner melons and fruits were served.

The price, of course, will not be cheap.

There is a saying.

Those who can enter the Yingbin Building to eat are either rich or expensive.

Those who can afford the dues are naturally not poor.

Today's Yingbin Building has already become the weathervane of all restaurants in Chang'an City.

of course.

In addition to selling melons and fruits after meals in the Yingbin Building, even the restaurant that Li Chongyuan changed began to serve some melons.

The restaurant is in the fast food business. Naturally, the price of melons will not be too expensive. Otherwise, the people of Chang'an City will have opinions.

A quarter of a melon is sold at Yingbin Building for [-] Wen.

But when it comes to restaurants, they only sell two coins.

Such a difference is also to reduce trouble, and it is also for reputation.

Although no one knows that Li Chongyuan is behind this restaurant, after all, the name of the restaurant still uses the name of the Wang family.

And this time.

In a large courtyard in a certain lifang, after Wang Zhong got the news, he was sitting on a wooden stool in a daze.

After a long time, Wang Zhong looked at the steward, "My second brother's shop really cooperated with that Li Chongyuan and started selling Li Chongyuan's things? Would you cooperate with a rival like Li Chongyuan? This is unreasonable."

"Back to Mr. Lang, according to my investigation, Erlang is in the shop in Pingkangfang at the moment, why not Mr. Lang can ask him for clarification?" the manager asked cautiously.
