Chapter 41 Cantaloupe, King of Melons

Jiang Ci's eyes brightened,
If it weighs 500 catties per day, that's 50 taels per day. This business can be done!

Under the cover of the back basket, Jiang Ci changed all the fruits in her back basket that were prepared to be sold at the stall today, all in the space,

"Because Housekeeper Sun ordered several hundred catties of strawberries and apples, there aren't many left at home for the time being!"

Shopkeeper Liu was a little anxious: "Then when will your relatives bring this fruit from the capital again?"

Yesterday, when the shopkeeper in the restaurant went to the town to buy vegetables, he bought him 10 catties of strawberries and 20 catties of fruit. After he tasted them, he asked the officer in charge to deliver the fruits to the tables of the dignitaries who are frequent customers of the restaurant.

And after that, he was chased by those dignitaries for fruit,
And after he investigated, he found out that the owner of the fruit stall was a farmer with a large red birthmark on his face, and the fruit came from the capital, so the daily limit was 10 catties of strawberries and 20 catties of apples, extremely rare!

He happened to be sleepy and sent a pillow. Today, as soon as he went out, he ran into this farmer. When he saw the bright red fruits on the cart, he regretted it now. He didn’t need to care about his demeanor at that time, cut off the cart of fruits How wonderful!
"Don't worry, shopkeeper. Although the strawberries and apples are gone, there are still some other fruits! Shopkeeper, please look at this first!"

Jiang Ci took out the cantaloupe from the basket,
I saw that the cantaloupe is oval in shape, and the light green skin is covered with white stripes in all directions. It feels a little rough to the touch, just like the bark of a pine tree, but it is the unique appearance that gives people a sense of extravagance. a feeling of.

Sure enough, the treasurer Wang was immediately attracted,
"Shopkeeper Liu, can Xiao Er bring a knife?"

Shopkeeper Wang raised his hand, and after a while, a young servant presented the knife,
Jiang Ci cut the melon from the middle, and in an instant, a refreshing fragrance came to the nostrils. The yellow orange flesh inside was evenly wrapped with seeds, which made people want to take a bite.
"Please shopkeeper Liu!" Jiang Ci handed over a melon with both hands,
Shopkeeper Liu quickly took it, took a bite, and his mouth was full of sweet juice.Eat it again, its taste has changed a little, with both the sweetness of sucrose and the crispness of cucumber, which is endless aftertaste.

Shopkeeper Liu ate two pieces one after another, and he was full of praise: "This fruit is not worse than those two fruits at all!"

Jiang Ci smiled. In restaurants in the 21st century, the last dish is usually a fruit plate. This cantaloupe is best used on the dinner table.

"Ma'am, what's the name of this thing?"

"This fruit is called Hami melon. This melon is not only sweet, but also rich in nutritional value. People in the capital call it the king of melons. There are rumors that eating it often can cure diseases and prolong life."

"Is this true?" Shopkeeper Wang's small eyes shone brightly.

"If shopkeeper Liu doesn't believe it, just try it and you'll know? Besides, even if you don't talk about the nutritional value, this melon is a novel species after all, and it tastes good. Shopkeeper Liu will not suffer from it!"

"Then the price of this melon?"

"500 Wen a catty!" Jiang Ci stretched out five fingers,

What Jiang Ci said was careless, but shopkeeper Liu was terrified when he heard it!
500 Wen per catty, this melon is about 4-5 catties, which is equivalent to at least 2 taels of silver per melon.
It is several times more expensive than the signature dishes of his restaurant!
However, this also proves that he can earn more~
Shopkeeper Wang stroked his mustache and smiled happily,

"Okay! Miss, please send me 500 catties a day!"

"Eh... shopkeeper Liu doesn't bargain?" Even Jiang Ci didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he couldn't help but react.

Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Liu waved his hand indifferently, "I, Liu Fugui, will not be able to suppress the farmers' money. After all, it is a long-term business. If the girl really cheats on me, it will only be the girl who regrets it in the end! Girl, just to add to the icing on the cake for my Jinxiu restaurant, without a girl, my Jinxiu restaurant is still the number one restaurant in the town, but I'm afraid the girl will not be able to live so smoothly in the future!"

Jiang Ci smiled after hearing this, no wonder he was able to become the number one restaurant in the town, as expected, he had two brushes,
She loves communicating with people who don't drag her feet!
But this also reminded her that everyone is innocent and guilty, as long as someone with a heart investigates, her claim that the fruit came from the capital will be revealed!
It is still necessary to pass her fruit through the Ming Road, and it is a Ming Road that everyone can see!
After that, it's best to find a big backer...

Before these two things are done, it's better not to show her fruits in the market, as long as there are two customers, Shopkeeper Liu and Butler Sun!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ci pretended to sigh and said: "The fruit my relatives bought me at a time is only a few thousand catties. It seems that once I supply the restaurant of shopkeeper Liu, my fruit stall will not be able to sell it for the time being." The town is down!"

Shopkeeper Liu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that, as long as the girl doesn't sell it in the town, then he has obtained the monopoly right of this fruit. It seems that he can raise the price of this fruit appropriately,
Thinking of this in his heart, shopkeeper Liu smiled impeccably: "That would save the girl a lot of hard work!"

A dark light flashed across Jiang Ci's eyes,
The old fox!
Before leaving, Jiang Ci seemed to suddenly think of something: "Master Liu, do you have wild game in this restaurant?"

Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback, and then immediately put on a businessman's smirk: "Although our restaurant has a fixed source of game, if the girl wants to sell some game, Liu will naturally give the girl this face!"

Anyway, it's just a game or two.

His huge restaurant is not too big to digest!
"Then may I ask the shopkeeper to take this thing?" Jiang Ci took out the bamboo rat from the space through the basket on his back.

Seeing that thing, Shopkeeper Liu took a few steps back in shock: "Old... old old old mouse! Girl, although this mouse is indeed fat and good, but my restaurant is a serious one, so I can't help you deal with it. Mouse!"

Jiang Ci looked at the thing in his hand, and his eyes widened in shock,

Good guy, she just left this bamboo rat overnight, what did this thing eat in it?

Unexpectedly, they are so fat and strong. I saw that the bamboo rats used to weigh about 3 catties, but now they all weigh five or six catties...

Rao was suspicious in his heart, but there was no shock on his face, he just said calmly: "Shopkeeper Liu, this is not a mouse, this is a bamboo mouse. It grew up eating bamboo, and the nutritional value contained in its body is extremely high. Besides, the meat is delicious, so it’s useless to talk about it, so can I borrow it from the kitchen?”

Shopkeeper Liu was muttering inwardly, but since there was not much traffic in the restaurant in the morning, the kitchen could indeed free up this time.
After finally thinking about it, someone led Jiang Ci into the kitchen. Anyway, it was up to him to decide whether to buy this game or not!
It is true that he is rich, but he is not a fool!
Within two sticks of incense, Shopkeeper Liu was invited into the kitchen by his servants.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, a delicious smell came over his nostrils. Shopkeeper Liu took a look in the kitchen and found that it was his own chef who was cooking. He was looking at the meat in the pot with surprise.

And the farmer was lying on the bamboo chair, shaking his body leisurely, very happy,
Liu Fugui laughed angrily,
This girl is more comfortable with his chef than he is,
