Yue Jiuyue really thought so. Dedicating these watermelons to the emperor not only expressed her gratitude, but also secretly wondered whether the emperor would give her a second reward.

How much is a watermelon worth?

In the era she lived in, even when it was the most expensive, it was only a few dozen dollars, right?It cost hundreds of dollars.As for the thousands of dollars worth of watermelon, it was not within Yue Jiuyue's normal range.

So, she sells watermelons here, one tael of silver for a watermelon is a sky-high price, right?
And what if the emperor gave a reward?
It is often a few hundred taels, in case he finds a new food for the sake of discovering a new food. Although it is only a kind of fruit, it is a new discovery after all. If there is one, there will be two. If there are two, is three still far away?The reward should be a little bit more than last time, right?
For example, a reward of 1000 taels?

Then her watermelon is worth dozens of taels of silver!
Although it is not as high as others' tens of millions of dollars, Yue Jiuyue is already very content.

The more Yue Jiuyue thought about it, the more beautiful her mood became, and she almost couldn't help but smile.

After all, I still remember Miss Jiao standing in front of me. Although she is a lady with the lowest official position, she is not comparable to a commoner. If her smile is misunderstood as a joke, then what good is she? fruit to eat.

You must know that "the county magistrate is not as good as the present", there is another saying that "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", and the other is "the general is out, and the military order is not accepted"!
Even for the sake of her own life, she can't show any expression other than embarrassment now.

"There's nothing to forgive or not. If Miss doesn't dislike it, I'll give this watermelon to Miss."

Yue Jiuyue reluctantly handed the watermelon to the other party, and Miss Jiao didn't expect it to be bright, she immediately smiled and motioned for the maid to take it, and then stuffed the purse into Yue Jiuyue's hand without any explanation.

"Thank you, aunt! This is my little thank you, please don't be disgusted with me, aunt! We have been out for a long time, so we will go back first."

After finishing speaking, she was not polite, and left with her maid Shi Shiran.

While walking back, Miss Jiao's handkerchief was almost twisted into twists.

What a shame!What a shame!In other words, why is she having a convulsion today and has to come out alone?

When she ate the watermelon that had been tempered with spring water, Miss Jiao's mood immediately lifted. It was worth the trip!So worth it!

That is, she might not be able to eat such a good refreshing fruit in the future, and she might miss it for the rest of her life!
The more Miss Jiao ate, the sadder she became, but she couldn't help eating one piece after another.

"Miss, Madam thinks this watermelon is quite delicious and cools off the summer heat. I would like to ask Miss where she bought it. Madam wants to buy some more and send them home, so that Master and the others can try it too."

Suddenly, an old woman came over and asked about where the watermelon came from.

Miss Jiao sighed, she knew it would be like this, but she can't eat alone, it's really embarrassing!

"The watermelon was planted by the owner of this family. It is said that it was passed down from the West. The owner of this family tried to plant it to express her gratitude to the emperor in order to thank the emperor for his reward."

Miss Jiao immediately said what Yue Jiuyue said. I was afraid that if she was a step too late, or if she missed a word, her mother would come to find her.

"Oh? That woman still has this ability?"

The nun was amazed.
