The space farmer comes to farm

Chapter 34 Selling Watermelons

Su Yu also knew from the mouth of the servant that Lu Youqi turned out to be the young master of the Lu family in the town.

The Lu family is a big family in the town, and the head of the Lu family is Lu Hong.The Lu family is mainly engaged in business, tea, porcelain, jade, silk and so on, all of which are involved in his family.

Knowing about Lu Youqi's family, Su Yu felt relieved about selling him strawberries for a few pennies every day.

It seems that he didn't buy these strawberries just to take care of Jiang Qi. After all, for their family, these few catties of strawberries are really too much to eat. The big family has more people, and there are more human relationships.

In the blink of an eye, it entered June, and Su Yu did some calculations. In one May, the income from selling strawberries totaled more than [-] taels of silver, which was not a small amount of money.

In June, the watermelons in the watermelon fields are also ripe.

Su Yu first picked up a ripe watermelon and cut it after dinner. Both Su Yan and Jiang Qi said it was delicious after eating it.

Watermelon is different from strawberries, and it is the most refreshing to eat in summer.

However, Su Yu didn't plan to take the watermelon to the town to sell this time, mainly because they didn't have any means of transportation.

If you push it with a flatbed cart, going there is not enough to waste your time, and a flatbed cart can't hold a few watermelons.

When the boy from the Lu family came to buy strawberries, Su Yu asked him to bring back a few watermelons, and told him that if Lu Youqi thought it was delicious, he would come over.

I thought that Lu Youqi would come at least the next day, but I didn't expect him to come that afternoon.

Welcoming Lu Youqi into the courtyard, before Su Yu and Jiang Qi could speak, Lu Youqi spoke first.

"Brother Jiang, I noticed the watermelon you planted before I came here. It was the elder brother who thought that my watermelon was just ripe, so he brought it to me."

The corners of Jiang Qi's mouth raised slightly, "It's not for free."

Lu Youqi smiled indifferently, "Do you still want me to pay the money?"

Before Jiang Qi could answer, Su Yu burst out laughing, "I invite you to eat those watermelons, of course I don't want any money from you. It's just that we want to do business with you."

"What business?" Lu Youqi asked curiously.

"You have also seen that we have a lot of watermelons like this one. If you let me and your elder brother push them to the town to sell, it must be thankless. Don't your family have a shop? Why don't you just sell them to you directly? For sale?" After Su Yu finished speaking, he looked at Lu Youqi and waited for his answer.

Lu Youqi was overjoyed when he heard this, "Of course it's fine." Shuran rolled his eyes and continued, "It's just that if you sell it to me, the price..."

However, Jiang Qi glanced at him, and the corner of his mouth raised even more, "Are you still playing tricks on me here? Since I sold it to you, it is naturally at the wholesale price, and you can't let your efforts go to waste."

Lu Youqi clasped his fists at Jiang Qi and said, "I knew that elder brother can't be better than younger brother."

Su Yu watched the two of them speak politely, and the smile on their faces became even bigger.

She and Jiang Qi had already discussed it before, they have limited manpower, they can only sell to a big customer, it is best not to worry about the sale.

Whoever earns this money is not earning it, so it is better to find Lu Youqi. As for the price, watermelon is different from strawberries, and its yield is very high.

The watermelons grown in Su language have dark green skins without patterns. When cut open, the flesh inside is bright red, accompanied by black watermelon seeds, which look picturesque.

Not only does it look good, but it tastes juicier and sweeter. Each watermelon weighs more than ten catties. Even if the wholesale price is lower than the retail price, they will still make a lot of money.

Now that the discussion was made, Lu Youqi left, saying that he would send someone to pull watermelons the next day, and then discuss the price.

Early the next morning, just after breakfast, the three of Su Yu heard the doorbell ring, opened the small door, and saw more than a dozen horse-drawn taxis outside the door, and a carriage in the front.

As soon as Su Yu walked outside the door, Lu Youqi lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Su Yu was taken aback, "Didn't you say to send someone here? Why are you here again?"

Lu Youqi chuckled, "Anyway, I'm free, so I'm here too."

Seeing what he said, Su Yu didn't say anything, turned around and walked back to the courtyard through the small door, and opened the door from the inside.

More than a dozen taxis went in through the gate, and after the last car entered the courtyard, Su Yu closed the gate again.

Their yard is not far from the customs road. It was still morning, and people from the village came out. If they saw so many cars in their yard, what would happen? A few people didn't stop.

The people brought by Lu Youqi didn't know how to judge whether the watermelon was ripe, or Su Yu led these people to walk carefully in the watermelon field.

Su Yu has the ability of the wood system, and can know the growth status of any crop, and which watermelon is ripe or not, she can find out with a light touch.

It took about an hour to pick all the ripe watermelons in the field.

Looking at the remaining watermelons in the field, Su Yu reckoned that a batch should be picked in half a month.

Because I told Lu Youqi yesterday, let him bring a large scale and a large basket when he comes, so that he can weigh it.

So it didn't take long to weigh all the picked watermelons.

After weighing, it was found that the total weight of the watermelons was 120 catties. The price had been agreed with the shopkeeper brought by the router before, and each catty was [-] Wen, so the total was [-] silver.

After collecting the money, Su Yu watched them pack the car and leave with the watermelons before closing the door again.

Back in the main room, I saw Su Yan staring at the twelve silver ingots on the table in a daze, and burst out laughing unconsciously.

Hearing Su Yu's laughter, both Su Yan and Jiang Qi turned to look at her, Jiang Qi raised his eyebrows, "What are you laughing at, so happy?"

Su Yu walked over to sit at the table, reached out and took a silver ingot to play with in his hand, "Of course you will be happy if you make money. This is much more silver than you can earn from hunting, and there is no danger."

Hearing this, Jiang Qi couldn't help laughing. Is this little woman despising him for not being able to wait for me?
"You think I'm useless?" Jiang Qi asked in the same way as he thought in his heart.

Su Yu quickly waved his hands, "I don't mean that, I mean we have a way to make money, so you don't go hunting in the future, it's dangerous and tiring."

At the end, Su Yu looked at Jiang Qi carefully, fearing that Jiang Qi's self-esteem would be hit because of her words.

There was no expression on Jiang Qi's face, but there was a trace of sweetness in his heart. Just now the little woman said "we", in her heart, he already regarded him as a family.

Seeing that Jiang Qi was not angry, Su Yu turned to look at Su Yan again, "Xiaoyan, my sister will be able to send you to school in the spring of next year."
