The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Qiu's mother hesitated for a long time, and after making sure that the eyes of the "fat doll" would not be opened, she held it in her palm and looked at it carefully. She only felt that the melon was not only lifelike, but also natural, without the slightest trace of carving, it grew like this from birth. .

This is really a god, can it be said that, just like the children said, it is a melon essence?

Otherwise, if it grows like this naturally, it would be rare.

After Qiu's exclamation, she remembered that the other party had sent three boxes, saying that there were melons and apples, and she quickly opened the other two, and saw that one of them also contained a melon that was almost exactly the same as a doll, and the other was an apple. It's not an ordinary apple, it has the word "Fu" on it!

Qiu's mother took a closer look, and the word "Fu" was also completely natural, and the color was much lighter than the color next to it.

This one after another is no coincidence, it must be a rare species.

Isn’t it said that the child who gave the gift is Guizhou Miao? Those Miao people are very mysterious, maybe they are rare things they found in the mountains.

After thinking about it this way, Qiu's mother felt that the box of pastries returned by the children was a bit lighter, and she was worried, wondering if she should make up some more next time.

Qiu Dafu saw that the apple actually had his name on it, and he was curious and delighted, "Aniang, can I eat this?"

"Don't eat it for now, okay? You see, this melon is so special. Let's take it back and show it to Aweng."

Mother Qiu coaxed the children gently, and she didn't dare to ask them to eat for a while, so she went back and asked someone who was knowledgeable.

When Qiu Dafu heard it, he was also inspired and decided to show it to his classmates when he went back. If he just said that Shi Gaobi had given him a gift, no one would believe it, and he would have to show evidence.

Qiu's mother later took it back and showed it to her home. No one knew it, and neighbors came to recognize it. She was also shocked by the heavens. Some timid people saw it and thought she was alive, so she was so scared to remember. Get angry.

Qiu Dafu still wants to take it to Guozixue, now the Qiu family will not let him take it out, so as not to scare people again.

Suddenly it spread, and it was rumored that the Qiu family really picked up a pair of melon essence.

In the world, there are no surprises. The gramin fish can be refined, and the melon can naturally also be refined.

Some people in Beijing joked. I don’t know what this refined melon looks like, but it’s just more curious. Now the number one melon in melon has been compared by watermelon. Can melon essence compete with watermelon? If it can't, what's the use of becoming refined!

…

At this time, Yunyan Hui's family was still on vacation in Puguanze. A few days later, Xiaobao, who was on vacation, and Zheng Ling, who had finished the work, also came. Zheng Ling also brought several colleagues from the art institute, all acquaintances, to study murals and comic strips with him.

Zheng Ling thought he could live leisurely when he came, and didn't want Yun Yan to go back and stop him from being idle at all.

There are many gourds in the manor, which are very valuable and can be sold for a lot of money in the market.

But Yun Yanhui didn't plan to fight for this market. He had asked the owner to dry the gourds long ago. This time he wanted Zheng Ling to make the gourds into handicrafts.

Craft gourds are flooded in many tourist attractions in later generations, but no one has made gourds into decorations at this time. The homonym of gourd is Fulu, and it also symbolizes multiple characters. It has excellent meaning. After carving and depicting, it is a very good decoration.

The point is that it is in line with the positioning of Taozhiyao Fruits and Vegetables Store, selling fruits and vegetables that are not popular.

Zheng Ling doesn't know how to carve. Yun Yan called back to him to design patterns. When it comes to carving, we can naturally find another craftsman.

Even small gourds can be made into wenwan gourds for people to play with, which is good for health.

Because Yun Yanhui is not a professional, the indigenous craftsman needs to improve the production method according to his ideas.

He is studying the production of gourd carving and Wenwan gourd with great concentration. Yun Yan retrieved a letter from Zhao Youwu.

"Brother, I heard that melon essence appeared in Beijing recently. I was very curious. I passed the master of melon essence into the palace and learned that the pair of melon essence and the blessing apple were gifted by Brother Tiger. Brother, may I ask melon essence is you? Did you plant it? I want it too!"

Yun Yan looked back and fainted, "What the hell!"

Zheng Ling was working with the craftsman to sculpt a hollow gourd according to the pattern. Hearing the voice of Yun Yan returning, he leaned over, "Have you said anything excessive?"

Yun Yan read the letter back to him, and said with a dark face: "My ginseng fruit, who named melon essence?"

Zheng Ling laughed loudly, "This name is witty, and it's much more grounded than ginseng fruit. You named it a non-cheap name like ginseng fruit, isn't it just to sell it more expensive? This melon essence is not bad. It's the same truth as Wang Qingyu!"

"Fuck you!" Yun Yan cursed back to the black line, "How can it be the same?"

And the name of ginseng fruit is allusive...Although there is no big IP blessing of "Journey to the West" yet, maybe it will give inspiration to "Journey to the West" in the future?

It's called melon essence now, and it feels like it has dropped a lot at once!

Yun Yanhui felt the crisis, "No, we have to go public in advance, otherwise the melon essence will spread."

Fortunately, there were already many ripe melons at this time. Yun Yan hurried to tell Shuangyi, adding fuel to the seriousness of the matter, and finally everyone agreed to open the fruit and vegetable shop ahead of schedule.

-Of course, before that, we still have to send a batch to the palace to honor officials.

…

Tao Zhiyao opened a branch selling fruits and vegetables, because it was based on the popularity of the previous shop, and it received great attention.

-In fact, it is not. With these two kinds of fruits, it will be a matter of time before you become famous.

A few days ago, there was still legend about the melon essence of the Qiu family, everyone said so vividly, as if they had actually seen it. At this moment, Tao Zhiyao really appeared "melon essence", which immediately attracted crowds of people onlookers.

It's really melon essence, and there are more than one pair, in rows! They are all naive, with a chubby face, a chubby body, and even the corners of the lips with a smile, which are by no means carved out, the flesh and the flesh are uniform, it can be seen that they have not moved their hands or feet.

There are also those apples with long characters, with all kinds of auspicious words, and the natural color is slightly lighter, which is really amazing!

Whenever someone comes to see, whether they buy it or not, the shopkeeper will talk about their "ginseng fruit" here, boasting of all sorts of magical origins. There is also a pictorial in the store, if you are literate, you can read it yourself.

Not to mention, many people believe it, because it is true that there has never been a fruit that grows into this way. No matter whether it is a native or a foreign national, no one can tell the story, so naturally they can only believe the store's words.

However, after the citizens of Bianjing accepted this, another trouble followed...

Seeing someone looking at the ginseng fruit on the shelf, the shopkeeper walked over and cordially introduced: "Look, our ginseng fruit..."

Interrupted by the customer, "Isn't this melon essence?"

Shopkeeper: "It's a ginseng fruit! This ginseng fruit is full of the essence of the sun and the moon, so it looks like this!"

"Uh, does the taste still taste like melon? Isn't it too old?"

Shopkeeper: "Absolutely not!"

"Then give me a melon essence!"

Shopkeeper: "...Ginseng fruit."

The shopkeeper was very depressed. He found that no matter how he explained and recommended to customers, he wrote the sign with ginseng fruit very big, people still called it melon essence.

Even when many merchants came here admiringly, they all named them to buy "melon essence". When they talked about business, they would inevitably be affected. In the end, the shopkeeper himself couldn't help but call melon essence.

The name melon essence is really brainwashing, and it is much easier to spread than ginseng fruit.

-This is true, no one really thinks this is an alive spirit, after all, with so many quantities, it is not particularly expensive to sell (key point).

More people believe that this is a unique variety, and some people think that it has indeed absorbed the aura of heaven and earth. No matter what kind of appearance, it is not injustice to call melon essence, right?

The shopkeeper saw that everyone in the city called melon essence, and had to go to the owner with a bitter expression, but failed to promote the official name of ginseng fruit.

Shuang Yi was really thinking about it, and comforted Yun Yan, who was a little frustrated, and replied: "Brother Yan, everyone screams melon essence, but it actually caused many people to have the urge to eat it instead of offering it there."

There is no basis for saying this. After all, the name "Ginseng Fruit" has never been popular, but Yun Yanhui can only accept this comfort, "Okay... alas! I don't know who came out of this name!"

…

Compared with "Wang Qing Yu", He Hua Yu is called opera before it has another name, this melon essence is the reverse.

When the melon essence appeared on the market and quickly became famous, some people soon incorporated the melon essence into the story, which was very advanced with the times. I made up the story that Yun Yan didn't have the embarrassment to make up.

These book clubs imitated the structure of "Wang Qingyu" and compiled a book: Some people received a melon as a gift, because the family was poor and reluctant to eat it, so he hasn't eaten it for a long time. Unexpectedly, there is a little monster in the melon, who often accompanies the young masters in the home to play, and also makes the fruits and vegetables grown in their homes extremely delicious.

The host gradually discovered that something was wrong, so he secretly hid outside the door, only to find that the melon jumped out of the fruit tray, playing with the little host, and he would clean up after playing. Upon seeing this, the host felt that Melon was a good fairy, so he didn't find anyone to catch the monster.

When the family was in danger, the melon essence helped. Some people wanted to possess the melon essence, and the host family also desperately protected each other. Later, Melon Jing settled down in the yard, and the host's family gradually made money by selling fruits, and the two families have been friendly for generations.

This is not a love story, but an all-age story full of fun, more of which should be friendship, loyalty and other elements.

It is not the charm of the story itself, but the popularity of melon essence. This story has also become popular in the market.

As Tao Zhiyao is currently another major brand, the apples with the word "Fu" are the most sold apples, so they are collectively referred to as "Fu Zi Apple." That's amazing.

This is only relative. In fact, it is also loved by the majority of the people, but it is relatively late.

Picking an apple with blessings at will, and sending it out as one of the gifts when visiting or visiting relatives.

Because there are many choices for the typeface, no matter what kind of gift it is, you can find the corresponding one. After the listing, customized services were launched.

People at this time are not afraid to wait, and many products need to wait. They customized the lettering, and then Tao Zhiyao specially made models and cultivated apples until they were mature. This service was very popular and gradually formed a knowledge.

Compared with the first fire of melon essence, it was robbed every time it went on the market at the beginning, and the supply was in short supply. The business of Fuzi Apple is long and long, and the output of apples is large, so the sales and customer base are very stable. .

Yun Yanhui had struggled at the beginning. As time went by, he found that he was basically the only one who still called it ginseng fruit, so he could only say to Shuangyi, "Forget it, forget it, you change the label. Turn into melon essence...╥﹏╥"
