Chu Yunche was the first to lose his composure. Although he was used to being carefree, he still needed to please his father to gain some benefits. Moreover, the Queen Mother, who really loved him, had such a good thing.
It would be of great benefit to him to hang out with the Queen Mother.
"Miss Xia, did your family really grow this cold melon?" Chu Yunche asked excitedly.
Xia Qiyue nodded, "Not only our family, but our whole village has planted many!"
Chu Yunche quickly spoke before the others, "Miss Xia, how about selling some cold melons? The price is based on the price of shipping from the Southern Desert!"
"I'll buy some too! I'll buy some too!" Hua Qingran immediately came over and said, "My old man likes this melon the most, but it's just not easy to buy!"
Pei Heng smiled and said, "Little beauty, do you think you should consider me first?"
"Shameless, I mentioned it first!" Chu Yunche pushed!
"You two, stop arguing. Can't you just listen to what Miss Xia has to say?" Hua Qingran stopped the two of them.
Tang Ying also waited expectantly, and the cold melon in her hand suddenly lost its aroma.
Xia Qiyue raised her hand to stop the quarrel between the two people, "Okay, okay, there are plenty of melons, and you all have a share!"
In the end, all the ripe melons in their house were plundered by a few people. The servants they brought were not enough, so they sent their followers to call people and cars to pull them over.
Xia Qiyue took people to his own land, and then took the opportunity to discuss business with Yun Zhichu, which meant selling all the cold melons in the village. Yun Zhichu had already had this idea, and naturally they hit it off.
Suddenly there was another wave of cold melons in the capital.
Five cents per catty was taken away from the villagers, and Yun Zhichu was able to sell it twice as much.
Because the cold melons shipped from the Southern Desert cost as much as twenty cents per catty, the price of these cold melons has been reduced by half. Even a wealthy family can buy one or two to try them out, let alone those with money and power.
People are here.
Although there is no shortage of this in the palace, what Chu Yunche sent is different. At least it is different with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother, who originally had a loss of appetite when summer comes, actually eats more and her energy and energy improve.
Already.
But it doesn't matter that you have to eat so many meals of cold melon a day. Chu Yunche said that no matter how much the imperial grandmother wants to eat, he will take care of it all by himself.
He coaxed the Empress Dowager so much that she was not joking, and naturally the rewards were indispensable. Not to mention the cold melon money, all kinds of privileges made people jealous.
Baijia Village also faced a great piece of good news. Those who had planted cold melons stood on the ground and grinned from ear to ear. Although the cold melons were delicious, they did not have the fragrance of silver.
As soon as everyone heard that the cold melons could be sold, the whole family went out to pick the melons. They placed them in a field, waiting for the harvester to come and take away the melons to calculate the money.
In fact, Yun Zhichu got six cents per catty from Xia Qiyue. In the spring, Xia Qiyue had agreed to sell the melons that she got for free to her, so although this little money was not worth it to her,
How much, but you can’t pay without getting anything in return, right?
But Xia Qiyue didn't expect that even a penny for a pound of smoking would be a lot of money in the end.
The patriarch's family is the one that grows the most. All fifteen acres of land are planted with watermelons. In the end, the yield per mu was eight thousand kilograms, not counting the small melons that were too small to mature in time.
Those tail melons can be recovered in the end and kept for home use. It will not be a problem to save them for next spring.
Five cents per catty, fifteen acres of land is six hundred taels of silver.
This kept the patriarch and his family awake for several nights. They felt it was unreal and at the same time they were afraid that their information would be lost.
Xia Qiyue's family only has three acres of land, but they also have an income of more than 100 taels. Similarly, Mr. Lao An also has an income of more than 100 taels.
He also didn't sleep the whole night, but what he was thinking about was how much better it would be if the elder's family had not framed the fourth family's family. At this time, their family was counting so much money to send their grandson to study, so they would not have to worry about food and drink.
, and the good life has passed.
It's better now, as I'm getting older, I've become a loner. Although I still have two sons in the village, what's the difference between having them and not having them? I usually don't care about him, let alone pick him up to live with them.
The old man thought about it all night, and finally took out all the watermelon seeds he had left, packed them up, took the money, and asked Xia Qiyue for the pension for the next thirty years, bringing everything he could at home.
Above, a man left the village.
Xia Qiyue knew that Mr. Lao An was leaving, and without a word to persuade him to stay, he sent Lao Wu to drive him off.
No matter what, he is still An Zichen's biological father. He has made his own decision to live with his sons and Mrs. An. No one can stop him. Giving him a ride is the last kindness she can do.
After a few days, all the melons were finally sold, and the joy of the whole village infected Xia Qiyue. She waved her hand and promised to improve the food that night!
As soon as I finished speaking, six uninvited guests came over.
Tang Ying trotted behind the five people, her face flushed but with a bright smile.
Xia Qiyue clicked her tongue twice, and it was rare to see Tang Ying's face turn red.
Why didn't she apply powder today?
As a result, her doubts were cleared as soon as she arrived. She hurriedly pulled Xia Qiyue's arm and asked anxiously
"Sister Qiyue, do you have any rouge and gouache? Let me use it. My father arrested someone early in the morning and wouldn't let me out. I sneaked out and didn't have time to put on makeup..."
The little girl was so anxious that she kept grabbing Xia Qiyue's arm.
Xia Qiyue looked at the little girl's red and dewy skin. Although there were some small acne on her face, it looked better than face powder. She didn't know what kind of aesthetics this girl had.
"Okay, okay, let me go first! Have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat something together?" Xia Qiyue asked as Tang Ying pulled her away.
"Sister Qiyue, I'm not hungry, you'd better take me to put on makeup quickly!" Tang Ying covered the pimples on her face with her palms, looking embarrassed.
In order not to be caught by her father, she went to Yue Lao Shi to become a female celebrity. She went to all lengths and ran with brother Pei Heng without putting on any makeup.
"Little beauty, we can take care of ourselves. Take her quickly!" Pei Heng waved his hand.
He found that Tang Ying actually had red pimples on her face without makeup, which was even more ugly than her grimace.
Xia Qiyue had no choice but to take Tang Ying to her room.
When she got to the room, she remembered that she didn't have anything like rouge and gouache in this world.
"Sister Qiyue, please hurry up and get me a basin of face wash. My face hurts and it stings a bit!"
Xia Qiyue quickly asked the waiter to fetch water, and then went over to take a closer look. It was nothing serious on the little girl's face, it was just acne. It was normal to sweat and scratch.
"Don't look at Sister Qiyue, my face...my face can't be healed even after taking a lot of medicine. It's so ugly!" Tang Ying quickly covered her face with her hands in embarrassment.
"It's not that serious, it's just a few pimples. You may have taken the wrong medicine!" Xia Qiyue waved her hand.
Tang Ying pulled her in disbelief, "Sister Qiyue, what is acne? What kind of disease is it? Can it be cured? Do you know how to cure it?"
