Chapter 1293 Tea House

Even if the Zhao family is physically huge, so what? If they can't eat it in one bite, they can just take a few more bites.

Sooner or later, he will devour the Zhao family completely!

People like Zhao Zhai and Zhao Ye are not worthy of fighting him!

When they said this, Zhao Shu, Qiao Xuan and others had never thought that Qin would commit suicide like that. Then, the Zhao family collapsed and disappeared in Yangzhou City before even making it through this year.

Qiao Xuan naturally understood why the mulberry trees in Zheng’s mulberry garden grew so well. She felt a little proud and agreed with Zhao Shu with a smile.

Now, I can feel more at ease getting the dividends of hundreds of thousands of taels!

Zhao Shu also briefly talked about the two farms that Qiao Xuan asked him to find someone to help look after. The farms are easy to manage, and the farm owner is reliable, so just look after them. The tenants will take care of them on weekdays, and they just need to harvest and pay rent in the autumn.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile, and the harvest is good unless there is a severe drought or flood.

The rent collected from more than 20,000 acres of fertile land is a considerable sum of wealth no matter how you calculate it.

After saying all these things, it was already late, so Zhao Shu didn't want to stay any longer. He smiled tactfully and stood up to say goodbye.

If I don't leave now, Master Shao might be unhappy. After all, Mrs. Shao has only been back for a few days.

Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "How are the strawberries I asked someone to bring back yesterday?"

Zhao Shu subconsciously showed a curious smile and nodded, "I have never seen such fruit before, very sweet! Very delicious! Thank you, Mrs. Shao!"

Qiao Xuan waved her hand and smiled, "It's not worth much. We have several acres of strawberries planted at home. These strawberries can bloom and bear fruit for several months. Now is the peak season, and there are so many! Tomorrow I will ask someone to pick two large baskets and send them to you, so that Aunt Qing and the others can have a taste! By the way, these strawberries cannot be kept. They taste best when picked and eaten on the same day. They will not taste the same if left overnight."

"That's great. Aunt Qing will like it too!" Zhao Shu thanked her and couldn't help but glance at Qiao Xuan. He seemed to want to say something but then closed his mouth.

Qiao Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "Young Master Zhao, do you want more? Why don't you just ask someone to pick them? There are plenty in our fields!"

"No," Zhao Shu couldn't help but laugh, "I mean, these strawberries are pretty, delicious, and easy to eat. Many high-end teahouses usually supply some fresh fruits, so I think they won't be rejected. If you really can't finish them, Madam Shao might as well sell them in the teahouse. These are fresh fruits that have never been seen in the capital, and they will definitely sell for a good price."

He said with a bit of embarrassment, "Uh, I just said it when I thought of it. If I said it wrong, please don't mind, Madam Shao, Lord Shao."

It is true that the strawberries are fresh and rare, but after all, they are just a small fruit, with only a few acres of land. Even if they are sold, they may not be worth much. At least for Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, this is just small money.

Zhao Shu was just born in a merchant family and had been influenced by it since childhood. When he heard Qiao Xuan say that, he subconsciously thought of this.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he stopped in time. But he didn't expect Qiao Xuan to ask, so he just said it.

In fact, Zhao Shu was quite happy that Qiao Xuan asked this question.

This means that Qiao Xuan already treats him as a close friend, otherwise she would never ask that question.

But Zhao Shu didn't know that Qiao Xuan would never dislike making money.

After hearing this, her eyes lit up and she smiled at Shao Yunduan and said, "My husband, what do you think of this idea?"
