Chapter 406 Return with a Full Load

Boss Jin, who is always thinking of shady ways in doing business, cannot be let off either.

In short, I can no longer let my business affect the peaceful life of the Mo family.

Tang Mingrui clasped his fists towards the Mo family again.

"There are still many things to deal with today, so I won't bother you anymore."

If it were in the past, he would have to have a delicious meal before leaving when he came to the Mo family.

But not now, he is anxious!

Mo Jiuye knew that Tang Mingrui was impatient when it came to business matters, so he didn't try to keep him.

Before Tang Mingrui left, He Zhiran asked Lan'er to get a big watermelon for him to take back.

"Brother Tang, these are fruits grown in my garden. Take them home and try them. I estimate that in about ten days, the fruits planted in the fields will gradually mature. If you are interested, we can talk about it then."

It was the first time that Tang Mingrui saw such a large fruit.

In fact, the watermelons grown by He Zhiran are still outstanding even in modern times.

After all, these are seeds produced in the space, so the watermelons grown from them must be special. Being big is just one feature, and the most important thing is that each one is as sweet as honey.

Moreover, He Zhiran was not worried that her business would be snatched away by others. She had already experimented and found that only seeds cultivated in space were not picky about soil and climate.

Seeds that form naturally when planted outside are no different from ordinary seeds.

The land in the northwest is barren and many crops cannot survive. Even if those people bought watermelons or cantaloupes, they probably wouldn't get any harvest if they planted them in the northwest.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that smart people will bring it to other areas for planting. Even if the planting is successful, the fruit will be no different from those grown from ordinary seeds, and will not be comparable to the fruit grown here in terms of appearance or taste.

Tang Mingrui held the big watermelon and felt its weight, which was at least around 30 kilograms.

"Sister-in-law Jiu, is this fruit?"

He found it a little bit unbelievable. He had seen the winter melons produced in the capital, and they were the largest crops he knew.

Now, his cognition was completely refreshed by the big watermelon in his arms, and he had to ask once to make himself believe it.

He Zhiran had long expected that Tang Mingrui would be shocked by the big watermelon. The Mo family was in the same state when they saw it.

She smiled and explained, "This is fruit. When you get home, cut it into small pieces with a knife and eat the red flesh inside. It will taste even better if you put it in a cool place to cool it down."

The watermelons eaten by the Mohists were placed in the well to cool for a period of time in advance, which could quench their thirst and relieve the heat.

He Zhiran had also thought about using saltpeter to make ice, but he had been busy with other things recently and hadn't had time to do it.

Tang Mingrui nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He couldn't wait to go back and taste this big fruit called watermelon.

"Thank you so much, Sister Nine." He then looked at Mo Jiuye and said, "Brother Nine, you have to send a few people to help me send the Second Master and his group to the provincial capital."

"That's no problem. I'll have someone follow you."

Mo Jiuye answered readily. After all, Tang Mingrui came here alone, and it was impossible for him to escort so many gangsters.

As for how Tang Mingrui would deal with that group of people, that was not his concern. As long as those people did not cause trouble for the Mo family anymore, it would be fine.

Early the next morning, Tang Mingrui brought people to transport the melons. It was earlier than expected, and the sky outside was just getting light.

Fortunately, Mo Jiuye had arranged for people to pick the fruits in the fields in advance, otherwise, they would have to wait even if they arrived so early.

The night before, He Zhiran secretly placed the melons stored in the space near the melon field. Since there were dogs guarding it, there was no need to worry about them being stolen.

It has been a long time since Tang Mingrui came to the Mo family to pick up goods in person, which shows how much he values ​​the cantaloupe business this time.

Over there, the people he brought with him and the Mo family were responsible for weighing the cantaloupes. Tang Mingrui pulled Mo Jiuye aside and asked excitedly, "Nineth Brother, the watermelon you gave me yesterday was so delicious. I listened to Sister-in-law Jiu and chilled it in the well for a while. It was really refreshing and thirst-quenching."

As he spoke, Tang Mingrui swallowed his saliva in a somewhat cowardly manner.

His behavior made Mo Jiuye unable to hold back his laughter.

Mo Jiuye and Tang Mingrui are now very familiar with each other. He put his arm on Tang Mingrui's shoulders and said with a smile:

"Which do you think will be more popular, watermelon or cantaloupe?"

"Both fruits are delicious. If Brother Jiu insists on me making a judgment, I think watermelon is more delicious."

As Tang Mingrui was talking, his eyes began to look around in the direction of the Mo family's farmland.

He knew that the big watermelons should also be grown by the Mo family, and he wanted to see in advance what the watermelons looked like when they were in the fields.

Unfortunately, he looked around but didn't see any watermelon.

Tang Mingrui asked somewhat disappointedly, "Brother Jiu, aren't watermelons grown in your family?"

Yesterday, He Zhiran gave Tang Mingrui a watermelon in order to let him know in advance about future business cooperation. Mo Jiuye could not have hidden anything from him.

"The watermelons are also grown at home, but they are not yet ripe."

Tang Mingrui was overjoyed to get this answer.

He seemed to have seen countless silver coins throwing towards him.

Tang Mingrui excitedly grabbed Mo Jiuye's hand.

"Brother Jiu, tell me quickly, how long will it take for the watermelon to mature?"

Mo Jiuye was a little uncomfortable being pulled by a grown man, so he quickly pulled his hand back and took a few steps back.

"By the time you've sold all the cantaloupes in the field, the watermelons will be ripe."

This is the time He Zhiran calculated because she discovered a problem.

The watermelon seeds produced in the space can continue to grow even after they are ripe if they are not picked.

Of course, watermelons won’t keep growing forever. They will stop growing when they reach a certain size.

But the timing was just right, as the cantaloupes had basically been sold out.

When Tang Mingrui heard that he would have to wait for a while, he felt a little disappointed.

If nothing else, regardless of how much profit the watermelon can bring him, at least he and his family can hold watermelons and eat as much as they want every day. Just thinking about that feeling, Tang Mingrui is looking forward to it.

But the watermelons were not ripe yet, and such things could not be forced. He could only suppress his resentment.

"Okay, as soon as the watermelons are ripe, Brother Nine will send someone to notify me immediately."

"That's no problem. As soon as the watermelons are ripe, I'll send someone to notify you." Mo Jiuye saw what Tang Mingrui was thinking, and there was a hint of comfort in his tone.

Tang Mingrui's trip was considered to be fruitful. He didn't know how many cantaloupes the Mo family had for sale. In order to prevent the lack of carriages, he specially went to the carriage shop to hire a few.

Including the carriage he had, there were eight in total.

Unexpectedly, he filled all eight carriages on this trip.
