Chapter 275 This trip is really coming
Every summer, apart from the legitimate masters of the mansion who could get some, the concubines and unfavored bastards were lucky enough to have a taste or two.
Watermelon is the best fruit for cooling off in the summer. The masters in the mansion all love to eat it, and he also loves to eat it, so even though he doesn't understand farming, he has some understanding of it.
The yield of this watermelon is not high because it is difficult to care for. There is a lot of rain in May and June, and if it rains for several days in a row, the watermelon will be ruined.
Therefore, there are not many watermelons that we can actually eat every year.
The Shao family casually brought out two large watermelons of excellent quality. They looked like they didn't take the watermelons seriously at all. Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong didn't know what to say.
After the watermelon was opened, the sweet fruity aroma filled the air. Qiao Xuan asked Liu Yan to take a tray and serve it to Fang, Shao Dalang and others, while inviting Le Zhengxiao and the others to eat.
"Try our melons and see how they compare to yours. We think they're pretty sweet anyway."
Le Zhengxiao couldn't help but feel hungry when he saw the bright red, plump and juicy melon flesh. He took a bite and found it juicy, crispy, sweet and slightly sandy. It tasted great.
Le Zhengxiao praised the melons as he ate them: "They are sweeter than ours! And more refreshing! Brother Shao, your family is a real treasure! Bring me two when you leave later!"
Everybody laughed.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Sure, there are plenty in my garden!"
This is true. Anyway, this melon seedling was brought back from the mountains. My family has been used to seeing it for a long time and does not think it is so rare at all. Before, they were very cautious about it and thought it was very precious, but later, after eating too much, they calmed down.
Le Zhengxiao's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "If all melons are of this size and taste, they will be in great demand in the provincial capital, and we can definitely make a small profit. Brother Shao, sister-in-law, how many do you have left? Why don't we just take two carts with us when we go back?"
If you start traveling from Heshan County to the provincial capital early in the morning, you can arrive in the evening and start selling the products the next day without any delay.
Even though the money earned from selling the two carts of watermelons would be just a drop in the bucket for Le Zhengxiao, it was true that watermelons were in short supply at this time of year, and taking them back as favors would be a very welcome good thing!
Besides, who knows what good things Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan will come up with in the future? Of course, they should cooperate first, and then they will have their own share of good things in the future.
Seeing that the watermelons were about to ripen, Qiao Xuan had been thinking about this for the past two days. She was overjoyed when she heard this and said with a smile, "In about three days, our watermelons will be ripe. Two trucks will definitely be no problem! If Master Le Zheng wants to buy them, it will just help our family solve a big problem! Originally, I was thinking of asking Shopkeeper Qin of Mingrentang to help sell them."
Le Zhengxiao laughed loudly: "So we really came here! That's great! In that case, let's make it a deal. I will send people to pick the melons in three days. How about the price of three coins per melon?"
There was no scale to weigh it at that time, and it was also troublesome. Le Zhengxiao's words were exactly what Qiao Xuan wanted. A watermelon cost three taels of silver, so she would not lose money no matter how she calculated it.
Qiao Xuan smiled and agreed happily.
The four of them chatted for a while, and Qiao Xuan handed over the 1,200 lipsticks to Le Zhengxiao for inspection, and gave ten each to Le Zhengxiao and Xie Jingrong.
