Chapter 110: Smells like feet
"Little girl, your fruit is so good! It's delicious, so delicious!"
Han Xiaojiu held a big pink and tender peach in his hand, and his mouth started to water as soon as he took a bite.
The juicy, crisp, sweet and soft taste made his teeth sink into the peach and he was unable to react for a while.
So he could only swallow and praise it in silence.
Chen Xinli glanced over: "Huh? I didn't expect that this Han Jiuye is also a foodie!"
Han Yuan looked at his nephew with distress as he ate mouthful after mouthful, and said unhappily, "You little bastard, you're the reincarnation of a greedy ghost..."
Han Xiaojiu pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle, I have never eaten such delicious peaches. I only had a bite of the ones you brought home last time!"
While Chen Xinli handed peaches to the two of them, she also gave one to each of her brothers, and the whole family started eating.
After lunch, it is very pleasant to take a stroll and have some fruit.
Only Han Yuan held the peach carefully, watching a group of people eat the peaches, feeling so distressed that he didn't know what to do.
"Uncle, there are still some, you can eat them without worry!" he said, pointing to the peaches on the cart.
Han Yuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Others may not know the value of this fruit, but he knows it very well. This peach is worth ten gold coins.
Although my family is not short of money, this thing is really rare!
I didn’t expect that this family selling fruits could achieve fruit freedom.
This is really something I have never seen before in my life.
Seeing that his nephew, who looked like a starving ghost, had finished the peach in his hand in just a few bites and was still staring at the one in his hand, Han Yuan didn't want to keep it anymore and started eating it too.
After eating one, my stomach was full, but I still felt unsatisfied.
He also looked at the bamboo basket on the cart of Chen Xinli's family.
"Hiccup..."
Han Xiaojiu burped.
Han Yuan glared at him unhappily and waved his hand at him, meaning for him to leave and go back first.
But Han Xiaojiu seemed not to see it at all, and stared at the Shen family's cart with shining eyes.
Han Yuan was so angry that his beard stood up straight. He looked at Chen Xinli with a helpless smile and said, "Little girl, how about we discuss another business deal?"
"Oh?" I wonder what Uncle Han wants to talk about?
"I wonder how much fruit you have left at home?"
Han Yuan thought that this family and the relative who sold fruit had all moved here because the Rong people moved south, so he asked directly.
"Uncle, are you going to buy all the fruits from my relatives?" Chen Xinli asked curiously.
Han Yuan laughed, "Of course I want to take them all, but I'm afraid my family won't be able to eat them all. Can you do the same as last time, but give me five hundred taels this time?"
"Five hundred taels?"
Shen Fuyou's eyelids twitched and he glanced at the guys behind him.
The brothers all looked at their sister excitedly.
But Chen Xinli thought for a moment before saying, "Of course it's possible, but it's extremely difficult to transport fruits nowadays. My relatives can't transport all of this at once, so the price of this fruit will have to go up a bit.
We can send a batch over in three days. Where should we ship it to?"
Han Xiaojiu hurried forward and gave the address.
Han Yuan immediately glared at him, then asked Chen Xinli with a smile, "May I ask what the price is now?"
"It's fate that brought us together. The Xianggai will cost twenty cents more than before, and the Shuimitao ten cents more. I wonder if this price is acceptable to you?"
"Sure, sure," Han Yuan accepted it happily.
On that day, the fragrant cap cost seventy cents each and the peach fifty cents each. It only cost twenty taels to buy two large carts.
He sold most of it as retail along the way and soon made a profit of more than 100 taels of silver.
Later, I learned from other merchants how rare this fruit was, and I felt a little regretful.
Fortunately, there were still two baskets of fragrant mushrooms and two baskets of peaches left when we arrived at the provincial capital.
He specially sent three baskets to the prefect.
Sure enough, he soon received his reward.
In addition to the prefect sending someone to inform him to join the Chamber of Commerce, the King of Shu also specially rewarded him with ten gold coins, saying that he had made great contributions by offering auspicious signs.
Therefore, even if Chen Xinli said that the fruit was one or two taels of silver each, he would still buy more.
After all, the rewards from the King of Shu and the profits that the Chamber of Commerce brought to them could not be measured in money.
Han Yuan was overjoyed.
He immediately took out a silver note of one hundred taels and handed it to Chen Xinli as a deposit.
It was the first time that Chen Xinli saw a banknote, and she looked at it for a long time.
"You can exchange it at the bank in the county." Afraid that the little girl might lose it, he reminded her to be careful.
Chen Xinli was naturally very grateful and immediately said to the two of them, "Well, I have four more baskets of fruit to send to you first. This half basket of peaches is not included in the list. I'll give it to your family to try."
When they left the mountain, they brought five baskets of fruit, and they had already eaten nearly half of the peaches.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, you don't need to send me off."
Han Xiaojiu immediately ran to the edge of the cart, took a deep breath in front of the basket of incense covers that had been moved down, and looked intoxicated.
Several young servants in green clothes nearby hurried forward, each holding a basket.
Han Yuan was grimacing on the side, it was simply unbearable to watch.
Received an order for 500 taels of fruit today.
He needs to plan carefully.
The xianggai was brought from Qiongtai Island by the little girl's relatives. This fruit is not like other objects, it is easy to be bumped and rotted, and it is extremely difficult to transport.
Since they said it would be delivered in three days, he didn't have to worry.
Han Yuan was immersed in his own thoughts.
"Hey, what is this? And it's pitch black?"
