After Yun Nian'an came over, he looked at the leading man with a smile.
"Uncle, this is the watermelon my father told you to try."
When Old Man Yun saw his little granddaughter coming over, he hurriedly took the melon from Old Man Yun's hand.
He knew it must be his granddaughter's intention. With the third son's stupid brain, how could he think of bribing the officials!
Ah! That's not right, I'm honoring the official.
Old Man Yun handed the melon to the leading yamen runner and said, "Sir, we are new here and don't quite understand some of the rules!
I was unable to ask you for the booth fee, please don't take it to heart and thank you for taking the trouble to come over.
This is my melon, it's not worth much, you guys try it."
The leading man was about to refuse, but he heard the younger brother behind him whispering, "The boss's family sells watermelons. I heard they sell watermelons for ten taels of silver each! Many wealthy adults come here to buy them!"
He even lined up in person and just dispersed a while ago."
The leading yamen runner heard this and stared at him, "What did you say? Ten taels of silver for this thing?"
They looked at the watermelon in Old Man Yun's hand with disbelief. How could they eat such a precious thing?
I couldn't help but think that this family was really generous. They just gave away the melon worth ten taels of silver!
He couldn't help but hold the melon in his arms with a smile, and said happily: "You're welcome, we are the ones in charge of this street!
If anyone dares to cause trouble for you, just come to us and we will solve it for you.
We will protect your stall."
After saying this, he patted the watermelon, then turned around and left with the money handed to him by Old Man Yun.
After leaving, the men couldn't contain their joy, and the leading man looked at the melon in his hand very carefully.
What he was holding was not a melon, but ten taels of silver.
After thinking for a while, the leading man cleared his throat and looked at the brothers behind him: "Although we are yamen runners, our monthly salary is just a few dollars, or the bosses give us some fruits or something like that when we collect the booth fees.
Everyone has to eat, so I thought we might as well find someone to sell this expensive thing to, and I saw that the melon was quite big.
If I sell it for ten taels of silver and someone else buys it, then I won't lose anything! We divided the ten taels of silver among us brothers, and the family cut more meat for the children so that they can taste meat.
Otherwise, a melon like this would be gone after each person eats a few bites. Even if we eat more, we can’t eat it.”
When the brothers behind heard their boss say this, they all nodded.
They hadn't thought about sharing at all, but their eldest brother had said that it was to buy some meat for the children, and they couldn't refuse on behalf of their children.
Besides, the children are already pitiful. If they are sent to a poor family like this, they will have no food to eat!
I have to give him some money every month, otherwise the family might not even be able to make ends meet.
The few of them did not close their stalls immediately, but started looking for someone to sell the big melons to.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard a family member calling out to his steward: "The master has said enough, why are we still coming over?"
The manager rolled his eyes at the family and said, "Of course I'll buy one for the children at home. Even the adults line up to grab this precious thing. It's definitely bad for the children."
The steward can earn a lot of money in the mansion every month, and occasionally he will receive rewards from the ladies of each room.
Those wives are all shrewd people, and they find all kinds of ways to find out the whereabouts of their masters in front of them and try to figure out what their masters are thinking!
Although he is just a manager, he can make a lot of money from it.
The yamen runner heard Jia Mu talking to another manager, so he just stopped the manager with a watermelon in his arms.
"It seems you want to buy watermelons from the stand in front! Let me tell you, that stand is so crowded that you can't even squeeze in.
Look, I have one, and it's quite big. I'll sell it to you for ten taels of silver, right? Do you want it? If you don't want it, I'll sell it to someone else."
The steward came here with his master in the morning, and they waited in line for a long time even though it was so hot!
Finally it was their turn. The master bought a few things and had lunch before coming here. After hearing what the person in front of him said, he didn't want to wait any longer.
Moreover, if he doesn't get too excited or too greedy, and looks at the melon in the man's hand, it is really big, and ten taels of silver is not a loss at all.
"Then I'll take your melon and your ten taels of silver."
The steward counted out ten taels of silver from his purse, handed it to the head yamen runner, and then left with his family.
The head of the yamen runners had never imagined that money could come so easily. He weighed the heavy silver ingots in his hands and couldn't help but smile.
After dividing the money among the brothers, they went to other stalls humming songs to collect stall fees.
All the stall fees they collected had to be returned to the higher authorities.
Some people even keep daily records for long-term stalls. The prices of long-term stalls will be slightly cheaper than those that are closed every day.
At noon, Zhang Zhuang saw that he was almost done with his work, so he came to Yun Nian'an.
He whispered to her, "Girl, it seems that it is already past noon. My wife and I will make some dumplings for you and bring them over."
Old Man Yun waved his hands quickly: "No, no! You have been busy for most of the day, just sit down and take a rest!
Thank you so much, if you two weren't here to help, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to handle it today."
Zhang Zhuang smiled meaninglessly, but he was thinking in his heart, compared to the little girl's life-saving grace, this was nothing.
Yun Nian'an sincerely felt that the dumplings made by his family had thin skin and plenty of meat, and they were exceptionally fresh as soon as they were eaten.
"Uncle Zhang, I won't be polite, the wontons you make are amazing.
Why not work with Auntie to make more dumplings and bring them over?
By the way, as for your son’s matter, I will personally come over to see if he can be cured after I finish my work.”
When Qian Huiniang heard what Yun Nian'an said, she couldn't stop shaking all over.
"Girl, you mean to say that my two sons may really be able to be cured."
Zhang Zhuang also looked at Yun Nian'an intently, hoping that the little girl could save his two sons and save their lives without the need for medicinal herbs.
He could even make her legs fall to the ground, and he was willing to give his life to the little girl.
Yun Nian'an nodded and said, "My master taught me some medical skills. As long as the case is not too difficult, I can usually cure it!
Don't worry, your two children will grow up safely and smoothly."
Yun Nian'an thought that it was fate that they met him, and that both of them knew how to be grateful.
It's such a joy to help such people.
The most disgusting thing is if you save an ungrateful person and then get bitten by him.
The two men were so excited that they didn't know what to say. They wanted to kneel down and kowtow to the little girl to express their gratitude.
But still doing the business!
A lot of them were sold one after another, which even alarmed the people in the palace.
…
The eunuch next to the emperor whispered, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister has presented some cold melons."
The emperor couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "Where did the Prime Minister get the cold melon from?"
