Eunuch Fu said: "It is the people of our great dynasty who sell winter melons on the street, but this kind of winter melon is not called winter melon, but watermelon.
Guan Xin, a servant of the Prime Minister, happened to see someone selling watermelons on the street.
I heard that the business is very good, the price of one melon is only two taels of silver, which is quite cheap, and it is even said that the melon tastes better than winter melon.
It was immediately rushed to the palace."
"Oh, really? Have someone cut it and serve it to me so I can taste it."
The emperor was really curious about this kind of winter melon, as its production in the Western Regions was extremely rare.
Eunuch Fu quickly took the winter melon away, cut it into small pieces and brought it to the emperor.
The emperor looked at it carefully and found that it was a bit like a winter melon, but it seemed to be better than the winter melon and it didn't even have seeds.
The old general brought Xie Jinan here. The old general came here this time to talk about the situation on the border.
The emperor was tasting a watermelon when he saw the old general coming and waved his hand.
"Quick, take a seat."
Eunuch Fu quickly moved a chair and placed it in front of the old general.
"My dear minister, you came here to talk about the situation on the border. Let's put it aside for now. Come and try it. This is made by the people of the Great Dynasty and is called watermelon. It tastes better than the cold melon."
When Xie Jinan saw the watermelon brought over by Eunuch Fu, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He had been to Old Yun's house and had seen this thing called watermelon with his own eyes.
The old general next to him saw the boy's eyes widened and he looked dazed and asked quickly: "Is there something wrong with this thing called watermelon?"
Xie Jinan quickly shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with it."
The old general then breathed a sigh of relief, took out a piece from the tray and handed it to Xie Jinan.
The more the emperor ate, the happier he felt. He was convinced that his great dynasty could even grow winter melons.
Since they are not from the Western Regions, I think they will not be given to the people of their great dynasty, especially from what Eunuch Fu said, they still look like a farming family.
"Let's take some people over to investigate and see how it was grown."
When Xie Jinan heard the eunuch's words given by the emperor, he shuddered. It seemed that he had to tell the old Yun family about their situation.
In case the Yun family accidentally offends the emperor, it would be bad. As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. What if the Yun family is unwilling to hand over the method and anger the emperor again?
"emperor"
The emperor looked up at Xie Jinan and asked, "Jinan, do you have anything to say?"
Xie Jinan took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the man who sells watermelons."
When the emperor heard this, he sat up straight and looked interested.
"Your Majesty, you still remember the sweet potatoes we planted, they also came from that family.
And the little girl from the old Yun family saved me from the strange poison, otherwise I would have died long ago..."
The emperor learned from Xie Jinan that the Yun family had a little girl who was not very old, but had a beautiful face and a master who traveled around the world.
The crop yield per mu is several thousand kilograms. Although the crops have not yet come out, we don’t know how much there will be!
But the young general said he saw it with his own eyes, so the emperor naturally believed it.
The Xie family was loyal to the emperor and served the country, and protected the great dynasty from generation to generation.
Many members of the Xie family died in the battle, but they became more and more courageous.
At this time, Xie Jinan, at a young age, had already worked his way up the army and no one disobeyed him, and he even became a general.
The emperor thought for a moment and looked at Xie Jinan: "Since you are acquainted with the girl from the Xie family, why don't you go over and take a look.
If you could bring the little girl here so I can see what a good person she is, she would be praised to the sky by you.
By the way, the sweet potatoes should be about the same."
Xie Jinan responded, "Yes, then I will step back and take a look."
The emperor nodded, and Xie Jinan retreated.
After Xie Jinan left the palace, he asked along the way and found out where the family selling watermelons was.
After searching for a while on the street, I finally saw Old Man Yun.
"Grandpa Yun."
Old Man Yun always felt that someone was calling him from behind. When he turned around and saw it was Xie Jinan, he slapped his thigh.
"Hey, isn't this Jin'an? Why are you here too?"
"Grandpa Yun, you came to the capital to sell watermelons? I heard about it, so I came here to see if it was you!"
Old Man Yun listened and nodded: "We have collected too much. I don't think we can sell them at a good price in our small county, so we came here to sell them."
Xie Jinan nodded repeatedly: "Nian'an is here."
"Here I come, sitting at the melon stall!
I'm going out to buy some food, come on, Nian An will be happy to see you."
Xie Jinan followed obediently behind, and when they arrived at the stall, Old Man Yun called out Yun Nian'an.
"My dear, look who's here!"
Yun Nian'an's eyes lit up when he saw the young general. He had been worried that the farmers would not be able to keep their watermelons, so he had come to the capital to sell them.
I thought about going to the capital as a person from the Western Regions, but then I thought that no matter how I dressed up, I wouldn't look like one. At worst, when someone asked me, I could just say I was selling melons for people from the Western Regions.
It had been half a day since they were sold, but no one asked where the watermelons came from.
Even if there were questions, they were basically changed to another topic.
Now that she saw the young general, she finally felt relieved.
Given her friendship with the young general, she wanted to see who dared to take advantage of her watermelon.
When Old Man Yun saw Xie Jinan talking to his granddaughter, he quickly called Old Man Yun, "Quick! Go cut a melon."
Yun Lao San quickly cut the watermelon and placed it in front of the two little guys.
Xie Jinan was not polite and picked up a piece of melon and started eating.
He had long missed this dish, but where could he find it outside Taoliu Village?
"You must have heard that I sell winter melons here, so you guessed it was us."
Xie Jinan couldn't stop nodding while eating the melon.
"Yes, today I went to the emperor's study and he was eating a watermelon!
It is said that the Prime Minister sent it. I guess all the watermelons in your stall will be sold out at once.
But you should still have a lot of melons at home, right? I want all the melons at home, so that the good things don’t go to outsiders!
I will help you sell it, the price will definitely be much higher than if you sell it yourself, and I will just charge you a small amount at that time."
Although Xie Jinan said this, he would not actually take any money from the little guy.
If he didn't say that, Old Man Yun would probably not be willing to let him help sell it.
