Chapter 299 Who is narrow-minded?
Fan Jie Qiang doesn't eat things of unknown origin.
Then he glanced at Follower A and said, "Come and try it!"
Follower A was about to reach out his hand happily, but was slapped away by Follower B.
Fan Jieqiang: "What are you doing? Are you itchy?"
Attendant B said, "Sir, I saw someone in Room 2 of Tianzi eating this this morning. I heard it's delicious!"
Hawkeye smiled and said, "Just eat it with confidence, sir. We've already sold tens of thousands of kilograms of watermelon, so there won't be any problems."
Fan Jie took a bite reluctantly, and after tasting the flavor, he devoured it in no time, leaving only the melon rind in the blink of an eye.
"How many watermelons do you have?"
"About 20,000 kilograms."
"I took them all."
"Sir, why don't you ask the price first?"
"No need to ask the price for such a good thing."
Although Fan Jie Qiang has never managed a family business, he understands that for novel fruits like this, people will buy them no matter how high the price is.
Hawkeye was slightly startled. "This watermelon is now sold in town for twenty cents a pound. If you buy them all, the price can be even cheaper..."
"Don't make it any cheaper! You've degraded such a good thing!" Fan Jieqiang said, "Stop selling watermelons in town immediately. Even if you do sell them, don't sell them for less than 100 coins per pound. Just listen to me, it's absolutely right!"
Hawkeye whispered, "Boss, is this guy reliable?"
"Change, do you want to learn the music?" the little dumpling said in a baby voice.
"Is that even a question?" Fan Jie Qiang said proudly. "Just because I spent thirty thousand taels of silver to buy back my name, you should be able to tell what kind of person I am."
"Yeah!" The little dumpling nodded sincerely, "There's a lot of money in being promiscuous."
Fan Jieqiang: “…”
Forget it, I won’t bother with the kid.
The little dumpling blinked his big black eyes and said, "Change, sir, do you have any money?"
Fan Jie Qiang instantly wilted, "My dear aunt, I really can't hide anything from you!"
"But it doesn't matter!"
Fan Jieqiang took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to his attendant, "Tell the coachman, Lao Li, to go to the nearest Fan's Bank to get some silver for me."
"Sir, why don't you let Old Li handle such an important matter?" Attendant A asked earnestly.
"The journey is long and there may be difficulties and obstacles, sir!" Follower B said sincerely.
"What do you want to say?"
"It's more appropriate for us to go!"
"No, let Old Li do it." Fan Jieqiang said mischievously, "If you leave, who will support me for the next few days?"
Follower: "..."
Ever since they were abused by that terrifying Ye Yanping, the young master has disliked them.
Fan Jieqiang's driver drove the carriage away. Fan Jieqiang said to Hawkeye, "He will be back with the silver in two days at most. Then we can cooperate again."
"Okay, then I'll wait two more days."
Breakfast time is over, and the villagers from all over the country pack up their stalls and go back home, and the villagers from Heihe Village come out to take over.
Half of the women prepared ingredients for lunch, while the other half went to clean and tidy up the inn.
The men continued to carry soil.
Due to time constraints, only the site for building the inn was cleared last night, and most of the mountain's soil was still left to be transported away.
"Are you going to build an inn in your village?" the guests asked curiously.
"Whether we build an inn or not, we need to clear the land," the villagers said with a smile. "We plan to build a stable here so our distinguished guests can park their carriages."
After saying that, they started digging and transporting the soil in full swing.
The guests were deeply moved by the villagers' fighting spirit.
Most of them stayed here for two nights and witnessed some incredible things, but what impressed them most was the villagers' spirit of unity and their willingness to face challenges head-on.
Removing a mountain is no easy task, but Heihe Village got to work.
It seems that there are no problems that cannot be solved in the eyes of the villagers.
It seems that in this world, there are no mountains they cannot climb, no rivers they cannot cross, and no things they cannot accomplish.
Heihe Village is like a paradise, so fresh and unique, intriguing and full of attractive magic.
At noon, ten new dishes were added to the menu of Heihe Village Food Street because many of them would be returning home after this meal.
Yunniang specially served new dishes, which made them very satisfied.
Everyone ate and chatted.
"I heard there's a Wild Bear Ridge behind your village, and it's full of ferocious beasts?"
The villagers hurriedly warned, "It's very dangerous there, our guests must not go there!"
"Of course we won't go. It's just that you haven't taken advantage of such a great resource!"
A guest suggested, "You could learn from the imperial palace and build an exotic animal park and tame the wild animals. This gimmick alone would attract countless guests to visit."
The villagers laughed innocently and said, "Forget it. Wild beasts are wild beasts and should live in the forest. If they are tamed and locked up, they are no longer wild beasts!"
"You're really narrow-minded," the guests said. "If you build this exotic animal park, maybe you can impress Princess Mingzhu. If the princess is happy, the emperor will be happy, and he'll be rewarded handsomely, right?"
The villagers smiled and stopped talking.
Ever since the strawberry tribute incident, they have had no good feelings towards Princess Mingzhu and the palace. They don't want to attract the attention of this princess!
They just want to live their own lives in peace and stability. They can't afford to live with a princess.
It would be best if Heihe Village and the Imperial Palace never had any intersection.
When the meal was halfway through, two people suddenly rushed out and stood in front of the diners.
"Everyone, drinking alone is a bit boring after all. Why don't you let me and my brother show you some of our specialties? If you like them, please give us a tip!"
The diners thought they were from Heihe Village and said, "That's great! Your village is getting better and better at making money!"
"He's not from our village!" The villagers wanted to laugh for some reason when they saw Fan Jie Qiang sitting in his seat, holding a folding fan and looking calm.
This Mr. Fan is truly a remarkable man.
He had friends around him, but instead of borrowing money from them, he asked two followers to come out and perform.
The two of them didn't disappoint, using all sorts of martial arts, such as crushing rocks with their chests, juggling wine jars, sword dancing, and even breaking bricks with their bare hands...
Their skills were a little rusty, but they worked hard and won a lot of applause. Silver and copper coins rained down in front of them.
Daqiang's father couldn't sit still anymore.
If this can be performed to make money, then he can do it!
He learned ventriloquism when he was young, and after all these years, he has not forgotten this skill. He practices it whenever he has free time, but he has never found a suitable stage.
Daqiang's father was a little excited, "Village head, Master Xiaojiu, I can also earn this money!"
The village head laughed and said, "Last year I asked you to imitate Huo Zhongnian's voice, and you did a pretty good job. If you're not stage-frightened, you can give it a try!"
Daqiang's father suddenly felt a little scared because he had never performed seriously before.
Xiao Jiuer waved and whispered a few words to Daqiang's father.
Just then, the performances of the first two people ended.
The guests were enjoying the wine and food when they suddenly heard a tiger roar.
The sound was so close, as if the beast was right at hand.
"Oh my god! The tiger from Wild Bear Ridge has escaped and eaten people!"
Everyone stood up and ran away in chaos.
"Don't panic, everyone! This is ventriloquism!" the village head shouted. "You all always say there's no entertainment in Heihe Village. Now, Heihe Village will present a show for you!"
The little girl said in a tender voice, "If you have money, you can support the money show. If you don't have money, you can support the lewd show! Sit down!"
