"One liang each. Yunzhou did sell it for that price. But in the past two years, with many wealthy families growing some on their farms, the price has ranged from five hundred to eight hundred wen. Why don't we set the price at four hundred wen each? If you can't buy a whole one, but only want a piece or half a piece, we can sell it by the jin, fifty wen per jin. I just weighed it, and it's around ten jin. This price is affordable for the people of Yunzhou."
Shanshui suggests the idea.
"I think so."
Cheng Yue calculated in his mind and nodded reluctantly.
Even though I had thought that I could make a lot of money from this melon, I didn't expect it to be made in this way!
"I don't care, as long as we make money. But I have a question. Should we still buy seeds from Boss He for next year's planting?"
Cheng Wu asked.
"That's not necessary. We also need to eat melons at home, and look at the ground. If we send a piece of melon every day during this period, we will be able to collect enough seeds for next year."
Cheng Yue pointed to the ground. Dahua was sweeping the floor and had just swept the garbage into a pile, in which there was a handful of big watermelon seeds.
"If we can save the seeds for ourselves, we can't lower the price too much when we discuss the price with Mr. He. The watermelons we eat are much sweeter and more delicious than any I've ever had before. I wonder how much Mr. He will make if he sells them to others?"
Cheng Wudao.
"Okay! Then we'll sell it to Boss He by the piece, 400 wen each. Just say 500 wen. If Boss He lowers the price, we'll lower it to 400 wen. If he doesn't, we'll just keep it to 500 wen!"
Knowing the price of the landscape, Cheng Yue did not hesitate and decided to sell it individually.
She knows her own melons, and her melons are definitely sweeter and more delicious than others.
"Is Captain Cheng here?"
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Dahua ran over to open the door.
"Oh, Captain Cheng, I'm so sorry! I was delayed on the way and just arrived now. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
A fat middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing a clerk's hat and smiling like Maitreya Buddha came in.
Behind him were two guards and an attendant.
"Boss He, I've been waiting for you for so long! Come, let me introduce you. This is my sister Cheng Yue and my future brother-in-law Mo Shanshui!"
Cheng Wu said with a smile.
"Mr. Mo, Miss Cheng, nice to meet you!"
Boss He bowed to the two of them.
"Boss He, have you eaten yet? Otherwise, I'll ask my eldest brother to make something for you?"
Cheng Yue asked.
"Alright! I've heard there's a delicious private kitchen in Taoyuan County, but I never thought it was owned by Captain Cheng. We've been traveling all morning, this is going to be troublesome!"
Boss He said embarrassedly.
Cheng Yue waved her hand and went to the backyard to ask Cheng Wen to prepare four sets of meals.
Cheng Wu and Shanshui also brought Boss He to the backyard, took out a chilled watermelon directly from the well, cut it into pieces, and greeted a few people first.
Boss He didn't hesitate and picked up the melon and started eating it.
After eating a piece of watermelon, Boss He felt very comfortable.
This hot weather is really not friendly to fat people. And this watermelon is chilled, it feels really good to eat.
When he took the second piece, Boss He was surprised to find that the melon was very sweet and seemed different from any he had tasted before!
Then the third piece, well, it is indeed different.
What does the Cheng family grow? It tastes better than what he eats in the west!
