"As far as I know, Mr. He isn't solely involved in the fruit business. If I were to continue growing melons, I might plant them earlier next year so they mature sooner and take longer to sell. Wouldn't that interfere with Mr. He's other business?"
Cheng Yue did not agree immediately, but asked.
"Of course there won't be any delay! My wife, you've seen it too. She's also managing the family business. My son can practice martial arts, so I don't have to keep an eye on him studying every day. My daughter lives with her grandmother, so you don't have to worry about her either. Without worrying about being laughed at, I, He Dafeng, wouldn't have had such a smooth life if it weren't for the help of my virtuous wife. My wife is even more capable than me, and she manages the family business in perfect order."
Boss He said proudly.
His son He Jun, who was about the same age as Cheng Jinxing, had been practicing martial arts since childhood and planned to take the imperial examination.
His daughter is still young and has always been taken care of by his mother.
So, his wife really does have time to do business with him.
"Miss Cheng, to be honest, I'm mainly going to the capital this time. My confidants are going to Jiangnan. I got news a few days ago that people there secretly saved seeds to plant melons next year. Oh, I don't believe they can grow melons as delicious as Miss Cheng's, so the price of these melons will definitely not drop next year."
"I've also noticed in the capital, and some people have indeed left seeds behind, but I'm not afraid. I've been traveling west for so many years, and when haven't I brought back seeds? So many families have bought seeds from me, but which family's subordinates have actually grown anything? Yes, some wealthy families have spent time and manpower to grow some, but those are not big watermelons, they're not even as big as a child's head."
"Miss Cheng, just trust me! Let's work together. You just need to be responsible for growing the watermelons at home, and I'll take care of the sales. Several restaurants in Beijing have already ordered the next batch of watermelons! Many big customers have also come to me, but I don't dare to determine the quantity. I don't know how many there will be in the next batch!"
"After we start working together, when the last batch of watermelons is sold, we can directly sign the order for next year. We don't have to worry about having too many next year and not being able to sell them or get a low price."
After Boss He finished his call, he wanted to drink some water again.
After he drank another glass, Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Boss He, every household in our village may plant it next year. Will you buy some from them?"
"Yes! As long as the goods are good, I will buy them from anyone! I will buy as many as I can. Miss Cheng, you don't know that there is a small country in the northeast of our Great Qi called Lingyang Country. They don't produce fruit there. If we transport them there and sell them to the nobles there, we can get more than one tael of silver per piece, we can sell them for two taels. If Xinghua Village grows them, there is one question I need to know: where do their melon seedlings come from? Do they come from Miss Cheng?"
Boss He finally thought of the crux of the matter. It seems that not everyone can grow such a big watermelon.
"Well, I plan to sell melon seedlings to the villagers. However, if Boss He says so, then Boss He will have to provide me with seeds, and I'm afraid it won't be enough. My father said he also plans to buy some wasteland in the village next door!"
Cheng Yue said with a smile.
"The seeds are fine. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll go west and get all the fruit seeds there for Miss Cheng."
He Dafeng said that this was a trivial matter.
