As she said this, she looked at the woman inside and said:
"If Madam Liu wants to buy it, she should act quickly."
The seller bought this fruit from overseas merchants at a high price.
He wanted to use this to exchange for grain, which he would then donate to the disaster-stricken people of Wuning Prefecture.
In order to accumulate virtue for future generations.
All of this is now in the hands of the government.
At that time, the prefect's wife will send out invitations to everyone.
These wonderful items are available in limited quantities. Hesitation might cause them to sell out quickly.
As soon as Qiao finished speaking, the other two rooms, which had opened their doors a crack after hearing the noise in the corridor, silently closed their doors.
Those who can use these private rooms are all from wealthy families in the prefectural city.
When making a purchase here, the amount of silver must not be less than twenty taels.
They are not short of money, and perhaps they are not short of food either.
If one truly desires that fruit, upon hearing these words, one will surely attend the banquet and purchase it.
After saying this, Mrs. Qiao followed Chi Yu downstairs.
Before they even arrived at Guo Fu's house in their carriage, they could see from afar that the door was wide open.
There were about ten horse-drawn carriages parked outside the gate, and people were constantly loading baskets of things onto them.
When the carriage stopped, Chi Yu said, "Sister Qiao, let me help first, you can come over later."
"good!"
It was located not far from home, and soon Chi Yu went inside.
Everyone picked a lot more grapes in the space, and she can release them when she has the chance.
Madam Su also arrived. After the last basket of grapes was loaded onto the cart, she had her personal maid escort the fruit back herself.
As for myself, I stayed behind.
At that moment, she glanced at Chi Yu and Qin Mu, but finally took Chi Qiao's hand and said in an undisguisedly affectionate tone:
"Sister Zhou is so lucky to have married into the blessed Chi family and have such a righteous sister-in-law as Miss Chi."
Chi Qiao never expected that Madam Su would hold her hand and say such a thing, even accurately pronouncing her surname.
She thought that this lady must have heard Lord Su nag quite a bit.
As for Lord Su, as the prefect, he must know the state of Anping County under his jurisdiction.
It's only natural that the things her sister contributed attracted the attention of higher authorities, and their family was subsequently investigated.
Therefore, upon hearing this, she said with feigned emotion, "Yes, I am also very fortunate to have a sister-in-law like Xiaoyu."
She is not only very righteous, but also very filial. She supports me and my brothers and sisters-in-law.
In order not to burden Amu, he tried his best to find ways to make money.
To help his clansmen build houses, he devised a way to produce wood ash cement.
Mrs. Su not only didn't refute, but also smiled and agreed:
"I've also heard from my family that Miss Chi is quick-witted."
According to Lord Qin, the money used to buy the fruit was earned by Lady Chi through her own efforts.
He also said that it was Chi Xiaoniangzi who came up with the idea after hearing about the hardships faced by ordinary people outside, and wanted to help but was afraid that she wouldn't be able to buy enough food.
To be honest, I, the wife of the prefect, am not as good as her.
By the way, I heard that Miss Chi is very skillful and even bought some unknown seeds from overseas merchants, which she eventually managed to grow.
Last time, my family said that if potatoes and sweet potatoes could be widely adopted in our Great Chu Kingdom, it would be a great thing for the country and its people.
Chi Qiao smiled and replied again, "Little Fish is still too young to deserve such praise from Madam."
To be honest, this child lost her parents at a very young age, and it was me, her second and third sisters-in-law, and I who raised her as our own daughter.
