A bonfire was lit in the wheat field in the middle of the night. The group of people led by Song Kiln Master were exhausted. One by one, they sat down and never wanted to stand up again. They walked for two consecutive days. At the beginning, it was fine, but later on, they could only hold on with one breath.
Farmers don't have so many requirements. I thought it was good enough that the Qiao family fetched some well water for them to quench their thirst, but I didn't expect that after housekeeper Cao left for a while, he brought back a few baskets of green round melons.
Before they could react, the old women following behind picked up a round melon with kitchen knives, and with a "crack", the melon broke into two halves.
Under the flickering flames, Lord Song was able to clearly see the bright red flesh of the melon, the juice sparkling with an alluring crystal color.
Then, Butler Cao stuffed the cut watermelon slices into the hands of Village Chief Wang and others.
"Come on, come on, come and get some, and try whether the melon is sweet or not. The old lady said that it's too late, and there's no time to boil some hot water for everyone, so use our cold melon to quench your thirst first.
This is good stuff, eat it quickly so that you can have some dumpling soup later when your stomach is empty."
Village Chief Wang was stuffed with a large piece of winter melon. He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Butler Cao divide the melon among other people.
Seeing that everyone was holding the melons and standing there stupidly, not daring to move, Butler Cao couldn't help but raise his voice.
"What are you all standing there for? Aren't you thirsty or tired? Isn't it just like going home?
"Why are you guys hiding at the back? Come up and get them. I'll pass them to you one by one. When can you eat them? You can eat as much as you want today!"
The owner of the Song kiln was so honored and flattered that he couldn't move.
"Butler, this is not good. We are farmers, how can we eat such delicious food?"
Housekeeper Cao said with a smile, "What are you talking about? The old lady has spoken, so you can eat as much as you want. It's too late today, and after everyone finishes eating, they can only rest in the wheat field. We can settle the bill tomorrow morning after we have rested well."
The kiln owner Song almost cried when he heard this. He wiped his face with his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, let's eat!"
He opened his mouth wide and took a bite, then stuffed half of the watermelon into his mouth, chewing the rind into pieces and swallowing it.
My cheeks were bulging, and before I could chew, the rich and sweet juice instantly flowed into my throat. My smoking throat suddenly felt comfortable.
Seeing the situation here, the others stopped being shy and went forward to take it. After just one bite, they became intoxicated.
"It's so delicious! I feel so lucky to be able to eat something so delicious in my life!"
"This trip is totally worth it. No wonder those people in Wangjia Village always show off every time they go back!"
"If we knew that the boss's place was so good, we should have sent someone to take a look!"
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Eating melons won't stop you from talking. Just do your own thing. How can the boss let us down?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two young men who were communicating just now found that the melon on the table disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Everyone was concentrating on eating the melon, and few people were chatting about gossip!
In just a few words, how many pieces of melon did they miss?
To be honest, the group of people on the wheat field were in the same state as Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. After 20 or 30 people divided the watermelon, there was not a single piece of watermelon rind to be found on the whole field. But Cao, who had just walked away, was shocked.
Fortunately, he could understand why everyone was like that and didn't say it out loud.
They were not afraid of being embarrassed when they said it out loud. They were no better than the people in front of them when they ate melons for the first time. If the old lady hadn't stopped them, they would have even eaten the melon rinds and enjoyed the fragrance!
Butler Cao was busy here, and Qiao Xin had almost finished questioning.
This group of people set out from Qiongzhou with a large number of rare goods from overseas and traveled through the entire Nanliang, but not a single shop was interested in their goods.
Not only was the journey surprisingly smooth, but we also happened to arrive at the city wall after the city gates closed. We also happened to find out about Laohu Town, and also happened to run into the owner of the Song Kiln and his people.
This travelogue is so outrageous that her mother opened the door to it. It's so outrageous!
Dog system, can it be more coincidental?
System: "You can't blame me for this. You need it urgently, and you can't go to the Hu merchants in the northwest. So the only ones are the foreign merchants from the ancient Tea Horse Road in the south and the sea route. It's not that there are no foreign merchants coming from the south at this time, but the news has not spread widely.
These people with exotic looks are conspicuous wherever they go.
Wait until tomorrow morning and take them for a stroll around the town. Liang Shengming, Sun Hongye and the others will be there to testify for you. Then you can find out the origins of these strange things, right?
If someone comes to investigate, they will have wandered off to who knows where. We can wipe them out in no time! We are not afraid of them investigating. We will only do business with this couple of businessmen once every three or four years."
Qiao Xin said coldly: "You are so thoughtful, I have to thank you!"
"No need to thank me, just give me all the merit points you earned from saving the villagers and slaves of Hunshui Village the other day!"
Qiao Xin was busy with a series of operations in her mind, and then she uttered some harsh words.
: "If there is any problem with the corn seeds, I will skin you first!"
"Don't worry, these seeds are being planted. You can get 1,500 kilograms of them by just picking up a piece of land. In addition, we'll give you a small bag of peanuts and potatoes."
The system paused, "But you still have to spend money or barter to buy it! Do the whole thing!"
