When Li Yuan arrived at Lijia'ao, she first collected all the things Wang Can had given her.
After releasing all the watermelons and strawberries in the space, he diluted some spiritual spring water with a kettle and used it to water the strawberries and watermelons in the field.
As soon as she finished watering the watermelon, Xie Yanzhi's voice came from outside the door.
"Yuan Niang, open the door. Brother Cao, Master Xu and Master Bai are here!"
When Li Yuan brought back the watermelons grown by Wang Can, Xie Yanzhi took two from her side.
One of them was given to Cao Zhi, and the other was given to Xu Chongguang.
Cao Zhi won't talk about it. He has a good vision. After eating the watermelon, he knew how much benefit it could bring to him.
Of course, he also understood that the reason why people were willing to come to him or specially give him this taste was based on the previous happy cooperative relationship.
Xu Chongguang was thinking about political achievements, and Xie Yanzhi promised him that if the people of Liuyun County could survive the disaster safely this year, watermelons would be spread throughout Liuyun County next year.
Xu Chongguang is not very bright, but Master Bai around him will draw big cakes for him, so he is also very ambitious.
No, he had just returned to the Yamen and didn't even have time to rest when he learned that there was a batch of watermelons in Lijia'ao that he wanted to sell to Brother Cao, so he asked Master Bai to follow him.
Li Yuan heard the sound outside the door and opened the door.
When she saw several carriages lined up outside the door, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Because now the entire Lijia'ao people are planting sweet potatoes and working together, the struggle value of the space has increased a lot.
When the struggle value reaches a certain point, the prestige value will be increased.
And this has made the land that was not growing very fast now grow much faster.
Correspondingly, there are also a lot of watermelons in the space.
She plans to sell all the watermelons today. When Su Mingshan comes in April or May, all the ones grown in Lijia'ao will be sold to Su Mingshan.
As for the ones in her own space, she will decide who to sell them to depending on the situation.
Brother Cao and Magistrate Xu had both eaten the watermelons given by Xie Yanzhi. After they stepped into Li's house, their eyes lit up when they looked at the ones planted in the ground.
One thing that comes to mind is how much money can be made from it.
The other person wants to wait until next year, when the whole county is promoted to take out food, how much tax can be increased in the county government.
What kind of evaluation can he get for his political achievements?
Li Yuan pretended not to see the expressions of the two people. After inviting them in, she said to Xie Yanzhi: "Brother Xie, the watermelons are all placed in the new house. The door is not closed. Go pick two and open them to call everyone." Let’s have a taste, I’ll call the clan leader and grandpa to come over.”
Xie Yanzhi knew that Li Yuan wanted them to come over and watch the process of selling watermelons with his own eyes, so that they could know the price of watermelons and give the tribe members peace of mind.
Just after Li Yuan finished speaking, she saw Old Man Li, Li Qinghua and others arriving before they had even gone far.
"Master, Uncle Hua, you are here just in time. Master Xu and Brother Cao happen to be at home. I was about to invite you."
Old Man Li was confused. He didn't know why so many carriages suddenly came to his house, so he asked: "Mother Yuan, what are all these carriages for?"
"Watermelons and strawberries! Sir, you guys just happened to come over and see the prices of these two fruits."
When Li Qinghua and Old Man Li saw this, they looked at each other and quickened their pace to enter Li's house.
Xie Yanzhi happened to come out of the new house, carrying a basket.
There were two watermelons under the basket, and some strawberries in individual bowls above.
When he saw people, he called Uncle Hua and Grandpa, and went straight to the well in the yard to wash these things.
Li Duo also came. He glanced at the strawberries and watermelons in the yard, compared them with his own, and then silently looked away.
Xie Yanzhi had already washed the strawberries and said to him: "Brother, help me bring the strawberries in and let everyone taste them first. I will go to the kitchen to get a knife and go into the hall to cut the watermelon."
"good!"
Li Duo reacted and entered the main room with a bowl of strawberries.
None of the people present, including Li Duo and Old Man Li, who also grew strawberries at home, had eaten strawberries.
When Xie Yanzhi entered the main room with a knife and watermelon, Li Yuan followed the other elders of the Li clan.
The small main hall of the Li family was filled with people in a short time.
After Xie Yanzhi opened the watermelon, Li Yuan took the knife, cut it into thin slices neatly, and asked Li Duo to help divide it out.
When Xu Chongguang and Brother Cao ate, they both felt that the watermelon this time was more delicious than the one given by Xie Yanzhi before.
Because it was late, Brother Cao knew that the fruits were grown here in Li Yuan, so he went straight to the point and asked, "How can my brothers and sisters sell these two things?"
"What price can Brother Cao give?"
"The sour, sweet and fragrant fruit in the bowl just now is delicious, but it is not easy to transport at first glance. I will give you 200 yuan per pound. In addition, this melon can be sold individually, and it is small. All are 500 renminbi, and the big one is 800 renminbi. What do my brothers and sisters think?"
Not to mention Li Yuan's reaction, the elders of the Li clan present couldn't help but take a breath when they heard the price.
You must know that they work hard for a year and grow two crops of rice on one acre of paddy field.
After excluding taxes, it is far from worth the price.
Unfortunately, this was only the price of a watermelon, and it was impossible not to shock them.
Xie Yanzhi was not satisfied with the price. Before Li Yuan could speak, he said, "Brother Cao, it's cheap. This is the first one in the Yun Kingdom!"
In business, Brother Cao said directly: "It's not cheap. The fruit in the bowl just now is extremely difficult to transport. I have to include the loss in it. In addition, this melon is delicious and good for quenching thirst, but before you The melons that were delivered to me broke when I tried to slap them hard with my hands. Therefore, as long as there are bumps on the road when transporting them to other places, those melons will inevitably crack when they collide with each other. We will also have to suffer this damage. Count it in.”
Li Yuan said: "That's what I say, but Brother Cao can use a layer of straw and a layer of watermelon. As far as I can see, Brother Cao doesn't even need to transport these things. We can sell them all in Liuyun County. Like Min How can one or two melons survive in a house or the like with so many people? Their house should have an ice cellar. You can buy a few more watermelons, put them in the ice cellar, and eat them out on hot days. Not to mention they won’t go bad and the taste is still good. It’s particularly good. And those merchants from Liuyun County, don’t you want to buy it and try it out?”
Xie Yanzhi also said: "The price of cream strawberries is cheaper. There are not many fruits of this kind, and it is more troublesome to grow than watermelons. So the lowest price per pound is at least two taels. If Brother Cao thinks it is inappropriate, then this For business, I’ll find others to cooperate with.”
Of course Brother Cao knows that strawberries with cream are good, but it is really difficult for him to transport them, and he doesn’t know how many there are in the Li family.
If there are too many, he won't be able to transport them and sell them immediately after buying them, so he will lose them in his hands, which is really not cost-effective.
