Oops! After Li Gong said this, the others naturally started to get a little jealous. Looking at the cut melons placed on the car, they couldn't help but feel curious.
Upon seeing this, Li Yuanzhao quickly took the melon and passed it around.
The dozen or so people in the front row began to savor the melons.
Fang Zhengyi pinched a piece in advance, and the bite was indeed sweet!
Li Yuanzhao came to him mischievously and whispered: "Old Fang, is it sweet?"
"Sweet! Did your Highness add sugar to it?"
Li Yuanzhao smiled proudly: "You must have no idea what I did. Yesterday afternoon, I came up with a way to make the melon sweeter."
"Guess how it was done? That's all! I'm sorry you can't guess it either!"
"I mixed some honey water, and there are some penicillin syringes in the East Palace that you used to poison before. They were injected with syringes. You didn't expect it!"
"Your Highness is brilliant!
Fang Zheng was speechless as he gnawed on the melon.
This is a water-injected melon. What’s unexpected is that it accuses me of poisoning.
"Hey, Lao Fang, this isn't false propaganda, is it?"
"It doesn't count!"
At best, this can be regarded as a transformation of primary agricultural products into processed agricultural products. This idea is worth tens of thousands of dollars!
Everyone, you take one bite, and I eat one bite at a time.
There were endless compliments, as expected of the melons sold by the prince, they were so sweet!
Can melon with honey water not be sweet? !
Fang Zheng looked at everyone's reactions and didn't know what to think.
crooked! It’s getting more and more crooked!
Zheng Qiao also took a piece of melon, took two bites, smacked his lips and said with some unfinished thoughts: "Your Highness, where did this melon come from? Is it possible that melons are grown in the palace?"
"This is what I purchased from Taoyuan County!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that the goods were imported from Taoyuan County, so it's not surprising.
The folk customs in that place were different from those in normal places. There were women openly fighting on the street, and no one stopped them.
What's the point of having an out-of-season watermelon? Maybe it's a cold-resistant variety?
"Okay! Then pick one for me! Pick the bigger one!" Li Yansong pointed at Fang Zhengyi.
Hey, I am a dignified person, not sleeping at home but selling melons here!
Fang Zheng reluctantly picked a watermelon from the melon pile and patted it.
He brought it to Li Yansong and asked, "Is this okay, Mr. Li?"
When the melons were brought to Li Yansong, he hesitated again: "How can we get melons this season? Did they plant them late? There won't be any."
Fang Zheng looked displeased: "The prince and I will set up a fruit stall and sell you raw melon and eggs? Do you want it?"
Li Yansong smiled bitterly and took out his money bag: "I want it! If you don't do business like this, your attitude can't be so bad even if it's a charity sale! How much is it?"
"Twelve pieces each, not counting the weight." Li Yuanzhao took the initiative and said
"How much?!" Li Yansong took his hand out of his purse and looked at Li Yuanzhao in disbelief.
"Twelve taels." Li Yuanzhao repeated it again.
The crowd was in an uproar, and then a group of courtiers began to whisper.
Ten taels of silver, although no one here takes ten taels of silver seriously, then you can't be so much higher than the market price, right?
"Damn it, is it made of gold from the melon skin, or is it made from gold from the melon particles?"
"Ten taels of silver! Isn't this just robbing people? No matter how sweet it is, it's still a melon! Isn't it different from eating ordinary melons soaked in honey water?"
"Hey! When you say that, I feel like this melon is a bit weirdly sweet! Couldn't it just be filled with honey?"
"If it's filled with honey water, there should be a break. Take one and check..."
Li Yansong stood in the crowd, looked at Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao suspiciously, and then took the melon from Fang Zhengyi's hand.
Turn around and face the crowd to check.
Li Yuanzhao looked at a group of ministers with their backs turned in astonishment. Cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he looked at Fang Zhengyi as if asking for help.
Fang Zhengyi shrugged helplessly.
These old goblins are not so easy to fool!
It's easy to fool someone who has never seen something like glasses, but something common in life like watermelon is not so easy to fool.
We can only hope that the pinhole will not be discovered.
A group of people held melons and passed them around repeatedly.
"There is no breach here. How did the honey water get poured in?"
"Could it be that the whole melon was soaked in honey water?"
"Chi Liu...impossible, the rind of this melon is not sweet!"
"Huh? There seems to be one here in Guati... No, no, it seems to be this variety, so sweet!"
Zheng Qiao did not participate in the discussion, but looked at Fang Zhengyi with squinted eyes, and then he had the answer in his mind.
He leaned into the crowd and whispered: "Everyone, these twelve melons are so expensive! But you see, Fang Zhengyi still looks reluctant. It can be seen that these melons were forcibly pulled from Taoyuan County by the prince. Otherwise, Fang Zhengyi will keep this treasure for himself and enjoy it!"
"According to my observation, although Fang Zhengyi is young, he is proficient in health preservation!"
"This melon is definitely not an ordinary melon. It may have health-preserving properties!"
A group of people stood there thinking for a while, and then nodded.
"It makes sense! Fangzheng was not happy when he saw the silver, so he must have suffered a loss! Ten taels... looks really cheap!"
After the discussion, everyone turned around again, and Li Yansong happily took out ten taels of silver: "Okay! Since it is a charity sale, ten taels is ten taels!"
Li Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. It seemed that nothing was revealed...
When Fang Zhengyi handed over the watermelon again, Li Yansong happily took it and held it in his arms.
As I get older, my only hobby is health care. This thing is very rare. Go back and savor it carefully!
"Choose one for me too!"
With such a start, other officials began to buy honey-infused watermelons one after another.
Li Yuanzhao was filled with joy as he passed the watermelons one by one, while Fang Zhengyi kept shaking his head and sighing while accepting the money.
Damn it, what the hell!
People are still rushing to buy dozens of melons each. When did business become so easy?
Even if watermelon is sweet, it won't be like this. Am I the only one who doesn't like watermelon?
Maybe I should build more greenhouses...
The more helpless he looked, the happier the ministers became.
Only twelve taels! I made a profit, you lost!
Under the rush of everyone, the car full of watermelons was sold out in a short time.
Li Yuanzhao grinned and said loudly: "Sold out! Sold out! There are no more honey melons!"
"Your Highness, isn't there another cart?" Unexpectedly, he looked at the other melon cart behind Li Yuanzhao with dissatisfaction.
Li Yuanzhao jumped onto the car, cleared his throat and shouted: "The honey melons are sold out! This is another kind of melon!"
"This cart is even more expensive. It's called Milk Melon. It's fifteen taels each! It's first come, first served!"
Milk melon! ? It’s so fresh. Can you taste the milky flavor when you eat a melon?
Everyone was surprised. It was not sweet, but it was unheard of to eat fruit with a milky aroma.
When everyone was confused, they saw Li Yuanzhao taking out a melon directly from the melon cart.
Just like the previous one, I cut it into ten pieces with the knife in my hand.
A large puddle of milky white liquid immediately burst out of the melon, and the bright red flesh was particularly eye-catching.
Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little creepy when he saw the liquid flowing out of the melon.
Rub, if you guessed it correctly...it must be milk inside!
This is a milk melon! This is a fucking watermelon, so who can eat it? !
In addition, if it was the milk that was poured last night, wouldn’t the melons have gone bad?
Depend on! Don't take advantage of these old people!
The prince is really lacking in virtue this time! Fang Zheng cursed inwardly.
Zheng Qiao secretly observed him, and when he saw the sudden change in his face, he felt happy and immediately shouted: "Your Highness, I will give you one!"
"I want it too! I want it too!"
Now everyone is not waiting to try it! Such a rare thing, buy it first before talking about it.
Duke Zheng is following suit! Don't take advantage of me, you bastard!
