Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue were also attracted by the crisp plums and peaches in front of them and picked them with Fan Xian.
As Li Xiaoran picked the jujube, she couldn’t help but eat one.
After taking a bite, the crisp and sweet taste of the green date burst on her taste buds.
Li Xiaoran couldn’t be bothered to say anything and quickly stuffed a big green date into Luo Cheng’s mouth.
“Husband, try it. It’s really delicious!”
Luo Cheng smiled when he saw the big green date being fed into his mouth. Then, he opened his mouth and ate it.
It had to be said that this green date tasted really delicious. No wonder Li Xiaoran liked it.
“Let’s pick more since these green dates taste so delicious!” Luo Cheng also liked big green dates.
Li Xiaoran nodded and the two of them continued to pick green dates.
After a cloth bag was filled, Luo Cheng took out another one.
After picking a total of two bags of green dates, Luo Cheng brought Li Xiaoran down the date tree.
On Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue’s side, they had also picked a lot of peaches and crisp plums, as well as ripe grapes.
After weighing the fruits, Luo Cheng gave the money to Fan Xian.
Fan Xian reminded, “You gave me too much money!”
Luo Cheng said, “Take this extra money as my compensation for your hard work. If there are any more fruits at your house, I’ll send someone to buy them when they mature in the future! At that time, I’ll have to trouble you to spend more effort! Or perhaps, you can sell all the fruits you plant in the future to me.
I’ll buy them at the price you can sell them at in town!”
Fan Xian was stunned when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
To be honest, this was a great thing!
Moreover, the price was the same as the price sold in town. This was a great thing for him!
“Yes, yes, yes, I’m willing to sell it to you! Benefactor, there are good and bad fruits. Don’t worry, I won’t sell bad fruits to you for a high price, ” Fan Xian said happily.
When Luo Cheng heard Fan Xian say this, he knew that he was an honest and trustworthy person.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say! However, the person who will come here in the future won’t be us, but the person who paid for you last time. His name is Zi Cheng. In the future, if we need to buy fruits, he’ll be in charge of coming over to interact with you. Remember, I won’t send anyone else. I’ll only send Zi Cheng over.”
When Fan Xian heard Luo Cheng’s words, he thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t you leave a token?! If the token matches the person, I’ll let him take the fruit away!”
After Luo Cheng thought about it, he felt that this was a good idea.
Therefore, he took out a wooden sign and took out a dagger to carve a word on it.
“Keep this wooden sign. When Zi Cheng comes to contact you, just ask him to take out the same wooden sign! By the way, when will your fruits ripen?! How will you inform us when you can pick them?”
Fan Xian thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t you leave me your address?”
Li Xiaoran said, “There’s no hurry. I see that you still have a lot of fruits in your orchard. We’ll send more people tomorrow to take these fruits away. Then, I’ll tell you how to contact us in the future!”
Luo Cheng felt that this was a good idea. The fruits planted by Fan Xian were all good. If he bought them and sold them in the wine shop, he would definitely earn a lot of money.
When Fan Xian heard this, he was even happier.
“Alright, I’ll wait at home for you guys to come!”
Luo Cheng said, “We won’t come tomorrow, I’ll send Zi Cheng to buy it! Anyway, you guys know each other. If the wooden sign matches, it means he’s my people! When the time comes, I’ll tell you the location!” Fan Xian nodded and sent Luo Cheng and the others out.
Luo Cheng and the others came in a carriage.
The carriage was very spacious. Even with so many fruits, there were still many empty seats.
After watching Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran leave, Fan Xian touched the heavy purse in his pocket and smiled.
After selling all these fruits, his family would have the money to build a new house.
With a house and a way to earn money, was there a need for him to worry about not being able to get a wife?
Fan Xian was really lucky this time. His life would definitely get better and better in the future!
When Fan Xian returned home, the matchmakers had already left, leaving his mother tidying things up.
After Fan Xian’s mother walked forward, she looked behind him and asked,
“Son, you’re back? Where are the nobles?”
Fan Xian said as he closed the courtyard door, “Mother, stop looking. The nobles left after buying the fruits!”
Fan Xian said as he carried the scale into the central room, “Mother, let’s go in and talk!”
After the mother and son sat down together, Fan Xian told them what had happened today.
Fan Xian took out the money bag from his arms and said, “Mother, look, this is a bag of silver!”
Seeing this, Fan Xian’s mother quickly weighed the purse.
“Son! There’s a lot of silver in here?”
“That’s right. Mother, our wish to build a new house is about to be fulfilled! When the nobles buy the remaining fruits tomorrow, our house can be built! I haven’t let you down. Our lives will get better!” Fan Xian said happily, “Not only this year, but in the future, all our fruits can be sold to the nobles. I don’t have to carry the sack out to sell them all day long. The price is the same as the price I sell things in town for!”
When Fan Xian’s mother heard this, she was overjoyed and excited that tears streamed down her face.
“That’s right! Back then, when we used the land to plant fruits, many people mocked us behind our backs! I still remember their mean words! Now, we can finally hold our heads up high. Let’s see who still dares to say that we’re crazy behind our backs in the future! ”
When Fan Xian heard his mother’s words, he felt sad.
That’s right. Over the years, the two of them had been mocked over these fruit trees.
Now, reality proved that his choice back then wasn’t wrong.
Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng sat in the carriage while discussing something else.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked, “Husband, what do you think about buying the house we’re living in now?”
“Buy it?” Luo Cheng didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to suggest such a thing.
Li Xiaoran voiced her thoughts, “Husband, think about it. Fan Xian’s family has a lot of fruits. I looked at them previously. There are fruits that ripen all year round. Since we want to buy all his fruits, we have to find a place to store them.. The house we’re living in now is the perfect place to do so!”
