Chapter 670： sell

The carriage had just stopped in front of the mansion, and before everyone dismounted, they heard the sound of hooves approaching.

As soon as Pei Xiu opened the car door, he saw a squire turned over from the horse and stood in front of Zhou Cheng's horse.

"General Zhou, His Royal Highness is very interested in the grapes planted in your house, and sent someone to send a message. Please come into the palace. Also, His Highness asked you to bring some grapes into the palace."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I will explain to my wife."

He rode his horse to Pei Xiu, "I'll go into the palace. If anyone comes to visit, don't promise anything, wait until I come out of the East Palace."

"Ok, I know."

Does this arouse the interest of the palace? I don't know if she can sell it privately.

She ordered the servants to carry the grapes back to the main courtyard. Before she was seated, she listened to the servants to report that several stewards of the palace came to the door to ask for purchases at the master's order...

Fortunately, when she entered the door, she instructed the housekeeper to always tell the outside world that she was unwell and needed to rest, and no one was seen. When she asked for a purchase, she said that the quantity was small and she would not sell it.

They are now nobles and not businessmen, and they are asking for purchases from the house. What is this? She did not directly say that she would sell it, and she would not sell it in her own home if she wanted to sell it.

She waved back the servant who came to report, and ordered Ginkgo to prepare a few more baskets, and she planned to send a basket to the people she knew to pay for something fresh.

Looking at the two boys who were still picking grapes in front of her, she said again, "Put your things away, hurry up and go to the academy for me, now I'm in a hurry."

The third child carried a bunch of them, and only took the tea and put it in his mouth to bite, "Mother, can we take a little to the academy and eat it in the afternoon?"

"Are you sure you can take it to the academy and stay until the afternoon?"

He scratched his head, "It doesn't seem to work!"

The academy is full of familiar tablemates. If people see it and want to taste it, you can't be so stingy, won't you?

If it is tasted by one person, it is not his turn to eat it. The key is that he has already predicted that after everyone has eaten it, they will definitely buy it from him.

Dad has already explained, how dare he agree so easily?

If you don't agree, you will definitely be annoyed to death.

"If you don't take it to the academy, we'll take a little and put it in the carriage and eat it on the way."

"Go and prepare the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books. I will order someone to clean it for you and bring it."

After sending the two brothers away, she instructed Ding Bo to send the grapes that were allotted to the families who were ripe with each other.

She kept the rest for now, and waited for Zhou Cheng to return from the East Palace to see if they wanted to pay tribute.

She waited left and right, and it wasn't until more than two hours later that she saw Zhou Cheng come back sweating profusely.

"How? What did Donggong say?"

"It's the emperor who thinks it's rare. I borrowed the words of the East Palace and let me chat in the palace. Since we know how to plant, we can do more in the coming year. Go ahead and send a basket to the palace every day. There are many. You can do it again."

"Is one basket enough? Will it be enough? There are so many masters in the palace."

Not enough points, right?

Zhou Cheng said indifferently, "Enough is enough. Rareness is the most precious thing. It's not a lot to send a basket every day. Let's keep some for ourselves."

There are only so many respectable people who are favored, not to mention that they are sent to the palace every day.

"Row."

She does what he says.

"I don't need to send it today, right?"

Zhou Cheng picked one and threw it into his mouth, "No need, if you have any leftovers, someone you know will send some, keep a little for yourself, and you can sell the rest in the shop. The basket that the palace wants, I will take it tomorrow. A guard will be sent over to carry it."

You can't give all the things you've worked so hard to give to the royal family, you can sell them how you want.

"By the way, a reward should be delivered in a while as compensation for the contribution."

Pei Xiu said with a smile: "Then we have earned it."

"The sage will not let his ministers suffer."

"Well, there are more than half a basket left at home. Let me send them to a cake shop. Five taels of silver per catty is not too much for a family of powerful people."

"You can figure it out, the capital aristocracy is not bad for money."

"A lot, that's it, taking advantage of this shareholder wind, our family can make a lot of money in the future."

"Well, I'm going to take a shower."

He rode back and forth under the sun and walked for a long time in the palace. He was sweating profusely and felt very uncomfortable.

"Then you rest for a while, I will order someone to prepare hot water." By the way, I ordered someone to carry the grapes to the cake shop.

As a result, Zhou Cheng hadn't finished taking a shower when the housekeeper came to report that the grapes were sold out, and half a basket was sold for more than 200 taels.

The servants didn't dare to stop at all, and they had to deliver it to the shop if they told him to.

As soon as they got off the car, a group of people gathered around, almost fighting. In the end, even the scattered ones were wrapped up, and not a single one was left.

Pei Xiu was slightly surprised, and smiled and let Ginkgo take it, "Xungui's news is very well-informed, just waiting for us to carry it out and sell it."

"Tomorrow's Zhuang sent it this morning, keep three catties, and carry the rest to the shop! Keep the basket that you want in the palace, and the general will send someone to carry it to the palace."

"Yes, ma'am."

In the next few days, there was a frenzy of eating grapes in the capital. As soon as the grapes were carried to the shop, they could be sold out in less than a quarter of an hour, and even the business with cakes became even more popular.

Some people who had never bought it started to line up at the door of the shop early in the morning, so that Pei Xiu could only limit purchases, and one person was limited to five kilograms.

Otherwise, the supply will be in short supply, and some noble households will buy ten jins ten jins at the beginning, and many people will not be able to buy them at all.

As soon as the grapes from Fanbang were sent to the palace, after a comparison, their grapes became more popular, bigger and sweeter than those from Fanbang.

During the Queen Mother Qianqiu Festival, she even showed her face.

But the grape season is short, only one month before and after, and it's out of season, but her wine has already been brewed, just wait a few months to see Kaifeng~ Taisun Fei is also over the Qianqiu Festival When it was decided, it was the granddaughter of Guozijian who sacrificed wine. She had a noble status and attracted literati in the court.

In addition to the concubine Taisun, and the position of the princess of the East Rong Kingdom, two Liang Di have been appointed, and they will join the East Palace after the filial piety period next year. make arrangements.

After the results came out, among the three candidates, there was no second lady from the Marquis of Xinwu Mansion at all. I heard that Marquis Xinwu was angry.

Originally thought that in the East Palace, there is always a place for their Liu surnamed girl, but in the end they were slapped in the face.

For this reason, Marquis Xinwu made a special trip to the palace, but was reprimanded by the queen.

These are actually street news, and Pei Xiu just heard about it.

This year's grape harvest has brought her a lot of profits, and her family is rich.
