Chapter 326: The Royal Feng Shui Treasure Land
The emperor ordered the chief **** to send the village chief and Li Laoer out, and finally sighed with the veterans, "If the people of Tianwu are like this, why worry that the rivers and mountains cannot be recovered, and why worry that Tianwu cannot prosper!"
"Your Majesty, please be patient. This day must be not far away." All the old ministers stood up and saluted.
Let’s not talk about the situation in the palace, but just talk about the Broken Gold Beach. As the village chief feared, melon buyers have blocked the intersection of the river beach.
Those who have made reservations before are still arriving one after another for fear of being overtaken.
Those who have not made reservations are also shouting, wanting to buy a few at a high price.
At this time, the village chief, Li Laoer and others rushed back in time.
Hearing that the emperor personally rewarded the archway of the Feng Shui treasure land and praised the melons at Broken Gold Beach as the sweetest, everyone went crazy.
“I will give you ten taels of silver each and sell me ten jasper melons.”
“I will pay you one hundred taels of silver and give me five jade melons.”
"Golden fruit, I want gold fruit, one tael of silver each."
Everyone in the village felt their hearts beating wildly and were very excited, but they still stopped the buyers and asked them to listen to the village's decision.
Li Laoer took out the book and asked people to move two tables to separate the guests with reservations and those without reservations.
Because the garden has just opened, the jade melons and golden fruits are not ripe enough, so each guest who made a reservation can only pay half.
Fortunately, in order to avoid reselling, it was stipulated that a scheduled customer could only buy ten jasper melons and fifty gold fruits, which solved today's dilemma.
After the scheduled guests have been sent away, we start to entertain individual guests.
Li Laoer did not raise the price because he was an individual customer, but he only sold two jasper melons and ten golden fruits per person.
In this way, it is basically guaranteed that guests who come from afar will not return empty-handed.
But in the melon fields, all the jasper melons and golden fruits that were over eighty ripe had also been picked.
Jiayin was afraid that the villagers would pick the melons because they were inexperienced, which would be a pity, so she took a bamboo hat and ran around in the fields for most of the day.
Finally, we managed to get all the guests away, and the villagers were so tired that their voices became hoarse.
Jiayin found out even more sadly that although she avoided getting tanned this time, her arms and calves turned into black knots...
That night, the old lady was taking a bath for her granddaughter, and she almost couldn't stand upright with laughter.
“I made you regret wearing shorts and shorts!”
Jiayin pouted her little mouth, feeling very depressed, but as soon as she left the ear room, she immediately became happy again.
Because the three brothers were also severely sunburned, their arms and legs were black and white, and they even had a black face.
The old lady couldn't help but laugh when she saw her granddaughter rolling around on the mat.
Perhaps they all coveted the good sales of the jade melons from Jintan, and Dahuaishu and Xiaowangzhuang also started selling melons.
Some customers who were frustrated at Suijintan thought that since several villages were so close together, the melons they could grow would be about the same, so they bought some and went back, but they were extremely disappointed.
It’s not that the melons grown in these three villages are unpalatable. They have the same green skin and red flesh, and are juicy when cut into pieces.
But when you taste it, the melons from the three villages are not as sweet as those from Suijintan, and they lack a lot of "melon flavor".
After hearing about it, Li Zheng from the three villages still didn’t want to believe it, so he took his own melons and ran to Broken Gold Beach to compare them.
Finally, the three Li Zheng were convinced. "Obviously they are so close and have the same melon vines, but the melons they produce are not all the same sweet."
The village chief uncle laughed and was extremely proud, "Our place is a treasure land of Feng Shui. The emperor even rewarded us with archways. Of course, everything we grow will be delicious."
Three Li Zheng couldn't do it, so we went back to discuss it and lowered the price to only one-third of the original price.
In this way, although the sales are not very popular, it is still smooth.
Other families who grew jade melons in various places naturally had to compare the prices, and in the end they also lowered their prices.
For a time, everyone inside and outside Xindu knew that Broken Gold Beach was a geomantic treasure land, and the melons and fruits grown there were the most delicious in the world.
Amid the commotion, half a month later, most of the melon garden in Suijintan was empty.
Only one acre of land is left, and the village chief and his people are guarding it day and night, eagerly looking forward to the return of the Marquis and others.
And the Li family is also busy with Zhang Luo Jiayin's birthday party. One of the big fat pigs in the pig pen must be killed. There is no shortage of vegetables at this time of the year. Buying two more sheep will be enough.
The women in the village had nothing to do, so they ran forward and helped the Li family with chores. They built awnings and temporary stoves in front of the door and in the yard.
Even the Ye family and Cui family next door were cleaned by them.
The day before her birthday, Mrs. Cui came over in a carriage early, and she also brought Liu Zhiheng's wife and two sons with her. She planned to spend a day playing in the valley and orchards, and then directly attend the birthday banquet tomorrow.
Since there were many people at home, the old lady said a few words to Mrs. Liu in the Cui family yard, and asked someone to bring two jade melons over, and then went to work.
Mrs. Cui is left to help take care of Jiayin, the birthday girl, and she must also entertain Mrs. Liu, mother and son.
The two boys from the Liu family were both eleven or twelve years old, and they were a little reserved at first, but they were pulled by Jia An Jiaxi, and they went running wildly in the orchard, fishing in the river, and bathing in the hot springs before it got dark. I became familiar with it and played like crazy with joy.
Mrs. Cui took Mrs. Liu and Jiayin to enjoy the flowers and soak in hot springs in the valley. When they returned home, Li Laosan's family, Jiaren and Brother Li also came back.
Jiayin was so happy that he took turns hugging his third uncle and his mother, and asked his brothers to carry him on his back. He was as happy as a puppy, running around wagging his tail.
In the past few days, the college has been taking baths all the time. Jiaren and Brother Li both came back from leave.
Li Laoer was worried and asked, "Will asking for leave delay my homework? Will your husband be annoyed?"
Jiaren smiled and replied: "Don't worry, dad. My husband happily gave me three days of leave and asked me to bring him some golden fruits when I go back."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, "Fortunately, we have left an acre of land at home for the Marquis and your fourth uncle to eat when they come back. Otherwise, you would have to go back empty-handed. Be careful, sir, to put on some small shoes for you!"
"That's not the case. Sir is very sensible, but he is a bit greedy. My classmates and friends, after hearing what I said, are also clamoring for the jade melon. There are also a few children in Brother Li's class who play well. My husband also takes good care of him. When I go back this time, my family may have to bring us a few more jade melons to make up for it."
Jiaren smiled while talking, his face was bright, and it was obvious that he was very comfortable studying in the college, like a fish in water.
Brother Li took Brother Cat's hand and nodded with a smile.
The family members were relieved when they saw this, so how could they feel sorry for those fruits?
Old Mrs. Li said: "When I tell the village chief, you can take as much jade melon as you want. You can be happy in the college! In another month, the fruits on the mountains will be sweet. I will give you more by then." ”
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, everyone was getting ready to have dinner.
At this time, hundreds of fast horses suddenly came running on the road on the side of the river beach.
