Chapter 529 There is no regret medicine in the world
Offering melons to the palace is a major event every year.
For the four places to **** the carriage, the boys in the village guessed for half an hour before deciding on the four winners.
For this matter, the four victors have raised their tails to the sky in the past few days, making the other losers' teeth itch, their fists rattling, and they wish they could be taught the rules of entering the palace first.
It's a pity that the village chief had already told him not to use his fists, otherwise he would be beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. When he walked out, he would be embarrassed by the whole village!
In the hot summer, even if the sun has just risen, the earth is so hot that your feet are burning.
The cicadas were all a bit listless, but the number of idlers in the teahouse continued unabated.
Humans are social animals, so they can eat and drink poorly, and wear simple clothes, but if they close their mouths and confine themselves for a few days, that is absolutely not allowed!
After all, I haven’t heard yet who the new husband the little widow at the end of the street is looking for is called, and what he does for a living!
A certain third-grade official married a concubine in the sixth house. I don’t know whether the mistress is suffering from a mental illness or a real illness.
Not to mention that there was a huge quarrel in the court over tax reduction and exemption, and these people had not even given a few words of advice or expressed their opinions.
In short, life can be tough, but you must eat it!
And just before three o'clock in the morning, the real melon also entered Beijing.
This cart is green and golden, and it is placed on the cart board. There are many melon vines decorated around it, which looks fresh.
In order for the emperor to eat immediately after being sent to the palace, there were two buckets of ice in the car, containing a jade melon and a dozen golden fruits.
When the sun shines, there is a faint chill. It looks cool no matter how you look at it, which makes people extremely enviable.
The street leading to the palace was originally the busiest, but because of this car, it suddenly became even busier!
At first, a little boy was sleepy. In order to wake up, he ran to the door to blow in the air.
As a result, when he saw the Li family's carriage and mule carriage from a distance, he became excited and shouted loudly, "Oh, Suijintan has come to the palace to offer melons!"
"What? Suijintan came to the palace to offer melons! Oh, the melon garden is open, you can go buy melons!" A guest sitting by the window heard the movement, turned around and shouted in surprise.
The guests in the teahouse rushed to the door, took a closer look, and became happy.
“What a piece of melon that breaks the golden beach!”
“The park is finally open, my eyes are really red with anticipation!”
“Hurry up and buy some, I’ve been waiting to give you gifts!”
“Don’t panic, wait for me.”
Everyone was talking and laughing and gearing up. They waited until this moment and wanted to rush to buy a few to take home.
In fact, ten days ago, jade melons and golden fruits were sold on the market.
But how can I put it, the taste is not that bad, but it is much different from the taste in memory.
The taste in my memory is the clear and sweet taste produced by Ruijintan.
Just do it if someone says it, and has already sent the servant chief to line up at Broken Gold Beach.
Those who did not have any entourage with them, or who were living a normal life at home, also hurried out of the city and went to line up in person.
Broken Gold Beach has been selling jade melons and golden fruits for two years, and everyone has figured out the way.
Whether it is the Li family of Broken Gold Beach or the common people of Xincun, they never look at the identity and background of the buyers, let alone sell jade melons and golden fruits in bulk.
They only sell on a per-person basis, and one person can buy up to two jade melons or ten golden fruits.
This amount is enough to give as a favor as a gift, or to feed the whole family a fresh meal. If you want to buy and sell, you can do it, but just a few in a day will never make anyone make a fortune.
By doing this, Suijintan naturally hopes that more people will eat the fruits they grow and enjoy the blessings of Suijintan’s feng shui treasure land.
Instead of letting those resellers in the middle drive up the price of melons, you can make a lot of money!
The village sent off the team that went to the palace to offer melons, and they had already made plans.
Nearly all men, women, and children came out to surround the melon fields, and no customers who came to buy were allowed to enter the melon fields at will.
Outside the melon field, there were two stalls, one selling jade melons and the other selling golden fruits.
The prices of jade melons and golden fruits are the same as in previous years, but this year extra wicker baskets will be given.
The basket was filled with hay to ensure that even if the jade melons and golden fruits were put in, they would not be damaged even if they were bumped or bumped.
Li Zheng from Dahuaishu Village, Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang also brought villagers over, and set up three stalls under the shade of trees not far away, selling jade melons and golden fruits from their own villages.
Everything in the world has always been about hard work and reward.
Especially in matters in the fields, there is no possibility of deception.
People in the new village carried water and watered the fields three times under the scorching sun, taking care of every melon vine.
Although this year's jasper melons are smaller, they are green and round in color; the golden fruits were originally golden, but now they are darker, with a little orange-red color.
Both kinds of melons look so good that people can’t help but salivate when they see them.
However, the jade melons and golden fruits in Dahuaishu Village, Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang vividly explain what crooked melons and cracked fruits are.
The shape of the jade melons are some long, some square, and some half-tilted. The golden ones are as big as a fist with a navel bulging.
Even without tasting it, everyone knows that it is definitely not satisfactory.
So, these three stalls must wait until the Xinchun side is sold out before they can open, and the prices must be reduced by half...
The scene in Dahuaishu Village is waving a pipe and pot, and he wants to knock the heads of the nearby villagers into the same hairstyle as Sakyamuni.
He really hates that iron cannot become steel, complaining and cursing: "I asked you to carry water to water the ground, and you are all lazy. Either you have a headache or a pain in the buttocks. The pole feels like burning your shoulders. You are not willing to carry water at all. I am an old man and almost You yelled until your throat was broken, and you just barely finished watering the ground!
“Last year you said that the new village was hiding something private, and the melon vines given to us were not good. This year you saw with your own eyes that the melon vines planted by others were the same as ours, but this was the result in autumn. Do you feel hurt?
"The folks in my new village are more diligent than you and are never lazy. Even if they plant dog shit, flowers will bloom. If you plant a gold ingot, it will turn into pig shit!"
Li Zheng from Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang also sighed.
Dawangzhuang Lizheng said: "If you don't work hard, how can good things grow in this land... It will be too late this year. Anyone who dares to be lazy next year will be kicked out of the village directly."
All the villagers were so scolded that they did not dare to refute a word.
At the Xincun side, silver coins were jingling and being thrown into money boxes, and there was a long queue in front of the stalls, but no one was paying attention to them here, and no one felt good.
Had they known this, they would have worked hard in the spring... Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world!
Mrs. Li had nothing to do at home, so she brought Shuiyun to deliver a large bucket of honey and passion fruit drink to Guadi, with ice cubes added of course.
The weather was hot, so Jiayin also taught Shuiyun how to make ice. This summer at home, there was no shortage of ice and it was very cool.
The villagers were sweating profusely, but all their faces were smiling.
They took a big pottery bowl, scooped up ice water and drank it all. One of the villagers quietly motioned to Mrs. Li to look at the money box, and said in a low voice: "Aunt Li, look, there is a lot of money!"
