Chapter 30 Missing a Man

After sheathing the car and putting the receipt into the space, she touched the horse's head and gave it an apple.

The horse raised its head happily at her, Qiao Mai smiled and made a promise to it.

"Don't worry, you will be very happy if you follow me. I promise not to kill, stew, or eat you. I will treat you kindly for the rest of my life. When you are old, I won't let you do hard work, and I will take care of you until the end of your life."

She drove the carriage to a place where there were few people, got into the carriage, and spread out the baskets she had bought one by one.

The basket is not big, at most it can hold two watermelons.

She put two watermelons in a basket, and picked them in the freezer.

I took ten apples and ten pears. They are not small in size. Twenty of them add up to more than ten catties.

Take out a few bunches of grapes and put them inside, and they also weigh ten catties.

Ten catties of golden oranges were also put in. That’s four things. It’s almost done. Just as I was about to exit the space, I saw that the strawberries in the strawberry field were ripe.

I picked about ten catties of strawberries with my mind again. It seems that there are only these kinds of fruits in the north?

There are peaches in the space, isn’t it too early to take them out?

Seeing the fruits in the basket, she sighed, she had taken out so many, and these peaches were not bad.

So I took another ten catties of peaches, a total of six baskets of fruit, which were much more than the two boxes of strawberries yesterday, and the price was not suitable, so I left immediately.

Qiao Mai drove the carriage to the gate of the palace. At this time, Miss Wang and her younger brother were waiting at the gate.

She immediately saw a woman in the courtyard looking up, it was the old woman Xiao from yesterday.

Looking away, she greeted Miss Wang in the car.

"I won't get out of the car, why don't you get in the car and have a look? If not, I'll leave. It's too eye-catching to see."

Wang Jiaru asked someone to carry a bench, stepped on the carriage, and when he entered the carriage, he was immediately elated.

"satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied."

"How much silver?"

"Let me tell you a price. It's not easy to get these fruits."

"Except for watermelon, how about a basket of fruit giving you fifty taels of silver?"

Qiao Mai thought for a while, "Sure, if I don't want the watermelon, I'll take it home and sell it myself."

"Watermelons are also needed. Two watermelons will give you ten taels of silver, a total of two hundred and sixty taels, is that okay?"

"make a deal!"

Ms. Wang immediately took out the silver bill from her cuff, counted it and handed it to her.

"A bank note is ten taels, a total of twenty-six, you count."

Qiao Mai took over and counted, then nodded.

"Let your servants unload the car, I have to go out of the city to find melon farmers to buy some watermelons."

"When is the next time?"

"These can be eaten for a while. July is the rainy season. I'm afraid it won't come. It's going to be August."

"Can we go over and find you?"

"What do you want me to do? I set up a stall in a small town and only sell watermelons,"

"Then come and show in the city, my royal family will cover you."

"No, there are relatives and friends over there."

Wang Jiaru ordered the fruit on the cart to be quickly moved into the palace. Seeing this, Wang Zihan stopped being with his sister and followed the basket into the palace.

After clearing the money and goods, Qiao Mai drove the carriage and left.

Miss Wang stood at the door and looked at her back thoughtfully.

If the world regards her as an ordinary woman, it is a big mistake. If she can get fruits that others can't get, this person must be clumsy. This friend is hers, Wang Jiaru.

Qiao Mai was driving the carriage back. On the road, he ran into the man who was dragging his feet when he came. He drove the carriage to Fucheng, and happened to meet him.

"Yo, my lady bought a carriage?"

"Well, I bought it when I found the right one."

"Will you be a colleague in the future?"

"Don't pull the legs, I use this car to pull the goods myself."

"Oh, if pulling a truck in the future is not humming enough, I often pull my feet on this road. Although my home is not in Tianshui Town, my home is in a surrounding village. I will wait for work in Tianshui Town in the morning."

"Okay, I will definitely find you when I need it in the future."

It is said that colleagues are enemies, but the coachman is very good at talking. As long as people like this are diligent, they will not starve to death.

When she was about to get home, she put the watermelon and ice in the space into the car, and then stopped at the gate of Xiuzhuang.

When shopkeeper Lu saw her, he felt relieved.

"Sister, why did you even buy a carriage when you went out?"

She stayed in the car, "I often go to Fucheng, and I have to buy goods. It's not convenient to use other people's cars. I bought one when I saw a good one."

"That's great, it will be much more convenient for me to use the car in the future."

"Sister, I'll put the melon and ice in the car home first, let's talk tomorrow."

"Come on, I'll follow you there and help move it down."

"No need, a melon, I will move it myself."

Lu Sanniang couldn't do it, so she asked the two maids to look after the shop, and brought her two daughters to follow the carriage to help.

Four people put a cart full of watermelons and ice in the west wing room, shopkeeper Lu asked a little worried.

"Is this ice going to melt?"

"No, the wooden box is wrapped with a thick quilt, so it can be stored for several days."

"Are you really willing to wrap it with a new quilt?"

"Isn't it just for making money? If you don't use it to pack ice, it will melt, and the quilt won't be broken. Just put it in the sun when the weather is good."

Qiao Mai hugged a watermelon, locked the door, and went to the kitchen to cut it.

Ru Xin and Ru Yi hurriedly set up the floor table in the courtyard, Qiao Mai cut up the watermelon and put it on the table, the four of them sat around the table and ate the watermelon.

"How much is this watermelon sold?"

"One of five hundred words"

"If it's this price, it's quite appropriate to sell it at that price. You can earn two to three hundred cash for a melon, and thirty taels of silver for a melon with ice in a month, right?"

"Thanks to my sister, I don't have to pay taxes, and no one comes to make trouble. It's more than this."

"It's been exposed to the wind and the sun. After a long time, it has become whiter and fatter. It seems to be thinner again?"

"No, people can't sit all the time, that way the bones of the body will be bad. Proper movement is good for the body."

Lu Sanniang took a big bite of the watermelon, "Your maid's body, this maid's life, can't you pamper yourself?"

"How about this watermelon?"

Changing the topic, Qiao Mai asked.

"Delicious, better than what was sold before."

"I went directly to the melon field to buy it this time, and it was very fresh. In the future, I will be able to sell whole melons. I don't need to find wholesalers anymore, and buy them directly from the melon farmers."

"That's a good relationship."

The four of them ate the whole watermelon, and they all scratched their stomachs and shouted.

Qiao Mai took a break, went back to the room and took out two palace fans from the space, replaced them with the wooden frame here, put them in a box, and handed them to shopkeeper Lu.

"This is what I embroidered recently,"

"Yo, you work really fast, don't you delay selling melons?"

"I didn't ask you to say it yet."

"Embroider at night when I get home, right? It hurts my eyes, I'm not in a hurry here."

"Anyway, I can't fall asleep so early."

"The main thing is to be alone. If there is one more person beside me, I will fall asleep. I am short of a man."

"Go, go, don't make such jokes."

Shopkeeper Lu opened the box and admired it with the two daughters, "Tsk tsk, your craftsmanship is better. Look at this painting, the embroidery looks real."

"As long as you are satisfied"

"Success, I will put it in the shop later, they will be happy when they come."

Qiao Mai breathed out, and the mother and daughter immediately stood up with interest.

"You have a good rest, we're going back first, tomorrow I'll ask the girl to set up a stall for you, shall I?"

"Can!"

The three of them left, but Qiao Mai didn't feel tired. After entering the space, she started to get busy.

Find a notebook and record the things brought from the previous life, one by one.

All the guns hanging on the wall were put away, leaving only a silent pistol and a box of ammunition.

The Ferrari was sealed by her with wood and used as a table, on which were placed a lot of things that were not often used.

She made use of the roof again. The house in the space has a flat roof, which can hold several goods. The light shelves are placed on the roof, which saves a quarter of the land.
