lady, please calm down

Chapter 50 Watermelon Rhapsody

In the morning, the accountant of the caravan tasted the watermelon and was full of praise.

When you leave, you must buy two.

After entering the city at noon, a group of clerks Ding Zhuang handed over their errands, and they booed and asked the accountant to cut one and taste it.

It doesn't matter if you eat this, the guys who have just entered the city come out of the city in groups of three or four and come to Luliuxu.

In just one noon, the news that Luliuyu in the south of the city produced a kind of sweet water melon with thin skin and flesh spread like wildfire.

Ximen Gong got the news and rushed over directly.

After waiting for a while at the melon stall under the locust tree, he saw a few figures walking out of the village from a distance.

The one walking in the front, tall and tall, wearing coarse cloth and short brown, looks like an ordinary peasant boy from a distance.

But there was a girl walking and bouncing beside her, wearing a crimson gauze dress, six red skirts, gold and silver in her hair bun, and when she spoke, she would tilt her face to the side and look at the boy with a small grin non-stop.

With the identities represented by the two people's clothes, their demeanors are very inconsistent with each other.

But both of them feel that it should be taken for granted.

Sitting under the tree, Ximen Gong couldn't help sighing, the Cai family is really willing to spend money!
Regarding Yunong's identity, Ximen Gong knew it without any effort.

Chen Chu naturally also saw Ximen Gong under the tree.

"Ximen Yasi, please stay safe." Chen Chu cupped his hands and smiled from afar.

Seeing Chen Chu meeting the guests, Yunong on the side hurriedly slowed down, followed behind by half a step, folded his hands in front of his lower abdomen, and lowered his head.

A chatterbox becomes a lady in seconds.
Here, Ximen Gong also replied with a smile: "Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've lost a lot. Although Ruan Ruanxiang is good, you should take care of your body, hahaha."

Chen Chu also followed suit with a laugh, "What brother said is that from now on, I will stop drinking and getting rich."

"Wine and wealth? Everyone says that wine, sex and wealth are four walls, why did you miss one 'sex'?" Ximen Gong asked strangely.

"Because I really can't quit. The wall of sex, brothers are willing to hit their heads and bleed, haha"

"Hahaha brother is really a wonderful person."

As soon as they met, Ximen Gong made a joke of "cherishing the body" as an elder brother. Chen Chu then revealed his "lusty" shortcomings. The two talked and laughed like brothers who had known each other for many years.

Yunong, who was standing behind Chen Chu's side, pouted and said in his heart: "Young Master, what you said is nice, you won't bump into this wall of Nunu wherever you put it!"

Sitting on the stone pier, Chen Chu took a look around.

Not far behind Ximen Gong stood two companions, leading a red-maned horse.

So Chen Chu turned around and said, "Da Lang, pick a few good melons and cut them up, let Brother Ximen and these two elder brothers taste them."

Then he said to Yunong beside him: "Go and play too, don't worry about it here."

"Oh~" Yunong bent down, bowed to Chen Chu and Ximen Gong respectively, and took a few steps back before turning around.

Ximen Gong smiled at Chen Chu, and said: "The girls trained by Caiwei Pavilion are not bad, and the etiquette of everyone's ladies is nothing more than this. My brother just took in a room last year, so Miss Bi Yunong is better than her." No, but brother, if you are interested, I will send it to Zhuangzi another day."

There is no wave in these words, giving someone away is like giving away a kitten and puppy
There has always been a habit of exchanging and giving concubines and maids among the scholar-bureaucrats in the Zhou Dynasty. Over time, this trend has also spread to the subordinate staff.

Chen Chu looked at Ximen Gong's rough face, but he couldn't feel any interest in being a fellow man.

He knew that Ximen Gong came here most likely because of watermelon, and this concubine might be the sweetness that Ximen Gong threw.

After all, Chen Chu himself admitted that he was lustful.

"Hehe, is brother passing by today?" Chen Chu didn't mention watermelon or concubine, and directly changed the subject.

Ximen respectfully dusted off the official uniform, pointed to the red-maned horse behind him, and said with a smile: "I came here specifically to find my brother, so I rode a horse."

"Oh? Why are you so urgent?" Chen Chu asked in surprise.

Ximen Gong shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be sloppy with your brother. Tell me, how do you sell this watermelon, and how much can you sell it to me?"

While talking, Wu Kui delivered the cut watermelon on a wooden tray.

"Brother, why don't you try it first?"

"You don't need to taste it, I have eaten it in the city just now."

"Oh?"

"The caravan that bought melons here in the morning belongs to someone"

"Oh"

No wonder Ximen Gong got news so quickly!
In fact, it's not his fault that he was in a hurry. In the past month, that Zhuyan fruit has made him a lot of money.

Even the batch of fruits sent out a few days ago, after being transported to Huaishuinan, the Belief Army increased the price by another [-]% on the basis of the double price.

Even though smuggling is a profitable business, Ximen Gong has never seen such huge profits.

However, the biggest disadvantage of fruits and vegetables is 'in season'.

The harvest of Zhuyan fruit has entered the last season.

In other words, there will be no stock to sell immediately.

Therefore, it becomes critical to find another substitute commodity.

And there just happened to be watermelons here.

In order to avoid being taken over by the Cai family, Ximen Gong naturally had to rush over as soon as possible.

But what are you afraid of more and more?

A horse-drawn carriage drove up far from the north, it seemed to be in a hurry, and it brought up a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Brother, how much of this melon can I share?" Ximen Gong no longer talked about the price, but only asked how much he could get.

Unexpectedly, Chen Chu said, "I plan to sell the melons myself this time."

"."

Without waiting for Ximen Gong to speak, Chen Chu continued: "Brother, you have hired someone to clear two acres of land, and I will give you seeds and teach you how to grow melons."

Ximen Gong was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and he couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Brother, aren't you joking with brother?"

Chen Chu looked determined, Ximen Gong couldn't help but grabbed Chen Chu's hand, "Brother, you are serious!"

"Of course it's true. However, it's too hot right now, and the melon seedlings won't grow well in the early stage, which will affect the yield. You should first arrange people to learn how to plant them, and then expand the scale of planting after spring next year.

When watermelons are on the market next year, let's hold a watermelon festival together, attracting vendors of all sizes from surrounding prefectures and counties, and have a good time!A single tree does not make a forest, and my Zhuangzi alone cannot support such a big scene. "

"Brother, what a big plan, what a big heart! I can feel my heart shaking just by listening to it!"

What exactly is the Watermelon Festival, Ximen Gong doesn't know, but Chen Chu gave him seeds and taught him how to grow melons is definitely a real benefit.

It's not that Ximen Gong didn't think about it, so he specially asked the old farmer to try picking the seeds of Zhuyan fruit.

It just didn't work out.

Every time you wash it anyway, the seeds will always go bad and moldy.

In fact, they just lost a process of natural fermentation of seeds, and the method is very simple.But just like writing on a peach, they don't know how long they will have to grope until this layer of window paper is opened.

However, the watermelon, which is extremely easy to seed and grow seedlings, is different. The melon seeds spit out from the top and pulled out from the bottom become a melon seedling on the ground.

Therefore, Chen Chu didn't intend to hide the watermelon from the very beginning.

It's better to sell favors.

Furthermore, watermelon is also a crop with relatively high value for deep processing.

Watermelon frost, watermelon sauce, and even watermelon soft and hard candies can all be processed under existing conditions.

Chen Chu's fields are so few, and they have to use them for other crops.

If the watermelon is handed over to someone else to grow, he just buys it for processing, and occupying the upper reaches of the high-value industrial chain is the best option.

The Watermelon Festival is not used to fool Ximen Gong.

If a similar exhibition can be held, it will be of great help to Chen Chu in promoting other products.

Chen Chu is currently very satisfied, and Ximen Gong is also very satisfied.

Before leaving, he left the red-maned horse to Chen Chu.

Cai Hua, who passed by Ximen Gong, stood in front of Chen Chu and frowned, "What did you promise him? How happy he is?"

"Is the third lady questioning me?" Chen Chu laughed.

"Oh, how dare I, my family?" Cai Wei, who changed her face eight hundred times a day, somehow changed her melon-seeded face, which was slightly dissatisfied, into a charming smile.

Chen Chu couldn't see the details of the expression change without blinking.

This is really a 'face essence'!
Cai Wei took a step forward with a smile, getting closer to Chen Chu, so close that she could smell the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus on her body.

"Hey, what kind of powder does San Niangzi use? It smells so good." Chen Chu lowered his head and moved closer.

"Tsk~" Cai Hua frowned and clicked his tongue, and nudged Chen Chu slightly with annoyance and strangeness, and the two of them looked like they had been lovers for many years, "I'm telling you something serious, what did you say to Ximen Yasi?"

"Oh, what's the matter. I'll go to his village tomorrow and teach him how to grow watermelons."

The charming smile on Guazi's face faded again, Cai Wei squinted her eyes, and said word by word: "Mr. Chen, my family treats you well, right? First let Yu Nong serve you, and then share half of the harvest with your Lu Lu Liuwei, are you going to repay my family like this?"

She came, of course, for the watermelon.

Unexpectedly, Chen Chu wanted to teach Ximen Gong how to grow melons, not the Cai family.

In fact, Cai San also arranged for people to try to take the seeds of Zhuyanguo, but they also failed, and the problems encountered by Ximen Gong were the same.

Therefore, she subconsciously thought that if Chen Chu didn't teach him how to do it, his family would not be able to grow watermelons.

Chen Chu wanted her to think so, so he said, "It's not that I can't teach you if I teach him."

"." Cai Wei didn't expect that Chen Chu was planning to sell two melons with one melon, but this was also a good result, but before she could switch back to smiling, Chen Chu wondered again: "However, Brother Ximen is sorry, If you insist on giving me a horse, if your family doesn’t give something, the neighbors will say that your family is stingy. In order not to let your family bear the stigma, I’ll reluctantly accept something. San Niangzi, what do you think I’ll accept? OK?"

Pinch grandma's leg.

Cai Hua's plump chest rose and fell rapidly, and it took a while to calm down.

"Master Chen, tell me, what do you want?"

"Uncle Cai, please arrange an errand for me in the county government office."

"County office? An errand?" Cai Wei really didn't expect Chen Chu to put forward this condition, and she couldn't help but ponder for a while before saying, "I need to go home to discuss this matter with my father, and the county office is not run by my family."

"Well, yes, but hurry up. These few days are the last window period for planting melons. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next year. By the way, arrange that kind of errand that doesn't require work." Chen Chu reminded with a smile.

The two settled, and Cai Wei glanced at Yunong in the distance. The silly girl was squatting on the ground, fascinated by what she was looking at, motionless.
Then he smiled and said: "Just now, I thought Mr. Chen would take this opportunity to ask for Yunong's life contract."

"If I ask for it, will you give it?" Chen Chu also smiled.

"Of course not."

"Yeah." Chen Chu nodded in agreement, and said, "You still have to put a long line to catch big fish. Now that Yunong's fishing line is broken, San Niangzi will think it's not worth it."

"." Cai Wei looked at Chen Chu in astonishment with her rosy cherry mouth open, and suddenly laughed "cheeky" after a long time, "Mr. Chen, it's meaningless to say that. Isn't it great that we get along now? ? You earn yours, my family earns my family’s, and Yunong stays with you all day long, and you don’t need a penny.”

Said, Cai Hua took Chen Chu's arm, raised her brows, "Sister, mustn't you mean enough to you."

"Hey, San Niangzi's teasing, why does Sajia feel her heart beat faster?"

"Hey, why don't you make an appointment with Yehu in the east of the city tonight?"

"Hey, I've been a dog once, let's forget it."

"Don't tell me that I haven't remembered that I was scolded by you last time for nothing!"

"Hiss~ What are you pinching me for! Talk about it, talk about it, don't make a fuss!"

Behind the melon stand.

Yang Zhen, Wu Kui, the eldest son and others looked at Chen Chu with idiot faces.

"God, when did brother Chu have an affair with the third lady of the Cai family again!"

"Brother Kui, Brother Chu and Miss San have no sex. I can see clearly that Cai San is pinching Brother Chu! Brother Chu is also true, Bai Changye is so tall that he can't even beat a woman !"

"Eldest son, you know what an egg! Hitting is kissing and scolding is love!"

"Hey"

"Dalang, why are you sighing?"

"Drought to death, waterlogged to death, I feel bad."

Under the old locust tree.

Yunong squatted on the ground, holding a piece of watermelon with his right hand, resting his left hand on his knee, staring at the ant nest on the ground with his big eyes without blinking.

Just now, when she was eating melon, she accidentally dropped a piece on the ground.

After a while, two ants came
Only two little ants can't move it, so one of them went back to call people. Well, it went back to call ants.

The above are all the results of Yunong's observation for half a day.

Just this silly girl, half an hour ago, she was still thinking about how to seduce a man
After Cai San left, Chen Chu walked over slowly.

"Bao'er. Is this interesting?" Chen Chu asked with a question mark face.

Yunong, who had been still for a long time, heard the sound and raised his head. Seeing that it was Chen Chu, he quickly pointed to the piece of watermelon on the ground and said, "My lord, look, there is a little ant going to rescue soldiers!"

Chen Chu supported his forehead speechlessly, "Let's go, let's go back and compose libretto."

"My lord, let's wait a while longer." Yunong raised her oval face and refused to get up.

Chen Chu is the most gentle towards girls.

So, kicked the piece of watermelon on the ground
"."

When the watermelon is gone, the scene where the ants carry the watermelon is also gone.

"If you don't leave, I'll kick the ant nest!" Chen Chu threatened viciously.

In order to protect the little ants from unreasonable disasters, Yunong pouted and stood up.

"gone!"

Chen Chu led the horse with one hand and Yunong with the other, and walked towards the village.

"Ah, son, is this horse yours?" Seeing Ma Siqian, Yunong immediately forgot about the ants.

"Ah."

"Where did it come from?"

"Given by Simon the chief."

"Why did Ximen Yasi give you a horse?"

"You should ask him."

"But Nunu and Simon Abs are not familiar with each other."

"Yunong, is your mouth tired?"

"Not tired, why do you ask me?"

"Yunong, let's play a game. No one speaks for one minute."

"Oh son, what is 1 minute?"

"1 minute is 60 seconds."

"What is 60 seconds?"

"..., Yunong, from now on you are only allowed to ask the last question! Be sure to think clearly before asking."

"Oh son, just now that little ant went back to call for reinforcements, but found that the watermelon was gone, will he be punished by the ant king?"

"The king of ants? That's called the queen of ants!"

"Oh, will the little ants be punished by the queen?"

"It's supposed to be, but speaking of it, it's a lie about military intelligence."

"Young master, what will happen if the little ant lies about the military situation?"

"It will reduce Ant's credit."

"My lord, is it really an ant credit?"

"Ant credit is Papa Ma. Hey! Didn't we agree, the last question!!!"

"Oh"
