I was the richest man in ancient times

Chapter 519
Originally, Cheng Yue thought about the price of watermelon last month, but because the tavern opened, Cheng Shun died, and she was too busy, so she forgot.

After the brothers and sisters went out, the two yamen servants who helped them told them that someone was asking the price, and they stood outside and refused to leave.

Cheng Yue hurried out.

"Oh, little boss, you are here, waiting for you! How do you sell this watermelon? Our ship is about to sail, so hurry up and tell me the number."

"Yes, yes! At this time last year, there was no watermelon for sale in Fucheng! My wife and children like it, so I just took it home!"

"Little boss, tell me the number!"

"..."

When everyone saw Cheng Yue coming out, they chattered non-stop.

Those who often come to eat now call the big boss Cheng Wen and the young boss Cheng Yue, knowing that they are brother and sister.

"Everyone be quiet! Listen to me!"

Cheng Yue slightly amplified the volume to calm everyone down.

"This melon is grown at home, and our family just ate it yesterday. Moreover, it is the first time to grow melons, and I don't know how much it will sell for. So, let everyone taste it first, and it may not start until evening. Sell."

Cheng Yue said.

"Little boss, why don't you sell them to me for a tael of silver! Our ship is about to sail."

"That's right, one tael of silver each, and Fucheng usually sells it like this, and it's so rare that you may not even be able to buy one tael of silver."

"I'll buy two, little boss, take them out quickly! Otherwise, we'll really miss the boat!"

"..."

The person who bought it made his own bid.

Cheng Yue had no choice but to sell it. This batch of people were all catching passenger boats. Some of them would come to their tavern for a meal every few days, and some of them were for the first time.

Just this time, 45 were sold, and there are only two left.

Cheng Yue gave it to the yamen servants who helped, but the yamen servants didn't dare to take it, it was worth one or two taels of silver each, which was more than half a month's wages for them.

Still being scolded by Cheng Wu, the two happily went back with the watermelon in their arms.

The two hundred set meals were sold out and before Boss He came over, Shanshui drove over with another cart of watermelons.

"I knew that the customers who had lunch at noon would definitely buy some to go. So, after discussing with Shunbo, I brought them here."

Shanshui said so.

"Second brother, is Boss He reliable?"

Cheng Yue is a little impatient now, and many people from Taoyuan County come to eat at noon, and they are all asking about the price of watermelon.

"Fuzi came back in the morning, and said that Boss He promised to go out early this morning."

Cheng Wu frowned.

"Let's see it this way. Let's set a price first, the price we sell in Taoyuan County. Boss He buys it from us at the same price. As for how much money he sells to other places, that's his business. What do you think? ?”

Shanshui understood the situation, thought for a while, and said.

"Okay! But how much do we charge?"

Cheng Yue asked again.

Obviously, Cheng Wu was also undecided.

Cheng Yue's indecision is mainly due to her later life experience.

In modern times, watermelons are not expensive to sell, and there are many producing areas. In summer, they are sold in various places.

Scarcity is the most precious thing. In Daqi, people who grow watermelons in large quantities, but for their old Cheng's family, they sell them cheap, and she feels that they are at a disadvantage.

But if it was going to be expensive, she couldn't help it all at once, so it was better to listen to the opinions of the local residents.
