I was the richest man in ancient times

Chapter 522
After Boss He had eaten the set meal, Shan Shui and Cheng Wu took him to the village.

Along the way, he praised Cheng Wen's craftsmanship, saying that he would come over often for dinner in the future.

After he arrived in Guadai, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

One mouthful, one obedient, why is he so big!

Not to mention Boss He's surprise, on Cheng Yue's side, after the people left, they got a sign with the price of watermelon written on it.

He also asked Dahua to go to the county government office to find Cheng Jinxing and Mingzhu. They were too busy at meal time, so they asked the two young ones to sell watermelons at the door.

Not to mention, the combination of handsome men and beautiful women may make people buy more!

Shanshui pulled more melons, more than what Cheng Yue and the others pulled this morning.

Cheng Jinxing and Mingzhu Xiaya rushed over, and the people who were waiting to buy melons couldn't wait.

The big households in the city send housekeepers and women to buy them by a few. The richer families also buy one or two. They don’t buy a piece or weigh it. They sell it before dinner. It's over.

A total of 120 seven melons were sold, totaling 50 taels and eight hundred wen.

It was picked from the Shanshui field, and Cheng Yue asked Cheng Jinxing to hold it and hand it over to Shanshui later.

Shanshui planted [-] mu of melons, the same amount as the Cheng family, and [-] mu of grapes and fruit trees, all saplings Cheng Wu found.

The grapes have grown up, but they are still a little sour. Cheng Yue doesn't plan to let Shanshui sell them, but sell them directly to her and Huang Shaolan to make wine.

As for the fruit trees, Cheng Yue didn't water them, so they were still growing normally.

After the passenger ship docked for dinner, the watermelons were sold out. I learned that Cheng Yue had watermelons for sale here, and I wanted all of them. I went to discuss with the steward of the passenger ship and asked them to buy melons before leaving. Anyway, they also asked Yes, Boss Cheng's house is not far from here.

So, Cheng Jinxing and Mingzhu drove the carriage back to the village to pull Gua.

After tidying up the tavern and going home, it was already Xu time, and the Cheng family was waiting for Cheng Yue and Cheng Wen to have dinner.

At the dinner table, Cheng Shun kept laughing and talking about melons, and Cheng Yue felt that her father's eye circles were full of big watermelons.

Shan Shui and Cheng Wu negotiated with Boss He that they would first sell [-] mu of melons to him, and the remaining [-] mu of melons would be sold in Taoyuan County.

The others waited for Boss He to ship them all out this trip, and they were almost familiar with them, so they came little by little.

Boss He has two cargo ships, and he plans to use them all to transport watermelons.

A melon is about ten catties, and one mu of land is about four hundred, which is four thousand catties, and fifty mu has 20 catties.

This transportation is a big project, Boss He has sent people back to Fucheng overnight to gather the manpower on board.

His boat is enough to pull so many melons.

He planned to go to the south of the Yangtze River in one boat, and transport the other boat from Yanjiang to Yizhou, and then transport it overland from Yizhou to the capital. He has a big business in Yizhou, so it is not troublesome to divert there.

He didn't have so much money in his hand, so he paid half of the 5 taels to the Cheng family first, and the remaining half was paid in half a month, and he had already earned it by then.

The Cheng family was not afraid that he would not give it, after all, Ji Mingxuan was the witness.

The only worry is that something went wrong during the transportation.

Based on Boss He's experience and Ji Mingxuan's letter, don't worry about man-made troubles, but worry about natural disasters.

With the 5 taels already in hand, Cheng Yue and the others are much more at ease than Boss He.
