Chapter 136 Wholesale
Zhou Ying shook her head, "That's not true, that is, even Miss Fu is the daughter of the county magistrate's family, and she is very easy-going, but I'm afraid that if I don't do something well, I will lose our family's face."

Moreover, she felt that the reason why Miss Fu came to the house was because of the koi. Maybe Miss Fu was polite to her and said that she wanted to be friends with her because of her sister's sake.

Su Jinli disagreed when she heard what her sister said, "Sister is very good, and Sister Fu is also very good. If you can be friends, you won't be ashamed or not, and I believe that Sister Fu will like her if she is good. So you don't have to worry about that."

Zhou Ying didn't believe it, "Really? Didn't Ms. Fu say to be friends with me because she likes you?"

Su Jinli nodded heavily, "Of course, Sister Fu and Sister are friends because Sister Fu is good."

Zhou Ying smiled shyly, apparently convinced by Su Jinli that she also has friends.

Seeing that Zhou Ying was happy, Su Jinli was also happy. Anyway, in her eyes, her sister was so good that no one could compare to her.

The Zhou family is back on the right track, and Zhou Zhoulang’s watermelons have also gained a reputation. Many bosses have come to the house, wanting to order watermelons to sell in their own shops, but they are all rejected by Zhou Zhoulang because there are not many watermelons, and he promises that next year if The watermelon is ripe. If you are willing to buy it, you must notify the bosses as soon as possible.

Although the bosses of the major shops felt a little regretful, they couldn't hold back Zhou Zhoulang's words, so they could only leave with regret.

Mr. Li at the pier also knew that Zhou's watermelons were selling very well, and even many merchant ship guests asked him about the origin of the watermelons.

Master Li always refused on the grounds that he was unclear, and said that if he found the source, he would help everyone connect.

The major merchant ships knew that this was Master Li's excuse, but they had no choice but to point at him after all.

On this day, after unloading the last batch of goods at the dock, Master Li came to Zhou's house. It was completely dark at this time, and Su Jinli and the others also had dinner.

Mrs. Yang is stewing meat in the kitchen, Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang are helping.

Su Jinli followed Old Man Zhou and moved a bench to cool off in the yard.

Zhou Xing found a wooden stick and practiced martial arts in the courtyard.

Zhou Ying sat quietly on the side.

When Master Li came, he knocked on the door of Zhou's courtyard.

Zhou Xing stopped his movements and looked at the courtyard gate suspiciously, "Who is it?"

Master Li answered loudly, "I, Li Zhong at the dock, have something to look for Zhou Zhoulang."

Zhou Xing went to open the door, and after leading people into the yard, he yelled in the direction of the stove house, "Third Uncle, someone is looking for you."

Zhou Zhoulang ran out and saw Master Li standing in his yard, "Master Li, it's so late, why are you here? Hurry up, sit inside."

Master Li nodded with Old Man Zhou, and followed Zhou Zhoulang into the house.

He was not polite, and said straight to the point, "Sanlang, I am here to ask you for something. During this time, many guests on the ship have been asking about your watermelons. I am here to ask if you can wholesale some of them to me. Don't worry." , I only sell to the guests on the boat, not under the boat.”

Zhou Zhoulang was a little embarrassed. After all, he had just rejected a group of shop owners. It would be dishonest if he wholesaled watermelons to Master Li at this time.

But Master Li helped him a lot, even when his sister-in-law was running a stall at the pier, and the shop at home was taken care of by Master Li, so it went so smoothly. If he refused, it would seem that he did not remember his kindness.

Zhou Zhoulang thought for a while and said, "It is reasonable to say that you have helped our family a lot, so I should agree to you directly, but there are not many watermelons grown at home, and it is only two thousand catties if you sell them. If you sell them, you probably won't be able to sell them for long .”

"How about this, I will give you a part of the watermelon, and you will sell it, and I will share the profit with you, what does Master Li think?"

Zhou Zhoulang said this because Master Li has helped the Zhou family a lot.Otherwise, their lo-mei shop is at the pier. If they want to sell watermelons, they can sell them directly to the guests on the boat, and there is no need for Mr. Li to connect them.

But one must not forget one's roots, Master Li has been helpful to them, the favors that should be repaid must be repaid, and the kindness that should be remembered must be remembered.

Master Li's face sank when he heard Zhou Zhoulang's words. It was not because Zhou Zhoulang refused to wholesale watermelons to him, but because Zhou Zhoulang's practice was no different from giving him money for nothing.

It's true that Master Li wants to make money, but he can't make money like this, "No, if you let me consign and sell it to the guests on the ship, let me share [-]% of the profit. I can't do this job, Sanlang, I understand what you mean, but my brother We have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that we are not brothers, how can I take advantage of it for nothing."

"Well, if you really want me to help you sell it, you can get ten copper coins for every watermelon you sell, which is my salary."

Zhou Zhou Lang said, "Wouldn't it be a waste of your help, no way."

Master Li looked at Zhou Zhoulang, "How can this be a waste of help? If I sell ten watermelons, I will have a hundred copper plates, and if I sell a hundred watermelons, I will have a thousand copper plates. There is no cost at all, pure profit, say It’s all at my advantage to come here.”

"Sanlang, if you agree, then do as I say. If you don't agree, even if I didn't mention this today, this matter will be changed."

Zhou Zhoulang saw that Master Li was about to leave, so he immediately stopped him, "Okay, just do as Master Li said, do you think you will come to fetch watermelons tomorrow morning or take them away now?"

Master Li said, "I came here on foot, or come tomorrow morning, you pick it up and wait for me to make it. I will only pull ten for the time being, and we will talk when they are sold out."

Zhou Zhoulang nodded and sent Master Li outside the door. Originally, he planned to send Master Li in a bullock cart, but Master Li refused.

Zhou Zhoulang watched Master Li disappear under the night sky.

Although the old man Zhou was in the yard and did not go into the house, but the Zhou family was so big, and Master Li did not lower his voice when speaking with Zhou Zhoulang, so he naturally heard what they said clearly.

When Zhou Zhoulang came back, the old man Zhou said, "This watermelon is not bad. I will rent some land next year and have more varieties."

Zhou Zhoulang originally had this idea, and when he heard the old man Zhou's words, he immediately said happily, "Father, you don't object to me planting watermelons?"

Old man Zhou gave Zhou Zhoulang a look, "When did I object to you growing watermelons?"

Zhou Zhoulang thought so too, his father didn't object at first, and even gave him a piece of land under his begging, and let him toss about it by himself.

Zhou Zhoulang laughed immediately, "Father, I didn't say that because I saw your most precious land in our family. Don't worry, I will work hard next year, and I promise to make more money than this year."

Old man Zhou snorted, he is precious, but he is not stupid, watermelon is so expensive, and people come to the house every day to ask, it is enough to show that it is a good thing.

And when he said planting, he didn't use the land where the family grew food to grow, but rented the land again, and it didn't hinder the harvest of food.

With this crop, Zhou Zhoulang settled down, and his watermelons were sold out quickly. After all, there were only two thousand catties, and there were merchants on board from other places, so naturally they sold out quickly.

In less than ten days, Zhou Zhoulang's watermelons earned 200 taels for the family. When Zhou's family saw this figure, they were stunned.
