Chapter 240 Plan
"Shopkeeper Qi is absurd, there is no trick, it's just a coincidence." Compass waved his hands again and again.
It turned out that the reason why shopkeeper Qi came so coincidentally was that Luo Pan did it on purpose.
Not long after Boss Zhou left, people from Fumanlou came to pick up the crayfish. While salvaging them, Compass deliberately revealed the news that someone came to see the watermelon at noon, which led to the scene just now.
Hearing this, shopkeeper Qi took a deep look, and didn't care about it any more, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, and the money was all paid, so it wouldn't hurt the peace because of such a trivial matter.
"Little friend Luopan, how to store this watermelon, how long it can be stored, and how to eat it, please tell me in detail." Shopkeeper Qi said.
"No problem." Compass nodded, then turned to look at Fat Miao'er.
The compass of knowledge in these aspects is also half-knowledgeable, and he did it according to Fat Miao'er's command.
"Shopkeeper Qi, there are a lot of details. Let's go to the study and talk about it. Take notes and write them down, so as not to miss anything." Fat Miao'er suggested.
"Okay, you're still thoughtful." Shopkeeper Qi praised.
Then the three of them came to the study room, Fat Miao'er dictated, the shopkeeper Qi was in charge of recording, and the compass helped grind the ink.
"Watermelon should be handled with care, not bumped, and stored in a cool place, preferably in a tank, and it tastes better after being soaked in cold water..."
After a while, Fat Miaoer recounted what he learned from the encyclopedia.
After the shopkeeper Qi finished recording, he dried the ink, folded it and put it in his arms.
"Little friend Luopan, you pick three ripe watermelons first and I'll take them back. I'll ask the guy to come and pick up the others tomorrow." Shopkeeper Qi said.
"No problem, I'll pick it out for you right away." Compass nodded in response.
After a while, three large ripe watermelons appeared on the carriage. Compass also lent the shopkeeper Qi the tattered quilt at home, and wrapped it around the watermelons to avoid bumps and bumps on the road.
"Shopkeeper Qi, there will be a date later." Compass bowed and saluted.
"Friend Compass, goodbye." Shopkeeper Qi cupped his hands, turned around and got on the carriage.
After the carriage disappeared from sight, Compass could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and said excitedly: "Fat Miao'er, Ye'er, two taels of silver each! Two taels of silver each!"
"Third brother, don't get excited, let's talk about it when we go back to the house." Liu Ye'er looked around and reminded.
Although the villagers of Dashi are simple and honest, and thefts rarely occur (except for stealing from their own homes), it would be bad if any villain knew the letter and came to destroy it.
As the saying goes, it is necessary to guard against others!
As soon as the words fell, Compass immediately reacted, quickly covered his mouth, and scanned the surroundings with his small eyes. After seeing no one, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, let's go into the house, let's go into the house." Compass walked quickly towards the courtyard.
……
Wang's study.
"Old Qi, you did a very good job in this matter. I will credit you with credit, and the bonus at the end of the year will be more." Wang Sanye leaned on the chair, and there was a maid fan behind him.
"Thank you, Third Master. I really don't dare to be a subordinate. It's good that the Third Master doesn't think I'm paying too much." Shopkeeper Qi bowed his head and saluted.
Although he said so on his mouth, the expression on his face was very happy.
After shopkeeper Qi left Dashi Village, he came to Wang's house non-stop, and dedicated the watermelon and the recording paper to Mr. Wang.
According to the instructions, Third Master Wang immediately ordered the servant girl to put it in a barrel and calm it down.
Of course, as a big family, the Wang family will not change the cold water over and over again like Fat Miaoer and the others, but use the ice stored in the house in winter, and the speed is relatively much faster.
After the town was completed, all the masters, wives, and young ladies of the Wang family tasted it, and they were all full of praise.
Mrs. Wang even ate three yuan in one go, praising that this Bang watermelon is really a good thing to relieve the heat.
"Third Master, how much do we sell this watermelon?" Shopkeeper Qi put away his expression, raised his head and asked.
"Not for sale!" Third Master Wang waved his hand and said firmly.
"Not for sale?" Shopkeeper Qi was startled, thinking he heard it wrong, he repeated it again.
"Yes, not for sale!" Third Master Wang nodded.
Seeing Shopkeeper Qi's surprised expression, Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Old Qi, don't just think about making money, some things are more important than money."
"Please tell the third master." Shopkeeper Qi nodded slightly, as if asking for advice.
"Sell this watermelon at Fumanlou, and earn at most a few hundred taels of silver. If we give it as a gift, in this hot summer, the effect of this rare and refreshing thing..."
Third Master Wang didn't say the rest, but gave Shopkeeper Qi a meaningful look.
"The third master is brilliant!" Shopkeeper Qi was also a smart man, he knew everything, and immediately flattered him.
Third Master Wang raised his hand and stroked his beard under his nose, with a smug expression on his face, obviously he liked to listen to what the shopkeeper said.
"Old Qi, you go find ten people, ride on a fast horse, and send twenty of them to my eldest brother day and night, and bring a record of how to eat them." Third Master Wang ordered.
"Yes!" Shopkeeper Qi nodded heavily.
"Okay, you go get ready." Wang Sanye waved his hand and sent people away.
Then they called the housekeeper, drew up a list, and told him: "When the watermelon arrives, send it to each house according to the name on it."
"Yes!" The steward took a step forward, bowed his body and took the list with both hands. After scanning it roughly, he understood the reason, because the people on the list were all officials who had good relations with the Wang family.
……
Had dinner.
Just today, when Li Xiaodao was resting, the five of them were sitting in the main room, looking at the 200 taels of silver on the table, discussing what to do.
"Of course I bought the land." Luo Pan spoke first.
After buying land last time, he has been thinking about it all the time. Now that he has money, his first choice is to buy land.
"I agree with Abacus, but now that the fields are full of grain, it's not the time to buy land. If you want to buy land, you have to wait until after the autumn harvest." Wei Shu said.
"Then save up the money and save it for the autumn harvest." Li Xiaodao said.
After listening, the five people agreed one after another.
"Third brother, you should first inquire in the village to see who wants to sell, and pay more attention." Fat Miao'er said.
"Isn't it okay for those from other villages?" Liu Ye'er asked in confusion.
"Inconvenient." Fat Miao'er shook her head.
"I'm going to turn the newly bought land into a paddy field, plant rice and raise crayfish, and I'm really worried about putting it in an outer village." Fat Miaoer explained.
"You can also grow watermelons. I have collected all the watermelon seeds and dried them in the sun. I can grow some more next year." Compass interjected.
"Yes." Fat Miao'er nodded.
"What if I can't buy it?" Li Xiaodao worried.
"If we can't buy it, we can rent it. Let's first convert the five acres of land left by my adoptive father into a paddy field. One or two acres of land for growing watermelons is enough," Luopan said.
"That's a good idea!" Li Xiaodao nodded in agreement.
