Chapter 271 Fu Bao is Blessed

The young prince paused, for his maternal grandfather was also a minister.

The Emperor of Great Yan was no fool. Noticing the little prince's expression, he emphasized, "You are not allowed to give way to your maternal grandfather."

The young prince: "..."

At the residence of the Minister of Revenue, the Minister's wife ate two pieces of refreshing melon.

“No wonder everyone craves spirit melons in the summer,” said the wife of the Minister of Revenue. “These good spirit melons are truly exceptional; this is the first time I’ve ever eaten one infused with icy spiritual energy.”

"It's a pity we didn't buy enough," the old woman said.

The wife of the Minister of Revenue went to see the Minister: "Go and take a look in the wilderness. There are still several acres of melon fields there. I heard there are also some spiritual melons. Can the people of the Qin Yan Marquis's mansion finish eating them all?"

The Minister of Revenue had been keeping an eye on it for a while, and upon hearing this, he said, "I'll go take a look."

"Hurry up and go!" The wife of the Minister of Revenue said anxiously, "Our emperor is quite the glutton."

The Minister of Revenue immediately went to the desolate land. No one knew the Great Yan Emperor, this glutton, better than him. Moreover, the Great Yan Emperor was so fortunate that he could eat whatever he wanted.

Trying to outmaneuver the Emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty? No easy task.

The power of the Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud Advancement has subsided. Rainfall has decreased, and its ability to promote plant growth is no longer so frightening. At this time, it is not only Luo Bi's family that has spirit melons in the wilderness.

Melons grew in the acre-by-acre melon field, with Ling melons scattered among them, and the yield looked quite good.

Luo Bi also has three mu of melon fields, Qin Tan, Qin Yan, Qin Tang, and Qin Xun each have one and a half mu of land, and Rong Yan and Jiang Xu each have one mu of land, which they hastily cleared, and some still have clods of soil.

He Zu had even less; he was summoned by Rong Yang and mixed in some rainwater that promotes plant growth.

He Zu had an acre of land, which he cleared with the help of several of his nephews. After asking Rong Yang, he learned that He Zu planted a variety of crops, including melons on a small plot of land, with all kinds of melons.

We also planted some beans and peanuts.

"Grandfather," Rong Yang ran to Qin Tan, "is Yun, the 'Five Grains Abundant Harvest' expert, free?"

As long as Qin Di is not around, the child will stop calling him maternal grandfather. Since Qin Di is not in the wilderness, no one will think that his name is Qin Di. Qin Tan has left the affairs of the county government to the county magistrate and devoted himself to the farmland in the wilderness.

The rare and precious melon is not worth it if someone picks one.

Qin Tan looked around and found that Wugu Fengdeng Yun was in Qin Xun's melon patch: "I'll go tell your Uncle Qin Xun."

"Okay." Rong Yang was very easy to talk to.

He took advantage of his young age to rob the Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud Irrigation Project.

"Qin Xun." Qin Tan went over and asked, "Is the irrigation finished?"

When Qin Xun saw Rong Yang, who hadn't finished irrigating, he gave up the Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud. Rong Yang happily took the Five Grains Abundant Harvest Cloud back and directed the cloud to make it rain in He Zu's farmland.

Prince Su and his group rushed to the desolate land to find Qin Yan and the others: "Are there any ripe spirit melons?"

Qin Yan remained expressionless: "No."

The young princes were disappointed. The Minister of Works said, "If you have any ripe melons, just say so. We'll buy them. You probably can't eat all of these melons from such a large plot of land. We'll buy them from you at the prices set by the immortal sects."

Qin Yan agreed, and the young prince stayed behind to find Rong Yang, while the others left.

One group left, and another group arrived. This group consisted of the Prime Minister, this Marquis, and that General. They were all cultivators and naturally wanted to eat a spiritual melon. Their wives and young ladies also came along.

"Hiss, is this a wilderness? Crops are actually growing here?"

"It's not a drought-resistant crop; watermelons absorb a lot of water."

This woman, who is knowledgeable about farming, is the general's wife.

"It's so hot now that autumn has arrived." A young lady from a secluded family shook the lady of the house's arm: "I want to eat a spirit melon."

"Do you think you're the Lucky Baby of the Xue Prince's Mansion?" the lady of the house said. "You still want to eat spirit melons? Even Lucky Baby can't afford them. With our family's circumstances, we can just eat ordinary watermelons." Lucky Baby is blessed. She has been eating spirit-infused ingredients since she was a child, and her reputation for good fortune is well-known. In the cultivation family, almost everyone knows that the little girl has a high level of good fortune and has been pampered since she was a child.

This year, Fu Bao won't be able to eat the spirit melon. The ladies from all the mansions got together and grumbled that Fu Bao had benefited from the Yan State Duke's mansion since she was a child and had eaten so many good things. It's not a loss that she can't eat it now.

The Prime Minister went to see Qin Tan and Qin Yan, and agreed that they would buy the melons when they were ripe. Then they walked around the melon field to look at the watermelons, and then went back.

When a lady asked about ordinary watermelons, Lin Yao consulted with Rong Yang and whispered, "The watermelons on our two acres of land are ripe. How about we sell a few ordinary watermelons and ask for a higher price?"

Buy it or don't, it's up to them, their young master to eat if they don't buy it.

Rong Yang followed Lin Yao into the melon patch, her little head busy searching: "Find a ripe melon."

Lin Yao pointed to a few familiar faces: "I know these people well."

Rong Yang thought for a moment and said, "Take them all off."

Lin Yao picked the melon, and the guards took it from him. They walked out of the melon patch and went to the grape trellis.

Rong Yang said, "Let's cut a melon and try it."

The little prince came over, and he tried some too.

Lin Yao took out a dagger to cut the melon. He touched the melon and snapped it. "Okay, everyone knows this melon is definitely crisp." The child's eyes lit up. Lin Yao quickly cut the melon into pieces.

The young prince took a piece of melon, first currying favor with Rong Yang, and then placed a piece of melon in the little dumpling's hand: "Little brother, have some melon."

Rong Yang doesn't stand on ceremony with anyone. He took a small bite of his melon, and the little prince had already taken another piece, tilting his head and looking at Rong Yang, waiting for Rong Yang to comment on whether the melon was delicious or not.

Rong Yang: "......"

Qin Bi wasn't there, and the child was very composed: "Sir, please try them all."

Lin Yao knew the price was reasonable, so he took a slice of watermelon and invited the guards to eat some. Lin Yao took a bite of the watermelon and then fell silent. Huh? He looked down at the watermelon in his hand; it was just an ordinary watermelon!

The guards took a bite, and then looked at each other, dumbfounded.

"A regular melon can have icy spiritual energy?" a guard asked, bewildered.

One of the aides said, "This melon can't be considered an ordinary watermelon!"

Autumn is hot and dry, and eating a melon is refreshing. A fine watermelon goes without saying, but even a regular watermelon is cool and sweet, which is a pleasant surprise. Everyone saw joy in each other's eyes.

Lin Yao called Qin Tan and the others over: "Try it, everyone."

Qin Tan and the others tasted it, and their eyes lit up.

Qin Tan said, "We can't price it like a regular watermelon; we can raise the price."

Needless to say, Lin Yao took two ordinary watermelons, carried Rong Yang away, and returned to the Rong King's Mansion to discuss the price with the Rong Prince. When Lin Yao and Rong Yang returned, the price of the watermelons was set at one low-level demon beast crystal per watermelon.

It lacks any special qualities, but based on its crisp, sweet, and cool texture, this price is acceptable for an ordinary watermelon.

An ordinary farmer would only sell a watermelon for a few dozen coins.

"How much are the watermelons?" a lady asked.

“One monster crystal for one melon,” Guard Yan replied.

lady:"?????"

The lady turned and left in anger. How dare she ask for a price for a broken watermelon!

Guard Yan didn't care; he could buy it or not. Maybe the young master would be generous and give his men watermelons to eat. It would be even better if they couldn't sell them.
