Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune

Then I heard Old Man Su continue to say: "I have also inquired about it. This watermelon is the tribute melon that only the emperor in the palace can eat.

I heard that other countries presented this watermelon as a tribute to the current emperor. Now in the entire dynasty, our watermelon is the only one of its kind.

This is a good thing, not like those ordinary fruits, so we will sell them individually next time."

Hearing that it was sold by the piece, everyone understood that after all, the county magistrate was buying from them by the piece today.

The village chief thought for a while, suppressed his pounding heart and said: "Brother Su, you can arrange these things when the time comes, but there is one thing I want to say."

"Village chief, you say."

"What I want to talk about is the price of watermelons and cantaloupes. Although the price is very high now, everyone will definitely plant them next year."

Seeing everyone nodding their heads at this point, the old village chief continued, "This thing is easy to keep alive, so we shouldn't hope to sell it too expensively. After all, things are valuable because they are rare. Once there are more of them, the price may go down.

The old village chief said this in the hope that everyone would have an idea in mind by then and that the result would not be what they expected.

At this time, Su Muyao raised her chubby little hand like a good baby.

"Does Xiao Fuxing have anything to say?" The one who spoke was Village Master Su. He and Old Man Su were cousins.

"What I want to say is that we don't have to worry about the price. As long as we plant the melons next year, the merchants will definitely come and collect them all at once. We don't have to worry about the follow-up."

This word woke the old men up, and they realized that they had been thinking too much.

"Others may not know this, but we know it very well: we are just a bunch of peasants.

Fortunately, the Su family has a lucky little girl, which is why they can earn so much money. If this matter gets out, I'm sure others will be jealous and envious.

"During this period, we have to take good care of the melons in the vegetable garden. After all, we have already collected the money from them, and we will have to be careful not to fail to deliver the melons when the time comes."

Old Man Su also agreed: "Now that the watermelons are sold at sky-high prices, I'm afraid there will be constant trouble. Everyone should be careful. If outsiders come into the village, they must be watched closely."

Some of them are over 50 years old, so they naturally understand.

Old Man Su also made his final promise, "Next year, many people will want to plant it, and the people in our village will not hide it from anyone and will teach anyone who asks.

Besides, my family will also provide the seedlings, so when the time comes, everyone can just pay some money to buy the seedlings.”

Old man Su didn't want to earn this little money from selling the seedlings, but it was time-consuming and laborious, and he would definitely need more next year. He had to give his daughters-in-law some money for their help.

Su Muyao was eating the rice in the bowl, but she was thinking that the watermelon seeds in her space were all disposable, and the watermelon had no seeds at all.

I am not afraid at all that others will grow the crops with the seeds. I will give what should be announced, but I will naturally not give my livelihood to outsiders.

On that day, every household in the village built a small shed in their own vegetable garden.

If someone who doesn't know much about it would definitely think it is just a small vegetable patch, but in this vegetable patch there are melons worth dozens of taels.

Some people are guarding here all night. Are you kidding? This is dozens of taels!

What if it was stolen by someone else? Where would they go to cry?

Old Man Su also brought a few old guys who were his good friends to patrol the melon field.

No one was allowed to approach, and any small animals or voles they saw would be killed without mercy.

That day, many people were arguing under a big tree at the entrance of the village.

Liu Ermaizi fanned the evil wind in front of the group of old ladies, "Aunts, although the Su family is good, how can the sweet potatoes compare to watermelons? Why don't you let everyone grow them?

If the old Su family had said in advance that this melon could be sold for ten taels of silver, why would people plant those high-yield potatoes and sweet potatoes? "

These words happened to be heard by the village chief who was passing by.

The village chief knocked heavily on his pipe and called out to everyone.

"Wake up, don't let the money fool you. We are where we are today because of the kindness and generosity of the old Su family, who saved us all.

Otherwise, just look around the surrounding villages and you will see that everyone is starving to the point of being skin and bones. "

"Village chief, we know it."

“That’s good to know. Before the Su family wanted to plant melons, they asked everyone in the village one by one, and gave the seedlings for free to those who were willing to plant.

Besides, who knows it can be sold for ten taels of silver? Don't let others provoke you."

After saying this, the old village chief turned around and left without caring whether the villagers had listened or not.

He naturally believed that everyone in the village was good. Even if people from other villages came to mislead him, he believed that these people would have their own judgment and there was no point in saying more.

Seeing the old village chief leave, one of the old ladies took off her shoes and hit Liu Ermaizi in the face.

"You little beast, you know nothing, and you just sit here gossiping."

"How about I teach you a lesson today? You really think you are a human being.

Your sister married into my family and she is now a member of my family. It is not your turn to come to my house and point fingers at me, and now you are going to the village to gossip about me."

"You old woman, how dare you hit me? I will go back and tell my mother to let my sister divorce your son."

"I can't wait to see you go away now."

The old lady became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She put on her shoes and turned back.

If it weren’t for the fact that this daughter-in-law had been filial to her and the old man since she got married, and had managed the household well.

Otherwise, with such disgusting in-laws, I would have thrown my wife back to her parents' home long ago.

The news that melons were being sold for ten taels of silver per piece in the whole village soon spread throughout the surrounding area.

Liu Family

Liu Wentao was lying at home. Old Mrs. Liu looked at her son and felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

Ever since this useless son ran away with all the money in the family, his two sons now simply ignore him.

The family broke up, but when I opened the door this morning, I found my youngest son lying at the doorstep, dying.

After all, he was his own child. He took him to the back of the house and fed him some rice soup, and he started to feel better.

After waking up, he found out that Caifeng had run away, and the little money he had with him was snatched away by the people in the gambling house.

They were originally planning to sell him off, but they happened to meet a newly appointed leader who was arresting people, so he had a chance to escape.

Old Mrs. Liu was already feeling depressed and wanted to chat with some old sisters, but then she heard that the people in Taoliu Village had become rich by selling melons.

I heard that one melon was worth ten taels of silver. How could that be possible? Just selling a few melons could earn you dozens of taels of silver?

You don't have to work and just lying at home is enough to cover your lifetime expenses.

I also heard that those two money-losing guys are now working in the Su family's workshop.

When I think about it, selling those two money-losing goods for such a small amount of silver is really a bargain for the Su family.

But he couldn't go to their house and make trouble, after all, they had the indentures and severance letters of the two money-losing women.

The most important thing is that the little girl of the Su family was personally conferred the title of county lady by the emperor. She is no longer someone he can afford to offend.

What Old Lady Liu didn't notice was the sparkling eyes of Liu Wentao when she talked to him about the two money-losing goods.

At this time, Liu Wentao's mind was full of ways to make money and buy his daughter back.

It’s true that Liu Wentao now doesn’t even want to have a son. He was castrated a long time ago and was originally going to be sold to the palace to be a eunuch.

Now he has realized his mistakes and wants to make a good living so as to buy the two sisters back.

When the time comes, let one of them find a son-in-law at home, so that he can take care of me in my old age.

Old Mrs. Su was still thinking, they were all peasants digging in the soil for food, why could others grow gold nuggets while they could barely get enough to eat?
