Eating big melon is so refreshing

Guangning town, sweet sugar water shop.

Zhao Silang was sitting behind the counter, holding a sketchbook in his hand, reading with great interest.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of wind chimes, and with a mysterious aura, the Star Courier appeared like a ghost in the middle of the store. He was wearing a black cloak, with the brim of his hat pulled down very low, and a black scarf covering his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. He was carrying a bow and arrow on his back, and a sword hanging from his waist. He was dressed like an assassin!

His appearance was so abrupt that the sketchbook in Zhao Silang's hand fell to the ground with a "click" and his heartbeat accelerated, almost jumping out of his chest.

"Xingchen Express, mission accomplished." The courier's voice was calm and mysterious, as if it came from the distant sky. He waved his hand gently, and ten baskets appeared out of thin air in the middle of the store. The baskets were filled with golden loquats, exuding an enticing aroma.

Zhao Silang suddenly calmed down. He was familiar with this sentence. Xiaochuner and Xiaoqiuer opened an express delivery company. He didn't know what express delivery was at that time, but he knew this slogan.

If the courier disappears after delivering the goods and leaves the same way he came, and if he disappears after appearing a puff of smoke, he can be regarded as a charlatan.

Zhao Silang swallowed his saliva, walked up carefully, reached out and touched the loquats in the basket, and it really felt real.

It turned out that express delivery was delivery of goods. He saw a letter pressed under one of the baskets of loquats. When he opened it, he found that it was indeed Qiu'er's handwriting.

"Three and a half cents for the advanced level, 1.5 cents for the courier fee, I suggest you start selling at five cents, the loquats in Guoxiang County are super sweet."

"Oh, there are loquats in the shop today. Can I have one, shopkeeper?" A customer just happened to walk in and saw the golden loquats.

"The loquats from Guoxiang County are guaranteed to be sweet." Zhao Silang quickly put the letter away, invited the guests to taste them, and took one to taste himself.

"Hmm, delicious." The merchant ate a loquat and was very satisfied. "It's really the loquat from Guoxiang County. This is the taste."

Zhao Silang looked reserved and said, "My dessert shop is not a scam. The fruit just arrived. You can see that the leaves of the loquat are still new."

“How much is a pound of loquat?”

"It's seven cents a pound. The expensive part is the shipping fee. It's quite cheap to buy it in the village, only three and a half cents a pound." Zhao Silang said, "To be honest, I plan to take it down and boil it into loquat paste. It can cure cough."

The merchant had been to Guoxiang County and knew how bumpy the roads in the mountains were. Seven cents per catty was indeed not expensive. Being very wealthy, he asked for 200 catties right away and bought the baskets together.

"Brother-in-law." Gao Sanshan happened to pass by and didn't want to leave when he saw the golden loquats. It was the first time he saw such big and fragrant loquats.

"Here, I'll give you a bunch. Go to my great-grandfather's house and tell him that there are loquats from Guoxiang County in the shop. Xiao Qiu'er just had someone deliver them."

"My brother-in-law left us 20 kilograms. I want to take it back for my father and mother to taste."

"You don't need to be so attentive. I will bring 20 kilograms back to my parents-in-law, and another 20 kilograms to my uncle's family." His family only needs to pay the cost price, and he can afford two hundred coins.

Gao Sanshan ran away with a laugh, went to Zhao Dong's house and told the story, then was stopped by Wan Zi and made to drink a bowl of mung bean water.

"Xiaochun'er and Xiaoqiu are back?" Zhao Xi walked out of the room, muttering, "According to the time, they should be back. Could it be that Erlang took them there to play?"

Wan Zi replied, "Xiao Chun'er is probably not happy about being the runner-up again."

"Aren't you happy about getting second place? Didn't you see the kid from the Chen family, who got last place and went back to his hometown to hold a buffet for three days and three nights." Zhao Xi got angry whenever he thought about it. He wanted to hold a buffet to show off, but the protagonist didn't come back and was still hanging around outside!

Wan Zi's face was filled with a bright smile, and he said with a smile, "Father, it's okay if we don't show off the Tongsheng Banquet, but there will be a Xiucai Banquet in June, right? By then, we can set up a grand banquet for six days and six nights and celebrate properly!"

"We need to have wine at the banquet for students who are not yet qualified, and we need to have wine at the banquet for scholars who are not qualified," Zhao Dong said. "We have received so many gifts in the past few days, so we must not let them down."

Wanzi's smile faded and he sighed in his heart. His uncle and father still didn't understand the situation. Unless it was necessary, why would Xiaochun choose to travel at this time?

Zhao Lan said, "The Qingzhou prefect was dismissed, officials and businessmen in Jinyang County colluded, and more than 200 people were shot on Changjie Street. There must be a reason why Xiaochun and Xiaoqiu insisted on 'traveling' at this time."

Gao Sanshan suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Loquats. The loquats in Guoxiang County are famous for their delicious taste. Due to the winding mountain roads, most of the loquats rot in the village and cannot be transported out. The county magistrate tried every possible way, and those vendors only bought from the few villages closest to the official road."

Loquats cannot withstand the bumpy journey, and the loss is too great. The freight is more expensive than the fruit itself. If the price is too high, no one will buy it. If the price is too low, the work is in vain, so vendors are unwilling to go to farther places to purchase.

If you want to get rich, build roads first. County Magistrate Qu certainly knew this truth, but the village roads in both the South City and the North City were all made of hard stones. A dozen men couldn't dig ten meters of road a day, so they were lucky enough to be able to build a flat road in their own village.

"Go see the loquats." Don't think about things that are out of reach. Zhao Dong and Zhao Xi guessed that Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin should go to earn merit. After all, they shot and killed so many people in the Jinyang County Pacification Office, and the consequences will definitely fall on them.

Sweet Honey Sugar Shop

Zhao Silang desperately protected the last basket of loquats. He never imagined that nine out of ten baskets of fruits would be snatched away in such a short time!

"We're not selling this box anymore. Our family has already decided to take it." He sold the fruit so that his family couldn't even eat one, so he had to be careful that his uncle would hit him with his shoes.

"Today's loquats are gone, what about tomorrow?"

"I..." Zhao Silang wanted to ask how he knew that, but he couldn't say that, because that would really get him beaten!

"Fourth Uncle." Sanniu came running over breathlessly and said, "More than a dozen baskets of lychees and peaches have arrived at our house, as well as a letter from Fatty Sister."

Zhao Silang was stunned. "Why did Xingchen Express deliver the goods to my home?"

In fact, he was wrongly accusing people. These fruits were given by Xiao Chunya to show filial piety to her grandparents, uncles and aunts at home, so he sent the goods directly to Zhao Silang's house.

The merchants who couldn't get the loquats' eyes lit up when they heard about the lychees and peaches. Those who knew where Zhao Silang lived ran first, and those who didn't follow the people in front, and then more and more people followed these people, and the situation became a mess!
