The next day, Wang took Bai Jintong to see the fruits collected from the countryside.

Bai Jintong looked at the fresh fruits such as bananas, pears, sugarcane, longans, etc. and wished she could put them directly into the system space.

She suppressed the desire.

“Do you really want these fruits?

It’s delicious, but isn’t this too much?”

Wang thought that since these fruits had a long journey to the capital, it would be good if at least one could survive.

Although the fruit is bought cheaply, it is a waste to transport it back like this.

But it seems that if these fruits are not shipped to Beijing, most of them will end up being rotten.

There are many mountains here, which is not suitable for growing crops, but there are various fruit trees everywhere.

The local people also rely on these fruit trees for their livelihood.

"Aunt, actually these fruits are wanted by people in the capital, and the people who come to collect these fruits will arrive tonight.

But this is far from enough.”

As Bai Jintong spoke, he took out a silver note worth one thousand taels and handed it to his aunt.

"Use this thousand taels to buy fruit. As long as it's not bad to eat, I'll take any kind."

"Are you serious?"

Wang looked at the 1,000 taels of silver in her hand and felt it was very heavy.

“Of course it’s true, it’s all said and done.

But he didn't want to expose himself, so we pretended not to know. He would only come at night to collect the fruits and take them away.

Aunt and uncle, just help buy the fruit, don't worry about other things."

Wang automatically imagined that he might want to do something with the fruit.

"Those fruits can't be kept for too long. They will go bad if they are kept for too long."

If that person fails to preserve the fruits properly and many of them go bad, and then turns around and blames them, they won't be able to afford it.

Bai Jintong also knew what her aunt meant.

He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, aunt, as long as the ones collected are good, you don’t have to worry about the rest.

I can guarantee that.”

Wang nodded and said, "You should talk to your uncle about this."

Wang has always been good at managing the household, but regarding such a big matter as one thousand taels, she must discuss it with her husband.

"nature."

Bai Jintong nodded.

When Hong Tianyu came back for lunch at noon, Wang told Bai Jintong about the one thousand taels of fruit collection in front of her.

"One thousand taels, but you can get a lot. Most of the fruits here are one cent a pound, and the most expensive is five cents a pound."

What one thousand taels can buy is not one thousand jin, but a minimum of five hundred thousand jin.

"I know. The more that person says, the better."

Bai Jintong didn't expect the fruits here to be so cheap and was very excited.

"Okay, just ask that person to collect it every day."

Hong Tianyu knew that the other party didn't want to see them, so he took out the key and gave it to Bai Jintong.

"Here is the key to the yard where the fruits are kept. I'll give you one.

Just give it to me when you have collected it.”

That yard belongs to the government office and no one lives there.

The previous family, some committed crimes and some were killed and some were exiled to the border.

There are several such courtyards in the county town.

Sometimes when the government office needs to requisition something, they will choose those that are close to the government office.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, uncle and aunt."

“What’s the trouble.

Uncle also wants to thank you.

You don’t know that many fruit farmers worry about not being able to sell their fruits every year. These one thousand taels can help many fruit farmers.

The more fruit your friend can buy.

It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. My uncle would like to have more of them."

The important matter was settled, and Hong Tianyu did not delay. After lunch, he and Wang went out together to collect the fruits.

This is a serious matter, and Hong Tianyu can use this as an excuse to leave legitimately.

At midnight that night, Bai Jintong went to pick the fruits quietly by herself.

This cycle continued for five days, and almost all the fruits grown by the nearby fruit farmers were harvested.

Bai Jintong saw that it was almost time to return to Beijing.

Before leaving, I gave my uncle and aunt an idea. If some farmers have fruits that they can't sell, it would be a good idea to make them into dried fruits or something.

This proposal was really an enlightenment for Hong Tianyu.

Bai Jintong brought back a lot of local specialties and dried seafood to Beijing.

However, this time Wang went back to Beijing with them, because Hong Wenchu ​​was going to get married in less than a month.

Although the father could not travel thousands of miles to personally send his daughter off to marry due to his duties, the mother Wang could not help but go back to see her off to marry.

She only has this one daughter.

"My cousin will definitely be happy to see my aunt."

"You've grown up, and you're going to be a family man."

Wang felt sad when she thought that she would hardly see her daughter again in the future.

However, marrying into such a good family was what she had hoped for at the beginning.

Along the way, Bai Jintong and Wang talked about the current situation of the capital, some important matters such as the families that had dealings with their family.

As Wang listened, she became less nervous.
