After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy
Chapter 218 A New Heroine, Su Rongrong, Appears in the World
Su Rongrong was afraid of trouble, so when she heard that Lu Lu felt it would take a long time, she immediately gave up the idea.
"Then Brother Zheng, you take care of the arrangements, I will cooperate with you.
But you know, I can’t stay in the capital for long, one month is the limit!"
"it is good!"
Due to the hot weather, the biggest thing for Su Rongrong's family now, apart from her mother, is selling watermelons.
So after agreeing to Baili Zheng, he went to talk to Liu Miao for a while.
Ask her to help take care of the house, and when she is free, go to the county town to visit Manman and the others.
After Liu Miao had settled the matter, he went to the county town again.
By the time she and Baili Zheng set off, it was already early June.
Not long after Su Rongrong and Baili Zheng left, Wei, who had been worried, quickly recovered the first sum of silver.
With the first payment, there will naturally be the second and the third payment.
At the same time, Su Qiaoqiao and Tao Ya, who were far away in Muyang Prefecture, were also busy after a banquet at the prefect's house.
They could never have dreamed that a watermelon weighing more than ten pounds could be sold for ten taels of silver.
As a result, the wealthy families rushed to grab the goods as if they had no money at all.
Some of them didn't quite understand why Chi Yan didn't allow them to sell watermelons in the beginning.
Not only theirs, but also the ones sent by Wei were stopped by him, saying that he was waiting for the opportunity.
Later, as the weather got hotter and hotter, many people died of heatstroke in and outside the city every day, and then they started selling it.
Oh, the most important opportunity was the banquet hosted by the magistrate’s wife.
Under the pretext of having the support of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, they sent a dozen watermelons to the prefect.
It is said that after tasting it at the prefect's house, the wealthy families became interested in it and went around asking around using their connections to find out where they could buy it.
As soon as their shop was opened, it was snapped up by customers.
Their watermelons are juicy and sweet, and even more refreshing after being chilled.
It is said to relieve summer heat after eating.
In addition, the fruits that should be available in this season have either dried up and shriveled long ago, or have not borne any fruit at all.
The emergence of watermelon just fills this demand.
Plus they add a layer of mystery to the watermelon.
They said that they spent a lot of effort to grow this watermelon and they personally went overseas to buy the seeds.
After returning, he contacted the Ministry of Agriculture through the Duke of Huguo's Mansion to help improve the variety.
Now, these watermelons are the first batch sold by the Daque Dynasty.
Even overseas, there is no such thing.
Therefore, this price cannot be lowered at all!
This directly led to Su Manman and Tao Ya regarding those watermelons as more important than their own eyeballs.
This is the situation on Su Manman's side, and it's the same on Wei's side.
By the end of June, she had 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver from watermelons alone.
This does not include the fact that Su Qiaoqiao had previously transported ten trucks away, and Baili Zheng and Su Rongrong had taken away nearly 100,000 kilograms of watermelons.
It can be said that the income that watermelon brought her was an amount that she could not even dream of.
When people are busy, time always flies quickly, and it is already August in a blink of an eye.
Originally, Baili Zheng said that the round trip would only take one month.
As a result, the journey there was not very smooth.
When they traveled by water, they encountered pirates in more than one place.
It took them nearly a month just to get there, and Su Rongrong was injured.
She recuperated in the capital for a few days, and when she was almost recovered, Baili Zheng happened to buy all the watermelons.
So, when she came back, she had a huge sum of money with her.
It's just that she was wearing tattered clothes, riding on a small broken boat, and she kept the silver in the space, so no one knew about it and no one robbed her.
The first thing she did after she came back was to visit her mother.
Seeing that she was still alive and in good spirits, and that Jinhong had passed the imperial examination and returned, he went to look for Wei.
"Mrs. Wei, we arrived in the capital a little late this time.
The drought outside is getting worse and worse. It’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival, but the temperature remains high.
Originally, Xiangyang and his friends' watermelons only sold for fifteen taels each in the capital, but Brother Zheng sold them for twenty taels.
The watermelons we took away before were more than 6,000 in total.
Of the silver we finally obtained, Brother Zheng left some in the capital, and I returned with 100,000 taels.
These are all in the account books, made by the accountant at the Protectorate Palace. Please take a look!"
Su Rongrong said this as she untied the bag she had deliberately carried, and then took out an account book from the top.
Speaking of business, Wei also stood up and took out the account book from when he collected the watermelons.
"Rongrong, your family planted eight mu of land. I will calculate it based on eight thousand kilograms per mu, which is sixty-four thousand kilograms.
Previously, Manman transported away ten carts, each of which was pulled by two horses and loaded with one hundred, which was equivalent to one thousand.
Sixty-four thousand kilograms. If one watermelon weighs fifteen kilograms, that would be more than four thousand two hundred watermelons. I will count four thousand three hundred for you.
After deducting one thousand, there are three thousand and three left, right?
I took advantage of you before. You helped me pay some of the money for collecting watermelons.
Then the money earned from these watermelons will be counted as what A Zheng earned from selling this batch of watermelons.
In this case, I have to give you 66,000 taels."
After saying this, Wei counted out thirty-four thousand taels from the pile of banknotes and gave the rest to Su Rongrong.
Su Rongrong also silently counted out six thousand taels, and then pushed the remaining banknotes back in front of Wei.
"Aunt, my Qi family's shops also sell watermelons, so we have no shortage of money.
These were donated by my family to the soldiers on the frontier.
Please help me buy some rice and flour and send them over."
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes and said, "I want to do more good deeds for my parents, and hope they will have a good next life!"
Wei never expected that Su Rongrong would be so generous.
That was a full sixty thousand taels, not six hundred taels, let alone six taels.
How could she bear to do that?
"Rongrong, are you sure? This amount of money is more than many people can earn in several lifetimes."
"Well, I am sure, Wei Bo Niang, you can use it on those soldiers without any worries!"
As Su Rongrong finished speaking, Baili Zheng, who was far away in the capital, suddenly remembered the long-lost voice of the system.
"Ding ding - the system detected that a new heroine, Su Rongrong, appeared in the world."
"Didi - the heroine Su Rongrong donated 60,000 taels to the soldiers on the frontier, and the world order will end the drought in two months."
"Ding ding - the heroine Su Rongrong is about to come of age. If we can find a new hero and arrange a marriage before she comes of age, a new chapter in the world order will begin!"
Baili Zheng: “…”
Rongrong becomes the heroine?
What about the new male lead? Is there a fixed one or not?
There must be a fixed one, he can just kill the opponent and take over himself, can it work?
He was really fed up with this damn bad weather.
Besides, he was tired of having his life threatened by the system at every turn.
Otherwise, he could try it after the autumn examination and see if it works?
If he becomes the male protagonist, can he have a normal life and this broken system can be removed?
