Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

"Auntie, isn't Jiang Hu here? I have something to ask him." Liu Yuhan was about to find Jiang Hu to ask something, but couldn't find him.

"Girl, today is a day off. He went to the small fishing village."

"A small fishing village?"

"Girl, Hu Zi has saved up all the wages he received in the past few months. During his rest time, he buys some rice and goes to the small fishing village to visit those children."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Alas... they are all miserable people. I heard that it was people from the small fishing village who saved Hu Zi. One man died while saving him, leaving behind orphans and a widow."

"He said there's a yard in the small fishing village where many children who have lost their parents or have only one parent live together. You helped so many of us, so he's probably too embarrassed to tell you about it. We have a good life now, but we don't have much money to spend, so we save some and give it to him so he can buy more rice and food."

"Yes, I understand. Aunt, when he comes back, ask him to come find me."

"Okay, girl."

Liu Yuhan took Bai Zhi away.

"Baizhi, it's been a year, are you ready?"

"Girl, I..."

"I came to see Jiang Hu today because I wanted him to check the place you mentioned. A person's time is very precious. Instead of doing useless thinking, it's better to try to take action. What do you think?"

"Thank you, young lady. I will listen to you. I want to take back what belongs to my parents."

"Okay. Write down the address and the person's name. I'll ask Liu Neng to take someone to investigate tomorrow."

"Yes, girl."

"How many people can be accommodated in the men's and women's compound?"

"There are five rooms left for men, which can accommodate 15 people, and seven rooms left for women, which can accommodate 21 people."

"What about the boys' and girls' dormitories?"

"There are five rooms left, each accommodating 15 people."

"it is good."

Jiang Hu left home at three in the morning and returned just before nightfall. Hearing that his boss was looking for him, he drank some water and went to Liu's house.

"Please sit down." Liu Yuhan was the first to sit on the stone slab in the yard.

Jiang Hu sat down. Liu Yuhan saw that he was exhausted and looked at his face that looked very similar to Jiang Lu, so she sighed in her heart. She got up and went to the kitchen to get him some corn buns and a bowl of pork soup.

"Eat."

"Thank you, boss."

Jiang Hu was really hungry, but he still tried to slow down his pace. When he finished eating, he took the initiative to tell Liu Yuhan before she could open her mouth.

"Boss, is there anything you need me to do? I left without saying goodbye today. It's my fault."

"Today is a day off. Just tell us your itinerary when you go out. This was agreed upon from the beginning. I heard you went to a small fishing village? Tell me about it."

"Yeah. I know my abilities are limited, but I can't help but care about them."

"How many people are there? What do they do for a living?"

"It's a fishing village, a very desolate place. They only have old fishing boats and rely on going out to sea or picking up seafood on the beach to make a living."

"There are many orphans without parents living in that courtyard, as well as some widows and orphans. It's about the same number as the ones we had before."

"They don't want to leave the village, do they?"

"Perhaps. I suggested this to them before. On the one hand, they might be afraid of the future, and on the other hand, they might want to defend that place. That sea once buried their families."

"We're going to harvest watermelons and corn soon, and we need to replant sweet potatoes and potatoes. We need people to do all this, but everyone in the village is busy with their own things, so it's hard to recruit people. Jiang Hu, if they are willing, you can bring them here."

"Boss, thank you, but I can't guarantee that there are some people..."

"Then investigate thoroughly before bringing them here. Go find the village chief. Are there other villagers there? Bring some sweet potatoes and potatoes to them and teach them how to grow them in Sha Tin. This is also a sign of my sincerity in hiring you."

"Okay. I'll definitely get it done."

"Then you can go tomorrow. I'll have He Bo and Qiu Sheng pull the ox cart with you. He Bo knows how to grow sweet potatoes. You don't have to rush and go back in one day. If you're sure, just bring the person back directly."

Jiang Hu didn't know what to say, he bowed deeply to Yu Duo.

The next day, Jiang Hu and his companions set out early in the morning, pulling three ox carts filled with sacks of sweet potatoes.

Liu Yuhan and his father took Butler Huo to the watermelon field, picked a big watermelon and broke it open on the spot for Butler Huo to inspect and accept.

"Butler Huo, please try it."

"Okay girl."

Huo Tian had eaten watermelon before. In the past, the old lady would give him some watermelons that she brought back from the capital every year.

Although the watermelons Huo Tian had eaten were also very sweet, he didn’t know whether it was because they had been stored for a long time or because they were different varieties, but in any case, they could not be compared with the watermelons that the Liu family had now!

The pink flesh is juicy and sweet, and the black watermelons are plump and translucent. The watermelons vary in size, but most weigh around 8 to 10 kilograms and are in excellent condition.

"Girl, the watermelons are really good. When can we pick them?"

"anytime."

"Okay, young lady. The eldest master has already said that the watermelons will be sold individually, one or two ounces each. We will take care of the transportation and packing."

"Don't give so much."

"Hey girl, I can't make the decision on this. These are rare and valuable things. Don't worry, we won't lose anything."

"Okay then. Watermelons are fragile, so it's best to put them in a sturdy frame and put some straw inside to cushion the impact."

"We have baskets in our orchard, and the rice was just harvested. I'll send someone to the rice fields to get more straw."

"Then I'll bring the convoy over tomorrow? We need to take them away in batches, so it might take some time."

"Okay, bring your men here tomorrow. Are you taking them to the capital?"

"Yes. Take them to the capital and some major coastal cities. The Jiang family fleet will also help arrange sales."

"Okay. I'll have someone go to the melon field and pick them tomorrow morning."

"Thank you for your hard work, young lady. The eldest young master sent a letter yesterday, saying that he would be back in two days."

"Oh."

..............................

The next day, Liu Jia took scissors and went to the melon field with the three siblings of the Huo family.

Liu Yuhan taught them how to pick watermelons simply and effectively.

1. Look at the melon’s belly button, the smaller the better.

Second, look at the color of the melon where it touches the ground. If it turns yellow, it is generally ripe.

Third, look at the patterns on the melon. If they are spread out, it means it is ripe.

Fourth, look at the vines. The ones that are climbing up the vines and have curled threads are the ones that are dry and ripe.

Liu Yuhan taught the above methods.

As for the sound of tapping, if it's dull and not crisp, it's usually a sandy melon. It's generally unreliable for those who don't understand. Anyway, Liu Yuhan couldn't learn it.

The children were not allowed to do anything with their hands. The adults had to take a pair of scissors and carefully select the items before cutting them.

In order to prevent the cut watermelons from being damaged by the sun, they put straw in bamboo baskets, packed them, and carried them under a shady bamboo shed.

Last night, they heard Liu Yuhan say that the Huo family was helping to sell watermelons for one or two taels of silver each! Oh my God, they are selling them at such a high price. These are not watermelons, but nuggets of gold!

Last night, no matter what Liu Daling said, he couldn't be stopped and he insisted on taking his two sons to the melon garden to look after the watermelons.

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, Liu Yuhan secretly gave them flashlights and mosquito coils, and told them to bring bamboo curtains and quilts, as they had to sleep after all.

Actually, it wasn't so bad, because when the watermelons were being planted, the Liu family had already publicly announced that they were planting watermelons for the Huo family. The Huo family was the Huo family's army, so who would dare to harm the Huo family's crops without any hesitation?

The Liu family picked out watermelons of similar size, weighing about 8 to 10 jin each. They had to be in good condition, with no crooked or cracked ones. After all, they were selling for such a high price, so they had to guarantee quality.

According to incomplete statistics, one mu of land yields about 500 to 200 jin (approximately to kilograms). If we assume that a watermelon weighs nine jin (approximately kilograms), one mu of land yields about fruits. If one watermelon costs one liang of silver, how much does mu (approximately

It took Butler Huo five full days to transport the first batch of watermelons from 50 acres of land.

25,000 watermelons, and 50 taels of silver notes were given to Liu Yuhan, silver notes of taels each!

Liu Yuhan put the banknotes in the space and couldn't help singing: Get rich, get rich... Watermelon, watermelon, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice...
