Chapter 160 The Great Man's Character is Better Than the Other Two
The fat constable was furious. He had come excitedly, but left dejectedly.
However, he will not give up, he will come back again!
Jiang Ya stretched his neck and saw that the fat constable had run away in anger, which made him even happier.
Jiang Shuzhi stood by, marveling at the sight.
I thought my nephew was a cold shard, but it turns out he's a hot stove!
The chubby girl was engrossed in eating, completely unaware that she had become a hot commodity!
When Gao Mengli and Lin Xi returned with the aloe vera, everyone else had already left.
The two ate a little something.
Gao Mengli then took out a small knife and scraped the aloe vera to give Lin Xi an aloe vera facial treatment!
And you know what? My skin was noticeably smoother after the treatment!
Lin Xi held the bronze mirror, looking at herself from left to right, grinning from ear to ear, and occasionally gently stroking her face. "Oh my, not bad, not bad!"
It's a pity there are few wealthy women in Pingyao, otherwise they could open a beauty salon and make a fortune!
While admiring herself in the mirror, Lin Xi began to plan ahead: "Mengli, what do you think about opening a beauty salon, specializing in aloe vera skin infusion, and launching some rose beauty packages and pearl whitening formulas? It would definitely seduce those wealthy ladies."
At that time, there will be long queues in front of our store every day, and we'll sit there counting money until our hands cramp!
"Then we'll use the silver to build a big bed, and sleep on silver pillows every day!"
Gao Mengli rolled her eyes at her Xixi: "Don't dream! Pingyao isn't an option right now, but who knows what will happen in the future."
However, Pingyao will become even more lively in the future, so this method might actually work.
When the time comes, we'll invite Dajun to be our "test subject," and he can even become the face of their beauty salon!
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Lin Xi quickly ran out to open it.
Nan Sheng stood at the door with three remaining soldiers, each carrying a basket on their back.
"What are you doing here?" Lin Xi asked, somewhat puzzled.
Nan Sheng quickly stepped forward, "Boss Lin, this is the chayote that my younger brother got for Da Niu. It just arrived today, so I brought it over first."
"Buddha's hand melons...?!" Lin Xi stared wide-eyed at the two baskets of Buddha's hand melons, speechless as she looked up at the sky...
What's going on with their eldest son?
After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Xi quickly stepped aside, allowing the two to place the melon in the restaurant.
After the two left, Gao Mengli also came over from the backyard, looking at the pile of chayote on the ground with a face full of questions.
"Where did this melon come from?"
Lin Xi pouted and picked one up in her hand. "Da Niu asked Nan Chang'an to buy it. Nan Sheng just brought it over with some people..."
Looking at this pile of melons, Gao Mengli sensed the fear of being dominated by chayote in the future...
"Where did this child buy so many things???"
Gao Mengli squatted down beside her, somewhat speechless.
Their family only has one acre of land, and it was thanks to the old house that they planted some scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers...
"Well... let's go ask the expert."
This brat has grown up, made money as a scalper, and started having all sorts of ideas.
The two arrived at the city gate and found the big ox holding a carrot, learning to ride and shoot.
Upon hearing that his melons had arrived, Da Niu immediately asked his teacher for leave and ran back to the restaurant with his parents.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw chayote vines all over the ground.
The child was so excited that he plunged headfirst into the pile of melons, completely captivated by their beauty.
"My melon!!!"
Lin Xi: ……
Gao Mengli: ……
From now on, I'll really be just a bystander...
Lin Xi pursed her lips and quickly reminded her eldest son, "Da Niu, we already have three at home, and they've all been planted. Why are you buying this bunch?"
It means, if you don't have space at home, you can plant it wherever you want.
To everyone's surprise, Da Niu's eyes lit up, and he looked at his father excitedly, "Dad, I'm not planting this melon!"
Gao Mengli crossed her arms, looking at her brat with a puzzled expression. "Huh? If you're not going to grow it, why did you buy it? Don't tell me you're going to worship it or treat it as some kind of lucky melon?!"
Upon hearing this, Da Niu happily climbed out of the melon pile, ran over and took Gao Mengli's hand, "Mom, besides giving these melons to Grandpa and Grandma, my aunt, and my maternal uncle's family, I'm selling the rest!"
Gao Mengli's eyes widened in disbelief: "You little brat, you're thinking of selling melons? Do you even know how to sell them? Nobody's ever seen these melons before, who are you planning to sell them to?!"
Although this melon has a high yield, it's just talk; who would believe it?
Upon hearing this, Da Niu patted his chest confidently: "Mom, I've thought it all through."
Each melon can produce 300 to 500 melons, with a net weight of 900 to 1000 jin!
Even if you sell it for one coin for two catties, you can still make up to 500 coins!
Lin Xi frowned and looked at Da Niu. "That's true, but who could believe that its yield is so high?"
That's higher than the current yield of one acre of rice; I wouldn't even dare to dream of doing that.
Besides, who would believe that if I told them?!
Da Niu smiled and looked at Lin Xi, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll take them back to the village and sell them for 100 coins each. Everyone will definitely buy them!"
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi exchanged a glance.
One hundred coins?!
Their son, Da Niu, is getting increasingly cunning in his business dealings.
However, this can only be done in the first year, since people will save seeds in the second year.
He was calculating the cost of Da Niu's goods and the price of hiring a security escort agency.
The cost is high, but selling it at this price is still reasonable.
Little did they know, Da Niu spent five hundred coins to buy this whole pile!
The two of them really didn't want to discourage Da Niu.
This kid's scalping business is probably doomed.
There are at least three hundred chayote melons in those four baskets...
Besides the ones that the big shots are going to give away, there are still 300 left at most.
Once the bull is sold, that's 30,000 copper coins, which is 30 taels of silver!
The two of them pursed their lips, somewhat disbelieving.
But his hands weren't idle either; he quickly packed the melons and asked Zhao Chen, who was running the "bus," to come and load them.
Da Niu's laughter never stopped the whole way.
Zhao Chen was also curious, "What kind of melon is this? It looks very peculiar?"
Just as Gao Mengli and Lin Xi were about to strike up a conversation, Da Niu cheerfully explained, "Uncle Zhao, this is chayote, and it has a very high yield! One plant can produce almost a thousand catties! Do you want to buy one and take it home to plant?"
They're very easy to care for; all you need is a trellis for them to climb and grow!
Zhao Chen was startled, his eyes widening: "A thousand jin? Thank goodness you weren't lying to me, Da Niu?!"
Da Niu thumped his chest loudly, "Uncle Zhao, I guarantee you with my integrity, you won't regret trusting me!"
Lin Xi chuckled when she heard Da Niu talk about character.
He remained calm and collected, ready to see his eldest son get humiliated.
If Da Niu really can't sell any more, he'll say a few nice things for his dead son and sell a few to comfort him.
Little did Zhao Chen know, after Da Niu vouched for him with his character, Zhao Chen's initial five-point belief turned into a full ten!
"Hey! It's true! Big Niu, give Uncle two, no, three, I'll give you a coin when we get home!"
Lin Xi's eyes widened. "You're going to buy it? Aren't you afraid my Da Niu will cheat you?!"
Zhao Chen waved his hand, "Look at what you're saying, we still trust Da Niu's character!"
At least, the person in question is on a completely different level in terms of character compared to the two people in front of him!
Trust the experts, you can't go wrong!
