Chapter 116: Amazing Transformation

the small basket, refusing to take it. 。"What are you going to do with these things You have a whole family to feed!" Li Laosi picked up an apple, held it in his hand, and smiled. 。"Liu Gege, I won'...The village head pondered for a moment, suppressing the frantic beating of his heart, and said, "Lord Liu, since we have come to you with our faith, we leave these matters to your arrangement." 。But there is one thing I want to talk about. 。" Okay, Village Chief, you said 。"Liu Zhiheng nodded, guessing it was about the price." 。As expected, the village head said, “Regarding the prices of winter melon and fragrant melon, although we have been working hard for half a year, we don't want to sell them too expensively." 。Or, we are willing to sell you all these cucumbers and melons at a reasonable price. 。As for what you sell after you take them away, even if you sell a single cucumber for a gold ingot, we won't be envious. 。This was completely beyond Liu Zhiheng's expectations. Everyone hopes to get rich overnight and achieve success in one fell swoop. 。But how did these people from Broken Gold Beach push the gold they had into their hands back out"This... Village Chief, rarity is value. These melons and gourds selling at exorbitant prices is very easy." 。You're losing a significant amount by pushing this out. 。“The village head smiled and shook his head, “Outsiders don't know, but we ourselves are very clear " 。We are just a bunch of peasants who luckily escaped here to survive. 。 。Now that these winter melons and fragrant melons are selling at sky-high prices, I'm afraid there will be endless trouble. 。The Marquis is away fighting wars, and Mr. Wen has just entered the court. We don't want to burden them any further. 。Silver is useful, but it always has to have a life, and there has to be peace and quiet in order to spend it well. 。Li Lao'er also agreed, “A child holding gold and walking in the bustling market" 。Most likely, one can't keep the gold safe, and it could even endanger one's life. 。We are just ordinary people, only seeking a stable and prosperous life. We don't want to be seen by everyone as tempting fat, ready to be bitten at any time. 。After sending the winter melons to the Liu family, the village head consulted with several team leaders, including Li Lao Er and Liu Biao Tou Li Lao Si. 。Silver is a good thing, but the village doesn't have self-defense capabilities at the moment, and most of them rely on the Marquis and Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui. 。If one is too greedy, they will eventually invite disaster and harm themselves and others. 。It's better to just give them what they deserve and feel more at ease. 。The village head continued, "Therefore, the cucumbers and melons in our fields, after those offered to the palace are taken out, the rest of them, we'll simply set a price for them. Half will be given to Mr. Liu to sell. Even if he sells mountains of gold and silver, we'll only take our share." 。The other half should stay in the field, to feed those on the hillside and add some cheer. 。"Liu Zhiheng remained silent for a long time, his heart filled with complex emotions. " 。At first, he just thought that the people on Sui Jintan were simple and kind. His foster sister lived there, so at most he would help her with some food and necessities. He simply saw it as a place to relax and stay for a while, feeling safe and secure. 。Only now do I realize, he's still shallow. 。These people may not have read many books, but they are rare in their clarity and sound judgment. 。Only take what is due to you, don't be greedy or arrogant. This sounds simple when said, but it's the hardest thing to do. 。He stood up and respectfully bowed to the village head and Li Laoer, "Liu某 today has learned a lesson, thank you all!" The village head and others hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile, "We're just timid, afraid of causing trouble, how could we understand any great principles, let alone teach you anything." 。"

Lao Li Er also said, “Furthermore, if these winter melons and fragrant melons sell well, next year many people will want to try growing them. Our village doesn't intend to keep it a secret either; whoever asks about the planting method, we'll teach them a few pointers.” >>> 。If Old Master Liu's family had some riverbank land, it would be good to plant a few acres. 。" Liu Zhiheng thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "These winter melons and fragrant melons sold out, the seeds are indeed uncontrollable. Everyone wants to try them. If you don't teach them, it will be really easy to make enemies." 。Okay, my family also has a few acres of land. I'll need the village to send someone over occasionally to give us some guidance when the time comes. 。"Of course, this is a small matter." 。The village head agreed readily. 。That's it, the matter is settled. Jia Yin listened from beginning to end and felt happy in her heart. 。She had been worried that the villagers would be dazzled by sudden wealth, but to her surprise, the village head and her second uncle remained as level-headed as ever. 。It's like a big cake, everyone wants a slice. Instead of holding it tightly and having others plot and covet it, it's better to proactively share it out. 。This way, it can leave a larger piece behind, and it's more secure. 。Of course, everyone felt sorry for the part that was split off, but after all, Suijin Tan was still too weak. Stability and development were the top priorities. 。That night, Liu Ziheng stayed at Li's house. It happened that the three rooms had moved to Lu'an, leaving the rooms empty. It was convenient to stay there. 。The next morning, Mr. Wen hurried over. 。He discussed with Liu Ziheng and decided to present fifty winter melons and one hundred fragrant melons. 。This number isn't large, but it's not small either. 。The village bought a lot of small baskets back from Da Huai Shu Village, one basket for each cold melon or ten fragrant melons. It looked much more neat and delicate. 。When harvesting the melons, the village head specially took Jia Yin to the melon field. 。Although he tried to learn yesterday, for such a precious thing, he was still afraid of picking the wrong one. 。Jia Yin ran back and forth in the field, pointing to wherever she went, and the village head would lead people to pick it there. 。Liu Zhiheng looked in astonishment and asked Madam Cui, "This little girl from the Li family, is she only two years old Isn't she a bit…" Madam Cui had watched Jiayin grow up and didn't find anything strange. She smiled and said, "Funiu is smarter than ordinary children, and she has a natural appetite for food, so she excels in this aspect compared to others." 。Yesterday, she was the one who snatched the first watermelon from the field mouse's mouth. It was not only ripe but also especially sweet. 。" Liu Zhiheng was amazed, muttering to himself. Could this Suijin Beach really be a feng shui treasure land Everywhere he looked, there was something unusual about it. " 。Kaihuang Mountain, can chisel out hot springs. 。The worst patch of land, where melons and sweet melons were planted. 。Even the little ones raised here are so smart... Soon, both the cucumber and muskmelon were picked. 。A villager wanted to wash the mud off the winter melons and fragrant melons, but Liu Zhiheng stopped him. “Don’t wash them,” he said, “washing them will make them harder to store, and they won’t look as fresh this way.” 。Just put the clean ones on top, and stuff some squash seedlings in the basket. 。Everyone nodded in agreement, and after a busy scramble, finally got the watermelon and cantaloupe onto the carriage. 。The village head and Li Lao'er, after changing into clean clothes, felt a mixture of apprehension and excitement. They followed Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen into the palace to present melons. 。The villagers were preoccupied with it all day long. When they worked, they would always glance at the road. 。And all the old people and children in the village, as long as they didn't have important work to do, went out to the melon field. 。All outsiders are forbidden to approach, and upon encountering any small beasts or mice, they must be mercilessly killed, not a single one left alive. 。As dusk settled, the carriage finally returned. 。Both the village head and Li Laer were so overjoyed they seemed to have gone silly, walking as if on cotton clouds. 。The villagers surrounded them, chattering and asking, "Well then, did the Emperor eat our winter melons" Mr. Wen was afraid the village head and the others wouldn't understand, so he chuckled and said, "Not only did the Emperor eat them, but he also enjoyed them very much..." 。Let me tell you, we are the good people of Heavenly Martial who built our new homeland and grew such fine fruits and vegetables. 。The Emperor bestowed upon the bitter melon the name "Biyu," and the fragrant melon the name "Jinfu." 。“Don't mind the lack of rewards from the Emperor. Just these two names are treasures.” 。From now on, the Tianwu family will specialize in growing bitter melons and fragrant melons. Yours from Suijijin Beach will be the best of the bunch. 。There's no worry about selling, and the price will definitely be high. 。The villagers heard with great joy, all kneeling towards the direction of the new capital, shouting "Long Live!" 。"Long live the Emperor! Thank you, Your Majesty!" "Jade Gua! Golden Fruit! The Emperor is truly skilled at naming things" 。" she inquired tentatively, "Master Daoist, are you a celestial being who has journeyed here""Little Women is in trouble, she has come here to make a wish. I wonder if it would be fortunate enough for...
