Take Taobao to ancient times

"I almost forgot the most important thing. My purpose of coming this time is to give you money." Song Jue took out a bank note and put it in front of Lu Siyu.

"So much?" Lu Siyu took the bank note and looked at it, and saw the amount on it, which was a full 500 taels.

"You deserve it," Song Jue said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it's me who gained the most from this trip."

"Of course my brother-in-law can gain a lot from some things, but if it is changed to someone else, it is not certain whether there will be any gains." Lu Siyu also laughed, and he was telling the truth.

"Hahahahaha, it's still Xiaoyu who speaks nicely, unlike Jin Han, whose words are always disliked by people." Song Jue laughed.

"Uncle." Zhuang Jinhan frowned.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about you, by the way, how did you think about that matter?" Song Jue's expression became serious.

"I want to think about it again." Zhuang Jinhan whispered.

"You have to be clear, this matter is a good opportunity for you. If the emperor didn't trust you, you wouldn't have gotten this opportunity," Song Jue said in a low voice, completely out of the joking attitude before, "This time brother-in-law's The meaning is the same, he hopes you can make good use of this opportunity."

"If I agree this time, when I come back..." Zhuang Jinhan said half a sentence.

"When you come back, of course you won't be the county magistrate. With the emperor around, your official career will be smooth. This time is also an opportunity given to you by the emperor." Yili analyzed clearly with Zhuang Jinhan, "I heard that you rejected the emperor's request for you to go one step further?"

"The time has not come." Zhuang Jinhan explained.

"What the hell are you thinking? Entering the officialdom is your own decision. You finally got the chance to be promoted, and you gave up so easily? Zhuang Jinhan, don't think that the emperor has a good relationship with you, so you can always be so willful!" Song Jue Few floors up the face.

"Uncle..."

"Otherwise, I'd better go out." Lu Siyu listened from the sidelines, and the more he listened, the more he was shocked. He used to be Zhuang Jinhan's biggest reliance on the identity of Zhuang's father, but from Song Jue's words, it seemed that Zhuang's father's identity was not Zhuang Jinhan's only reliance. .

Afraid that the two would reveal some secrets if they continued to listen, he had to interrupt in a low voice. At this time, it would be fine if the two were going to be angry because of him. When he heard something he shouldn't have heard, it would be too late for him to leave .

Song Jue didn't care too much: "Didn't you go to the dealer before, there is no secret to you, and you don't have to care about it."

"But..." Lu Siyu hesitated, always feeling that staying here was a little disturbing.

"It's just that you can talk about this matter, Xiaoyu. Before the sweet potato incident, the emperor personally greeted Jin Han, saying that he wanted to use the sweet potato to promote his official position. Such a great contribution, just from the magistrate to the magistrate, should it be ?" Song Jue not only didn't let Lu Siyu leave, but asked him instead.

"Well, it should." Lu Siyu nodded. Plants that can change people's livelihood like sweet potatoes are indeed rare. The existence that is really comparable to it is probably hybrid rice. About hybrid rice, if you wait for Mr. Yuan to appear, you have to wait Waiting for hundreds of years, so for this matter, you have to rely on Taobao.

Nowadays, the appearance of sweet potatoes can definitely change the status quo of the imperial court, and it is definitely a great contribution from no one before or after. Zhuang Jinhan's promotion for this reason is absolutely justified.

"But Jin Han refused, is it his fault?"

"Yes," Lu Siyu nodded, then reacted abruptly, and shook his head quickly, "No...well, I mean this matter is indeed Brother Zhuang's fault."

"Okay, let's talk about this time, the emperor specially found an opportunity for Jin Han, but he said that he would consider it. Is this still his?" Song Jue asked again.

"This... There are some things Zhuang Ge has thought about in his own mind." Lu Siyu did not echo Song Jue's words this time, looked at Zhuang Jinhan, then at Song Jue, "Zhuang Ge is not a child, no matter what decision you make, Zhuang Brother naturally has his own considerations, no matter what it is, you should think it through before making a decision."

"Uncle, Brother Yu is right, some things cannot be decided so easily, so I want to seriously consider it." Zhuang Jinhan said seriously.

"I'll go out first, brother Zhuang and uncle chat slowly." Lu Siyu got up and walked out of the box on his own initiative, which was also a chance for the two to communicate alone.

After closing the door of the box, Lu Siyu let out a long breath. He wanted to be an ordinary citizen, and he didn't want to deal with people in the officialdom at all. But the people he met were bigger than the other, and he couldn't avoid them even if he wanted to. .

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Young Master Qi who came to Lujia Village with Lu's father and mother.

At that time, he didn't know the identity of Lu's father and Lu's mother, but because of Zhuang Jinhan's identity, he also guessed that the identity of Lu's father, Lu's mother, and that young young master Qi were not simple. Plus, then this Young Master Qi's identity may be greater than he imagined.

If you think about it more exaggeratedly, maybe it's the one who is aloof.

Lu Siyu quickly raised his hand and patted his face, don't think too much, it has nothing to do with him, he is just a sweet potato seller.

"Boss, do you want to clean up?" Lu Siyu had just gone downstairs when Xiao Er came up to meet him.

"It's still chatting inside, don't bother me, what's going on downstairs?" Lu Siyu was curious, as he just walked out of the box, he heard a commotion downstairs.

"Someone picked a watermelon to sell, but the price is a bit expensive, so the customers downstairs are bargaining." Xiaoer said quickly.

"Watermelon? I'm craving this." Lu Siyu's eyes lit up. Now that the weather is getting hotter, his appetite for food is not very good. When he heard about watermelon, he suddenly became interested. "Go down and have a look."

"Guest officer, today's load of watermelons is a big deal. Listen to the sound and tap on it. It's a good melon, but it's sweet." The watermelon seller said with a smile, and the tone of the watermelon when he introduced it was full of admiration. Some queens sell melons, which means selling themselves and boasting.

"We haven't eaten it before, so how do we know if it's sweet or not?" A customer said, looking at the watermelon with a hint of longing in his eyes, but he couldn't help it.

"This... Guest officer, if you eat it, will I still sell this melon?" The melon farmer also hesitated. Since he is carrying a burden to sell, he just wants to sell it for a good price, but what will he do? Proving that watermelon is sweet is a hassle.

"How much is this watermelon per catty?" Lu Siyu asked.

"Two cents a catty, don't look at the high price. It is not easy to grow watermelons in our place, so the price is more expensive." The melon farmer quickly explained, thinking that many people have already questioned this issue.

"Watermelons can grow so big now. My uncle must be very good at serving them." Lu Siyu smiled. Modern technology has brought rapid development to agriculture, so the yield of many crops is very high. However, in ancient times, if crops want to yield high, they must It will be more time-consuming and laborious.

"Isn't that right, these watermelons are my ancestors, and listen, this sound is definitely a good melon." The melon farmer patted the skin of the watermelon, and soon made a dull sound, which also explained to a certain extent This is a ripe melon.

"Then give me two." Lu Siyu picked two from a pile of watermelons.

"Okay, two watermelons weigh a total of 23 catties. The total is... I will calculate." Gua Nong thought seriously. Although he often does business, he is still not proficient in calculations, so he has to think hard to get result.

"Don't forget, it's a total of 46 Wen, twenty catties forty Wen, three catties and six Wen, which adds up to just 46 Wen." Lu Siyu explained that it was easy for him to calculate the price himself, but now it's more complicated. , just to explain to Guanong how he calculated it.

Saying so, he took out the money bag from his arms, counted out 46 Wen, and handed it to Gua Nong.

Shopkeeper Zhao stood aside, originally thinking of waiting for Lu Siyu to speak before going to withdraw the money, but unexpectedly Lu Siyu paid the money without saying a word.

"Xiao Er, can I borrow the well water from the store?" Lu Siyu greeted Xiao Er with a smile.

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and some didn't react.

"Of course it's okay, Xiao Er, go and carry a bucket of well water." Shopkeeper Zhao reacted quickly, knowing that Lu Siyu probably didn't intend to reveal his identity, so he quickly followed Lu Siyu's words.

"Okay." Although Xiao Er was still a little puzzled, he still went to the backyard to fetch water from the well.

Lu Siyu followed Xiao Er with two big watermelons in his arms, and when he walked to the backyard, he saw Xiao Er walking out with a bucket, which was full of water.

"Too many, bring another bucket."

"Okay." Xiao Er did it without thinking.

Lu Siyu divided the well water into two buckets, and then threw the watermelon in his arms into it. The big watermelon went into the bucket, and soon the water overflowed, and the half bucket of water became a bucket of water again.

The boss is still smart, Xiaoer watched from the side, thinking so in his heart.

Well water is taken from deep wells, which are still cold even in the hot summer.

In fact, there is no distinction between winter and summer in well water. No matter what season it is, the temperature difference will not exceed 1 degree. It can really be called warm in winter and cool in summer.

The watermelon was soaked in the well water and was soon submerged.

Lu Siyu was patient, but the people around him couldn't bear it.

"Little brother, don't you plan to cut it open and have a look?"

"Okay, let's cut it." Lu Siyu smiled. The water quality of the well water is cold, and the watermelon will have a cooling effect after being left in it for a while. He asked Xiaoer to take a knife and cut the watermelon on the table. open.

However, as soon as he moved, the watermelon automatically turned into two halves. The color of the flesh is very beautiful, and it has just been soaked in well water, so it can be imagined that the taste must be very good.

It's just that the people around are still hesitant. They want to eat watermelon, but it's just that such a big watermelon costs more than [-] yuan to buy one. It's not particularly expensive, but it's not cheap, and watermelon is not special. Rare things, just for the sake of appetite and some reluctance.

Lu Siyu raised his head, looked at Shopkeeper Zhao not far away, and then glanced at the watermelon not far away: "Why don't Shopkeeper Zhao buy all the watermelons and cut them into pieces for sale?"

"Hey, that's a good idea. Shopkeeper Zhao really doesn't think about it? A ten-pound watermelon is too big. We just try it out. Why don't shopkeeper Zhao buy it and let us share it?" Some of the onlookers said say.

"Shopkeeper Zhao is no longer the owner of this restaurant. How can he be the master? If there are so many watermelons that cannot be sold, wouldn't they be thrown into his hands?"

"How could it be? Zhao can make the decision on such a trivial matter," Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile, and looked at the melon farmer again, "If I buy all the watermelons, can it be cheaper?"

"Of course, of course, then I'll weigh it for you?" Gua Nong said with a smile, if they could all be sold out right now, he would feel relaxed today.
