Take Taobao to ancient times

Soon, all the watermelons were weighed, and after the money was calculated, the melon farmer politely erased the change, took the money and left.

"In this way, the weight of these watermelons is about ten catties. One watermelon is cut into ten pieces, and each piece costs three Wen. If there are enough for eight people, they can be cut. Does anyone want to try something new?" Shopkeeper Zhao smiled, as if he didn't remember the past at all. Others mocked him.

Lu Siyu noticed it, but when shopkeeper Zhao said he wanted to buy all the watermelons, the man had already left in despair.

After hearing Shopkeeper Zhao's words, the rest of the people all laughed and scolded Shopkeeper Zhao for looking into the money, saying that the watermelon bought for [-] Wen could be sold for [-] Wen as soon as it changed hands, and they could still earn [-] Wen. , isn't it just a profit?

But in fact there are also watermelons that weigh 24 jin and 26 jin. Such a watermelon costs [-] or [-] renminbi, and selling it for [-] renminbi is really not profitable. You can eat one piece for three Wen. If you really don't want to, you can go to shopkeeper Zhao and buy a whole one.

"What do you mean, this restaurant is no longer mine. If it loses money, what should I do if the owner doesn't want me?" Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile. The reason why he doesn't mind being ridiculed is because Lu Siyu is standing here.

No one knew that Lu Siyu, who was the new owner of Lu's Restaurant, was the first to propose buying and selling watermelons. They were just joking with Shopkeeper Zhao, and then chatted about who the new owner of Lu's Restaurant was.

I don't know why, but now shopkeeper Zhao thinks very openly, his family is getting better and better, and his pressure is getting less and less, plus the monthly income is more than when he was his own boss, so Even the mood has improved a lot, and there is no taboo to make jokes.

"If you can't keep going, you can open another restaurant yourself." Someone laughed.

"Why don't you open it if you have the ability," Shopkeeper Zhao snarled, other jokes can be made, this joke... After all, Lu Siyu is still present, "Is there anyone who wants to eat watermelon? If anyone wants to eat, I will let Xiao Cut one out of two, it will be cheaper for you today, the big watermelon is still three pennies a piece, and the small watermelon is two pennies a piece, anyone want it?"

It is said that all watermelons weigh about ten catties, but there are also big and small ones, the bigger ones are eleven or two catties, and the smaller ones are available at eight or nine catties. Well, if it's really a loss-making business, how can an old fox like shopkeeper Zhao do it?

At the current price, it is a little less to earn, but everyone around today knows the price of watermelon, and there is no way to call it a high price.

However, after such words were released, soon some people began to speak, and they all expressed their desire to come and try something new.

Lu Siyu smiled slightly, and called Xiao Er: "Bring me a plate."

"Yes, Master." Xiaoer whispered, after the previous incident, he also knew that Lu Siyu didn't want his identity to be known, so he answered in a low voice.

Lu Siyu cut up the watermelon, put only three pieces on the plate, and handed over the rest to Xiaoer: "You guys share the half, and I'll take the one in the backyard later, let it soak first."

"Thank you, Master." Xiaoer's face was filled with joy. If it was him, he would definitely not buy such an expensive watermelon, so he was naturally delighted to hear Lu Siyu's words.

Lu Siyu took the plate and shook it before going upstairs to make the bell upstairs ring.

Hope the two have talked it over.

Lu Siyu went upstairs with three pieces of watermelon and opened the door of the box.

"Brother Zhuang, brother-in-law, I saw there was a watermelon seller downstairs, so I bought one." He put the plate on the table and sat in the previous position.

"Xiao Yu, you don't have to be so embarrassed. Some things are not secrets, and there is no need to hide them. Jin Han doesn't have many friends. Since he regards you as a friend, he naturally trusts you. You seem to be stingy if you keep hiding. "Song Jue said with a smile. Of course, his heart towards Lu Siyu is different from that of Zhuang Jinhan, but since Lu Siyu is Zhuang Jinhan's recognized friend, he will also regard him as his junior.

"My uncle is right, but there are some things I don't need to know." Lu Siyu smiled, he is not interested in knowing too much, the more he knows, the more troubles he will have, he is not a person who likes to cause trouble.

"There are some things you don't need to know, but there are some things you want to know. For example, don't you care about Jin Han's future?" Song Jue asked, suddenly curious about how Lu Siyu thought of his nephew.

"Brother Zhuang's future?" Lu Siyu asked back, "Brother Zhuang's future is definitely bright, there is no doubt about it."

Lu Siyu was very sure that Zhuang Jinhan's official career would go smoothly, not only because he had Prime Minister Zhuang and the emperor behind him, but also because of himself.

If he remembers correctly, when he first met Zhuang Jinhan, he was not a county magistrate, but at that time Zhuang Jinhan had already started to think about the common people. An official who would consider the common people must be a good official, let alone Zhuang Jinhan The background also allows him to display his ambitions without any worries.

"I also believe that even a small county can't keep him." Song Jue said, not sure if he was telling the truth or trying to persuade Zhuang Jinhan.

"Brother Zhuang is leaving?" Lu Siyu looked at Zhuang Jinhan.

"Perhaps." Zhuang Jinhan nodded, he had been hesitating whether to leave, he wanted to go up step by step by his own ability, but he also knew that this incident was indeed an excellent opportunity for him.

"I really want to go," Lu Siyu said sadly. Although Zhuang Jinhan didn't say it in a positive tone, he heard from Song Jue's tone that Zhuang Jinhan was more likely to leave. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt less confident. He said something, "When I thought that Brother Zhuang might be leaving, I suddenly felt a little bit reluctant."

"Brother Yu really misses me?" Zhuang Jinhan suddenly looked at Lu Siyu.

"Well," Lu Siyu nodded, since Zhuang Jinhan was leaving, he was not hypocritical, "Brother Zhuang and I have known each other for more than half a year. It seems that a lot of things have happened in the past six months, but no matter where Brother Zhuang is in the future, I will In my heart, Brother Zhuang has always been my friend."

Lu Siyu came to this world suddenly, in a strange world, surrounded by his lovely and sensible siblings, caring uncle couple and second uncle couple, although many people have their own little problems, but fortunately in the village Everyone's not bad.

Zhuang Jinhan was also someone he knew earlier.

Two people who logically had no intersection at all became friends.

"No matter where Brother Zhuang goes in the future, I will respect Brother Zhuang with... watermelon instead of wine." Lu Siyu thought for a while, picked up a piece of watermelon, and said with a smile.

"It's a bit unusual to use watermelon instead of wine," Song Jue laughed aside, took a piece of watermelon and patted Zhuang Jinhan's shoulder, "Jinhan, look at Xiaoyu, she's much more open-minded than you, a man, you should Traveling all over the world, what is the matter of staying in this small county like you all the time."

Zhuang Jinhan got up slowly, picked up the last piece of watermelon, and his eyes fell on Lu Siyu, feeling an indescribable loss in his heart.

"Thank you Brother Yu."

The iced watermelon that has been "quick-frozen" in well water tastes good. It is not only sweet, but also cool in your mouth, which is very refreshing.

The three of them ate the watermelon, and picked up a clean towel beside them to wipe their hands clean.

Lu Siyu looked at Song Jue, then at Zhuang Jinhan, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know where Brother Zhuang is going next? Of course, if you can't say it, you don't have to say it."

He said hastily, a little embarrassed, he obviously said before that he didn't want to know, but now he asked again, it seemed like he wanted to slap himself in the face.

It was only because the other party was Zhuang Jinhan that he couldn't help being curious. If it was someone else, he would never ask.

"Overseas." This time it was Zhuang Jinhan who spoke, "The emperor means to send a fleet of ships overseas, and it is best to exchange for something that our country does not have. This time, it is not only the emperor, but also the emperor's intention. It has been prepared long ago, but there has been no action, it is because of your sweet potatoes that the emperor has such an idea again, and plans to act immediately."

Lu Siyu listened, a little dumbfounded.

Isn't this just "Zheng He's voyages to the West"? Speaking of which, he probably estimated before that the dynasty at this time was probably about the same as the Ming Dynasty in the history books he learned in his previous life. In this way, the country has indeed gone to sea. Strength.

But what are you looking for when you go out to sea?I even made a steam engine for you. If you want anything, I will buy it for you on Taobao. Taobao has everything!

Lu Siyu was thinking silently in his heart, but he didn't show any emotion on his face. Of course he couldn't tell about the existence of Taobao. He also knew that an emperor suddenly wanted to go to sea. It was definitely not a simple exploration. idea.

Just at this time, is there America?

"If you are sure to leave, when will you leave?" Lu Siyu asked.

"One month later," Zhuang Jinhan replied, "but the emperor only gave me three days, and I must give him an answer within three days. At that time, there must be an answer whether to leave or stay. If I am determined to leave , this position must be replaced by someone."

The position that Zhuang Jinhan was talking about was naturally the magistrate's position. He was leaving, but there was no shortage of people in the county government, so someone had to take over.

"Will a new magistrate come?" Lu Siyu asked.

"Well," Zhuang Jinhan nodded, "But Xiao Yu, don't worry, the new county magistrate must be someone close to his father. I will let you know in advance, and he will not make things difficult for you."

Before Zhuang Jinhan served as the magistrate, Lu Siyu could easily solve whatever problems he encountered. If he changed to a magistrate who didn't know the situation, he didn't know if he would trip Lu Siyu, so Zhuang Jinhan had already made a plan in his heart, and he must not Let people bully Lu Siyu.

Lu Siyu didn't think about this question for the time being, but thought of another thing: "Brother Zhuang, if he encounters any novel plants when he goes overseas, can he bring them back?"

He has always wanted to introduce cotton, but this year it is mainly used for sweet potatoes, and there is no extra land to grow cotton. He can buy cotton seeds on Taobao at any time, but if Zhuang Jinhan brought them back from overseas , the source is better explained.

"Brother Yu doesn't know much about plants, why don't Brother Yu go overseas with me?" Zhuang Jinhan said suddenly, his eyes full of excitement.
