Chapter 262 Return Gift
"How come I've never heard of this watermelon? It looks like this. It's really good to eat in summer." Xie Mingzhu ate one piece and then took another one. Chunzhi behind her also got a piece of watermelon.
"Cousin, is this the only melon ripe? Are the others ripe?" After Xie Mingzhu finished eating, she felt it was not enough and went to look at Tang Qiyue next to her.
Tang Qiyue thought for a moment and said, "There should be quite a few ripe melons, but I didn't look closely."
If one is cooked, the others are almost as cooked.
"Then I want to eat more!"
"Zhaobao wants to eat too." Zhaobao only got a palm-sized piece of watermelon. His lips were covered with watermelon juice. He looked at Tang Qiyue pitifully.
Tang Lao San wiped his mouth and said, "It's delicious. One piece is not enough!"
"July, let's go pick another one to eat? It's just right for eating watermelon in this hot weather!" Lin also spoke.
Tang Qingshu, who was standing next to him, almost ate the watermelon rind and said, "When the weather is hot, you can put the watermelon in the well water to cool it down. It will definitely taste better."
Tang Qiyue looked at the dozen pairs of expectant eyes and said softly, "If you want to eat, go pick them. There are a lot of melons in the field, enough for everyone to eat."
Tang Qiyue didn't keep a record of exactly how many watermelons she had. She had planted them originally to give her family a fruit to eat to cool off in the summer, not to make money from the watermelons.
"I want one too!" When a group of people were getting ready to pick melons together, a familiar shout came from the yard!
"Young master, I want watermelon, fruit, and fish too!" The person who came over with the anxious voice was China Resources, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Judging from his dusty appearance, it was obvious that he was in a hurry.
Hua Run entered the main hall and bowed to Xie Changjin and Xie Mingzhu before saying hastily, "No, leave some for me!"
As he said that, he quickly snatched the remaining piece of watermelon from Qingfeng's hand and ate it in one bite, "Delicious! I want it!"
Qingfeng was so angry that he grabbed his neck and said, "What are you doing?"
As soon as Tang Qiyue saw him, she knew why he came, "Why are you here?"
Xie Mingzhu was not interested in this, and followed Tang Laosan and Lin to the melon field to pick melons. Although this proud princess had a hot temper since she came to Baile Village, she was still very down-to-earth.
She would usually help Lin feed the chickens and would also go around the fields bought by the Tang family. The villagers stared at her curiously, but she did not whip them angrily.
In Xie Changjin's words, Xie Mingzhu suddenly became enlightened and became much softer.
Wherever Tang Qiyue was, Xie Changjin would be there, so Tang Qiyue didn't go to pick melons, and Xie Changjin didn't go either. Zhao Bao, who wanted to go out and play, was carried by Tang Qingshu and went along.
"Let's go, Zhaobao. Uncle will pick the biggest watermelon for you, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" The giggling voice of Milk Ball gradually faded away.
"Really? Even though I only took a bite of your watermelon, I will definitely make a lot of money!" Huarun said excitedly.
Tang Qiyue rolled her eyes at him. This guy would always be there wherever there was money to be made!
"Not for sale." Tang Qiyue refused without thinking.
"Why! Such delicious melons, why don't you want to sell them to the people?"
Tang Qiyue said word by word, "Because I don't even have enough for myself! You can have fish or fruits from the back mountain, but I don't grow many watermelons, only enough for my family."
There might not be enough for her own family to eat, so there was no way she would sell it.
Huarun suddenly looked depressed and said, "Can't you just sell me a hundred?"
"No! If you want to eat, you can take two away, but we really don't have a large quantity." Tang Qiyue still refused sternly.
"Then sell me the watermelon seeds and I'll grow them myself!" Huarun missed the watermelon so much, but he could only eat two. How could that be possible!
Tang Qiyue didn't refuse and nodded, "Okay."
"Okay then. I want watermelon seeds. I want as many as I can get. I want fish too!"
So, after Tang Qiuyue gave him the melon seeds, he immediately took people to the rice fields to catch fish. He happened to meet Shopkeeper Li who was also fishing, and the two sides almost fought over the fish.
But Manager Li only wanted one hundred fish, and the rest were all bought by China Resources!
Village Chief Fu and his family, who had raised fish together, took the silver and burst into tears, and unanimously decided to come to the Tang family to thank Tang Qiyue. Many of them made more than ten taels of silver from raising fish, and they specially brought eggs and chickens to Tang Qiyue, and thought that all the good things would be sent to the Tang family.
Village Chief Fu took the lead, "Qiyue girl, thanks to you, the people in the village have made a lot of money by raising fish! I see there are still many small fish in the rice fields. When they grow up in a while, we can make a lot of money again."
Tang Qiyue waved her hand. "When I first proposed that everyone follow me, I also wanted to take a gamble. Now that the gamble is right, everyone will have a good life."
There are still many families who don't believe in Tang Qiuyue. They didn't make any money from growing peppers last time, and now they don't make any money from raising fish. They are all very upset at home.
But he didn't dare to come to the Tang family to reason with Tang Qiyue, and just waited to find Village Chief Fu to cry to.
They are both jealous and unwilling to see others making money, and now they are determined to follow whatever Tang Qiyue does in the future!
"Without you, our lives wouldn't be so easy! After you bought the mountain, the strong laborers in the village went to the mountain every day to tend it, and they earned a lot of money every day!"
"With the money, we can eat well and have enough food. The children at home have gained a lot of weight and their clothes are cleaner."
Village Chief Fu was very emotional. Now no one knew that the current Crown Prince of Jin's wife was from Baile Village in Linjiang Town, and the sauce that the whole dynasty liked was also from Linjiang Town.
The small and shabby Linjiang Town has now become well-known all over the world. Many people come here because of its reputation. Baile Village has also become rich. It is no longer the poorest village.
Whenever Village Chief Fu thought of this, he couldn't help but shed tears. He had led the villagers for so many years and had finally reached the current stage. He was worthy of his ancestors and the old village chiefs before him!
Tang Qiyue looked at the tearful Village Chief Fu, and exchanged glances with Xie Changjin. There was helplessness in each of their eyes.
Tang Qiyue accepted the eggs, vegetables, chickens and ducks sent by the villagers. She was not stingy and gave gifts to several families in return, including a box of cakes and a piece of royal blue cloth to each family.
Her return gift was definitely much more expensive than what others gave her, but Tang Qiyue didn't care. What she cared about was that these people remembered the people who dug the well when they drank the water, and she was very satisfied with that.
Xie Mingzhu and his friends came back from picking melons.
Tang Qiyue thought that they would probably pick a lot, but she didn't expect that everyone who went there would hold a big watermelon, including Xie Mingzhu, who always liked cleanliness and also held a big watermelon that was covered with mud, and the corners of her skirt were stained with mud.
Zhaobao was too small to hold the watermelon, so he followed behind with his short legs, panting.
Tang Qiyue looked at the group of people coming in and twitched her lips in surprise.
