624 A Basket of Cherries
The special fruits sold by Lin Yuelan were not only expensive but also limited in quantity. Even if you had money, you couldn’t buy them.
If it weren’t for Lin yuelan’s friendship with them and the fact that she would give them some special fruits to try after a period of time, it would be difficult for him to buy those fruits even if his father was a County Magistrate. Moreover, if he bought them every day, even if they had some wealth, they couldn’t afford it.
However, the magistrate suddenly sent a letter asking for cherries. This was really a little difficult to deal with.
Zhou Changsheng looked at Zhou Wencai and immediately had a fawning smile on his face. He said, ” Wen ‘Er, look…”
Even he couldn’t buy cherries from Lin yuelan. Therefore, it depended on Zhou Wencai’s relationship with Lin yuelan to see if he could obtain them. Then, he could buy some and send them to magistrate Ji Zhongcai.
When Zhou Wencai heard Zhou Changsheng’s words, he shook his head with a bitter smile and said, ” father, sister Yuelan is usually easy to talk to, but she has her principles. She’s already giving us these cherry fruits on account of our friendship. If we’re not satisfied with this and want to ask for more, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult.”
Zhou Changsheng was shocked. “son, we’re not asking for it. We’re buying it from her. Can’t we? ”
However, Zhou Wencai shook his head and said, ” that lass will sell these special fruits, but she will sell them to the highest bidder. She will only sell them if she thinks that this price is good enough. Father, how much do you think we can pay for this? Moreover, that girl has already said that the cherries have been sold out. If you want to buy more, you will have to wait for a few more days.”
When Zhou Changsheng heard this, he held the letter in one hand and stroked his beard with the other. He frowned and said, ” what do we do then? ”
Zhou Wencai smiled helplessly and said, ” the Prefectural magistrate’s intentions are so obvious. It seems like I will make a trip to the Lin family Village.
Zhou Changsheng nodded. “okay, you can go then!”
boxn ovel. c0mZhou Wencai’s face immediately darkened. He said to his father, ” father, I’m going to help you. What’s with your nonchalant attitude? ”
Zhou Changsheng just smiled and didn’t answer.
…
Lin Yuelan was at home, thinking about whether to sell durians or cantaloupes next. A servant immediately came to report, ” master, young master Zhou is waiting for you in the living room!
Lin Yuelan raised her brows, somewhat surprised that Zhou Wencai had come to the Lin family Village to find her in such cold weather.
Lin Yuelan immediately stored the durians and cantaloupes on the table in her interspace. Then, she walked out of the house and saw Zhou Wencai drinking tea in the living room. She smiled and said, ” what a rare guest. You came to the Lin family Village to suffer from the cold in such cold weather. I’m afraid you didn’t come here for no reason.”
Zhou Wencai took a sip of hot tea to warm his body before putting down the teacup. When he heard Lin yuelan’s teasing, he said with a bitter smile, ” sister Yue ‘Er, you’re right. This time, big brother Zhou has come to ask for your help!”
Lin yuelan immediately asked in surprise, ” Oh, there’s actually something that can trouble you in An Ding County? ”
Zhou Wencai shook his head and said, ” if it’s just matters within anding County, it might not be a problem for me. But what’s troubling me now is precisely matters without An Ding County.”
Lin yuelan raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, ” Oh? Then tell me, what is it that you need me, a farmer’s daughter, to solve?”
Zhou Wencai didn’t say a word. All he did was take out a letter and hand it to Lin yuelan. “sister yuelan, take a look at this letter first. You’ll naturally know what’s happening.”
Lin yuelan took it and looked at it. Then, she smiled and said, ” Oh, Brother Zhou, it’s just a few catties of cherries. It’s not a big deal. I’ll give you two baskets in a while for you to give them to Ji Zhongcai, the prefect lord. ” Why wouldn’t she do Lord Zhou a favor?
One basket was about five catties, and two baskets were only ten catties.
Upon hearing that, Zhou Wencai was immediately taken aback.
He clearly remembered that Lin yuelan was a little money-grubber, and it was really difficult for ordinary people to get a single copper from her hands. Moreover, the things she sold were all very expensive. Even people who were familiar with her would not give a discount.
