Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Gu Yunxi smiled and didn't take her mother-in-law's words to heart.

On the other side, news soon spread throughout the town that anyone who went to the town's largest restaurant, Lianxiang Restaurant, would get a small plate of cold melon for free.

The cold melon is juicy and sweet. Many people have never eaten it, and it has won praise from many people.

Many people want to know where they buy such delicious cold melons?

However, Shopkeeper Wu from Lianxianglou just smiled and said that he had specially commissioned someone to buy it.

When the people in the town found out that they bought it from the Lu family, everyone flocked to the Lu family. Some even went to the melon field in Xipogou, clamoring to buy melons.

Father Lu was surprised. Why do these people look a little crazy?

He was a little uneasy and couldn't decide what to do with these people.

So, Father Lu ran to ask Gu Yunxi: "Yunxi, do you want to sell our melons to them? There are so many people coming here every day. If we don't sell them, will something happen?"

Many people came to watch the melon fields every day. Father Lu was worried that someone would steal the melons, so he asked the village chief to call all the young men in the village to guard the melon fields day and night.

Dozens of young men earn sixty cents a day, which is one or two taels of silver a day. However, the Lu family did not take this little money seriously.

Gu Yunxi frowned, looked at the door of Lu's house, and saw many unfamiliar faces, and sighed.

The bottom line is that too many people know that the Lu family has grown cold melons and cannot be saved.

She thought for a while and said, "Dad, why don't you discuss with Shopkeeper Wu to see if the restaurant can sell these cold melons?"

"We still sell it to restaurants at a price of forty cents per catty, and let these people go to restaurants to buy it."

“As for how much they sell, that’s their business.”

Father Lu suddenly slapped his forehead, thinking, his daughter-in-law's head is better!

These few words will solve the problem! If Shopkeeper Wu takes over, it will only be good for the restaurant, and there will be no harm.

Shopkeeper Wu should be willing! Father Lu thought about it and happily drove the carriage to the town.

Sure enough, Shopkeeper Wu, who learned of Father Lu's intention, agreed.

Just like that, Father Lu hurried back to find someone to continue picking a thousand pounds, and asked shopkeeper Wu to send someone to the restaurant.

A notice was posted in front of Lu’s house in Xijiang Village, asking anyone who needed to buy cold melons to go to Lianxiang House.

Within a day or two, everyone knew that they would go to Lianxiang Tower to buy melons from now on.

Lianxianglou's business has really improved a lot because of the cold melons, and they have made a lot of money. Shopkeeper Wu is full of gratitude to the Lu family.

At the same time, Gu Yunyan in Dongpo Village also learned that there were cold melons with excellent taste in the town. She had never eaten cold melons in her whole life!

Gu Yunyan's father, Uncle Gu, went to Fucheng, so she had no choice but to act coquettishly with her mother, Mrs. Wu, and wanted Mrs. Wu to buy some and come back to try it.

Mrs. Wu was complaining in her heart. She heard from the villagers that a cold melon was sold for hundreds of cash. It was so expensive. How could she have any money?

Mother and daughter have been at home for several days now. Mrs. Gu admitted her mistake at the beginning, but now she has returned to her true nature. She is ordered to do this or that every day.

She felt bitter but couldn't express it. Now that Gu Yunhong was preparing to take the provincial examination, she was worried that if she didn't pay attention, some bad rumors would leak out and have an impact on Gu Yunhong.

Therefore, she could endure it as long as she could and waited until the Yunhong Provincial Examination was over.

Mrs. Wu was just thinking, looking at the door in a daze, when her eldest sister-in-law and her eldest nephew Wu Xuan walked in.

Wu's sister-in-law, Yao, smiled and shouted to Wu: "Little sister, little sister."

Wu Xuan also shouted: "Auntie!"

Wu came to her senses suddenly and said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, brother Xuan, why are you here?"

She had been back in the village for several days, and she hadn't seen her parents say a word about Yunhong's participation in the provincial examination. Now that Yunhong was gone, they had turned around.

Wu was a little unhappy. She remembered that her sister-in-law Yao had said a few days ago that she wanted to marry Gu Yunyan for Wu Xuan. Now she felt even more uncomfortable, and the expression she looked at her sister-in-law became a little lighter.

Yao didn't seem to notice, minding his own business, and placed the things Wu Xuan was carrying on the table.

Mrs. Gu walked out of the house and happened to see Mrs. Yao laying out gifts, so she hurriedly came over with a smile on her face.

"Oh, her sister-in-law, you can come as soon as you say, why are you so polite? Why are you bringing so many things!"

Mrs. Gu said nicely, but her hands involuntarily opened the gift box and opened the basket covered with cloth.

"Ah! Her sister-in-law, what is this?"

Mrs. Gu pointed to the cold melon in the basket and asked in surprise. She had never seen this thing before, and she didn't know where Wu's sister-in-law got it from.

Yao was a little disdainful of Mrs. Gu's behavior in her heart, but in front of everyone, she did not show it at all, but explained with a smile: "Grandma, this is called cold melon, and it has been very popular in town recently. ah."

"You haven't eaten it yet, have you? Oops, it's a lucky coincidence that I brought one for you to try."

"This melon is not cheap. It costs fifty cents per catty! This one costs more than two hundred cents."

Yao's frivolous words made Wu feel a little uncomfortable. This sister-in-law seemed to look down on them and deliberately showed off in front of them. What was she proud of?

When her family Yunhong passes the exam, she can buy as much of these things as she wants and eat as much as she wants.

That is to say, the mother-in-law has shallow eyes and makes a big fuss here over a small favor.

At this time, Mrs. Gu was really shocked by the price of this melon. She rubbed her eyes vigorously. Such a melon cost more than 200 yuan! Stealing money!

Mrs. Gu picked up the melon, rushed into the kitchen, took a knife, and chopped it down.

Instantly, the cold melon juice flowed out along the opened slit. Mrs. Gu was a little surprised, cut another small piece, picked it up and ate it.

"Well, well, sister-in-law, this melon tastes really good! Why don't you bring a few more? This one is not enough for me and Yunyan's father!"

Mrs. Gu was eating by herself, and her cheeks were rubbed against the flesh of the melon, which was red and looked a little scary.

Yao held back her disdain in her heart and said with a faint smile: "As my grandma said, this melon costs more than 200 yuan a piece, and it is very popular. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. The restaurant has restrictions, and one household can only buy it at most." I can buy five.”

"Our family keeps three for ourselves, my parents have one, and I gave one to my little sister. There are no more."

When Mrs. Gu heard what Yao said, her face was a little embarrassed and she stopped talking. She just kept chewing the melon.

Gu Yunyan originally held back and wanted to wait until her aunt and cousin left before eating. This was the cold melon that she had longed for.

At this time, she saw Mrs. Gu devouring it. She was afraid that Mrs. Gu would eat it all, and regardless of her image, she rushed over, grabbed a piece and put it in her mouth.
