Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

She was secretly delighted in her heart, as this not only showed her girlish cuteness, but also did not seem rude. After all, the other person was so generous and thoughtful, it seemed unreasonable not to accept his kindness.

The group left the gorgeously decorated jewelry store with laughter.

Zhang Wuya's eyes were attracted by the colorful fruit stalls nearby, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "Mom, can we buy some fresh fruits to take home and try? In Chengguan County, it's rare to see such a rich fruit market. I've been here for so long, but apart from the few times I ate grapefruit in winter, I really haven't enjoyed other fruits."

"Good idea, let's go to the market now."

Xu Liyun is also a fruit lover. Upon hearing this, she immediately agreed, her face full of longing.

Ling Wen frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Aunt, this fruit is not easy to buy. High-quality fruits are extremely rare, and most of them will be tributed to the palace first. The remaining ones will be reserved by powerful families early. If ordinary people want to taste it, unless they grow it at home, it is really difficult to get it."

Xiao Youniang was shocked and thought to herself, if she could really turn the mountain behind into a fruit forest, wouldn't it instantly become an inexhaustible source of wealth?

Zhang Ming took advantage of the opportunity and acted like a learned man. "Things are valuable because they are rare. This has been the case since ancient times."

Xiao You's mother rolled her eyes at her slightly ostentatious brother, thinking that he had only studied for a few days and yet he was already so impatient to show off his knowledge.

However, Xu Liyun was not willing to give up. "It's a rare trip to the state capital, we should go to the market and have a look. Who knows, we might find a fruit shop."

The group strolled leisurely for about half an hour and arrived at the largest and busiest vegetable market in Yanzhou.

At the other end of the market, there are several porcelain shops neatly arranged, and the exquisite porcelain sparkles with a warm luster in the sun.

Zhang Wuya walked up quickly and asked a friendly shop owner, "Excuse me, is there any fruit shop nearby?"

The shopkeeper thought they were here to buy porcelain, but when he found out they were just asking for directions, he didn't get angry. He pointed to a narrow alley and said, "There's a shop in there. You'll see it in a few steps."

"Thank you so much, I wish your business will be prosperous and your money will flow in."

Zhang Wuya responded politely and pulled her mother and sister towards the alley.

Soon, they found a small but unique shop in an inconspicuous corner. On its signboard were written four big characters "Xiantao Descending" in vigorous calligraphy, which had a certain immortal connotation.

Xiao Youniang silently gave a thumbs up in her heart. The name of this store is so interesting and creative. She wonders if the fruits inside are really like things from fairyland and so tempting.

As you walk into the store, a light fruity aroma hits your nose.

The boss was not overly enthusiastic. He simply looked up at everyone and then lowered his head to continue his work. "Sir, call me when you are ready. I will help you weigh it."

There were not many fruits displayed on the stand, and the varieties were also limited. They were small in size, and there were a few slightly flawed fruits placed separately in a bamboo basket, which was particularly eye-catching.

These are all seasonal fruits: golden loquats, dark purple mulberries, bright red apples, green mountain peaches, sour and sweet hawthorns, and snow-white pears.

The quantity of each fruit is limited, with only a dozen left in each basket, making them extremely precious.

Xu Liyun picked up a golden loquat and was about to put it in her mouth to taste it, but was quickly stopped by the boss, "Madam, it is better to weigh it first and then taste it, so that it is easier to calculate uniformly."

A hint of surprise flashed through Xiao Youniang's mind. This boss was too stingy. He couldn't even let her taste a piece of fruit?

The boss seemed to see her dissatisfaction and explained quickly: "You don't know, if there is no restriction, the number of people coming to taste the fruits every day will be enough to line up from here to Xiangyu Tower in town. These fruits come all the way from Chengzhou, not only is the cost high, but the loss during transportation is also not to be underestimated, so we have to take this approach."

Zhang Laoer felt a little sympathy after hearing this. He patted the boss on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, we all understand. It's really not easy to do business. Just weigh it."

Seeing that there was no hope for tasting, Xu Liyun decided to buy the fruit directly. "Boss, give me two kilograms of each fruit."

"Two catties? Madam, you have to think carefully. Apart from hawthorn and peach, the rest are very expensive. One catty of loquat costs one tael of silver."

The boss explained patiently, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

"Oh, it's really worth a lot of money."

Xu Liyun thought about it and thought about her children's love for fruits, so she had to carefully select a few that they particularly liked.

The young lady was very curious and couldn't help asking, "Boss, are all these fruits imported from Chengzhou?"

The boss nodded in confirmation. "Yes, except for hawthorns and peaches which are harvested locally, the rest are shipped from Chengzhou. It is said that some of the tribute fruits in the palace also come from the two famous large orchards in Chengzhou."

His words were full of pride, as if being associated with such an orchard was something worth showing off.

Zhang Mingyi immediately understood. No wonder the boss was not very welcoming. It turned out that the fruits he had were not difficult to sell. There were always wealthy people who came to him to make reservations.

Although Xu Liyun didn't choose much, she still spent a full eight taels of silver when she checked out, which was heartbreaking.

At this time, Ling Wen, who had been quiet all the time, suddenly broke the silence: "Aunt, if everyone in your family likes to eat fruit, I can help you transport it from Chengzhou."

A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Youniang's eyes, as if she saw a new opportunity. "Do you know the exact location of the orchard? Can you help me buy some fruit tree seedlings? Any kind is fine."

Although Ling Wen was unsure, he still readily agreed, "Give me some time, I will try my best to arrange it."

He did this perhaps because he was grateful for their life-saving grace and wanted to repay them.

At this time, the setting sun has begun to slowly sink into the horizon, and the sky is dyed with a gentle orange-red color.

"It's getting late. We should go back. Xiao Hei is still waiting at the Niu Ma Post Station."

Grandpa Zhang looked at the sky and suggested returning home.

Zhang Lao Er nodded and agreed, "We have almost finished playing today, so let's go to the post station."

The group returned to the post station and took the loyal Xiao Hei with them. Ling Wen carefully moved the purchased items into the carriage one by one, "Then I won't disturb your family reunion. I'll leave first."

"Be careful on the road, Lingwen. Come to our house again when you have the chance."

Grandpa Zhang said goodbye politely and got on the carriage.

As soon as the carriage left the city, the setting sun slowly disappeared below the horizon, leaving a soft afterglow on the way home.

"Hold on tight. I'm going to speed up. I hope to get back to Chengguan County before night falls completely."

Zhang Laoer looked at the darkening sky and reminded everyone in the car.
