Translator: Henyee Translations       Editor: Henyee Translations

Every year in summers, only those with important status in the mansion would be able to get a few, and concubines as well as disgraced children of concubines would normally get at most one.

Watermelons were the best fruit for summer, and those at the mansion loved it. So did he, though he did not have much knowledge about farming.

Watermelons were never large in number because it was never easy to take care of the fruit. The watermelons would not grow well due to the constant, heavy rain in May and June.

Therefore, there were very few watermelons that were available every year.

The Shao Family had offered two very well-grown watermelons of a large size and it seemed that they did not think that those were precious. That surprised Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong.

When the watermelon was cut open, the sweetness was all over the place. Qiao Xuan asked Liu Yan to served some slices to Ms. Fang and Shao Dalang whilst telling the two young masters to have a taste.

“Try and see if our watermelons taste sweet. We all think it is quite sweet.”

Seeing the juicy and red flesh, Yuezheng Xiao could not wait but take a bite of it. The juice went in his mouth and gave him a wonderful feeling.

Yuezheng Xiao ate and said, “It tastes much better tha_n the watermelons at my home. Brother Shao, you have so much treasure at home, I would like to have two when I leave.”

Everyone laughed.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Sure, we have so many in the yard!”

That was true. They had found the buds from the mountain, and everyone in the family was already used to seeing them grow so vividly. At first they believed that these were rare things, but now, the family treated them just as ordinary fruits.

Moved, Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “If the watermelons are all in this size and taste this good, they can sell well in the town. Brother Shao, and Mrs. Shao, how many more do you have? Can we fill two wagons with watermelons and take them away?!

They would arrive in the town by evening if they departed early in the morning. They could sell the watermelons early next morning. It was going to be a good business day.

Although two wagons of watermelons would give Yuezheng Xiao very little profit, these watermelons would definitely be well-loved in this season of the year.

Also, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had so much treasure and they should establish some friendship so as to strengthen their business ties.

Seeing the watermelons growing bigger and better, Qiao Xuan was also thinking about what to do with them. She smiled with joy. “1n a couple of days, we are going to have many watermelons ready. Two wagons are definitely no problem! Young Master Yuezheng, you have solved the problem for us! I was going to let Manager Qin help me sell them.”

Yuezheng Xiao laughed. “Our trip is totally worth the while! It’s a deal then. I will vet someone to fetch the watermelons in three dav_R_ what ahont 2 aian for one watermelon?”

They had no scale at that time, and it was difficult to weigh them. So when Yuezheng Xiao said so, Qiao Xuan agreed readily. 3 qian for one watermelon was way beyond what she had planned.

Qiao Xuan nodded happily.

The four of them talked for a while, after which Qiao Xuan handed over the 1,200 lipsticks to Yuezheng Xiao. She also gave ten lipsticks to Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong respectively as gifts..
