Chapter 1482: Large Orders
After a while, the kitchen cook also carried the basket and came over. The quality of the watermelon was indeed well preserved. Master Li was very satisfied, "Uncle Li, you go back and bring me a hundred watermelons. A little more is fine. ."
Steward Li originally wanted to stay in Fucheng for a few more days, but thinking that the watermelon is very seasonal, he also added the round-trip transportation time in the past few days. If he goes back late, it may delay the Lord’s gift, "Yes, Lord, The old slave will clean up tomorrow morning and go home."
After all, he has to reconcile the account with the accountant in the mansion this afternoon, and then his wife signs for it before he can go back.
Sun Meimei in the backyard got the package sent by the housekeeper. She was grateful and thanked the housekeeper again and again, and then she took the things to the house.
Seeing two good pieces of cloth in the package, Sun Meimei wiped her eyes. It seemed that life at home was better than she had imagined, and she was relieved.
Seeing that there was a letter in it, Sun Meimei checked it word by word. While happy, she also wanted to go home earlier.
The mother in the letter said that during the Chinese New Year, when the lady master returns, they will redeem her with money. There are still a few months away, she must be patient.
I heard that Steward Li was going back tomorrow, Sun Meimei hurriedly wrote a letter, and then gave her sister some silk flowers that she had bought with the lady some time ago, and a silver hairpin for her mother. As for the inconvenience for father and younger brother, it was put in the package, so she waited until she returned to buy them.
Knowing that her parents are thinking of him, Sun Meimei feels more confident and misses her hometown.
Steward Li came back eagerly and directly ordered one hundred and thirty watermelons.
"Ocean, you must give me a good selection of watermelons this time. This is what our grandfather is going to use to give to Shangguan or colleagues." Steward Li confessed, "If it is done well, we will all have rewards, and there will be good days in the future. , If something goes wrong, we are all over."
Sun Dahai now knows watermelons very well, and confidently said: "The last time I gave you eight-ripe watermelons, should they still be good when I get there?"
"The eight-ripe watermelons are just delicious after they get there. It seems that they can be left for a few days." Steward Li replied, "You will choose the watermelons for me according to the eight-ripe standards. If it is not enough, you will choose the seven-ripe watermelons. , I can’t choose the nine-ripe ones for me, otherwise the watermelon will be overripe and spoiled without eating it there.”
"Housekeeper Li, don't worry, our seven-ripe watermelon can be fully matured in four days, but don't worry, it can be left for eight to twelve days later. The taste is the same as the nine-ripe watermelon." Sun Dahai explained He said, "Oh, take a break, I'll take two children to choose watermelons for you. By the way, I still need baskets this time. How many baskets can I ask?"
"I brought back the ones I used last time. You will help order one hundred more this time." Steward Li said, "The quality of the basket must be good, otherwise the frame on the road will be broken and the watermelon will be broken."
Sun Erlang went to Old Man Hu's house and talked about the situation here. It just so happened that Old Man Hu's house had a total of 150 baskets, enough for them.
I heard that there were enough baskets, Sun Dahai felt relieved, and continued to pick watermelons with his two sons.
Finally, after more than an hour, I picked one hundred and thirty watermelons, all of which were mature, and carefully placed them in the baskets that had already been filled with hay.
