Chapter 879: sell lychees

   Chapter 879 Selling Lychees

   Murong Lingran immediately let go of the big stone in her heart. She once thought that lychees are tributes. If the court does not want her to sell them, or even donate them to Xuanqing for free, what will she do then.

  Fortunately, everything was just her overthinking.

   However, although it is about to be sold, she knows that if she releases the news that there are lychees in Xiaohuangshan, it will definitely attract a lot of people.

  Although she arranged a vigil, there was always a time for people to nap.

   So some time ago, she recruited some young people in Lihua Village to be responsible for guarding the small barren mountain at night.

Although it is very hard to stay up all night, some people in the village are not yet working. In addition, Murong Lingran spends more hard time staying up late at night and hurts her health. Every seven days, she gives an old hen to nourish her body as a welfare, every seven days. You can take turns taking a day off, and those people will have no opinion.

   also bought seven big dogs from the city to be on guard with them.

   With black hair, those dogs are very obedient, and she doesn't need to worry about it at all.

  So a few days later, after sending off Helian Rongjiu's dark guard, the lychees opened to Ye Zhai for sale.

Murong Lingran originally thought that the lychee business would not be very good in the first half hour, because most of the people who came to buy were the servants of Gaomen's mansion. She didn't think that all of them had seen lychees, and not necessarily all of them. All are literate.

But what she didn't know was that Helian Rongjiu had already done a propaganda for her at the court meeting a few days ago, and those courtiers had asked their buyers to draw and write the appearance and writing of lychees respectively. On the drawings, let the person who buys memorize it by heart.

   Every day when I go to Zhiye Zhai to buy vegetables and fruits or pass by, I will pay attention to whether there are lychees.

This morning, as usual, there was another long queue early in the morning to buy strawberries. Not long after that, I saw a woman hanging a sign at the door, which read: "New arrival today, lychee, a couple of bucks. One catty of silver, the quantity is limited, first come, first served, each person is limited to five catties per day."

   Now, some of the people in the queue couldn't hold back, and they all started to riot.

   After waiting for several days, the master of the family also talked about it for several days, but finally let them wait.

Some people wanted to jump in the queue, but it didn't take long for several teams of patrolmen to keep patrolling around Zhiye Zhai, and those who were a little restless in the back had to resign themselves to their fate and lined up obediently, comforting themselves: With the purchase limit, only one person can buy five pounds, and it will definitely be their turn.

  Some people started talking about the price that Murong Lingran set.

   "One tael of fruit and one pound of fruit makes Ye Zhai really dare to write."

   "What's not to dare, it's lychees. We never had the chance to meet them in previous years. Only emperors and princes and ministers can eat them. Now we can buy them, and we are lucky."

"That's right, lychee is a tribute. I heard that the person who made Zhiye Zhai is a little girl. I think it's too kind. If it were me, I would settle for 10 taels or 22 1 jin. Anyway, there are many rich people in the capital. There are also many people who want to eat, so they don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it.”

   "Then you're too black-hearted. Isn't that obvious to make people jealous of you? No matter what, you must give ordinary people some opportunities. Otherwise, you can only watch and not eat, it will be too painful."

   "Yes, people like you in the government will definitely be arrested in the name of your price gouging."
