Zhu Houzhao brought this melon to the place for money, but obviously, he actually asked Zhang Heling to eat it for free. How could he not be angry?

Fang Jifan pulled Zhu Houzhao's sleeve, signaling him not to talk too much.

At this time, it is necessary to make people taste it, otherwise it is very clear that their melons are good melons.

It would be better if Shouning Hou came to try it. After all, Fang Jifan had some rifts with their brothers before, and when will the revenge be revenge?

When Zhang Heling heard this, he cheered up: "Don't have money?"

"No money!" Fang Jifan said in a bold manner, "I have always admired Uncle Shi, so I will cut a piece."

Zhang Heling's eyes were straight. He would not take advantage of it, but would not insult his ancestors.

Zhang Yanling hurriedly came over and said with a greedy look on his face: "I eat too, I'm hungry."

"Okay, okay." Fang Jifan sincerely wanted to ease his relationship with the Zhang brothers. He was hated by such a pair of brothers who had done a lot of bad things. Sometimes he really couldn't sleep!

He picked up the watermelon knife, took a melon, and in full view of everyone, he really divided the watermelon into two.

The watermelon juice flowed out instantly, and the civil and military officials opened their eyes one by one. They smelled the fragrance of the melon, but also saw the rich juice flowing out.

It's really a melon...

It's really... it's melon...

At this moment, many people were shocked, but they couldn't help but drool.

After all, this melon hasn't tasted it for more than half a year. At this time, a melon was cut out in front of me, which really... felt like it was indescribable.

Fang Jifan skillfully cut half of the melon into several petals: "Try it."

Zhang Heling was not polite. After picking the largest piece, Zhang Yanling was impatient and chose the second largest piece.

The two brothers held the melon in both hands and were busy feasting.

The sweet taste was in the mouth. Zhang Heling couldn't help but smack his lips while eating it, saying, "It's delicious, delicious, I haven't eaten such a delicious meal in a long time."

"Wuwuwu, it's delicious..." Zhang Yanling refused to spit out the watermelon seeds.

The two of them lowered their heads and ate the melon. The look of feasting aroused the appetite of many people.

Zhang Heling was so excited that he was having fun in his heart. What about melons worth ten taels of silver? Today, Fang Jifan, a fool, thought that he could please me with just a piece of melon. Humph, after eating the melon, I still hold a grudge against you.

However... this pleasure of taking advantage makes Zhang Heling's body and mind feel indescribable pleasure. It's so joyful to eat the melon of his enemy and take advantage of him!

At this moment, everyone can finally confirm that this is watermelon.

It is a melon that has been produced in the cold weather.

The winter in the capital is too long, so that the supply of vegetables and vegetables in the entire capital is particularly monotonous and sparse. Even civil and military officials rarely enjoy fruits and vegetables.

Even if you eat too many delicacies, the watermelon that really appears in front of you is still quite exciting.

It's just too expensive.

It’s better to grab ten taels of silver. Besides, in a few months, the melon will be ripe. Are you still afraid that you won’t be able to eat the melon?

However, they still don’t understand where this melon came from?

Someone coughed and stepped forward, unable to help but say, "Fang Jifan..."

Fang Jifan said in a spring breeze: "I don't know what you have to do with me."

The man said, "Where does this melon come from?"

"It's me here in Zhan..." Zhu Houzhao looked so proud that she wanted to say something.

Fang Jifan hurriedly pulled his sleeve.

It can't be said that it was grown in the Zhan Shi Mansion.

Is it expensive to sell watermelons for ten taels of silver? It's too expensive, it's equivalent to how much money ordinary people spend in a few years.

Even many princes and nobles will feel pain.

Therefore, although the melons grown in winter are rare and can satisfy people's cravings, they want to pay for it, but it is still difficult.

In the coming year, with the large-scale planting of Xishan, the prices of fruits and melons will definitely plummet, but Fang Jifan's expectation, pricing will definitely fall into the category of luxury.

But if someone wants to buy such luxury goods, it must be given different meanings.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao's planting melons was obviously embarrassing, and his Majesty had already banned the people in the Zhan Shi Mansion. Not many people knew about it, and even if there were people who knew the inside story, they would not dare to say it.

Fang Jifan put down his watermelon knife, cleared his throat and said, "This melon is planted in the West Mountain."

The Zhang brothers were still gnawing on the melon skin, obviously unwilling to waste it. When they heard Xishan, they paused.

"Oh? Xishan?" The officials looked different, and looked at each other with their beards, making them even more strange: "Can the Xishan grow melons on this cold day?"

"Why can't it be?" Fang Jifan said honestly: "Look, didn't coal still grow in Xishan? And it's still coal that can be burned."

Zhang Heling suddenly felt a little pain in his heart, but... the melon in his hand could not be wasted, so he continued to chew on the melon skin.

"But... what does this have to do with the growth of melons in the severe cold?"

Fang Jifan smiled: "Because the West Mountain is a place of treasures of heaven and earth. It gathers the essence of heaven and earth and can produce smokeless coal. Naturally, this strange melon can be produced. This melon is born from such a rich land and absorbs the essence of the land of the West Mountain. Therefore, this melon is not only sweet, but also has strange effects such as strengthening the body, nourishing the kidneys, and maintaining the face. This is a concentration of the essence of heaven and earth. Our Jiefan uses personality to guarantee that this melon is a health-preserving melon, which is extraordinary."

The officials looked at the melons one by one, and subconsciously nodded.

In this era, Feng Shui theory was still very popular, and everyone believed it. The saying of Jing Fang Jifan made a little sense. It is indeed strange that the coal picked there did not smoke; this melon was planted in the Western Mountains, and in this severe cold, where did the melon come from? There is no other explanation.

In this way, can the efficacy of this melon be similar to that of a century-old ginseng?

Many people's eyes lit up immediately.

Most of the ministers in the court class are not in good health, especially those with severe overdrawal. They all love to nourish their kidneys. No, it is for health care...

Someone spoke, but although some still couldn't bear to let it go, some still wanted to try it.

After all... it was a melon born in the winter. It was so incredible that even if you had money, you couldn't buy it.

What's more, many ministers have money. Although they are usually miserable and have low salaries, even if they don't greedy and can study and become officials, except for Ouyang Zhi's three strange people, many people do not rely on salaries at all. For gentry families, there may be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of acres of land in their hometowns, and the rows of shops in the county town belong to his family.

"I'll do one."

Everyone’s mind is more curious. Can you really maintain health? What does the watermelon born in winter look like?

There are countless doubts in my heart, and you can solve them with just ten taels of silver. If you can't buy it, you will suffer losses or be deceived.

only……

No one noticed that Zhang Heling, who was still gnawing melons just now, had his body stiffened, and there was still a melon that he swallowed in his mouth, so he had no time to chew.

Although his brother Zhang Yanling was still feasting on him, he wanted to eat up all the melon skins.

But……

Zhang Heling's IQ was obviously going to crush his brother. Fang Jifan's words just now appeared in his mind over and over again.

The earth in the West Mountain... the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon... can produce anthracite, and can grow melons in winter... can strengthen the body and nourish the kidneys...

Xishan...Isn't this the land of our Zhang family?

Then this melon... is from our Zhang family, a melon worth ten taels of silver. This is a melon that can grow in the middle of winter and sells ten taels of silver...

His whole body seemed to be frozen.

Zhang Yanling, who was standing beside him, ate the stubble juice on his short beard, and he said happily: "Brother, it tastes delicious and can nourish the kidneys..."

Wow.

Zhang Heling suddenly burst into tears, spitting out the melon flesh in his mouth, throwing the melon skin, pulling his chest tightly with his hands, and then pounding his chest desperately...

Bang...bang...bang...bang...

One punch was punched in the heart, like a drum beat.

He opened his mouth wide and made a whimpering cry, but his mouth was trembling, as if he was so angry that he could not even make a sound in his throat.

The land of the Zhang family is the land of the Zhang family. It is given by the emperor and will be kept for the land to be passed on to the descendants in the future.

This is a blessed world where anthracite can be produced and longevity melons can be grown.

Zhang Heling didn't want to live anymore. He wanted to hammer himself to death, but died completely. Tears came out and shrouded on his face.

This is my melon.

My coal.

My land!

Zhang Yanling was startled and quickly stopped his brother's self-harm behavior. He hugged his brother and said in surprise: "Brother, you are so bad. You will lose such a good melon skin. Brother, stop crying, what's wrong..."

Zhang Heling refused to answer, but just cried with grief. Zhang Yanling had no choice but to call a few guards and quickly carried Zhang Heling away.

Zhuguan looked at Zhang Heling, who had overreacted, in a daze. This Hou of Shouning was usually strange and confused, and today it was even more excessive.

Fang Jifan was very proud and smiled: "The Marquis Shouning was so moved that he couldn't control himself after eating our melon. He had never tasted such a good melon in his life."

"..." After hearing this, all the officials' eyes lit up.

It's really amazing...

Of course, there are also righteous people who say righteous words: "Selling melons is a complacent business practice, and His Highness is the crown prince of the country. How can you do such a thing?"

Fang Jifan said: "Your Highness sees the refugees in the West Mountains pitiful. In order to improve their lives, he came to sell melons. In order to improve their lives, I now announce that all the silver coins sold by melons today will be distributed to refugees in the West Mountains!"

“…”

This is obviously a joke. All the refugees in Xishan are now miners. They were originally supported by Fang Jifan. They distributed money and grain. This is the duty. The so-called distributing the silver for selling melons to refugees in Xishan is to rush to the right hand.

But... you have no way to deal with him.

"I'll try it."
