626 A Basket of Cherries

However, he immediately called out softly, ” little sister Yuelan, little sister Yuelan.”

Lin Yuelan immediately reacted. She looked at him in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong? ”

Zhou Wencai felt that something was amiss, but he didn’t say it out loud. All he did was continue to say with a fawning smile, ” look, with our friends.h.i.+p, isn’t it too vulgar to talk about money and money? isn’t it too hurtful? So, how about you give these two baskets of cherries to big brother Zhou as you did just now?”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said with a smile, ” big brother Zhou, as you said, it’s too vulgar and hurtful to talk about money. You should be more straightforward and give me the money directly. It’s just not about money and won’t hurt our relations.h.i.+p. Besides, even brothers should settle their accounts clearly, right? ”

Zhou Wencai was choked by Lin yuelan’s words. He knew that he had spoken too much and couldn’t take advantage of her. He wished he could really slap himself and teach him a lesson.

In the end, Zhou Wencai spent 2500 taels of silver to buy the two baskets of cherries. However, he didn’t suffer any losses.

Before they left, Lin yuelan gave them a fruit that they had never eaten before. It was called cantaloupe.

Just by smelling the sweet taste of the fruit, he was sure that it must be delicious.

Since they were fresh fruits, Lin yuelan would definitely sell them at an expensive price. They were at least five or six catties in weight. The price would definitely not be low.

After getting someone to send Zhou Wencai out, Lin Yuelan planned on selling cantaloupes.

Speaking of which, both cherries and cantaloupes were fruits in hot weather, but she was actually selling them in winter.

Lin Yuelan immediately felt speechless.

Fortunately, the people here didn’t know about these fruits, let alone the harvesting season. Otherwise, there would be new rumors.

Ten days later, on the birthday of an official in the capital, he received a surprising gift from Ji Zhongcai, the prefect of Zhou Shan.

It was not to say that this congratulatory gift was bad, but on the contrary, this congratulatory gift surprised all the officials present.

Then, after one of the officials tried it, he was overjoyed and said, ” not bad, not bad. I’ve never tasted such fresh and delicious fruit before. My Lords, please try this fruit called cherry!”

After that, the high official asked the maidservants to add a cherry to each official’s fruit plate.

That’s right, one fruit for each person. This showed that this official was very generous. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given such a beautiful and delicious new fruit. Besides, there were no less than a hundred civil and military officials who had come to congratulate him. One fruit for each person was already a lot.

Many people were surprised and confused as they slowly tasted the cherry. After a while, they said to Ji Zhongcai, ” Lord Ji, you’re so kind.”

“Lord Ji, it’s my birthday on the tenth of next month. Can you give me a basket of these cherries to celebrate my birthday?”

“Lord Ji, I’ve never heard of or seen a fruit called cherry. Where does it come from?”

Although Ji zhongcai was happy to be recognized by his superiors, he was overwhelmed by the fact that all the officials with higher ranks than him were speaking to him in such a friendly manner.

…

When Zhou Changsheng once again received a letter from his superior, Ji zhongcai, his face was filled with anger.

He clutched the letter tightly and said angrily, ” this is too much, too much.”

“Father, what’s wrong? why are you so angry?” Upon hearing Zhou Changsheng’s angry voice, Zhou Wencai immediately came over with worry.

“Ji Zhongcai ordered me to get him more than 50 catties of cherries. He said that many high-ranking officials in the capital are waiting for his cherries. He even warned us about what we should say to others. Don’t you think this is infuriating?”
