Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Heartbroken to Death

“I’ve got so great news to tell you, the waterlons we sold yesterday went really well! Not only did we get a high price, but we also sold out, and so of the wealthier families have already placed orders with

for a month’s supply!” Shopkeeper Fan’s mood had been excited since yesterday, and he hadn’t had anyone to share it with. Seeing Big Bull and Xuexue, he went on and on as if he had found kindred spirits.

And rightly so, as they were business partners in selling waterlons, with closely linked financial interests. It was only fitting for them to share in the joy together.

“Really?”

Xuexue wasn’t surprised; in her previous life, when waterlons first ca on the market in the Moli Country, they were snapped up by the royal family and nobles every day. However, in a small place like Jingshan Town, such sales were still quite impressive.

They had agreed on the first day that a pound of waterlon would sell for fifty copper coins. The variety of waterlon had just co out and was a bit rare. Ordinary households aside, back in her forr life, even The Emperor hadn’t tasted it at this ti. They felt that if they didn’t charge a little more, Xuexue would be doing a disservice to herself for living a second life. Besides, after this year, next year waterlons would be everywhere, and they wouldn’t be worth much when sold then.

Xuexue just thought about making so money off this novelty, so they had to sell for a bit more. Shopkeeper Fan was in agreent, so they quickly decided on fifty copper coins per pound for the waterlons.

Village head stood by, smacking his lips in disbelief, thinking, My goodness! Fifty copper coins for a pound of waterlon, and a single waterlon weighs about ten pounds, selling one would fetch half a tael of silver. Yesterday, Xuexue sent him a few waterlons, they tasted great, so he had planned to co and buy a few to give to friends and relatives. Hearing the price, he was rendered speechless.

Xuexue said a few happy words to Shopkeeper Fan, who then got busy weighing waterlons and loading them onto carts. It was only then that Xuexue rembered Uncle Village Chief was still standing there.

“Uncle Village Chief, did you co to see us for sothing?” Xuexue turned and asked the village head.

Big Bull was keeping him company, chatting away.

“Yesterday you sent a few waterlons to my house, I had so free ti today, so I ca to thank you.” The village head was still feeling uneasy, thankful that he had heard Shopkeeper Fan ntion fifty copper coins per pound. Otherwise, if he had suddenly decided to buy a few waterlons, that would have cost him several taels of silver, which would have been too distressing. His son was preparing for the Juren exam this year and there were many expenses; he couldn’t afford to be reckless with money.

“Hey, it’s just a few waterlons! What’s there to thank for? You’ve helped my mother and

out a lot in the past, so a few waterlons are nothing,” Xuexue said, waving her hand dismissively and smiling.

The village head chatted with them for a while, then took his leave.

Before leaving, Xuexue gave him a few more waterlons.

“This…”

Village head looked at the few waterlons in front of him; he was really tempted to take them as they were free, but the problem was he couldn’t carry them!

Shopkeeper Fan brought in a couple of extra helpers because Big Bull had moved all the waterlons to the roadside early in the morning. Today there wasn’t much left to do. Two of the helpers were helping Shopkeeper Fan weigh waterlons, one was loading waterlons onto a horse-drawn cart, and another was sitting idly by, leisurely eating a waterlon.

“Hey, co here a minute,” Big Bull called out to him.

The helper quickly put down the waterlon in his hands and walked over: “Master, what do you need?”

“Help carry these waterlons to the Village Chief’s House.”

“That’s doable, but I need to let Shopkeeper Fan know.”

“No worries, you go ahead, I’ll give him a heads-up.”

“Alright then!” Knowing that Big Bull and Xuexue were Shopkeeper Fan’s business partners, the helper agreed and loaded the few waterlons into a pair of baskets next to him, shouldered the carrying pole, and walked with the village head towards Mo Family Village.
