The person in charge was not angry when he heard Jin An say this, and explained happily: "What the manager said is right, in Guangzhou, Qiongya (Hainan) and even Taiwan, this coconut is generally sold for seven or eight cents a piece, or even cheaper......

However, we didn't ask for anything indiscriminately. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I only ask this manager one sentence, is there a fruit shop selling coconuts in this huge Nanjing city? ”

Jin An said: "Even if it's only your family, you can't set the price so high!" ”

The principal shook his head and said, "Is it high?" In fact, it's not high! If it weren't for the sake of befriending the Zhen family, who would be willing to travel thousands of miles to transport these heavy and worthless things to Nanjing......"

"You guys sent this to the Zhen family?"

In addition to the Jia family's family and the Zhen family, there should be no second Zhen family in Nanjing, so Jia Qing was curious.

"It's not that, I heard that the ladies and ladies of the Zhen family love to eat fruits, so the lord of the Zhen Mansion asked someone to buy fresh fruits from other places. Only then did our boss come up with the idea of using a fast boat from Taiwan to transport some fruits that were not available in the south of the Yangtze River.

Anyway, it was a trip, and we had a whole boatload of fruit. Our boss is thoughtful, if the Zhen Mansion is not finished, it is just so that people in the hometown can try it without going far!

We mainly ship mangoes and coconuts. Mango is okay to say, anyway, it can be stored for a long time, but this coconut will not become, like this is also an old coconut, but it will not be bad after a month.

So, you see this coconut is heavy, like the coconut we take, all of them weigh more than six or seven pounds, and it won't be long after it is released, you say, who else wants to do this thing's business? Even if he did, it wouldn't be lower than the price set by our boss, otherwise, he would have to lose money! ”

Oh, I can't see that the eloquence of this principal is really good, and he has a good quality of employees, and he maintains the image of the boss everywhere.

Jia Qing was persuaded by his rhetoric. In fact, they sell this rare thing here, and the price can be as much as they want, as long as it is sold.

Anyway, Jia Qing thinks that compared to this price, it is worth it to be able to eat this coconut that can only be eaten in the tropics!

There are not a few people who believe in the same idea as him.

Stopping Jin An, who was still talking, Jia Qing said: "You pick two hundred old coconuts for me, and then pick another fifty tender ones for me." ”

"Gotcha!"

When the person in charge heard Jia Qing's instructions, he knew that Jia Qing knew a lot about coconuts.

The young coconuts have a shorter shelf life, but the taste is different from the old coconuts, so Jia Qing only needs fifty.

The person in charge was ready to go, and Jia Qing said to Lai Sheng: "Later, you will give everyone on the boat three coconuts to quench their thirst, and say that it is my little reward for their hard work all the way." Then I'll move the rest to my accommodation. ”

"Thank you, Second Master!"

Lai Sheng bowed down to receive the reward, and then went to communicate with the principal.

When they went to Jiangnan this time, Jia Jing gave Lai Sheng a lot of money, like this kind of small money to buy fruits, of course, Jia Qing didn't need to pay out of his own pocket.

Two hundred coconuts sounds like a lot, but there are also a lot of people around Jia Qing, and he can't be cleaned up.

Jia Qing actually thought about bringing some back to the sisters at home. However, as the chief said, the shelf life of the coconut is too short, and when he returns to the capital, most of them are no longer fresh. It's better not to bring it.

On the contrary, the big mango in front of me can bring some back to the family......

After everyone drank a coconut beautifully, Jia Qing asked Li Yan to call the person in charge over, and said, "Pick twenty boxes of the best mangoes from you, and I will take them back to the capital." Remember to put me some hay or something in the middle, if I find something bad or broken on the road, be careful and come back and smash your signboard! ”

The great joy of the principal, these twenty boxes are five or six hundred catties, his task is to sell the thousands of catties of mangoes and coconuts on the dock, Jia Qing made his task more than half of it at once, and hurriedly nodded and did what Jia Qing ordered.

Twenty boxes is not much, but it is not too little. Jia Qing prepares to give some to the wives, young ladies and even aunts and grandmothers of Jiafu, whether they are rewarding people or eating by themselves, it is a novelty in the end.

Just before going out, I also promised Xichun to bring her delicious food, which can also be regarded as a portion.

Jia Qing didn't wait for Lai Sheng to finish buying fruit, and took an eye-opening coconut back to the carriage with the two of them.

"Well, for you."

Inside the carriage, Jia Qing said to Xian'er, who had been staying in the carriage.

Although Xian'er didn't understand what she meant, she still reached out to take it. It's just that he didn't get it, because Jia Qing took his hand back again.

"I almost forgot, you're still hurt...... Come on, Sister Xiaofeng, you help her hold it, uh, why don't you drink it, why are you holding it? ”

"Second master, this is too much, I can't drink it......"

"People haven't gotten it yet~"

The former voice is from Xianluan, and the latter is from Peifeng. The former voice was full of satisfaction, the latter full of grievances.

Jia Qing smiled at Pei Feng and said, "Why, Sister Xiaofeng, you dislike Young Master Ben so much?" Didn't I just drink a sip, and you won't drink it? ”

"Isn't it...... The second master is really cheeky! In front of so many people, how can you ask people to drink......"

"Then you can drink it now."

Pei Feng didn't answer, but her eyes glanced at the fairy next to Jia Qing, and the meaning was self-evident.

Jia Qing glanced at the expressionless Xian'er, and said to Pei Feng again: "Then you drink from Sister Xiaoluan's hands." ”

Xianluan cooperated and handed the coconut in her hand to Pei Feng......

Pei Feng looked at the coconut handed over by Xianluan with a tangled face, looked at the coconut in his hand again, felt the full coconut water in it, and suddenly lowered his head and took the "straw" in his mouth and drank it.

Compared with what she had drunk with Jia Luan, she was more willing to drink with Jia Qing! In fact, if it weren't for the presence of others, she wouldn't hesitate.

Seeing that the two girls were not empty in their hands, Jia Qing had no choice but to "reluctantly" start the work of a maid, and handed the coconut in his hand to Xian'er in the direction of the pipe facing outward, and said:

"Fairy girl, you drink too!"

Xian'er shrank her head slightly, and looked at Jia Qing suspiciously, afraid that this was also tasted by Jia Qing first.

Jia Qing looked at her funny and said, "Don't worry, this is just opened, you see that the juice inside is still full!" ”

In this way, Xian'er dispelled her doubts, and glanced at Pei Feng, who was drinking on the other side, and was finally attracted by the coconut water she had never drunk, and slowly leaned over her head.

After taking a sip tentatively, it seemed that this behavior was a little too intimate, and he said in disguise: "It's delicious......"

……

In the west of Nanjing, there is a city called Stone City, in which many dignitaries of Jinling Province live.

The old house of the Jia family is located in Stone Town.

Jia Qingqing, as the serious master of Ningguo Mansion, naturally lived in Ning Guofu when he arrived in Nanjing, of course, he would not go to live in the main hall.

Although the masters of the two mansions now live in the capital, the Ningrong and two mansions in Nanjing are not for other people to live in.

Jin An is the general manager who is responsible for managing the old house, and there are nearly 100 people left by the two governments to watch the house, all of which are under his control.

When they arrived at the street where Ning Rong's second mansion was located, Jia Qing took Pei Feng and the three of them to get out of the carriage, turned to a soft sedan chair, and entered the Ningguo Mansion through the east corner gate.

Jia Qing lifted the gauze curtain and saw that the old mansion of Ningguo had an open layout, with halls and pavilions, and it was magnificent. Although it has been vacant for many years, the rocks, flowers and trees inside are still lush and moist, without any sense of decadence.

Thinking about it, on weekdays, Jin An and others often clean up.
