621 A Basket of Cherries
“I don’t care what you mean. Just based on the fact that you don’t wish for me to be well, you are not qualified to be the Yan family’s housekeeper, ” Yan Lin said angrily. “in a while, sixth Yan will take your place. You can continue to be a lowly dog slave!”
The new Butler’s face went from pale to ashen and then red. In the end, he could only hold back his anger and leave.
At this moment, Yan Lin really wouldn’t listen to anyone. The only thought in his mind was to grow winter vegetables and make a fortune. Then, he would block that damn girl Lin yuelan’s path to making a fortune. He would control the entire An Ding County’s market of fresh winter vegetables and then monopolize the entire country’s winter vegetables.
At that time, he would just watch that wretched girl lose everything!!!
At this moment, Yan Lin was truly dreaming.
He didn’t know that his blind arrogance and proud character had caused him to fall into the trap that Lin yuelan had set for him. The result that awaited him would be a loss of money or bankruptcy!
…
Lin yuelan stepped into the space and saw that all kinds of precious herbs and vegetable seeds, which she had collected in her previous life, were now growing in large patches. She felt comforted.
These things were simply more valuable than the hundred Mus of land outside.
In order to find the source of these vegetables, Lin yuelan had specially set aside one mu of land as a forbidden area. Except for her, who could enter and leave freely.
These fruits and vegetables included tomatoes, eggs, eggplants, golden-threaded melons, cherry fruits, dragon fruits, and so on. These fruits and vegetables had never appeared in the Long yan Kingdom before. Lin yuelan only kept them for herself or to entertain some precious guests. The rest of the fruits and vegetables were sold by Lin yuelan as special products, and the prices were outrageously high.
Things like the Golden twisted melon cost twenty taels of silver each, while tomatoes cost two taels of silver each, and the cherry tomatoes cost five taels of silver each. Some of these fruits were also very rare, and Lin yuelan had even priced them at more than a hundred taels each.
Of course, these precious things were usually used to make friends or strengthen their own social connections.
The people who received the food tasted it and used the rest to continue doing him favors and strengthening his network.
“Sir, this is something I got from a remote place as a token of respect to the old lady. Please accept it!” A wealthy man from Lin An County brought a basket of red cherries to the magistrate of Lin An County.
Although that official wasn’t a perfect official, he was considered a clean official in the eyes of the common people and rarely accepted money from others.
At this moment, when he saw a basket of bright red fruits that he had never seen before, he was curious, but he wanted to refuse according to his own principles.
The official hesitated for a moment. “This…”
The rich man smiled and said, ” Sir, this fruit is called cherry. It’s sweet and sour. Sir, why don’t you try it first? ”
As he spoke, he picked out a bigger cherry.
Usually, he had looked for this Lord a few times and prepared to give him a few gifts, but whether it was money or gifts, he had been rejected one by one.
This time, the official was clearly hesitating. It was clear that he wanted to accept the basket of cherries, but he also wanted to refuse.
So, why not give him a push and let him have a taste? After that, it would be difficult for him to reject him again.
Sure enough, after a moment’s hesitation, the official took the cherry from the man’s hand and put it in his mouth. In an instant, the sweet and sour taste filled his entire mouth.
The official’s chewing speed unconsciously increased. Then, he started to shove the cherries into his mouth. He wanted to eat more.
The rich man took the opportunity to ask, ” Sir, how does the cherry taste? ”
The official nodded and said, ” yes, not bad! Then, he asked curiously, ” you said this thing is called cherry? ”
“yes, my Lord, ” the rich man said. “the person who sells cherries said that this thing is called cherry because it looks like a peach and is small and red, so it’s called cherry.”
