Chapter 250 The He Family Receives Fruit
Shen Shuli was surprised that the elderly couple cared so much about their daughter, and she was happy for Madam Chen.
Seeing his parents looking haggard, He Yunzhang quickly asked his wife to persuade the elderly couple to go back to their room to rest.
He held the letter, looking at Shen Shuli with pleading eyes.
“Girl, I know you must have a close relationship with my sister. She is a very loyal woman, otherwise she wouldn’t ask you to deliver this message to us at a time like this.”
“I know my sister never tells me anything bad, she’s about to give birth and has to travel with heavy shackles, how could she be alright? Has something happened to her?”
"Is this...this letter a final statement?"
Otherwise, he would find it hard to imagine why his younger sister would use blood to write a book.
He could still smell the fresh blood; the letter was clearly written not long ago.
This can only mean that his sister is not far from Xingzhou.
She lives so close to home, yet she never goes home to visit.
Something must have happened!
Seeing that his face was flushed and pale and she didn't know what he was imagining, Shen Shuli quickly stepped forward to change the subject.
"Please rest assured, Madam Chen is indeed well. She only wrote the letter in blood because she had no other writing tools available."
"I swear on my life, she's really alright."
"That's good!"
Seeing her so determined, He Yunzhang finally felt completely relieved.
"I wonder if there's anything the young lady can do to help us? Please don't hesitate to ask, and I, He, will do my utmost!"
Shen Shuli grinned.
She loves people who are so straightforward.
It's clear that the He family truly cares about Madam Chen; otherwise, he wouldn't have offered to help.
"My family has brought a lot of fruit to sell. Our fruit is of excellent quality and very good for your health, but the price is also very high. I wonder if Uncle He has any connections?"
He Yunzhang remembered that the girl's family was outside the door, and they did bring a lot of baskets and hampers.
He then realized that he had neglected his benefactor because of his sister's matter.
“Young lady, it was my oversight that I left your family outside. I will invite them in to rest for a while.”
He Yunzhang quickly stood up and was about to go out to invite someone, and also to check the quality of the fruit they brought.
Shen Shuli smiled and stopped her, saying, "Uncle He, there's no need to trouble yourself. We have other things to take care of later."
"In that case, why don't you sell all the fruit to me?"
Anyway, it doesn't look like much.
These days, droughts are everywhere, and fruit is very scarce, so there's definitely no problem dealing with it.
Shen Shuli, accompanied by Shen Ziyu, went out with He Yunzhang.
"Second brother, get some fruit for Uncle He to try." Shen Shuli beckoned to Su Ping'an.
Seeing that his sister had finally come out safely, Su Ping'an breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly grabbed a few avocados and ran over to hand them to the stranger.
He Yunzhang held the fruit and looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't recognize what kind of fruit it was.
"This... I have never seen such a peculiar fruit before..." He Yunzhang, who was quite worldly-wise, was somewhat embarrassed.
Shen Shuli pretended not to see his embarrassment and explained how to eat it with a smile.
"This fruit was transported from the far south. It's really hard to find here. Just peel it and eat it directly. Try it, it's absolutely delicious."
Upon hearing this, He Yunzhang's eyes lit up.
He had heard that the south had a wide variety of delicious fruits, but he had never tasted them before.
I never expected to run into him like this!
Such a precious and rare fruit, he naturally had to get his hands on it as soon as possible.
"Girl, why don't you sell them all to me? Name your price, and I'll raise it by 30%!"
Shen Shuli hadn't expected him to be so generous.
Not only did they not negotiate the price, they actually raised it!
What a nice person!
“Uncle He, we brought a lot, this is only part of it. I was worried you wouldn’t be able to eat it all,” Shen Shuli explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, He Yunzhang's heart pounded.
That's not all!
Judging from the girl's tone, it seems there's still a lot left!
"Sell these to me, and I'll find another buyer for the rest. Could you tell me exactly how many there are?"
“At least nine thousand,” Shen Shuli said, making a startling statement: “Each one tael of silver.”
He Yunzhang was shocked!
Nine, nine, nine thousand!
One tael of silver per grain, that's nine thousand taels!
He wiped away the cold sweat that had broken out in his body from fright!
There are definitely too many!
He just tried to eat it all!
Even if two more He families came, we still couldn't handle it!
However, He Yunzhang already had a suitable buyer in mind.
They are absolutely willing to spend the money and can afford to buy this batch of goods.
“Miss Shen, where are the other goods? Why don’t you bring them over? I’ll take you to find a buyer, and they’ll definitely be willing to take them all.”
"Sure, but it's still outside the city, so we'll have to trouble Uncle He to help prepare a few carriages and horses."
"no problem."
He Yunzhang didn't think about how the girl managed to transport the fruit without a car.
"Girls, why don't you leave the fruit at my house first? I'll settle the payment for you, so you don't have to carry it around all this time."
Shen Shuli nodded and instructed her family to take the items into the He family home to count them.
The fruits produced by the space are basically the same size, and at least from the outside, there is no difference.
There are a total of 1231 fruits, with a total value of 1231 taels of silver.
He Yunzhang hadn't expected to receive so many fruits. Although he felt a pang of regret, he settled the accounts with great satisfaction.
Shen Shuli took the silver note and then asked, "Uncle He, I heard that your family owns a cloth shop? Do you have any ready-made clothes?"
Upon hearing this, He Yunzhang wore a gratified and gentle smile.
He knew this girl wanted to spend money at his place; she was indeed the kind of person he liked, always so thoughtful and considerate.
"Yes, our He family has always run a fabric shop, and ready-made clothing is also our main business."
“I heard about my sister’s family troubles a while ago, so I closed the shop and lost interest in opening it. There’s a lot of unsold stock in the shop. Let me take you there to have a look.”
Seeing that there were quite a few young women in the group, He Yunzhang invited his wife along as well, so that she could recommend clothes to the female guests later.
Shen Shuli and her family followed He Yunzhang and his wife all the way to the shops on East Street.
"Miss, these are all finished designs. Take a look and see if any of them catch your eye," Madam He immediately greeted Shen Shuli and the other women with a smile.
"Everyone, feel free to pick what you like, don't be shy, and buy some for the others as well."
Shen Shuli generously reminded them that they still needed to buy clothes for the people outside.
No one refused.
They knew that Shen Shuli had just earned a thousand taels of silver from selling fruit, and that the fruit outside the city could sell for at least another eight thousand taels.
There is plenty of silver.
During their time fleeing for their lives in the mountains, they only had this one set of clothes, which were already torn and very dirty.
The fact that the He family didn't look down on them only shows that they were well-educated, reasonable, and kind.
If it were any other slightly more materialistic family, they would probably have treated them like beggars and sent them away long ago.
The clothes in the shop are all quite fashionable, which shows that the He family's business is doing very well.
However, the ready-made garment inventory was limited, and Shen Shuli bought them all.
