Chapter 1482 Big Order
After a while, the cook in the kitchen also came over with the basket. The watermelon was in good condition. Master Li was very satisfied, "Uncle Li, go back and bring me a hundred watermelons, a little more is fine. ."
Butler Li originally wanted to stay in Fucheng for a few more days, but thinking about the strong seasonality of watermelons, these days plus the round-trip transportation time, if he goes back late, it may delay the master's gift, "Yes, master, The old slave will clean up tomorrow morning and go back."
After all, he has to reconcile with the accountant in the mansion this afternoon, and then his wife will sign for it before he can go back.
Sun Meimei in the backyard got the package sent by the housekeeper, and she was very grateful.
Seeing the two nice pieces of fabric in the package, Sun Meimei wiped her eyes. It seemed that life at home was better than she had imagined, and she could rest assured.
Seeing that there was still a letter in it, Sun Meimei checked it word by word, feeling happy and thinking about being able to go home earlier.
In the letter, the mother said that when the lady and the master go back in the new year, they will use the money to redeem her. There are still a few months left, and she has to be patient.
Hearing that Butler Li was going back tomorrow, Sun Meimei hurriedly wrote a letter, and then gave her sister some silk flowers that she bought with the young lady some time ago, and a silver hairpin for her mother. As for the inconvenience for her father and younger brother, she put them in the package, so she would buy them for them after she went back.
Knowing that her parents were thinking of him, Sun Meimei felt more confident and missed her hometown.
Butler Li rushed back in a hurry and ordered 130 watermelons directly.
"Da Hai, you must choose watermelons for me this time. This is what our grandfather planned to give to Shangguan or colleagues." Butler Li explained, "If we do it well, we will all be rewarded, and we will have a good life in the future. , if something goes wrong, we're all done."
Sun Dahai now has a very good understanding of watermelons, and assuredly said: "The last time I gave you eight ripe watermelons, it should be good when you get there, right?"
"The eight-ripe watermelons are delicious after they arrive there. It looks like they can be stored for a few days." Butler Li replied, "You can choose the watermelons for me according to the standard of eight-ripeness. If it is not enough, you can choose the seven-ripe ones. , I can't choose nine ripe ones for me, otherwise, the watermelons will be overripe and broken before they get there."
"Butler Li, don't worry, our seven-ripe watermelon will be fully ripe after four days, but don't worry, it can be left for eight to twelve days after that, and the taste is the same as the nine-ripe watermelon." Sun Dahai explained He said, "Oh, take a break, I'll bring two children to choose watermelons for you. By the way, I still need a basket this time. How many baskets are there?"
"I brought back the ones I used last time. You can help me order a hundred more this time." Butler Li said, "The quality of the basket must be good, otherwise the frame will be broken on the road, and the watermelon will also be broken."
Sun Erlang went to Old Man Hu's house to talk about the situation here. It happened that there were a total of 150 baskets in Old Man Hu's house, which was enough.
Hearing that there were enough baskets, Sun Dahai was relieved and continued to pick watermelons with his two sons.
Finally, after more than an hour, I picked 130 watermelons, all of which were seven or eight mature, and carefully placed them in the baskets that had already been filled with hay.
