?Chapter 260: Chapter 259: Secrets Chapter 260: Chapter 259: Secrets With such a large quantity and undeveloped transport in ancient times, Chen Afu thought, a good price was definitely dependent first on identifying the right market.

Luckily, there were six acres of watermelons as the vanguard. First, he would sell these good melons to wealthier regions. Once the merchants there found them good, they would come to purchase more on their own.

Peculiarly, Dingzhou was a transportation hub of the Dashun dynasty. The Grand Canal beside the city ran north to the Capital City and south to the vital town of Wu City in Jiangnan, while also connecting to the mother river of this time-space, the Changfu River. These melons seemed plentiful, but as long as the right market is found, the purchasing power along the Grand Canal alone would be overwhelming.

Mr. Zeng had already rented cattle and donkey carts from two nearby villages. Including the one voluntarily lent by Tang Garden and their own cattle cart, there were a total of eight carts, enough to transport all the melons at once. Besides the thousand pounds sent to Chen Er Grains Shop, the rest would be sent to Dingzhou’s Fuyunlai Trading Company. From there, they would be transported along the canal and sold far and wide. The current market was yet to have watermelons, and with their own melons being so large and sweet, they would surely fetch a good price. As for how much exactly, Zeng Shuang, who had conducted a market survey, should know.

Also, they would first pick forty watermelons for their own consumption and to give away as gifts. Fu Garden, Lu Garden, and Tang Garden each would receive several. Each of Old Monk, Abbot Liao Chen, Dabao, and the Yang family from the county town would be sent two. Each favorable household in the village would receive one, and Chen Shiying’s household and Capital Marquis Mansion would each receive five.
