He had been working for the County Magistrate for a few years, but he only ate two slices of watermelons last summer, which was given by the County Magistrate.
The County Magistrate himself had not yet eaten any watermelons this year!
Strategist Lu could not help but lament. “That Young Master of the Yuezheng
Family just doesn’t know that he should offer you a dozen!”
That was what County Magistrate Qiao was thinking inwardly, but he was not going to say it out loud.
He waved his hands, pretending to be open-minded. “Young Master Yuezheng is a businessman, who only cares about profits. Also, I don’t accept things from others for free.”
“You are honest, Officer. You never take benefits from anyone, that I know.” Strategist Lu raised his eyebrows and started to think. “So, do we have someone who is planting watermelons in our county? I will go around and try to see who is doing that? We can buy some too. The watermelons would be so good for the summer.”
County Magistrate Qiao nodded as he smiled. “Good, you can go about and take a look. Try and buy as many as possible!”
“Okay, Officer!”
Strategist Lu smiled and felt happy inwardly.
The farmers would definitely be glad to have a connection with the County Magistrate when he finds them and buys their watermelons!
He would get however many he wanted when he saw them.
No one would ask the officer for money!

When Officer Qiao returned to the mansion, Madame Qiao said with a smile, li lt is getting really hot these days, and we are not sleeping well. I decided to send some people to get some watermelons from the province tomorrow to bring home. If you need anything else, we can buy them together.”
Qiao Wei was spoiled and greedy for watermelons. Madame Qiao cared about her and did not want to see her suffer.
Watermelons did not have a high yield last year due to the torrential rains, and the housekeeper said that one good watermelon would cost 7 qian, which was way over the budget. So only a few were bought.
When the housekeeper went to fetch some more, the watermelons were nowhere to be seen.
So, they needed to go there earlier this year.
Officer Qiao smiled. “No need to go to the capital, we have watermelons here
too.
He told her what Strategist Lu’s plan was.
Madame Qiao cheered and smiled. “That is good! Just let Strategist Lu get the information and watermelons too.. You are working for the county day and night, and the farmers should not ask you for money!’
