"Get four watermelons." Fang Ze walked over and said to the fruit shop owner.
"Four, four!" Kangna was almost drooling after hearing Fang Ze's words. But after thinking about it, he quietly tugged on the hem of Fang Ze's clothes.
"What's wrong?" Fang Ze turned to look at Kangna.
"Watermelon is so expensive, don't buy more just because of me." Kangna said while drooling.
Although she is a giant dragon, Kangna has been in human society for a while and is still very sensitive to money. She once refused Xiaolin to buy her an expensive schoolbag.
"Little girl." The owner of the fruit shop heard Kangna's words and was worried that the business would not be successful, so he quickly said, "Summer is almost over now. Watermelons are a little expensive, but not too expensive. I'll give them to you. How about erasing the loose ends?"
"It's okay, just take four." Fang Ze said to the shopkeeper with a smile, "This kid just came back from abroad. Watermelons are expensive there."
"So that's it." The shopkeeper nodded to express his understanding, and then said to Fang Ze, "Weighed it, the total is twenty-three and a half yuan, you can just give us twenty-three."
Fang Ze paid the shop owner using WeChat. Kangna still didn't believe it. She looked at the watermelon tiptoeing and said to Fang Ze, "Is the watermelon here really cheap? Twenty-three yuan is not much."
"Well, let me tell you this." Fang Ze pointed to the bus that had just passed by the street and said to Kangna, "Here, it costs two yuan to take a bus and twenty yuan to eat a meal. Yuan, do you think twenty-three yuan is a lot?"
"It's two yuan for a bus ride. Twenty-three yuan can buy you thirteen bus rides. No, it should be twelve and a half. You'll be kicked off the last one." Kangna counted on her fingers for a long time. , then raised his head to Fang Ze and said happily, "It's really cheap."
"That's right." Fang Ze said, stuffing a watermelon into Kangna's arms, and then picked up three more watermelons. "If Kangna likes it, we can buy a big bag of watermelon tomorrow and put it at home and eat it slowly."
"A big bag!!!" Kangna's eyes almost had stars popping out of her eyes.
No wonder Kangna is so excited, because in Neon, Xiao Lin, who adopted Kangna, is just an ordinary programmer. Although the monthly salary is quite high, it is still impossible to eat watermelon often in Neon. Eating several whole watermelons in one summer is enough.
In fact, it cannot be said that Neon's watermelons are expensive, but that watermelons all over the world are expensive, and only those in China are cheap.
Because China is the largest watermelon producer in the world, accounting for two-thirds of the world's production, and the remaining one-third is still scattered in various countries.
According to the world watermelon production table, China ranks first, accounting for 66.96% of the total, while the second is 3.62%, and the third is 3.57%. Fourth place is 1.99 percent.
So it’s a shame that watermelons abroad are not expensive.
Not only are local watermelons expensive in Neon, but imported watermelons are also expensive because they mainly import watermelons from the United States.
The result of such a high watermelon price is that watermelon is actually sold in Neon as a high-end fruit snack. Every time a customer comes, it is cut into two or three small pieces and served after the meal.
And this has increasingly resulted in the price of watermelon not being able to come down, because the more expensive it is, the more high-end it looks, and the more respectable it is when entertaining guests or giving gifts.
If you are lucky enough to travel to Neon, you can go to some old fruit gift shops in Neon to see their sky-high price fruit gifts.
For example, a box of two mangoes named Son of the Sun costs 200,000 yen, which is equivalent to 12,000 Ruanmei coins, which means one mango costs 6,000 yen.
The reason why they dare to sell so expensively is because according to the official introduction, only high-quality ripe mangoes with a sweetness of more than 15 degrees, a weight of more than 350 grams and more than half of the surface being bright red can be named "Son of the Sun". sell.
Thick neon chuuni style.
There is also the Hokkaido black watermelon. It is said that the pulp has a special sweetness that other watermelons do not have. In 2008, it was sold for 630,000 yen, which is about 30,000 soft sister coins.
Of course, these are not the most expensive ones. The most expensive fruit in Neon is the Yubari King melon, which costs as much as a thousand yuan even if it is cheap, and the highest price reaches 147,000 yuan for a pair of soft girls.
In this regard, the sky-high-priced mooncakes that were once all the rage in China can only feel ashamed.
This isn't selling fruit. It's like making a fruit peel and pouring gold into it to sell. Every year, the topic of expensive fruits causes a lot of complaints on the neon network.
Therefore, it is understandable that some Neon people who come to China are unwilling to go back because they can dig out watermelons with a spoon and eat them here.
In this way, neon watermelons are still exported every year.
Export to where
Hongkong.
To be precise, it is exported to Hong Kong supermarket booths to add style. In fact, the watermelons that Hong Kong people want to eat are shipped from the mainland.
"So happy." Kangna said as she buried her face in the watermelon and ate it.
"Are you really not going to use a spoon?" Fang Ze placed the spoon next to Kang Na.
"It's just too slow to eat with a spoon."
"Okay, then you remember that watermelon rinds are inedible. Don't eat the watermelon rinds together."
Fang Ze cut four watermelons and placed them next to Kangna. Then he went to the bedroom to tidy up the place where Kangna would live in the next few days, and took out new daily necessities and placed them on the table.
When playing games at night, Fang Ze was playing chicken while Kangna stood behind and watched.
"Alas, I was tricked to death by an old pervert again." The person controlled by Fang Ze walked around a corner and was accidentally taken away by an old pervert who had been hiding here for a long time.
Although Athena's vision is very powerful, it can only see everything on the screen clearly, but cannot help Fang Ze see through things. Therefore, every time Fang Ze dies, he is forced to death by the old man.
"Do you want me to help Xiao Fang beat these people to death?" Kangna felt that she had eaten Fang Ze's watermelon, so she wanted to make some repayment.
"You don't know how to play games." Before Fang Ze could finish his words, he turned around and saw Kang Na's mouth slightly open, as if she wanted to spit out a breath of dragon's breath and turn the computer into ashes.
"Don't." Fang Ze quickly stopped Kangna, "I deliberately let others beat me to death, otherwise it would be pointless to keep winning."
"That's right." Kangna saw this and closed her mouth again.
"Yes, yes." Fang Ze nodded sharply.
"By the way." Fang Ze asked Kangna, "Where do you want to go tomorrow?"
