An hour later, there were only a few watermelons left on Mei Xiaoran's stall, and she planned to leave them when they were sold out. The remaining few watermelons are the small melons that were picked by others. She is considering whether to solve these melons at 30 cents apiece. At this moment, Mei Zhonghua came back.
Mei Xiaoran was happy to go out, "Dad, are you back so soon?"
"I just borrowed a bicycle from your old man's house just now, and tied the shelf car to the back of the bicycle, so I won't be afraid of delaying time on the way back."
Mei Xiaoran excitedly gave his dad a thumbs up, "My dad is capable!"
"Dad, this is the money I just sold."
When Mei Zhonghua took over the odd notes from her daughter, she felt so happy. Her daughter really grew up and would share the burden for herself!
Mei Xiaoran picked a small watermelon and cut it. The father and the other were half of them. "Dad, we have been busy for a while, and we are still hungry. Now let's eat a piece of watermelon and use it as a pad."
"Okay, why not!"
After running for a while, Mei Zhonghua was thirsty and hungry for a long time, so he ate half a watermelon. It's not just watermelon, it's still affordable.
Mei Xiaoran also gulped, this watermelon is so sweet!
This is not like the watermelon grown with chemical fertilizers. It tastes like a chemical fertilizer. This is an authentic peasant watermelon. It is full of melon juice and the sand is sweet and delicious. It is really delicious.
The two of them were eating watermelons. Someone saw Mei Zhonghua pull another cart of watermelons and rushed over after hearing the wind.
At this moment, the role played by the first car of watermelon has not appeared until now, and it is simply an advertising effect. Watermelon is not like anything else. It is something you can eat when you take it home. People who have tasted the watermelon are naturally reluctant to miss the opportunity and hurry to buy a second one. Those who have not bought a watermelon just now are in relatives and neighbors. I also rushed to buy melons under the recommendation. I was afraid that I would be late. After all, it was a unique business. There were so many melons.
Among them was Qi Yao, whose face was sorely beaten.
She put down her harsh words just before leaving, but now she is riding a bicycle and rushing to buy melons.
Bicycles were a rarity at the time. A bicycle cost one or two hundred yuan and an industrial ticket was needed to buy it. This was only possible because Qi Guomin was the captain. To be replaced by ordinary people, even with tickets and money, it is not so easy to buy. After all, it is a planned economy and a commodity circulating in the market.
limited.
Seeing Qi Yao coming, Mei Zhonghua enthusiastically stepped forward to greet, "Yaoyao is here?"
"Uncle Mei, my dad asked me to come over and buy two watermelons."
Seeing Mei Zhonghua, Qi Yao ignored Mei Xiaoran, as if she was not the one who came just now.
Mei Xiaoran deliberately smiled and asked: "What's wrong, was that watermelon delicious just now?"
Qi Yao glared at her fiercely, and didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Mei Zhonghua carefully picked two large watermelons for her, one tied to the seat of the car and the other in the front basket. "Set it up. Slow down when you ride."
Qi Yao turned around and left, but Mei Xiaoran stopped her, "Qiyao, are you buying melons or grabbing melons? One melon is fifty cents, and two melons are one yuan. Get it quickly."
"Ran Ran, what are you talking about?" Mei Zhonghua hurriedly persuaded his daughter, "Qiyao is not an outsider, these two watermelons were given to her by her dad." He still has to fawn on Qi Guomin. What are two melons? As long as Qi Guomin is willing to divide the land for him, he can give Qi Yao two more melons.
When Qi Yao heard this, Chong Mei Xiaoran proudly said, "Mei Xiaoran, did you hear that, this melon was given to me by your father."
"Oh, since my dad said that, I can't stop you... Anyway, your family's life is not good. It's okay to eat two melons for nothing."
Qi Yao was furious when she heard that, "Who said that my family's life is not good? My family even has bicycles, why would it be bad?"
"See you can't even buy a watermelon, so your days are good?"
Mei Xiaoran deliberately raised her voice, which prevented Qi Yao from coming to the stage and made other people who bought melons laugh.
Qi Yao paled with anger, and angrily dropped a dollar, "Give you a dollar, I am not rare to take advantage of your house, and it is not because my family has no money."
Mei Zhonghua hurriedly stuffed the money into her hand, "My niece, this Uncle Qian can't ask for it."
However, Qi Yao said that he would not accept anything, sullenly, "Why don't you pay for something, I won't eat your watermelon for nothing, you take the money."
When Qi Yao left, Mei Zhonghua couldn't help complaining to Mei Xiaoran, "You are also true, not just two watermelons, I also expect Captain Qi to divide the land for us sooner."
"Dad, you don't want to think about it. Qi Yao's dad asked her to buy melons, and she took it away without paying a penny. This dollar didn't let her fall. I can guarantee that even if she goes home, she won't Tell an adult about this, isn't your favor given for nothing?"
Meizhong
Hua Yi thought it was too, but Mei Xiaoran was still a bit blamed, "Then you can't speak uncomfortably."
"My dad, when dealing with people like her, you shouldn't give her a good face!" Mei Xiaoran smiled, "How much money can we make from selling a watermelon, so I am not used to her problem. You want to give it to her." If the Yao family is giving favors, why don’t you take a trip in person to deliver the melons, can you get a good one?"
"Forget it, Dad can't tell you. Taking advantage of the crowds at this moment, let's sell the melons and go home for dinner."
This car of watermelons is selling faster than the car just now. Mei Zhonghua is really good at picking melons, but Xiaodongying's watermelons are not known locally. Xiaodongying is all sandy, and this summer is dry, so it's not delicious!
By midday, this car of watermelons was also sold out, and only two small watermelons were left. Mei Xiaoran proposed to take them home to eat. One was of course left for her own family to eat, and the other was taken directly to Du Aijun's house in the courtyard.
"Auntie, this is the watermelon my dad asked me to carry over."
Li Cuiping took a look and said he was embarrassed to accept it, "What are you doing, take it back and eat it, I don't want it."
"Auntie, I have watermelons in my house, it's not a good thing, you take it."
Li Cuiping helped her out that day, she remembered this love, and it's not uncommon for her to hold a watermelon to contact the landlord!
"You child is so far-sighted."
Li Cuiping wanted to resign again, but Mei Xiaoran had already ran into his house.
Mei Zhonghua asked Mei Xiaolei to put the watermelon in the well water and eat it later when Li Mingyun came back.
"Dad, calculate how much we earned today?"
Seeing Mei Zhonghua take out a lot of change, Mei Xiaoran was very excited.
She must have seen more money than this in her previous life, but it has a different meaning. This can be regarded as her labor income, and she can't help but feel a little excited.
Mei Zhonghua counted the money, then settled the accounts, and almost jumped up excitedly, "Twenty-one yuan and four, excluding the cost of buying cigarettes, a net profit of 21 yuan and four!"
This number is so exciting that he can earn 20 yuan a day? This is something that I didn't even dare to dream of, but he could do it!
Even if he sells food, he can't sell it so fast and earn so much. After all, selling food can't make a clear path.
Mei Xiaoran was also happy, "Dad, take advantage of the good business, you will run to pull two carts of melons tomorrow, before I start school, we will make another money."
"Why not, tomorrow I will go to Xiaodongying Lagua!"
