Shopkeeper Wang looked over as Su Cangshan pointed, and his face suddenly turned into a flower with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I just happened to bring some money. Let's pick it right now! By the way, how much does this watermelon cost per pound?"
Su Ruanruan followed the three of them. When she heard that shopkeeper Wang had just remembered to ask about the price, she felt a little funny, but she did not laugh out loud, let alone say a word.
Now that everything has been discussed, of course it is Su Cangshan and Xiao Yougen who will take the lead.
She is just a five-year-old child and should not be involved in this.
Su Cangshan glanced at Shopkeeper Wang and said, "Thirty cents per catty."
After saying this, Su Cangshan didn't even show it on his face, but he was already feeling uneasy in his heart, fearing that Shopkeeper Wang would turn around and leave when he got angry.
But what Su Cangshan was worried about didn't happen. After hearing the price, shopkeeper Wang smiled and nodded, "Okay, then it's thirty cents per catty. Let's pick it up and weigh it now! I happened to bring a big scale .It’s also more convenient to use.”
Neither the Su family nor the Xiao family have great names.
Su Cangshan and Xiao Yougen were thinking about how to weigh themselves before. Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Wang came prepared.
The carriage of the mule cart was very large, and besides the scale, there was only one row of rear seats.
I guess before I came here, shopkeeper Wang had already moved the things inside just to make room for the watermelon.
It seems that Shopkeeper Wang is bound to win over Xigua!
Although she understood this, Su Ruanruan did not regret setting the price.
No matter when, people cannot be dissatisfied.
Thirty cents per pound is already a very high price.
The ripe watermelons were picked one by one, weighed together, and finally put into the basket and put into the mule cart. It took half an hour of work.
It’s not that there are too many watermelons, it’s just that it’s more troublesome when filling them.
As soon as you look at the watermelon, you can tell that it must not be bumped, otherwise it will break easily.
Fortunately, I just finished harvesting wheat and there are a lot of wheat straw at home. I simply put thick wheat straw on the bottom of the bamboo basket, put a watermelon on it, and wrap it with wheat straw, so that the watermelon and watermelon will not be tightly packed together. Crowded together, even if the road conditions are bad, the watermelon should not break.
The more careful you are when pretending, the more time it takes, but no one finds it troublesome.
When the watermelons were finally loaded, there was no room for Shopkeeper Wang to sit in the carriage, so he simply sat in the front with the driver.
Su Ruanruan and others watched the mule cart go away, looked at each other, and laughed silently.
This time, the Su family has twenty watermelons and the Xiao family has twenty-one.
The Su family's watermelon weighs a total of 260 kilograms, and each kilogram is thirty cents, which is seven thousand eight hundred cents, or seven or eight cents of silver.
The Xiao family's watermelon weighs a total of 273 kilograms, and each kilogram is thirty cents, which is eight thousand one hundred and ninety cents, which is eight taels per cent and another ninety cents.
Being able to earn so much money in one day was something that was unimaginable before.
But now, they not only dare to think about it, they are also 100% sure that in a few days, when the next batch of watermelons matures, they will still have so much income.
Coupled with the income from strawberries, life for their family has really become easier.
The summer harvest holiday happened to be over, so Su Cangshan took Su Laifu and the four of them to the school in Daling Village that afternoon.
When they came back, everyone's face was beaming with joy.
Seeing them like this, Su Ruanruan and others also laughed.
