Song Tan’s Chronicle

Chapter 339: 338. Taste before you buy

Views:

Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously adjusted the position of Zero on his back, and then said:

"Then you pick one. But be careful with it. These melons are very sensible. If you use too much force, they will burst."

The girl was stunned for a moment, then she burst out laughing: "Really? They are all gratitude melons? Fine, I'll take the two big ones on the side. Weigh them first, and then tell me how to make the melons burst with just a touch."

As he said this, he flicked his middle finger at the round watermelon, and it hit his head with a bang!

“Bang!”

The next moment, the melon cracked with a "crack".

Everyone: …

It was quiet all around.

The air is filled with the unique sweet fragrance of watermelon, refreshing, as if the hot summer wind has calmed down.

Qiao Qiao was also dumbfounded, and looked at her hesitantly with the plastic bag in hand: "The melon is broken, so... will you still buy it?"

“Buy, buy, buy!”

The girl reacted instantly and nodded eagerly. She had been running the melon stall for 10 to 20 years, but this was the first time she bought such a sensible melon baby!

What are you still hesitating about! This is the good melon she saved in her previous life!

This whole commotion made the atmosphere of selling melons particularly hot.

The customers who had only ordered one melon and were still hesitant and distressed when they came, now became more and more entangled when they thought of the sweet fragrance just now—

Now that you’re here, why not buy one more

Now that I’ve bought everything, do you want to pick two bigger ones

Reason tells me: These melons are not that big, and each one costs about a hundred yuan. Isn’t this too extravagant

But my emotions are shouting a hundred times: their food is different! The aroma of the melon is different!

The villain in his heart was jumping back and forth. Finally, the man in the queue came to Qiao Qiao and asked -

"Why don't you let me have a bite first! It smells so good!"

Everyone: …

Fortunately, the man reacted instantly:

"I mean, what I mean is - what if the melon isn't sweet? Can you open it and taste it first? Then I can choose the size."

Qiao Qiao had never experienced such a scene before. He looked back and said disappointedly, "But we drove too carefully here, and the straw was very thick. What should we do if the melons are not broken?"

Song Tan was happy: "It doesn't matter, I'll just open one."

Then he took a look at the pile of melons, picked out one that was almost ripe, and slapped his hands. The melon "cracked" and broke into two halves.

Another exclamation came from the crowd: "Why are all the melons so good?!"

"Ah, this must be naturally ripe, so sweet and fragrant!"

"Hurry, hurry, I want to have a taste too!"

"Don't worry, boss. I'll buy the big one after I taste it!"

Song Tan thought: Once you taste it, you won’t be able to escape.

But his face was full of honesty: "It doesn't matter, it's all thanks to everyone's support, it's nothing to taste the melon."

Then he asked the owner of the nearby snack stand for a disposable spoon: "Here, everyone who wants to try it can take a spoonful, but don't take too much, give the people behind you a chance."

Everyone rushed forward and vowed: "Don't worry, we are not that kind of people!"

A moment later—

"Haven't you already eaten the previous one? Hurry up!"

"Yes! Do you want to buy it? Don't block us and try it first."

The man smiled innocently: "Well, I didn't taste the difference just now. Have another bite. This one will definitely work."

"Ah?" Qiao Qiao took it seriously: "Don't you realize that watermelon is so delicious?"

The other party also nodded solemnly, then took the spoon handed over by Qiao Qiao and swore: "Don't worry, I will taste it!"

After a while.

He sighed again: "How about... I'll try it again! This one has a crunchy texture. I used to like the sandy texture."

Everyone reacted and was immediately furious: "Good on you! You are so shameless!"

"That's right, what are you talking about? It's clearly a billion mouthfuls!"

"You're lying to kids!"

Qiao Qiao finally realized what was happening, but she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she laughed, her fair face full of childishness:

"Then don't eat it! It's okay if you don't buy it. I'm not angry."

Who can stand this?!

What's more, this watermelon made him use his shamelessness!

The man yelled, "I want five! Big ones!"

Then he leaned over and was pushed out of the line: "No matter how many you want, just go over there and buy some after you've tasted them! It's my turn!"

Good fellow, this guy obviously came prepared, he took the spoon and scooped it down vigorously! A big piece of watermelon was dug out by him, and the people behind him couldn't help but envy him.

A moment later—

"I want three... Never mind, four. Just pick the big ones!"

The boss of the braised food shop quietly squeezed into the queue and it took him a long time to get his turn.

At this moment, the big watermelon in Qiao Qiao's hand had been dug so hard that the white skin could be seen. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But at this moment, he still took the spoon and carefully scooped out the red flesh from the edge.

After taking a bite—woooooo!!! It was so refreshing and sweet that it almost made my head fly off!

He had never eaten anything so delicious in his life.

The boss of the braised food shop had tears in his eyes.

He finally understood why the price was so high and why he was so popular. He deserved to be rich!

Now, he is going to go bankrupt!

While waiting in line, he thought that the melons were not very big anyway, so he could pick a small one weighing three pounds, and sixty yuan for one would be an acceptable luxury.

But after taking a bite, he had only one thought in his mind -

"Give me three big ones!"

One at my own home, one at my parents' home, and one at my parents-in-law's home.

"Ah," Qiao Qiao looked at the few remaining watermelons in the back of the car with some hesitation, and said regretfully, "There are no big ones!"

After tasting the melons, everyone said they wanted a big one. We picked the biggest ones, from seven or eight kilograms to six or seven kilograms. Finally, the five-kilogram ones were all picked out. The remaining ones were really not that big anymore.

Braised food boss:? !!!

How could this be!

But when I looked up, it was true!

Spread on the thick golden straw are fashionable little melons with emerald green stripes. At first glance, they weigh no more than five kilograms at most.

Those three pounds of small melons and eggs that he had thought of before, now there is actually a large piece of them.

But... but three pounds of such delicious melon is enough for him to show off a few times

Qiao Qiao was considerate: "Do you want to buy six small ones?"

The stewed food owner was very unwilling: "That's too much melon rind, it's not cost-effective..."

Qiao Qiao was anxious and shouted, "How can it not be cost-effective? The melon rind can be used to make a cold dish. It's super super delicious! It's as delicious as watermelon!"

What

Everyone came up immediately and asked, "Is this true? Do you have a recipe? Tell me!"

Qiao Qiao: ... The students in front of him talk a lot, and they don’t seem to be as smart as those in the live broadcast room. He really still likes the students in the live broadcast room.

But, as a teacher, there is nothing to complain about!

Teacher Qiao Qiao had no choice but to sell melons while talking!
