Uncle took the knife and couldn't wait to cut it open, and invited Song Tan to eat it.
This is really...
Song Tan quickly shook his head: "No, no, we are full at home, this watermelon is for you guys to eat, I have to send some watermelons to my uncle later, so I won't keep any more."
Brother Yanping repeatedly told me not to stay too long and give me a chance to chat! Otherwise, how could I resist when he mentioned going back to the city to take the civil service exam
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, kid?" Auntie hurriedly stopped him and said, "We have watermelons at home. I'll bring you two baskets of peaches..."
Before he could finish, another truck came outside and honked twice.
The uncle put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and before he could even express his admiration, he rushed out again.
“Here it comes!”
Seeing this, Song Tan hurriedly said, "Aunt, you guys go ahead and do your work. We'll leave first! I'll come to see you another day when I have time."
"Remember, keep the watermelon for yourself!"
The aunt looked at Tan Tan, then looked at the driver outside who was anxiously unloading the goods, and couldn't help but sigh.
Then he hurriedly watched Song Tan get on the car, waved his hand, and went back to move the baskets to unload the goods.
As the car drove out of the wholesale market, Qiao Qiao subconsciously touched her chest and said, "Sister, I was so nervous just now."
Song Tan was surprised: "Oh, you are nervous now?"
Qiao Qiao nodded seriously: "When Auntie spoke, I remembered how Brother Yanping begged me, and my heart started pounding."
“Hahahahahaha…” How many people did Zhang Yanping beg for help
Song Tan was overjoyed.
Then he looked at the sky and said, "It's almost 8 o'clock. Let's hurry up. We have to send it to grandma's house later."
This time I went straight to my uncle's house.
Just in case, Song Tan made a phone call first:
"Uncle, the first batch of watermelons at home are ripe. Qiao Qiao and I will send some over later. Are you home?"
“Yes, yes, yes…” said the uncle politely.
"Wait a minute—"
The voice of my aunt came from the phone. After a while, the phone was handed over: "Tan Tan, we have to go up the stairs at home, which is not convenient. Let's wait in the store. It happens that we haven't returned yet."
The uncle also responded quickly, and replied to the person on the phone: "Yes, Tantan, just come to the door of my store and we will move it back ourselves."
Song Tan: …
If Ziyi and the TV program weren't so loud, she would really believe that they were in the store at the moment.
The cleverness of my aunt was of no use at all, she used it all for this—
The hardware store is still open at around eight or nine o'clock. What customers are it waiting for
They were clearly at home, but they deliberately sent the melons to the hardware store, which clearly showed that they didn't want to keep any more people or entertain them.
However, since my uncle didn't want to entertain them, they didn't want to stay any longer!
The car turned and went straight to the door of the hardware store.
After getting off the car, Song Tan reminded Qiao Qiao: "Remember to tell me that this watermelon is 20 yuan per pound!"
Qiao Qiao nodded seriously.
Then he looked at the three little watermelons and became happy again: "I can hold three this time!"
"Okay, okay! I'll let you hold them all. Don't drop them, or we'll have to give you another one."
Qiao Qiao nodded cautiously, hugged all three of them carefully, and then followed them forward.
This row of shops was all dark, with no other light sources except for the signs and street lamps. The shutters of the hardware store were all pulled down, and Song Tan thought -
My aunt really doesn't have the talent to tell a lie or cover it up. Can't you just not tell it next time? It's so boring.
After waiting for a few minutes, he saw a couple staggering over to him. Uncle Song was a little embarrassed: "Well... just now... just now we were in the store... You guys came so quickly, I was thinking I should wait a while..."
This doesn't make sense, Song Tan smiled and said nothing.
The shutter door opened, and the lights in the room came on. Mao Li looked at the three little watermelons in Qiao Qiao's arms, and then at the empty space behind him, and her tone of voice became shrill:
"Just these three melons? They came all the way here... You can buy them at the fruit store next door, it's not that necessary."
Song Tan also laughed: "Fruit shops sell them for more than ten yuan a pound. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it, auntie."
Then he looked at Uncle Song:
"Uncle, the first batch of melons my family planted were early melons, which are famous for being small. This melon is not very big, but the taste is first-class."
Qiao Qiao also nodded seriously: "20 yuan per pound!"
Good boy, this time uncle didn’t hear it in two pieces, but…
“20 yuan per pound?!”
The eldest aunt jumped up and said, "How can anyone buy such an expensive watermelon?"
"I don't know either." Song Tan said in a serious tone, "Anyway, the price is fixed. We only sold two or three hundred pieces this afternoon."
Two or three hundred
Mao Li did a rough calculation in her mind - if each melon weighs three pounds, these three melons would cost about one or two hundred yuan!
The uncle stood there, looking at the three small watermelons, frowned, and then said earnestly: "Tan Tan, you have to be down-to-earth when doing business, and the same applies to agricultural products. You sell this watermelon for 20 yuan, which is a dishonest business. If the villagers know about it, I will feel ashamed when I go out!"
Song Tan: …
What he said does make sense, but it’s okay for others to say it. My uncle has tasted so many things in his own home, so how can he still say that
Still feeling dull? Is there a black hole on your face
"Uncle, aren't the vegetables my family sent you before worth 20 yuan per pound? Aren't they delicious?"
Uncle Song: “…”
It is delicious, the best it has ever been, and it is definitely worth the 20 yuan, but isn’t this teaching children how to be a good person
Why doesn't this child behave like a girl? She is not obedient or sensible at all.
He thought about it, and finally felt that it was just like what Mao Li said, Song Tan became arrogant after earning a little money and was no longer willing to listen to the advice of his elders.
At this moment, he sighed: "Forget it, you young people don't like to listen to my nagging. I won't be annoying anymore."
Song Tan thought: She is willing to listen to nagging, and she has plenty of patience. But for people you hate, there is no need to wrong yourself.
They had been here for quite some time, and the water dispenser was nearby, but they didn't even ask for a sip of water, and the fan in the store wasn't on. As soon as the shutter door was opened, the store was very hot and stuffy, and Qiao Qiao was sweating on his head.
Fortunately, this couple can also enjoy the heat.
Moreover, a three-pound watermelon is not big, but what is the price of watermelon nowadays
Especially these small ones. Song Tan went to a fruit shop and saw that people called them hand-peeled watermelons, and they cost 11 or 12 yuan per pound!
"Uncle, look at what you said. Isn't it inconvenient to talk here when it's getting late?"
Song Tan faked a smile:
"If you can find time to go back to your hometown, we can talk about business. I still have a lot to ask you."
Mao Li immediately shouted: "That won't do!"
"School has to start classes again soon, Ziyi has to go to cram school, and there are people guarding the store. How can we have the time to do that all day long? Let's go back during the holidays."
