"No, no!" The students beside him said quickly, "The watermelon is so good that it got cracked accidentally."
"Can you smell it? The smell is real!"
"That's right, Qianqian, I didn't expect you to spend money..."
After saying this, everyone came back to their senses and looked at Wu Qianqian with a slightly complicated look.
You said you were harsh and sarcastic in the group, which caused everyone to misunderstand you. I didn't expect you would really be willing to spend money to support your old classmate's business...
2000 yuan! That’s a lot!
This made everyone feel a little embarrassed when they recalled the previous misunderstanding.
Wu Qianqian didn't notice it, she just smiled shyly after hearing these words:
"You know I spent 2,000 yuan on watermelon, right? Well, it's been a long time since we last met, so this is nothing."
"It's mainly because Song Tan brags about how delicious her melons are every day, saying they're the best in the world... Don't I want everyone to try some too?"
Then he looked at Song Tan with a half-smile: "Song Tan, if your melons are not so delicious later, we old classmates will not be able to take care of your business in the future."
Song Tan looked at the two boys who were wiping the melon with a tissue and preparing to cut it, and now he smiled very modestly:
"It's okay, you'll know after you eat it."
The boy who was about to cut the melon was also considerate: "Come on, call all the children in. The melon is not cold yet, so it can be eaten by them."
The 5-jin melon is not very big, and the boy was very skillful and cut it into thin triangular pieces in just a few strokes. His movements were particularly quick and dexterous.
This surprised the other students: "Your knife skills are pretty good!"
The other party put the machete away and said modestly, "It's nothing. My family runs a family restaurant. If you need anything, please contact me. I will definitely give you a discount!"
Song Tan also gained a lot of knowledge.
How can I put it? Today’s young people are so lively, cheerful and generous—just like me!
She smiled and watched everyone eat a piece, secretly looking forward to it.
Sure enough, as soon as she took a bite of the watermelon, the little girl with two pigtails standing in the front immediately shouted, "Mom, this watermelon is so delicious!"
The mother at the side had already stuffed the rest of the watermelon into her mouth. Her cheeks were full and the juice was seeping out. She was so distressed that she quickly wiped it with a tissue...
It took him a long time to answer his daughter: "It is indeed delicious."
It was only then that everyone reacted and stared at the remaining melons with salivating eyes:
"I mean, no wonder Song Tan's melons are sold for 20 yuan a pound. This is it. It tastes like a tribute!"
Song Tan said modestly: "Fortunately, the planting cost is high, 20 yuan is enough to cover the cost... After all, this is our first year, so we can only open up the market first."
How false this sounds!
Wu Qianqian didn't believe it at all.
But she smacked her lips, savoring the sweetness just now, and couldn't even say anything to refute -
So angry!
She puffed up her cheeks and stared at Song Tan fiercely. However, none of the classmates paid attention to her anymore. Instead, they all stared eagerly at the melons in the basin:
"I've only been soaking in it for a few minutes. It's too cold. It's not good for your health..."
"Why don't we just eat it like this..."
"Yes. I think so too. Watermelon is naturally cool..."
There are also children whining: "Mom/Dad, I want to eat more..."
Okay, everyone agreed, so the boy who was good at knife skills swiftly brought over two more melons.
This time, no one was even polite. They just took a piece and stuffed it into their mouths like they were queuing up in a kindergarten!
Woohoo so delicious!!!
“… It’s just not satisfying!”
For 20 old classmates, this watermelon is only enough to fill their teeth. Everyone turned their heads and focused their attention on the small pile in the corner.
When the last small pile was brought to the table, the squad leader choked with pain and said, "Song Tan, oh Song Tan, what should I do? After eating such a melon, who would want those mediocre women?"
Song Tan answered sincerely: "No, I still have to think about it. Common and vulgar things are cheap."
So real!
Everyone was so upset that they were about to cry.
"I don't care!" The squad leader stuffed the last bite into his mouth fiercely: "I'll go to your house to harvest rice tomorrow. I'll buy 10 watermelons like this before I leave!"
"Yes! I want to buy one too!"
"Damn it, if you all go, what should I do? Song Tan, are you selling these watermelons in the market?"
"I'm here." Song Tan looked embarrassed.
"We also have an online store and local group purchases. How about... I send you the link?"
She was like a simple old farmer, too shy to talk about business: "Otherwise, if there is no stock sometimes, I have to notify everyone one by one..."
Who wouldn’t be moved at that moment?!
The entire private room was filled with the sounds of scanning codes and linking.
Wu Qianqian stood there alone, and the melon in her mouth seemed to no longer be sweet - what do you call this
This is called spending two thousand dollars with great reluctance to make wedding clothes for others!
"cough-"
She tried to clear her throat, but no one paid any attention.
After a while, she coughed violently again - still no one paid any attention.
She tried her luck and said loudly, "By the way, Song Tan, we are all old classmates, you won't give me any discount at all, right? That's too inhumane."
Song Tan looked guilty: "That's right, Qianqian, you are really thoughtful. But the cost of growing watermelons is really high, and selling them now is a loss..."
She was in a dilemma: "How about this, aren't the students coming to my house tomorrow? I'll give each of them a cup of tea. Click on the link to my online store and take a look. It's the trial pack that costs 30 yuan."
“And…” She was also embarrassed: “Many of my watermelons are bought by acquaintances and relatives. I was afraid that the business would not continue, so I didn’t offer any discounts at the beginning… I’m sorry, it’s not that I’m stingy.”
"How about this, everyone go help tomorrow, there will be plenty of watermelons, if you can eat them, it's okay for each of you to eat 10."
Watermelon is delicious, but the food in her house is not bad at all. No, I'll just have to drink a few more cups of tea... I don't believe anyone can really eat 10 of them!
The little abacus in my heart was clacking, but everyone looked touched—
Nowadays, the most feared thing in doing business is favors.
Besides, Song Tan didn't care about his classmates. He had promised to treat everyone to a meal and even allocated a rice field for them to play with. Now he wants to give them tea and watermelon...
If she thinks about it this way, if she buys only one watermelon that costs 20 yuan per pound and is of this quality, she will lose a lot of money!
It made everyone feel a little embarrassed.
Only Wu Qianqian got the point inexplicably: "What? We have to go to Song Tan's house tomorrow? That village is remote and inconvenient. What's the point of going there? Isn't our farmhouse restaurant the same?"
