After Song Tan's careful calculations, it was almost five o'clock when everyone arrived at the mountain.
At this time, the sun is not unbearable if you wear strict sun protection, and the watermelons in the field will look better under the bright light (convenient for taking photos).
However, there were too many people, and Song Tan had to spend some effort to prevent everyone from damaging the watermelon vines (it was also fortunate that everyone was an adult who knew each other and had the dignity to obey orders).
Look, a group of people were shouting and yelling, as if they were from a small town and had never seen a watermelon field. Some of them were even looking at the skin and the pattern, and they were afraid that the watermelons would explode if they were not careful, so they even bent their index fingers and pressed them down gently...
That look, that concentration, that excitement! All he needs is a flashlight to gamble on the stone.
The small ones are round and cute, but the big ones are too delicious for the whole family to eat.
…
If I really have to use one sentence to describe everyone, it would be a bear trying to break a stick.
One second he was yelling about this, and the next second he was squatting next to another one taking pictures from all angles.
In short, every melon seems to have great potential, and every melon seems to be very sweet...
The only difference is that no one picked the fruits before making a selection.
Everyone was enjoying the selection, and Song Tan was also happy to see it. This time, the first batch of small melons had to be cleared out.
The gap between the second crop is when big melons come into play!
As I was looking at it, I saw Zhang Wangjia coming over with a basket, smiling happily:
"Tan Tan, are these customers here to buy watermelons? Very good, they are all well behaved. This way we can sell watermelons faster and save energy."
Yes, the students did a pretty good job in this regard.
Although I occasionally accidentally step on the watermelon vines, most of the time I am careful.
Unfortunately, this is common among classmates, and it is not convenient to kill them every day!
Song Tan is going to take the path of sustainable development.
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Zhang Wangjia handing her the basket in his hand: "These are small tomatoes that have just ripened today. I think they are delicious. You can take them back as fruit. Girls like to eat them now."
"Okay." Song Tan was not polite either:
"Oh, Uncle Zhang. Didn't we invite you to our house for dinner a long time ago? Now that we have moved here, the house is spacious and can accommodate everyone. Why don't you eat with us every day? Why don't you cook by yourself at home?"
This time Zhang Wangjia did not refuse.
He just looked at the people in the field and said, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow after your guests have left."
"Okay!" Song Tan was also happy.
Zhang Bo is really competent in looking after the mountains, and she also wants him to have a good body so that he can work for a long time.
"I told my seventh cousin tonight to call him in the group chat when we have breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Okay," Zhang Wangjia remembered his old cell phone that was barely usable, and nodded in agreement.
The students were not afraid of hard work or fatigue. They worked in the watermelon field for more than half an hour before they stood up reluctantly.
"Song Tan, how about these melons I picked?"
"I picked three - hey, hey, hey, the one I just picked is too long, why can't I find it..."
"Song Tan, I want to buy 5. Can you help me see if what I've chosen is ok?"
"I picked a lot, I want 10."
"Fuck! Momo, you are so rich?!"
"I can't help it. I'm not married yet! So, I'm meeting my parents during the Dragon Boat Festival. I have to send two to my girlfriend's family, keep two for my own family, send two to my boss's family, and send two to my grandparents' family..."
During holidays, more gifts are always welcome.
That's true. After thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but sigh: "Money is really hard to spend!"
Only Wu Qianqian stood on the ground, feeling extremely conflicted.
That is to say... this watermelon is pretty good, I should buy a few for my family, but the tea is also pretty good, if I buy less, will people look down on me...
She thought about it and finally decided that she only had so much money, so she had to divide it equally: "Buy three taels of tea and three watermelons."
As for the remaining money, I have to keep it for now. After all, I really have no living expenses.
At this moment she finally regained a little bit of sanity - really a little bit, not much.
She felt that she had spent too much today and needed to be rational! Besides, why did she spend so much on Song Tan!
That's all. I have to keep it stable and never spend any more money! Wu Qianqian made up her mind.
…
And the ground.
Song Tan did not disappoint everyone. He took Zhang Wangjia to choose one by one for everyone.
Once you’ve made your selection, you’ll watch them pick it with their own hands, weigh it and pack it into bags on the spot, and put the QR code on the side. They sell it so efficiently!
Unfortunately, there were still a few people with children who were unable to come up with us. Fortunately, we had a taste of the watermelon at the class reunion dinner yesterday, so we only ordered two or three watermelons symbolically and failed to exert our purchasing power to the fullest.
But even so, Song Tan was extremely satisfied - this wave of highs and lows was enough to pay off the down payment for Baoshan!
Zhang Wangjia carried the selected watermelons one by one onto the tricycle and then sent them directly down the mountain.
Everyone looked at their empty wallets and felt happy to spend the money, but also felt a pain in their hearts.
But no matter what, today’s harvest is still fruitful. At worst, we can just live frugally in the future!
Anyway, this kind of good stuff really can't be missed.
Looking at the sky again, Song Tan said considerately: "Pick a few more to bring down the mountain to eat - you still have to drive back to the city in the evening, can you eat dinner earlier? You can also take a shower and have a good rest when you get back."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Everyone nodded, and then couldn't wait to ask her: "What are we having for dinner?"
I was full at noon, but after taking some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets, plus I worked non-stop this afternoon, I consumed energy quickly, and now I’m a little hungry.
Song Tan smiled shyly:
"It's nothing delicious, green pepper beef sauce, cucumber turned into eggs, cold watermelon rind - I'll post the recipe in the group later, remember to go back and don't waste the watermelon rind!"
"There are also eggplant, beans, stewed green peppers and pork ribs..."
"The main thing is that the rice we eat tonight was harvested by everyone themselves. You must eat more. It must be very delicious."
In order to have the rice, my seventh cousin specially prepared some side dishes - not only to go with the rice, but also to go with the green pepper beef sauce they had in stock.
It’s our last meal, why don’t we take a few bottles away
If you really have no money, there are cheaper pure chili sauces that will also work.
You know, when it's hot and people are resting, the two chili-cooking machines in my grandfather's yard never stop.
"They are just some ordinary home-cooked dishes, a little simple, please don't dislike them..." Song Tan said sincerely.
Everyone waved their hands!
Come on, after eating the food at Song Tan's house, even grass can taste the flavor of peaches, who would dislike it? !
What's more, I'm tired from work now and I'm in need of such food!
Oh, I'm even hungrier.
