Chapter 590: The world is as black as crows
“Unless he buys all the watermelons with his own money, it is impossible.”
“That is, the top scholar actually cheated others of their watermelons. , as expected, he came from a remote rural area."
A few maids on the second floor opposite the watermelon stall looked out the window quietly, covering their mouths with their little hands and belittling Zhu Pingan outside. Who knew that he was so ignorant just now and wanted to get my lady? When you are a concubine, you don’t even take a pee or take a photo of yourself, you are an ignorant country bumpkin!
Yan Lan was also looking out the window. Although she had a pretty face and gritted her teeth in hatred towards a young man with a long and honest face outside the window, her eyes were shining with inexplicable brilliance, unlike the maids around her. contempt.
"What's wrong Lan Lan? Could it be that this nerd you think can really help sell this cart of melons?"
Li Niang leaned against the window and glanced at Zhu Pingan outside, her delicate hands Playing with a lock of hair on her chest, her long black and silky hair flowed happily between her jade fingers, and then she cast her charming eyes on her sister-in-law Yan Lan's face and asked with a giggle. She didn't believe it anyway.
The old man pulled a cart of melons and sold them for two days. They just bought a few watermelons in the picture above. Others didn’t even think about buying them after hearing the price. Instead of spending six or seven times more It's a waste of money. It's better to wait ten more days for the watermelon to come down and buy it cheaply.
“This scoundrel!”
Yan Lan did not answer Li Niang, staring out the window with burning eyes, as if she had returned to the bathing scene that day, she gritted her teeth and said bitterly One sentence.
The girls on the second floor also looked out the window curiously.
"Don't worry, old man. I have a way to sell your watermelons quickly. You can also spend them this way in the next few days, and you will have the money for your bride price." ”
Zhu Pingan looked at the old man selling melons and looked worried. He thought of how he and his parents set up a stall in a small town a few years ago to sell delicacies and game, and wanted to help the old man solve the problem.
Hearing this, the old man selling melons shook his head with a wry smile, "Sir, please stop making fun of me. If I sell here for another day, if it still doesn't work, I'll move to another place tomorrow. Try your luck. "
Of course the old man selling melons wants to sell the watermelons quickly. These watermelons will spoil in two days, and he is more anxious than anyone else. However, after all, he has lived for fifty or sixty years and eats more salt than Zhu Pingan eats rice. He knows in his heart the reason why his watermelons cannot be sold, but there is nothing he can do. If the price is reduced, then the whole family will suffer. A whole winter of hard work has been wasted, and a lot of savings have gone into buying land, fertilizing, farm tools, etc.!
If you want to sell watermelons quickly, you have to lower the price, and it should be lowered by just a little bit, at least more than half cheaper. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sell it, but if he lowered the price, he would lose too much, which he couldn't bear.
It was precisely because he knew what the crux was that the old man selling melons did not believe what Zhu Pingan said.
"Fortunately, this old man has a brain, otherwise he would have cheated him out of the watermelon in vain." The little girls on the second floor flushed with excitement. Seeing Zhu Pingan's defeat, they were so happy that they were so happy just now. He doesn't know how to praise and deserves it.
Uh
Why are you so unconvincing?
"Old man, you are selling too slowly like this. No matter how many places you change, it will probably be the same." Zhu Pingan touched his nose and smiled helplessly at the corners of his mouth.
“There’s nothing we can do about it.” The old man selling melons sighed heavily.
"I have a way to sell your melons quickly. Really, believe it or not." Zhu Pingan shrugged and said again, his dark eyes full of confidence. .
"Do you really have any idea?" The old man selling melons raised his head and looked at Zhu Pingan with some hesitation.
"It's your money if it sells, but it's your money if it doesn't sell. Anyway, you won't suffer a loss." Zhu Pingan smiled with a smile on his face.
Yes, he will not suffer any loss whether he sells it or not. The old melon seller thought for a while, and then realized that what Zhu Pingan said made sense. No matter what, he would not suffer any loss. Then why not give it a try? Anyway, I haven’t sold a single watermelon for a long time.
If the little adult in front of me wants to pay attention to the watermelon, there is no need to go around such a big detour, just ask directly, and I don't dare to refuse.
“I wonder what the method is?” The old man asked after thinking clearly.
Oh, old man, you have been fooled by him. He wants to cheat you out of your watermelon. Looking at this scene outside the window, several little maids on the second floor opposite covered their eyes and let out a sigh, hating that iron cannot become steel.
“Your watermelon can’t be sold because everyone thinks the price is too expensive. If you sell the watermelon and everyone thinks it’s cheap and you’re taking advantage of it, then you don’t need to sell it, everyone will rush to buy it. "It's gone." Zhu Ping'an knocked on the watermelon and analyzed softly.
"But if you sell it cheaply, I will lose it."
The old man shook his head vigorously and looked at Zhu Pingan with disappointment. Just now he was treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but he didn't expect this little The method the adults mentioned was to sell it cheaply. If I could sell it cheaply, I would have sold it cheaply.
"Gee. There was such a big movement, I thought he could come up with some clever plan, but after working on it for a long time, it turned out that someone was selling it cheaply."
"If it could be sold cheaply, it would have been sold long ago. I sold it cheaply and still use it. You said it. Madam is right, nerds are nerds, and they want others to sell them cheaply, which makes people giggle to death."
The maids on the second floor covered their mouths and laughed, and looked at the champion outside the window. Contempt, laughed at.
Lin Niang's charming eyes also revealed a smile, but Miss Yan Er next to her frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
Faced with the questioning of the old man selling melons, Zhu Pingan shook his head with an enigmatic expression.
"Huh? Not selling it cheaply?" The old melon seller was surprised, and then looked confused. You just meant selling it cheaply.
“It’s not cheap, it’s free.” Zhu Ping’an smiled with a smile.
"Free gift." The old man selling melons turned pale and stuttered when speaking. He was so frightened that he looked at Zhu Ping'an like he was looking at the bastard second generation ancestor in the capital. Unexpectedly, I originally thought he was a good official helping the poor people, but I didn’t expect that the world is as dark as crows
Not only the old man, but the little maids on the second floor opposite were also filled with indignation. They verbally and verbally criticized Zhu Pingan upstairs, and their contempt could not be higher.
"Bah, bah, bah, the fox's tail is exposed. He actually asked the old man to give me watermelon for free! Look at him, he is still smiling, but he is still the number one scholar. It's really shameless."
"You can't afford a penny, but you still want to give someone a carload of melons, saying He's so high-sounding, look, he's still laughing, he's so shameless!"
"You have no experience of the world, you are greedy, and this carload of watermelons is so worthless. "(End of this chapter)
