Chapter 341 341. Uncle’s watermelon
My uncle couldn’t wait to cut it open with a knife, and even invited Song Tan to come and eat——
This is really...
Song Tan quickly shook his head : "No, no, no, we have enough to eat at home, and you guys can still eat this melon. I will send some watermelons to my uncle later, so I won't keep any more."
Brother Yan Ping Qian Dingzhu Wan told me not to stay too long and give him a chance to chat! Otherwise, how would you be able to withstand the thought of returning to the city to take the official exam?
"You kid, why are you leaving in such a hurry!" The aunt stopped her quickly: "There are watermelons at home, and I will bring you two more baskets of peaches..."
Before he finished speaking, another truck came outside. Didi honked the horn twice.
As soon as the uncle put down the kitchen knife in his hand, he didn’t even have time to express his admiration, and rushed out again——
“Here he comes!”
Song Tan Seeing this, he quickly rubbed oil on the soles of his feet: "The aunties are busy first, let's go first! I'll see you another day when I have time."
"Remember, keep the watermelon for yourself!"
The aunt looked at Tantan, then at the driver outside who was anxious to unload the goods, and she couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
Then he hurriedly watched Song Tan get into the car, waved his hand, and went back to move the baskets and unload the goods.
The car drove out of the wholesale market, Qiao Qiao subconsciously touched her chest: "Sister, I was so nervous just now."
Song Tan was surprised: "Ah, you know how nervous you are now? ”
Qiao Qiao nodded very seriously: "When Auntie spoke, I thought of Brother Yanping begging me, and my heart was pounding."
"Hahahahaha..." How much did Zhang Yanping beg for? personal?
Song Tan was overjoyed.
Looking at the sky again: "It's almost 8 o'clock, let's hurry up, we have to send it to grandma's house when we get back later."
This time we went straight to my uncle's house.
Just in case, Song Tan made a phone call first:
"Uncle, a few of the first watermelons at home are ripe. Qiao Qiao and I will send some over later. Are you at home?"
"Zaaaaaa..." the uncle said politely.
“Wait a minute——”
The eldest aunt’s voice came out on the phone. After a while, the phone changed hands: “Tantan, we have to go up the stairs at home, which is inconvenient. Let’s wait in the store, we haven’t gone back yet.”
The uncle also followed the good advice and replied on the phone: "Yes, Tantan, you can go directly to the door of my store and we will move it back ourselves."
Song Tan:...
Zi Yihe Don't play the TV show so loudly, she really believes she is in the store right now.
Auntie's little shrewdness is of no use at all, all of it is used on this -
The hardware store is not closed at eight or nine o'clock, so what customers are we waiting for?
He was clearly at home, and he even wanted to take the melon to the hardware store, making it clear that he didn't want to keep anyone around or entertain him.
However, the uncle didn’t want to entertain, so they didn’t want to stay longer!
At this moment, the car turned and went directly to the door of the hardware store.
After getting out of the car, Song Tan also asked Qiao Qiao: "Remember later that this watermelon costs 20 yuan a pound!"
Qiao Qiao nodded seriously.
Then he looked at the three small watermelons and became happy again: "I can hold three this time!"
"Okay, okay! I'll hold them all for you, don't drop them, otherwise we have to give them to you again." One."
Qiao Qiao nodded cautiously, hugged all three of them carefully, and then moved forward.
This row of shops is dark, with no other light sources except signboards and street lamps. The rolling shutters of the hardware store were all closed, and Song Tan thought to herself——
Auntie really doesn’t have the talent to tell lies, so don’t tell her next time, right? Strangely boring. After waiting for a few minutes, he saw a couple wandering over by the side of the road. Uncle Song was still a little embarrassed: "What...just now...we were in the store just now...you guys came so fast, why should I..." I'll have to wait a while to think about it..."
Song Tan smiled and said nothing as the preface did not match the postscript.
The rolling shutter door opened and the lights in the room turned on. Mao Li looked at the three small watermelons in Qiaoqiao's arms, and then looked at the empty space behind him, and her tone of voice became sharp:
"Just these three melons? You can even buy them at the fruit shop at the entrance... so far away."
Song Tan also laughed: "The fruit shop costs more than ten yuan a pound, I'm afraid Auntie, you can’t bear it.”
Then he looked at Uncle Song:
"Uncle, the first batch of melons my family planted were early melons, which are famous for their small size. This melon is not too big, but its taste is first-class."< br>
Qiaoqiao also nodded seriously: "It's 20 yuan a pound!"
Good guy, this time the uncle didn't listen to two yuan, but...
"20 One pound? ”
The eldest aunt jumped up: "Can anyone buy such an expensive watermelon?"
"I don't know either." Song Tan said in a pretentious manner: "Anyway, the price has been fixed. I only have it this afternoon. Sold two or three hundred.”
Two or three hundred?
Mao Li made a rough calculation in her mind - if one weighs three kilograms, these three melons will cost one or two hundred yuan!
But the uncle stood there, looking at the three small watermelons, frowning, and then said seriously: "Tantan, you have to be down-to-earth in business, and the same goes for agricultural products. You sell melons 20. These are all profiteers. If I tell the people in the village, I will feel shameless even when I go out.”
Song Tan: ...
There is some truth to what he said, but it’s okay for others to say it. My uncle has tasted so many things from his own family, how can he still say this?
Still ashamed? Got a black hole on your face?
"Uncle, wasn't the food I sent you worth 20 yuan per catty? Wasn't it delicious?"
Uncle Song: "..."
It's delicious, it's unprecedentedly delicious, and it's definitely worth the 20 yuan, but isn't this the way to teach children how to be a good person?
Why does this child not look like a girl? He is not obedient and sensible at all.
He thought about it, and finally felt that it was just like Mao Li said, Song Tan became arrogant after earning just a few dollars, and he couldn't bear to listen to the advice of his elders.
At this moment, Song Tan sighed: "Forget it, you young people don't like to listen to my nagging. I won't be annoying."
Song Tan thought to herself: She is willing to listen to nagging. Yes, she has plenty of patience. But for people you hate, there is no need to wrong yourself.
It's been a long time since I came in, and the water dispenser is next to me. The two of them didn't even ask for a sip of water, and the fan in the store didn't turn on. As soon as the rolling shutter was opened, it was very hot in the store, and Qiao Qiao's head was so hot that she started to sweat.
Fortunately, these two couples can also enjoy the heat.
Also, three pounds of watermelon is not big, but what is the price of watermelon now?
Especially this kind of small one. Song Tan went to the fruit shop and saw that it was called hand-peeled watermelon, and it cost eleven or twelve yuan a pound!
"Uncle, look at what you said, isn't it getting late and it's inconvenient to talk here!"
Song Tan faked a smile:
"If you take the time to go back to your hometown, let's talk about business slowly. I still have many things to ask."
Mao Li immediately shouted: "Then No!"
"School is going to be in session recently, and Ziyi has to go to cram school. There are still people guarding this store, so how can you wait until the holidays to come back? ”
Ah, there should be a watermelon sponsor here!
There is one more chapter, later.
Uncle - he is full of fatherliness, and his wife tries to reason with him.
Hand-peeled watermelon is really expensive, with thin skin and small size. I wanted to buy it several times during the summer, but was persuaded not to buy it because of the price.
