Chapter 341 Uncle's Watermelon

Chapter 341 341. Uncle’s Watermelon

The uncle took the knife and couldn't wait to cut it open, and even invited Song Tan to come and eat——

This is really...

Song Tan quickly shook his head: "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 gave me many warnings and instructions, never stay any longer and give me 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 quickly stopped her: "There are watermelons at home, and I will bring you two more baskets of peaches..."

Before he finished speaking, another truck came outside and Didi honked the horn twice.

The uncle put down the kitchen knife in his hand and rushed out again without even having time to express his admiration——

"coming!"

Seeing this, Song Tan quickly rubbed oil on the soles of her feet: "The aunts are busy first, let's leave first! I'll see you another day when I have time."

"Remember, keep the watermelon for yourself!"

The aunt looked at Tan Tan and then at the driver outside who was anxious to unload the goods. 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.

As the car drove out of the wholesale market, Qiao Qiao subconsciously touched her chest: "Sister, I was so nervous just now."

Song Tan was pleasantly surprised: "Yeah, you know how nervous you are now?"

Qiao Qiao nodded very seriously: "As soon as Auntie spoke, I thought of Brother Yanping begging me, and my heart started pounding."

"Hahahahaha..." How many people did Zhang Yanping ask for?

Song Tan was overjoyed.

Look 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 I went straight to my uncle’s house.

Just in case, Song Tan made a call first:

"Uncle, some of the first watermelons at home are ripe. Qiaoqiao and I will send some over later. Are you at home?"

"Are you..." the uncle said politely.

"Wait a minute--"

The eldest aunt's voice came out on the phone. After a while, the call 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 followed suit and replied on the phone: "Yes, Tan Tan, you can go directly to the door of my store and we will move back by ourselves."

Song Tan:......

Ziyi and the TV show don't speak so loudly, she really believes that she is in the store right now.

The eldest aunt's little shrewdness is of no use at all, all of it is used on this——

The hardware store is open 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 them, so they didn’t hesitate to stay longer!

At this moment, the car turned around and went directly to the door of the hardware store.

After getting out of the car, Song Tan also asked Qiao Qiao: "Remember to mention 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'm here to hold you. Don't fall, or we'll have to give you another one."

Qiao Qiao nodded cautiously, carefully held the three of them in her arms, and then walked forward.

This row of shops was dark, with no other light sources except signboards and street lamps. The rolling shutters of the hardware store were all pulled down, Song Tan thought to herself——

My eldest aunt 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, I still... I’ll have to wait a while to think about it…”

The preface didn't match the postscript, so Song Tan smiled and said nothing.

The rolling shutter opened and the lights in the room turned on. Mao Li looked at the three small watermelons in Qiao Qiao's arms and then looked at the empty space behind him, and her tone became sharp:

"Just these three melons? You can even buy them at the fruit shop in front of your door this far away. It's really not that big of a deal."

Song Tan also laughed: "The fruit shop costs more than ten yuan a pound. I'm afraid you won't be able to part with it, auntie."

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."

Qiao Qiao also nodded seriously: "It's 20 yuan per pound!"

Good guy, this time the uncle didn’t listen to two opinions, but...

"20 yuan a pound?!"

The eldest aunt jumped up: "Can anyone buy such an expensive watermelon?"

"I don't know either." Song Tan said in a mocking tone, "Anyway, the price was set, and only two or three hundred were sold in the afternoon."

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 you must be down-to-earth in agricultural products. If you sell this melon for 20, you are a profiteer." , If I tell the people in the village, I will feel ashamed even when I go out!"

Song Tan:......

There is a certain truth in what he said, but it's okay for others to say this. Uncle has tasted so many things from his own family, how can he still say this?

Still have a dull face? 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 is delicious, more delicious than ever before, and 20 yuan is definitely worth it, but isn't this the principle of teaching children how to be human?

Why is this child not like a girl, not obedient and sensible at all?

He thought about it, and finally felt that just like Mao Li said, Song Tan made a little money, and he became arrogant, and he couldn't listen to the advice of the elders.

At this moment, he sighed: "Forget it, you young people don't like to listen to my nagging. I won't be annoying."

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.

After coming in for so long, the water dispenser was next to them, and the two of them didn't even ask for a sip of water, and the fan in the store was not turned 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, the couple could also bear the heat.

Moreover, a three-jin watermelon is not big, but what is the price of watermelon now?

Especially this small one, Song Tan went to the fruit store and saw that they called it hand-peeled watermelon, and it was 11 or 12 yuan per pound!

"Uncle, look at what you said, it's getting late, isn't it inconvenient to talk here!"

Song Tan faked a smile:

"If you can take time to go back to your hometown, we can talk about business slowly, I still have a lot of things to ask."

Mao Li immediately shouted: "That won't work!"

"The school has to go to class recently, Ziyi has to go to cram school, and there are people guarding the store. How can we have the time all day long? Let's go back during the holidays."

Ah, there should be a watermelon sponsor here!

There is another chapter, later.

Uncle - full of fatherly flavor, his wife rushed to him to reason.

Hand-peeled watermelon is really expensive, thin skin, small one, I wanted to buy it several times in the summer, but was discouraged by the price.
