Main Text Chapter 6 Going to Sell Watermelons?

Zhou Jiexi tapped on a melon and felt that it was already ripe, so he picked it off and picked it up, then looked around. "I'm dizzy, there's no place to put it. It seems that I'm going to bring something in next time. Let's dress it up a bit, and let's eat watermelon first." Zhou Jiexi said.

Zhou Jiexi returned to the room with the watermelon in his arms, found a fruit knife in the drawer, and returned to the space. When I got to the space, I realized that I forgot to take the watermelon, so I went out and carried the watermelon in again. Just go to the living land under the mother tree, arrange the watermelon, pick up the fruit knife and insert it in, and then slowly move and cut it. non-stop.

After taking the last bite of watermelon seeds, Zhou Jiexi said, "Sweet, so delicious, really, so delicious, sweet and delicious, full of sugar, it tastes rusty, a bit like the taste of eating it when I was a child." Zhou Jiexi said with emotion.

"Come here, let's eat together." Zhou Jiexi said to the goblins. The goblins looked at each other, and then the ones from a distance flew over, and the ones by the tree came directly over. "Thank you, my lord, for the reward." Zhou Jiexi waved his hand directly and said: "Eat, you're welcome, most of this is due to your credit." Zhou Jiexi said with an air of wealth.

After Zhou Jiexi finished eating the watermelon, he returned to the room and lay on the bed, thinking about where to sell it tomorrow.

"There are about half an acre of watermelons in the space. They are all big local watermelons with green skin, black stripes and red hearts. As for the variety, Zhou Jiexi doesn't know, and he's not a professional. It's good enough. There are five hundred watermelons in total. Many, about ten catties."

"My melon costs 8 to 10 yuan a catty. It shouldn't be too much. Now the watermelons on the market are also four to five yuan a catty. I am so delicious, so there should be no problem. Rare things are expensive. I am now There are no conditions, if the conditions are good, my buddy will not sell it there, but directly auction it. At that time, it will depend on how much I am happy to take out."

"The little devils' watermelon is a black skin. They say it tastes good. It sold for 650,000 yen for 8 kilograms, which is about 6,100 U.S. dollars. It's only 16 catties. How much is a catty? The ingredients I bought, and the uncertain factors, but I am satisfied with half the price."

"Forget it, I don't want to get up early tomorrow to sell melons, so I will go to bed decisively." Zhou Jiexi slowly fell asleep after thinking about it.

The next morning, Zhou Jiexi got up early, which was still forcing himself to get up. "For the sake of money, come on." After yelling loudly, Zhou Jiexi got dressed and tidied up a bit, sort of taking care of himself.

"Xiaojie, why did he get up so early today? Usually, you don't open the door until 10 o'clock. Come over to eat quickly." Father Zhou said in surprise.

Zhou's mother also took a strange look at Zhou Jiexi, and went to serve Zhou Jiexi porridge.

Zhou Jiexi couldn't help but blush a bit, thinking about the time in his last life, he was indeed a mess. Zhou Jiexi sat down and looked at Father Zhou and said, "My sister is right, I decided to go out today and see what I plan to do in the future."

"Ah, what? You said you're going to find a job? It won't be another three-minute fever."? Father Zhou didn't react when he heard what Zhou Jiexi said, and he was surprised for a while before he spoke.

Zhou's mother who just came out just heard, "What are you talking about, my son knows how to make progress now, and you are still pouring cold water on him." Zhou's mother felt aggrieved, so she said to Zhou's father. The second sister also secretly smiled when she heard this. (I have a big belly, I am raising a baby at home, and my husband has gone to open a shop.)

When Zhou's mother sat down, Zhou Jiexi said, "I'll go and have a look, and then think about what I plan to do in the future. I didn't understand anything about the jobs my sister and the others introduced. Yes, so it’s not interesting to do it, this time I’ll try it myself.”

In fact, what Zhou Jiexi didn't say is that his sister's relationship is not very hard, so he will be squeezed out, and sometimes he is quite angry. The work unit has always kept the truth from the truth, only to sue for a trivial matter, and Zhou Jiexi can't afford to lose that person. So I don't want to do it anymore.

If the life in that life was more difficult, Zhou Jiexi would have endured it, but it's not that he has no food, and his family is also well-off. There is really no need to spoil yourself and lose your smile. But this is also what Zhou's mother has been used to since she was a child, and it has something to do with it.

"Well, you know that it's good to be motivated, so go and have a look, come and eat more, this is your favorite food." Mother Zhou said lovingly.

"Well, thank you mom, it's best if you're mom." Zhou Jiexi was acting cute again.

"Cough, cough". Father Zhou coughed with an unhappy expression.

"Hey, my dad is the best too. Come, dad, eat this." Zhou Jiexi hurriedly said to Zhou's father, and graciously picked something for Zhou's father.

Zhou's mother looked at it, also smirked, and secretly cursed "this old man".

Zhou Jiexi hurried out after eating.

"This child, look at that monkey, he learned from you." Zhou's mother said to Zhou's father.

"Let's follow you, I remember when you were young, you were also in such a hurry." Father Zhou also retorted unwillingly.

Seeing this, the second sister hurried back to her room, instead of following the two of them blindly.

Hearing the voice from behind getting weaker and weaker, Zhou Jiexi also went downstairs. After leaving the door, I touched my pocket, and found that there were more than six hundred yuan in it, which was regarded as capital. Zhou Jiexi stopped a taxi and said that he was going to Chaoyang Market, which is the largest market in the city, where there are wholesale and retail stores, as well as big hotels that buy fresh goods there.

After arriving there, Zhou Jiexi rented a temporary warehouse in a remote place around, and agreed with the landlord to pay 200 for two days. The landlord saw that the warehouse hadn’t been rented out anyway, and it was for nothing. He asked Jiexi Zhou what he was going to store, and Jiexi Zhou said it was for watermelons, so he rented it to Jiexi Zhou. But the money must be paid first, and then the landlord wrote Zhou Jiexi a receipt, and the matter was settled.

This warehouse is about 20 square meters, and there is a rolling door, but there is nothing inside. The inner market is about two hundred meters away, and the way in and out is not bad, very convenient.

Zhou Jiexi went in and turned on the light, pulled down the shutter door, and moved out the watermelon that had been picked in the space, and put it inside. After finishing it, Zhou Jiexi opened the rolling door, walked out, and quickly closed it again.

Zhou Jiexi went to the market management office to rent a booth, paid the money and gave a sign, Zhou Jiexi left. Then I went to buy a watermelon knife, bought some big bags, and called a tricycle outside. After negotiating a good price, I asked him to go to the warehouse with me to pull out some watermelons and transport them to the booth I rented. Tell him to leave a phone number, and if you need more later, you can find him.

At the stall, Zhou Jiexi remembered that he didn’t have a scale. He looked at the aunt who sold vegetables next door and there were two, so he asked her if she could rent one for him. The aunt took a look at him, maybe she felt that this young man was not bad, so she agreed.

After all the preparations are done, we will start selling watermelons. "Watermelon, big and sweet watermelon, watermelon, big and sweet watermelon, ten yuan a catty, ten yuan a catty, quick hands and slow hands..." Zhou Jiexi shouted loudly arrive.

The aunt next to him jumped when she heard him hawking. Why are melons so expensive? Seeing that no one came after shouting for a long time, Zhou Jiexi immediately felt lost. Did he pay too much? Should he lower the price? Zhou Jiexi began to doubt himself.

Suddenly Zhou Jiexi had a flash of inspiration: "Why am I so stupid? Others sell watermelons and even cut them open for others to try. My melon looks okay, but they don't know how delicious it is, and they can't even smell it. " Zhou Jiexi thought of a way, clapped his hands happily, and went to find a watermelon knife to prepare to cut melons.

Zhou Jiexi took out a watermelon and set it up, cut it in half with a knife, and then a burst of fragrance wafted out, slowly spreading out. Then Zhou Jiexi cut the watermelon into smaller pieces, which made the fragrance more intense.

As if time had stopped around, the people around stopped what they were doing, turned their heads to look at him, and kept sucking in their noses hard, as if they wanted to inhale the fragrance to burst their lungs before they were willing.

"Young man, what kind of melon are you? Why is it so fragrant? It's absolutely delicious." The aunt next to her said with bright eyes, but there was still a trace of crystal at the corner of her mouth, and she could be seen sipping it from time to time, swallowing While spitting, his tongue still moved at the corner of his lips, trying not to let his saliva stay.

The surroundings seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, the street vendors and passers-by all pricked up their ears, staring at Zhou Jiexi without making a sound, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to hear what Zhou Jiexi said.

So a strange event happened in this market. In this area where you could smell the fragrance of watermelon, it seemed unusually quiet. It didn’t matter in normal occasions, but compared with the hustle and bustle of the whole market, it seemed a little weird. Moreover, these people's eyes are wide-eyed, their noses are breathing continuously, and the muscles in their ears are stiff. If their skin is whiter, they would think it's a biohazard.

Zhou Jiexi also felt hairy for these people to see, and couldn't help swallowing, rubbed his hands together and said, "Fathers and folks, uncles, aunts, grandparents, brothers, sisters, grandpas, grandpas and aunts, this is cultivated in our latest technology greenhouse. A new variety of watermelon, which is modeled on the black-skinned watermelon in Japan. I know the black-skinned watermelon. It is a 16-jin watermelon that can be sold for 6,100, or US dollars. We are cultivating in that direction, and now we are taking it first. A batch came out to test the market, so the price is not high, and it might be in the future. Anyway, I don’t think it will be cheaper than this.”

Everyone was startled when they heard that a watermelon cost 6100, and it was even more shocking when they heard that it was still in US dollars. And this one is cultivated in that direction, no wonder it is so fragrant.
