Wang Jicai drove his old ox cart five miles to a village called Wubaping.

As he walked, he looked for shade, and found a slightly more spacious place in the winding street, beside which was an old elm tree, and under the tree there was shade. So he pulled the oxen by the tree, stopped the cart under the shade of the tree, untied the reins of the ox, and went around the trunk of the tree several times, and tied a pimple, and tied the ox to a good place. Then he turned around and took off the broken straw hat on his head, and shook it vigorously in his hand to fan the cool breeze.

Then he looked around again, and then threw the broken straw hat onto the ox cart, and straightened his stomach with his hands on his hips, like a cricket standing upright on his feet, and shouted: "What a good melon in Chunyang! It's sweet, sandy, and watery, come and buy it...... It's not good, you don't need money, the quantity is limited, and it's gone if you're late!"

When he had finished drinking, he squatted under the tree, like a fisherman fishing in a lake, threw down the line and waited for the fish to take the bait, then squatted aside, took out his Shunfeng brand cigarette from the pocket of his undershirt, and smoked it with taste.

After a while, the men, women, and children in the village, one after another, walked over, standing beside the ox cart and surrounding the cart of watermelons and watching.

A middle-aged man asked, "How is your watermelon, is it sweet?"

Wang Jicai said, "Dude, don't be sweet and don't want money!"

In fact, this Wang Jicai has no bottom in his heart, and he has not cut it and bitten it, how can he know that this melon is sweet?

However, this is Wang Jicai's "business experience". Wang Jicai thought: "Regardless of whether the goods are good or bad, you must shout in a harder tone, be more confident, and create an aura to make people who buy goods believe in you." ”

Wang Jicai squatted there, smoking a cigarette while figuring out the psychological activities of the melon buyers. He wants to create a state of conviction in the consumer's decision-making psychology for a moment.

Because the person who buys the goods not only has to look at your goods, but also observe your expression and demeanor to see if they are telling a lie?

Therefore, some people shouted hard words, and their aura was round.

The worse the goods, the more they need to be confident and shout high.

This Wang Jicai once heard a man of culture say a quote from Lenin, who said: "The loudest seller in the market is often the one who wants to sell the worst goods." ”

Wang Jicai used this sentence upside down, he thought: "Since Lenin said this, this shows that as long as it is loud, the worst goods can be sold, not to mention that my goods are not bad, as long as they are loud and have enough confidence, this goods can sell well." ”

Sure enough, someone began to buy melons out of their pockets. Businessmen are very particular about the first transaction of the day, and they call it "opening". As soon as this business opened, people who bought goods came one after another, and the business became "hot".

Another man came over, followed by a girl, this girl was also holding a bare-ass boy, the doll was covered with mud, it is estimated that he had just played a mud fight with his friends, and grabbed one of his mother's hands with a small hand covered with mud.

This man's girl is chubby and round, and her two big round buttocks twist and twist and follow the man all the way down the street.

The eaves on both sides of the street are full of people squatting in the afternoon to cool off.

This girl has a funny personality, her demeanor is not very stable, and she is often funny, grimacing, cute, and sensational.

Especially when the man in her family led her and bought her something delicious or easy to wear, when he passed by a crowded place, he was even more demonic, squeezing his eyebrows, sticking out his tongue, and making faces.

At noon today, when Wang Jicai's shout of "selling watermelons" reached her house, she encouraged her man to take her to buy watermelons at the melon stall with a hippie smile.

So she took her bare-ass boy by the hand and followed her man into the street.

When she walked past the crowd and saw men squatting under the eaves on both sides of the street, she began to twist her waist and swing her ass behind her man's back, squeezing her eyebrows, sticking out her tongue, making faces, and selling cute .......

The men under the eaves erupted in bursts of laughter, and some whistled. Some simply picked up the pebbles on the side of the street and threw them at her.

The man was walking in front, knowing that it was his wife who was looking foreign in the back, so he didn't look back because he was used to it.

A farmer can have such a lively and cute wife, just like a few big red dates soaked in a big bowl of bitter medicine. Although these days are poor, there is also a bit of sweetness in my heart.

And this sweet smell overflowed red on the man's face through the capillaries on his face.

He walked in front, his wife followed closely behind, obviously this man was trying to please his wife, driven by his wife's coquettishness, commotion, and anger, although he was shy in his pocket, he still walked towards the watermelon stall.

The man asked, "How much is a pound of watermelon?"

Wang Jicai replied: "Three cents a pound." ”

The man asked again, "Is the melon good?"

Wang Jicai repeated tirelessly: "It's not good, don't want money!"

The man's wife stood beside her man, clutching the hem of the man's shirt tightly on a hot day, snuggling up to the man's side, looking up at her bearded, sweaty husband.

It's like a little girl burrowing into her father's armpit and poking her little head out to look at her majestic father.

I look forward to this majestic backer bringing her happiness and delicious watermelon.

The man said, "Which ...... Bring me one. ”

Wang Jicai asked, "Do you like to eat sand, or water?"

The man turned to look at his wife beside him.

The wife said, "I want sand." ”

The man said, "Then you want sand." ”

Wang Jicai glanced at a pile of watermelons, reached out and picked up a big melon weighing about ten catties, patted it, and then put it into the weighing pan, carried the wooden rod scale and lifted it, but it was actually less than ten catties, and deliberately raised the pole to the tip of his eyebrows, and shouted: "Ten catties and five taels are counted as ten catties." ”

When the man heard this, he felt that he had taken advantage, so he didn't look at the scales or the melon, so he quickly paid for it.

The man scratched and searched for a long time in the upper pocket of his coat with his rough fingers, took out a handful of change, counted two nine-cent coins in his hand, and then searched for a long time in the two lower pockets of his jacket, and found a coin to see that it was five cents, and then scratched in his trouser pocket for a long time and found a five-cent coin. finally scraped together enough three yuan and handed it to Wang Jicai.

Wang Jicai picked up the big watermelon from the weighing pan and handed it to the man. The man took the big watermelon with both hands, hugged it tightly in his arms, and turned away happily, and the amorous wife behind him, twisting her ass and sticking out her tongue, and the bare-bottomed little boy jumped and screamed, and the family went home happily.

When people saw this family walking away with a big watermelon, they also touched the nerve at the bottom of the tongue in an instant, resulting in a chain of "halazi" reactions.

Some children saw that the family had gone back to buy watermelons, and they also pulled their father's shirt or their mother's sleeve to the melon stall to eat watermelon. In this way, people came to buy melons one after another.

There was a little boy who saw other children eating a piece of red watermelon in his hand, so he went to the eaves of the street and grabbed his father's cuffs, and dragged it to the melon stall where the melon was sold, and asked his father to buy him a watermelon, shouting that he would eat the watermelon too.

His father didn't have the money to buy him watermelons, so he squatted there and couldn't get up. When the boy saw that his father was not going, he dragged it hard, and his father became angry, stood up and "snapped" and slapped the child twice.

Because the man exerted too much force, the child fell to the ground with a "plop" and a big belly, and cried out sharply with a "wow!" The boy couldn't eat the watermelon, but was slapped twice, and a few blood-red finger prints were suddenly printed on his face.

When the child's mother heard this, she "kicked and kicked" and ran over, and while helping the child up, she scolded her man and said: "What kind of stinky shit father are you? You have no ability to make money, you can't afford to buy watermelons for the child to eat, and you even beat the child! Look at the child to the point that his face is swollen, right? When you are old, let the child pull you out and feed the dog! Marrying a man like you who has no ability is really bad for eighteen lifetimes! Look at other people's dog Danzi (referring to the man who just sold his cute wife lively, named Goudanzi. hugged a melon and led his wife and children back to eat melons. What about you?...... What else can you do besides hitting children?"

The man was squatting under the eaves, puffing and puffing, with a red face, unable to utter a word.

The people under the eaves turned to look at the man, how would his wife react when he scolded him like this?

The man was scolded by his wife so much that his face couldn't hold it, and when he heard his wife scolding him that he was not as good as a dog, he suddenly said: "Dogdanzi is good, you marry Dogdanzi?"

The onlookers laughed.

At this time, it happened that the dog came out to see the excitement after eating the melon, and just walked here, I heard this man say such a sentence.

At this time, people looked at Goudanzi standing here, so they all turned their faces to Goudanzi, and saw how Goudanzi would react when he heard this?

The dog saw that people were looking at him, so he crossed his hands to his chest and smiled, and said loudly to the wife, "Meat woman!" The wife who quarreled was called the meat woman. "Didn't your man ask you to marry me? Let's go, come with me! I don't have too many wives, the better!

"Let's go, I'll buy you watermelon to eat...... Doesn't the emperor have three or four thousand wives, and I will have half of her, try it!"

People laughed and fell into a big picture.

Someone laughed and scolded the dog, "Fuck the dog!" Let your wife listen, it's strange if you don't cook and eat donkey meat!"

Some scolded with a smile: "When you go back tonight, your wife will cut off your bastard like a pig gelding and feed it to the dog!"

At this time, a man named Ugly Boy corrected with a smile: "You are wrong, the wife of the dog is not so stupid! If the dog is castrated, what will she use? You can't run to the ground and pull out a carrot for it, right?"

The onlookers laughed more and more .......

Before the laughter fell, the dog's wife came out of the house to look for the dog.

At this moment, someone asked the man who was joking with dogs just now, "Ugly boy, what did you just say? Who is going to use ...... 'go to the field and pull turnips'? We didn't hear you clearly, can you say it again?"

At this time, people looked at the dog's wife and laughed, and the ugly boy was forced to keep silent with a big red face.

After a while, the grandmother of the child who had been beaten came out, pulled the little grandson and said, "Let's go, grandma will buy you watermelons!" So the old lady walked up to the watermelon stall and asked, "Can you change your career with eggs for watermelon sellers?"

Wang Jicai shook his head and said, "I can't bring it back, it'll be broken when I go back." ”

The old lady had no choice but to lead her little grandson away in disappointment.

Some children, watching other children's children eat watermelon, stand aside with envy and drool.

Some children run to the watermelon rinds thrown away by others and eat the watermelon rinds thrown away by other people's homes.

The adults had no money and looked at the children pitifully, so some parents came to the melon stall and asked Wang Jicai: "Is it okay to exchange corn for business?"

Wang Jicai said: "Originally, I didn't harvest corn, but seeing that you are in difficulty, then I will make do with it." ”

The man asked, "How many pounds of corn for a pound of watermelon?"

Wang Jicai replied: "Five catties for one catty." ”

At this time, a pound of corn on the black market sells for a dime. After the corn is discounted, it is equivalent to five cents per catty of watermelon, and Wang Jicai earns two cents more per catty of watermelon.

As soon as people heard that corn could also be exchanged, many people carried corn bags to exchange for watermelons.

But the people in the village didn't have enough food to eat, so it was a pity to exchange so much corn for watermelons. So some parents scolded their children: "I don't have the corn to eat seriously, how can I take so much corn for this?"

But after all, the village is big, don't buy this, buy that, don't change this and that, in short, in order to meet the requirements of children, adults always have to do it!

In this way, some people in the village paid cash and some exchanged corn for corn, and Wang Jicai quickly sold all the watermelons in this ox cart.

Wang Jicai sold a cart of watermelons and brought back a cart of corn.

The next day, Wang Jicai pulled the cart of corn to the black market and sold it, and he thought that he could sell the cart of watermelons for 160 yuan and sold them for a good price, but he ended up selling them for 260 yuan even with the corn in cash. That's enough to buy a female donkey.
