Lin Hanzi not only picked all the melons in his own melon field and transported them to Shen's house, but he also called a few worried farmers who planted this kind of melon like him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Several other families did not have the same bottom as Lin Hanzi, after all, he had already received a deposit of twenty taels, even if the remaining melons could not be sold, the twenty taels of silver would be enough for their family to live until this time next year.

And they are different, they haven't received any silver yet, so they just followed Lin Hanzi here, in fact, they tried their luck.

But in the end, if they don't count in their hearts, they are afraid that the other party doesn't need so much at all, so the melons they picked will be wasted.

After all, the weather is so hot, even if the other party wants more, but this melon will not be released for a long time, and it will be transported in such a large amount, and this family will not be able to eat it.

Several families pondered carefully, but they began to worry.

"Lin Hanzi, did you say that young lady really wants to buy so many melons? Or is it such a defective melon? ”

"I said Old Man Fei, don't say that this is a defective melon, the young lady can say that this is a good melon, but it is different from the variety of melons we usually sell. It was precisely because of the different varieties that the young lady would think about buying it. Don't worry, don't worry about not being able to sell it, the young lady said in front of the villagers, how many such melons are harvested, you won't run in vain. ”

Lin Hanzi was like a few of them before, and he was also worried about something.

But because of Shen Danyao's words and the twenty taels of deposit she gave, Lin Hanzi was as calm as taking a reassuring pill.

However, several other families are not as calm as Lin Hanzi, although they have been comforted by Lin Hanzi, they are always a little uneasy in their hearts.

At this moment, Shen Danyao came out with the gatehouse.

As soon as Lin Hanzi saw Shen Danyao, he immediately rushed forward with a smile. "Miss Shen, I picked all the melons you wanted overnight, and asked the villagers to help, and now they have all been delivered."

Shen Danyao looked at the long line of board cars and smiled.

"I didn't expect Uncle Lin to be so fast, it's okay. Then let's talk about the price, in addition to the silver I gave before, how much silver do I have to give Uncle Lin for the rest? ”

Lin Hanzi scratched the back of his head and said: "The watermelon on the market is three cents a catty, and my melon can be counted as two cents a catty." Last night, when my family's melons were picked, they were all weighed, according to the catties and taels, in addition to the deposit given by the girl, the girl only needed to give another ten taels of silver. ”

"Uncle Lin, as I said, this kind of melon is just a different variety from ordinary watermelons, you don't have to sell it cheaply. As I said before, I will give you as much as the market price is. ”

Shen Danyao said and took out twenty-five taels of silver from her purse and put it in Lin Hanzi's hand. "Put it away, Uncle Lin."

"Hey, thank you, Miss Shen." Lin Hanzi held twenty-five taels of silver, and his eyes were a little red.

"Uncle Lin is polite, this is business, you don't have to be like this at all. I am a businessman, and I will not let myself suffer in business. ”

While Shen Danyao was talking, she asked the porter to call someone to bring in these melons.

Several other families saw it and hurried over. "Miss Shen, then, will you still accept our melons?"

"Yes, of course." Shen Danyao's response was crisp and pleasant.

The families immediately rejoiced and said, "Thank you, Miss Shen, thank you, Miss Shen, it's really good now, you don't have to worry about so many melons that can't be sold." ”

Seeing that they were so happy, Shen Danyao seemed to be in a mood, the corners of her lips naturally curled, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.

"Uncles, have you all weighed these melons like Uncle Lin? If the scale is over, then tell me directly and I will pay you. ”

"We came in a hurry, and as soon as we heard Lin Hanzi say that Miss Shen collects such varieties of melons here, we picked them directly from the melon field and followed Lin Hanzi. These melons have never been weighed, and the girl can weigh them. ”

One of them replied.

Shen Danyao said that she knew, and she smiled and ordered.

Soon, two people came out with large scales.

Several families quickly put the baskets containing melons on the large scales and weighed them according to the order of the carts.

The two people under Shen Danyao, one looked at the scales and the other counted.

After being busy for more than half an hour, I weighed all the melons and counted them well.

"Miss, this is a statistical list. Ah Huang's family is 670 catties, Uncle Fei's is 856 catties, Agui's is 1,320 catties, and Aqing's is 1,177 catties. ”

"Okay, got it." Shen Danyao nodded, and turned to look at these melon sellers.

"Uncles, do the math, are we accurate? If there is anything wrong with the taels, you can point it out now, and when the money is settled, I will not care if the number is right or wrong. ”

"That's right, that's right, we counted it when we weighed it just now, and the two of them calculated it very accurately, it's this catty."

Several families responded.

Shen Danyao saw that they all recognized this amount, so he settled the silver for them on the spot and distributed the silver to their respective hands.

These families were overjoyed with the money they had received.

They also agreed with Shen Danyao that when they went back today, they would pick all the remaining melons in the field, and they would send them to Shen Danyao tomorrow.

Shen Danyao answered them, and when they came over tomorrow, they could go directly to the account room to settle the money, and she would say hello in advance.

In this way, those families followed Lin Hanzi, and the group went home happily.

And Shen Danyao arranged the follow-up work.

First, the watermelons were all moved to the open space outside the kitchen.

Then, Shen Danyao gathered all the people in the kitchen and demonstrated by himself, cutting the watermelon, putting the black seeds in one place, the melon skin in one place, and the melon flesh in one place.

"You all do as I do, and just separate. Also, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, you can eat all the flesh cut out, and put the rest in the ice cellar. As for the melon skin, it still needs to be processed, and I will show you how to deal with the melon skin. ”

Shen Danyao said, scraped off the layer of green skin on the outside of the melon skin, and then cut the melon skin into thin slices, and put in an appropriate amount of white vinegar and sugar.

The skins are then placed in a pickled crockpot.

"This melon peel can be marinated like this, and you can open the crockpot and eat it in one day. At this time, it is best to eat this, it is crisp and delicious, suitable for snacks or meals, you can taste it when the time comes. ”

"In addition, the melon skin can also be used to boil water, don't put out the fire immediately after the melon water is boiled, boil the water until half is left, and then add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, it is very delicious to cool or drink it while it is hot, and it is also good for the throat, and the taste is still okay."

"Of course, the melon skin can also be fried with tomatoes and peppers, first fry the peppers and tomatoes, then pour in the melon skin slices and stir-fry, add an appropriate amount of sugar and salt, and put it on the plate after cooking, when the time comes, it tastes sweet and sour, and the taste is quite good."

Shen Danyao said this, and Xia Lan, who was following beside her, had already taken out a charcoal strip and wrote it down.

Not to mention, charcoal strips are sometimes much more convenient than brushes, and Xia Lan thinks that her master's brain is easy to use.

"But Miss, so many melons have been processed, and we are afraid that we won't be able to eat them all."

"Rest assured, whether it is the skin of the melon, the flesh of the melon will be used up. You just need to ask the kitchen staff to divide the melon skin, melon flesh and black seeds, and I will arrange the rest. ”
