In the end, Zhong Zhe picked ten watermelons that looked relatively intact and loaded them onto the trailer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When he went back, Zhong Lin said a little apprehensively, "Brother, is it really okay to sell these watermelons?" ”

"Don't worry, it's okay." Zhong Zhe explained, "These watermelons are not rotten, and most of the damage on them is actually caused by bumps during transportation." It's just that the outside is a little broken, and the inside is good. ”

"If a watermelon is damaged like this, you won't be able to sell it whole. In the end, it is also thrown away, so it can only be disposed of cheaply. ”

Zhong Lin was still a little suspicious, and after a while, he returned to the store. The two of them brought the watermelon back to the store.

Wang Fang was sitting there watching TV, busy going over to help, and when she saw that the watermelon was broken, she said, "Huh? This watermelon is broken, hurry back and change it. ”

Zhong Zhe said, "What you buy is broken skin." ”

"Huh?" Wang Fang was a little puzzled.

Zhong Zhe didn't care about explaining, and after moving all the watermelons down, he took Zhong Lin on another trip and pulled ten more watermelons back.

There was no place in the store, so I could only pile twenty watermelons under the shelves.

Wang Fang said a little worriedly, "These watermelons are broken, how can they be sold?" ”

Zhong Zhe wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "Don't worry, these watermelons only cost forty yuan, and you can't lose anything." After speaking, he greeted his brother, and the two of them washed the second-hand refrigerator they bought back inside and out.

Wang Fang heard him say this and put her mind at ease. She knew that her son was honest, and she was afraid that he would be inexperienced and deceived. Bought a bunch of broken watermelons at the normal price.

Now it seems that the son is honest, but he is not stupid, and he is not so easy to be deceived.

…………

After washing the refrigerator, Zhong Zhe moved a watermelon, put it on the cutting board, picked up the long watermelon knife, and split the watermelon in half with a snort like cutting butter.

Zhong Lin saw that the cut watermelon was not damaged at all, the skin was thin and the flesh was red, and there was enough moisture, but the part of the epidermal wound was a little rotten. When you cut that piece off, you can't see it at all.

Zhong Zhe's movements are very skillful, and with a few efforts, he cut the watermelon into twelve pieces, and the size is very uniform.

Cut two melons and filled the fridge.

He rubbed his hands together and said, "Let's go, I'm selling melons." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a table and let Zhong Lin push the refrigerator behind him.

When they got to the front of the market, they found a vacant seat and set up their stalls. Then negotiate the price with the owner who sells DVDs next to you and power the refrigerator.

In front of the refrigerator, set up a sign and write it on red paper: Frozen watermelon, one dollar a piece.

"Give me two."

A couple happened to pass by, and when they saw the watermelon on the table, such a big piece and red meat, they immediately paid for two pieces.

It would be two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun would be very hot. In the summer, it is easy to get heat stroke after standing for a long time. Zhong Zhe wiped his sweat and said, "You stay here for a while, and I'll go get that big umbrella." ”

"Okay."

At this time, someone came over to buy watermelons again, and Zhong Lin answered while collecting the money.

…………

Two minutes later, Zhong Zhe came back with a large sun umbrella, and before he could get closer, he saw Zhong Lin, who was sweating profusely, waving at him, "Brother, the watermelons are all sold out." ”

He was a little surprised, in just two minutes, more than 20 pieces of watermelon were sold out?

"I'll get it right away."

He quickened his pace, put the big umbrella on the ground, and ran to the store.

A gust of wind rushed into the store, startling his mother, "Why are you running so fast, be careful of falling glue?" ”

He didn't care to respond, so he quickly took out a watermelon and cut it, and quickly divided it into twelve pieces. Gather them in a circle, hold them in your hands, and run out.

He ran out with a watermelon, and saw several people in front of the stall from a distance, waiting to buy melons.

He rushed over and put the melon down.

"Give me two."

"Give me a piece."

"Give me three."

Those who were waiting to buy melons saw that the melons were delivered, and they all crowded up.

Zhong Zhe saw this battle, did not stop, ran to the store again, cut the melon and sent it over.

I ran again and again, and I didn't even have time to stand up with that big umbrella. After standing in the sun for more than half an hour, Zhong Lin's face was tanned, and his entire shirt was soaked and stuck to his body. He didn't feel it at all, his face was full of excitement.

He kept counting in his heart, a melon bought two pieces, and after cutting it, it could be sold for twelve yuan, and he made a net profit of ten yuan. In the past half hour, eleven melons have been sold, which is one hundred and ten yuan.

That's a hundred and ten dollars. You must know that during the Spring Festival, the New Year's money he received was only about 100 yuan. Now that it's been earned in half an hour, how can he not be excited?

When there were a little less people, the two brothers hurriedly tied up the big umbrella, and after opening it, they finally didn't have to face the big sun.

Zhong Zhe went to a small shop nearby to buy two bottles of frozen Coke, handed one to his brother, and said, "It looks like twenty watermelons are not enough to sell, and I have to go there to buy some goods." You watch here, I'll go restock. ”

"Hmm." Zhong Lin took a sip of Coke and nodded.

……

Before you know it, it's already night.

Today is not a weekend, the night market is not lively, and at nine o'clock, there are a lot fewer people.

"Call it a day."

Zhong Zhe waited for the last piece of watermelon to be sold, and then began to pack up his things.

"Okay." Zhong Lin answered and went over to help.

From the time they set up their stall in the afternoon to now, they have sold a total of more than 60 watermelons, making a net profit of 600 yuan.

Selling so many watermelons on the first day was also a bit unexpected by Zhong Zhe.

However, when you think about it, it's not surprising. This is the largest vegetable market in this industrial town, and there are dozens of large and small factories nearby, and there are many migrant workers.

There is a lot of traffic in the market every day, especially on weekends, when the factory is on holiday, it is even more crowded. Every Sunday was the busiest time in his parents' store, and he was often so busy that he didn't even have time for lunch.

When Zhong Zhe came out to shop yesterday, he found that no one was setting up a stall to sell cut watermelons, so he realized that this was a way to make money.

I don't remember if it was next year or the year after, he came home from summer vacation and found that in front of the market, there were many stalls selling cut watermelons. At that time, he wanted to get a new mobile phone, so he set up a stall by himself, wanting to make some money.

It is precisely because he has set up a stall that he knows that the income of these inconspicuous small transactions is not low. The premise is that you have to find out the doorway inside.

I remember when he first set up a stall, he bought the kind of intact melon, one cost seven or eight yuan, and he only earned three or four yuan after selling, excluding the stall fee, electricity fee, and some rotten ones that could not be sold, and only earned a few yuan a day.

Later, an acquaintance told him the trick. Then, he stopped setting up a stall and went to work for a summer job.

At that time, he was still a conscientious, disciplined, and socially responsible college student, and he disdained to do this kind of business.
