Chapter 25: The Warming Up of Watermelon Sales
"Little Laozi, do you still have any watermelons?" As soon as he entered the village, Lin Shan smiled bitterly, and now the people in the village are used to asking about watermelons when they see him; Especially a half-grown child like Lin Li, they like to constantly harass Lin Shan.
"No, you don't know about the few watermelon seedlings in the vegetable garden, and now a few watermelons haven't matured yet, you can wait a few more days." Lin Shan shook his head, in fact, it was two days, but in Longquan Village, everyone in the village now knows that Lin Shan has planted some very good watermelons, which taste great, although it is a little more expensive, but it tastes much better than ordinary watermelons, so it is still very popular.
Lin Li is the most enthusiastic, that is, she often likes to go to Lin Shan, and she picked three in two days, that is, her spread, and the watermelons in Lin Shan's vegetable garden were also swept away; Lin Li is Lin Shuyang's daughter, that is, Lin Shan's niece, Lin Li, who has just entered her second year of high school, still likes to eat snacks, so she is also a little fat. As for the title of 'little Lao Tzu', it is generally the title of the youngest cousin, that is, his father is Lao Tzu, and the little uncle is also 'Little Lao Tzu'.
"There are no watermelons now, I still have a few melons at home, if you eat them, I will give you the key, and you can go and get them yourself." Lin Shan took out the key, although his watermelon is not ripe now, but there are still melons, and the melons do not need to be ripe completely, and they can be eaten if they are a little raw.
"Forget it, I'll go to your house to get it when you come back." Lin Li is also very happy, the melon is actually very easy to buy, but the melon grown in Lin Shan tastes much better than the ordinary melon, it doesn't matter if there is no watermelon, the melon is also very delicious.
"You go and get it, it's in the cupboard. I'm going to go to the city, and it's not clear if I'll be back at night; Take the melon yourself, and then the key will be put at your second mother's house. Lin Shan didn't care, he had no money at home, and he didn't have any valuable furniture; And they are all from the village, and he also knows the character of Lin Li, a little girl, and there is nothing to worry about at all.
With a happy little white, Lin Shan is going to the city, and he is now preparing for the full listing of his watermelons; In fact, the watermelons in the vegetable garden are ripe, which means that the watermelons in the space are also beginning to ripen, and Lin Shan can now start selling watermelons on a large scale. Although his own watermelons are very popular in the village, the market here is too small, and even in the township, Lin Shan does not think that all his watermelons can be absorbed.
Your own watermelon must be relatively expensive, and in the countryside, it is generally okay to occasionally come to one or two more expensive watermelons, but it is definitely unrealistic to say that you have been eating watermelons for twenty-three yuan a piece; It cannot be ruled out that there are still many people in the countryside whose family conditions are good, but it is impossible to say that all people can eat 'luxury watermelon'.
Under normal circumstances, the yield per mu of watermelon is about 4,000 to 10,000 catties, although Lin Shan has not made a specific calculation of his watermelon now, but the amount of watermelon in more than three acres must be about 30,000 catties, and this is definitely difficult to digest in the township, Lin Shan is naturally preparing to go to the city to open the market; Although Xuan'an is only a third-tier city, it is a city after all, and the market potential is also very good.
Some sneaky, when he was about to leave the village, Lin Shan cautiously looked around before finding a relatively hidden place and directly dodged into the space; As long as you are within the scope of Longquan Village, you can enter the space, and Lin Shan is now relatively convenient. As for Xiaobai, it was not strange to lie on the ground at this time and wait for Lin Shan to come out, it didn't like space, although it might be more comfortable there, but the world outside was more interesting.
"Holy! I was almost bitten by this king! "There are two half-pound soft-shelled turtles in the small basket, it can be seen that they are full of vitality, they are not honestly shrunken turtles, now they raise their heads, grinning teeth look very sure that once someone dares to catch them, they will bite down hard.
Carrying a basket, a large plastic bag also contains two space watermelons; This is a small gift that Lin Shan is going to bring to the city, and it can be regarded as a small show.
"Xiaobai, my sister still has to go to work now, and I'll take you to play when I get back from work." Yike, who was dressed in OL costume, walked out of the TV station quickly, looking at Lin Shan in front of the security booth, she naturally ignored it, squatted down and scratched Xiaobai who pounced on her affectionately with a smile, she was still busy.
"You can take this watermelon to eat, and this turtle, I raised it myself, it definitely tastes better and is nutritious than the wild." Lin Shan lifted the basket and plastic bag at his feet and handed them to Ike.
"You still have turtles? If you have time to help me kill it, this turtle looks so fierce, I definitely won't kill it. Ike carefully carried the basket, and quickly put it down, this soft-shelled turtle is very energetic, and has been staring at Ike, it seems that they have made up their minds, once Ike dares to reach out, then they will bite down hard.
In fact, Lin Shan also knows the Tao, this turtle bites people is still very powerful, in fact, he himself will not kill the soft-shelled turtle, and if you look at the current situation of Ike, it is estimated that he will definitely not kill the soft-shelled turtle. And it's better to be careful, look at Ike's white and tender hands, once the soft-shelled turtle takes a bite, it is estimated that it will definitely be a piece of meat. "Forget it, I won't kill it. It's okay to let you go, my turtles are free-range, so they are very fierce, if you eat them, take them to the vegetable market and ask someone to kill them. ”
"That's okay, the key will be given to you first, you send the turtle over, and I'll go back to stew it in the evening." Keep one of the watermelons, my mother was still calling two days ago and said that your watermelons are very godly, and I will take one to the office to show off as a favor. Ike squatted down and picked up a watermelon, smiled and waved his hand at Lin Shan and entered the TV station.
Lin Shan smiled bitterly, he was just here to send something to Ike, but now it seems that Echo really has no defense against him, and even gave him the key. With Xiaobai, Lin Shan is now going to deliver soft-shelled turtles and watermelons. Of course, the most important thing is to investigate first, his watermelon is about to go on the market, and he has to take a good look at the place where the melon is sold.
Xuan'an City doesn't have the city management as seen in the news, beating people and setting up stalls at every turn, but this is also related to the division of several temporary watermelon sales points in the city; Lin Shan looked at it, it was unrealistic for him to rent a shop or anything now, so it was better to come here honestly to sell watermelons.
"Icole, where did you buy this watermelon?" Although Ike has not been in the TV station for a long time, she is young and beautiful, coupled with her modesty and politeness, she still gets along very happily with her colleagues in the office.
"Uncle Li, wait a few more days, I just tasted this watermelon, and it hasn't been on the market yet." Ike is also very proud, although watermelons are common, but Lin Shan's watermelon is still very delicious, from the time it was brought to the office and cut, it made the office filled with a faint fragrance, plus it tasted unusually sweet and delicious, and now a watermelon weighing more than ten catties was also swept away by seven or eight people in the office.
"Obediently, we still underestimate you, you can get this watermelon that is not on the market! In this way, you go and get two more back, I won't make it difficult for you to do, I'll buy it, get it back to my mother-in-law to taste, she will spend money all day long, I will make some good things to go back to honor her, and then let her son follow some light. A fashionably dressed young woman approached with a grin.
"Sister Chen, you just bully my newcomer! I won't buy you watermelon, let you quarrel with your mother-in-law every day, and then I'll follow the delicious food and drink spicy food. "Ikeha smiled and smiled, Sister Chen is a flower in front of the office; It can be said that she married the right person, and her mother-in-law's family almost offered her up, and her mother-in-law on this hot day sent mung bean soup and the like almost every day, saying that she was afraid that it would be too hot for her little grandson who had not yet been born.
"Sister Chen, this watermelon is really not on the market now, I may be able to get some back, but the price may be a little expensive." After joking, Yi Ke also said seriously, she also heard her mother call in the past two days to say that Linshan's watermelon is indeed delicious, and it can be regarded as living up to her own mother, so she almost exaggerated Linshan's watermelon into a fairy fruit.
"A little more expensive is a little more expensive, this watermelon tastes good, and it deserves to be a little more expensive. Ike, you want to find a way to get me two back, I'll bring them back for my son to try, now the student has a heavy task, and he has to tutor on this hot day, go back and let him taste something new. "Although watermelon is expensive, there is naturally no shortage of market for good taste, especially these people in the office are still in good condition.
"Okay, let's talk about it first, the market price is more than two yuan a catty, if you want it, give me a number, and I'll go back at night to help you get in touch." Yi Ke thought about it, and with the fact that he had gained a little confidence, it was estimated that he should not let Lin Shan suffer.
"Now at this price, watermelons are more than two dollars a catty!" Although the colleagues in the office are complaining about the high price of watermelon, they are still generous in order to eat the best watermelon. "By the way, Echo, what kind of watermelon is this? When the watermelon is on the market, we will buy it ourselves, and it is not good to trouble you all the time. ”
Ike secretly smacked his tongue, the colleagues in the office were all booking one by two, even if this watermelon was about ten catties, Lin Shan would have an income of almost two hundred yuan in the blink of an eye; It seems that the high-end market is still very marketable, as long as the quality is good, then there is no shortage of market.
"I really don't know what kind of mountain sweet potato is planted by people in our village, it seems to be a mountain sweet potato, it has just been planted this year, and you are the lucky ones who are the first to taste this watermelon!" Yi Ke didn't know what he would be proud of, maybe it was because his hometown was also able to produce such top-notch fruits!
