Chapter 8 Business Opportunities Emerge

"Little brother, how do you sell this melon?"

The guy put down the melon skin, looked up, and found that there was a boy in a brocade robe standing in front of him, followed by a big man who was obviously a follower, and immediately stood up.

The smile was a little flattering, "Childe has a good eye!" My watermelon is big and thin-skinned, sweet and juicy, and delicious! ”

"Well, how much is a pound?"

"My melon is not only delicious, but also very cold!"

"I said, how much is this melon a pound?!!"

Jing Zhe really wanted to ask, are you from Dunhuang, why are there so many murals?

"Uh... Five pennies a pound! ”

"Okay, then pick one for me!"

“……”

This guy is a little confused, because in the past few days he has met too many people who don't buy because they are too expensive or cut them all after asking the price, and he is a little unaccustomed to it as smooth as today.

"Childe is a cheerful person! I'll go to the house and get you melons!" ”

"Wait!"

Before the guy could turn around, he was stopped by a shout, and when he glanced at it, he saw that it was the somewhat strong attendant who spoke.

"Other people's melons only sell for two pennies a catty, why are your families so expensive?"

Watermelons are also grown on the mountain, and if they can't eat them, Lu Li will ask Han Han to take them down the mountain to sell, so Han Han still knows the price of watermelons very well.

"Two pennies?"

The guy sneered and said disdainfully: "You're talking about the Year of the Monkey!" Three days ago, this melon rose to five wen! I'm not afraid to tell you, from now on, I am the only one in the city who sells melons, and if you don't buy them at my house, you won't be able to eat melons in the city! ”

Jing Zhe thought about it, along the way, there were many people selling other fruits, but they seemed to be the only ones who sold watermelons.

So he smiled and said, "Little brother Mo wants to be like a little guy." It's just that we have just come from out of town and are not familiar with the city, so he asked that. ”

When the man heard that they were outsiders, the little respect on his face vanished.

"Let me tell you, our young owner is Lin Wenyao, the eldest son of the new prefect of Yongzhou! Governor Lin rushed here from Jingzhou three days ago to take office, and all the watermelons in this city were collected by our young owner! In the future, I can only buy melons from my family! ”

Jing Zhe nodded, the dog official that Lu Li and they wanted to rob three days ago should be the new Governor Lin.

Judging by his son's way of doing things, there is no problem in calling him a dog officer.

"Then please help us pick one!"

The day was already hot, and after standing under the sun for a long time, Jing Zhe felt smoke in his throat, even if it was more expensive, he didn't want to wait any longer.

The man took one look at them and went into the house to get the melon.

"Young village master, this melon shouldn't be bought! That dog officer's son is really not a good thing! ”

"Shh

Jing Zhe looked around and motioned for Han Han to shut up.

This city is the territory of the prefect, and if someone hears about it, let alone making money, everyone has to go in.

"The melon is coming!"

After a while, the guy came out with a big melon.

"Childe, is this melon taken away or opened?"

"Open it and eat it!"

"Good come!"

The man got the order, and the knife fell on the table, and the watermelon was cut into several slices, and the skin was indeed thin and red, and what was even more surprising was that when the melon was just cut, there was a cool air with a white mist.

Seeing Jing Zhe's doubts, the guy was even more interested, "My watermelons are expensive, not only because we are the only ones in the city who sell melons, but also because our young owner has an ice cellar, and the watermelons are put in it for a day to take out, which is very cold!" ”

Staring at the white gas coming out of the watermelon, Jing Zhe seemed to have thought of something, grinned, and reached out to take the melon.

Before he touched the melon, he was blocked by the guy's hand.

"Childe, if you want to eat melons, settle the money first."

"Hanhan, check out."

Jing Zhe didn't care, "How much?" ”

"This melon is ten catties, a total of 100 Wen!"

“……”

At this time, Jing Zhe retracted his hand.

"Little brother, did you miscalculate?"

One pound is five wen, ten catties is not only fifty wen?

How did it suddenly double?

"That's right, one pound is ten wen, ten catties is not a hundred?"

"You just said a pound and five cents!"

Han Han, who was standing behind Jing Zhe, was furious, glared at the guy and said fiercely.

Five Wen is too expensive, let alone ten Wen?

The guy was not afraid of him, and sneered: "Wuwen is the price just now, and now it is Shiwen!" ”

"Then I'm not going to eat the head office, right?"

Jing Zhe did not accept this means of sitting on the ground and raising prices.

"Hehe, no!"

As if they had grasped their identities as outsiders, the guy beckoned to the house, and four or five sturdy men came out in an instant, surrounding Jing Zhe and Hanhan.

"This melon has been cut for you, whether you eat it or not, I don't care. But this money must be kept! ”

The guy clasped his hands to his chest and said coldly.

"You-"

Han Han has been a thief for a few years, when did he suffer such grievances?

Step forward and you're ready to go.

"Hanhan!"

Jing Zhe hurriedly grabbed him and whispered, "Don't make trouble!" It's in town! ”

Han Han finally held back, his eyes were like knives, staring at the guy.

When the guy saw this, he became even more arrogant.

"You know each other! If you dare not pay, you will be beaten today! Don't stare at me, it's useless to beat you! Our young owner is the prefect's son, even if you go to sue the official, it's useless! ”

Jing Zhe didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he asked Hanhan to pay a hundred yuan, and the two of them took the melon and walked out under the ridicule of the guys and men.

……

"This dog thing dares to blackmail our money!"

"If the young master doesn't pull me, he will blow his dog's head!"

"Tell the owner of the village to come to the city and rob this dog official!"

Along the way, Han Han gritted his teeth and scolded.

"Eat melons, eat melons!"

Jing Zhe didn't answer either, and ate melons in a big gulp.

He tasted it, the melon was indeed very cold, and it was indeed refreshing to eat on such a hot day, but it could not achieve the chilling effect that Jing Zhe was familiar with.

"Childe, are you still in the mood to eat?"

Looking at Jing Zhe's heartless appearance and eating melons, Han Han was a little speechless?

Is this really the younger brother of the owner of the village?

It's not like that, right?

If someone dares to slander the owner of the village like this, and the owner of the village will blow up their dog's head without saying a word, what about in the city? The owner of the village wants to leave, who can stop her?

"You don't eat? Shall I eat it for you? ”

Jing Zhe stared at the two melons in Han Han's hand, his eyes glowing.

"I-"

After a moment of silence, Han Han raised the watermelon in his hand and devoured it.

When he finished eating, Jing Zhe asked him, "Do you want to teach them a lesson?" ”

Han Han nodded frantically.

"I've figured it out."

"What's the solution?"

Hanhan's face was full of anticipation.

"Well, are there any firecrackers sold in the city?"

“……”
