After breakfast, Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao put the chessboard on the table. The phone in the house rang, and he had no choice but to walk into the house quickly to answer the phone.

The call was from Zhao Guangming, saying that there was a guest at home at noon and asked him to send seven large watermelons over. This guy really let himself give him melons, and the day before yesterday I thought it was just talking.

"So much? Seven watermelons have about 100 catties, enough for your family to eat for a week" Liu Junhao is not worried that his watermelons will be spoiled, but it is better to eat fresh watermelons in summer.

"I'll keep a few at my own house, and I'll let the guests take the rest," Zhao Guangming explained on the other end of the phone.

Because he was in a hurry, Liu Junhao did not delay, and went to the backyard with Professor Zhao to pick seven large watermelons.

Who knew that there was a problem when he put it in the bamboo basket, his watermelon was too big, and he only put three to fill the embroidery basket.

Liu Junhao had to go to Er Mazi's house and borrow another bamboo basket, so that the bicycle could be carried on one side and just keep the balance. However, even if he used two embroidery baskets, he could put a maximum of six watermelons, and he could only put the remaining one in the basket in front of him. Afraid of crushing the crate, he deliberately tied it with a rope.

Even people with watermelons have a weight of two or three hundred catties, fortunately their car is an old-fashioned big bicycle, the quality is excellent, otherwise the tire will definitely be directly pressed.

Jumping into the car, Liu Junhao rushed all the way to the market. Although it was only nine o'clock, he still felt hot.

At this time, I usually sit under the poplar tree and drink watermelon juice. Zhao Guangming, this kid is really not interesting, next time he won't give watermelon anything, if he wants to eat it, he will buy it himself.

Liu Junhao complained in his heart. The faster you pedal, the faster you pedal. It took less than half an hour to get to the street.

Just entered the street. Suddenly, an old lady rushed out of a nearby shop.

He was startled. Hurriedly pinched the brakes and stopped the handlebars. Fortunately, I have excellent skills. If you bump into this old lady just now, it will be a big problem.

"Young man. Are you selling your watermelon on the street? "He just got out of the car. The old lady had already arrived.

"That's right," Liu Junhao didn't know what she was doing when she stopped her car.

"That's just right. You don't have to go out into the street. We've got all the watermelons. The old lady had just finished speaking. In the shade of the trees, several women also came forward.

"Don't ...... I sold this watermelon to someone else, and I had already discussed it. Liu Junhao reacted and hurriedly stopped.

"You lad is really the land, and you don't sell it to anyone. We also give you money, how much is a pound? A woman said and took out a large watermelon from the bamboo basket and praised it with a sigh: "It's so big, one is enough for the whole family." ”

"It's a big flower skin, of course it's big. This watermelon is delicious, but the skin is also thick, which is very portional. The old lady was there again.

"No, Auntie, my watermelon is really for someone else, and people are still waiting at home." Liu Junhao saw more people surrounding him, and hurriedly tied up the car and shouted.

"Why are you so brainless, I'll go home and pick a few later. Buying your watermelon is still chirping, and it's not cool at all. Weigh these two for me and see how many pounds there are."

"I didn't bring a scale" He was in a hurry when he came, he didn't bring a scale at all, he just wanted to go to the street and let Zhao Guangming weigh it himself.

"You're such a strange person, how can anyone sell things without a scale. His second aunt, go and take out my scale. The old lady turned back to a woman who was picking melons.

Sweat, it's because I didn't plan to sell it in the first place. Before he could argue, the seven watermelons had already been divided.

Some people also came over to buy watermelons when they saw that they were selling here, but the old lady covered the watermelons with her hands like an old hen guarding her and shouted: "No, no, we have all this watermelon." ”

"How much is a pound?" At this time, a few people remembered to ask about the price of watermelon fields.

"A dollar and a pound"

"How much," they all stopped.

"Young man, you are too unauthentic, the most expensive seedless melon sold on the street is only six cents a pound. Although this watermelon is big, it is not worth a dollar. You think you're a watermelon from Liujiagou. ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Junhao was dizzy by the old lady's crackling count.

"I heard that only a young man in Liujiagou can sell watermelons for a dollar. But people's watermelons are planted on trees and watered with Tai Sui water, which is valuable. Although your big flower skin is not bad, it will give you a price of six cents at most. ”

"Hehe, I'm the guy you said" Liu Junhao was a little proud, he didn't expect that he would become a master of melon planting without paying attention. Watering with Tai Sui water? Where does this start, it is estimated that the people in the town spread the rumors. However, he didn't think about distinguishing, it was better to maintain a sense of mystery.

"You're ......!? It's impossible, why don't I see any difference between this watermelon? The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then stared at the watermelon in the bamboo basket

Lo and behold.

"The appearance of this big flower skin is no different from the ordinary one, but the melon pulp is a little sweeter," Liu Junhao saw that they didn't buy it, and immediately relieved his heart.

"Really, fakely, I'll buy one and try it." The old lady was half-convinced, but still made up her mind to buy one. But in the end, she also deliberately explained: "Young man, you can't lie to me." ”

"Don't worry, I can't fool you. I'll leave after you cut the watermelon and taste it, it's not delicious, how about giving this watermelon to you for free? "It's about his reputation, and Liu Junhao doesn't want to leave.

"That's good, it's just this watermelon." The old lady brought over a watermelon that had been originally chosen.

Liu Junhao threw his car towards the door of the shop and followed them into the house. After the watermelon is cut, the sweet potato pulp is very eye-catching.

"How about trying them all? If it's delicious, help me spread the word about it in the future. Liu Junhao greeted loudly, he had already made up his mind to wait for this watermelon to be free of money, and it was better to leave a reputation.

"That's good, this watermelon is worth a dollar"

After several women tasted it, they were amazed.

"The young man is honest and not deceiving. I'll buy another one for this big flower skin later, it's not easy to come across a good watermelon. The old lady spoke.

Several other women picked up their own watermelons, but in fact, these watermelons were much the same, and there was nothing to pick and choose.

He didn't ask for money for the watermelon just now, and the remaining six were sold for one hundred and six yuan. Counting the banknotes, he remembered the matter of sending watermelons to Zhao Guangming's family. Maybe people are waiting in a hurry now. Thinking of this, Liu Junhao hurriedly rode home to pick melons.

"Sent over so soon?" Professor Zhao was teasing the turtledove in the courtyard, and when he saw him coming back from a sweaty bicycle, he asked in some surprise.

"Don't say it, the watermelon was bought as soon as it arrived at the street, and I'm going to pick it again now." He sat on a chair and drank a glass of watermelon juice, then went to the backyard to pick watermelons.

"Of course, this means that the watermelon is good," Professor Zhao hurriedly came over to help.

After picking seven large watermelons, Liu Junhao rode to the street again.

As soon as she arrived at the street, the old lady greeted her from afar: "Young man, I've sent watermelons again."

"Hmm" Liu Junhao didn't dare to stop this time, afraid that she would stop him to buy watermelons again.

Who knew that he hurried to Zhao Guangming's house, but found that the door was locked.

This guy, as he said on the phone, sat at home and waited for him to deliver melons. It's good now, I braved the scorching sun to come here but I couldn't see my master.

Liu Junhao waited in the sun for more than ten minutes, his head swollen. He saw that it was not a way to wait like this, so he wanted to put the watermelon there with Lao Guo first, and his own people could go back first.

Lao Guo's stall is around the corner, not too far.

When he passed, Lao Guo was sitting in a chair and smoking. In the summer, people rush to the market in the hot weather, and there is not much business at this time.

"Xiao Hao, why did you go to the street to buy beef? This is what I just slaughtered yesterday, absolutely fresh," Lao Guo saw him coming over and hurriedly handed over a cigarette.

"How can I eat beef every day, I'm sending watermelon to Zhao Guangming. When I came, I realized that the door of his house was locked tightly, and the family didn't know where to go. Liu Junhao wiped his sweat and sat down in the shed.

"This is the big flower bark you planted on your tree? Big is big. Lao Guo couldn't help but admire when he saw it.

"Well, do you want it, if you want, I'll send you a few next time, as beef money."

"Don't, anyway, there is no one in his kid's house, you can sell this watermelon to me directly." Lao Guo said that he was about to step forward and hug the watermelon.

"No, Lao Guo, Lao Guo" Liu Junhao stopped him with a sad face, "I can't say anything today, you can't let me run on the street for the third time on a hot day." ”

Then he told what he had just done again, which made Lao Guo laugh, "Then I don't want it, I originally wanted to taste what is good about your watermelon." You must get me a few next time you come over, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I want to eat something fresh. ”

"Of course there is no problem with this," Liu Junhao nodded, and then said his intention again.

"It's okay, you go, wait until I see Zhao Guangming's kid asking him to get the watermelon."

"Don't panic, bring me a bowl of offal soup first. Tossed back and forth a few times, and the little food in my stomach had already been digested. He rested for a while, the heat in his heart disappeared a little, and he suddenly felt empty in his stomach.

"That's a good dare, old woman, cut more cooked beef" Lao Guo turned his head and greeted. Cooked beef costs fifteen yuan a catty, and the beef offal soup is only a five-day bowl, so naturally there will not be much beef in the soup, most of it is cow heart and lungs and other things. Lao Guo's soup is very solid, so there are many people who come to Wagyu offal soup.

After a while, Lao Guo's daughter-in-law put a large bowl of beef soup on the table, looking at the small half bowl of cooked beef, Liu Junhao knew that he did not regard himself as an outsider. (To be continued)
