013 sells watermelons

Liu Shi got out of the car with Ruan An'an in his arms and led her forward, and there was a queue in front of her.

Ruan Dashan also led the ox cart and followed behind.

Because of the war, everyone had to pay two cents when they came in, although the place where the war was fought was in the west, and they were in the south.

"Hello uncle!" Ruan An An smiled sweetly at the soldiers on the side.

Liu quickly counted out six coins and handed them to him.

The soldier took out two cents and returned it to Liu, "The child is so young, there is no need to pay the money." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

When the child saw you in a unique soft voice, Shi Wei even wanted to return the four cents in his hand, but he looked at the person behind him, and he stabilized.

The Liu family and they left, and Ruan Anan turned back to him and said to him, "Goodbye, uncle!" ”

Shi Wei now regrets why he didn't return the money to her.

The county is not like the town, where you can set up a stall if you find a vacant seat, but there is a special market for people to buy and sell, but you have to pay a penny to sell things in it, which is also to filter out those who have no intention of doing business, if you want to sell, you can quickly earn back a penny.

The bazaar was very wide, Ruan Dashan walked in directly with the ox, and after paying a penny, he went to find a place.

Because the watermelons were very heavy, Ruan Dashan couldn't move them alone, so he found an open place, parked the ox cart directly, and then only put out three watermelons.

"Your winter melon is quite big." Said a passerby.

"Uncle, this is not a winter melon, this is a watermelon." Nguyen An An replied.

Passers-by took a closer look, and it was indeed different from winter melon, and there were some patterns on it.

The passer-by who didn't want to buy it saw that Ruan Anan was really cute, so he asked the price, "Then how do you sell this watermelon?" ”

"Our watermelon costs ten pennies a pound." Nguyen An An replied.

Liu didn't expect her granddaughter to directly increase the price of three yuan, but she didn't squeak, just thinking that if she bargained, the lowest price could be reduced to seven yuan.

When passers-by heard this, they also felt that the price was a bit expensive, "Little doll, this meat is only 12 yuan a catty, and I can buy a lot of meat for your watermelon." ”

"Uncle, our watermelon is from outside, we don't have it here, you can buy meat every day, but watermelon is not something you can often buy, and in order to grow this watermelon, our family has worked hard, it is also very delicious, sweeter than sugar."

Ruan Anan looked at the visitor with a serious face, coupled with her fairy tales, which couldn't help but make people think of the hardships behind it.

Why doesn't this place, of course, is because the climate here is not suitable for it to grow, and in order to make the watermelon grow, the family must have put a lot of thought into it, so ten cents may really not be expensive.

If Ruan Anan knew that the human brain in front of him had replenished so much, he could only say that he had endless water in his hands and could grow anything.

But passers-by came back to their senses and saw that all the watermelons in front of him were as big as this child, and there were only three people in his family, how could they finish eating.

Ruan Anan looked at him and was obviously shaken, but he didn't buy it, thinking that he thought the watermelon was not delicious, so he asked Ruan Dashan to take out the cotton cloth and knife she specially wanted to bring.

Using cotton cloth to pad the ox cart, Ruan Dashan took out another watermelon from the basket.

The watermelon was cut into two pieces, and the unique sweet smell of watermelon spread out and got into the noses of people passing by, and a few more people gathered around.

"Auntie, what are you selling, why does it smell so good."

Suddenly, so many people came around, and Liu was a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't say the words in his mouth.

"Uncles and aunts, this is our home-grown watermelon, which is very delicious, and no one else has it." Ruan An An said loudly.

Only then did everyone see a child standing next to Liu's family, white and tender, not at all like a peasant family.

"Auntie, your child is really good-looking." The aunt on the side praised Ruan An'an cutely when she saw it.

At this time, the Liu family also came back to his senses, after all, he had lived so much and stabilized his senses, and when he heard someone praising Ruan An'an, he immediately laughed, "Yes, I don't know how her mother gave birth to such a good-looking little granddaughter for me." ”

"You say this watermelon is delicious, it's delicious, if you want me to say that this taste is what if you made it, and when we buy it back and find that it is not delicious, you are all gone, so who do we talk to?" A discordant voice emerged from the crowd.

Ruan Anan also expected this situation, so it was not surprising that if he wanted others to accept a new thing, it was not to praise how good this thing was, but to let others feel that this thing was really good.

Since it is selling something that others have never eaten, of course, it is to let others taste it, and only when they feel that it is delicious and want it will generate purchasing power.

"My uncle will cut the watermelon and let you taste it, if you think it's delicious, you can buy it, if you don't think it's delicious, that's okay."

When Ruan Dashan heard this, although he felt that this was a bit wasteful, his niece said so, and he still cut it, but he cut it not big, but small strips, considering that there were no bamboo skewers around, each watermelon had a little watermelon skin on it.

Liu and Ruan An'an distributed the watermelons cut by Ruan Dashan, and said while handing out Ruan An'an, "The red is the flesh of the watermelon, and the white is the skin of the watermelon, don't eat the skin, and you can only taste one piece, because it takes a lot of effort to grow a watermelon, so it can't be wasted." ”

Some of the people who mixed in with the crowd and wanted to eat a few more pieces also took a break, and it would be humiliating if they were found to have spoken out.

The man who thought it was very expensive also tasted a piece, and the watermelon was indeed delicious, but it was too big, so he asked, "Little girl, I can't buy a watermelon, can I buy half of it?" ”

Ruan Anan nodded, "Of course you can." ”

Before she came, she thought that not every family had as many as their family, so she brought a knife.

Some people who are still worried about the big watermelon heard it, and they also said that they wanted to buy it, and hurriedly asked how much it was a catty, for fear that it would be sold out late, after all, this fresh thing is very popular.

"Our watermelon is ten dollars a pound."

Several in the crowd said it was too expensive and wanted to lower the price.

Of course, Ruan Anan will not reduce the price, she thinks it is cheap for ten cents, but this is not a rich place, and she can only sell it at this price.

A few people who couldn't afford it left one after another, and a few people gritted their teeth and decided to buy them back for their children to try.

Basically, everyone who comes asks for half, and half a watermelon is almost a dozen catties.

Ruan Dashan was responsible for cutting watermelons and weighing, Liu was responsible for collecting money, and Ruan Anan was responsible for greeting guests.

"Let's let, let's go." A man with a big belly squeezed in.
