Chapter 414: The Secret of Picking Watermelons
Faced with the boss's doubts, Jiang Zhimian expressed shock.
"You're selling watermelons, don't you know?"
The boss stiffened his neck, "Do I have to know?" ”
After a pause, he was very curious, "Then what do you think, tell me?" ”
Jiang Zhimian refused to say, lowered his head and knocked around on the watermelon, "If you sell it to me cheaper, I'll tell you." ”
She kind of understood, watermelons are a rare thing in the Jin Kingdom, and they have to be transported from the Northern Qi Dynasty, so few people in the Jin Kingdom know how to choose watermelons, after all, it is rare to see them, how can they know how to choose?
Even the businessmen who are responsible for reselling have little understanding of this, or in other words, they don't know how to pick at all.
"You just want to frame me and let me give you a cheaper, right?" The owner thinks he sees it thoroughly.
He waved his hand at Jiang Zhimian, "Little girl, if you don't have the money to buy it, forget it, if I send this watermelon to Yipinju, it may be higher than this price." ”
"If Yipinju buys your bad watermelon, I'm afraid I'll have to make trouble with you, right?" Jiang Zhimian said of course.
The boss's face sank, "I have all good watermelons here, don't talk nonsense, if you don't buy it, roll to the side!" ”
The sister-in-law immediately stopped in front of Jiang Zhimian, "Don't let you say that about my third sister, you are a bad person!" ”
"Gufu, don't be angry." Jiang Zhimian lowered his head and touched his head.
Then he stood up and looked at the boss, "Why don't we take a gamble?" ”
"I'm a little girl with you, what's there to gamble on, go and go, don't delay my business." The boss felt that Jiang Zhimian couldn't afford to buy watermelons, so his attitude began to become impatient.
If you really can afford it, why bother?
What else did he say to tell him how to look at watermelons and so on.
Joke, these watermelons all look similar, how can you know?
He was originally impatient, but until Jiang Zhimian took out five taels of silver, his eyes suddenly changed.
Smiling, he stretched out his hand to take the silver.
Jiang Zhimian stepped back, "Don't worry, you haven't said if you're willing to bet with me." ”
"How to bet!" The owner came in spirit.
"In this way, I say which melon is bad, you cut it, if it is good, I will give you five taels of silver, if it is bad, I will pick it myself, you sell it to me at a discount, and I will tell you the secret."
"Okay!"
The boss didn't think about it, so he agreed directly.
It's quite beautiful in my heart, and I feel that this little girl is really lacking in brains, so she actually bets this with him like this.
There are indeed bad ones in this batch of watermelons, but there are very few, she can't pick the bad ones all at once, right?
Just thinking about it, Jiang Zhimian had already pointed to one of them, "Cut it, this one is not ripe at all, it is raw." ”
"Then you can take a look, five taels of silver, you will give ...... Oh my God, it's really raw! ”
I saw that after the boss's long knife cut it, the watermelon was cut in half, and it was dangled on the board car, and the white flowers in it were particularly dazzling.
Although he hadn't eaten much watermelon, he knew that watermelon should be red.
Such a white one is obviously not ripe.
"This ...... It's just that you just happen to pick another one. The boss was in a hurry.
Jiang Zhimian picked it again according to what he said, "This is all ripe, you open it, it must be starting to break inside." ”
The boss is all open, and it is true, the red pulp has turned into a deep red, and it is soft, exuding a stuffy sweet smell.
He tried to take a bite, then threw it up.
"Little girl, how do you see it, do you know the language of watermelon, and you shoot him just to talk to it?" The boss asked anxiously.
Jiang Zhimian couldn't help but be embarrassed.
She also understands the language of watermelons, why doesn't she fly directly into the sky and call her brother shoulder to shoulder with the sun?
She took back the five taels of silver, with a smile on her face, and asked, "Boss, can you sell it to me at a discount now?" ”
"Sell, sell, tell me, how the hell is this done." The boss asked eagerly.
As long as he knows how to pick watermelons, when he goes to Northern Qi to transport watermelons in the future, he can pick them himself first.
In this way, you can make more money by selling it yourself.
After all, it was very difficult to go to the Northern Qi Kingdom, but it turned out that it was a bad melon that was bought back with money, and it was really not worth it.
Jiang Zhimian was not in a hurry, and asked him with a smile, "Then how much do you give me?" ”
"Okay, one, two, four, okay?" The boss gritted his teeth.
Earn three taels less silver, but in exchange for a big business opportunity, it's worth it!
Jiang Zhimian also felt that it was cost-effective, so he quietly told the boss how to identify the quality of watermelons.
First of all, it is to slap the watermelon and distinguish it by its sound.
Unripe watermelons make a crisp popping sound, while ripe watermelons make a dull popping sound, and the bigger the watermelon, the more muffled the sound.
If the shooting is the same as shooting the solid one, it is the sound of tuk tuk, that is, the sweet potato is ripe to spoilage.
The second trick is to look at the umbilical circle, the umbilical circle is located at the bottom of the watermelon, and the small, round and slightly concave watermelon is the sweeter watermelon.
The last trick is to look at the color.
Even if they are all green watermelons, in fact, there are differences in color when carefully compared.
The turquoise ones are ripe and sweet, and the misty ones are white and mist, but they are not yet ripe.
After hearing this, the boss was immediately in awe.
I didn't expect to pick a watermelon, and there are so many exquisitenesses.
"Little girl, you see me pick one, according to your method, if you pick well, I will give it to you to eat, if it is not good, it means that your method is wrong, I can't give you a cheap."
"But you just promised to ask for one, two, or four." My sister-in-law was very unhappy.
This man is not trustworthy and is a bad person!
Jiang Zhimian didn't care.
When doing business, you can't always believe what others say, and sometimes a little chicken thief is good for yourself.
Anyway, what she said was true, and after the boss cut it, he just gave her a watermelon for nothing.
What does it matter.
Pick it!
According to the three methods said by Jiang Zhimian, the boss carefully selected a circle, and finally selected a watermelon of more than five catties, cut it open, the melon pulp is dark red, and has begun to turn the sand, under the sun, the melon pulp is like sprinkling a layer of sugar, but it looks good!
And just by smelling the fragrance, you know that this watermelon must be very sweet!
Jiang Zhimian was so happy that he put the watermelon he had picked a long time ago into the vegetable basket, plus the one cut by the boss, paid a tael of silver, and left with a smile.
Only the boss was left stunned for a long time, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
The basket contained these watermelons, and it suddenly became heavy, making Jiang Zhimian's fingers bloodshot.
Just as he was about to find a place to rest, a familiar voice came from not far away, "Isn't this Miss Jiang, you're shopping for vegetables?" ”
Jiang Zhimian looked up, the expression on his face was indifferent, his apricot eyes blinked, and said, "Yes, make something delicious, I'm hungry." ”
