Chapter 172: Opening

Miss Zhuang gave her best friend a roll of her eyes in disgust, if she could choose again, she really didn't want to know this product, it was too embarrassing, there was wood! My style has been lowered, there is wood!! Although ~ she didn't want to admit it, she also coveted this watermelon a little in her heart.

The shopkeeper has been in business for many years, and he can guess the thoughts of the guests. She observed that Miss Zhuang was a little reserved, but her eyes couldn't help but peek at the fruit bowl. Miss Wang made no secret of her interest in watermelon, looking like she wanted to eat it but was embarrassed to accept it.

She took the tray very understandingly, smiled at the delicate and agile little girl in front of her, and said, "Thank you, dare to ask the girl's surname?" ”

"My surname is Yu, sisters want to eat well, remember to come tomorrow!" Yu Xiaocao smiled sweetly at the proprietress and waved her paws, and went back to the store to tidy up.

It will open early tomorrow morning, and she has already asked her father for instructions today, and she will stay in the hotel tonight. Most of the shops on this street in Tanggu Town are shops in front, and there are two-entry courtyards in the back, as well as wing rooms or something.

The shopkeeper Feng watched the little girl go to the next door, touched her face, and said with a smile: "This little guy, I'm almost old enough to be her mother, call me 'sister'?" Do I look younger? ”

Miss Wang said eagerly: "Shopkeeper Feng, this watermelon is for us to taste, right?" The little girl is so generous! ”

"What is there to be generous about the things you grow at home and you don't have much capital? However, how can a small farmer afford to rent such an expensive shop? When did the farmer become so rich? Miss Zhuang looked at the watermelon that was cut into small pieces and had a toothpick inserted, but her mouth was a little mean.

Miss Wang knew her temperament, and automatically blocked the unpleasant part of her words, and said with a smile: "Maybe this watermelon is produced on someone's farm?" However, the rich families in Tanggu Town have never heard of the surname Yu! ”

Shopkeeper Feng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Surname Yu?" The owner of the shop I rented seems to be surnamed Yu. However, the person who signed the contract with us at the time was the one I was talking about. ”

"Maybe the shop is hers! I just heard the little girl call that bearded 'godfather'! Let me try the watermelon produced in our Tanggu Town, how does it taste! ”

Miss Wang impatiently picked up a toothpick and stuffed the red melon flesh on it into her mouth. The expression on her face suddenly relaxed, choked on the sweet juice, and she wanted to cough but was reluctant to cough out the juice in her mouth, and her face was flushed.

"Look at your breath! Don't say you know me when you go out! Miss Zhuang avoided the side, afraid that this girl would spray saliva on herself.

Miss Wang finally swallowed the watermelon in her mouth, coughed a few times, and couldn't wait to fork another piece, stuff it into her mouth, and said vaguely in her mouth: "It's so sweet!" It's so sweet!! Sweeter than the watermelon you eat at home, don't believe you try it!! ”

Miss Zhuang finally stopped holding Qiao, and the orchid finger pinched a toothpick, and the handkerchief in the other hand was next to her mouth, and then the watermelon on the toothpick was gently sent into her mouth. A sweet and refreshing taste burst in her mouth in an instant, and the juice of the watermelon almost ran down the corners of her mouth. She wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief while savoring the taste of watermelon in her mouth.

It is a kind of sweetness that is different from any sweetness, the general sweetness is a little greasy, but the sweetness of this watermelon is sweet with a refreshing feeling, and no matter how much you eat, you will not feel greasy. This kind of sweetness is exactly the kind that Miss Zhuang likes!!

After tasting the sweetness in her mouth, she raised her eyes to look over, but saw Miss Wang one by one, her mouth did not stop for a moment, and she had already eaten most of the watermelon on the plate. Miss Zhuang was furious in her heart, but she forcibly suppressed it.

She took the fruit plate held by Miss Wang with a little toughness, glanced at her sharply, and said, "Cow chews peony!" Blind a plate of watermelon!! ”

Miss Wang saw that the fruit bowl was gradually moving away from her, and stretched out her hand and said pitifully, "Don't! I haven't eaten enough! ”

"How much do you eat? Did you eat it so fast and taste it? Miss Zhuang slowly picked up the watermelon on the plate and tasted it carefully. Miss Wang was drooling on the side, staring at it with a blank eye.

There were not many watermelons in the fruit bowl, and Miss Wang had just eaten more than half of them, and the rest was quickly eaten by Miss Zhuang. She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, raised her foot and walked to the next door.

"Sister Ami, why are you going?" The girl walked behind her on her heels.

Miss Zhuang ignored her, came to the next door, and saw the little girl who had just delivered the fruit plate, directing the three big men to tidy up the shelves. She cleared her throat, and when she saw the little girl looking over, she said, "Thank you for the watermelon, it tastes good!" I'm here to bring you plates! ”

"Sister is welcome! I'll pick it up for a while next door!! Yu Xiaocao saw that her eyes were reluctant to leave the watermelons on the shelf, and she knew that she was very satisfied with her watermelons.

Miss Zhuang walked into the store like a willow in the wind, looking at the price on every shelf. "Five taels", "four taels", "three taels", what is this? Five taels of silver a pound? The watermelons in the capital are not so expensive!! However, it seems that her watermelon is much better than that in the capital.

"Help me weigh a few of the biggest, and I'll send someone to pick them up tomorrow when you open!" It's a set price!! Miss Zhuang took out a five-tael gold ingot and handed it to Yu Xiaocao.

Gold ingots? Yu Xiaocao handled either silver or silver tickets, and she really hadn't seen this golden thing! Look at the size, there are also five taels, which is equivalent to fifty taels of silver! In the end, she is a rich lady, and she is generous!

"This sister, the watermelons in our store are sold by the head. On the shelves here, the watermelons are about 20 catties, priced at five taels of silver. With your deposit, you can buy ten watermelons of this size!! If your family doesn't have that much of a family, you can buy two and go back and eat first. In the future, we will bring the newly picked watermelon back every day, buy fresh food every day, and the taste will be better! Yu Xiaocao adheres to the true meaning of "customer first" and sincerely thinks about Miss Zhuang.

Although Miss Zhuang is arrogant, she is not ignorant of what is good, and she is slightly better at hearing the words of the little girl. She smiled slightly and said, "Five taels and one!" The price is much cheaper than in the capital! Sure enough, it's cheap and good!! Then I'll order ten first, not only to eat at home, but also to send to relatives and friends! ”

"Okay!" People are wealthy, and Yu Xiaocao naturally won't be afraid of money. She took the golden ingot, and a smile bloomed on her face, "This sister, I'll give you a receipt......"

"No, not much money! Tomorrow you give the watermelon to the person who came from the dealer, and that's it!! "Miss Zhuang is only fifty taels of silver, and she can't see it in her eyes, it doesn't matter if the receipt is not received.

Miss Wang walked around the shop a few times, and when she heard the price, she was overjoyed. She thought that the price of such a delicious watermelon would definitely not be cheap. I heard Miss Zhuang say that the watermelon her brother bought in the capital costs two taels of silver a catty! A small watermelon, a few dozen taels of silver. She's a businessman's*, and she can't buy a watermelon every month.

I didn't expect that the watermelon in this melon shop could be bought for five taels of silver. In this way, if she uses her monthly routine, she can buy one a month!

"I'll also order one, I'll personally bring someone to pick it up tomorrow!!" Miss Wang took out a silver ingot of five taels from her small purse, and her face was smiling, like a little hamster with peanuts.

Yu Xiaocao quickly issued two receipts, handed them to the two flower-like girls respectively, and explained to Miss Zhuang with a smile: "Tomorrow will open, there will be a lot of people, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the busy situation at that time." Let's pick up the watermelon with the bill! ”

Miss Zhuang hesitated for a moment before taking the receipt, which was not pretty, and glanced at Xiaocao with disgust. However, looking at her age and dress, I felt that I was too demanding. Most of the girls in ordinary families in the town don't know a word. This little girl can write a few words, which is not bad!

Miss Wang had already picked the biggest watermelon in the shop, and said with a smile: "Little girl, I choose this, you help me put it away first, and I'll get it tomorrow!" ”

Miss Wang's calculations made Miss Zhuang disgusted again. Yu Xiaocao smiled and said, "No problem!" Uncle Li, the watermelon that the girl selected was removed from the shelves and placed in the corner of the shop. This sister, you look at it, I'll make a mark for you, you pay attention to it tomorrow. ”

Miss Wang looked at the watermelon she had chosen with satisfaction, which was tied up by Yu Xiaocao with a straw rope, and the straw rope was stuffed with a piece of paper with strange symbols (Arabic numerals), and nodded again and again.

Miss Zhuang was completely speechless to Miss Wang, she didn't care about the goods, walked out of the shop first, and headed towards her carriage.

The next day, with a crackling sound of firecrackers, Yu Xiaocao's watermelon shop finally opened! She originally wanted to set off a string of firecrackers in a very low-key manner, unveil the plaque, and officially open it! Unexpectedly, she didn't notice anyone, but in front of her melon shop, she saw many familiar faces.

Wu Xianling was dressed in regular clothes, with his baby son, and the subordinates behind him held gifts, arched his hand towards Yu Xiaocao-her godfather, and said continuously: "Congratulations, congratulations!" Master Fang, why didn't you notify the officials when your shop opened? ”

The house town was happy: "My daughter's shop, she wants to keep a low profile, so none of us have notified!" ”

Zhou Zixu also came over with a gift, and he snorted dissatisfiedly: "It's just someone else!" Xiaocao, you're too boring! What is our relationship? Who can't not invite me to this opening bar without inviting me? ”

The old lady of the Yao family actually came over with a gift today, and he was followed by the newly promoted chief steward - Xiaocao's old acquaintance. If it weren't for the meritorious purchase in the Yu family and the blue eyes of the master, how could he have his share in the position of chief steward?
