Chapter 124: Selling melons was cut off
Several people arrived home safely.
Yi Mingxue fell asleep and got up early in the morning to pick watermelons.
She took out two eggs from the tank and went to Li Cong's house first.
Li Cong also got up.
It's just that the chimney at home is not smoking, and the family is sitting on the threshold munching on multigrain cakes.
Seeing her, Li Cong hurriedly stood up: "Why are you so early?" But what's wrong with me? ”
Yi Mingxue handed him the eggs and said straight to the point: "Liu Yuanwai in the town has ordered 500 catties of watermelons for my family, you can help me find a few helpers in the village to pick melons, and I will pay 20 clerks for one person." ”
As soon as he heard that there was a salary to pay, Li Cong's spirit immediately cheered up.
"Who can't recruit a salary of 20 Wen? You wait for me for a while, I'll go and see if Ge Da Ge Er is there. ”
So saying, he took up the basket and called out to the people in a hurry.
After a while, several people were called.
With a helper, Yi Mingxue immediately became much easier.
She is only responsible for selection, and then someone is responsible for picking, framing, and even moving.
In this way, the villagers saw a group of people early in the morning.
Pick and pick the watermelons to the yard of the second room of the Yi family.
I ran back and forth dozens of times, and I didn't stop.
Such a big action naturally attracted the attention of the people in the village.
Someone grabbed Li Cong and couldn't help but inquire.
"Li Cong, is this the melon of Yi Daya's family? How did it get ripe so quickly. ”
"What are you doing with so much? Could it be that this is the case to find a buyer? ”
This news made many villagers excited.
"Yi Daya's melon harvest is really good, not to mention thousands of catties."
"Her melons are easy to sell, and ours must be no different. Are we all going to send it too? ”
Everyone unconsciously began to think about the future.
The village chief hunched over and hid behind the crowd.
Hearing this, the essence flashed, and his beard cocked proudly.
Fortunately, ginger is still old and spicy.
If he hadn't planted around Yi Daya's melon field, I'm afraid he would have missed this great opportunity to make money.
Seeing that Li Cong and the others were very busy, the village chief hurried over.
He pretended to stop him inadvertently: "Li Cong, Yi Daya asked you to pick so many watermelons, where are you going to sell them, and what is the price?" ”
Looking at the village chief's thief eyebrows, Li Cong knew that he had bad intentions.
His chest was hot, and he said angrily: "Village chief, you have torn your face with the eldest girl, and you came to me to inquire about the melon market, I'm afraid you don't want to rob the eldest girl's business, right?" ”
was poked by his words, and the village chief's face instantly sank.
He was a little annoyed and angry: "How can you talk like this kid! I'm looking for you to nag, just to rob Yi Daya's business? She is a girl, what good buyers can she find, I am afraid that she will not dare to say it if she is not cheaply sold! ”
He stroked his beard and did not miss any opportunity to belittle Yi Mingxue.
Suddenly, there was a cold snort behind him.
"Village chief, I want to know why the price of melons doesn't come to me directly? What's the use of doing nothing here? ”
Yi Mingxue held a big round watermelon in her hand and walked over leisurely.
She put the melon in her hand into the nearest basket.
Twenty quintals, forty baskets.
Five hundred pounds is only a little more.
She didn't shy away from her selling price, and said bluntly: "Today, my 500 catties of watermelon were purchased by Liu Yuanwai, the richest man in Fengyun Town, and he gave me 80 wen a catty." ”
"Eighty and Eighty ?!!"
The village chief's doglegs who followed were stunned when they heard this.
Including the village chief himself, he was also dizzy by this shocking news.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he scolded angrily with a calm face: "Are you a good deception when I am an old man? Your watermelon is inlaid with gold edges, and it costs eighty wen for a catty. Bragging doesn't make a draft. ”
"Besides, what kind of stomach is Liu Yuanwai, can he eat five hundred catties of watermelon? I see that your brain disease is not light, and you have started to talk in your sleep. Don't end up with watermelons that can't be sold and rot in your hands! ”
Hearing this, the few people who have been standing with him all year round also echoed it.
Even the few people who helped Yi Mingxue harvest melons shook their heads in disbelief.
For a while, ridicule and ridicule erupted.
It is said that Yi Mingxue wants to get rich and wants to go crazy.
Originally, Li Cong and the Ge brothers were unswervingly on Yi Mingxue's side.
Hearing this, he was also a little shaken.
Eighty wen a pound? also took away 500 catties at a time.
It's a fantasy.
Yi Mingxue didn't care if they believed it or not.
I counted the watermelons on one side.
On the one hand, Yi Changle settled the wages for a few melon pickers.
……
Within half an hour, the people of the entire Dahe Village knew Yi Daya's foolish joke about dreams.
But just when everyone chewed the root of their tongues.
In Dahe Village, there are really a few richly decorated carriages.
Everyone poked their heads out curiously to take a look.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the courtyard of the second room of the Yi family.
A chubby figure came out and shouted at the top of his voice: "Miss Yi, are you at home?" I'm here to get the watermelon, are you ready for 500 catties? ”
Hearing the roar outside, Yi Mingxue hurriedly walked out of the house.
She didn't expect that Liu Yuanwai would come in person.
When a big customer came to the door, Yi Mingxue hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Liu Yuanwai into the yard.
She lifted the straw from the basket.
A full 500 catties of melons were neatly stacked on the wall.
There is also an extra layer of soft straw underneath to prevent the watermelon from being bumped.
Yi Mingxue smiled: "The freshly picked ones this morning are still fresh." Knowing that your house is busy, the Yi family basket is loaded, and you can take it away directly in the car. ”
I am very satisfied with her thoughtfulness, and Liu Yuanwai is also very happy to pay for it.
"You girl is a reliable worker, eighty wen a catty, five hundred catties, a total of four ......"
At this moment, Li Chunlan dragged her husband over in a hurry.
When he saw Liu Yuanwai, he licked his face and began to climb the relationship: "Brother-in-law, why didn't you tell us when you came?" It is also good to ask the family to prepare for it, so as not to be inadequately entertained. ”
Her man Hu Zhouquan is also extremely dog-legged, and his mouth is grinning.
"That's it! This little hour is still bothering your brother-in-law, you have a special trip, as long as someone delivers a letter here, we can help your brother-in-law finish it beautifully. ”
The two brothers-in-law are long and the brother-in-law is short, and Liu Yuanwai is confused.
His face was inconspicuous, but there was already a layer of anger in his eyes.
"Wait, who are you two? Who is your brother-in-law, I don't know you at all. Come and pull these two liars away. ”
Suddenly, two coarsely clothed guards stepped forward, carrying Li Chunlan and dragging them out.
Li Chunlan was so frightened that she quickly changed her words: "Outside Liu Yuan, we are not liars. I am Li Chunxiang's sister Li Chunlan. ”
At this time, Li Xianglan, who insisted on coming along, hurriedly lifted the curtain and said, "Master, this is my sister and brother-in-law." ”
Liu Yuanwai only then remembered that there seemed to be such a number one person.
His face was slightly pale, and he waved his hand to let his subordinates let them go.
But the perfunctory under the eyes is clear at a glance.
is as confused as Li Chunlan and his wife, as well as the village chief.
He didn't expect what Yi Daya said to be true.
And it was Liu Yuanwai who came to pick it up in person.
The price of eighty wen a pound was hot, and his heart jumped suddenly, and he squeezed through the crowd and laughed: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, our Chunxiang entered Liu Yuanwai's door, and that is Liu Yuanwai's person." It's all because Chunlan was too excited just now, so she made a fuss, don't mind Liu Yuanwai. ”
Liu Yuanwai didn't know him either, turned his head and squinted, "Are you?" ”
The village chief climbed along the pole with a relationship: "I am the village chief of Dahe Village, and the two Chunlan sisters also call me uncle." ”
It's good that he didn't speak, but as soon as he said this, he vomited and made Li Chunlan roll her eyes to the sky.
Since the last rape incident, her family and Village Chief Li's family have long torn their faces.
Now that she sees her sister making a fortune, Village Chief Li is shameless and wants to come up again.
Sure enough, Village Chief Li quickly revealed his purpose.
"Liu Yuanwai, if you want to talk about this watermelon, our village is not only Yi Daya's family, but my family also grows a lot."
Liu Yuanwaihu said suspiciously: "You also have watermelons at home?" ”
"Of course, and the price of eighty wen a pound is also black-hearted." Seeing that he seemed interested, the village chief was in good spirits and said busily, "Why don't I take you to have a look?" ”
Li Chunlan and Li Chunxiang glanced at each other.
Although her sister's family and the village chief also have disagreements, Li Chunxiang hates Yi Mingxue even more now.
So, he also fanned the flames on the side.
"Master, I think you were deceived by Yi Daya. Everyone in the village has watermelons, and she has to sell them to you at a high price, for fear that she will not treat you as a wronged leader. ”
Li Chunlan also mended the knife on the side, "Yes, this Yi Daya is usually a person who loves to be abducted in the village." Brother-in-law, you must keep your eyes open. ”
"That's right! When it comes to farming, we are all old-fashioned, where is a little girl who can be compared? ”
Everyone, you say a word, and you make it clear that you want to cut off Hu Yi Mingxue's business.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to the Yi family, the Yi family sisters and brothers were anxious and angry.
Yi Changle is the most sharp-mouthed, and immediately raised his neck and pointed at everyone and scolded.
"Do you want to be shameless? The village chief reversed himself and took my family's money on the front foot, and followed my eldest sister to plant melons on the back foot. Now that my eldest sister has negotiated a good deal, you actually want to cut off your beard again! I think few of you have real skills in farming, and you are all old-fashioned. ”
Yi Tianlei held his spear and stopped in front of his sisters.
"Third sister, don't talk to them so much. I think some people just don't owe a beating, just stick it out."
As he spoke, he was about to rush out and start to kill people.
was grabbed by Yi Mingxue's collar.
The girl's face was not shocked, and her eyes were clear.
She grabbed Yi Tianlei with one hand, who was kicking his legs.
looked at Liu Yuanwai and said with a smile.
"Liu Yuanwai, you are welcome to shop around."
