- After breakfast, Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao put the chessboard on the table. In the next two steps, the phone in the room rang, but he had no choice but to quickly enter the room to answer the phone.
The call was from Zhao Guangming, saying that there were guests at home at noon and asked him to deliver seven large watermelons. This guy really made me give him melons. The day before yesterday I thought it was just a talk.
"So much? Seven watermelons weigh about a hundred pounds, which is enough for your family to eat for a week." Liu Junhao is not worried that his watermelons will go bad, but it is better to eat fresh watermelons in summer.
¡°I keep a few at home, and let the guests take away 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 would have thought that something went wrong when he put it into the bamboo basket? His watermelons were too big, so he only put three of them in and the embroidery basket was full.
Liu Junhao had no choice but to go to Er Mazi¡¯s house and borrow another bamboo basket, so that he could carry one on each side of the bicycle to maintain balance. However, even if he uses two embroidery baskets, he can only put six watermelons at most, and he can only put the remaining one in the cart basket in front. Afraid of crushing the basket, he tied it with a rope.
The weight of the watermelon weighs 200 to 300 kilograms, even with the person on it. Fortunately, my bike is an old-fashioned big bike with excellent quality. Otherwise, the tire pressure would have been blown out.
Liu Junhao jumped into the car and rushed towards the market. Although it had just arrived at nine o'clock, he still felt hot.
Usually at this time, I sit under the poplar tree and drink watermelon juice. Zhao Guangming is really not a good boy. He won't give watermelon as a gift next time. If he wants to eat it, he can buy it himself.
Liu Junhao complained in his heart. His feet kicked faster and faster. He was on the street in less than half an hour.
Just entered the street. Suddenly an old lady rushed out from the nearby store.
He was startled. He hurriedly squeezed the brake and turned the handlebar to stop. Fortunately, I am very skilled. If he had bumped into this old lady just now, he would have been in big trouble.
"Young man, are you selling watermelons on the street?" He just got out of the car. The old lady has already arrived.
"That's right." Liu Junhao didn't know what she was trying to do by stopping his 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. Several women who were enjoying the shade under the shade of the trees also came forward.
"Don't I'm selling this watermelon to someone else. We've already discussed it." Only then did Liu Junhao realize and hurriedly stopped him.
"You are such a good boy. You are not selling to anyone. We will also give you money. How much is a pound?" A woman said and took out a big watermelon from a bamboo basket and praised it: "It's really big. One is enough for the whole family.¡±
"This is a large flower skin, of course it is big. This watermelon is delicious, but the skin is also thick and takes up a lot of weight." The old lady helped again.
"No, aunt, I really gave this watermelon to someone else. They are still waiting at home." Liu Junhao saw more people surrounding him and hurriedly packed up the car and shouted.
"Why are you so stubborn? I'll just go home and pick a few later. The watermelon I bought you is still whining, which is not fun at all. Let me weigh these two and see how much they weigh."
"I didn't bring a scale." He was in a hurry when he came and didn't bring a scale at all. He just wanted to go to the street and let Zhao Guangming weigh himself.
"You're such a strange person. How can anyone sell something without a scale? His second aunt, go and get the scale out of my house." The old lady turned around and shouted to a woman who was picking melons.
Sweat, I didn't plan to sell well. Before he could argue, the seven watermelons had been divided up.
Others saw watermelons being sold here and came over to buy them, but the old lady covered the watermelons with her hands like an old hen protecting her food and shouted: "No more, no more, we've got all this watermelon."
"How much does it cost per pound?" Only then did a few people remember to ask about the price of the watermelon field.
"One dollar per pound"
"How much," they all stopped now.
"Young man, you are so unreasonable. The most expensive seedless melon sold on the street only costs 60 cents a pound. Although this watermelon is big, it is not worth a dollar. Do you think this is a watermelon from Liujiagou? .¡±
"What do you mean?" Liu Junhao was made dizzy by the old lady's scolding.
"I heard that in our area only the watermelons grown by a young man in Liujiagou can be sold for one yuan. But their watermelons are grown on trees and irrigated with Tai Sui water, so they are valuable. You Although the large flower leather is not bad, I can give you a price of up to 60 cents at most."
??"Haha, I'm the guy you were talking about." Liu Junhao felt proud, but he didn't expect that he would accidentally become a master of melon cultivation. Watering with Tai Sui water? Where did this begin? It was probably spread by people in the town. However, he didn't think about distinguishing, it was better to maintain a sense of mystery.
"You are!? It's impossible. Why don't I see any difference in this watermelon?" The old lady was stunned for a while, then stared at the watermelon in the bamboo basket.
Look.
"The appearance of this large-flowered melon is no different from the ordinary ones, except that the flesh is a little sweeter," Liu Junhao was relieved when he saw that they didn't buy it.
"Really, fake, I'll buy one to try." The old lady was half-convinced, but still made up her mind to buy one. But in the end, she specifically said: "Young man, you can't lie to me."
"Don't worry, I can't lie to you. I won't leave until you cut the watermelon open and taste it. If it doesn't taste good, how about giving it to you for free?" Liu Junhao didn't want to leave because his reputation was at stake.
"That's easy to say, this is the watermelon." The old lady hugged the watermelon she initially selected.
Liu Junhao drove his car towards the door of the small shop and followed them into the house. After the watermelon is cut into pieces, the flesh of the sweet potato is very eye-catching.
"How about you all try it? If it's delicious, help me promote it more in the future." Liu Junhao greeted loudly. He had already made up his mind to wait for this watermelon to be free of charge, and it would be better to leave a good reputation.
"It's really good. This watermelon is worth one dollar."
After several women tasted it, they all praised it.
"Young man, you are honest and you are not lying. I will buy another big flowered skin later. It is not easy to find a good watermelon." The old lady said.
The other women all picked out their own picks. In fact, these watermelons were all the same, and there was nothing to choose from.
He didn¡¯t ask for money for the watermelon just now, and sold the remaining six for 106 yuan. Counting the money, he remembered about sending watermelon to Zhao Guangming's family. Maybe people are waiting very anxiously now. Thinking of this, Liu Junhao hurriedly rode home to pick melons.
"Sent it over so quickly?" Professor Zhao was playing with the turtle dove in the yard. When he saw him riding back sweating profusely, he asked in surprise.
"Stop talking, the watermelon was bought as soon as it arrived at the street corner. Now I have to pick it for others again." After sitting on a chair and drinking a glass of watermelon juice, he went to the backyard to pick watermelon.
"Of course this means watermelon is good," Professor Zhao hurriedly came over to help.
After picking seven large watermelons, Liu Junhao cycled to the streets again.
As soon as we arrived at the street corner, the old lady from afar said hello: "Young man, the watermelon is here again,"
"Yeah" Liu Junhao didn't dare to stop this time, fearing that she would stop him from buying watermelon again.
Who would have thought that he hurried to Zhao Guangming¡¯s house, only to find that the door was locked.
This guy, what he said on the phone was just sitting at home waiting for him to come to deliver melons. It's better now. I rushed here despite the scorching sun but couldn't see the owner.
Liu Junhao waited under the sun for more than ten minutes, and his head was swollen. He saw that waiting like this was not an option, so he wanted to put the watermelon at Lao Guo's place first, and he could go back first.
Lao Guo¡¯s stall is at the corner, not too far away.
When he passed by, Lao Guo was sitting on a chair smoking. It¡¯s hot in summer and people go to the market early, as there isn¡¯t much business at this time.
"Xiao Hao, why are you on the street to buy beef? I just slaughtered it yesterday, it's absolutely fresh." Lao Guo saw him coming and quickly handed over a cigarette.
"How can I eat beef every day? I was delivering watermelon to Zhao Guangming. When I came here, I found out that the door of his house was locked tightly and the whole family didn't know where they were." Liu Junhao wiped his sweat and sat in the shed. .
"Are these the big flower barks you planted on your trees? They are so big." Lao Guo couldn't help but admire them after seeing them.
"Well, do you want it? If so, I'll give you a few next time as beef money."
"No, there's no one at home anyway, so you can just sell this watermelon to me." Lao Guo said and was about to step forward to 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 to the street for the third time in a hot day."
Then he told what had just happened again, which made Lao Guo laugh, "Then I don't want it. I wanted to try your watermelons. You must get some for me next time you come over. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth and she wants to eat something fresh."
"Of course there is no problem with this," Liu Junhao nodded, and then explained his purpose again.
? ??It's okay, go ahead. I'll see that boy Zhao Guangming later and ask him to get the watermelon. "
"Don't panic, give me a bowl of beef offal soup first. After tossing it back and forth a few times, the little food in your stomach has been digested." He rested for a while, and the heat in his heart disappeared a little, and he suddenly felt empty in his stomach. of.
"That's good, old lady, cut more cooked beef." Lao Guo turned his head and greeted. Cooked beef costs fifteen yuan a pound, but beef offal soup only costs one yuan and a half a bowl. Naturally, there won't be much beef in the soup. Most of it is beef heart and lungs and the like. Lao Guo's soup stock is reliable, so there are many people who come to Wagyu Offal Soup.
Soon after, Lao Guo¡¯s wife put a large bowl of beef soup on the table. Looking at the half bowl of cooked beef, Liu Junhao knew that he did not treat him as an outsider.
