Chapter 43 Watermelon Big Sale
In the summer afternoon, there was some restlessness, and the sound of cicadas set off a wave.

From time to time, the sound of women beating and scolding children can be heard in the village, as well as the sound of men working in the fields shouting.

Under the shade of the big tree in the yard, Li Ran was lying on the recliner, looking at the sunlight shining through the leaves, feeling drowsy.

"Xia Tian, ​​please be gentle, don't disturb my sister." Li Heng ordered in a low voice, and secretly went out through the corner door of the yard.

Li Ran didn't fall asleep, and naturally heard Li Heng's sneaky voice, "Where do you want to sneak?"

"Ah, let's see, tell you to keep your voice down." Li Heng complained about Xia Tian, ​​and walked up to Li Ran with his head down, "Sister, we want to go to the stream to catch fish, sister, please let us go." Her bun face is deliberately cute.

Li Ran kept a straight face on purpose, "Have you written it in big characters? Have you mastered everything taught by Master?"

Li Heng secretly thought it was too bad, my sister was going to ask about her homework, and she hadn't written it yet. "I haven't written yet. It's so hot today. How can I be in the mood to write? I'll write when it rains and cools down."

"If it doesn't rain all the time, why don't you just keep writing?" Li Ran now finally understands how difficult it is to be a parent. "If you want to play again, you have to do your homework first. What will you do in the future? It's a hot day when you go to the Xiucai examination. Are you afraid of the heat and don't go?"

Li Heng kept his head down, clutching the sides of his trousers with both hands, not knowing what to say.Seeing that Li Ran was angry, Xia Tian immediately admitted his mistake, "Girl, we were wrong."

Li Ran didn't say a word after hearing this, but kept staring at Li Heng.

"Sister, I know I was wrong." Li Heng was actually a little afraid of Li Ran. Although his sister was young, she was still very dignified when she was serious.

Seeing that Li Heng already knew he was wrong, Li Ran didn't pursue him anymore, "Go and play, be careful, you can only be by the stream, and you are not allowed to go to places with deep water. From tomorrow onwards, I will watch you do your homework every morning. You can arrange it yourself in the afternoon."

"Oh, I got it, sister." After Li Heng finished speaking, he dragged Xia Tian away.

"Girl, I picked a few melons according to your instructions. Check to see if they are ripe. There are also some strawberries." Old Uncle Liu walked in with some watermelons and strawberries.

"Aunt Li, quickly bring a kitchen knife, let's taste how it tastes." Li Ran asked Aunt Li to bring a knife, and cut open the melon. Looking at the red one inside, Li Ran took a piece and tasted it. Sand, so sweet, so delicious. "Try it quickly, it's delicious." Li Ran ate a few more strawberries, which were very sweet.Although the strawberry was planted a little late this time, there are other reasons, the yield is not too high, I believe it will definitely do better next time.

Aunt Li, Old Uncle Liu, Xia Yu and others all took a piece and ate it, "Girl, it's delicious. I've only seen it before, but I haven't eaten it. It tastes so good." "Girl, it's delicious, my old Liu This is the first time to eat such a delicious fruit."

Everyone ate two pieces and their stomachs were too full. Li Ran asked Aunt Li to put the rest in a basket and put them in the well to eat at night.Li Ran asked Old Uncle Liu to pick some more from the field, and sent them to Su Bai, the old house, the village head's house, Aunt Ma's house, and the third mother-in-law.

"Girl, it's so delicious, it will definitely sell well when we send it to the town." Liu Ming is now running around the town with Chen Yun and the others, and now he can do some things, so he immediately thought of making money after eating the watermelon matter.

"Well, we will start supplying to the town tomorrow, let's sell it for five cents a catty, let's let the common people eat this fruit, by the way, Uncle Chen, you remember to send some to Fumanyun first, shopkeeper Yang has been Take good care of us, don't be left behind." Li Ran hasn't been to the town for a long time, and now it's Chen Shun who delivers the goods to Fumanyun.

"Yes, girl." Chen Shun agreed.

Early the next morning, Chen Shun bought a cart and went to the town to sell it in a vegetable store.

At the beginning, everyone just looked at it. Some people asked what it was, some thought it was a bit expensive, and some asked how to eat it, but no one bought it. It seems that the first person to eat crabs is needed.Seeing this, Liu Ming took a knife and cut the watermelon in half, then cut it into many small pieces, and let everyone taste it for free.

Seeing that it was free to try, some cheap women took a small piece and tried to eat it. A refreshing sweetness flowed from their mouths to their hearts, "It's delicious, everyone, try it, it's really sweet." Seeing what the woman said, the others started to taste it one after another, "It's really good, very sweet, and a lot of water." "It's not bad, but this melon should weigh about ten catties, it's too much, and it's a lot of money." "That's right..."

After hearing what these people said, Liu Ming said that he could cut half and half to sell. "That's a good way, let's have half of each of us." "Okay, boss, weigh one for me."

"Okay, auntie, this is yours, your six catties, a total of 35 Wen, auntie, this is yours, it is seven catties, and you will be charged [-] Wen." Liu Ming cut the melon quickly. , and then scaled.

When everyone saw this, the price was not expensive, so they all paid for it, some even bought several to eat at home, and some big families made an appointment to send how many melons to their homes every day until autumn.

On the first day, this watermelon ushered in a good start.

Li Ran is very happy. According to this speed, the melons in the field will be almost sold out in autumn, and the income will be several thousand taels again. In the coming days, Li Ran will focus on opening the hot pot restaurant.

Thinking about it, Li Ran went back to his study and began to draw the design drawings and recipes of his hot pot restaurant.
