Zhang Dehua has been selling fruit for nearly 10 years. He has only selected good watermelons for customers, and has never specifically selected raw watermelons for customers...

It’s really evil, it’s the first time it’s ever happened.

Is this kid here to fool me?

Zhang Dehua was about to refuse, but his wife Wan Hong grabbed him and said, "Are you keeping these watermelons for yourself? No matter who it is, if someone wants to buy it, just sell it to him, so that we can reduce our losses."

This sounds reasonable. These low-quality watermelons cannot be sold in the first place. Should we keep them for ourselves?

For money, this kind of thing is not shabby.

"Why do you want to buy raw watermelon?" Zhang Dehua asked further.

"I'm going to make a short video with these watermelons... You won't understand the details. This time I just want to grow watermelons, and occasionally mix in a few good melons." Lin Tao explained.

It is difficult to choose between ripe and raw watermelons. After all, he does not have X-rays. If Lin Tao wants to buy raw watermelons, he can only judge based on experience. Even if there are a handful of ripe watermelons, he can accept it.

It turns out he really wants to give birth to watermelons...

"Yes! You wait!" Zhang Dehua leaned over and said, he opened the curtain and went to the back of the house to move the watermelons.

To pick a good watermelon, look at the grain, identify the stem, and listen to the sound. As for picking a raw watermelon, just do the reverse.

If the watermelon is not round and has shallow lines, it means there is not enough light and it will definitely not taste sweet.

The protruding melon stem is the "male" one, which develops too early, and most of the melon seeds inside are immature.

As for the sound, it's even simpler. If you knock it a few times and the echo is dull and has no rebound, it's usually sand.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Dehua selected a dozen watermelons with "crooked melons and cracked dates", "superficial texture" and "soft sound" and placed them in front of Lin Tao.

He can't guarantee that these melons are all raw, but more than 89% of them are definitely raw.

"Great, I just want this kind of watermelon!" Lin Tao was overjoyed.

Zhang Dehua weighed these 20 raw watermelons four times, totaling 180 kilograms.

"Okay, how much does it cost?" Lin Tao took out his mobile phone and asked.

People who buy melons from the same industry know the purchase prices thoroughly, and what’s more, what Lin Tao bought this time are raw watermelons, which is equivalent to scrapping the melons.

"The price doesn't matter. You also know the base price. Let it cost you 1 yuan per catty." Zhang Dehua continued.

He can only sell these melons as "scrap metal".

"No problem!" Lin Tao immediately scanned the QR code and paid 180 yuan, buying 20 raw watermelons in one go.

Lin Tao moved the 20 raw watermelons back to his store one after another several times.

"He just said, why buy these raw watermelons?" Wan Hong asked.

"What kind of short video are you making...We can't understand the things of young people." Zhang Dehua shook his head and said.

Ever since Lin Tao's shop closed and reopened, Zhang Dehua has always felt that he was weird, but he couldn't tell where it was.

But for Lin Tao, these 20 raw watermelons were like a treasure.

Why buy raw watermelon?

Because Lin Tao wants to pretend to "sell miserably".

My store is full of high-quality watermelons with improved systems. If you want to grow watermelons, you can only go to the store opposite to buy them.

He came up with an idea and decided to make a short video of melons being cut open and sold miserably on the spot.

Lin Tao set up a selfie stand, pointed his cell phone camera at himself, and held a watermelon knife in his hand, ready to start shooting.

"The temperature has been above 35 degrees these days, so watermelons will definitely sell well. I bought a batch of 8424 watermelons, and business will definitely be good! I will open a few watermelons below to show everyone how good my melons are...

"Lin Tao pretended to be confident and kept talking.

Under the camera, Lin Tao picked up the watermelon knife and "swish" it, cutting into a big watermelon.

"Oh my god, it's actually a raw watermelon?" Lin Tao looked at the red and yellow flesh of the melon and looked at the camera, pretending to be surprised...

Lin Tao threw the cut watermelon aside and prepared to open the second watermelon.

"Why is this watermelon pink?" Lin Tao looked at the color of the flesh of the second watermelon and shook his head pretending to be disappointed.

Lin Tao was not discouraged and opened five more watermelons in a row.

Among these five watermelons, only one was good, and the other four were either raw, pulpy, or overripe.

"I don't believe it, the quality of the watermelons I bought is so bad!" Lin Tao said "angry".

He lined up 10 watermelons, then raised his knife and stabbed the watermelons wildly. The sound of "clicking" was heard endlessly, which was very relaxing to hear.

The watermelon army was "completely destroyed..."

Lin Tao pretended to wipe his eyes in front of the camera, expressing that he was in pain inside.

His temper "suddenly" became anxious, and then he smashed the remaining watermelon on the ground to express his despair...

At the end, Lin Tao did not forget to add: "The urban routine is too deep, I want to go back to the countryside."

For this performance, Lin Tao spent more than half an hour using more than 20 low-quality watermelons as props.

He finally understood that shooting videos was by no means a technical job, but a physical job.

But this time, he did not choose to post the video of "cutting melons and selling them miserably" to the "community circle", but planned to upload it to the Douyin platform for everyone's entertainment.

In order to enhance the value of the video, Lin Tao also interspersed some tips on selecting watermelons in the video, using the method of "explaining the opposite".

Lin Tao trimmed it roughly, then clicked the "Publish" button and synchronized it to Winter Melon Video.

About half an hour later, a text message reminder of the comment popped up on Lin Tao’s phone.

It seems that the short video I took has been reviewed.

Lin Tao hurriedly opened the platform and checked the background data.

In just a few minutes, Lin Tao's video of "cutting melons and selling them miserably" has already received 22 likes, 13 comments, 5 favorites, and 3 forwards.

"You're so funny, you made me laugh to death. You thought you were cutting tofu, but watching you cut watermelon made me feel better inexplicably."

"Have you touched something dirty with your hands? 20 watermelons, all of them are bad."

"Don't waste it. Donate it to the hippopotamus in the zoo. It doesn't care about raw or cooked melons."

"I'm so scared that I don't dare to buy watermelon. Can I eat cantaloupe instead?"

Lin Tao looked at the comments of water friends and laughed so hard.

It’s really interesting. In the video, I am eating melon seriously, and the full-flavored ridicule in the comments is in sharp contrast, which makes people laugh.

"How can this cut into a watermelon? All I see is that the white money is gone..."

"If I don't go out and buy a lottery ticket today, I'll be really sorry for the watermelon knife in my hand."

"You bad guy, tell me which stock you bought today and I will sell it in the opposite direction!"

"Why don't you stop cutting when you cut 20 melons? Keep cutting and fight until dawn..."

Within an hour, Lin Tao's video of "cutting melons and selling them for misery" went viral on the Internet.

The embarrassment of Lin Tao's failure to cut the melon is full of joy. It makes people laugh and laugh at the same time, and it is very relaxing, refreshing and enjoyable to watch.
