Chapter 116 Go to the area to buy watermelon(1/2)

Wang Xiong's work efficiency was pretty good, and Gu Wanjun came soon.

Seeing Gu Wanjun, Liu Chen bowed his hands and said, "Long time no see, long time no see."

Gu Wanjun smiled and returned the greeting: "Long time no see, long time no see."

"Oh, are you okay? Let's go quickly."

Wang Xiong really couldn't stand it anymore, these two people were quite particular.

"Would you like to talk to your elder brother and grandma?"

"No, they are still sleeping, so don't disturb them."

"Set off."

The three people sat on the carriage and set off to the bridge area.

"I haven't seen you for so many days, so I thought you were silent? I don't have any money to spend."

Gu Wanjun looked at Liu Chen with a tacit expression.

"I understand what you mean, isn't this coming? I'm short of money, so let's do it."

This Gu Wanjun was led astray by herself. What a good girl she was. She couldn't go to work and was asked to take leave every now and then.

"How many days off have you asked for?"

Liu Chen thought to himself that this girl was considered "wasted" and she no longer worked well. She had asked for leave and been absent from work several times. This time she would definitely take a few more days.

"Not much, not much, three days, three days."

Gu Wanjun gestured with three fingers.

Anyway, I go to work to make money. The key is that I only earn more than thirty yuan a month. If I follow Liu Chen, I will earn dozens of hundred yuan a day. I don’t have to put in much effort, so why not? As long as I don’t make money.

That's it, it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat.

As for the speculation, Gu Wanjun had already forgotten about it.

As the saying goes, "A horse cannot fatten without night grass, and a man cannot be rich without external wealth." The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

"Gurgling." Gu Wanjun's stomach made a protesting sound.

"Gulu, Gulu." Then came the stomachs of Wang Xiong and Liu Chen.

You have to eat first, you can't do it if you're hungry.

As the old saying goes, "If you are not active in eating, there will be something wrong with your brain."

"Let's go to the state-owned hotel to buy some steamed buns to eat."

Liu Chen gave the money and food stamps to Wang Xiong. With the money, Wang Xiong ran very fast.

After a while, Wang Xiong came with a big meat bun.

On the second day of the third lunar month, several big meat buns came into my stomach, and my stomach finally subsided.

An hour or two later, we arrived at the Lianqiao area.

It's easy to get things done if you have acquaintances in a strange city.

Stop the carriage aside and let Wang Xiong go find Maozi and Ergou first.

Wang Xiong searched around and finally saw two dogs running around on the street with grass in their mouths.

Wang Xiong called Ergou to stop, and Ergou turned around and saw Wang Xiong, so he ran over quickly. He hadn't seen him for a long time, and the items were sold out. He was worried about nothing during this time. He was thinking about when they would come, and this

I came here after thinking about it.

"Where's your brother? He's here to live."

When Ergou heard that Laihuo was coming, he looked around and felt very happy.

"Wait, I'll call my brother."

Wang Xiong stood there and waited while Ergou ran to find his brother Maozi.

After a while, the two brothers arrived.

"Where is Liu Chen? Are you there? I heard Ergou said he is here, where is he? Go quickly?"

Mao Zi asked several questions in succession, so that Wang Xiong didn't know which question to answer first.

"Okay, stop talking and come with me. They are waiting over there."

The two brothers followed Wang Xiong, trotted all the way, and finally came to Liu Chen and the others.

"Maozi, Ergou, how are you doing lately?"

"Brother Chen, you're here. Everything is done. I'll give you the money later."

Liu Chen waved his hand, indicating that he was not in a hurry, and told Maozi and Ergou that if they were short of money, they could misappropriate the flowers first.

The two brothers shook their heads happily. They had a lot of money left last time, and they usually only bought some food and cigarettes. Although Maozi had to buy medicine for his wife, Liu Chen had a lot of money last time, which was enough for them to spend a while.

of.

Liu Chen found a hidden place, took out his watch and gave it to Mao Zi for twenty yuan, and asked Mao Zi to find Scar first and wholesale the things to Scar first.

Liu Chen took out some more mosquito coils and insect killers and gave them to Wang Xiong. He asked Wang Xiong to take the two dogs to sell them first. He told Wang Xiong all the methods and asked Wang Xiong to take the two dogs.

Wang Xiong carried it. Wang Xiong also remembers it. The cooperation between Wang Xiong and Ergou was pretty good last time.

Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun were left, waiting for Mao Zi first. Later, Mao Zi found Scar and gave him the things. The three of them sold watermelons together. After all, Mao Zi was the most familiar with this territory. Many people would give Mao Zi face and generally would not report it.

.

This guy was very efficient in his work. He came back in more than 20 minutes, gave everything to Scar, and Scar took some of his brothers to work.

Mao Zi took Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun to the vegetable market first. The vegetable market in this area was quite large, and there were relatively many people buying vegetables. At a station exit, he parked the carriage aside, and Liu Chen took down the watermelon and put it on the

on the ground.

He then took a fruit knife from the 2022 era and cut the watermelon into two halves, covered the red watermelon pulp with the plastic wrap he brought, and held the half of the watermelon he had just cut in his hands.

At this time, several people gathered around, looked at the watermelons on the ground, and began to ask about the price.

At this time, Liu Chen put on his glasses and a hat, and imitated the watermelon seller and started shouting: "People coming from the south and north, come and take a look. Come and take a look. Eat radishes in the east and melons in the summer."

Good spirit, good temperament, good quality, low price, red and sweet, not red or sweet, free of charge.”

Just when Liu Chen said this, many people who went to buy vegetables, those who came back from shopping, and a few vegetable sellers came over to watch the fun. Who has seen this kind of behavior? They are selling in secret, and this guy can also sing.

Strange, really strange.

Seeing that there were more people, Liu Chen got even more excited, and then shouted: "Both adults and children love to eat it. Our watermelon tastes delicious. It's a big watermelon, plump and round. It's sandy and sweet after a bite. It's refreshing and thirst-quenching and delicious. It's still delicious after eating it."

It can nourish the lungs. Men will become rich after eating it, and women will be beautiful after eating it. Eat more melons when the weather is hot and don't go to the hospital to get medicine. Our melons are good, and the brown sugar in the flesh is more hydrating. "

At this time, Gu Wanjun walked out from the crowd, wearing a white shirt and a hat. Not to mention, she looked pretty good at first glance, and her posture showed that she was not an ordinary person.

"Is this watermelon really as delicious as you say?"

"Comrade, this watermelon is neither sweet nor gritty and does not cost money. It is very sweet."

As he spoke, Liu Chen cut a piece with a fruit knife, put it in Gu Wanjun's hand, and said with a smile: "Comrade, you try it first. If it's not sweet, you don't need to pay."

“It doesn’t cost any money to try it, right?”

"No, no."

Gu Wanjun picked up the melon, took a few bites, and kept nodding, "Not bad, not bad, sweet."

The people nearby watched Gu Wanjun eating melon, and several of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Come on, let's all have a try. It's free of charge."

Everyone heard that there is no charge for trying it, which is great, and it’s a good thing, who sells things now and lets you taste it? The key is that this is watermelon, what a good thing. You can’t buy it in ordinary places.

It's such a good thing, even if you don't buy it, it's still good to try it.

"Yeah, sweet."

"Yeah, it's sweeter than sugar water."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Gu Wanjun immediately said: "Comrade, how do you sell this watermelon?"

This is the key point. Watermelon is delicious. If it is too expensive, everyone cannot afford it. After all, there are no watermelon sellers in the area. Even if there are, you must have a ticket.

"Eighty cents per catty, no votes."

When everyone heard that it was only 80 cents and no tickets were required, they all looked around and saw that it was not cheap at all. Pork now only costs 70 or 80 cents, which is even higher than the price of pork.

Some people began to hesitate.

Liu Chen struck while the iron was hot: "Bring the watermelon when you come. I wish you happiness and happiness. Good luck and fortune. Everyone, adults and children, loves you. Watermelons are not available every day, so take action when it's time."

Liu Chen deliberately raised the price so that everyone could have room to bargain. No matter what era, bargaining is possible.

"Comrade, this melon is good, but it's too expensive. It's cheaper, 60 cents, buy one for 60 cents."

Gu Wanjun looked at the people beside her who wanted to buy, then looked at Liu Chen and said.

"Oh, six cents is too cheap, comrade. I spent a lot of effort to get it from a far away place. It's not easy. Six cents is really not good. Seven cents, seven cents per catty."
