Chapter 284: Waterlons
Translator:?Henyee Translations??Editor:?Henyee Translations
Hearing that Officer Qiao’s family made so many efforts just to eat waterlons but obtained nothing in the end, Qiao Xuan ate two more slices purely out of delight.
Luckily, they did not let Manager Qin help them with selling waterlons.
Also, they dropped the idea of giving two waterlons to Manager Qin.
Yuezheng Xiao took the waterlons ho but did not plan to sell them. Instead, he was going to give them away as presents.
He gave Xie Jingrong twenty waterlons, 20 to his parents and kept 20 for himself. By this point, half the amount was gone.
The waterlons were large and round, looking beautiful and tasting sweet. They were most suitable as presents.
Especially in this weather, nothing was better than a few large waterlons.
There were many waterlons in the market, and those fixed farrs already got their waterlons booked before they turned ripe.
Therefore, those that could co to the market were not only quite limited in number but also unripe.
Mada Qjao sent her housekeeper to buy the waterlon and luckily, he ran into so cheap ones in the market the following day.
Although the housekeeper said that it was just one of the leftovers and not very sweet, yet the housekeeper believed that the waterlons looked really good and sounded quite crispy from outside, thus buying them as good waterlons.
The expensive waterlons would not be too sweet but surely would not be bad. The housekeeper bought ten altogether.
Five liang for one pile of waterlons. That was very costly.
Five liang could buy hundreds of kgs of rice.
But he decided to tell his master that it cost seven liang so he could save two liang for himself.
Once waterlons as well as other things were bought, the housekeeper went back ho early the next day.
Mada Qjao and Qjao Wei got so happy when the waterlons arrived that they started to drool.
Qiao Kou and Concubine Du were serving them and feeling greedy inwardly. They knew that even one slice would be quite satisfying for them.
However, when the maid broke open a waterlon, it looked really white with just a touch of redness.
Worse, the skin was not at all fresh.
After a bite, one realized that it had no taste, and the soft texture did not taste sweet or fresh at all.
Qiao Wei spat and had one more cut up.
But all the ten waterlons were the sa!
“Ah!” Qjao Wei snapped. “What rubbish did the housekeeper buy? Is he blind? He cant even buy one correct one!’
The more they wanted sothing, the less likely they were able to get it. That caused a huge disappointnt and the anger arose involuntarily.
Qjao Wei could not help but want to hit soone.
She threw herself in Mada Qjao’s arms and cried.
What she wanted was to just eat one waterlon. How could that be so difficult?
Mada Qjao got so annoyed that she scolded the housekeeper.
The housekeeper’s face turned. He begged for forgiveness continuously.
He had not foreseen this! How could the farr sell the rotten waterlons at such a high price?
And the waterlons could not prove bad unless broken open.
He was cheated too!
Mada Qjao scolded him and ordered him to back off..
