Chapter 54: Evil rchant Boss Liu
Boss Liu brought two large trucks into Stoneback Village.
No matter what, he had to collect 30,000 catties of waterlon from Stoneback Village today. Otherwise, he would have made a wasted trip.
Actually, the main reason was naturally to take a gamble in a fit of pique. He purely wanted to fill in the gaps left by Shi Lichun and his brothers.
Weren’t the Shi brothers unwilling to sell him waterlons? Hmph, he still received so many waterlons.
It wasn’t that he had to have their waterlons.
When they arrived at Stoneback Village, he t Shi Xianlin and said to him, “I want to go to your fields to take a look at the waterlons first!”
Shi Xianlin, Shi Bangchun, Shi Bangming, and Shi Bangliang naturally had no objections.
They nodded in unison. “It’s only right.”
However, they could not help but feel nervous and uneasy.
They knew very well that the waterlons in their fields were really not as beautiful as the waterlons in the Shi brothers’ fields. Most importantly, the taste was not as sweet as theirs.
Boss Liu was knowledgeable. What if he was picky and didn’t want their waterlons? Could it be that they would have to let the waterlons rot?
Boss Liu was a smart person.
He glanced at their expressions and imdiately guessed what they were thinking.
In fact, he had traveled extensively all these years to buy and sell waterlons. He had seen all kinds of people and interacted with all kinds of people. He had long learned to observe people’s expressions.
The expressions of these three country bumpkins were like child’s play; their thoughts were undoubtedly exposed.
He couldn’t help but smile.
It seed that he could cut the price of their waterlons again.
No one would complain about having too much money if they could earn more.
Hmph, only that Shi Lichun and his brothers were stupid and ambitious. They thought that they were planting gold and even despised the price he offered.
Look at the market for waterlons this year. It was already a high price for a farr to be able to sell them for 45 cents.
He’ll see how the waterlons in their fields would rot in the ground. There would be a ti for them to beg.
At that ti, the price of their waterlons would definitely not be 45 cents, but 35 cents a catty.
Thinking of this, Boss Liu was in a good mood.
In any case, he felt that Shi Lichun and his brothers must beg him to sell him their waterlons. Otherwise, which big boss would want so many waterlons?
Shi Xianlin and the other four lon farrs could not help but relax when they saw the smile on Boss Liu’s face. As long as Boss Liu was in a good mood, things would be much easier.
The first place Boss Liu and the others ca to was Shi Xianlin’s waterlon field.
When they arrived at the waterlon field, Boss Liu, who was originally smiling, frowned.
Shi Xianlin’s heart skipped a beat. His heart skipped a beat.
Shi Xianlin smiled and introduced, “Boss Liu, although my waterlon is big, it’s very sweet.”
It was unknown if it was because of the variety or because they had fertilized it too much, but these waterlons were especially big. They all looked to be 20 to 30 catties.
One should not be mistaken in thinking that big waterlons were easier to sell.
Actually, that was not the case. The bigger the waterlon, the harder it was to sell.
Most of the people who bought waterlons were individuals or families. Often, such buyers could not consu large waterlons unless they were from a large family. Of course, this excluded a minority with unique preferences.
Shi Xianlin picked a waterlon in the ground, peeled open the waterlon vine leaves, and knocked on it. Hearing a clear and crisp sound, he felt that it was ripe and plucked it.
He placed the waterlon on a basket.
After cutting it open with a knife, the red waterlon juice flowed out. The red waterlon flesh looked ripe.
Shi Xianlin cut a small piece and handed it to Boss Liu. He smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Boss Liu, eat it. My waterlon is really sweet.”
His waterlon was really sweet and juicy, but it was a little big, so it was not easy to sell. Unfortunately, most people would despise it for being too big.
Boss Liu took the waterlon and tasted it. He spat out a few black waterlon seeds.
After eating a piece, he frowned and said, “Boss Shi, your waterlon is relatively sweet and delicious. However, your waterlon is too big. Even if I buy it, it won’t be easy to sell.”
Shi Xianlin imdiately said nervously, “Boss Liu, you’re knowledgeable. You’ll definitely be able to sell these waterlons. In the past, our waterlons were sold to you.”
Boss Liu smiled and said, “In the past, your waterlons weren’t this big.”
Shi Xianlin was imdiately a little anxious and nervous. He stamred, “My family only has about 6,000 catties. Boss Liu has been in the waterlon business for so many years. You will definitely be able to sell it.” His tone seed to be pleading.
He had no choice.
If Boss Liu really didn’t want his waterlons, he didn’t know if the next person to collect them would co.
Even if there was another one, he might also despise his waterlons for being big.
Glancing at Shi Xianlin’s expression, Boss Liu’s lips curled up. Then, he pretended to be in a difficult position and said, “Boss Shi, it’s really not that I don’t want to buy your waterlon. Your waterlon is too big. Even if I can buy it, it won’t be easy to sell. Aren’t you making things difficult for ?”
Although Shi Xianlin was a farr, he could tell what Boss Liu ant.
Wasn’t it just to reduce the price?
Shi Xianlin gritted his teeth and said, “How about this, Boss Liu? I’ll sell my waterlon to you for 35 cents.”
Previously, he had said 40 cents on the phone.
He had no choice. Soone had touched his sore spot.
He was not the only one who sold waterlons.
If Boss Liu wanted to buy waterlons, he had many choices.
However, he had no other choice.
This was what Boss Liu wanted.
Shi Xianlin seed to be a smart person.
In the end, Boss Liu ordered all the waterlons in his field, except the ones which were really ugly or too ripe.
The purchase price was 35 cents.
Boss Liu went to the fields of other three people to look at their waterlons.
He picked at their waterlons the sa way.
“Boss Shi, your waterlon isn’t sweet. If I collect it, I won’t be able to sell it.”
“Boss Shi, your waterlon is too small. It doesn’t look nutritious and isn’t sweet.
… .
In the end, none of the four families sold their waterlons for 40 cents per catty. Three families sold them for 35 cents, and one family sold them for 30 cents.
Regardless of the price, farrs who were busy all year round would really be relieved if their waterlons were sold.
After selling the waterlon, they had to plant the seedlings. Ti was very tight.
Boss Liu led two or three people past a waterlon field with very good waterlon vines and beautiful waterlons. He asked in confusion, “Whose waterlons are these? Have they been sold?”
A local farr beside Boss Liu said, “These are Shi Lichun’s waterlons.”
Imdiately after, Boss Liu’s face darkened.
He felt angry.
