68 The Villagers’ Discussion
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the weather was still hot!
The farrs could go out and work at this ti.
All the lon farrs in Stoneback Village were looking forward to it and waiting in the lon field.
They all hoped that their waterlons could really be sold for a good price.
At least a higher price than 35 cents!
“It’s so late. Don’t tell the boss who bought the waterlons isn’t coming?”
“I don’t think so!” Shi Bangliang said confidently. “I heard that Shi Lichun’s niece is a businesswoman. A businessman needs to be honest!”
“But the problem is that she’s not buying the waterlons. She’s saying that her friend is buying them!”
“If she said that, it ans she believes in her friend.”
“What if that waterlon boss doesn’t want our waterlons?” A waterlon farr said worriedly, “We just offended Boss Liu not long ago.”
As soon as he said this, the villagers with waterlons at ho were imdiately worried.
This worry imdiately made them a little short-tempered.
“What can we do? We’ll definitely sell it to Shi Lichun. Who asked his niece to promise others randomly?”
“Shi Zuoliang, you have to speak with your conscience!” Soone imdiately retorted. “She said that as long as your waterlons are delicious, she will definitely accept them. It’s normal for them to look down on the crooked waterlons in your fields.”
Shi Zuoliang straightened his neck and retorted, “Who said that my waterlons are crooked? They’re clearly so good-looking and delicious. Hmph, how much does Shi Lichun’s waterlon sell for? My waterlon will definitely sell for that much money.”
“Hehe, it’s not even dark yet, but people are already dreaming!” A villager imdiately mocked.
“The waterlons of Shi Lichun’s three brothers are carefully cultivated. They don’t use pesticides. When insects co, they catch them manually.”
“Without artificial fertilizers, all that was poured into the soil was fernted farm fertilizer and the dregs of squeezed peanuts. Therefore, their waterlons are good-looking and delicious.
Look at your family again. You only cultivate such waterlons. You didn’t spend much on this farm fertilizer, let alone the expensive peanut dregs. It’s already not bad that your family’s fields can produce waterlons, but you still want to sell them for a high price. Are you sure you are looking for a buyer? You’re looking for a sucker.”
“That’s right. Isn’t it normal for the boss not to want those waterlons in your field? Do you still want to cause trouble at Shi Lichun’s house? How are you going to cause trouble? Get soone to compensate you with waterlons?” Soone asked with a smile.
Shi Zuoliang blushed at these villagers’ words.
He said indignantly, “Hmph, she clearly said that she would bring that friend over to take a look in the afternoon. Look, what ti is it? There’s still no sign of her. If we wait any longer, it’ll be dark. What are you going to do with the waterlons you plucked?”
If the waterlons were placed in the ground, they would definitely be stolen if no one was guarding them.
“Your family only has a few waterlons. Why are you in a hurry? I have tens of thousands of catties of waterlons in my field, and I’m almost halfway through plucking them. Yet I’m not in a hurry. If you’re in a hurry, why didn’t you sell the waterlons to Boss Liu when he was here in the morning?”
Soone imdiately laughed and said, “Not to ntion 35 cents, even if it’s 1.5 cents, I wonder if Boss Liu will want it.”
Shi Zuoliang said to himself, “What’s wrong with my waterlons? My waterlons are delicious. Why wouldn’t anyone want them?”
“Yes, your waterlons are delicious. You only have two plots of land and dozens of waterlons. You can choose to sell them in town or in the county. You can sell them for sixty to seventy cents a catty. If you sell them all, you can earn a few hundred dollars. If you sell them to the waterlon vendor, you will lose a lot of money.”
“That’s right, Shi Zuoliang. Your family only has a few waterlons. Why are you joining in the fun? Pick them to sell in town or county. How many are there? If you sell twenty a day, you can sell them all in ten days. You can even make a lot of money. This only costs a portion of the labor fees.”
“I… I’m not going to. I’m so tired!” Shi Zuoliang was stubborn.
He also knew very well that his waterlons were not easy to sell.
Only by mixing with the waterlons of the farrs in the village could he sell them.
“Ah, isn’t that Shi Lichun’s niece? She seems to be coming this way.”
“Coming, coming. There are a few people behind her we don’t know. Is that the waterlon boss?”
Soone asked.
“Isn’t that obvious? Shi Lichun’s family accompanied this niece and those people. That must be the boss who ca to buy waterlons. Otherwise, why would they co here?”
“But why are they carrying two boxes?”
“It’s not cash, is it?” soone said in surprise.
“It could be cash.”
“I think a box might not contain cash.”
Even if all the waterlons in Stoneback Village were bought, how much cash would that require? Did they have to use such a big box to store them? And there were two of them.
While the villagers were discussing, Gu Qingming and the others arrived at the place where the lon farrs were gathered.
Soone shouted excitedly, “Niece, are the two people behind you the bosses who buy waterlons?”
They were wearing smart suits and glasses. They looked refined and bossy.
They completely ignored the conspicuous girl in a red dress beside Gu Qingming.
Gao Wenwen was speechless
She did not expect to be ignored by a group of farrs. Well, this feeling was quite strange.
Gu Qingming smiled and shook her head.
Shi Lichun pointed at Gao Wenwen and said, “This is the boss who wants to buy the waterlons!”
“Huh?!” The villagers were slightly surprised.
In their impression, weren’t those big bosses in their thirties or forties?
This female boss looked like she was twenty years old. Wasn’t she too young?
Gao Wenwen changed from her playful and cute attitude in front of Gu Qingming to a serious attitude.
She looked up and around. Her eyes flashed at the waterlons in the fields.
She smiled and said, “Bosses, before buying waterlons, I need to use an instrunt to test the quality of your waterlons. The higher the quality, the higher the price I offer.
Of course, if the quality isn’t good, I’m afraid I can only buy it at a normal price as an ordinary waterlon. Well, what’s the normal price? I think it’s 80 cents.”
“Ah, is there a test for buying waterlons?”
Soone imdiately exclaid in surprise.
“I’ve never heard of a waterlon being tested.”
Soone imdiately said uncomfortably, “What test? We won’t poison the waterlons.”
“That’s right. If you want to collect waterlons, so be it. Why are you doing a test? Are you bullying us?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? The girl said that they just wanted to test the quality of the waterlon before giving a price. Didn’t you hear that the normal price she’s giving is 80 cents? So, why do you care if they asure the waterlons?”
… .
For a mont, both the lon farrs and the villagers were talking.
