Chapter 117 Selling Melons (2)(1/2)

There was no one around, but Gu Wanjun and Mao Zi "Removal" came with melons in their arms. They were pretty good at taking care of themselves.

The three of them drove the carriage to meet Ergou and the others.

Ergou and Wang Xiong's "records" in the morning were also pretty good. Wang Xiong learned quickly from the master Liu Chen. A box of mosquito coils and a box of insecticide were all sold out.

Liu Chen thought to himself, if this Wang Xiong were in later generations, he would be a businessman. He didn't know a few Chinese characters, he could memorize the rhymes twice, and he could make up a few more paragraphs, which was really good.

Scar and his brothers sold eight pairs of couples watches in the morning, men's watches for nine yuan and women's watches for four yuan, which is not bad.

Everyone gave all the money to Liu Chen and continued in the afternoon.

"Thank you for your hard work, let's go and treat everyone to a meal."

With more people and greater strength, we sold thousands of dollars in one morning, which was really a lot.

Several people quickly arrived at the door of the state-owned hotel.

This state-owned hotel is larger and better decorated than the state-owned hotel in the county town.

There were already several tables seated inside, and a few people went in, found seats, and sat down.

On the wall is written "Develop the economy and ensure supply."

There is also a small blackboard on the wall, which reads: Today's supply: Scrambled eggs, 1 dime, mutton stir-fry, 1 dime, 6 cents vegetarian fried shredded potatoes, 5 cents, pork, stir-fried cabbage, 1 dime, 5 cents, braised pork, 20 cents, etc. Staple steamed buns, 5 cents, 1 wowotou 1

Divide a noodle into a dime and a pound, etc.

"Everyone can order whatever they want to eat."

Especially Ergou, who was so excited that he ran to the counter and ordered all the meat and dishes. As soon as Ergou finished ordering, Scar's brother Fatty went to order another three kilograms of meat dumplings, and Shorty took two more bottles of wine.

"Pa" Scar slapped the dwarf's head with his hand, "Why did you get the bottled wine? Why didn't you break up the wine?"

"It's okay. You can eat whatever you want. Today you can eat with all your heart. You can eat whatever you want, but don't drink too much. You have to do errands in the afternoon."

With these words, the fat man ordered two more meat dishes.

The tables next to them all looked here, wondering, what on earth do these people do? They actually ordered so many meat dishes. Look at these people, only Liu Chen and Gu Wanjun look good-looking, and the others don't look like them.

Good people.

A few people at a table can order only one or two dishes, which is enough. The most they can do is two meat dishes and a soup. My goodness, one table for these people is worth several tables.

Several people put all the food on the table, picked up the kuaizi, and started eating.

The sounds of sucking, smashing mouths, and clinking glasses are endless.

People at other tables looked over here with envy in their eyes.

More than an hour later, everyone was touching their bulging bellies. The fat ones were still burping. They were too full after eating.

"It would be great if I could eat this good every time." The fat man said, touching his bulging belly.

"What are you thinking about? Do you know how much this is? This meal costs several dollars. How can we have so much money?"

Yes, this meal cost six yuan, and I had to pay so much for two tickets and wine tickets. I only had three plates of braised pork. The plates of this era are different from those of later generations. This is a full plate.

It's a big plate, and the portion is quite generous.

There were also dumplings. I asked for three kilograms at first, which was not enough to eat, but then I asked for two more kilograms. I only took three bottles of bottled wine. If I didn't have to "fight" in the afternoon, this probably wouldn't be enough.

Liu Chen thought to himself, it had been a long time since he had eaten meat, and everyone was so greedy. Especially the fat man. As the saying goes, every fat man is a foodie. This is true, all this fatness comes from eating.

After having enough water and food, everyone divided their labors to "fight".

Scar and his brothers continued to sell watches, while Wang Xiong and Ergou went to sell mosquito coils and insect killers.

The remaining Liu Chen, Gu Wanjun and Mao Zi went on to sell watermelons. They sold more than half of the cart in the morning, and half of the cart was sold out.

Mao Zi took Liu Chen to the gate of the steelmaking plant. He held half a watermelon and handed it to the security guard. He also handed a piece of watermelon to the security guard. The security guard nodded with a smile.

Now is the break time in the factory, and everyone is out doing some activities.

Mao Zi is very familiar with this area, and he knows that the wages of employees in this factory are quite good, ranging from more than ten to more than thirty.

Mao Zi saw a man wearing glasses and work clothes coming out. He stepped forward, pulled him over, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, there are good things, there are good things."

"Oh, I really don't want to buy the watch I just bought last time. I have no money." The man thought Maozi was asking him to buy a watch again, so he quickly waved his hand and said he wouldn't buy it.

"This time it's not a watch, this time it's good, cheap and affordable."

He was dragged hard by Mao Zi and walked to the side of the carriage.

The man was also surprised when he saw the big watermelon. This kind of watermelon is rare. He had eaten it before when he was on a business trip with his boss. The taste is still fresh in his memory. Thinking about it now, his mouth is watering.

"Look at this watermelon. It's big and sweet. Come and try it."

Mao Zi said, taking a small piece of watermelon cut by Liu Chen and putting it in Brother Wang's mouth. Brother Wang took a bite and the sweetness of the watermelon filled his entire mouth. Not to mention the taste, it was so sweet.

"Hmm, delicious and sweet."

"It's delicious. How about one?"

Maozi picked the largest watermelon and placed it directly in Brother Wang's hand.

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"Brother Wang, how long have we known each other? If I sell someone else 80 cents, I'll give you 60 cents."

Brother Wang was holding the watermelon. He weighed the watermelon in his hands and estimated it weighed about nine pounds. This watermelon costs more than five yuan, which is not cheap. Although his monthly salary is more than thirty, the expenses at home are also

very big.

"Brother Wang, don't let your brothers look down on you. What's a watermelon?"

"purchase."

Liu Chen took out the name of the uncle who sold dried bamboo shoots in the morning and said that he was borrowing it first. The uncle would come to sell dried bamboo shoots tomorrow and then return it to him.

Once weighed, don’t mention it, it’s really nine catties and one tael. Forget one tael, make up the whole, nine catties.

He took five yuan and forty cents and gave it to Maozi, then left with the watermelon in his arms.

Some people saw Brother Wang holding a big watermelon and asked him where he got it. After Brother Wang told him, everyone came to buy it.

Not to mention, even Liu Chen didn't expect that so many people would come at once.

Mao Zi helped pick the melons, and Liu Chen became famous for his help. After a while, dozens of melons were sold.

I haven't seen Gu Wanjun for a long time, and I don't know where the girl went. She disappeared even when she was busy.

Liu Chen was still a little worried. Could it be that he ran away to play and could not be found?

At this time, Liu Chen was not worried that Gu Wanjun would be trafficked. In this era, there were very few women and children being trafficked, and everyone did not have enough to eat. One more person meant more rations.

After a while, Gu Wanjun brought over a dozen lesbians.

"Everyone, come quickly, let's go together. I just saw melons selling there, and they even gave me free tastes. They can also sell them in half, and we can all buy them together."

Only then did Liu Chen realize that this girl had not escaped, but had gone to "get someone's head". Her acting skills were good, and if it were left to future generations, then he would probably be the winner of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award.

"Yeah, let's buy it together."

"Comrade, how do you sell this watermelon?" Gu Wanjun asked deliberately.

"Hello, comrade, eight cents per catty."

"Hey comrade, it's cheaper, six cents."

Just as Gu Wanjun finished speaking, a group of girls behind said, "Yes, comrade, six cents, six cents, we will buy them all."

"Dear lesbians, six cents is really not good, six cents, six cents is a loss of money."

"Sixty cents, sixty cents, we've all bought it. If you don't want it, forget it. Let's go." After Gu Wanjun finished speaking, he started to pull a group of women away.

"Okay, six cents is six cents."

A dozen girls picked eight melons. After Liu Chen weighed them all, Gu Wanjun paid the money, and Gu Wanjun asked Liu Chen to cut each melon into two. One girl held half a melon and left talking and laughing.

Already.

Liu Chen also admired him. When did Gu Wanjun know these people? He was so good at kung fu. Not to mention, he was quite familiar with these people and pretended to look like them.

The sales here were almost done. After a while, Gu Wanjun took off his hat, glasses, changed clothes, and came back again.

"Awesome, this transformation is so fast."

"Let's go, the sales here are almost over, let's move to another place."

The three people came to the door of the textile factory again.

As usual, Maozi took another half of a watermelon and gave it to the security guard. The security guard smiled and took the melon.

Mao Zi imitated Liu Chen's method in the morning and started shouting.

"Big and round watermelons, I sell watermelons."

"Come on, there's a watermelon seller over there, go take a look."

The three women held hands and walked to Maozi's melon cart.

"Try it, the big and sweet watermelon is very delicious."

"No, don't taste it."
