Chapter 284
But when she thought that Mr. Qiao's family fought so hard to eat watermelon but achieved nothing, Qiao Xuan was happy to eat two more pieces of melon.
Fortunately, fortunately, the shopkeeper Qin was not asked to help sell melons.
It's just that, I originally wanted to give two melons to the shopkeeper Qin, but now I don't dare to give them.
Le Zhengxiao brought those watermelons back, not intending to sell them, but to use them as gifts.
First, I gave 20 to Xie Jingrong, and 20 to Zhuang Zishang's parents. I kept 20 for myself, and went to a small part.
This melon is big and round, looks good, and is especially sweet and crunchy, making it the perfect gift.
Especially in this weather, giving people a few big watermelons is much better than anything else.
There are not many watermelons on the market this year. There are only a few melon farmers who can grow watermelons, and they are often reserved by large families before they are ripe.
The ones that can be sold in the market are not only in very small quantities, but also in poor quality. Some are even raw melons whose vines are dead and not yet mature.
Mrs. Qiao sent a steward to buy melons. She didn't expect that she was lucky. She saw that there were melons for sale at the market the next day, and they were relatively cheap, only five coins each.
Although the seller said that this is a tail melon, it is not big and not too sweet, but the manager thinks that this melon looks so good, the knuckles are lightly clicked, and the skin is tight, making it clear that it is a good melon. .
Such an expensive melon, even if it is not too sweet, it will definitely not be bad, so the steward unceremoniously bought ten.
Five taels of silver, just such a pile of melons, it really hurts to think about it.
You know, five taels of silver can buy hundreds of catties of rice.
But he plans to report seven taels when he goes back to pay the bill, and secretly saves twenty taels...
I bought a watermelon and some other odds and ends that Mrs. Qiao explained, and the person in charge went back early the next morning.
The watermelon that I have been longing for has finally arrived, Qiao Wei and Mrs. Qiao are very happy!
Qiao Kou and Aunt Du were waiting on the side, and they were very greedy, but they knew that it would be nice if they could taste a small piece of this kind of thing...
I don't want to, the maid broke open a melon, the flesh of the melon was pale and white, with only a faint hint of light red.
The flesh of the melon was dull and moist.
Take a bite, it is bland and tasteless, the soft and soft taste of the melon is very strange, and it is not at all sweet and crisp.
Qiao Wei vomited "bah" with a dark face, and ordered another one.
As a result... all ten melons were opened in one go, all of which looked like this.
"Ah!" Qiao Wei was furious: "What's wrong with the housekeeper? What did he buy! Is he blind? He can't even buy a watermelon!"
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted it, and I finally got it after eagerly looking forward to it, but it turned out that it was not the case at all! The kind of gap, disappointment, and anger can be imagined.
Qiao Wei has the heart to beat people!
She couldn't help but threw herself into Madam Qiao's arms and cried.
She just wants to eat a watermelon, why is it so difficult?
Madam Qiao was also furious, and ordered the housekeeper to be reprimanded severely.
The butler's face also became extremely ugly, and he pleaded guilty again and again.
How did he know that the melon farmer was so bad? Obviously they are all bad melons, but they are so expensive!
But this watermelon is different from other things. I don't know if it's good or not if I don't cut it.
He was also deceived.
Madam Qiao scolded him and ordered him to retire as soon as she was out of breath.
