After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

◎Finally a lot of watermelons were sold, and the business improved. ◎

The man didn't dislike it either, and left with the watermelon in his hands, he was in a hurry, he was in a hurry to go home.

There are also people in twos and threes in the crowd who bought a catty to try out the early adopters, and they will buy more if they don’t have a lot of money.

Gu Zeyu sold almost one melon in total.

The record is not very good, he gave a wry smile, and then went to the next stall to exchange two benches with watermelons. Today, you can't stand all the time when setting up a stall, you should just sit and wait for the guests to come.

He put down the bench, and let Brother Cheng sit on one, but he didn't sit down, he was still watching the street, when someone came over curiously, he introduced the watermelon.

Brother Cheng watched Gu Zeyu busy in front, and frowned: "Brother Gu, is it because our price is too expensive, so we didn't buy it? Watermelon is so delicious, as long as people taste it, they will like it."

Gu Zeyu looked at the scattered watermelons and smiled heartily, "It's just that the market hasn't been opened. After a few days, the situation will be different."

Brother Cheng turned his head around, then stood up from the stool, and said energetically: "Then we can't slack off, there are so many mu of watermelons waiting to be sold at home, we can't spoil the field, I won't sit anymore, Brother Gu, why don't we try selling it?"

He looked up and asked, "What do you think?"

Gu Zeyu saw that some of the people in the nearby stalls were selling their own things, while others were silently waiting for others to buy them.

Brother Cheng is right, waiting for guests to come like this is not an option.

The smell of wine is still afraid of deep alleys.

Look at the sound of others hawking.

Big buns, steaming meat buns, thin skin and lots of stuffing are cheap, everyone come and see!

The wild products just dug out from the mountains are very fresh, and they are the best for cooking soup.

The free-range hens at home are fed with grain, they are fat and big, and the stewed soup is very nourishing. Come and have a look, take a look!

Gu Zeyu turned his head and looked around, and saw that most of the sellers were old men and women, and all of them were well-introduced verbally, so that people would know what they were selling, and the effect was good, and some people really went away after hearing the news.

They all sell well.

He took a deep breath, this selling shouldn't be difficult, isn't it more difficult than going into battle to kill the enemy?

Brother Cheng also has a tacit understanding with his own man. With his fists, he pointed to the people in the nearby stalls and said, "Brother Gu, let's try to sell it to attract the attention of passers-by. Otherwise, how can we sell watermelons? Let's pull them today!" It’s too embarrassing to bring them home after so many come here.”

He was quite confident, and he raised his fist to cheer for them, "I believe we can sell a lot of watermelons, and we can't just sell one."

As he spoke, he stared at Gu Zeyu eagerly, wanting to hear his thoughts.

Gu Zeyu coughed, his wheat-colored cheeks flushed slightly, thinking that although he knew a little about [-] martial arts, he really couldn't do this kind of selling.

How can you speak? He is a tall man standing in front of the booth, silently looking at a few round watermelons, thinking of what to say, and nodding vigorously on his face, in line with Brother Cheng, "You are right, we have to Let’s sell it, there are still many people who have never seen a watermelon.”

Brother Cheng saw that the man was wandering off, and his face was a little embarrassed, so he couldn't help laughing, revealing two dimples from laughing, his voice was clear, and he stopped the matter on his own head.

"Brother Gu, let me try selling it later. I have experience. I have come to the town to buy mountain products and some chickens and ducks raised at home."

As he spoke, he increased his voice a lot, and yelled: "Look, take a look, the fruit from the border town is very delicious, it's called watermelon, it's fragrant and sweet, and it's refreshing to eat in summer. "

He also changed the wording, "This watermelon is the only one in our town. The nobles in the capital like to eat it. Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again. Today is the first day of sale. The price is the cheapest. If you don't buy it again, try it." , the price will increase after a while.”

Not to mention, the voice of the little brother is so clear that it really attracts some people.

Gu Zeyu came back to his senses, looked at the smiling eyes of Brother Cheng, hurriedly yelled a few times, then went to the wooden board to cut open the watermelon, and took a few small pieces for the newcomer to taste.

"Come on, everyone, try it. This watermelon is sweet and juicy. It's different from ordinary fruits. The key is that it's also large. One person can eat half of the watermelon without having to eat."

Everyone has seen the freshness for a long time, but still asked about the origin of this watermelon, "Your watermelon is really as you said, delicious and rare? Do the nobles in the capital like to eat it?"

Gu Zeyu looked serious, and looked very imposing, "Of course, we don't dare to lie, business is all about word of mouth and integrity, otherwise we will become famous, how can we sell this watermelon."

The person who came up this time was a middle-aged man who seemed to be a shrewd person. He was wearing a good-quality robe, and his face was carefully groomed with a mustache. He looked like someone's housekeeper. A person who is in charge.

Gu Zeyu focused on him and answered his questions carefully.

Unexpectedly, this middle-aged man is a man of knowledge, and he was lucky to have seen this watermelon.

So I also know that watermelons are quite expensive and hard to get. After all, there are only so many of them. I didn’t expect to see them in such a small town. I was still surprised. He picked it up and tasted a piece, and then stopped. nodding.

"Where did you get so many watermelons? It's impossible to pull them from the border town, it's too far away."

Gu Zeyu explained neither humble nor overbearing, "I asked someone to bring the seeds from the border town, and then planted them in my own land?"

The man was even more surprised, and his brows frowned, "It was planted, I remember that this watermelon was planted in sandy land, only the border town has such land, how can we grow watermelons in the yellow land here?" ?”

Gu Zeyu said: "Maybe you haven't seen it before, but it doesn't mean it can't be planted on yellow soil. Watermelons grow quite well, with sandy flesh, fragrant and sweet, and they grow big. A watermelon weighs seven or eight catties."

While they were talking, some people who liked watermelon were already buying watermelon. Brother Cheng greeted him there, and cut the watermelon with a knife, and then weighed it. When cutting watermelon, be careful not to cut too much or too little, otherwise it will be difficult to grasp when weighing.

After all, they are sold in pieces.

Brother Cheng has already sold three copies. Some bought half a watermelon directly, and some bought a few catties of watermelon to try it out. Brother Cheng treats everyone equally, and there is no shortage of catties or taels. If you buy more, you will get a fraction of it. to erase.

With a smile, he looked extraordinarily gentle. He stood tall and slim, with a good posture. He looked like a little brother with a good family education. He was very popular, and there were guests chatting with him.

Find out who he is.

Brother Cheng answered one by one: "He's from Liujia Village, he's married, and that's my man over there."

He wasn't shy at all, and easily said that this was my man.

"Oh, then your man looks tall and fierce, does he treat you well?"

Brother Cheng's eyebrows are curved, his eyes are full of light, shining brightly, he said with a smile: "On the surface, he seems to be not easy to mess with, but in fact he is not fierce at all, and treats me very well."

"Then you are quite a match. Both of you are good-looking, the man is handsome and strong, and the elder brother is handsome and capable."

Brother Cheng responded in a low voice: "Yeah." Then he silently weighed a few more taels of watermelon for the guests who praised him and Gu Zeyu as a good match.

After handing over the watermelon with leaves, Brother Cheng was done.

There were also a few customers gathered around the booth, but they just chatted a few gossips, and then took a bite to try.

There is no more to buy.

Gu Zeyu next to him chatted speculatively with the middle-aged man who looked like the manager. The manager admired people like Gu Zeyu very much. He had an innovative spirit and dared to do it boldly. Planting watermelons required a lot of investment in the early stage.

Finally, the steward turned around and said, "How do you sell this watermelon, and how much is it per catty?"

He expected that it would not be very expensive, so he planned to buy more, presumably the young masters and wives in the mansion would like to eat it.

Sure enough, Gu Zeyu said: "I am also a real person, and I will not intentionally raise the price. Eight cents a catty, this price is considered affordable."

The steward was overjoyed. He had seen the owner buy it before, and it took only one tael of silver to buy a watermelon, which cost tens of hundreds of coins a catty. It was not too expensive at that time, and everyone was very proud of eating this fresh food.

He decisively started, "Give me ten watermelons, do you guys deliver?"

Gu Zeyu smiled apologetically: "Today is the first sale, and we don't have delivery service yet."

The steward said: "Then you say hello to me first, and I will call for work to move in a while."

Gu Zeyu thought to himself, this is a big order, so he had a good attitude, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I will weigh watermelon for you, and calculate how much it is in total."

Gu Zeyu greeted Brother Cheng and the two went to the bullock cart together, and then moved ten watermelons outside. Because the scales were small, at most two of them were weighed together, and it took five sessions before the scale was finished.

Brother Cheng watched the man operate, took out the paper and charcoal pen, and wrote down the amount of each weighing, and then added the results of the five times, and finally calculated how much money ten watermelons are worth.

"A total of 650 texts."

"Okay, I'll pay first, and two guys in green clothes will come to pick it up later." He took out his money bag as he spoke, and then the one and a half taels of silver and more than 100 copper coins came out.

Gu Zeyu weighed the broken silver in his hand to know how heavy it was, but he simply weighed it, and it was more than half a tael, and then he took the copper coins. This middle-aged manager is strangely experienced.

The money given is not too much, anyway, there is no need to look for it.

After the middle-aged man left, there was a sound of sighing.

"That man is really arrogant. He bought so many watermelons at once. I also like to eat this watermelon. However, it is too expensive. I can only buy one or two catties."

"I know him. He is the steward of Boss Chen's family who owns a restaurant in the town. People in the business field usually give him a little favor when they see him."

"Then I'll grit my teeth and buy some to try. This stuff is still affordable."

His generous spending stimulated consumption, and Brother Cheng was happily busy, cutting and weighing watermelons, which made Gu Zeyu free.

Gu Zeyu looked gently at the little brother who was very busy, his hands and feet were busy but not chaotic, everything was in order.

Take a penny and do a job.

Such a brother Cheng radiates light and is very dazzling.

Gu Zeyu went to the bullock cart and picked up two sacks on the cart, then put ten watermelons in it, and five watermelons in one sack, so that there was still room for others to carry or carry them.

It is too full to move.

Tie up the two sacks and lay them down at your feet.

Gu Zeyu went to Brother Cheng to help. I don't know if it was because there were too many people in front of the booth, so many people came to join in the fun. This time, a dozen or so people bought it.

Most of the people who tried watermelon also praised it, and didn't say anything bad.

Everyone said it was delicious.

Brother Cheng felt that there was an extra man by his side, so he said, "Are you done with your work? You go over there and cut up two more watermelons and put them for sale. It's also good to teach others to have a choice."

Gu Zeyu smiled and said yes, then turned around and picked up two big watermelons, both of which were big ones, and one of them weighed □□jin.

The two cooperated and sold another wave of watermelons.

This time, the reputation of watermelon has spread. People who bought watermelon and tasted watermelon spread word of mouth. Everyone knows that there is a couple of watermelon sellers in this market. The watermelon they sell is sweet and delicious. , Juice is also much.

The entrance is soft and refreshing, and some are still a little crunchy, which can be eaten by the elderly and children.

It's the only thing in this town, and if you haven't tried it, you're out of date.

So after Gu Zeyu and Brother Cheng received a few more customers, they were about to sit down and rest for a while, and they talked for a while.

But before they sat down, another guest came.

The customers who came back here were relatively big-spending customers, at least buying half a piece of watermelon. Many people directly bought a whole watermelon to take home for convenience.

I picked a small one to buy, and a watermelon was only five or six catties, less than fifty yuan. There are quite a lot of rich families in the town, and the ones coming here at this moment are those with better economic conditions.

There was also a young man with a child who came over and asked for a watermelon, and carefully fed his own child the watermelon to try. Because he wanted to accommodate the little child, he squatted there for a long time, his eyes full of tenderness.

Brother Cheng liked this pair of gentle brother and his child very much, so he couldn't help but chat with him a few more words, and asked how old is the child?

After they left, Gu Zeyu approached Brother Cheng with a smile, and said, "Brother Cheng, do you want a baby? We can start preparing after we have been busy for a while, and I am also looking forward to our child."

Brother Cheng hammered his shoulder with a small fist, stared at the man, blushed, he was not ashamed to say anything about wanting a child in public.

His voice was as low as squeezed out from between his teeth, "Brother Gu, we'll talk about this topic when we get home. Others will be watching."

Gu Zeyu didn't say anything, he took Brother Cheng's little hand furtively, then let go quickly, and said with a smile: "Okay, go home, let's talk about it, what's the safest thing to do when we go back to the room. Fortunately, I said it at night, in the dead of night, no one can hear me."

Seeing his teasing words, Brother Cheng couldn't bear it, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Stop talking, go and see the booth, I'll go and rest for a while, you are not allowed to come over."

Gu Zeyu said with a smile, "Okay."

Then he moved the bench to the front of the booth, looking serious.

The author says:

I am very happy to see that after the update was resumed yesterday, there are still people watching it for the first time.
