cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 48

"Okay, old man, let the young people deal with the affairs of the young people. Xiao Lei is so old, we should let him handle some things by himself. We are all old. In the future, when our restaurant opens , let’s just let it go and don’t ask. Yesterday, Mrs. Zhang from the second building across the door said that her sister’s family has a pretty good girl. I’m going to ask her to introduce her to Xiaolei. The appointment time yesterday is coming soon. I’m going to Look, you have to discuss the watermelon with those hotel owners later, so go upstairs to have a rest at night, and when you go, take Xiaolei with you."

Sun Xiaolei's mother is not a strong woman, but she is definitely a good housewife.Therefore, she doesn't know about business affairs, and never asks.Her responsibility is to take good care of this home, and it's fine with the tired man after returning home.

After listening to her old man's nagging, Sun Xiaolei's mother realized that it was getting late. It didn't matter to the old man, her son's marriage was important.For the sake of his son, he broke his legs and broke his heart.But until now, I still can't hold my grandson because my son is not good enough.It made grandma very distressed.

Sun Xiaolei's mother left the old man in her family, dressed up and went to the appointment. Sun Xiaolei's father and Sun Xiaolei, who was resting upstairs, discussed the new varieties with the owners of several restaurants at night: the price of sweet and big watermelon. In this way, when a few people gather at night, the most expensive watermelon in the provincial capital is baked, and the price is clearly marked at the entrance of the big hotel: 50 yuan/catties.Note: retail only.

Zhang Wei naturally didn't know that his watermelon was sold at a sky-high price in the provincial capital, even if it was a sky-high price, he wouldn't be jealous. He felt that if he sold a watermelon for five yuan a catty, it was already a sky-high price.Don't be too greedy, you will be struck by lightning. This is Zhang Wei's motto.Because of greed, Zhang Wei lost his god position in the Paradise Garden in the Heavenly Court, and was demoted to the mortal world, so that it is impossible to go back to the Heavenly Court now. You know, the fight between gods and demons is not judged by years Time, but 1000 years or 1000 years are considered time.If the channel was unsealed in [-], Zhang Wei would probably be too old to move, or he would have already been classified as loess withered bones.

After lunch, the three of them picked thirteen large watermelons together, ten of which were brought back by Sun Xiaolei to try to sell. If they couldn't be sold, the price could be lowered appropriately. Anyway, they can't lose money.Let Zhang Wei soak one in the well to eat tomorrow, and let the other two Zhang Wei's family and Sun Xiaolei's family make up for the family members, and then pull fresh ones after eating.Anyway, Zhang Wei's purpose is to cut off other people's goods rather than cut off his own family's food.

After picking the watermelons and loading the vegetables, the back compartment of Sun Xiaolei's pickup truck was full. The skin of the watermelon was too thin to be transported, so Zhang Wei made some straw and put the watermelon in it. Thirteen watermelons filled most of the space. Fortunately, there is no need to pull cucumbers and tomatoes in the rear compartment today, otherwise, even if they are placed in the front cab, they may not be able to pull them all at once.

Think about it, yes, thirteen large watermelons weighing more than 40 catties weigh four to five hundred catties together.

Taking away the dozen or so watermelons was nothing compared to the hundreds of big watermelons in Zhang Weina's backyard, nor was it too conspicuous.

The melon seedlings grow too fast, and a frame in the middle can just leave a way. However, the distance of the catty road is about 20 meters; both sides are buried with bamboo poles half a meter away as pillars. It can be buried well, and it is necessary to dig a hole while turning the melon seedlings.

After seeing off Sun Xiaolei, Zhang Wei came to the backyard in the afternoon to continue his work in the morning, building a watermelon stand.Zhang Wei didn't dig many holes in one afternoon. Zhang Wei was very satisfied with the watermelon worth five yuan a catty, and was even a little surprised at the high price. However, these are the money he harvested through his own hard work. Wei was very satisfied in his heart.All afternoon, he was tossing those watermelon seedlings, trying to count how many watermelons there were. In fact, his purpose was to predict how much the nearly one acre of watermelons in the backyard could sell for.However, the big melons are easy to count, and many small melons, even those that have just begun to bloom and form small watermelons, are mostly hidden under the knee-deep melon seedlings, so he can find one from time to time after counting them.In the end, he had to give up and concentrate on digging his pillar hole.

It took Zhang Wei a day and a half to dig these pillar holes. Even so, it was not slow.Zhang Wei didn't finish digging until noon the next day, and was ready to start erecting the structure in the afternoon.

Near noon, Zhang Wei washed the machete with well water, and Zhang Wei was going to use this treasured knife handed down in his family to cut watermelon.Mr. Zhang's kitchen knife can't cut through, and the melon will explode when the kitchen knife is dropped.This knife is long enough, in fact, without Zhang Wei cleaning it, the precious knife will not be stained with dust.At noon, Zhang Wei fished the watermelon out of the well, set up the table and prepared to cut the watermelon. At this time, the sun was almost noon, and it was estimated that Mr. Zhang would arrive soon. Sure enough, Zhang Wei had just set up the table. Those who didn't show up hurriedly sat down to rest, and the sound of Zhang Wei's pickup truck engine had already sounded.

Next to Sun Xiaolei's pickup truck came a few more people, the new and old village chiefs, Mr. Zhang, and Zhang Wei's two neighbors.There was no need for Zhang Wei to greet them, everyone went directly to Zhang Wei's yard to prepare Zeng watermelon to eat.The village chief and the others didn't get to eat yesterday, so it would be strange if they didn't come today.Most of the people who came yesterday didn’t come today. The watermelon is delicious, but they sell it for money, so I’m too embarrassed to eat it every day. Uncle Zhang stopped by, right next door to Zhang Wei, so we stopped by today.

"Xiaowei, you are not authentic. A few days ago, I said that you should ask me to try it when you eat melons. You didn't call me for the first melon yesterday." When no one was seen, the village chief Zhang Yourong said loudly. The voice came over, full of blame for Zhang Wei.However, it was more about the desire to eat watermelon. The words were half-true, and no one believed that he would blame Zhang Wei. Is it an excuse to eat watermelon? That's it.

Not to mention, the village head, Zhang Yourong, often came to Zhang Wei's compound, and the two of them were very close to each other. Basically, they were like old friends. The village head admired Zhang Wei's freedom, and Zhang Wei also liked the village With Chang's straightforward personality, the two became acquainted after coming and going, and their relationship became closer and closer. For this reason, Zhang Yourong often ate the melon in Zhang Wei's backyard. It's weird, they weigh thirty to forty catties and are still growing up every day, which makes Zhang Yourong feel embarrassed to say that it tastes like picking it.

When I went to the construction site today and heard that the watermelon from Zhang Wei’s family had come down, it was not only big, but also had a sweet flesh with a fragrance. The village chief, who had long been envious of Zhang Wei’s big watermelon in his backyard, wished he could come and ask Zhang Wei to give it to him as well. Cut one and taste it.But he’s embarrassed to be alone, this watermelon is not a melon, the melon has a lot of knots and Zhang Wei didn’t say to sell it, anyway, it’s for others to eat, so it’s not too much for him to eat more, this watermelon is Zhang Wei I'm going to sell it for money, and I heard that Sun Xiaolei from the provincial capital gave it five yuan a catty for one bite, and a melon is more than 200 yuan. He can cut it, but he himself is too embarrassed to say so.

Just at noon, Sun Xiaolei came to pull vegetables, and Uncle Zhang (Sun Wei's Zhang Ye) also said that there was still one frozen in Zhang Wei's well, ready to eat at noon today.The long-awaited village head finally got the chance, so he followed, and he brought the old village head to talk to Zhang Wei about the beach improvement, but Zhang Shengli found someone to discuss with Zhang Wei about bamboo rats. For the question of how to breed, let’s eat melons together.Apart from the fact that the old village head was brought here, these guys are foodies, but being able to come to eat shows that they are close to Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei is also happy, isn't it just a piece of melon, Zhang Wei is really happy.

After all, this fragrant watermelon, let alone eat it when they grow up so big, just heard that this is the first time.Master Zhang naturally knew that Zhang Wei would not care about everyone eating their melons, so he brought everyone here with Sun Xiaolei's pickup truck.
