Chapter 238

"Shopkeeper Qi, why are you here when you are free?" Luo Pan greeted enthusiastically.

"Little friend Luopan, if you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, I have some small things to come here today." Shopkeeper Qi said with a smile.

"It's too hot outside, let's talk inside." Compass stretched out his hand and bowed slightly to invite.

Shopkeeper Qi was not polite either, and walked towards the main room.

After the two sat down, Liu Ye'er served a cup of hot tea to shopkeeper Qi.

"Shopkeeper Qi, please use tea." Compass nodded slightly.

"Young Compass, you're being polite." Shopkeeper Qi picked up the teacup and blew on it, took a sip politely, and put it on the table again.

"I don't know what shopkeeper Qi is talking about?" Luo Pan asked.

"Little friend Luopan, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other, and I don't hide it. I heard that your family has watermelons from Fanbang. The boss asked me to come and talk." Shopkeeper Qi went straight to the point.

"Shopkeeper Qi is really well informed. You came here before we started selling." Compass complimented.

After finishing speaking, he said to Liu Ye'er: "Ye'er, since shopkeeper Qi knows, let's not be too stingy, and give shopkeeper Qi a few pieces of watermelon to taste, just to relieve the heat and cool off."

"Okay!" Liu Ye'er responded, turned around and left the main room.

She came to the kitchen, took out the watermelon in the bucket, cut a few pieces and took it to the main room.

Since the watermelon has matured, they eat one almost every day. Anyway, the cost of growing it at home is not very high, so it doesn't hurt.

"Come on, shopkeeper Qi, this is Fanbang's watermelon, you can try it quickly." Luo Pan stood up, picked up a piece and handed it over.

Shopkeeper Qi reached out to take it, but didn't say anything directly, but looked at it carefully.

"Shopkeeper Qi, hurry up and eat it. It tastes the best just now, but it won't taste good after a while." Compass urged.

After all, Compass also picked up a piece and ate it with big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, shopkeeper Qi followed his example and bit down.

After one bite, I feel very refreshed, and the irritability brought about by the summer heat is swept away.

Shopkeeper Qi stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up, and praised: "The fruit of Fanbang is really good, and it has a different taste."

"Eat as much as you like, and I'll get it for you if you don't have enough." Compass laughed.

After a while, the watermelon in Shopkeeper Qi's hand was finished, and he was not embarrassed to eat the watermelon rind after the compass informed him in advance.

"Little friend Luopan, can you show me where you grow watermelons?" Shopkeeper Qi took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands and mouth.

"Does shopkeeper Qi stop eating one piece?" Luopan asked.

"No, thank you for your kindness, one piece is enough." Shopkeeper Qi waved his hand.

"The watermelon is in the garden behind the house. I'll take all the shopkeeper there." Compass also wiped his hands, stood up and walked out.

back garden.

"Shopkeeper Qi, please look, this is the ripe watermelon we planted." Compass pointed to the watermelon on the ground and introduced.

Although he ate just now, it was the first time he had seen the whole shopkeeper Qi. He squatted down and looked curiously.

After a while, he stood up, looked up at the watermelon seedlings on the two ridges, and roughly counted them.

"Little friend Luopan, how many catties does your watermelon weigh?" Shopkeeper Qi asked.

"Each one is more than ten catties, and the smallest one will not be less than ten catties." Compass replied.

Hearing this, shopkeeper Qi pondered for a moment, silently calculated in his heart, and said, "I don't buy by the catty, no matter the size, I will give you a tael of silver for each."

"It's still the old rule. I'll pay the deposit first. Let's sign a contract. Except for what you eat, you are not allowed to sell it to others."

"One or two?"

Liu Ye'er on the side exclaimed, and then quickly covered her mouth, her eyes widened, with an unbelievable expression on her face.

Does she know the cost of this thing, that is, it cost some money to buy the seeds, and not much, and the rest is just a waste of effort.

One tael, these more than 100 are more than 100 taels, and only a fraction of the land is used. This is not a watermelon, it is obviously a silver.

Compass was also overjoyed, and rubbed his hands subconsciously.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Shopkeeper Qi showed a satisfied expression.

After receiving the secret report yesterday, he quickly inquired about it, and then reported it to Mr. Wang this morning.

Hearing the news, Mr. Wang was very happy, praised him a few words, and told him to buy it back at the same price as the crayfish.

"Shopkeeper Qi..."

Luo Pan was about to agree, but when he glanced at the shopkeeper Qi's expression from the corner of his eye, he suddenly became agitated, stopped speaking, and cursed himself for being stupid, and made the mistake of selling crayfish again.

Since they had already guessed that the boss behind the scenes of Boss Zhou wanted to buy watermelons, why not wait a little longer.

Let them compete with each other and raise the price a little bit, so that they can earn more.

After thinking about it, Luo Pan suddenly changed his voice, and said in a somewhat embarrassed way: "Shopkeeper Qi, it is said that one tael of silver is not a lot, I should be content."

"But this watermelon is a rare item. No one has ever sold it. If it is expensive, you will suffer. I don't want to sell it cheap. Can you let me think about it?"

"Huh?" Shopkeeper Qi was taken aback. He was about to agree to it just now, so why did he suddenly change his mind.

After so many years of working in the mall, he is also a shrewd person, and he immediately figured out the reason.

He glanced at Compass meaningfully, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, since little friend Luopan said so, I'll wait. If you think about it, come to Fumanlou to find me."

Shopkeeper Qi knew that he couldn't be too active now, or else he would be passive if people could see his cards clearly.

"Okay, no problem, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news." Compass smiled.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, shopkeeper Qi said goodbye and left.

……

After dinner, the four of them sat in the yard to enjoy the shade, and Luopan told the story of shopkeeper Qi today.

"Third brother, you are right." Fat Miao'er said affirmatively.

She had finished looking for Li Hongzao and was not at home. She didn't come back until dinner.

"I just want to see how much Uncle Zhou can pay, compare it, and don't want to sell at a loss." Luopan explained.

"Abacus, you've made progress." Wei Shu took a look and praised.

"You didn't see that I was so excited at the time, my heart was almost in my throat, but my third brother was still calmly discussing with shopkeeper Qi, it's really amazing." Liu Ye'er said softly.

"It's nothing, I learned it from my master recently." Compass scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Third brother, you will definitely become a big businessman in the future, come on!" Fat Miao'er waved her small fist.

"I think so too." Compass said stinky.

In a word, the three of them laughed, and Fat Miao'er even spit out the watermelon from his mouth.

Seeing this, Liu Ye'er quickly took out her handkerchief, gently wiped her mouth, and said with concern: "Be careful, don't choke."
