Reborn 1990's Fat Wife Should Be Self-Reliant

Chapter 150

"Mom, I also want to eat melon seeds." Yaoyao swallowed unconsciously, the melon seeds were really fragrant, and she could smell the fragrance when the old man passed by her.

Zhou Huilan was stunned for a moment, pulled Yaoyao, and walked along the crowd. After walking a few steps, she found Lu Changqing who was holding a stall at the intersection. He was supporting the bag while weighing melon seeds. He was in a hurry, and he didn't know if he had weighed them. When I saw it, I poured my brains into a plastic bag.

"This young man doesn't know how to read scales, but these melon seeds are quite delicious!" The two aunts walked past Zhou Huilan, laughing at Lu Changqing while eating.

Zhou Huilan clenched her fists unconsciously, trying to pretend she didn't hear, but in the end she couldn't hold back, "You guys are taking advantage of others, why do you say it out loud? Is it that funny!?"

The aunt trembled in fright at Zhou Huilan's roar, but she reacted immediately.

"It's none of your business what we say! Why do you care so much? It's really..." After the aunt finished speaking, she saw Zhou Huilan's face was full of anger, and she was dragged by the person next to her, and she ran away with oil on her feet.

Zhou Huilan also couldn't tell whether she was angry that Lu Changqing was laughed at, or angry that the melon seeds were sold for a loss.

It was Yaoyao who saw Lu Changqing and grabbed Zhou Huilan's clothes excitedly, "Mom, it's Uncle Lu who sells melon seeds!"

Zhou Huilan sighed helplessly, and pulled Yaoyao over.

Seeing Zhou Huilan, Lu Changqing was still scrambling to support the melon seeds, but he took the time to smile at the mother and daughter, "Wait for me, they will be sold out soon!"

Zhou Huilan looked at the empty tricycle, but she didn't expect that Lu Changqing's business would be so good in such a short period of time.

It's just that I don't know how much I lost when I misread the scale.

She told Yaoyao to stand by the side and not to run around, took the scale from Lu Changqing's hand, and helped to weigh it.

Zhou Huilan knows how to use this kind of old-fashioned scale. The aunt who was in the first place saw Zhou Huilan poured out of the plate, and immediately yelled, "Hey, you girl, why are you pouring it out? Didn't you say so?" Some, the young man has already weighed it, why do you pour it out as soon as you come over?"

Zhou Huilan didn't even look at her, and poured a catty of melon seeds into a plastic bag, "Don't you want a catty? It just happens to be a catty here."

The aunt shrank her hand holding the two yuan, "I don't want your catty, I want that young man to weigh it for me, and besides, he weighed it all the time just now, what are you doing here?"

Zhou Huilan pursed her lips, and seeing that there were many people lined up behind, especially the elders and aunts, she guessed that these people should come here to take advantage of the news.

Seeing that Zhou Huilan was standing still, Lu Changqing quickly grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and put them in the bag again, "Let me do it and I will do it, aunt, take a look, is this scale tall?"

Then the aunt smiled again, took out two yuan, and left with the melon seeds.

The aunt at the back followed the team and said that she didn't want Zhou Huilan to weigh her, "I only want this young man's scale."

The big guys are so well aware of Lu Changqing as a fool, even though they know that they won't be able to pay much, Zhou Huilan still feels unhappy.

Seeing her like this, Lu Changqing asked Zhou Huilan to go home first while weighing the melon seeds, "I only have a little left, and it will be sold out soon, you should go home first."

Zhou Huilan took a deep breath, looked at the dazed Yaoyao, and finally took the child and left first.

But before she left, she weighed a large bag of melon seeds in a plastic bag and took her daughter home to eat.

On the way, when passing by a newsstand, Yaoyao's shoelaces suddenly unraveled.

Zhou Huilan knelt down to tie the child's shoelaces, but she saw a newspaper in the newsstand that said the results of the food contest had been announced.

So Zhou Huilan tied the shoelaces for the child and bought a newspaper.

An Ning Daily reported that the winner of the food competition was Master Xu's Man Xiang Restaurant, Niu Guangde's Niu Kee Restaurant was No.2, and Donghua Restaurant only won the third place.

The photo of Master Xu with the champion's gold medal looks like he is in a good spring.

Although Zhang Shaokun did not get No.1, Zhou Huilan was a little relieved, but seeing that this position that should have belonged to her has become someone else's, Zhou Huilan still couldn't help it, feeling a little sad.

She took Yaoyao home, and not long after, Lu Changqing came back on a tricycle.

The plastic bucket containing melon seeds was empty. Lu Changqing took off his satchel, and while pushing the tricycle with a smile, handed the bag to Zhou Huilan.

"You count and see how much money you made today."

Zhou Huilan gave him a blank look, "Those aunts know that you are wrong, and they are here to take advantage of it. It's fine if you don't lose money today. How dare you expect to make money?"

Knowing that Zhou Huilan was unhappy, Lu Changqing pouted and looked at Yaoyao, "Mom blamed me for losing money?"

Yaoyao covered her mouth and gave a provocative smile, shaking the satchel in her hand, "No, there seems to be a lot of money here!"

The big one and the small one are trying hard to please herself, and Zhou Huilan doesn't feel sorry for the melon seeds. She mainly doesn't like Lu Changqing being tricked by others.

Seeing the father and daughter like this, they couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Okay, okay, let's go in and count together to see how much Uncle Lu earned today?"

50 catties of fresh melon seeds cost 5 cents per catty when Zhou Huilan bought them.

After deducting the cost of buying coarse salt and aniseed ingredients, I bought a lot and used a little. The full cost is one yuan, and the loss of firewood and labor is also counted as one yuan. The cost of today’s bucket of melon seeds is also Only 27 yuan.

Lu Changqing took the mother and daughter into the house, opened the messenger bag, and dumped the money on the table. The bulging hill-like pile of money grains was more than 30 yuan.

"You earned all this money this afternoon?" Zhou Huilan couldn't help but widen her eyes, and she probably squeezed her hands together a few times. Although they were all small bills of 1 cents, the money was more than 5 yuan.

"That's right." Lu Changqing was very indifferent, and reached out to pick up the ten-cent tickets, "In my opinion, selling melon seeds is faster than selling traditional Chinese medicine. The grandpas and aunts heard that they need to take medicine, and they are all frowning. Queuing up to grab melon seeds is quite a mess."

Zhou Huilan also counted together, and in the end the bills of the two of them added up to a total of 83 yuan!

"Didn't they all come here to take advantage?" Zhou Huilan still felt that it was impossible, "They buy a catty, and you give away at least a catty and a half. How is it possible to earn so much money back?"

Hearing this, Lu Changqing also laughed, "They all want to take advantage, but the more they take, the less... Isn't the scale in my hands?"
