Chapter 77: Love Watermelon

Lin Yan glanced at the pile of watermelons, and found that most of the watermelons had been cracked, and many of them had even been broken in half.

Now that the weather is hot, it only takes one day for these watermelons to spoil.Facing tens of thousands of catties of broken watermelons, it is useless to put them away, and it is impossible to take them to the wholesale market to exchange for money. No wonder the melon farmers are frowning.

The middle-aged woman still had tears in her eyes, and said in a sobbing voice, "His father, what should I do?"

Facing the sudden disaster, the man had no choice but to stand there rubbing his hands and sighing.

Since last night, the couple have been picking melons in the field. Tens of thousands of catties of watermelons need to be carried out bag by bag from the field. out of the ground.Unexpectedly, I didn't even have time to eat breakfast. I worked so hard to get to Jeju City, and I saw that I could exchange it for money, but the road collapsed and a big hole was pressed out, and the car was overturned here.Looking at the bright red melon flesh scattered on the ground, the man wanted to cry, but it was all a season's hard work.

Lin Yan noticed that the couple had dark skin, and although it was summer, their hands were full of cracks.Both of them were wearing plastic slippers covered with fresh mud.Apparently, the couple came straight from the melon field and didn't even bother to wash their feet.

Lin Yan also felt very helpless when he saw Gua Nong and his wife wanted to cry but had no tears.Although I have done a good deed, helping the melon farmers gather up the broken watermelons, if I can't sell these watermelons, it is equivalent to helping others put away a pile of garbage!

Helping people to the end, how to help the melon farmers dispose of these watermelons has become a major concern of Lin Yan.

Lin Yan casually asked the melon farmers. They are all farmers in Langshan Township, Xiangcheng County. This year, Langshan Township grew a lot of watermelons, and they couldn't sell them locally, so they had to go all the way to Jeju to sell them.

At present, the wholesale price of watermelon is about 500 cents per catty, and the retail price is basically stable at around [-] cents.It is estimated that the melon farmer’s cart of watermelon is about [-] catties, which can be sold for more than [-] yuan, which is the living expenses of the children in the next semester.

Lin Yan frowned and thought about it, and gave the melon farmer an idea, asking him to dispose of these watermelons on the spot according to the wholesale price in the market.These watermelons are very well-proportioned in size, and each weighs about ten catties.

According to Lin Yan's idea, there is no need to weigh the watermelons, it is simply three yuan for one, and five yuan for two.These watermelons have just been cracked and are still very fresh. The price is relatively affordable.Of course, Lin Yan is also going to let the two melon farmers play the sad card, so that the kind-hearted citizens in the past will help out and buy some loving watermelons.

Lin Yan believes that there are many good people at any time. The citizens can buy very affordable watermelons for three to five yuan, and they can also solve the problem for the melon farmers. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

Hearing Lin Yan's idea, Gua Nong and his wife were overjoyed. This should be a good way.However, the melon farmers are still a little skeptical. According to this price, does anyone want rotten watermelons?

Lin Yan firmly believed that this plan was feasible, and there was no other better way.If these rotten watermelons are reloaded into the car again, it is basically equivalent to throwing them away for nothing, and the melon farmers will lose all their money.

As soon as he said it, Lin Yan quietly called several colleagues from the housing management department aside and arranged a special task for them.According to the habits of Chinese people, there must be a leader in everything.As long as someone starts, many people will follow behind.With this habit, various support came into being.

Lin Yan's task for colleagues in the housing management department is to let these colleagues act as kind citizens and take the lead in buying love watermelons.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as someone takes the lead, this large pile of watermelons sounds like tens of thousands of catties, but in fact it is only about a thousand. As long as a few hundred kind-hearted citizens help, the difficulties of melon farmers can be easily solved.

Hearing Lin Yan's arrangement, several colleagues readily agreed, and felt even more admiration for Lin Yan's righteousness.

After arranging for Lin Yan to hold two cracked watermelons, he began to use his three-inch tongue to sell to the citizens who were watching the fun. While introducing the benefits of this watermelon, he encouraged everyone to show love and help the melon farmers. Get over this hurdle.

According to Lin Yan's arrangement, several colleagues from the housing management department made their debut and started buying love watermelons first.Two watermelons cost five yuan, and they both ordered ten yuan, and each carried four watermelons to a commercial vehicle parked nearby.

That's not to mention, after several colleagues delivered the watermelons to the car, they returned immediately and continued to buy them. While selling melons, they exchanged the benefits.At fruit stands, watermelons cost [-] cents a catty, but here they cost just over [-] cents.These watermelons have just been cracked, they are very fresh, and it is absolutely cost-effective to go back and squeeze the juice.

Moreover, the most important point is that buying watermelon at a fruit stand does not guarantee that you will buy a fully ripe watermelon. It is also troublesome to get a half-ripe white face to go back.

These cracked watermelons can be seen clearly by the sunspots in the red soil. They are so intuitive that there is no need to pick them. Whether you know watermelons or not, you can buy ripe melons.

Among the onlookers, everyone is familiar with the watermelon market. When someone first buys it, and compares the two, it feels that the price is indeed very high.This kind of watermelon is not only cheap and affordable, but also can help melon farmers by the way, and be a caring person, why not do it.

Driven by several colleagues from the housing management department, more and more citizens bought melons.

Lin Yan helped the melon farmers collect money to sell melons, and soon became overwhelmed.Seeing that Guatuo played its due role, Lin Yan hurriedly asked several colleagues to change their identities and come to help collect money and sell melons.

Citizens surrounded more and more, because this temporary melon stall is open, it is basically surrounded by citizens in 360 degrees.Everyone has to go to work in the afternoon, and they are all in a hurry to go home, scrambling to sell melons with banknotes.Several of Lin Yan's colleagues participated, but they still felt that there was not enough manpower to meet everyone's needs.

Lin Yan was thinking about where to call for some more help, when he saw Pan Xiaoting running towards him on an electric scooter from a distance.Moreover, Pan Xiaoting was chatting with the two girls next to her while riding a bicycle. It seemed that the two girls should be Pan Xiaoting's companions.Pan Xiaoting's home is not far from the municipal party committee, the beauty can go home for lunch, and she can also help her mother manage the business of the teahouse.

Seeing beautiful woman Pan, Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he was thinking of asking for help. The beauty came at the right time.

"Xiaoting, come here, come here." Lin Yan hurriedly stood on the side of the road, waving at Pan Xiaoting, asking Pan Xiaoting to come over to help.

Returning home from get off work with Pan Xiaoting, and two beauties from the Propaganda Department, found a handsome guy standing on the side of the road calling Pan Xiaoting's name loudly. The two companions joked: "Xiaoting, there is a handsome guy calling you, yes Don't you want to come to Malu to court?"

In fact, Pan Xiaoting and the others had noticed this place a long time ago. After all, a cart of watermelons was overturned on the ground, and so many people gathered around to buy it, which was very eye-catching.

Seeing Lin Yan here, Pan Xiaoting came up and said with a playful smile: "Lin Yan, what's your name, are you here as a traffic policeman, and I haven't violated traffic rules."

Lin Yan laughed and said: "Xiao Ting, it's not a traffic policeman, I learned from Lei Feng a little bit today. I want to ask you a favor to help melon farmers sell watermelons here."

Lin Yan gave a brief introduction to Pan Xiaoting about how the melon farmers overturned their cars, and how he was a little too busy to sell melons to the melon farmers.Lin Yan hoped that Pan Xiaoting and the two beauties could help out and help the melon farmers sell watermelons here for a while.

After listening to Lin Yan's introduction, the three beauties were very moved.In today's Chinese society, although there is a little indifference, everyone still longs for positive energy such as helping others, but there are too few people who do this.

Pan Xiaoting and her two companions immediately agreed to stay here to help the melon farmers sell melons.

With the addition of the three beauties, the strength of the sales force was rapidly strengthened, and the collection of money and melons began to become orderly.In less than an hour, except for dozens of watermelons that were smashed in half, a large pile of watermelons was sold out.

The melon farmers didn't care to wipe off the sweat from their faces, and counted the money, and found that there were more than 600 yuan, which was almost the same as their expected income.That is to say, with Lin Yan's help, he didn't suffer any loss in an encounter that was supposed to cost nothing.

The middle-aged peasant woman smiled through tears, thanked Lin Yan and the others, grabbed a handful of scattered notes, and insisted on stuffing them into Lin Yan's hands, so that a few well-meaning people could eat.

Naturally, Lin Yan would not accept the melon farmer's thanks, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are welcome, the few of us are just a little effort. We can help you sell these watermelons. We have contributed, and more are contributed by the citizens in the past. love."

The peasant woman nodded movedly, feeling that there are still many good people in this world.

Helping the melon growers get rid of the watermelons, Lin Yan also helped to call the traffic police team and asked them to come and investigate the scene.People's tricycle was walking well on the street, but suddenly a wheel sank, so I have to give an explanation.

Just as Lin Yan hung up the phone, he suddenly heard a familiar mezzo-soprano: "Xiao Ting, why are you here?"

Following the voice, Lin Yan turned his head and saw that it was Pan Xiaoting's mother, Xu Lihua.Xu Lihua's "Xunyuan Teahouse" is not too far from here. I heard that there are cheap watermelons here, and I want to buy some squeezed watermelon juice.

Xu Lihua didn't expect that she came late and didn't buy watermelon, but saw her precious daughter here.

Seeing her mother suddenly appear, Pan Xiaoting's pretty face turned pale with fright!Obviously, mother had already spotted Lin Yan, and subconsciously rubbed her eyes twice.

Xu Lihua thought she was delusional.Isn't this Xiaoting's rich second-generation boyfriend? He is studying in the United States, so why did he start selling watermelons in Jeju?

Lin Yan found out that the "mother-in-law" had also come over, and suddenly his heart sank, it was broken, it was broken, as expected, he often stood by the river and his shoes were not wet, and the scene he acted with Pan Xiaoting was going to be worn out.

Fortunately, Lin Yan's inner quality is strong enough, so he quickly adjusted his expression, walked up to Xu Lihua, and said without stuttering: "Auntie, do you want to buy watermelons? The whole ones are sold out. There are half of these left. However, these watermelons are very fresh, and if you squeeze the juice the most, I can sell it to you at a lower price. How about it, I will give you eight for ten yuan..."

Xu Lihua didn't have any intentions to buy rotten watermelons, she stared at Lin Yan in a daze, and asked in amazement: "Aren't you Lin Yan, why are you selling watermelons here?"
