cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 49 Sky-high Price Watermelon
Hearing the village chief's joke, Zhang Wei smiled cheerfully. He naturally knew that the village chief was joking, and it was an excuse to eat melons. knife ready to cut watermelon.

"Wow, Xiaowei, you are amazing. How dare you cut watermelon with Uncle Zhang's family heirloom knife?" The village chief Zhang Yourong touched this huge watermelon almost every day. After finally eating watermelon, Zhang Wei actually used the Zhang family's ancestral knife to cut the melon, which really surprised the village chief, and even other people were surprised when they saw this knife.

Zhang Wei actually used a precious knife to cut watermelon, which is too prodigal.

This knife has enjoyed a high reputation in the village for a long time. The Zhang family's ancestral treasure knife is incomparable, and there are countless defeats. Someone once didn't believe this, and took a military tungsten steel machete to slash. Duan, but this precious knife is not damaged at all, which shows the sharpness of this precious knife.Everyone in the village knows that Mr. Zhang is very fond of this sword.

"This knife was also handed down from the Zhang family's ancestors. It is said that Xiaowei is also a part of it. Besides, the precious knife is also a knife. It doesn't matter what kind of knife it is. It can cut watermelon. The knife is dead, but people are alive. I'll leave it to Xiaowei." Master Zhang said with a laugh, very free and easy.This surprised everyone. This is a real precious knife, not the Wang Mazi kitchen knife that can be bought everywhere on the street. Master Zhang passed it on as he said, and passed it on to a grandson in the next generation, but it was not his son.

When Zhang Wei heard that Master Zhang said that the knife was given to him, he was surprised at first, and then he didn't feel much. This knife may be a precious knife in the mortal world, but for the gods in the heaven, this knife may be thrown into the heaven. No one picks it up, it’s too bad, any wood-cutting knife that can be found in the heavenly court is better than this, the real treasure knife of the heavenly court is the machete of Taoist Duobao, and that knife is called the real machete. The famous Tianzhu Mountain was suddenly cut off.

Therefore, Zhang Wei feels that it is not impossible to use this knife to cut watermelon. It seems that it is just right.

"Haha, Uncle Zhang is still free and easy. I can't even do this, I admire you." The village chief laughed, and while he was talking, Zhang Wei raised the knife in his hand, swung the knife like flowing water, and already cut the watermelon. More than half of it has been cut, and it is almost full of a case table.Not to mention, this precious knife cuts the watermelon, and the watermelon really hasn't exploded.

Village head Zhang Yourong, who was already hungry, invited everyone to eat melons.I was the first to go forward and took two yuan, gave one to the old village head, and ate one by myself, and others also came forward to get melons.Although this melon is not as good as the melon grown by Bodhi, the taste is not bad, and it should be the best watermelon in the world.In terms of taste, it is still not as refreshing as the peaches in my mustard seeds.Therefore, after eating it once, Zhang Wei was not too enthusiastic. After cutting another piece, there was still a corner left like yesterday. Without cutting it, Zhang Wei also picked up a piece and gnawed it slowly.

"By the way, Xiaolei, didn't you take a few back to the provincial capital yesterday to try the price? This melon is delicious, so the price should be pretty good." The village chief asked while eating, the price is his most concerned issue now, The unified piece of land in the village is about to be sorted out.It’s only June now, if it’s possible, the seedlings can produce a crop of autumn watermelons in autumn. Even if there are a crop of watermelons, if there are many people in the village, there should be a lot of income. Wei's melon seeds, even if they are not as delicious as Zhang Wei's, but they can taste one-tenth of this, and they are still first-class watermelons. Besides, in autumn, the watermelons on the market basically go down. They are all the same price, that is to say, early watermelons and late watermelons can basically be sold at high prices.

"Well, the retail price of the restaurant is 50 yuan a catty." The words are not surprising.

When everyone heard the price Zhang Wei said, they almost spit out the watermelon in their mouths in one bite.

"The price of 50 yuan per catty, Xiaolei, you don't want to be so exaggerated even if you want to save face for Xiaowei?" There are quite a lot of things here, 50 yuan a catty of watermelon, not to mention eating, I heard that this is the first time.Even imported watermelons are not worth this price.

Everyone else stared at Sun Xiaolei with their mouths open. Even Zhang Wei was as surprised as everyone else when he heard the price. He forgot to chew the fragrant watermelon in his mouth.

Just yesterday, when Sun Xiaolei and his father were discussing the price of watermelons and preparing to end the supply of vegetables to all restaurants in the provincial capital in two months, Sun Xiaolei's father was also surprised that his father sold it to the restaurant for a price of 50 yuan. Well, not only did the restaurant not counter the price, but several restaurants on the spot set a unified price, the retail price for members: [-] yuan/catties, and it was only for retail sale.Seeing how the bomb he had predicted left everyone stunned, Sun Xiaolei felt that he had found out the feeling of being stunned yesterday.

This melon can’t be sold at retail. In the eyes of those rich and powerful, more than 2000 yuan is no different from two cents.A restaurant only gets one melon in total. If one person buys all of them, then how can their restaurant attract everyone to continue their business.

"Don't look at me like this. The price is set by the hotel itself. They know what is the most suitable price. In fact, the price of 50 yuan is not too high." Only willing to let the surprised jaw drop.

Yesterday Sun Xiaolei pulled away a dozen or so watermelons, but each weighed more than 50 catties, 2000 yuan a catty, and that watermelon cost 50 yuan. Zhang Wei’s watermelon could only be cut into four or [-] yuan at most. , everyone looked at the watermelon in their hands, this piece of watermelon was eaten in just a dozen bites, and that piece of watermelon was several pieces.

"Hehe, you don't need to listen to this kid's nonsense. No matter how expensive this melon is, that's his business. He only pays 100 yuan a catty. For me, it's just enough for the folks to eat. Everyone, eat quickly, and wait for the sun to heat up. It won’t taste good after eating this melon.” Zhang Wei felt embarrassed to eat melons when he saw that everyone was holding melons in their hands, so he quickly asked everyone to eat, money is important, not favor.

Hearing Zhang Wei's greeting, everyone happily ate again, regardless of the price, the village chief Zhang Yourong would eat it anyway, and just as everyone was delaying, the village chief had already finished eating a piece, and took another piece of it in his hand. Picked up a piece.Zhang Wei really admired Village Chief Zhang's eating appearance. It was almost as good as the little girl Keke. She gnawed the bright red melon juice without any regard for her image, and her mouth was full of melon juice. , His hands were so sticky that they were almost sticking together.While eating, he bluffed, "It's delicious, um, this melon is delicious."

No matter how delicious a watermelon is, people's stomachs are always limited. After eating four pieces of watermelon, Village Chief Zhang Yourong slowed down eating watermelon, and his mouth was full of belches. The fifth piece of watermelon seemed to be his limit.After a while, everyone ate so much that they couldn't eat anymore while stroking their round bellies.Zhang Wei only ate two pieces, not because Zhang Wei was reluctant, but because although the melon was delicious, it was only delicious, and it was not worth his effort to eat it for the watermelon.I can’t finish eating flat peaches in Tianting. Although I haven’t eaten flat peaches for many years, after all, I have eaten a lot of them. Therefore, although this watermelon is the best in the world, he just gnawed on it. It’s not bad. , the real delicacy for him is the cooked food, which is not available in heaven.
