Chapter 978: A Dream (59)

Shopkeeper Wang looked in the direction Su Cangshan pointed, and his face suddenly broke into a smile.

"Okay, okay, I just happened to bring some money with me, so let's pick them now! By the way, how much is one pound of these watermelons?"

Su Ruanruan followed the three of them. She found it a little funny to hear Shopkeeper Wang only remember to ask about the price now, but she did not laugh out loud, nor did she say anything.

Since everything has been discussed, it is of course up to Su Cangshan and Xiao Yougen to take the lead now.

She is just a five-year-old child and should not be involved in this.

Su Cangshan glanced at Shopkeeper Wang and said, "Thirty cents a pound."

After saying this, Su Cangshan did not show it on his face, but he was already feeling uneasy in his heart, fearing that Manager Wang would get angry and turn around and leave.

But what Su Cangshan was worried about did not happen. After hearing the price, Shopkeeper Wang smiled and nodded, "Okay, then thirty coins per pound. Let's weigh them right away! I happened to bring a large scale with me. It will be more convenient to use."

Neither the Su family nor the Xiao family has a big name.

Su Cangshan and Xiao Yougen were still thinking about how to weigh the goods, but they didn't expect that Shopkeeper Wang came prepared.

The mule cart had a large compartment and, apart from the scale, only had a row of rear seats.

I guess before coming here, Shopkeeper Wang had already moved the things inside downstairs to make room for the watermelon.

It seems that Shopkeeper Wang is determined to get the watermelon! Although he understood this, Su Ruanruan did not regret setting this price.

No matter what time, people should never be unsatisfied.

Thirty cents per pound is already a very high price.

The ripe watermelons were picked one by one, weighed together, and finally put into a backpack and loaded into the mule cart. This process took half an hour.

It’s not that there are too many watermelons, it’s just that it’s a bit troublesome to pack them.

You can tell at a glance that watermelon cannot be shaken, otherwise it will easily break.

Fortunately, we had just harvested wheat and had a lot of wheat straw at home. We simply put thick straw at the bottom of the bamboo basket, put a watermelon in it, and wrapped it with the straw. This way the watermelons would not be squeezed tightly together, and even if the road conditions were bad, the watermelons would not break.

The more careful you are when installing it, the more time it takes, but no one finds it troublesome.

When the watermelons were finally loaded, there was no room left for Manager Wang in the carriage, so he simply sat in the front with the driver.

Su Ruanruan and the others watched the mule cart go away, looked at each other, and laughed silently.

This time, the Su family got twenty watermelons and the Xiao family got twenty-one.

The Su family had a total of 260 kilograms of watermelons, and each kilogram was 30 wen, which was 7,800 wen, or 7 taels and 8 cents of silver.

The Xiao family's watermelons weighed a total of 273 kilograms, and at 30 wen per kilogram, that was 8,190 wen, or 8 taels, 1 qian and 90 wen.

Earning so much money in a day was something that was unthinkable in the past.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But now, they not only dare to think about it, but are also 100% sure that in a few days, when the next batch of watermelons are ripe, they will still be able to earn so much income.

With the income from strawberries added on, life really got better for both families.

The summer harvest holiday had just ended, so Su Cangshan took Su Laifu and three other children to the school in Daling Village that afternoon.

When they came back, everyone had a happy look on their face.

Seeing them like this, Su Ruanruan and others also laughed.
