Chapter 277 The Town is Crowded
"Yes!" Little Dumpling pulled Hawkeye's hand, "Go quickly!"
The boss had already given the order, so Hawkeye had nothing more to say and immediately went back to the village to make arrangements.
Zhou Huaining had originally planned to stay at the Ye family for one night, but now that was not possible, he got on the carriage carrying two watermelons and went back to town.
That afternoon, Black Eagle Village transported the watermelons over.
The wooden shed couldn't hold so many watermelons, so they had to be piled at the foot of the city wall.
The Black Eagle Village originally sent people to guard the watermelons in the wooden shed, but the villagers asked them to go back. Anyway, there were people guarding the city wall, so there was no need to worry about the watermelons being lost.
The next morning, many people came to the Black Eagle Village. Eagle Eye chose those who were more pleasing to the eye and spoke more gently in the village. After all, it was a business, and at least he couldn't scare people.
The Black Eagle Village is no longer a bandit, so their old outfits have been thrown away. Now they dress like ordinary villagers and look like real farmers.
As it was their first time doing business, they were a little excited and humbly asked the villagers for advice.
Hawkeye sat in the wooden shed, holding Little Dumpling in his arms, and kept looking towards the village entrance.
From sunrise to noon, there was not a single person in sight.
The people in the Black Eagle Village were getting a little anxious. "Boss, it seems like just waiting isn't enough. We have to take action ourselves!"
"Don't worry, let's open the shop!" The villagers ran over with laughter.
"The watermelons you grow are delicious, we want to buy some too."
Hawkeye looked disgusted, but was actually touched. "Why do I need your help? Why don't you do something with the money? Why buy this damn expensive watermelon?"
The price of watermelon is ten cents per catty, and a watermelon weighs more than ten catties, which is really not cheap.
The villagers laughed and said, "We'll buy less and open a shop for you."
In the end, the villagers worked together to move ten watermelons, but Hawkeye refused to accept the money, and the two sides almost got into a fight.
In the end, Hawkeye gave half price.
After the villagers carried the watermelons back, the watermelon shed returned to peace, and there was still no one at the village entrance.
The Black Eagle Village couldn't sit still any longer. "Boss, big boss, let's not wait any longer. Let's transport a few carts into the city first!"
Little Dumpling said calmly, "Don't worry, Susu will be here soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the villagers on guard on the city wall shout, "Here they come, the buyers are coming! Get ready!"
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard at the entrance of the village, followed by a long line of carriages.
"Stand up and welcome the guests!" Hawkeye smiled.
Then, he carried the little dumpling into the village.
It’s better not to scare the buyer with his appearance.
After the carriage stopped, Director Yang got off.
"You guys in Heihe Village are really amazing. You always surprise me from time to time. I can't keep the money in my pocket!"
The county magistrate had someone send him a round object yesterday, saying it was a watermelon grown in Heihe Village.
Since he ate the watermelon from Heihe Village, he naturally wanted to do something for Heihe Village.
The Black Eagle Village didn't know Shanzhang Yang, but fortunately, there were enthusiastic villagers on the scene to help. "Shanzhang Yang, distinguished guests, come and have a piece of watermelon to quench your thirst!"
Just as I finished speaking, I heard a series of clicking sounds.
When everyone looked, they saw that it was a few men chopping watermelons with knives.
There was something indescribably sharp and decisive about that action.
The man from Black Eagle Village cut the watermelon and walked straight to the buyer with it, "Eat!"
Buyers: “…”
Are all the villagers in Heihe Village so tough?
But watermelon is really sweet!
After eating the watermelon, the buyers began to ask the price.
"Ten cents a pound, too expensive."
The Black Eagle Village hadn't expected them to bargain, so they kept repeating the same two words: "Is it expensive? How is it expensive? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Compared to strawberries, watermelons are much cheaper!"
The buyers shook their heads.
They are not talking nonsense. Watermelon is not as delicious as strawberry. Strawberry is smaller and looks good, and it looks delicate at first glance.
The watermelon looks like a ball and doesn't look worth the price.
"Although this watermelon tastes good and is large, it's actually not cheap per piece. The price should be cheaper."
"Yes, watermelon is not like strawberry. Strawberry is all fruit, but watermelon has a thick rind, and you can only eat the red flesh in the middle."
Little Dumpling whispered something to Hawkeye, who then shouted, "Don't throw away the leftover watermelon rind. Peel off the green outer skin and use the white part for cooking! It tastes just as good as cucumbers that cost a few cents a pound. It's delicious!"
"Cucumber?" The buyers were stunned. Fried cucumbers in restaurants are not cheap nowadays.
The buyers were a little surprised, "So it's not a waste after all."
Yang Shanchang shouted, "I'm reminding you, buy more! Xianchuan County will have a lot of foreign visitors soon, and these watermelons will definitely be popular!"
Everyone knows that Yang Shanchang was not lying. In the past few days, some people from neighboring counties did come to Xianchuan County just to taste the unique spicy dishes.
The business of the restaurants in the town is much better than before. The owners are almost overwhelmed and many restaurants have posted notices recruiting waiters.
"Buy it quickly! Buy it early so we can close the stall early!" Black Eagle Village didn't expect that doing business would be so difficult. To be honest, it is more practical to rob the rich of their money.
Customers: “…”
This Heihe Village is really unique!
There's nothing we can do about it, it's their right to act so arrogant!
Who makes their products unique?
Heihe Village: Your honor is none of our business (╥╯﹏╰╥)
In one morning, we sold about 2,000 kilograms of watermelon, which is a very good result.
The Black Eagle Village was encouraged and squatted in the wooden shed with laughter, "Boss, at this rate, it will be sold out in a few days."
Hawkeye smiled and said, "The sooner we sell them, the better. Then I'll divide the money among you and help you find wives!"
The people in the Black Eagle Village joked, "No matter what, the boss should get married first!"
Hawkeye said, "I don't want a wife! I'm hungry, cook for me!"
The Black Eagle Village brought rice and vegetables, and there happened to be a stove in the wooden shed so they could cook.
"Stop it! Let's eat at home!"
The village head came out with the villagers and said, "You are guests in Heihe Village. How can we ask you to cook your own food?"
The Black Eagle Village didn't feel comfortable going to someone else's house for dinner. "We've brought everything with us, so we won't bother you! It's not easy for you, with your family!"
The villagers said, "It's not a big deal, just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks! Besides, our village doesn't need any of your food right now!"
Dozens of people came to Black Eagle Village to sell melons, but they were dragged back by the enthusiastic villagers.
In the afternoon, a large number of customers suddenly arrived, all of them in a hurry, "Hurry up, weigh the watermelons!"
"What's going on?" the villagers couldn't help asking.
"A lot of people suddenly poured into the town, and all the restaurants and inns were packed! Many of them were distinguished guests from the capital! There's never been such a good business opportunity!"
For the entire afternoon, there was a constant stream of people buying watermelons.
The people in Black Eagle Village did not want to miss this business opportunity, so they dragged two carts of watermelons to the town. They heard that watermelons in the town were now sold for fifteen cents per pound.
At dusk, the number of customers finally decreased.
Hawkeye and others packed up and prepared to return to the village.
At this time, Zhou Huaining's carriage drove into the village entrance. Before the people arrived, the voice came.
"This is crazy, this is crazy! The town is so crowded, I might as well come to Heihe Village and hide for a few days!"
