“The watermelon is so sweet.”
The aunt and Shao Zhicheng sighed at the same time.
They all lowered their heads and took a big bite of watermelon.
Ye Jiaying had a watermelon in her mouth. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyebrows complacently and shook her head.
It tastes good, right? This is the soul-nourishing liquid I contributed.
Before she could swallow the watermelon and start showing off, the door opened and Director Zhang came in.
Director Zhang came in with a dozen documents in his hand. Seeing that everyone was eating watermelon, he didn't hesitate and took a piece.
"Director Zhang." Everyone greeted him vaguely while eating watermelon.
"Mmm, so sweet."
Director Zhang took a bite of watermelon and his eyes immediately widened.
The watermelon was juicy, sweet and crispy, and it was delicious. He took another bite.
"The fruits in our village are very good. Director Zhang, please buy some more. I'm sure everyone will like them."
Ye Jiaying boasted proudly.
Director Zhang just nodded without saying anything.
No time to talk, I'm eating watermelon one bite after another.
"Director, a comrade asked if he could buy peaches now."
Everyone was eating watermelon when suddenly the old man selling dishes at the front window ran over.
Everyone is looking forward to today's peaches.
Director Zhang waved his hand, finished a piece of watermelon in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and then had time to talk.
"Weigh these and place them in window number five."
He pointed at the peach first.
Everyone ate peaches yesterday and they were quite popular. Let’s put this one out first so it sells better.
"Weigh this one and move it over too."
He pointed at the melon again.
This one is also small in size and easy to sell.
The people who ran in hurriedly busied themselves with weighing and moving the items out.
The aunt wiped her mouth and took out a small notebook to count.
Shao Zhicheng also wiped his mouth, holding a basket of peaches in each hand, and helped to carry them over to the scale.
After the peaches and melons were moved away, Director Zhang frowned at the grapes and watermelons.
One of these is huge and the other is easy to break. How can I sell them?
"Director, you can sell grapes in halves. You can't pick and choose. The taste is guaranteed to be good. You can take some of the fallen grapes and let everyone taste them."
"Watermelons can be cut into small pieces and sold first so that people can taste them. If they taste good, families can buy more and then we can cut them into halves and quarters and sell them."
Seeing Director Zhang frowning as he looked at the grapes and watermelons, Ye Jiaying quickly offered some advice.
Director Zhang looked at her, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Okay, let's try, but I don't have enough manpower."
"We two sisters can help." Ye Jiamin also said quickly.
Director Zhang nodded and asked them to cut a watermelon first while he went to window number five to take a look.
The China Research Institute is actually very busy, so everyone takes advantage of the time before going to the office in the morning to do some shopping, and once they get to the office they are busy all the time.
Sometimes I don’t even have time to eat lunch.
Everyone found that after buying peaches, they could eat them to fill their stomachs when they didn’t have time to eat lunch.
But the most important thing is that peaches taste good, and the elderly and children at home also like to eat them.
When Director Zhang went to window number five, he heard the bald middle-aged man from yesterday wave his hand and say, "Give me five pounds."
Director Zhang looked at the four baskets of peaches.
This is less than 200 kilograms.
There are about 400 people in the hospital.
He quickly walked over and said to everyone, "Comrades, today we have not only peaches, but also melons, watermelons, and grapes. They all taste good, so everyone should try them."
"I just love eating peaches." The bald man looked at him and still insisted.
Director Zhang smiled bitterly and had him weighed.
Most of the people who line up first are those who had eaten peaches yesterday and thought they were good.
Others saw that there was a long queue of people here and it was very lively. From time to time, they could hear people lining up for three pounds or five pounds, and they also curiously joined the queue.
Everyone has a herd mentality. If others say it’s good, I have to try it too.
When Ye Jiaying and her sister came over with the divided watermelons and grapes, only half a basket of peaches was left, and the line was still very long.
"Comrade Xiaoye, why don't you send me four more baskets at noon."
Director Zhang said with both joy and hesitation.
He hadn't even saved the peaches he promised to give to the dean, so how come they were gone?
"good."
The Ye sisters looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
This is just the beginning.
This is a canteen.
If they go to a few more stores, not only will the peaches from their two families not have to be sold at a low price, but maybe all the peaches in Yejia Village will not have to be sold at a low price either.
Director Zhang told everyone that the peaches were sold out and would be replaced at noon, and pushed the watermelons out.
Peaches and watermelons are common fruits in summer and most people like to eat them.
I originally thought I couldn’t finish a whole watermelon, but when I saw I could buy a piece, half, or a quarter, I started buying more.
The first person who bought the watermelon paid, took a bite of the watermelon and prepared to leave.
He took a bite of the watermelon and chewed it twice before turning back.
I took another big bite of the watermelon and felt the juicy and sweet taste in my mouth, which relieved me from the heat and quenched my thirst.
"Give me two more dollars, and leave one for me. I'll come get it in the evening." The man said incoherently and took out more money.
Director Zhang is happy, and this year's revenue data is guaranteed to be good.
Ye Jiaying helped cut a few more melons for tasting.
After breakfast, several large bamboo baskets were empty.
Only some watermelon left.
This is not easy to take. Someone deposited it there. I came to move it after get off work.
Director Zhang’s face was about to break from laughing.
He looked at the small notebook in his hand. These were all reservations made by people who couldn't buy the items.
Eat most of the fruit when it arrives at noon.
"Director, um, shall we settle the bill?" Ye Jiaying looked at Director Zhang, whose mouth was twisted with joy, and reminded him tentatively.
"Oh, yes, yes." Director Zhang nodded repeatedly, trying hard to hide his smile.
But in less than two seconds, the front teeth were exposed again.
Director Zhang simply stopped restraining himself, showing his big white teeth, happily holding his little notebook, and prepared to take Ye Jiaying and her sister to pay the bill.
Ye Jiaying saw from afar that Shao Zhicheng was washing his hands and preparing to go out.
Ye Jiaying felt a little embarrassed by the other person's busyness all morning. She said hello to Director Zhang and ran towards Shao Zhicheng.
"Comrade Shao." Ye Jiaying called out to the person who was walking to the door.
Shao Zhicheng turned around and responded with a smile, "Comrade Ye."
"Thank you so much today."
Ye Jiaying looked at Shao Zhicheng, the clean and tidy young man since the morning, and thought, well, that's a compliment.
After moving things all morning, my clothes are all wrinkled.
She scratched her cheek, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Serve the people." Shao Zhicheng stood at attention and saluted her, then said to her with a smile, "Come over quickly. I live in the back. I'll go back and wash up."
Ye Jiaying nodded and said, "I'll bring you some delicious fruit this afternoon."
Without waiting for him to say anything else, she ran away.
Shao Zhicheng looked at her light figure, smiled, shook his head, and turned away.
Director Zhang took the two of them to his office and took out the documents that had been signed that morning.
He put down the documents and asked Ye Jiaying with a smile without mentioning the bill first.
