Yi Xiaoqiu still called Shen Ruofei and the others, "I have some watermelon here, do you want to come and have some?"
Before Shen Ruofei could say anything, Xie Xingyu behind her shouted happily, "Eat! Where's the watermelon?"
When he shouted, nearly twenty male and female educated youth at the educated youth center heard that Yi Xiaoqiu was going to share watermelons with everyone, and they all looked at Yi Xiaoqiu with surprise and desire in their eyes.
Being stared at by so many people with such eyes, Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't stand it anymore. She hurriedly got up and went into the house, "I'll get it."
She took out the watermelon, which had only four-fifths of it left, along with the bucket. The watermelon weighed more than 30 kilograms, but she only cut the bottom end and didn't get to eat the sweetest middle part, which was a bit of a pity.
The watermelons grown on the farm are fragrant and sweet, with a crunchy texture and a really good taste.
As soon as the watermelon was taken out, everyone smelled the unique fragrance of watermelon.
Everyone looked at the bright red watermelon flesh and felt their mouths become even drier.
"Who will cut it?" Xie Xingyi came over as soon as Yi Xiaoqiu brought out the watermelon.
"Let me cut it! This watermelon is so big!"
Xie Xingyi took the watermelon out of the bucket. Although he had already seen the bright red watermelon flesh, he still subconsciously patted the watermelon rind.
"You're so famous, why are you still filming?" Yi Xiaoqiu rolled his eyes. Xie Xing looked handsome and elegant, but he was a loser when it came to food. Among so many people, he ran the fastest. For a bite of food, he would not recognize his relatives.
Lu Huaian lifted the dining table with one hand and held a kitchen knife in the other, "Come here and cut!"
Everyone was staring at Xie Xingyu cutting the watermelon.
The watermelon was cut open, and in the blink of an eye, it was divided up by twenty people.
Yi Xiaoqiu waited until her stomach was no longer so bloated, then she went back into the house and lay down.
After a while, Song Ying, who had prepared dinner, actually brought the meal to Yi Xiaoqiu.
She didn't even knock on the door, she just kicked it open and came in. Yi Xiaoqiu didn't know who it was and was quite angry. Who kicked her door?
When he looked up, he saw Song Ying putting a bowl of vegetables on the table. There were also four steamed buns on the vegetables. Yi Xiaoqiu was a little confused, "What are you doing?"
Song Ying didn't respond and continued, "I see you haven't lit the fire yet. I made some porridge. I'll go get it later."
This is an invitation for her to eat melon, so she will treat her to a meal!
Yi Xiaoqiu looked at the steamed bread and blinked. The heroine also eats these!
She really didn't know what the heroines would eat after they each started cooking.
Yi Xiaoqiu thought that if he didn’t have a farm, his life would be even worse than this.
After a while, Shen Ruofei also brought the food over.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked up and was stunned. This guy actually had canned fish to eat. Although he took out a bowl, she could tell at a glance.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Luo Wanlin and Su Mianmian also brought in the food.
Yi Xiaoqiu's room suddenly became lively.
"Yi Zhiqing, your house is so clean!"
Her house is not just clean, it is spotless, and the items are neatly arranged.
All of this is due to the housekeeper. Every time she is not at home, the housekeeper comes out from the farm to clean. If it is not inconvenient for him to show up, I am afraid he will have to take care of all the work in the vegetable garden behind the house.
Now that Song Ying said this, Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't say that it wasn't her who cleaned it, so she could only vaguely say, "It's okay, I just cleaned it every day."
Five girls sat around on the kang and ate their meal in a lively atmosphere.
Shen Ruofei thought about the watermelon she had just eaten and was still not satisfied. She was the one who was most afraid of heat and loved eating watermelon in summer.
"Xiaoqiu, where did you buy your watermelon? Can you buy some for me next time?"
As soon as Shen Ruofei said this, the room fell silent.
The supply and marketing cooperatives occasionally provide watermelons, but ordinary people can't buy them at all. They are consumed internally as soon as they arrive at the destination.
Some farmers have many children at home and will plant a few on their own private plots.
Yi Xiaoqiu either found someone he knew, or he found someone on the black market...
When Yi Xiaoqiu looked up, several pairs of eyes were looking at her.
What should she say? Should she say she bought it from someone she knew, or that she found it on the black market?
If she said she bought the watermelon from an acquaintance, she could still sell it to people around her, but there would be a risk of being exposed.
If she said she encountered it in the black market, her idea of selling watermelons would have been completely aborted.
Never mind, the brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.
"Ahem... I went to the market today and ran into a distant relative of mine, his uncle, selling watermelons at the black market. I picked out the biggest one and brought it back."
Shen Ruofei's eyes lit up, "Does he still have watermelons for sale? This watermelon is so delicious, I want to buy some."
The others looked at Yi Xiaoqiu and nodded quickly.
"I'm not sure about this. I have to ask my uncle first. Do you want to buy them all?" Yi Xiaoqiu did not agree immediately.
Shen Ruofei said as a matter of course, "Yes! Such a delicious watermelon, who wouldn't want to buy it? But, how much is one pound of watermelon?"
Yi Xiaoqiu thought for a moment, "The uncle bought me this watermelon for eight cents a pound without asking for a ticket. The supply and marketing cooperative also charges eight cents a pound, but I can't buy it even with a ticket."
"So cheap!" Shen Ruofei and the others were shocked. It was too cheap. Even a watermelon like this could be sold on the black market for only 1.5 cents!
"Well, since we're relatives, my uncle hasn't asked for anything yet. How many do you want? When the time comes, go ask my uncle."
Song Ying: "Twenty."
Shen Ruofei: “Twenty!”
The two of them answered for a moment, then looked at each other tacitly, and then looked away for a moment.
"How much do you want to buy?"
Yi Xiaoqiu was startled. She suspected she had misheard. This was too much! Each watermelon on her farm weighed over 30 kilograms. Twenty per person would weigh several kilograms!
"Twenty!" they said in unison.
Shen Ruofei's golden finger is just a small convenience store that is barely self-sufficient. It's difficult for her to get rich!
Moreover, most of the items in convenience stores are snacks, with a small portion of daily necessities, and only a few can be taken out.
Shen Ruofei had long wanted to find some fashionable goods to sell.
Song Ying has spatial abilities, and there aren't many supplies left inside, not to mention that some of the supplies don't belong to this era, so they're taken out without even checking.
If she had goods to sell and she had the space, it would not be easy for her to sell them on the black market.
Therefore, both of them wanted to make their first pot of gold in the black market, and selling watermelons was a good way to make money.
Su Mianmian: "I only want one."
She just wanted to buy some watermelons for seeds; they were so sweet and delicious. As for selling them on the black market, she hadn't thought about that yet.
Luo Wanlin: "I want two."
She planned to keep one for herself and give the other to Mo Hengan. He had helped her a lot with the autumn harvest and house building, so she gave him a melon as a thank you.
Luo Wanlin and Su Mianmian both understood the purpose of Shen Ruofei and Song Ying, but they just tacitly didn't ask anything.
Wow, this requires more than forty melons.
Even if Yi Xiaoqiu was beaten to death, he would never believe that these two people bought it to eat.
