There were other patients and even guests in the clinic. Xu Qiu cut a lot of watermelons. His father and elder brother hadn't come back yet. Seeing that someone came over curiously, he simply asked everyone to try it.

People here have never eaten watermelon, and it will be convenient for them to do watermelon business in the future.

The bright red watermelon was cut into thick pieces and placed on a plate. It was really tempting in this hot weather. Xu Qiu carried it over and said with a smile: "This is the fruit from overseas that my family grows. The scientific name is watermelon, and it is very popular to eat in summer, so everyone should try it to see how it tastes.”

What he said was nice, and most people would not refuse it. If someone takes the lead, the rest will naturally follow.

Bite into the mouth, the rich juice immediately filled the whole mouth.

Many people swallowed it in one gulp, and all praised it: "It's cool and sweet, and it's really comfortable to eat on this hot day."

Although there are a lot of various fruit trees on the mountain, and people often pick them up and sell them on the street, most of them are wild varieties, and they are not very good in terms of taste or size.

Compared with this, it is even more incomparable.

Usually, people rarely eat sugar. The sweetness of this watermelon tastes better than sugar.

Immediately, someone asked: "Little doctor Xu, do you grow a lot of watermelons? Can you sell me one, the price doesn't matter."

"Correct."

Someone in the hospital responded.

Those who can come to their clinic, the proportion of rich people is not low, these people really don't care about the price, they really want to buy it back and try it for the family.

There are also some people who think it is delicious, but they understand that this product may be more expensive, so it is difficult to open their mouths.

Xu Qiudao: "There are no more today, but if you want to buy them, you can come tomorrow." There are still three in his yard, but his father and two elder brothers haven't eaten yet. There are so many people in the museum, it is not easy to sell to one but not to another.

It would be best to just buy them all tomorrow.

Someone asked about the price, and Xu Qiu had discussed it with Lin Guangfu in advance: "Ten cents a catty, you can buy a whole piece at a time, or you can buy half a piece, and put it in a water tank or well for a long time after you go home. The taste will be better, of course you can eat it directly.”

The price of ten pennies may even sound a bit low.

Some people originally thought they couldn't afford it, but after hearing this, it seems that buying it once or twice is not a big problem.

The price of meat on their side is more than 80 yuan, and the usual recruitment is about 100 yuan a day, and the manual labor on the dock is more, more than [-] yuan a day, depending on the individual situation.A watermelon is about seven or eight catties, which is about [-] Wen.

If you only buy half of it, how many people can still afford it.

Immediately, many people wanted to come and buy it.

In fact, the price can be even higher. After all, they have a long summer and they will definitely be able to sell them out. But Xu Qiu didn't want to make a lot of money from this. When there are more people planting next year, the price might drop a bit. .More importantly, his old father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't want to sell too high a price, and felt that selling too much was like a scam.

It can be said to be quite honest.

But at the current price, they still make a lot of money, so it's pretty good as it is.

Hearing that so many people in the clinic were willing to buy it, Wang and Lin Guangfu couldn't help being very happy.Anyway, they are fine right now, so they told Xu Qiu to go back and prepare first, pick out the ones that have grown up, and hire a car to pull them up when the time comes.

Xu Qiu heard and said: "There's no rush. I'll close the clinic a little earlier in the afternoon, and we'll go pick watermelons together." His whole family was ready to go out.

This is what was said earlier.

Lin Guangfu shook his head: "No, you just need to take care of Xiaoqu. We'll rest for a long time when we come here. Anyway, it's fine. Just go back and fix it first. Otherwise, we won't be able to stay if we stay idle."

Wang also nodded in agreement.

No matter how nice Xu Qiu and Lin Qu were to them, this was not a place where they often stayed.

Seeing that the expressions of the two did not seem to be fake, Xu Qiu had no choice but to agree: "That's fine, parents, please be careful on the way back."

"it is good."

After the two finished speaking, they got up and greeted Mrs. Li, and then went back.

During lunch, everyone came back. Xu Qiu talked about picking watermelons. Everyone said that they would come back early in the afternoon, and then everyone would go to the field to pick watermelons.After eating, Xu Qiu remembered that the watermelon that he had said to give to Zhou Yexing before, would be enough for his father and elder brother and second brother to eat at home later. He simply got up and went to the county government office to give Zhou Ye Ye Xing sent it over.

That afternoon, including Zhou Yexing and a few of his followers, a group of people went back to the village in a mighty way.

According to Zhou Yexing, picking watermelons is such a fun thing, of course everyone should be together.

Let's go together, it's like finding a bunch of free labor.

After teaching everyone how to judge ripe and raw melons in advance, the watermelon picking operation officially started. In the afternoon, Mrs. Wang and Lin Guangfu had already picked a lot, and some villagers came to help. The picked watermelons are already piled to the brim at Lin's house.

Seeing so many watermelons, Lin Guangfu suddenly hesitated: "Can this be sold out? It won't be spoiled by then, right?"

"No." Xu Qiu said: "As long as there is no bump, this thing will be fine even if it is left for a month."

Zhou Yexing on the side heard this, his eyes brightened.

In the area of ​​North Vietnam, most of the soil is relatively poor, the grain output is small, but the sunlight is strong, and the temperature is high most of the year. If the watermelon can be grown well, it is really a way to store it with this storage time.

There are not many rooms in the Lin family, so it is obviously impossible for so many people to live there. Before it is completely dark, those who want to go back to the town will not keep food. , Xu Qiu invited everyone to have dinner in the big restaurant, and by the way, he got two big watermelons.

Watermelon is a novelty, and the people who followed Zhou Yexing didn't intend to ask for money, so it's not easy to give it.

But when I got watermelon, I was very happy.

Early the next morning, the Lin family hired a car to take baskets of watermelons to the hospital.

This is the first year, so Xu Qiu didn't have to worry about selling them, so Xu Qiu didn't plan to go directly to the restaurant or Xu's house to take away all the business. In that case, the price would definitely be lower, so he might as well sell it himself.Both his and Lin Qu's shops are here, they are placed outside, and they can be ready to sell after getting a name.

Because of what happened yesterday, as soon as they sold it, many people came to buy it.

If you don’t lack money, you can buy several as soon as you buy it. I heard that it can be stored in a cool and ventilated place for a month, so you can buy more.

I'm afraid that it will be gone by then, and I won't be able to buy it.

You know, the selling price is not high, and there must be many people who can buy it.

There were those who acted resolutely, and those who were still on the sidelines and didn't know the situation. Xu Qiu directly cut the watermelon into small pieces and let the onlookers taste it first.

Immediately bought more.

There is also a celebrity effect. Everyone knows that Xu Qiu's medical store sells good things, and so many rich people buy them in piles, so you must buy them quickly. If you don't buy them, you will feel like you are losing money.

If you can't buy a whole one, you will compete with others to buy half of it, and the price is about the same.

As the morning passed, more and more people came to buy watermelon, and the watermelon spread more and more widely. Lin Guangfu and Wang Shi were a little shy at the beginning, but later they have become a melon weighing machine, and they have to give it to the people who come later. How to buy this melon, how to eat it when you go back, how long it can be stored, etc.

My voice is a little hoarse.

I can't remember at all that my temper is not very good at dealing with outsiders.

Fortunately, although there are many people, it is not chaotic. No one takes the opportunity to take it randomly or refuse to pay. Sometimes there are people who help to explain how to sell it.

There is no need to worry about the sale of watermelons.

Also because of the popularity of watermelons during this period, after the county magistrate posted a notice about planting watermelons, most people had nothing to object to, except that there were too few fields at home, and they were generally willing to take out some Two plots came out to grow watermelons.Among them, how to grow watermelons, what might be encountered during the planting process, the formula of the required potion, etc., Xu Qiu did not hide anything.

All have been handed over, and it will be convenient for ordinary people to buy them in the future.

In terms of price, I believe that the county magistrate will also control it at an appropriate price.

Xu Qiu had nothing to do with the rest.

At this time, the Xu family was also distracted by another matter.

That is, his elder brother Xu Sen is getting engaged, and it may be time to get married soon.

Upon hearing this incident, Xu Qiu still felt a little unbelievable: "When did this happen, why didn't I hear anything at all?"

It felt like everything happened so suddenly.

When he heard the news, things were already settled.

Xu's father said with a smile: "It is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It is settled when the two parties are suitable. What else do you want to hear?" It's time to come out, the eldest son should have gotten married long ago.

Xu Qiu thought about what was going on, but, "Have you met each other, big brother? What does he look like, what is his personality? If two people want to live together, they have to like it." In the past, the two brothers didn't like each other. That won't work, he thought that he had to have feelings and get along for a long time before he could get married.

At least, there should be a shadow.

Father Xu said: "Don't worry, if your elder brother doesn't nod himself, no one can force him."

Xu Qiu looked at his eldest brother, and Xu Sen nodded, "It's almost suitable." He didn't feel disgusted when he saw the marriage that was mentioned first over there, and after the two parties thought about it, they agreed.

Xu's father said the identity of the other party: "That family is the daughter of a school lieutenant in the army, the one who came to contact the Xu family before."

The school lieutenant is not a small official.

Xu Qiu frowned and said, "Is it the arrogant one you mentioned?"

"Yes." Father Xu nodded.

Xu Qiu said: "Isn't that bound to the second prince?" He was already on the boat, and now he is bound to death.

The key point is that the second prince is not the final winner.

Xu's father said: "It's also tied together."

Xu Qiu: ...

There is nothing wrong with thinking so.

After asking again, I found out that the captain was the one who brought up the marriage on his own initiative. His elder brother had met the little girl once. He has a more introverted and gentle personality, and is also very beautiful. The captain dotes on his daughter very much.It is said that the other party first fell in love with his elder brother, and then the captain had no choice but to mention it.

And after that, his elder brother should join the army and work under the father-in-law.

Hearing this, Xu Qiu couldn't help but jokingly said, "Then the eldest brother will be repaired by the old man."

"That's not going to happen." Xu Sen said, with a little smile but confidently said: "He can't beat me."

Looks like it's been played...

Sure enough, it's his scheming and black-bellied elder brother, no one can let him suffer.

Although the marriage was proposed there, but the real action depends on the man's family, and the Xu family didn't delay. After making an agreement with the family, they called a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

The details are handled by Xu's father and Li's family, but it doesn't need Xu Qiu's help to do anything.

He didn't know what was going on until he listened to his parents talking at the dinner table.

The time for the official marriage was soon set, and it would take two months. During this period, the family cleaned and tidied up the house again.

So far, the three children of Xu's family, only his second brother's, has not been found yet. While handling the eldest son's marriage, Li scolded the second son at the same time, making people ashamed, like a mouse seeing a cat hide from people.
