Chapter 339 339. Do you eat pig trotters?
The vegetable market became lively again in the evening.
Those who had just gotten off work, those who were taking their dogs for a walk, and those who were fully equipped and ready for walking and fitness... The wind by the river was blowing leisurely, bringing with it the heat and humidity of summer, and several young men and women whizzed past on electric bicycles. When the car stopped, I looked left and right, but I couldn't find any place where people were gathering.
Look at the watermelon sellers here - this one is an old man, this one is a young man, and this one is an aunt... none of them belong to the shopkeepers!
Not to mention that the spot where Xiaobo’s pickup truck used to park is now occupied by someone carrying a basket of peaches.
Everyone looked left and right, and finally looked at the brooding boss next to him at the counter, and asked cautiously:
“Boss, please ask, the little girl here who often sells vegetables and drives a pickup truck, is she not here today?”
“Yeah,” someone behind him muttered anxiously: “Didn’t I say watermelons are on sale today? Have you bought any in your mini program?”
“Too expensive.”
“I’m not willing to place an order online, so I’m going to come over and try it first…”
Watermelon, what watermelon?
The owner of the braised goods was excited, remembering the balance that flew out of his bank card. Now he looked at the six small watermelons at his feet. He didn't know how to reimburse his wife at home, so he said sadly: "You guys are late. Yes, it’s already sold out.”
What?
“Didn’t you say you’ll be at the vegetable market at 5:00? It didn’t say 5 o’clock, it seemed like it said five or six o’clock, maybe 5 o’clock or 6 o’clock…”
“Didn’t we come a little after 6 o’clock? Why are we gone?”
Seeing the anxious expressions on several people's faces, for some reason, the owner of the braised goods suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart -
Look, I can buy the watermelon that you can’t buy!
This somewhat soothed his mood of losing money today, so he said angrily: "I came before 5:30. There were people waiting in line here before I came. In half an hour, a cart of melons was sold out. "
In fact, this is just because everyone took a while to weigh and select, plus when they were tasting the watermelons, they were pushing each other... If a few policemen from the nearby police station hadn't come over and walked around twice, there might have been a quarrel.
However, even though there were so many distractions, when the young police officers returned happily holding a small melon egg, the girl simply closed the bucket, sold the goods and left directly.
Now if these young men and women who are hesitating come here again, they will not be able to eat the car exhaust.
The owner of the braised goods got excited when he thought about this:
“There are no more melons, do you want braised pig’s trotters? My marinade is so authentic!”
“If you want to buy it, I’ll show you the melons I bought.”
The young girl in front of me was not fooled: "Boss, are you going to show me the melons or sell them to me?"
Resale...that will cost extra!
The boss looked at the young man in front of him and thought that melons were so expensive. If he really knew how to buy them, he would have placed an order on the mini program long ago. They probably wouldn’t be able to add much.
So he said: "Of course I want you to take a look."
四～～～
Several people dispersed in a hurry.
After taking two steps, the leading girl turned back:
“Forget it, I told my mother to buy watermelon. I can’t go back empty-handed if I haven’t bought anything—give me two of these braised pig’s trotters.”
“Okay!”
The owner of the braised pork trotters beamed with joy: "Let me tell you, my braised pig trotters are extremely soft and tender when eaten in tropical soup! They melt in your mouth in one bite!"
“If it’s cold, the muscles will become chewy and the skin and meat will be chewy! It’s fragrant!”
"But if you put it in the air fryer and fry it for another three to five minutes, my goodness, it will taste delicious! The skin is chewy, and the meat inside is hot, not greasy at all, and not soft at all. The taste is perfect for drinking, and it’s perfect for a ball game or a movie in the evening! ”
“Furthermore, if you can carry it into a movie theater in your bag, turn off the lights, turn on the big screen, and nibble on it yourself, and everyone in the movie theater will smell the scent, then you can’t say that you are very good at it?”
Good guy!
Bringing pig trotters into the cinema, the boss is so unethical!
But...suck it...I really want to...
As soon as the others left, the boss pulled out the calculator and found that six big pig's trotters were worth two melons.
He thought for a while and simply put all the melons on the counter.…
Here, Song Tan finished work early and had already pulled the car to the nearby Fengfeng Express.
She selected these large, underripe melons one by one, which were perfect for express delivery.
It's a pity that if you don't get it from Brother Zhang, the express delivery price will be much more expensive.
However, Brother Zhang only delivers goods once every afternoon, but this time Xiao Zhu is in a hurry and will send them out today - luckily she pays for the express delivery.
Thinking about it this way, Song Tan felt relieved.
The courier of Fengfeng Express was busy recording orders. When he saw someone coming, he just pointed:
“Sending express delivery? What is it?”
He just asked subconsciously, but he didn't expect that the young man behind him would directly hold a round watermelon in his arms:
“Send a lot of watermelons.”
The courier boy was stunned.
It took him a long time to react: "Send watermelon?"
The words are full of incredible.
Song Tan nodded: "Can it be packed? But it cannot be broken."
This Fengfeng Express Station is quite large and has a complete range of items. The young man hesitated: "Yes, there is. It's just the express fee. Air freight is not cheap..."
You can’t buy watermelon anywhere now, it’s really not possible.
Song Tan waved his hand: "It's okay. As long as we can send it out tonight."
“Of course it can!”
Song Tan pointed to the back seat of his car: "There are 20 in total, please pack them."
Courier boy:…
The rich people these days have so many eccentricities and do so many strange things!
After all this fuss, by the time it was time to actually deliver the watermelon, the sky was already a little dark.
Song Tan asked Qiao Qiao: "Are you hungry?"
Qiaoqiao opened the bag on her chest: "Cucumber!"
Okay, there is still water. The two siblings each touched a cucumber and gnawed it. Ultraman Zero was placed in the back seat of the car behind Qiao Qiao, and he obviously didn't love him that much.
After finishing eating a cucumber, Song Tan also came to the downstairs of his aunt’s house:
“There are three big melons in total. Can I hold two of them while you hold one?”
Qiaoqiao said arrogantly: "I can hold two!"
Song Tan: "...Okay, you can hold two of them."
She reached out to catch one and went straight upstairs.
Auntie received the call and had been waiting at home for a long time. Now when she saw someone coming, she couldn't help but sigh:
“Tell me, watermelons are so expensive at this time. You have to sell them before they are on the market to make more money! If you really want to give them away, why don’t you wait until the weather gets hot? It’s hard to sell melons at that time.”
After all, he can quickly pick up a few melons in his hand.
Song Tan liked her aunt's straightforward character, and she laughed: "It's okay, aunt, I want you to try the first melon."
To tell you the truth, I went to air-fry the leftover braised pig trotters for five minutes in the middle of writing...it was delicious! !
Thank you all for your support last month! Today I entered the annual list (for the first time in history!)
I will work hard this month! (Except for Chinese New Year...)
Everyone, I will continue to work hard when I finish the update.
