Chapter 88 Eat melon seeds, grab melon seeds, and everyone works together to rent a stall

This time, Wan Hu didn't answer. He only glanced at her thoughtfully and said, "I'm not a catcher after all. If someone was behind those two just now, I'm afraid they will come again, and my jurisdiction doesn't include them either." If we’re not here, I’m afraid I’ll have more ambition than strength in the future…”

"Master Hu, you misunderstood."

"Oh?"

She explained: "I think what you just said is very reasonable. I want to rent a stall nearby. This is not my first time. I have no experience, so I want to ask you for a favor."

"That's it..." Wan Hu breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile returned to his face. He was about to reach out and take it, but paused again, showing a hesitant look, "Um, it's not that I look down on you. You see, you just entered the city. It’s been more than a month, and you’re selling small things like this for twenty or thirty cents. Are you sure you can afford the rent?”

"I wonder how much it is exactly?"

"As I said before, the better it is, the more expensive it will be. I think this is your first time renting, so there is no need to spend a lot of money. Why not try the water first? It costs about ten taels a month, and the deposit is twenty taels. The function is to help you reserve the stall, that is, you will still be given priority next month, and only if you are sure you don’t want it will it be given to others.”

Twelve...

Although Duan Qingqiu had a premonition that it would not be too cheap, he was still slightly shocked when he heard this number.

But thinking about Xiao Xia's rough calculation last night, she felt confident again.

"Okay, then let's rent one for ten liang first."

She pressed the money bag into Wan Hu's hand and made a fist: "Please!"

pat, pat.

Xiao Xia sat at the table politely, squinting her eyes, and carefully fiddled with the abacus beads she just got.

There was a plate of fried melon seeds in the middle of the table, and the other three people each had a handful and were enjoying themselves.

"It's so delicious. No wonder it's so expensive." Xiaodong was not very good at it at first, but now he's getting better and better with it.

"What's the point? Wait until I find the spices some other time and fry them at home. It'll be even more delicious than this." Duan Qingqiu drank gracefully and ferociously.

The shell teeth gently opened a small opening, and with a quick lick of the pink tongue, the plump sweet potato kernels were swept away.

After a while, a thick layer of crust accumulated under my feet.

She glanced at Ah Zhi for a moment, and was stunned for the next moment.

Men peeled it off with their hands.

The slender white fingertips are very flexible, and their speed is not much inferior to hers.

The plate was already piled full of clusters.

The skins of melon seeds were not thrown on the ground, but were piled up next to them in the same order as the meat.

During the whole process, he didn't take a bite, he just peeled it silently.

After peeling it all off, take out the square handkerchief, wipe your fingers clean, and then enjoy it slowly.

When enjoying it, I didn't use my hands. Instead, I found a spoon from somewhere, scooped out a few pieces, put them in my mouth, and chewed them slowly.

Duan Qingqiu studied it carefully and confirmed that the spoon was a coarse porcelain spoon used for drinking soup at home.

If it were her, one spoonful would probably scoop out half the plate of melon seeds.

This man is really tolerant!

She couldn't help but secretly admire her.

I admire you, but you still have to do some unkind things.

She also went to the kitchen to fetch a spoon, sneaked back quietly, raised it abruptly, and performed a trick of fishing for the moon in the water.

Boom!

The two spoons collided and the plate was immediately mostly empty.

Duan Qingqiu was afraid that the other party would snatch it back, so he couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth. He couldn't say anything for a long time.

Azhi, on the other hand, glanced back and forth between his spoon and plate, then raised his gaze and looked at the woman.

Seemed stunned.

"Hehe... I will give it back to you, don't be angry."

She spoke inarticulately, her round eyes curved into crescent moons, and she obviously thought this was a very interesting thing.

Perhaps he felt that the man was a little pitiful when he was so stunned. Duan Qingqiu kept his word and started peeling melon seeds with a mouth full of them.

She didn't peel it off so quickly. She just piled a little bit on top of it and immediately asked the other party to scoop it up.

"You eat it in one go just like I just did, it's so good!"

"...pleasant?" Ah Zhi blinked.

"Ahem, it just means it's very comfortable. Just give it a try."

Xiaodong noticed people coming and going around here, and came over: "Sister, brother Azhi, I also want to..."

Before he finished speaking, the man raised his head boldly.

All the melon seeds in the spoon were gone.

Xiaodong: "..."

Duan Qingqiu patted his brother's head and motioned for him to peel it off himself, then asked the man: "How is it? Does it taste good? Does it feel different?"

After a moment, Ah Zhi swallowed the food in his mouth and replied: "Yeah, it tastes delicious, different."

"Hey, you heard me right!"

She happily continued to eat melon seeds, and then looked at her sister, oh, she was still playing with them slowly one by one.

"Xiao Xia, the beads in our abacus are made of wood, not jade. Why are you so nervous? At your rate, when will you be able to calculate the accounts for me?"

"Come on, come on..." The little girl's fingers trembled, "I, this is the first time I have touched an abacus. I...sister, I..."

I was so excited that I could hardly speak.

Duan Qingqiu sighed and shook his head.

That's it, the child is still young, and this kind of reaction is normal. Who has never had an unbelievable time when their dreams come true? Fortunately, the moon is full tonight and the melon seeds are fragrant, so just give it a little more time.

After repeated calculations, the second sister told her again with data.

As long as everything is normal, the rent of ten taels of silver is actually nothing to worry about.

"So what do you mean, do you all support my decision?"

Xiaoxia held an abacus in her arms: "When I go to the rented stall, the business should be busier than now. I will have more accounts to settle by then, which is good."

Xiaodong was still eating melon seeds, and her speech was unclear, but the meaning was clear.

No matter what the eldest sister wants to do, he will follow her, no matter how hard or tired she is!

Duan Qingqiu looked at Ah Zhi and raised his eyebrows: "What do you think? You also pay for the rent."

The man pushed the small plate filled with melon seeds over again, and his tone was still so cold: "Here you go."

Very good, this means I don't care at all.

"Okay." She slapped the table, "Then let's go and try to sell out all the remaining 500 kilograms of pears!"

"What happens after it's sold out?"

"Sell out early, rest early, prepare New Year's goods, and wait for the Chinese New Year."

"Good!"

Now, everyone has a head start.

At the same time, a group of people were rushing towards the village.

"They said it was too late, but no one listened to me." The Li family's daughter-in-law complained with a grimace while rubbing her sore calf.

Aunt Zhang's eyes rolled up: "What are you talking about here now? You were busy looking around at that time. How did you say you were going back early?"
