Chapter 319
Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously adjusting the position of Zero on his back, and then said:
"Then you pick. But be careful and handle them gently; these melons are very sensible. If you use too much force, they'll break."
The girl was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Really? Are they all 'repaying-kindness' melons? Alright then, I'll take those two big ones on the side. You weigh them first, then tell me how the melons break just by touching them."
As she spoke, she flicked her middle finger against the round watermelon, giving it a crisp tap!

"Pop!"
The next moment, the melon split open with a "crack."
Everyone:...
There was silence all around.
The air was filled with the unique sweet fragrance of watermelon, fresh and crisp, as if the hot summer wind had quieted down.
Qiaoqiao was also dumbfounded, holding the plastic bag and looking at her hesitantly: "The melon is broken, then... are you still buying it?"
"Buy, buy, buy!"
The girl reacted instantly and nodded impatiently. She had been roaming melon stalls for ten or twenty years, but this was the first time she had bought such a sensible melon!
Why hesitate! This must be a good melon she had saved in a past life!
This commotion made the whole atmosphere of selling melons exceptionally heated.
The customers who had originally only ordered one melon and were still hesitating and feeling the heartache when they arrived, remembered the sweet fragrance just now and became even more conflicted—
Since they were already here, should they buy one more?
Since they were already buying, should they pick two big ones?
Reason told them: these melons aren't even that big, and they cost over a hundred yuan each; isn't this too extravagant?
But emotion was shouting a hundred times: their family's things are just different! Even the fragrance of the melon is different!
The little person in their heart was jumping back and forth. Finally, the man in line came to Qiaoqiao and asked—
"How about you let me have a taste first! It smells so good!"
Everyone:...
Fortunately, the man reacted instantly:
"I mean, I mean—what if this melon isn't sweet? Can you open one so I can taste it first? Then I'll pick the size."
Qiaoqiao hadn't experienced this kind of situation before, looked back, and said disappointedly: "But we were so careful driving here, and the straw was padded very thick. What should we do if there are no broken melons?"
Song Tan was amused: "It's okay, I'll just open one."
Then she took a look at the pile of melons, picked one that was about ripe, patted it with her palm, and the melon "cracked" into two halves.
Another exclamation came from the crowd: "How are all the melons so good?!"
"Oh my, this must be naturally ripened, so sweet and fragrant!"
"Quick, quick, I want to taste one too!"
"Boss, don't worry, I'll buy a big one after tasting!"
Song Tan thought: Once you taste it, you won't be able to run away.
But her face remained honest and simple: "It's okay, it's all thanks to everyone's support, tasting a melon is nothing."
As she spoke, she found a disposable spoon from the snack stall owner next to her: "Come, everyone who wants to taste, take a spoonful, but don't take too much, give everyone behind a chance."
Everyone rushed forward, swearing: "Don't worry, we aren't that kind of people!"
A moment later—
"You in front, haven't you already eaten? Hurry up!"
"That's right! Are you buying or not? Don't block us from tasting first."
The man gave a silly smile: "Well, I didn't taste the difference just now, let me have another spoonful, this one will definitely work."
"Huh?" Qiaoqiao took it seriously: "Is the watermelon so delicious that you couldn't taste it?"
The other party also nodded solemnly, then took the spoon Qiaoqiao handed over and swore: "Don't worry, I'll just taste one spoonful!"
After a while.
He sighed again: "How about... I try again! This pulp is quite crisp, I used to like eating sandy pulp."
Everyone realized what was happening and was furious: "Good for you! Shameless!"
"Exactly, that one spoonful of yours is clearly a billion spoonfuls!"
"You're lying to a child!"
Qiaoqiao finally reacted, but he wasn't angry at all; instead, he laughed, his fair face full of childishness:
"Then you don't have to eat it! It's okay if you don't buy it, I'm not angry."
Who could resist this?!
Not to mention that this watermelon had made him use his "thick-skinned" technique!
Only to hear the man shout: "I want five! Big ones!"
Then his body swayed and he was squeezed out of the line: "I don't care how many you want, go buy them over there after tasting! It's my turn!"
Good heavens, this one was clearly prepared. He took the spoon and scooped down hard! A large piece of watermelon was dug out, trembling, making everyone behind him envious.
A moment later—
"I want three... forget it, four, pick the big ones for me!"
The braised goods boss secretly squeezed into the line, and it took a long time before it was his turn.
And at this moment, the large watermelon in Qiaoqiao's hand had already been dug until the white rind was visible, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But at this moment, he still took the spoon and carefully dug out the red pulp from the side.
One bite—woo woo woo!!! That was a refreshing sweetness that almost blew the top of his head off!
He had never eaten anything so delicious in his life.
The braised goods boss had tears in his eyes.
He finally understood why they asked for such a high price and why they were so popular; they deserved to get rich!
Now, it was a pity that he was going to lose money!
While waiting in line, he thought that the melons weren't big anyway, so picking a small three-jin melon and spending sixty yuan to be extravagant was acceptable.
But after this bite, he only had one thought in his head—
"Give me three big ones!"
One for his own family, one for his parents, and one for his parents-in-law.
"Ah," Qiaoqiao looked at the few remaining watermelons in the back of the truck with some hesitation and said regretfully: "There are no big ones left!"
Everyone said they wanted big ones after tasting the melon, picking from the largest seven or eight jin down to six or seven jin, and finally even the five-jin ones were all picked. The remaining ones really couldn't be called big anymore.
Braised goods boss:?!!!
How could this be!
But looking up, sure enough!
On the thick golden straw lay fashionable little melons that were emerald green with stripes; at a glance, they definitely didn't exceed five jin.
There was a large pile of those small three-jin melons he had thought about earlier.
But... but for such a delicious melon, is three jin enough for him to show off a few bites?
Qiaoqiao was considerate: "Do you want to buy six small ones?"
The braised goods boss was unwilling: "There's too much rind, it's not cost-effective..."
Qiaoqiao was anxious and quickly said loudly: "How could it not be cost-effective? The extra rind can be used for salad, it's super, super, super delicious! Just as delicious as the watermelon!"
What?
Everyone immediately crowded over: "Really? Is there a recipe? Tell us quickly!"
Qiaoqiao:... The students in front of him talk too much, they don't seem as smart as the ones in the livestream room; he really still likes the students in the livestream room.
But, as a teacher, there's no choice!
Teacher Qiaoqiao had to talk while selling melons!
