After a brief conversation, Wang Xiong hurriedly drove off in his Mercedes. He needed to return to Jianghe City immediately to arrange for transportation of watermelons. Before leaving, Wang Xiong purchased two large watermelons, as a well-known professor in the agricultural field was scheduled to hold a meeting at his hotel in a few days. Wang Xiong planned to treat the expert with these watermelons.
The two big watermelons cost nearly eight yuan. This time, Wang Xiong was quite straightforward, paying the money and leaving without delay. Watching the roaring vehicle disappear from sight, Chen Xuan couldn't help but clench his fists in excitement. The ten thousand yuan was finally within reach. He had taken a significant step forward in his plan.
In Chen Xuan's initial vision, he intended to spend some time starting with twenty acres of watermelon fields, gradually accumulating experience and funds before expanding the farm's scale. It was meant to be a long process, and Chen Xuan was prepared for a prolonged struggle. However, he never expected that after an unexpected dream, he would leap forward so significantly!
With ten thousand yuan in hand, there were countless things Chen Xuan could do. He was eager to start implementing his plans! Thinking of this, he wished he could return to the watermelon field immediately and wait for Wang Xiong's arrival.
"Mom, I want to eat watermelon!" "Okay! Mom will buy it for you!" At that moment, a female tourist approached Chen Xuan's tricycle with a little boy. Seeing this, Chen Xuan thought it would be fine to finish this deal before leaving.
"Boss, I'll take half a watermelon, thirty-one jin. Why is your watermelon so expensive?" the female tourist exclaimed in shock as she looked at the price written on Chen Xuan's signboard.
Chen Xuan smiled and replied, "These are watermelons I grew myself; they taste really good. You'll know once you try them."
"They can't be that good at such a high price," the female tourist muttered. She hesitated to spend so much on an expensive watermelon, but when she looked down at her son's eager expression, her heart softened.
"Alright, let's get a piece." The Female Tourist took out her phone, planning to buy just one slice for her son, deciding not to have any for herself.
"Okay," Chen Xuan smiled, saying nothing more as he cut a slice of watermelon for the Female Tourist.
He weighed it casually—eight yuan and nine cents.
"Just give me eight yuan," Chen Xuan said.
"That's really expensive," the Female Tourist complained. After scanning the payment code, she took the watermelon and handed it to her son.
At that moment, as the watermelon brushed against her nose, the Female Tourist caught a whiff of its incredibly fragrant scent, making her swallow involuntarily.
"It smells so good! I haven't eaten anything this morning!"
Almost instinctively, the Female Tourist took back the slice she had intended for her son. With a playful smile, she said, "Sweetie, Mommy hasn't eaten yet this morning. Let me have a bite!"
"Sure, Mommy! Go ahead!" The little boy nodded firmly, his eyes sparkling with cuteness.
"So obedient!" The Female Tourist smiled indulgently before gently biting into the watermelon.
"Mmm!"
Her eyes widened in surprise; her delicate brows shot up in disbelief as she exclaimed, "This is so delicious!"
"Xiaohua, what's wrong?" Just then, a group of cheerful tourists approached from behind, followed by four or five children.
"Oh, you’re here!"
Xiaohua quickly took a few more bites of the watermelon and smiled contentedly before saying, "You have to buy this watermelon! It's so sweet and juicy; I've never had such delicious watermelon in my life!"
"Watermelon?"
The tourists instinctively glanced at the Tricycle and then spotted the thirty-one-pound cardboard sign.
"No way! Thirty-one pounds?!"
"This watermelon is too expensive!"
"Xiaohua, are you being scammed?"
The crowd buzzed with chatter.
"It's not expensive at all." Xiaohua took another bite of the watermelon and hurriedly added, "Trust me, this watermelon is really tasty. You'll know once you try it."
"Really?" A few tourists exchanged glances and ultimately chose the watermelon.
"Boss, I'll have a slice of watermelon."
"Give me a slice too."
"I'll take two slices."
Soon, several fragrant slices of deep red watermelon were handed to them. They took hesitant bites, and their eyes widened in surprise.
"Hahaha! I didn't lie to you, did I?" Xiao Hua laughed proudly and then took a big bite of the watermelon in her hand.
"Huh?"
"Why does it taste different?"
Xiao Hua looked down at her watermelon in shock and realized that she had devoured the entire slice, leaving only a thin layer of green rind in her hand.
"Mom, where's my watermelon?" The little boy looked at Xiao Hua with a pitiful expression.
"Hahaha! I'll buy you another one!" Xiao Hua smiled apologetically and turned to Chen Xuan. "Boss, give me another one! No, make it a whole watermelon. I want to take it home!"
"I'll have one too!"
"I want two!"
"I'll take one and half a watermelon to eat right now!"
Seeing Xiao Hua buy more watermelon, the other tourists followed suit, surrounding Chen Xuan to buy watermelons—one for you, two for me.
The crisp sound of mobile payment notifications rang out, leaving nearby passing tourists momentarily stunned.
They looked utterly bewildered.
