Chapter 164: Roadside watermelons (2/2)

Having exited the twists and turns of the village, just as Ye Qing was about to get on the highway and head for Zhongyun, a roadside stall made him stop suddenly.

This roadside stall was placed right under a blooming tree, with a bed of dried grass and a poster board showing its wares.

Family farm watermelons, 1.50/lb.

Watermelons in Zhongyun right now were sold at 2-3/lb, but this wasn’t the reason why Ye Qing stopped.

Beside the pile of delicious looking watermelons, was a girl in Zhongyun University uniform, sitting there with a hand fan.

Seeing this junior sitting there selling watermelons, Ye Qing couldn’t not support her.

Which was why Ye Qing turned on the emergency lights, parked on the edge of the road, and went out with the wallet DouDou bought for him.

“Are you looking to buy watermelons?” The girl in her fading uniform, seeing a masculine Benz stop by, hurriedly stood up and asked with smiles.

Ye Qing smiled back. This girl looked to be in her early 20s and seemed quite gentle.

“Are these all from your family farm?” Ye Qing patted a watermelon and the echo was very crisp.

“Yes sir. Right now is the perfect time for watermelons, and I guarantee that they’re all sweet.”

Ye Qing randomly picked one up and handed it to her: “Cut it open and I’ll give it a try.”

“Um…… will you be able to finish it all?” The girl asked hesitantly.

“I’ll take it to go if I can’t finish it. Go weigh it. If it’s good, I’m probably going to buy more.”

Coming in at 7 Lbs, Ye Qing tried two pieces, and they truly weren’t bad.

Coincidentally, the two tailer beds also arrived at this time. Ye Qing waved for them to stop and invited the drivers to enjoy some refreshing melons with him.

Ye Qing knelt down beside the road as he continued to eat his watermelon and chat with her. However, this girl always kept an eye out, only when Ye Qing mentioned that he was a graduate from the University of Zhongyun did she finally realize.

And with this connection, the words came flowing out like a flooding river.

From the small talk, this girl was called Yu Sisi, who just finished her first year. These watermelons were all from her farm, as universities were now promoting startups, hence this stall of hers.

Yu Sisi never spoke a word about her family’s situation, but from what she was wearing alone, Ye Qing was able to easily guess that it wasn’t so good.

Ye Qing then asked her how many watermelons her family farmed, and got the reply that it was only 2 hectares of these seeded watermelons. The watermelons brokers considered it too unprofitable to drive to their farm and pick it all up, which was why she would pick some out and sell it here for a couple hundred a day.

Only 2 hectares……

Ye Qing didn’t know just how many watermelons a hectare contained, but it was probably not a lot.

“How about this. I just so happen to have two trucks here, so I want all of your family’s watermelons. It’s a good thing that I can treat all my employees on such a humid day.”

“Errr…… that’s more than ten thousand pounds.” Yu Sisi shockingly looked at this senior of hers: “There’s no way you can finish all of this. Senior, you don’t have to be so kind to me.”

“I’ll buy no matter who it’s from. Plus, if it weren’t for these watermelons, I would’ve totally forgotten to treat my employees.” Ye Qing pulled out 5000 in cash from his wallet and handed it to her: “This is the down payment, so go find people to pick for you. If you’ve got family who still has some, I want it too. You can also take this chance to be an dealer agent, and you can fill these two trucks as much as you like.”

“As for the price, keep it at 1.50. I’ve got many employees, so there’s many ways for me to split them.”

Ye Qing did some quick calculations. He had several hundred workers at the office and the old factory had even more. The monsters at the factory, although could be unsummoned to rest, they could still eat. Just the appetite of the Raging Miners alone was enough to exterminate all of these watermelons.

“But but, if it’s the watermelon dealers were to come, the price would be even cheaper.” Yu Sisi found all of this quite hard to believe.

Just as Ye Qing thought, Yu Sisi family’s situation wasn’t fine whatsoever. But no matter how she thought, she still wasn’t able to understand why this unfamiliar senior was this willing.

“No buts, just this price. If I were to buy in Zhongyun, it’ll definitely be higher.”

Having finished, Ye Qing called over the two drivers and had them go with her to collect the watermelons. When the final price had been calculated, they would give him a call and he would wire everything over.

The two drivers promptly pledged that they would only leave when the trucks were completely full.

“Senior, thank you. Thank you so much.” Sparkling tears twinkled down Yu Sisi’s face, who hurriedly tried to wipe them away with her sleeve.
