Chapter 25 Receive them all, don’t pick and choose!
In order to facilitate loading, the villagers brought all their goods over early and piled them all on both sides of the road.
Hearing Master Dong say that he wanted to inspect the goods, the villagers got out of the way without saying a word and started random inspections.
In previous years, they were always on tenterhooks during inspections.
But this year, everyone has a straight back and no guilty conscience.
They have tasted the taste of what they grow themselves. If the quality is not up to standard, they will shut up their hoes and never farm again!
Go begging for food!
Master Dong was slightly surprised when he saw this.
A dozen days ago, he tasted the sweet potatoes and watermelons from Taoxi Village. Based on his experience, he could roughly guess the taste of these two products when they are ripe.
Are the people in Taoxi Village a little too confident?
Or are you sure that the wholesale house will accept their goods, so you dare to be so calm?
He shook his head, feeling a little unworthy of his little boss.
"Uncle, these are the sweet potatoes grown at my home. They have been washed. Do you want to try them?" Suddenly, a sweet and soft sound came from my feet.
Master Dong lowered his head and saw two little girls tied up with their heads raised and their little hands raised high, handing sweet potatoes to him.
"I recognize you, your name is Qiqi." He took the sweet potato from the baby and said with a smile, "Okay, uncle, I will try your sweet potato first."
The sweet potato in my hand is slender and well-proportioned. It can be broken into two pieces with a gentle twist of both hands. The flesh of the melon is light orange and the aroma is very light.
Master Dong smiled, it was exactly as he predicted.
Then he brought the sweet potato to his mouth and took a bite. With the crunching sound, Master Dong's smile paused.
It's sweet, much sweeter than he expected, but it's not the overly sweet kind with high sugar content. It has a pure melon-sweet taste, and it's fragrant when you chew it!
After finishing the whole sweet potato, he unbelievingly checked several sacks on the roadside and found that the taste of each one was far better than he expected!
How is this possible? What I ate more than ten days ago still tasted ordinary...
Qiqi tilted her head, and while he was dazed, she pointed at the watermelons that were as beautiful as green emeralds in the basket on the roadside, "Uncle, the watermelons in our village are also delicious. Every one of them is delicious."
"..." Master Dong looked at those melons, and then at the little kid who was smiling with crooked eyes. He suddenly became less confident in his years of accumulated experience in estimation.
He coughed lightly, and amid the enthusiastic smiles of the villagers, he casually pointed to one of the baskets, "Let's pick one out and try it."
Soon, the watermelon he picked was cut in front of him.
Different from the light aroma of sweet potato, as soon as watermelon is broken open, the fragrance immediately overflows in the air. Take a strong breath and the air inhaled seems to be sweet.
The color of the melon sac is also very beautiful red, the melon juice is full, and the skin is very thin.
When the melon meat was bitten into his mouth, Master Dong didn't say a word. He waved his hand and said, "Weigh the sweet potatoes! Count the watermelons! Register them one by one from door to door and load them into the truck! Collect them all!"
After doing fruit and vegetable evaluation for many years, this was his first encounter with Waterloo.
But, happy sliding!
No wonder Miss Song Song Yueliang was able to rise to the status of a new wealthy person in Huicheng in just a few years. Her vision and courage are far beyond the reach of ordinary people like him!
Impressed!
As for Taoxi Village, the villagers are excited again!
Receive them all!
Don’t pick and choose!
This means that every drop of their sweat in the fields this year has been in vain!
"Mother-in-law, let's carry the sweet potatoes over here!" Qiqi ran to Zhang Xifeng with a bright smile on her face and said crisply.
Zhang Xifeng was so amused that she narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, lift the sweet potatoes! Let Uncle Chen and the others help lift them! We'll wait nearby to put them on the scale!"
The villagers laughed in good faith and volunteered to help without any need to say hello.
Next to the truck, the middle-aged man who came with Master Dong was responsible for checking the scale and registering.
There are also several on-board staff who are responsible for packing the registered sweet potatoes and watermelons into boxes one by one and loading them onto the vehicle.
They are very orderly here, and the Taoxi Village side is no less generous.
The villagers lined up automatically, without rushing or making noise, and came one by one.
Master Dong watched this scene and nodded secretly. When he first received the notice to come down to help collect the goods, he actually complained a little.
Now, he started to enjoy interacting with the people of Taoxi Village.
"Uncle, there is a small bamboo chair here. If you are tired, you can sit down and rest for a while."
The familiar sweet voice sounded again at Master Dong's feet.
He lowered his head, and the little girl held a small bamboo chair and placed it next to him. Her cute and sensible appearance was very endearing.
Behind the little girl, there were two little boys with tough heads and big heads, each holding something in their hands.
"Uncle, this is cold water. If you are thirsty, just take a few sips!" A little boy handed him a military kettle.
"Uncle, this is the corn my family cooked in the morning. I'll give it to you if you're hungry!" A little boy handed him the corn.
Master Dong is neither thirsty nor hungry. He just ate a lot of sweet potatoes and watermelons, and his stomach is still full.
But the children in the village are smart enough to iron clothes, so people can't bear to refuse their kindness.
Master Dong sat down with a kettle in one hand and a corn cob in the other. There was a tree above his head for shade, and the mountain breeze on the roadside provided coolness.
This kind of treatment is top-notch compared to the colleagues who are so busy next to the truck that they hit the back of the head with their feet.
Master Dong squinted his eyes and smiled.
The next moment, the little girl's sweet voice sounded again, timidly, "Uncle, my sweet potatoes have been weighed, and they weigh a total of 7,123 kilograms."
The two boys put their heads in front of him for fear that he would not see them.
"And in my house, we have 10.9 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 3,976 watermelons!"
"My sweet potatoes weigh 9,960 pounds and watermelons weigh 4,008 pounds!"
The three children had their heads lined up in rows in front of Master Dong, all looking at him eagerly.
Master Dong, "..."
I understand, what kind of top-notch treatment, co-author is afraid that he will borrow money and urge him to settle the bill!
Master Dong grinded his teeth first, then tapped the heads of three children with his finger, and asked the villagers lining up over there, "Whose children are these three? They are really three clever little guys!"
Later, the villagers of Taoxi Village saw this scene and had already suppressed their laughter and blushed.
"Okay, you have already put on the scale and registered, come to my place to settle the bill!" Master Dong was amused, so he simply took the registered ledger and settled the bill on the spot.
It was not easy to earn food from the fields, and he did not intend to embarrass the farmers.
Besides, this time, the little boss allocated enough money for him.
When they heard that the bill was being paid, the people who had already registered hurriedly gathered around and still lined up in front of Master Dong. However, at this moment, everyone's faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy.
The three little ones successfully retreated and quietly retreated to the rear.
Hua Zi and Li Goudan secretly gave Qiqi a thumbs up, "Qiqi, I really have you! I really paid for it!"
Qi Qi's little face turned red, but her eyes were bright, and she was a little proud, "I have sold things before, so I have experience."
"No wonder you are so good at collecting payments! It turns out you have experience!"
"No..." Xiao Qiqi's face turned redder and her eyes evaded, "It's not the experience of collecting money, it's the experience of being credited..."
