Chapter 384: 384. Large-scale melon-eating scene_1 Chapter 384: 384. Large-scale melon-eating scene_1 “No, no!” the classmates hurriedly said, “The watermelon just cracked because it’s too good.”

“Do you smell that? The scent is real!”

“Exactly, Qianqian, we didn’t expect you to spend so much…”

Having said that, everyone came back to their senses and looked at Wa Qianqian with a mix of emotions–

You spoke so sharply in the group chat, being all passive-aggressive, and you made everyone misunderstand. Who would have thought you were really willing to spend money to support an old classmate’s business…

2000 yuan! That’s not a small amount!

This reminder made everyone feel somewhat embarrassed about the previous misunderstanding.

Wa Qianqian, however, didn’t realize this and simply heard what they said, then replied with a shy smile,

“You all know I spent 2000 yuan on a watermelon? Well, it’s been a long time since we met, it’s really nothing much.”

“Mainly because Song Tan raves about how delicious her family’s watermelons are, as if they’re unmatched on earth… So I just wanted everyone to try them, right?”

Then she looked at Song Tan with a half-smile, “Song Tan, if your watermelon doesn’t taste good later, it’s going to be difficult for us old classmates to support your business in the future.”

Song Tan glanced at the two guys who were wiping the watermelon with a napkin, getting ready to cut it, and now even her smile was extremely modest,

“No worries, you’ll know once you try it.”

The guys about to cut the watermelon were also considerate, “Come on, let’s call all the children in. The melon is not too cold, it’s perfect for them to eat now.”

The 5-jin melon wasn’t very big, and the male classmate, with swift and efficient movements, quickly sliced it into thin triangular pieces, his actions especially nimble.

This surprised the other classmates, “Your knife skills aren’t bad at all!”

The man put away the watermelon knife and modestly said, “It’s nothing, my family runs a home restaurant–if my old classmates need anything, just contact me! I’ll definitely give you a discount!”

Song Tan had her eyes opened too.

How should I put it? Today’s young people are really lively, cheerful, and generous–just like me!

She smiled, watching everyone take a slice, and couldn’t help but look forward to their reactions.

Sure enough, as soon as a slice of watermelon entered her mouth, the little girl standing in the front with her pigtails pointing to the sky immediately exclaimed, “Mom, this watermelon is so delicious!”

Next to her, the mother, already stuffing the remaining piece of watermelon into her mouth, had her cheeks bulging, juice seeping out, and she hurriedly wiped it off with a napkin in distress…

It took her a while to reply to her daughter, “It is indeed delicious.”

Only then did everyone else react, eyeing the remaining pile of watermelon with evident desire,

“That’s what we’re saying, no wonder Song Tan’s watermelons sell for 20 yuan a jin, with this taste, they’re really tribute-quality!”

Song Tan modestly said, “It’s okay, the cost of cultivation is also high, and the price of 20 yuan barely covers it… It’s because it’s my first year doing this that I have to break into the market.”

That sounded so fake!

Wa Qianqian didn’t believe it at all.

But she chewed her food, savoring the sweet taste from before, and found herself unable to utter any words of rebuttal–

So frustrating!

She puffed her cheeks and glared fiercely at Song Tan. However, the classmates no longer paid her any attention, their focus was on the few pieces of watermelon left in the bowl,

“It’s been soaking for a few minutes now, too cold, not good for health…”

“Let’s just eat it like this…”

“Agreed. Watermelon is supposed to be cool anyway…”

And the children whined, “Mommy/Daddy, I want more…”

Alright, everyone agreed unanimously, and the boy skilled with a knife swiftly grabbed two more melons.

This time no one even bothered with formalities, grabbing a slice like kids lining up in kindergarten, and stuffing it into their mouths!

Yum yum yum, so delicious!!!

“…it’s just not enough!”

Twenty old classmates, and the watermelon was only enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. Everyone turned their heads again, looking at the small pile in the corner.

When the last of that small pile had also been moved onto the table, the class president let out a pained choke, “Song Tan, oh Song Tan, what am I to do? After eating melons like these, who could want those mediocre ones!”

Song Tan’s reply was also sincere, “No, we still need to think about it. Those mediocre ones are cheaper.”

So true!

Everyone’s hearts were so full they felt like they would cry.

“I don’t care!” the class president stuffed the last bite into his mouth, “Tomorrow I’m going to your house to help harvest rice, I want to buy 10 of these melons before I leave!”

“Right! I want to buy too!”

“Damn, if you all go, what about me–Song Tan, are these watermelons for sale in the market?”

“They are,” Song Tan answered, looking slightly embarrassed:

“We also have an online store and local group buying. How about… I send you all the link?”

She looked like an honest old farmer, shy to speak of business, “Otherwise, sometimes when we’re out of stock, I have to individually notify everyone…”

Who wouldn’t be tempted at that moment?!

The entire private room was filled with the sounds of scanning QR codes and asking for links.

Wa Qianqian stood there alone, feeling that the melon in her mouth had lost its sweetness–what was this?

This was grudgingly parting with two thousand bucks, to dress someone else up for their wedding!

“Ahem–”

She cleared her throat forcefully, but no one paid attention.

A while later, she coughed again, harder–still no one paid attention.

Gathering her energy, she said aloud, “Right, Song Tan, we are all old classmates, you can’t possibly not give any discount, right? That would be too heartless.”

Song Tan looked genuinely remorseful, “That’s true, Qianqian, you think more thoroughly. It’s just that the cost of growing watermelons really is high, and selling them now is at a loss…”

She seemed troubled, “How about this, you all are coming to my house tomorrow, right? I’ll offer each person a cup of tea, and you can check out my online store link, the one for the trial pack at 30 Yuan each.”

“And…” she also seemed quite embarrassed, “A lot of the watermelons are bought by acquaintances and relatives, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to continue the business, so I didn’t offer any discount to begin with… I’m sorry, I’m not being stingy.”

“How about this, everyone, come help out tomorrow, and there will be plenty of watermelons, if you can eat them, 10 per person is no problem.”

The watermelons are delicious, but the meals at her home are every bit as good. Why not just serve a few extra cups of tea… she didn’t believe anyone could really eat 10!

Calculating inwardly with a series of clicks, everyone else was moved–

These days, doing business, the hardest thing is dealing with personal connections.

After all, Song Tan did care about her classmates, she had already agreed to host a meal, and even set aside a rice field for everyone to enjoy a family fun day, and now she was offering tea and plenty of watermelons…

Thinking about it, 20 Yuan a kilo for watermelons of this quality, if she really only sold one, she’d be at a huge loss!

It made everyone feel a bit guilty.

Only Wa Qianqian, completely baffled, got the point: “What? We have to go to Song Tan’s house tomorrow? Why go to that remote and inconvenient village? Isn’t this farmhouse restaurant the same?”
