NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45 - From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult
Zhang Yue’e was also very happy to see her second grandson who went to school in the provincial capital come home for the festival, and took out the melon that she was reluctant to eat and stuffed it to Su Haitao.
Su Haitao cut the melon cleanly, took a bite first, gave Su Haitang a thumbs up, then took the plate containing the melon, and gave each grandma and cousin a portion of the melon.
“Why is this melon so sweet! The skin is thin, the flesh is thick, the juice is full, sweet but not greasy, and the fruit is rich! Is this a new variety?”
Su Haitao tasted it carefully and was very satisfied. The food was natural and generous, and there was no greed and urgency at all.
“It’s delicious!” Zhang Yue’e took a bite and raised her eyebrows in surprise. “The seeds your sister touches from outside are more attentive than serving children. It’s a strange thing if they don’t grow well.”
She originally thought that it was a person who was in good spirits at a happy event, and everything was delicious. It could be seen that the second grandson also praised it, so she also affirmed the unusualness of this melon. Haitao is a college student and is knowledgeable!
Su Haitang pursed her lips and smiled, holding the melon in both hands while taking small bites with a contented expression on her face.
Although she suffered from poverty in her previous life, but after the factory was built, her income increased, and Liu Lancui was greedy for food.
She has been raised to make a mouth, and now she is living the hard life of eating bran and swallowed vegetables, and she is still not used to it. Even if it is mixed with Lingquan water to enhance the taste, there is still a saying that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and no matter how finely made the wowotou, it will not become the taste of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Speaking of which, I feel a little embarrassed. Su Haitang, who has been vegetarian for almost two months, now looks at the chickens, pigs, and rabbits fed by milk. My mouth is drooling, and I even miss the big fat meat that I never touched with chopsticks before!
This is probably what the book says, from frugality to luxury is easy, and from luxury to frugality is difficult.
“Milk, I’m going to the market and I’ve cut two taels of meat. Shall we make dumplings at noon? Brother, you can eat with us too.”
“Where did you get the money?” Zhang Yue’e wiped her hands and asked suspiciously, quickly trying to figure it out.
“You went to sell melons? Why didn’t you wait for me to go with you, kid? You are thin-skinned, you can’t sell at a high price, and the sun is still shining like this.”
Su Haitang rolled her eyes and smiled.
“My grandmother treats me like a child again. I’m eighteen, and I’m the head of our family! Who cares about being thick-skinned to earn money to support the family? Besides, my melons are placed there. I don’t want to buy them if they’re too expensive. You can’t pull open people’s pockets and grab money.”
Su Haitao was interesting to hear what she said, and took it with a smile.
“Then how much do you sell for a pound? Even if you say the money, it seems that the price is indeed a bit expensive. Ask the price all over the sky and pay back the money on the spot. That’s how business should be done.”
Zhang Yue’e also looked over with concern.
Su Haitang smiled smugly and gave a slap.
“Five cents, one.”
“What?” Zhang Yue’e rubbed her ears, thinking that she had heard something wrong.
Su Haitao was also stunned for a while, and then gave his cousin a thumbs up.
“Be bold!”
Su Haitang accepts the compliment from her cousin without shame.
“You get what you pay for, and I didn’t lie.”
Su Haitang explained the process of selling melons in detail, and even Su Haijun came to grab money, and Liu Lancui, Su Haiyan and the mother and daughter did not cover up their words and deeds.
Zhang Yue’e was surprised at first, then worried, and then she was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth, but in the end, she got more and more angry, her old face was sullen, and she didn’t speak.
Su Haitao listened with a smile, and finally frowned seriously, looking at her grandmother and cousin, and suddenly smiled.
“Milk, it’s good for Haitang to be able to do it. You should be happy. I also heard about the family separation, and I thought it was a bit of a fuss.
