“Grandma, those people are poisoned because they’ve eaten a sprouted melon . As long these melons haven’t had green sprouts and turn greenish black, they are definitely not poisonous . But if they turn greenish black and had green sprouts, the melon will become poisonous, and you will be poison . You have to remember this and remind anyone who will buy the melon . If you won’t, someone will die . ”
When the Old Lady heard this, she immediately slapped her thigh: “No wonder my grandson got sick when he ate a sprouted melon . At that time, he vomited the whole night, so we brought him to the doctor . After taking medicine, he slowly got better . It turned out to be because of that sprouted melon . ”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Yes, it is because of this . You must be careful next time, don’t hesitate to throw them away . ”
The Old Lady sighed: “Even if we hesitate, what else can we do? The melon started pilling up like a mountain at home because we can’t sell them at all . Now, people in Qingyuan Town simply doesn’t want to buy melon anymore . Even if we give them for free, I’m afraid no one will be willing to accept them . ”
Bai Zhi busily replied: “Grandma, I want to buy all of these melons . ”
The Old Lady showed a happy smile on her face, but then she shook her head: “No, no, why would a little girl like buy so many melons? You don’t need to do this because you pity an old woman like me . ”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Grandma, I don’t pity you . I am planning to grow melons at home . I went to the market today to specifically buy melons . ”
The Old Lady hurriedly waved her hand: “You can’t plant them . Now, no one wants to eat melon . If you plant them, aren’t you just giving a problem to yourself?”
Bai Zhi said: “When the time comes, I believe that more and more people will eat melons . ”
When the Old Lady saw Bai Zhi’s serious face, she was sure that she was not joking . So, she didn’t persuade her anymore: “Well, when people decide to walk forward, they won’t stop even if they bump a wall, right? You plant it if you want . ”
The Old Lady then brought the two baskets in front of Bai Zhi: “You take them all if you have 20 cents . ”
20 cents? 20 cents were only equivalent to 10 kilos, but the basket was full . Not to mention, there were two baskets . One full basket will definitely not only weight 10 kilos .
Bai Zhi took out a total of 6 silver coins from her purse and put them all to the Old Lady’s hand: “Grandma, this is my payment to the melons, you take it . ”
When the Old Lady saw Bai Zhi gave her a lot of money, she refused to accept it . But Bai Zhi insisted and only took away 2 silver coins: “Grandma, this money is for your two baskets of melon . You don’t need to refuse . When I’m gone, you should take care of yourself . ”
After she finished, Bai Zhi turned around and left with Hu Feng . They quickly disappeared to the Old Lady’s eyes after squeezing themselves to the crowd .
The Old Lady’s eyes slightly got wet, she sighed long and wanted to find Bai Zhi’s figure, but she could no longer see her .
After putting the two baskets in the cart, Hu Feng pointed his finger to the potatoes and asked: “Are you really going to plant this?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Of course, do I look like joking?”
“But if people eat this thing, they will be a dead man . Who will buy this? Won’t they only rot in the ground?”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I have my own plans . You don’t have to worry about it . Since I am planning to plant them, naturally, I have already planned it through . ”
Hu Feng snorted and thought inside his heart: I have nothing to worry about, so why should I care?
The two entered the market again, with the intention of buying some meat and vegetables . But who would have thought that the meat in the stalls will be sold out? They failed to buy even a piece of meat .
“Boss, what special day is it today? The time is still early, so how can all the meat sold out?” Bai Zhi asked the meat stall owner, who was counting money .
