"That's right, although there are bad watermelons every day, they are only one or two." Mushui nodded.

"We hire a small transport truck and we will arrive at the provincial capital in one day. The consumption capacity of the provincial capital is high. Many families have money, but there are too few good things. Now when we see the rare fruit of seedless watermelon, we must buy one or two to try it out."

"Yes, if it were me, I would definitely buy it." Mu Xiaoshu couldn't help but nod.

"How much does it cost to pack a car?" Zhou Shuilian was most concerned about how much it cost.

"The last time the transport truck that transported us a tractor was a big truck. It cost 500 yuan to come from the provincial capital. I saw a small truck running alone at the station a few days ago. I went to ask about the price, it should not exceed 500 yuan." Mu Xiu said after thinking for a moment.

"Five hundred yuan!!! It's time to grab the money, how much can this watermelon be sold!!" Zhou Shuilian exclaimed.

No wonder Zhou Shuilian lost her composure. Last year, Mu Xiu's watermelon was sold to the villagers at a pound of one cent, and one cent of two cents to the county town. Last year, he harvested a total of 9,600 kilograms of watermelon, and the gross profit was 1,200 yuan. Now, if you go to the provincial capital, you will spend 500 yuan on travel expenses, and the gross profit is only 700 yuan. It is really not a problem to throw away the miscellaneous accommodation and food. It is also a waste of time and can't make much money.

"Mom, when we are taken to the provincial capital, we will definitely not sell it at one cent per pound or two cent per pound. I ordered it to be 50 cent per pound. On average, a melon weighs eight pounds, which is four yuan. There are more people who can afford it in the provincial capital. Our train can bring five tons of melons, which is 10,000 pounds. A rough calculation will be nearly 5,000 yuan." Mu Xiu's words surprised everyone.

"Five thousand yuan can you make so much?" Mushui's voice trembled a little.

"That's of course, but this is gross profit. Putting aside the fertilizers, transportation losses, including food and accommodation in the provincial capital, the net profit of one trip should be more than 3,000 yuan." Mu Xiu said after a rough calculation in his heart.

"Will it be too expensive for a pound of 50 cents?" Chen Jianqiang felt that he would not buy watermelons that cost 50 cents per pound. After all, ordinary watermelons are only 2 cents per pound, and it is just a matter of spitting seeds.

However, this seedless watermelon is indeed sweeter and juicier than ordinary watermelons, but it’s just a watermelon flavor, so why waste that money?

"There are many people in the provincial capital, and their consumption capacity is much stronger than that in the county. Now everyone lives better. The restaurants in the provincial capital are full of all day long. A watermelon is much cheaper than going out to eat a restaurant. Many people have never seen this seedless watermelon. Anyway, if I see it for the first time, I will try it out." Mu Xiu said affirmatively.

"What if I can't sell the melons?" Mu Xiaoshu thought about it and asked.

"Even if we sell half of it, we can make about 2,000 yuan. Besides, how can we not sell it all? We can finally come back along the provincial capital and sell it all the way back. When we get home, we sell it all." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

Everyone was silent and began to think about Mu Xiu's words.

"Mom, sister, don't you want to go to the provincial capital? This truck can bring several people. We can even save tickets here, which is equivalent to taking a special bus." Mu Xiu's words instantly touched the few people present.

"Mom, my father said last time that this and that are good now in the provincial capital. Didn't you say you should go and have a look? Why don't I go with you and let's have a good time?" Mu Xiaoshu said to Zhou Shuilian with his eyes lit up.

Mu Xiaoshu has only been to the provincial capital once in his lifetime. The prosperity and excitement there have been made her miss it. She really wanted to go and see it again. Last time, because Mu Xiu went to pay back the money and had too much family affairs, she didn't go there. This time she said she wanted to go and see it no matter what.

"Mom, I want to go too, I want to go too!" Huzi immediately rushed to say, as long as he could go out to play, Li Hu wanted to go

Mu Chunfeng curled his lips and said, "What's the best thing about the provincial capital? It takes so long to take a bus. I won't even go even if I invite me. It's better to read a book at home."

"I want to go and see my mother and my sister." Sanni hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage and spoke. After that, she looked at Mu Xiu with a timid look, full of begging.

At that time, there were not many cars running for transportation, and there were very few private cars, so there were very few people who were overloaded and overweight. Mu Xiu calculated that she, Mu Xiaoshu, Zhou Shuilian, Li Hu and Sanni, should be seated in the cab, and Mushui and Mr. Chen were just looking at the watermelon in the cargo hold behind.

"I won't go." Zhou Shuilian suddenly said.

"Why don't you go?" Mu Xiaoshu looked at Zhou Shuilian strangely.

"There are so many things at home, I'm going, what should I do if Xiaohua? Let's wait next time. Xiaohua grows up, and I'll take Xiaohua with me again." Zhou Shuilian looked at Xiaohua, who was less than three years old. Xiaohua also looked at Zhou Shuilian and smiled sweetly at Zhou Shuilian. Zhou Shuilian immediately laughed.

"Then this time, my sister and I took our two children to the provincial capital."

"You are going to do business and have to take care of two children, I'm not at ease." Zhou Shuilian directly rejected Mu Xiu's proposal.

"Then this time, Hu Zi won't go first." Mu Xiaoshu thought about it and said.

"Mom, why is it me again? Why don't you take me there? I don't care. I'm going to go to the provincial capital to play!" Hu Zi stopped immediately.

"We are going to do serious things, not to play. We are taking Sanni to see Sanni's mother. When your second aunt starts school, I will take you there again." Mu Xiaoshu knew that Hu Zi was naughty, and if he couldn't see anyone in the provincial capital and lost it, it would be difficult to find.

"No, I'm going this time, I'm obedient! I won't run around!" Hu Zi was still making trouble.

"Have you finished writing the summer homework I assigned to you? School is about to start." Mu Xiu lowered her face, and she also agreed not to bring Hu Zi.

"Auntie, he hasn't done it yet! I even said he was yesterday!" Mu Chunfeng heard this and quickly complained.

The summer vacation at that time was different from the current one. At that time, there was only one month. Although Huzi was still in kindergarten, he was about to enter the first grade at the beginning of school. Mu Xiu also assigned him some simple homework for Huzi's goodness, and asked Mu Chunfeng to explain and supervise Li Hu.

But Hu Zi is so playful that he still has a lot of homework left to write.

As soon as Hu Zi heard about doing homework, he immediately became sad. He said to Mu Xiaoshu listlessly, "Mom, then you will definitely take me there next time."

"As long as you do your homework well and be obedient, your mother doesn't take you there, I'll take you there." Mu Xiu's words finally calmed down.

In this way, Mu Xiu went to the county town to find a transport truck, and the rest of the people went down to the ground and began to pick the remaining watermelons in the field.
