Chapter 159 Brother Lu
Shen Mianmian wasn’t worried at all about purchasing winter melons; they were abundant and low-cost, with nearly every household growing them. Many people were even tired of eating them.
They didn’t have the mindset to go sell their winter melons. Some had more than they could eat, and they would just rot away. If someone said they were buying winter melons, most people would gladly sell, as long as they were paid in cash.
As for the capital needed to buy the winter melons, Shen Mianmian was also not worried. It didn’t take much to start buying them, and even if she couldn’t sell them, she could just take them back home to eat.
Before being cut open, winter melons were quite good at keeping.
Lu Siyuan didn’t want to dampen Shen Mianmian’s enthusiasm, but there was a fact that he had to tell her, "Winter melons don’t sell well in the city, urban residents don’t like to store vegetables. They buy their groceries close to home and prefer fresh produce, purchasing only a little each time."
In the city, it’s not like in the countryside where a meal is for a large family. Urban families are usually just three or four people and can’t eat much in one meal. Even a small winter melon weighs over twenty pounds, which a family cannot finish in two or three days.
"That’s not a problem, why not just sell them cut?" In the twenty-first century, watermelons were sold in slices, so why not winter melons? In big supermarkets, aren’t pumpkins and winter melons sold in pieces?
"Sell them cut?" Lu Siyuan was taken aback by Shen Mianmian’s idea, "How did you think of that?"
