The old man with white hair, wearing a light cyan coat, was about to take a watermelon to quench his thirst when he heard that two young men in strange clothes were looking at him with green light in their eyes, which made his hands tremble. All the watermelons fell onto the table,

but when he saw the man asking questions, he bravely replied: "a watermelon is worth three cents. If you buy the whole watermelon, you can buy it Wang Mang could not help but frown after listening to the white haired old man's reply. What's the concept of three cent silver? I wonder if I can pay in silver?

"Father in law, do you think you can pay for this?"

With some doubts, Wang Mang took out an exquisite Panlong silver coin and threw it to some stunned white haired old man's hand and heart at a distance of four or five meters.

"don't be stunned, old man, can you pay the bill?" Wang Mang stares at the red flesh of the melon and swallows his saliva.

the old man with white hair reacts from a stupefied state at this time. He picks up the shiny silver coin in his hand and bites it in his mouth, where he has few teeth. When he sees a few gravure marks on the silver coin, he smiles with satisfaction, "my guest, the quality of the silver you gave is really good. It's really pure Silver

"Just use it. How much is this silver coin worth?" Wang Mang looked at the watermelon eagerly and asked, "the standard weight of this silver coin is one coin, which is equivalent to ten silver!" The white haired old man weighed the weight of the silver coin with his hand, and confidently said the weight of the silver coin,

"then I'll give you two more. Cut me a watermelon quickly!" Wang Mang took out two more silver coins from the ring and tossed them on the white haired old man's desk.

"OK, I'll choose a big one for you!"

With a smile, the old man picked up the silver coin from the table and stuffed it into the open pocket of his light green coat. Holding a kitchen knife in his hand, he hoisted a wooden bucket from the stone well. A black watermelon, which was three points bigger than a basketball, was taken up.

the old man's kitchen knife flashed and cut the melon like lightning. Then he divided it into eight pieces and took several pieces A piece of oil paper, wrapped in the foreskin, sent the melon to Wang Mang and Wang Hu with a smile,

in his mouth, he kept praising the watermelon he sold, "thin skin, sweet taste, no sand, no money!"

Wang Mang was not interested in listening to the old man's talk about how good his watermelon was. When he took the melon, he took two mouthfuls of it.

it was sweet, and the cool and moist flesh of the melon was clenched in his mouth. Wang Mang immediately stirred up his spirits. On such a hot day, eating a juicy, cool watermelon is a kind of enjoyment in the world.

"you're a good melon, old man!" Wang Mang finished eating the watermelon in two or three, took another piece, praised it, and continued to nibble it,

it took only two or three minutes for a huge watermelon to be nibbled by Wang Mang and Wang Hu, leaving only the green skin and half the red flesh out of sight,

"brother mang! Let's have three more. We just moistened our throat. We don't quench our thirst! "

Wang Hu lost his skin and wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the well full of watermelons and said,

Wang Mang waved his hand directly, took a handful of shiny silver coins, put them into the old man's hand and said, "please have five more melons, big one!"

The white haired old man stared at his right hand, which was stuffed with a handful of silver coins. His eyes were a little dazed, and his hand holding the silver coins was shaking,

"OK... Ok... I'll cut it right away!" The old man's voice is a little unsteady. He has sold watermelon for several days in just a few minutes!
