The variety of this melon is green skin, which is not surprising to Xu Yi at all, and Xu Yi guessed this result when he saw this kind of seed.

The green-skinned watermelon seeds are larger than the watermelon seeds of the common watermelons nowadays, and the size is basically between the bagged watermelon seeds sold in supermarkets and the watermelon seeds of ordinary watermelons - this is also the common feature of almost all old varieties of watermelons.

Most of the old varieties planted in most parts of the province used to be this kind of green skin, and now it only confirms Xu Yi's conjecture.

The fried watermelon seeds are not ordinary watermelons, but a special variety of watermelons that are more alternative, and the name is beaten melons.

No matter which variety of melon has a characteristic, the size of the melon is generally not big, and the melon seeds in it are many and large, but the taste of most melons is not very good. In the words of the old village chief who has eaten melons, the taste of this melon is similar to that of winter melon, and there is no sweetness at all.

As for the various watermelons that are common now, the seeds are relatively small, and they are all cultivated and bred by varieties that have been introduced in recent decades.

Various excellent watermelon varieties have been introduced one after another, and the old varieties such as green peel are now basically extinct, which is quite a regrettable thing.

The green skin of the melon is ruddy in color, and the taste is very rustling, and the sweetness of this melon is also large, and the taste is also quite good, which is a very good traditional watermelon variety, otherwise it will not occupy the watermelon planting history in the province for so many years.

But even with so many benefits, Qingpi still has various shortcomings compared to the current watermelons.

First of all, the size of the green skin is not too big. Generally speaking, most of these melons will grow to about eleven or twelve catties.

Not only is there a difference between the north and the south when eating tofu brain, but even if you eat watermelon, there are also regional differences. In the south, watermelons should be eaten small. Northerners eat watermelon, but they have to eat big ones.

In the early years, a large area of watermelons such as ruby and new ruby was planted in the province, but in recent years, it has been affected by the northward transportation of pumpkins in the non-watermelon production season. Now there are more varieties such as early spring red jade or 8424 that are mostly planted in the south, and the unicorn melon and Jingxin that are bred again by it.

The green skin is certainly incomparable with the watermelon that can grow to tens or hundreds of catties like the new ruby, but compared with those early-maturing varieties such as early spring red jade, or 8424, this green skin is already a giant.

In early spring, red jade generally weighs no more than four or five catties, even if it is the latter, and what unicorn melons and other varieties are selected and bred by it, most of the weight of a single melon is only about seven or eight catties, and it is a miracle that it can grow so heavy.

It's just that this green skin has such a high weight, and when it comes to edible parts, it is such a big one. The amount of melon pulp in this is about the same as the amount of 8424, which is significantly smaller than it.

The rest, naturally, is the melon skin that accounts for a considerable amount of weight.

The skin of the green melon is very thick, even if it is thin, it has to be more than half an inch, and the seeds of this watermelon are still larger, and the people who eat watermelon do not like this very much - after all, this watermelon is bought and eaten melon pulp, and the skin and seeds of this melon have to be removed.

Therefore, compared with those thin-skinned watermelons, the market and even the price are much lower, and the yield is not as good as other varieties. Therefore, even if the stem grows strongly, is resistant to disease, and easy to manage, these advantages are not enough to make it compete with other better varieties.

In the early years, even various hybrid varieties and even seedless watermelons began to be cultivated on a large scale. Failed to completely kill the green skin.

Watermelon is a fruit that is not resistant to storage and transportation, especially those thin-skinned watermelons that can be broken with a flick can be stored for a week.

But the skin of the green-skinned watermelon is thicker, and the waxy layer on the surface is thicker. Even if an adult steps on this melon, as long as he doesn't jump hard. It's not going to crush it. This thick skin also gives the green skin a unique congenital condition in the fight against dehydration and bacterial infection, which is less affected by these conditions. Naturally, this watermelon can also be stored for a longer period of time.

The green skin is particularly durable, and as long as the picked green skin is well kept, it can even be put from Halloween to the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is far from being comparable to other varieties.

So in the early years, there were still a lot of people who planted this, and waited until the Mid-Autumn Festival when other watermelons were withdrawn from the market and then sold them, and this melon could still be sold at a good price.

However, with the increasing maturity of cultivated technology in protected areas and the increasing convenience of transportation, even those who want to eat thin-skinned watermelons around the Chinese New Year are everywhere.

In addition, the yield of this green skin is always inferior to those newly cultivated varieties, so even this durable advantage can no longer stop the green skin from disappearing from the market, and the green skin finally bid farewell to the glory and withdrew from the fruit market.

Now, compared to those hybrid varieties, this green skin only has the advantage of being able to keep its own seeds, so there are still a few people who plant a few trees on the edge of the field, and the large-scale planting is basically completely gone, even Xu Yi has not seen this kind of melon for several years.

Knowing that it was this variety, Xu Yi felt that it was a pity.

Naturally, he is not bad at the yield of this watermelon, at most he can grow a few more.

It's just that the skin of this green skin is too thick, and the usable part is relatively natural. For a foodie like a fat man, it's too easy for one person to kill most of the watermelon at once.

I can get three or two at most at a time, which must not make him enjoyable, and he can't always carry a sack of watermelon out at a time to eat enough, isn't this too fake?

But when Xu Yi saw the melon, he immediately felt that this watermelon was very good, and it was not small.

No matter how small the green skin is, it is bigger than the mouth of the big bowl, but compared to the green skin, this melon is too small.

Xu Yi turned over the seedlings of several muskmelons, and the largest melon he found was smaller than his fist.

Small to small, this melon is quite distinctive, the melon body is round, the color of the snow-white melon body still has a strip of indentations, the place that was originally a flower also bulges a thumb belly-sized bag, just like a small steamed bun buckled on the top of the melon, is to pick off the melon, remove the melon, and then insert a chopstick on the small bag on the top, it looks like the eight-edged plum blossom bright silver hammer in Yue Yun's hand painted in the villain's book.

Feeling that this melon was familiar, Xu Yi stood there and looked at it for a long time, and finally found the variety of this melon out of his vague memory.

This kind of melon is called a white sugar pot, and it is also an old variety that has been eliminated, the melon skin is abnormally thin, the melon flesh is soft and sweet, and it is very delicious.

It's just that the size of this variety of melon is too small, not to mention compared with the melon, even if it is an apple this year, most of them are three points heavier than this melon.

The size is small, the yield is naturally low, and the disease resistance of this variety is not strong, this white sugar pot is earlier than when the green skin was withdrawn from the market.

As for the new white sugar canned melon on the market, Xu Yi ate it several times in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital last summer.

It's a lot bigger, and the smallest thickness can be compared to a small bowl, which can weigh almost half a pound to a pound, and finally beat most apples. It's just that the size of this melon is big, but the taste is much worse, even if the melon farmer grows it with farmhouse fertilizer and eats it himself, this melon is still quite sweet, but the fragrance is much worse than the white sugar jar of this old variety.

Xu Yi estimated that by the evening, these melons would be able to pick at least ten or eight, and it would be impossible to eat enough, but a person could always divide two or three, and always have a large half catty, which was barely enough.

Since it is these two varieties, Xu Yi is also relieved, you don't have to worry about the sugar jar on the shelf, just pick the melon, even if it is a green skin, you just find a net pocket to hang it, presumably the taste of this "hanging melon" will definitely be better than that planted on the ground.

Standing on the ground and closing his eyes, Xu Yi went directly out of the bathroom at home.

Two bags containing sweet potatoes and potatoes were still stacked in the middle of the bathroom floor, and Xu Yi opened the bags and checked them.

Both the potatoes and the sweet potatoes were unusually clean and smooth, and there was not a trace of dirt, not even the inside of the sprouts.

Xu Yi reached out and touched the bag, but it was slightly damp, it seems that these things can also be put away, but he definitely doesn't have time to deal with this, and this little thing is not worth digging a cellar, so it seems that he can only put them in the tent for the time being.

Xu Yi found two plastic bags, and after each containing some potatoes and sweet potatoes, he received the two bags on the ground into the space with a plastic bag, and carried the remaining bag downstairs, ready to put it in the kitchen and keep it for later eating.

As for the bag of potatoes and sweet potatoes that received the space, Xu Yi was going to save them for the barbecue at night.

These things are sliced and roasted, and they taste pretty good, as does the tofu in your freezer.

As long as you go back and cut some leeks or something, as long as you go to the supermarket to buy some beef and mutton or something, this barbecue material is enough.

Thinking about this, Xu Yi went downstairs, but was stopped by two little foxes.

Looking at the little fox squatting in front of him and looking at the bag, Xu Yi naturally knew what they wanted.

Xu Yi picked two big sweet potatoes and threw them to the edge of the food box, and the two little things ran over, stretched out their paws to hold down the sweet potatoes, and bit them with their mouths open.

Sweet potatoes are eaten raw at most, which is flatulence, and the problem of carnivores with short intestines is not too big, plus the remaining half a box of tofu brain, you don't have to worry about the dinner of these two little things.

Xu Yi picked up the phone and called Hu Yifei directly, and when he picked it up, he asked directly: "Boss, have you found a supermarket or vegetable market?" (to be continued......)
