Chapter 65: The Big Watermelon
"I'm afraid it won't work either! The fruit is fresh, and the peaches and plums can't help but be put in, and storing them for so long will definitely affect the taste. ”
Zhou Hongda is worried not only about quantity, but also about quality. Now the fruits provided by Zhong Huan are obviously all from the same day, and the maturity is more than ninety, and they will definitely not be stored for a week. If you want to keep it for a longer time, you have to pick it early, which will still affect the taste.
"How about switching to easy-to-preserve fruit?" Zhong Huan thought of another idea.
"That's okay, but I don't know what other fruits your master has planted. Moreover, it is not enough to replace the fruit that is easy to preserve, but also to ensure the taste, and it must be fully ripe. ”
The contract signed by Zhou Hongda and Zhong Huan did not stipulate the type of fruit, but it required that the taste of the fruit must be consistent with that of peach and plum. It was only a matter of time before Zhong Huan changed the fruit, Zhou Hongda was just worried that the quality of other fruits would not keep up, after all, he had not eaten the other fruits sent by Zhong Huan.
"The taste is definitely fine. If you're not sure, I'll send you some other fruit to try today. "Zhong Huan is very confident in the fruits produced by the Ten Thousand Beast Gu.
"That's great! But don't put this fruit with peaches and plums, let Zhou Xin bring it back for me alone. "Zhou Hongda attaches great importance to new fruits.
"Got it, Uncle Zhou."
Zhong Huan hung up the phone and entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. This rented house also has the advantage that no one disturbs him, and he can enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu at any time without worrying about being discovered, which is something that cannot be done at home and in the dormitory.
The huge storage hall was no longer as empty as before, and there were piles of various fruits and vegetables on the ground, all of which were ripe fruits and vegetables that Zhong Huan had picked when he entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu at different times. After sifting through it, Zhong Huan locked on three fruits, namely apples, pears and watermelons.
Apples and pears are both shelf-stable fruits, and watermelons can be stored for a while as long as they are not cut. Like other fruits and vegetables, these three fruits are also surprisingly large, apples and pears alone have three or four catties, and watermelons are even more exaggerated, each of which is above thirty catties. The largest watermelon stored in the storage hall is already more than fifty catties. This is not the biggest, Zhong Huan has seen a watermelon up to 100 catties in the melon field, but it is too difficult to move, so he didn't move it to the storage hall.
Thinking that these fruits would be brought back to the dormitory for Zhou Xin, they would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of his roommates, so Zhong Huan simply took some more, and also let his friends taste the fruits produced by the Ten Thousand Beasts Gu. It is enough to take one large watermelon of more than thirty catties, peaches, plums, apples, pears, and four kinds of fruits, Zhong Huan took some of each and made up a basket, and there were also thirty or forty catties.
It's not difficult to choose a good fruit, but it's even harder to get it back to school. Zhong Huan couldn't lift the watermelon when he picked it up, and he couldn't hold the watermelon when he picked up the basket. It's not that he doesn't have enough strength, it's that the big round watermelon is too difficult to hold. In desperation, Zhong Huan had no choice but to call a taxi to help him bring the fruit back to school.
The old driver who drove the taxi was dumbfounded when he saw the watermelon Zhong Huan was holding in his hand, and he was amazed along the way, saying that he had eaten watermelon all his life and had never seen such a big one. One Jin asked Zhong Huan where he bought this melon. Zhong Huan could only tell the driver that he bought it at the Hongda Hotel, anyway, in the future, his watermelon would definitely be sold in the hotel, and the driver really couldn't buy it elsewhere.
Zhong Huan asked the driver to send him to the check-in office. The four people in their dormitory definitely can't eat so much fruit, of course, they are looking for the seniors of the Guoshu Club to share it with. Zhong Huan felt that they were also very hard, for the development of the club, they had to come to the school on a hot day to recruit new people, just to reward them.
"Senior Sister Su, I'm here to send you warmth."
Zhong Huan got out of the car with a big watermelon in both hands, and attracted the attention of all the students at the registration office. Everyone has seen a watermelon, but no one has ever seen such a big watermelon.
"Zhong Huan, this watermelon is so big! Where did you buy it? Luo Qian was the first to jump over and ask.
"My master grows it himself, and you can't buy it outside. You give me a hand, and there's a basket of fruit in the car. ”
As soon as Zhong Huan said this, Ye Tianlong and Wang Yonghe hurriedly stepped forward to take the watermelon and put it on the exhibition table of the Guoshu Society. Zhong Huan returned to the car and carried a basket of fruits.
"Let me see what else is there." Luo Qian lifted the lid of the fruit basket as she spoke, and then exclaimed: "Wow~ Why is it so big!" ”
"Zhong Huan, your master can't be studying some genetic engineering, right?" Ye Tianlong had never seen such a large fruit either, and he felt that these super-large fruits looked like they were picked from the experimental field of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
"Maybe! How about it, do you dare to be a guinea pig and try these mutated fruits? Zhong Huan couldn't explain it clearly, so he didn't explain it, and directly used the agitation method.
"Then what don't you dare. We martial arts practitioners are bold! Luo Qian looked at the big watermelon and couldn't help but start swallowing.
"Zhong Huan, these fruits are not cheap to sell. How much? I'll reimburse you. ”
Su Ke heard about his acquaintance with Zhong Huan from his grandfather, and knew that Zhong Huan's side business was selling fruits, and he also cooperated with the Zhou family's hotel, and he didn't want him to suffer.
"Senior Sister Su, don't see outside. These fruits were all picked by Master from the time of delivery, so they don't cost anything. Just leave some for Zhou Xin to take home as a sample. ”
After Zhong Huan finished speaking, he dialed Zhou Xin and Chu Xiaoxue's phone and asked them to go downstairs to eat watermelon together. As soon as Zhou Xin heard that Zhong Huan had brought a new fruit from his master, he pulled Fang Xixi and ran downstairs, making Fang Xixi inexplicable, I don't know why he was so excited to eat a little fruit. Could it be that the young proprietor of Hongda Hotel usually can't even eat fruit?
When Fang Xixi followed Zhou Xin and Peng Lei to the registration office, he realized that the fruit Zhong Huan brought was not ordinarily big. Rao is that he is well-informed, and he has never seen this kind of super big watermelon, so he was taken aback.
Many of the freshmen who came to register were also attracted by the fruit at this time, and they gathered around the recruitment table of the Guoshu Society to discuss. It's okay for the freshmen who know what Guoshu is, but some freshmen who have never heard of Guoshu asked, "Is the name of your club written wrong?" It should be the Fruit and Vegetable Society! Or is it now popular to call fruits and vegetables Guoshu? ”
For this kind of idiotic problem, without Su Ke and the members of the Guoshu Society, there are naturally other onlookers who despise it. Anyway, the Guoshu Society, which has always been cold, has become the most popular club on the scene at this time. Su Ke and the others didn't care about eating fruit, so they handed out the leaflets on the table in one go. The fruit could have such a good publicity effect, Zhong Huan and Su Ke really didn't expect it.
"Xiaoxue is coming! Light snow is coming! Coach, let's cut the watermelon! I can't wait. ”
Luo Qian, who had finished handing out the leaflets, immediately shouted at Su Ke as soon as she saw Chu Xiaoxue pulling another girl running over.
"Little gluttonous cat, what are you anxious about? Wait for the light snow to come before cutting. ”
Su Ke knew that Zhong Huan and Chu Xiaoxue had a good relationship, so it was naturally impossible for Chu Xiaoxue to not be able to eat the fruit Zhong Huan brought.
"I'm sorry! I'm late. To introduce, this is my roommate Yue Meijuan. ”
The girl brought by Chu Xiaoxue was a girl in a long white dress. With long black hair on his head and a pair of flat-soled plain sandals under his feet, although his appearance is not amazing, he is also elegant and delicate, and he looks pure and lovely. Since this girl was pulled by Chu Xiaoxue and ran over, as soon as she arrived at the place, she began to stroke her chest and pant for breath, giving people a feeling of being delicate and weak and not very good at sports.
"Hello everyone! I'm Sister Xiaoxue's roommate. It's been a pleasure to meet you all. Yue Meijuan's voice was very soft, I don't know if it was like this, or if she was too tired from running and didn't have the strength to speak.
"Sister Xiaoxue, why are you just a roommate? What about the other beauties in the dormitory? Zhou Xin asked as he looked behind Chu Xiaoxue, as if there was a large wave of beauties coming behind him.
"The others went out shopping. I will return to the dormitory after eating with you, and Yue Meijuan will be left alone. Chu Xiaoxue explained.
"Zhou Xin, aren't you going to chase Senior Sister Order? Why are you still thinking about other beauties? Luo Qian grabbed Zhou Xin's ear as she spoke.
"Oops~Oops~ Senior sister's subordinates are merciful, am I helping Peng Lei to ask?" Zhou Xin begged for mercy.
"Hmph~ That's pretty much it! However, Peng Lei doesn't need so many beauties, it's enough to have Xiaoxue bring this one. Luo Qian began to mess with the mandarin duck score again.
"Huh? Sister Xiaoxue, who is Peng Lei? I...... I'd better go back to the dorm! ”
Yue Meijuan seemed to be taken aback by Luo Qian's words, and hurriedly hugged Chu Xiaoxue's arm. The expression was as if Luo Qian was a trafficker and wanted to sell her to a man named Peng Lei.
"Don't go! Senior Sister Luo Qian is joking with you. He is Peng Lei, you see how honest he is, he won't eat you. Chu Xiaoxue pointed at Peng Lei and said.
Peng Lei saw Yue Meijuan's watery eyes looking at him, and couldn't help but blush and lowered his head. Not to mention, Yue Meijuan, a pure and cute girl, is really the type he likes. However, he is not as cheeky as Zhou Xin, and he doesn't dare to talk to this girl he just met.
Yue Meijuan saw that Peng Lei seemed to be more shy than herself, so she let go of Chu Xiaoxue's arm and was no longer so nervous.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's cut the watermelon!"
Su Ke himself couldn't help but want to taste the big watermelon that Zhong Huan brought. With the knife in his hand, more than 30 catties of large watermelons were neatly cut into even small pieces by Su Ke. The knife work is not bad at all compared to Zhou Xin, a professional chef, but Zhong Huan thinks that Su Ke should not have practiced cooking, and eighty percent has practiced knife skills.
"This watermelon is so sweet!"
Luo Qian's mouth was dry after a busy afternoon, so she picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite, and then let out an exclamation.
"It's so sweet!"
"Crispy sand!"
"This watermelon is so authentic!"
"If you ice it, it will definitely taste better!"
With Luo Qian taking the lead, the others were not polite, and they picked up the watermelon and nibbled on it, eating happily one by one. Zhong Huan brought this watermelon is not only sweet, but also full of moisture and fragrant, and it is really refreshing to quench your thirst and dispel the heat after taking a bite.
"If I join the Guoshu Society now, can I eat it in pieces?"
A weak voice sounded in the crowd of onlookers, and it seemed that there were already new students who couldn't resist the temptation of the welfare of the Guoshu Society.
