Chapter Seventy-Six: Watermelon (Second Watch)

With a click, the huge watermelon was divided into two halves by Lin Zhu's knife, and a unique sweet fragrance of watermelon came to the face, the bright red melon pulp made people salivate, and the black jade-like watermelon seeds were inlaid in it, and Lin Zhu couldn't wait to taste what this watermelon tasted like.

"Girl, this watermelon is really good." Mother Chang didn't expect that the watermelons grown by Lin Zhu would be so good, compared to what she had seen in the palace before. The juice of the watermelon flowed down the knife after the knife, and before I could eat it, I felt that the watermelon juice must be very sweet.

Lin Zhu and Chang's mother quickly cut the watermelon into a moderate size, neatly stacked it on the plate, and then asked Chang's mother to take it out. Lin Zhu used a small bowl to fill Fu Dou'er with some watermelon pulp with the seeds removed, then took a spoon to crush it, and also brought it out.

Mother Chang put the watermelon in front of Dr. Zhang, and Lin Zhu also came over with a small bowl, "Grandpa, you can taste it." ”

Dr. Zhang picked up a piece of watermelon, looked at it first, nodded slightly, took a bite, the sweet and juicy taste instantly exploded in his mouth, and he couldn't help but take one bite after another, until he finished eating the piece in his hand, he realized that because the watermelon was so delicious, he was a little out of shape. "It tastes really good, it's much stronger than I've eaten before. Hehehe. Doctor Zhang covered up his gaffe with laughter, "You can also eat a piece of the bamboo girl," and said to Steward Zhang and Chang's mother, "You can also taste it." ”

Lin Zhu picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite, he couldn't help but burst into tears in his heart, and finally ate the original watermelon. "It's so coarse." Lin Zhu was completely conquered by the deliciousness of watermelon, and said inarticulately.

"Swallow it in and then speak." Dr. Zhang smiled and taught her a lesson. asked Chang's mother to wipe her mouth again, "Eat slowly." Look at your mouth. "Spit out the watermelon seeds on another plate. Chang's mother also tasted a few slices each, and everyone couldn't stop eating. Fortunately, Chang's mother thought about feeding Fu Douer in addition to eating herself. Lin Zhu had long forgotten about it.

Seeing that Fu Dou'er was also eating with red juice all over her face, Lin Zhu smiled at him, and Fu Dou'er, who didn't know that she was ridiculed by her sister, was also stupid at her, and after eating a bite, she asked Chang's mother for the next bite. After feeding him a bowl, Lin Zhu didn't let him eat it again, the watermelon was cold, and he was afraid that it would be bad for a child to eat too much.

After everyone had a good meal, Chang's mother cleaned up the table first, and the watermelon rinds and watermelon seeds on the plate had to be taken out and thrown away. was stopped by Lin Zhu. "Mother Chang, take the watermelon rind to feed the chickens later, keep the watermelon seeds, I can use them." In fact, watermelon peel also has the effect of nourishing, rejuvenating, beautifying and preventing prickly boils. However, if she said it, it might be suspicious, so she had to feed it to the chickens first.

"The watermelon skin is very good, the white part is taken off and mashed and applied to the face can have an unexpected effect, the bamboo girl and Chang's mother can try it." Dr. Zhang sold it with his beard.

Lin Zhu listened. It turned out that people at this time also knew the wonderful use of watermelon skin, so she didn't have to hide it, so she asked Chang's mother to collect a part of it and keep it in the well for later use. The rest is still given to the hard-working chickens, and now they are no longer the dozen or so chicks, and they can provide Lin Zhu with essential eggs every day. Wait for a while. A few of the little roosters inside might be chosen for a big meal.

"Bamboo girl, I didn't expect this watermelon to be so delicious. I'll ask them to give you a good price when the time comes. Dr. Zhang secretly decided that he would keep some of these watermelons for himself. You can't let them buy them all. It's a shame that all such delicious watermelons are sold. "Xie Lu, Grandpa Xie Gan, can I have a small request?" Lin Zhu raised his hand and gestured a little bit. "What requirements? Let's start with that. "Dr. Zhang doesn't know what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd.

"I want to save some for myself. We can't sell it all and don't keep it for ourselves, after the weather is hot, put a watermelon in the well town during the day, and then cut it at night to eat, you can also cool off. How nice, huh? Afraid that Dr. Zhang would not agree, Lin Zhu pulled him to his side first. As everyone knows, some of her words fell into the hands of Dr. Zhang.

"Well," Doctor Zhang pretended to think deeply, "Okay, divide the two parts, and let them pick the rest by themselves when they arrive." "Actually, my heart blossomed.

"That's not good, I'd better ask someone from the village to come and pick it up and load it on the car, so that it can be faster." Lin Zhu thought for a while and said. She did this mainly to give the people of Linjia Village a sweet date to eat, and she had already slapped her in the ancestral hall, and now she had to let them see how good her watermelon was and how it was sold. Since Lin Zhu wants to be powerful, Dr. Zhang will also support her.

After the melon thief is caught, he must be severely punished, and remind the people of Linjia Village that although Lin Zhu is an orphan girl, he is not easy to bully. He asked people to buy watermelons, and he had to let them see how much benefit they could get by following Lin Zhu's method. The wealth is moving, and he doesn't believe that the people of this Lin family village don't please Lin Zhu.

After eating the watermelon, Dr. Zhang took Steward Zhang back, and Steward Zhang was still carrying two watermelons in his hand, one for Dr. Zhang, and the other for other people who served Dr. Zhang. Steward Zhang's heart was happy, and Miss Zhu even thought of their share, and her heart was so good. The mood is called a ripple.

"Master, Miss Zhu's watermelons are planted so well, why don't we plant some of our Zhuangzi as well, and the ladies and ladies in the house will be able to eat them next year." Once this watermelon method is spread, the watermelon will be worthless in the future. Dr. Zhang thought about the housekeeper's words as he walked, "It's okay to plant, but do you really think that the bamboo girl's watermelon will be cheaper in the future?" ”

"Isn't it? This watermelon will definitely not be as expensive as before. The butler was a little puzzled.

"You also tasted the watermelon today, what do you notice?"

"The watermelon today is delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious watermelon before. But the villain hadn't eaten it a few times after all, so he couldn't say anything. Steward Zhang recalled the taste of watermelon just now.

"You can see, the bamboo girl didn't let Mother Chang throw away the watermelon seeds, do you know why?" Dr. Zhang continued to ask.

"Really?" The housekeeper seemed to have thought of something, looked at Dr. Zhang with some clarity, and then looked at the watermelon in his hand.

"When I go back, I have to keep the watermelon seeds that I have eaten." Doctor Zhang explained, and walked straight back. "Yes." Steward Zhang bowed and replied.

"Girl, are you worried about the melon thief?" Chang's mother watched Lin Zhu sit quietly on the kang and play with Fu Dou'er after the master and servant of Mr. Zhang left. "No, the melon thief didn't steal it, and he was bitten by Black Bean, and Black Bean's teeth must have bitten him lightly. It was easy for Uncle Lin to find out, just to give a warning to those with bad intentions in the village. Lin Zhu looked confident, and decided that the person would soon be found out.

"I'm wondering if my grandfather's family can also grow some watermelons, and it doesn't matter if I don't sell them for my own food, there should be a lot of his family." Lin Zhu wanted to repay Dr. Zhang for helping her.

"The girl's idea is very good, but this watermelon method has spread out, and the price of watermelons in our field will not go up in the future." Chang's mother is a little worried, if this watermelon method spreads, doesn't that cut off her own financial route?

"It's okay, what does Mother Chang think of the watermelon today? What about the food we eat on weekdays? Lin Zhu asked an irrelevant question. Today's watermelon is the best I've ever tasted. The taste of the food at home is also incomparable to the dishes outside, it can't be said to be delicious, it has to be said to be delicious. Chang's mother thought about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Girl, is it because the seeds are different from others?" If the delicious watermelon is a problem of planting method, then how to explain the delicious vegetables? Of course, there's a seed problem. "Is this why the girl asked me to put away the watermelon seeds today?" "Of course not, I'm going to fry some melon seeds and eat them as snacks."

"Ah, am I not right?" Chang's mother was confused.

"I didn't say it was wrong, we could keep some watermelon seeds for seeding, but most of them were useless, and if the villagers wanted them, it would be a different matter. But I don't think there will be too many people. They don't trust me very much yet. Lin Zhu paused, "I have other arrangements for the seeds we use in the field." "Speaking of this, Lin Zhu won't go on, that's her secret, and she won't tell anyone. And Chang's mother looked abrupt, and she didn't ask any more interestingly.

"I'll provide the watermelon seeds of my godfather's house, but it's not too much, if you want to have a variety of them, you can only use the seeds from this batch of watermelons, Mother Chang, you tell Uncle Housekeeper." This special seed will have to be given to them later. "The sale of this batch of watermelons will definitely attract attention, and then Dr. Zhang will become the person who shelters her, from the fact that he recognizes her as his goddaughter and arranges for someone to buy all the watermelons. In this case, she should reciprocate the favor.

After she finished speaking, Chang's mother gently hugged her into her arms, and after a long time of wind and rain, she naturally understood Lin Zhu's intention to do this, and patted her back again, "Don't think too much, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Hugged her to the kang, "You sleep with Fu Dou'er for a while, I'll go clean up the bed in the West House, it's getting hotter and hotter, it's better to sleep in the bed." Because she was going to pick watermelons in the morning, she was very excited, she got up a little early, and experienced being stolen melons, and now she is indeed a little sleepy. listened to Chang's mother's words and slept with Fu Dou'er.
