Chapter 23: Watermelon Tastes Good
"Hey, you went out to buy a watermelon and came back?" Seeing Lin Shuqiang coming back with a watermelon, Huang Xiuyun was very surprised, "You are really terrible now, you have nothing to do and ran out of the city to buy a watermelon and come back to eat." How much is a pound of watermelon now? In the morning, someone came to the village to sell watermelons for eight cents. ”
Huang Xiuyun must have been a little surprised, no one in the village sells watermelons, so now that he sees Lin Shuqiang coming back with a big watermelon, he must have gone out of the village to buy it. If it's just a two-step walk, it's okay, but you really still have to walk a lot to get out of the village.
"It didn't cost anything, it was picked up in Lin Shan." Lin Shuqiang knocked on the watermelon, and it should be very good to listen to the sound; "He always said that he wanted to make watermelon if he didn't get my bag, and at that time I thought he was making excuses, but now I don't look like it. During that time, I looked at the watermelon seedlings he planted, and if you look at it now, it has only been more than half a month, and the watermelons have already grown. ”
Huang Xiuyun took the watermelon to the stove house to wash it and prepare to cut it, she was also stunned when she heard Lin Shuqiang's words, she and Lin Shuqiang thought that Lin Shan didn't want to take the bag or was deceived, but now that Lin Shuqiang said so, it is naturally true.
"His watermelon might really be something, how long has it been? I've never grown watermelons, but I still know a lot about them. If I hadn't seen this watermelon before, I wouldn't believe that the watermelon could grow from seedlings to maturity in more than a month, too fast! Lin Shuqiang took the kitchen knife and prepared to cut the melon, he was also shocked by Lin Shan's super watermelon, which happened under his nose.
"Did he take some ripening agent or something to grow this watermelon growing so fast? Now it's genetically modified or something on TV at every turn, and he doesn't know if this watermelon is genetically modified, otherwise it would definitely not grow so fast! Huang Xiuyun was also a little surprised, of course, a little worried; Now food safety is really unreassuring, poisoned milk, poisoned rice, gutter oil or something is too much, although in the countryside such things may be relatively rare, because many farmers are their own vegetables, but some other food they do not see much confidence.
"I don't think so, Lin Shan's brain is very active, I don't think he will touch those things, and how long have you seen him go out in the past few years? It's not that I'm unlucky, he only has a lot of money in his hands, and he doesn't have the capital to do those things. I guess he may have found good seedlings somewhere, I used to think that he stayed in the mountains not just to guard the grave of his uncle, but now you look at his watermelon, maybe he has been doing this. "If Lin Shan is here, he may be sweating, although Lin Shuqiang didn't say it right, but he can be regarded as saying something right.
"It's one thing to cut it and taste it, it's one thing for the watermelon to grow fast, it's another thing to taste good. I see that his watermelon grows quickly, and I guess it tastes very good. Lin Shan also said before that his watermelon may not be sold for sale, and the price does not seem to be cheap. Lin Shuqiang picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting melons directly, he was indeed a little curious about Lin Shan's watermelons.
When the blade lightly touched the watermelon, they heard a crisp sound and saw that the watermelon was cut; Lin Shuqiang and Huang Xiuyun glanced at each other, it seemed that they still underestimated Lin Shan's watermelon.
"This watermelon is really good, look at it, all the seeds are black, and the melon pulp is also red." Huang Xiuyun picked up half of the watermelon and said, "This watermelon is really good, you can smell it when you just cut it, I haven't seen this watermelon smell so fragrant when you open it all these years." ”
Lin Shuqiang also nodded, Lin Shan's watermelon is really a bit of a doorway; When you just cut it, you can smell the faint fragrance, not to mention, there is also a layer of melon juice on the table.
"Well, this watermelon is really delicious, no wonder that kid can't come down from the mountains all day long, he has completely found a way to make a fortune, if this watermelon is really grown, it must be crazy." After cutting the melon, Lin Shuqiang, whose index finger moved, immediately couldn't wait to take a big bite; The melon juice is sweet and fragrant, he really has never eaten such a watermelon, it is completely much better than the watermelon he usually eats.
"It's really delicious, it looks good, and it tastes good. No wonder you said that he wants to sell at a high price, I guess this watermelon must be very easy to sell, as long as it becomes famous, this watermelon must be very popular. Let's talk about the people in the village, usually watermelons cost seven or eight cents a pound, you look at the people in the village shouting that watermelons are expensive and have no money, but they still buy them one by two. If I come across such a watermelon, it will be a little more expensive, and the taste is indeed good. Huang Xiuyun also nodded again and again, this watermelon tastes much better than ordinary watermelons, "In two days, you go to Linshan to buy two watermelons, our fat man is still on the excavator on this hot day, you can also send him two watermelons to try; The fat man is not easy, he usually likes to eat some gadgets, this watermelon is estimated to be impossible to buy outside, you send him two. ”
Lin Shuqiang also nodded again and again, now they are basically only children, and the children naturally hurt badly; Their fat man Zhang Yuan has been driving an excavator for several years, but this summer is really not an easy thing, although the current excavator cab is air-conditioned, but the excavator on a hot day is still exposed to the sun, and it is not an easy thing.
"Yo, you two old guys really know how to enjoy it, and you need a watermelon to cool off the heat after dinner?" At this time, Cui Ping, who had a loud voice, entered Lin Shuqiang's house, and she didn't treat herself as an outsider, so she directly picked up a watermelon on the table and ate it, "Well, where did you buy this melon?" It tastes so good, I'm going to buy two tomorrow too. ”
"Of course the watermelon that doesn't cost money tastes good." Lin Shuqiang glanced at Cuiping angrily, speaking of which they are still cousins, but because Cuiping's family is not very competitive, Lin Shuqiang also looks down on Cuiping's family.
"Don't tell me, this watermelon is not easy to buy." Huang Xiuyun didn't have much, anyway, she didn't care if she said that Cui Ping didn't care, "Your watermelon is at least more than a dollar!" ”
"When I haven't eaten watermelon, have I? Our old Zhang family is also worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, a watermelon can still afford to eat, tell me what kind of watermelon you are, unicorn melon or something is still so expensive? Cui Ping's voice suddenly became louder, and she basically likes to visit the door in the countryside, and her loud voice also made some people next to her come over to watch the excitement.
"Hmmm! Unicorn melon, you eat unicorn melon has this taste! You are worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, tell me where the watermelon you ate tastes better than this watermelon? Lin Shuqiang was a little angry, a person who didn't even understand basic filial piety was still showing off all day long, and he didn't know what to show off.
"Your watermelon doesn't actually taste much better than other watermelons, it may be more delicious than the ordinary watermelons in our house, but it is estimated that you were lucky enough to pick a good watermelon." Cui Ping quickly solved a watermelon, reached out and prepared to take the watermelon on the table, as for the disdain of the people watching the excitement next to her, she didn't care, eating in the stomach is the most important, as for other people talking nonsense, it's really nothing, anyway, it doesn't lose meat, love to talk about it.
"Go and go, the taste is generally you buy it yourself, you are rich and you buy it yourself, we poor people rarely buy a watermelon to taste the taste." Lin Shuqiang doesn't look down on Cui Ping, but he is not a stingy person, otherwise he would not have a good relationship with the people in the village.
"Second brother, don't say that your watermelon tastes really good; It's a lot sweeter than the watermelon we usually buy, and it's normal to estimate that it's a little more expensive. This watermelon is juicy and crispy. Where did you buy it, I'll get one tomorrow and come back, and if it's more expensive, it'll be more expensive, and I'll give it to my family. "The one who shaved his head was Lin Shuqiang's younger brother Lin Shuyang, and he nodded again and again while eating watermelon; He has only one daughter at home, and he is usually not very diligent, but he doesn't need to save much money to buy a house if he doesn't want to raise a son, so his family's quality of life has always been good.
"This watermelon hasn't come out much yet, Lin Shanna, I'm lucky to pick up a ripe watermelon, if you want to buy it, you may have to wait, it seems that there are a few ripe melons now." Lin Shuqiang didn't think much about it, anyway, they were all from the village, and if Lin Shan's watermelon started to be sold out, the villagers would definitely not be able to hide it, and there was nothing to hide.
"Lin Shan's family? Lin Shan also planted watermelons? The people who tasted these watermelons were stunned, they were all from the village, and the general details were very clear, they really didn't think that Lin Shan actually planted watermelons, and the taste was still so good.
"Well, he seems to have just started to try planting now, and he doesn't plant much. If you buy it, hurry up, but they are all from the village, and you know his situation, so don't think of taking advantage of him; This watermelon is not simple, and it is normal for the price to be a little expensive, it's not that he cheated you or something. "Lin Shuqiang can be regarded as an ambush for the people in the village in advance, Lin Shan's watermelon tastes good, and it will naturally be more expensive, so it is better to say some things first, they are all from the village, if these things are unpleasant, everyone's face is not good-looking.
"What this is saying is that this watermelon tastes good and is naturally more expensive. If you want me to talk about being a little more expensive, the quality of the things is good, and the price is naturally high, and no one will talk about Lin Shan killing or something. Liu Hu, who squatted at the door and finished chewing the watermelon, threw the watermelon skin and went out directly.
"Little tiger, you eat watermelon and run?" Zhang Shuyang said jokingly.
"I know how to eat it, there are not many watermelons in Lin Shan's house, you greedy people must buy them, I'll go and take one home first, otherwise I won't have to eat it!" Liu Hu's words made the people who were still eating watermelon just now stunned, and then they also shouted and walked towards the back of the village, where Lin Shan lived in the mountain temple.
