Chapter Ninety-Eight: Eating Melons

Jin Mo's words about how to identify the ripeness of watermelons made Zhong Dashan feel a little difficult to hear, and he was dizzy and dizzy.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll follow along next time you choose, it's easier." Zhong Dashan felt that he didn't know when he would have to figure it out by himself, so it was better to follow his daughter-in-law and watch, so that it was much easier to learn, and after watching more, it was naturally easy to get started.

"That's fine, but we'll have to arrange a group of people in advance so we don't get too busy. These are temporary workers, and I have to find some permanent workers, who will help guard the watermelons now and help farm the land in the future, what do you think? Jin Mo looked up at the yellowing rice in the distance and began to plan what to follow.

There is so much land that you can't do it without hiring people.

"I'll do this, how will I get paid?"

"Twenty yuan a day for temporary workers and thirty yuan a day for long-term workers, do you think this is okay?" Jin Mo has his own plans, although the long-term wages are high, they work tiring and four hours, and the temporary workers only work for a short time in the morning.

"Okay, this salary is as high as the county seat, why not." The daughter-in-law is kind, the salary is just right, and the people in the village have been waiting for his family to recruit workers, so they won't have a chance now.

But it's not used by everyone, he hires people to work, but he doesn't hire people to cheat and cheat, they all have requirements, and those who meet the requirements will be used, and those who don't meet the requirements will be used in vain.

In such a busy day, ten days flew by.

Jin Mo took Aunt Wu's mother and daughter and Wang Qian to the field, she wanted to see if it was similar to her estimate, if there were more ripe watermelons, then she could ask Xianggong to arrange for someone to come and pick watermelons.

Aunt Wu and Zhang Xiaohua are also considered to have seen a lot, after all, they used to serve the ladies of those rich families, and they naturally saw no less, but the watermelons in front of them were the first time they had seen them, and the fruits they had seen were all small, and the big ones were oranges, peaches, apples, etc., and the others were relatively small, cherries, grapes, etc., the size of this watermelon was bigger than the heads of adults, how long did this grow.

"Ma'am, is this a watermelon? That's too big, right? Aunt Wu couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, this is a watermelon, and as for the big one, this should be fine." It may seem big to them, but in her opinion, it's okay, after all, she has seen a lot, and her eyes are very calm.

"Let's go, I'll teach you how to tell if the watermelon is ripe and ready to pick. When the time comes, I will have to trouble you to teach others, and Wang Qian will join you. Jin Mo didn't forget to call Wang Qian, if you don't remember it deliberately, it is easy to forget him, and the sense of existence is very low, which makes her think of those martial arts masters, isn't it described in the TV series, martial arts masters like to hide themselves and not let others perceive their existence, so as to give the other party a fatal blow.

The Wang brothers don't have that kind of atmosphere of rivers and lakes, and they don't know how the two brothers fell into such a predicament, as long as their past is not unfavorable to her and Xianggong, they won't ask about it, who doesn't have some secrets.

"Yes, ma'am." All three spoke at the same time.

Jin Mo taught seriously, and the three of them learned very hard, but the faster they learned, it was Zhang Xiaohua, probably a child, who was curious, so they would learn it as soon as they learned, but Aunt Wu and Wang Qianxue stumbled, but fortunately, after a period of explanation, they finally mastered the skills.

The four of them picked a lot of watermelons, Wang Qian took out a back basket as if he was playing a trick, and there were still three left after putting the watermelons into the back basket, and finally Jin Mo, Aunt Wu and Zhang Xiaohua went home with a big watermelon.

Three plus four in the basket, a total of seven watermelons were picked, and when passing by the village chief's house, Jin Mo gave one directly to their family, and after telling them how to eat, he left, and then gave one to each of the two cousins, as for how to divide it, it was none of her business.

As for the eldest grandfather and Zhong Qiang, she directly asked Zhang Xiaohua to invite them to taste watermelon at home.

When they arrived home with watermelons, they saw Zhong Dashan standing at the gate looking forward to it.

As soon as she saw Jin Mo, she immediately stepped forward to take the watermelon in her hand, "When did you go out?" ”

"It's been a while, have you found someone over there?"

"If you've found it, you can do it anytime."

"Taste it first, taste it before you decide." If it's sweet, you can arrange it tomorrow, if it's not sweet, then stay for a few more days, but it's basically no problem.

"Okay, how do you get this, I'll do it."

"No need for you, I told Aunt Wu, she will bring it over. When you are king, you take a watermelon to the aunt next door and tell them to cut the watermelon with a knife and eat the red flesh inside. "If you buy people, you can make the best use of them, if you don't use them, they will be cranky, in order to reassure their hearts, Jin Mo tries not to do it, let them do it.

"Yes, ma'am." Wang Shi took a watermelon from his brother's basket and went to the next door.

"Childe and Mrs. wait a while, the watermelon will be fine immediately." Aunt Wu beckoned her daughter and Wang into the kitchen.

Watermelon, cut the melon in one go, and then put it on a large plate, and he and Wang Qian took it out one by one.

"Come, let's try it and see if it's sweet." As soon as the watermelon was served, Jin Mo first handed a piece to Zhong Dashan, then took a piece himself, and then beckoned Aunt Wu to bring it to eat by themselves.

The red flesh, a stream of sweetness rushed into the tip of his nose, Zhong Dashan took a breath, and took a bite of a large piece of flesh, and the juice in his mouth was sweet to his heart, "It's delicious, it's very sweet, and the juice is very full." ”

Zhong Dashan said while eating, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"It tastes really good." I also want to take a bite of the golden foam, without the baptism of the potion, the watermelon is very pure, and with the nourishment of spiritual water, the watermelon is more crisp and sweet.

Aunt Wu and the others were also satisfied, this was the watermelon they picked back, and they had a great sense of accomplishment.

Zhong Lin looked at Zhong Dashan with comfort, in a short period of time, he became the richest person in the village from a poor man and a white man, but his heart has not changed, the same as before.

It seems that it is really as they said, Dashan's daughter-in-law is from a Wang family, since she married Dashan, there has been an extraordinary change in this day, so that the whole village is beyond the reach of the dust, and now everyone is looking forward to them being able to help.

"Grandpa, do you like to eat?" Jin Mo asked Zhong Lin with a smile.

"Like, sweet." Sugar is nothing more than that, I never thought I could eat such delicious food at such an age.

"It's good if you like it, you have it at home, if you want to eat it, let the strong son come and get it, you're welcome." She kept in mind what was good to Zhong Dashan, and she was not stingy with what she could help and give within her ability.

"You're making money, but you can't let me give it to Huo Huo." Zhong Lin didn't dare to be greedy for juniors' things.

"Daughter-in-law, can you pick it tomorrow?" Zhong Dashan said after eliminating several pieces of watermelon in a row.

"Yes, tomorrow we will pick a few hundred catties by ourselves and sell them in the county, if the sale is good, we will arrange someone to pick them the day after tomorrow." First determine the market, see how the market reacts, sell well, those watermelons in the field are not worried at all, and they can't be sold, so ~~

Bah, bad spirit, bad spirit, she will definitely be able to sell the watermelon.

"Okay, then we'll try to sell it tomorrow."

Before dawn the next day, all the people of the Zhong family set out together, and when they arrived in the field, Wang Qian taught his brother how to pick watermelons, and Jin Mo taught Zhong Dashan how to pick them, and it took a while to work hard, and there were more than 100 watermelons on the ground, and after picking these watermelons, Jin Mo stopped everyone from continuing to pick them, but asked them to frame and move them to the donkey cart, and after moving all the watermelons to the donkey cart, Wang Shi followed the couple to the county seat, Aunt Wu and Zhang Xiaohua went home to guard, and Wang Qian found a hidden place to guard the watermelon field.

Everyone knew about the Zhong family's planting of watermelons through the mouths of the people in the village, and everyone stretched their necks in anticipation.

There are always some people in the village who are not in tune, if they are not afraid, they are worried, they are afraid of thieves stealing, if you steal one, I will steal one, and no matter how many watermelons there are, they will be given to Huohuo. , Wang Qian stayed here to prevent such a thing from happening.

After Zhong Dashan and his wife arrived in the county seat, they went to Shiweixuan first, and let the shopkeeper taste it first, after all, there are more guests in Shiweixuan, which may cause some businessmen to take a fancy to them.

"Xiao Er, is the shopkeeper here?" Zhong Dashan parked the donkey cart under the shade of the tree opposite, got out of the car and called Xiao Er.

"Zhong Xianggong, are you going to send fish by yourself today?" Xiao Er was surprised when he saw Zhong Dashan.

"No, I have something new I want to ask the shopkeeper if he is interested? Is he in it? ”

"Yes, yes, wait a minute, the little one will call the shopkeeper." Xiao Er quickly ran towards the backyard.

After a while, the shopkeeper walked out behind Xiao Er, and greeted Zhong Dashan warmly, "Zhong Xianggong hasn't seen you for a long time, what have you been busy with lately?" ”

"I planted a fruit from the Outlands, I don't know if the shopkeeper is interested?"

"Outlands fruits? Where, show me? "When the shopkeeper heard that it was a fruit from a foreign land, he immediately came to his senses.

The fruits of the outer regions have not been planted in Dachu, but unfortunately they have not survived to the end, the young master has also planted them in the Zhuangzi in Kyoto, but they have all failed, either the planting is successful and does not bear fruit, or they all die directly, and finally the young master let them give up, can't plant it is a waste of land, the land is precious.

"You wait, I'll go get one." Zhong Dashan quickly hugged a big round watermelon and returned to Shiweixuan.

When the shopkeeper saw the watermelon he was holding in his hand, his eyes were as big as copper bells, his face was full of shock, and he stammered: "This~~~This~~You~~~ This is the foreign fruit you said." "His eyes don't have flowers, isn't this a round melon, eating in summer is the most relieving heat, he tasted it a few times when he was in the capital, the young master also tried to plant, but it didn't work, I didn't expect them to plant successfully, no wonder the young master attaches so much importance to cooperation with them, look, this is not another big surprise, how can this business not be done.
