The two of them waited for a while, and Aunt Wu also ran over to ask when the meal would be served, and was told that Zhong Dashan had not come back and would not have dinner for the time being, so Aunt Wu stayed with Jin Mo and waited for Zhong Dashan to come back.

After waiting for less than half an hour, I heard the sound of a donkey barking in the distance, and Jin Mo rushed out at once, and Aunt Wu and Zhang Xiaohua also followed and ran out behind Jin Mo.

"Daughter-in-law, why did you come out, it's too hot, hurry in." Zhong Dashan had just parked the donkey cart and was about to leave Zhong Qiang at home for dinner, but before he could speak, he saw Jin Mo running out, and it was naturally important for his daughter-in-law at this time.

"Why did you come back so late today, what did you do?" Jin Mo directly ignored Zhong Dashan's words and asked them why they came back late.

"Go in first, I'll talk to you later."

"Qiangzi, don't go back, just eat at your uncle's house." Zhong Dashan was talking to his daughter-in-law, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Zhong Qiang's back sneaking away, and immediately called him out.

"Uncle, I'd better go back and eat." He didn't know how many meals he had eaten day by day, and he felt embarrassed himself.

"What's this, this is the uncle's delay, hurry up, don't talk to the uncle."

"Aunt Wu, it's time to eat." Seeing Aunt Wu who came out with her, Jin Mo hurriedly ordered.

"Yes, ma'am." Halfway through, Aunt Wu led her daughter Xiaohua back and headed towards the kitchen.

"Qiangzi, hurry into the house. After a break, you can start eating. Jin Mo then opened his mouth to keep people.

Zhong Qiang, who secretly left, finally couldn't resist the invitation of his cousin and his wife, so he could only follow him into the house again.

When they entered, Aunt Wu and the others had already brought the meal to the table, just waiting for them to take their seats.

"Aunt Wu, go down to eat." After sitting down, Jin Mo spoke.

"Yes, ma'am." The three of them quickly walked out.

After Jin Mo served a bowl of soup to Zhong Dashan and Zhong Qiang, he picked up the chopsticks and ate the vegetables by himself.

The three of them ate silently at a meal, this hour had passed the usual time to eat, everyone was hungry, and they could still take care of talking, and after eating and drinking, Zhong Qiang left Zhong Dashan's house.

"Did something happen?" After eating, as soon as Zhong Qiang left, Jin Mo couldn't wait to ask.

"Good thing, there is a restaurant in the county town that allows us to supply vegetables and fish, and I only promised to supply vegetables, as soon as this winter, and as soon as next spring." Zhong Dashan waited for his daughter-in-law to praise him.

"It seems that the business of Shiweixuan is better than I expected. The business of other restaurants is fading, and they must be in a hurry. "Doing business can not be a monopoly, it is not a way to give others a way to live, the fish has signed an agreement to temporarily only supply Shiweixuan, vegetables have not signed an agreement, their family can naturally sell to others, now there are so many fields in their hands, in addition to the sandy land and dry land where watermelons are planted, after the autumn harvest of the old man, then you can evenly out more than a dozen acres of land for planting vegetables, she wants a way to keep fresh, can transport vegetables to farther towns and sell them.

"I think so too, daughter-in-law, I plan to wait for Mr. Qian's autumn harvest to set aside ten acres of land for planting all kinds of vegetables, eighty acres of land for rice, and sell all the land grown in my own land to grain merchants. If you eat at home, you will steal the dragon and turn the phoenix to use what you have. Speaking of which, Zhong Dashan's voice became softer and softer, and his daughter-in-law's secret could not be known to others.

"Okay, listen to you." She doesn't have much memory of farming, it was all when she was a child in her previous life, she can give advice on other aspects, she knows nothing about farming, there is no spiritual water, let her plant it herself, she can only hehe!

"This is the money from selling fans today, and the Yu family is really generous, a full fifty taels." Zhong Dashan handed over the money from today's fan sales to Jin Mo, "And the Yu family also booked ten fans with me, so that they will be sent before the summer arrives next year, and the money is estimated to be no less." "This time, one is fifty taels, and next year, even if there is no fifty, thirty will still be worth it, and ten will have three hundred taels.

"If you don't mention it, I'll forget about it." Flipping the silver in his hand, "This year is a rarity, next year the price will definitely not be that expensive, but it will not be cheap, this business is still good, but at most a year or two, after those old craftsmen have studied thoroughly, they can also do it themselves." Jin Mo analyzed the market value of the fan to Zhong Dashan, it is worth a lot when it is rare, and the price will fall if it is more, and they must still make money in the early stage.

"Well, I didn't think about making money from fans, but of course I can't miss out on making money." He is not a greedy person, because his daughter-in-law likes it, so he wants to earn more and give his daughter-in-law flowers.

"Well, let's sleep." Putting the silver into the space, Jin Mo lay down and slept.

The days of summer are in Jin Mo's hiding at home all day long, walking slowly, and before I know it, it is the middle of September, and at this time, the day and day have become cooler in the morning and evening.

The air was still a little hot, but it wasn't as unbearable as in summer.

In the quiet passage of summer, Wang Qian has been able to walk on the ground for a short time after such a long time of exercise, which is a very happy thing for the Zhong family, and the face of the ice cube has also loosened a little.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll go to the field to see how the watermelons are doing?" The hearts of the two of them are big enough, since the heavy rain has been seen, Zhong Dashan has only been there once in this month, and the last time he went to the watermelon, there were faint signs of blooming again, I don't know if I can see the fruit in the past this time.

The name of watermelon is also because his daughter-in-law called himself so he followed his feet, asked his daughter-in-law why she called watermelon, and her daughter-in-law couldn't answer, only said that these two words popped up in her head at that time, so she called it so, he suspected that his daughter-in-law was fooling himself, but he couldn't find evidence to prove it, and in the end it was gone, watermelon is watermelon, anyway, it's just a name, there is no need to be too serious.

"I'll go with you." The watermelon was planted, and she only went to see it once in the field, and the watermelon in the space was already ripe, so she waited for the ground to ripen, and then she could mix it together and sell it.

"Wait." Zhong Dashan did not object, and went straight to the utility room to take out the straw hat, even if the sun had not come out at this time, he was not sloppy in his protection work at all.

Jin Mo smiled when he saw the hat he was holding in his hand, and waited for him to put it on himself.

After putting on his hat, he checked it again before he was relieved, and took Jin Mo's hand and went out of the house.

At this hour, the villagers on the road went out to do farm work one after another, and when they met Zhong Dashan and his wife, they greeted them with a smile one by one, and they reached out not to hit the smiling person, and the couple also greeted them with a smile.

When I came to the ground, the watermelon vines had already climbed all over the ground, and the green patch was very eye-catching, which attracted the villagers not far away.

Seeing the couple coming to the field, they immediately put down the work in their hands and hurried over.

"Dashan, what are you planting in this field? I saw that it seemed to have borne fruit, and they were all round. He has been curious for a long time, every time he passes by here, he will stop and look at it for a while, it is obviously sandy land, but it can make this thing look exceptionally pleasing, but he doesn't know what this thing is, he wants to go to Zhong Dashan's house to ask, he is afraid that he will be abrupt, and he finally meets it at this time, and he has no worries.

"The foreigners call it watermelon, it is a kind of fruit, I haven't seen anything specific, this is also what I went to Yuzhou Mansion to buy from the foreigners, I want to try all kinds of sees, if the planting is successful, we can also taste it." Zhong Dashan directly put the name watermelon on the heads of the outsiders, anyway, there are no outsiders here, who will go to them for verification.

"Fruit, hey, this old and expensive is only eaten by big families." When the villagers heard the fruit, they were afraid, and the fruit was not something they could afford to eat.

But Zhong Dashan is really bold enough, he is not afraid that he will not be able to grow it, and this money will be wasted. "This seedling is not cheap, is it? You're not worried about losing? ”

"I didn't think about it so much, I can't just waste this sandy land and dry land, and maybe I can do it if I try everything." Loss, with his daughter-in-law here, how can he lose money, making money is real.

"It's just that you're bold, and other people don't have the courage." After listening to Zhong Dashan's words, the thoughts in his heart were directly dispelled, their family didn't have any money to take Huohuo.

"Xianggong, come on, you've already had a lot of melons." When the villagers talked to Zhong Dashan, Jin Mo went to the field alone to see how these watermelons grow, I don't know if I don't see them, I don't know when I see them, the watermelons are round and round, and I guess that after a while, some watermelons can be picked, so I want to share them with Zhong Dashan.

When Zhong Dashan heard his daughter-in-law calling him, he hurriedly said hello to the villagers around him and walked in the direction of the golden foam in the field.

"You see, these here will be able to be picked in ten days, and then we will taste it ourselves, and then we will see how we sell it." Jin Mo pointed his fingers back and forth at the slices of watermelons, smiling very happily.

"Are you sure, daughter-in-law?" How to see this as immature, he doesn't know anything.

"Of course."

"How can you tell if it's immature?"

"Simple, first of all, we have to look at the color of the watermelon skin, the general color is green, indicating that the watermelon is still tender, the color of the melon skin is slightly lighter, a little whitish is one of the signs of watermelon ripeness. The second is to look at the whiskers of the watermelon, the ripe watermelon will become wilted close to its whiskers, if it is fresh and tender, the watermelon is not ripe. When it came to Guasu, Jin Mo specially pointed out the place so that Zhong Dashan could observe up close whether it was as she said.

"Xianggong, do you see the melon whiskers?" Jin Mo asked after waiting for a while.

"Well, I see, I understand this." As for why his daughter-in-law knows so much, Zhong Dashan has directly ignored it, as long as the daughter-in-law does not leave him, nothing else matters, so it is not difficult for him to accept it at all, and even feels honored, whose daughter-in-law can have his family's smart and capable.

"Then I'll move on."

"Hmm."

"The third is to look at the vine at the junction with the watermelon, if the watermelon is ripe, the vine will become shorter, and the fourth is to pick it by hand, the ripe watermelon is relatively lighter. Fifth, put the watermelon on one hand, pat the other side of the watermelon with the other hand, the ripe watermelon, the hand will feel the vibration, this is called hand, is one of the important signs of watermelon ripeness. Sixth, look at the watermelon vine and watermelon leaves, if the melon vines and melon leaves are very tender, it means that the watermelon is not ripe, if the melon vines and leaves are a little old, it means that the watermelon is almost ripe. There is also to play the watermelon with the index finger or middle finger of the hand, listen to the sound, if it is very crisp, it means that the watermelon is not ripe, if the sound is very honest, the watermelon means that it is ripe. This is actually not difficult, you can easily pick watermelons to the chance of immaturity if you master a few points, but it will not be very much, mistakes are inevitable, who can guarantee foolproof. ”

Jin Mo said in one breath about how to identify the ripe knowledge of watermelon, which she saw from the Internet, and she had to actually operate it.
