"Then I'll go to the well and get the watermelon out." Liu Liang put aside the accessories in his hand, turned around and walked towards the well.

The watermelon is not small, and it looks like a dozen pounds. Aunt Li made a net pocket with hemp rope, put the watermelon in the net bag, and went down with a rope, and soaked it in the well water.

Liu Liang scooped up the watermelon with three strokes and five divisions, and Song Yanzhi couldn't wait to stretch out his hand: "Give it to me, I'll hold the big watermelon!" ”

"Beware of Shen." Saying this, Liu Liang still handed the watermelon to Song Yanzhi.

Song Yanzhi held the watermelon and planted it crookedly, but he quickly stood up, holding the cold watermelon, and his hot red face could be regarded as showing a saved smile.

Aunt Li and Xiangling were cooking in the kitchen, and when they saw Song Yanzhi and Liu Liang bringing in such a big watermelon, they asked:

"It's about to be lunch, why did my son move the watermelon out of the well? Now that you've eaten it, can you still eat it at noon? ”

Song Yanyi wiped his nose: "Then it's my sister to blame!" Who made her okay to mention any ice products! I seduce all my cravings, and I can't eat ice and have to use watermelon instead. ”

"Wow, I said bad things about my sister while my sister was away, but I was caught." Song Lingyue quietly appeared behind Song Yanzhi, and there was a brain collapse on the back of his head.

"Sister." Song Yanzhi turned around, coquettishly seemed to stretch his tone, and plunged into Song Lingyue's arms.

"It's hot." Song Lingyue hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop Song Yanzhi from running into her arms.

"Aunt Li, it's too hot, let's eat some watermelon first, let's eat lunch later." Song Lingyue discussed with Aunt Li.

"That's fine! However, I'm going to make you cold noodles at noon. Just in time, the watermelon was taken out, so I hung the noodles in the well and froze. Aunt Li wiped her hands on the linen cloth and took out a sea bowl, which was full of strong white noodles.

The cucumbers have been shredded, the bean sprouts have been blanched, and the soy sauce and vinegar used to mix the noodles have been put into a small bowl.

If you can add some peanut butter or tahini sauce to it, and then you can add some chili oil, it will be really delicious.

Song Lingyue wiped the saliva that didn't exist in her mouth, and suddenly remembered that the peppers planted in the backyard didn't know what was going on, and it had been a while, I don't know if it had begun to blossom and bear fruit?

During this time, she was busy with the affairs of the hospital, and she neglected to manage the medicinal herbs and vegetables in the backyard, and Xiangling and Song Yanzhi were taking care of the two of them.

So, Song Lingyue asked: "Xiangling, how are the peppers planted in the backyard?" Is it mature? ”

"Chili?" Xiangling was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, "Is the master talking about that 'demon horn'?" ”

"Yes." Song Lingyue thought for a while before she remembered that the 'devil horn' in Xiangling's mouth was the chili pepper she said.

Compared with the 'Demon Horn', Song Lingyue still likes to call it the name chili.

"It's ripe, I saw them bear a lot of fruit the other day, and it's the same as the shopkeeper introduced, one by one, standing up to the sky, like the sharp horns of a demon." Xiangling excitedly reported to Song Lingyue:

"It's not just the 'Demon Horn' that bears fruit, but also the lantern fruit, which also bears fruit the size of a fist, it was still green a few days ago, but it was already red yesterday, and sure enough, it's as red as a lantern!"

"Really? Are peppers and tomatoes ripe? Song Lingyue's eyes widened in surprise, "Take me to see it!" ”

Song Lingyue excitedly pulled Xiangling and was about to run in the direction of the vegetable garden, but Aunt Li behind her was still shouting for unknown reasons: "Huh! You're leaving? Don't eat watermelon anymore? ”

Song Lingyue turned around and shouted to Aunt Li, "I'll eat watermelon when we come back later." ”

"There's really nothing you can do with them." Aunt Li shrugged her shoulders, "Why don't I cut the watermelon first, and you eat it first?" ”

Aunt Li held a knife in her hand and asked Qi Mo and the others who were still in the kitchen.

Qi Mo shook his head: "Then let's wait for Lingyue and the two of them to come back." However, that 'Demon Horn' is the 'Demon Horn' from the Western Regions? ”

Qi Mo has heard of the demon horn, which is a very strange flower, and it is said that it was passed down from the merchants of the Western Regions.

Qi Mo also heard that at that time, the merchant from the Western Regions said that the 'devil's horn' was edible, and a wealthy merchant in the capital bought it for his subordinates to eat, but the subordinates' lips directly swelled, saying that all the mouths and tongues were full of hot pain, as if they had sores in their mouths.

He didn't expect that Song Lingyue would plant strange things like 'demon horns' in the vegetable garden in addition to planting medicinal herbs.

"What's that lantern fruit?" The name Lantern Fruit has never even been heard of by Qi Mo, who has always been well-read.

Liu Liang also shook his head, he had never heard of such a thing.

Instead, Aunt Li smiled and said, "Ling Yue said that it is a kind of vegetable and fruit, which can be used as both vegetables and fruits." Just ......"

Aunt Li paused and added: "It's just that I heard that the lantern fruit is actually poisonous, saying that there is a scholar or something, and after eating a bite of the lantern fruit, his face turned purple and blue, and he died not long after." ”

Aunt Li had a frightened look on her face.

A cold sweat broke out on Liu Liang's forehead: "Miss Lingyue shouldn't want to grow these two things to eat, right?" ”

Qi Mo smiled bitterly: "I see that she is so excited, eighty percent of her really wants to eat." ”

"Aren't those two things inedible?" Aunt Li looked worried.

"She often talks about Shennong's taste of herbs, so she will have "Shennong's Hundred Herbs", so I think she may really eat it, and if it is not good, she will let us eat it together." Qi Mo didn't want to know that Song Lingyue would do this.

"Lingyue shouldn't be joking with our lives." The smile on Aunt Li's face had stiffened on her face.

In the small vegetable garden, Song Lingyue and Xiangling were carefully observing the rise of peppers and tomatoes.

Sure enough, as Xiangling said, the peppers planted before have grown, and they are rushing to the sky like a cupola, and the red ones are very attractive.

"These peppers should be ready to be picked. I didn't expect that the chili seeds of two chili peppers could grow so many chili pepper seedlings. Song Lingyue was very pleased, she didn't expect that the chili pepper could really grow, not to mention that it grew very well.

Song Lingyue counted the two chili pepper seeds before, at most there were only dozens of chili seeds, and she was worried that it would be good to be able to send out more than a dozen chili pepper seedlings, but she didn't expect to see that at least half of the chili seeds had grown chili seedlings and produced red chili peppers.

"Xiangling, you pick all these peppers with me, you see, if you want to pick them from here, don't pull them down." Song Lingyue disguised it to Xiangling, and the two of them worked together to quickly collect all the pepper seedlings in a small ridge.

Song Lingyue weighed it, and the pepper seedlings in this small ridge had about two and a half catties of chili peppers, which was really a bumper harvest.

Song Lingyue set aside half a catty of two and a half catties of chili peppers as a seed reserve.

"Half of these peppers are used to roast and dry to make dried peppers, and half are pickled to make chopped peppers, so that there are many more dishes to eat." Song Lingyue secretly paid for it, thinking of the delicious chopped pepper fish head, and the hot pot with spicy oil that was finally possible to eat, she only felt that the saliva in her mouth began to flood again.

"Master, then, the lantern fruit over there, isn't it a tomato, why don't you pick some too?" Xiangling pointed to the tomato vine on the side, the tomato had grown so big that it was almost bent off.

"Pick the two biggest." Song Lingyue instructed, and at the same time pulled out a few relatively long withered bamboos from the pile of firewood piled up on the side, simply made a shelf, tied them with straw, and inserted them next to the tomato vines, and then carefully lifted the tomato vines that had spread along the roots of the wall and put them on the shelves.

"I forgot that tomatoes grow on vines, and I wish they could grow along the shelf." Song Lingyue muttered quietly.

After a while, Song Lingyue and Xiangling returned to the small kitchen with a basket of chili peppers and tomatoes.

"What are you all doing in the kitchen?" Song Lingyue saw the watermelon on the board that had not been cut, and asked, "Why don't you eat watermelon?" ”

"You didn't come back, how can we eat first?"

"That's right, sister! You've been with Xiangling for a long time! Song Yanzhi poked his head out from behind Qi Mo. Is this the 'Demon Horn' and the Lantern Fruit? ”

Song Yanzhi was curious and wanted to reach out to touch it, but Aunt Li pulled it back all of a sudden, and whispered: "I don't know if these things are poisonous or not, so don't touch them." ”

Looking at Aunt Li's cautious appearance, Song Lingyue couldn't help but laugh: "Aunt Li, I know both of these things, and they are not poisonous." Not only is it non-toxic, but it also tastes very good. ”

"Really?" Aunt Li was still a little suspicious, "We haven't eaten all those things, can we really eat them?" ”

"Aunt Li, don't forget, I'm a doctor, and every doctor will learn the method of identifying poisons, so don't worry about it." Song Lingyue comforted and took out a tomato from the basket, "That's it, I'll show you a hand first, you can taste it, and let me say, this tomato is even better than watermelon." ”

Song Lingyue squeezed her eyes, scooped water with a scoop of water, and cleaned the soil on the tomatoes.

I put the tomato on the cutting board, took a kitchen knife and cut the tomato into eight equal pieces, and then used the tip of the knife to remove the green tomato stalk and put the tomato into a large bowl for noodles.

Not to mention, this is no pesticide sprinkling, no chemical fertilizer, pure natural tomato, this taste is different.

This hasn't been eaten yet, just by cutting it with a knife, there is a strong tomato aroma, sweet and sour, making the mouth water about to come out.

If it weren't for the fact that the amount of a tomato was too small, Song Lingyue really wanted to steal a piece.

If such a sweet and sour tomato is sprinkled with sugar, wouldn't it ruin the original taste?

Thinking like this, Song Lingyue only sprinkled white sugar on half of the tomatoes, and the other half maintained the original taste.

"Alright, you guys have a taste. This half is plain, and the other half is sugar, so let's try it. Song Lingyue handed the bowl to Qi Mo and the others.
