Chapter 158 The First Melon of the Great Xia Dynasty
Bingyue's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was originally worried that Lin Xiao would not let her leave, but now she heard Lin Xiao's words and nodded immediately:
"Thank you, Brother Lin! I will definitely make a difference!"
Lin Xiao looked at Bingyue's expression of tears of gratitude and couldn't help but smile:
"It doesn't matter whether you can make a breakthrough, what matters is saving your life!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. The food is getting cold, so hurry up and eat!"
When Zhang Yue heard Lin Xiao's instructions, she couldn't help curling her lips, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Seeing this, Bingyue also had a smile on her face, then sat down and started eating.
Just halfway through the meal, Xiao Zhouzhou walked out of the back room, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Seeing that everyone was eating and no one was paying attention to her, she felt extremely wronged and burst into tears.
"Woo."
Xiao Zhouzhou cried and pointed at Lin Xiao and others with his little fat finger:
"You are all bad guys! Don't care about Zhouzhou, Zhouzhou is so scared alone!"
Zhang Yue quickly put down her bowls and chopsticks and looked at Xiao Zhouzhou with a flattering expression:
"Good boy Zhouzhou, mom saw that you were sleeping soundly, so she didn't wake you up. So, can you forgive me?"
"not good!"
Xiao Zhouzhou cried even more fiercely, her beautiful eyes were shining with tears, her shoulders were twitching, and she looked at Zhang Yue pitifully.
Zhang Yue was so cute by Xiao Zhouzhou's cute little appearance, she quickly picked up Xiao Zhouzhou and coaxed:
"Zhouzhou, be good, stop crying, okay, mommy was wrong? Can Zhouzhou forgive mommy?"
Wanwan couldn't sit still anymore. To put it bluntly, her current identity was that of Xiao Zhouzhou's maid. The eldest lady was having a tantrum. How could she, a maid, have the nerve to sit still?
She also put down her bowls and chopsticks, ran to Xiao Zhouzhou, and coaxed her:
"Miss, please stop crying and make funny faces for you every night, okay?"
"not good!"
Xiao Zhouzhou said something bad, but stopped crying, then raised his head, blinked his big watery eyes, and looked at Wanwan.
Xiao Zhouzhou's pitiful little appearance really makes people want to hold the best things in the world in front of her.
"Then...whatever the eldest lady wants, can I buy it for you?"
"Okay, Zhouzhou wants to eat watermelon."
After Xiao Zhouzhou finished speaking, he imitated an adult and pretended to sigh deeply, as if he was regretting something.
"Watermelon? What kind of melon is that?"
Wanwan has never heard of watermelon. In her impression, she seems to be the only one who recognizes winter melon.
"Miss, what kind of melon is watermelon?"
"Woooo~~Sister Wanwan is a bad person. She just promised Zhouzhou
Of! Now you don’t even know what a watermelon is, ugh~~ bad guy!”
The more Xiao Zhouzhou talked, the angrier he became. His fleshy little face turned red and he was about to cry.
When Lin Xiao saw this, he quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks, walked over, and took Xiao Zhouzhou into his arms:
"Isn't it just watermelon? Xiao Linzi will get it for you to eat!"
"Master, there are no watermelons in the house!"
When Lan Lian heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face. She had never heard of the word watermelon. Where did the watermelon come from at home?
"I said yes!"
Lin Xiao glanced at Lan Lian mysteriously, and opened the back door amidst everyone's surprised gazes.
Using the light in the house, Lin Xiao quickly found the watermelon seedlings that had already produced fruit. Two seedlings actually produced three watermelons. What an unexpected bonus!
She patted the watermelon gently, picked out a ripe one and hugged it back.
Zhang Yue was shocked when she saw the big green and black watermelon in Lin Xiao's arms:
"You, you, are really pregnant?!"
The watermelon seedlings that Xiao Zhouzhou planted in Ai Lushi's backyard withered before they bore fruit. Knowing that Lin Xiao could grow them, he gave all the watermelon seedlings to her!
Xiao Zhouzhou looked at the big watermelon in Lin Xiao's arms, clapped her hands and cheered:
"Oh! Oh! There is watermelon to eat! There is watermelon to eat!"
This is watermelon?!
Wanwan, Bingyue and Lanlian were stunned for a moment, and were surprised when they realized what they were doing.
Lan Lian's eyes widened even more. She didn't expect that the strange thing she fertilized and watered every day was actually watermelon!
At first she thought it was a mutant winter melon!
"Lan Lian, get me a basin of water and a knife."
Lin Xiao ordered. After hearing this, Lan Lian immediately turned around to prepare.
After a while, she came over carrying a wooden basin.
Lin Xiao put the watermelon into the wooden basin, cleaned it carefully, and then split it with a sharp kitchen knife. The watermelon was split into two, revealing the red flesh inside.
"This...why is there red flesh here? Is it broken?"
Lan Lian was stunned when she saw the flesh of the melon. She blamed herself and said to Lin Xiao:
"Master, I have always listened to you, fertilized it, watered it, and weeded it. I have never forgotten it even a day. I don't know how it could be bad. I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry, you've done a good job, and the flesh of watermelon is originally red."
Lin Xiao held a piece of cut watermelon and handed it to Lan Lian:
"Try it, it's delicious!"
"this……"
Lan Lian hesitated for a moment, but finally took the watermelon from Lin Xiao's hand.
A faint fragrance instantly filled her nostrils, and she couldn't wait to take a bite.
Mmm, very sweet!
Lan Lian narrowed her eyes with satisfaction and couldn't help but take another bite.
What a refreshing taste!
"You all have a try and see if it tastes good. I have only one request. Leave me the black watermelon seeds. I will plant them again!"
Lin Xiao said and took a bite himself.
Sweet is sweet, but not as sweet as imagined.
It seems that the land in Linjia Village is really barren!
Even fertilizing with chicken and duck manure doesn’t work!
Speaking of land, Lin Xiao thought of Aqiu, who once wrongfully accused her of poisoning the rice fields. The land in their village was very fertile!
If they were allowed to grow watermelons, perhaps the results would be better!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's lips curved into a slight smile.
A watermelon was quickly eaten by several people, leaving behind a lot of watermelon seeds and watermelon rind.
"Lan Lian, don't throw away the watermelon rind. Peel off the green and black skin and leave the green flesh inside. Stir-fry it with oil. It will taste delicious!"
Lin Xiao collected the watermelon seeds one by one and taught Lan Lian how to handle the watermelon rind.
This was the first watermelon in the Daxia Dynasty. Lin Xiao wanted to make the best use of it and not waste it at all!
When Lan Lian heard this, she was overjoyed. She had been thinking about what to do with the leftover watermelon rinds from the beginning. Now it seems that they have great uses.
She quickly followed Lin Xiao's instructions and started operating.
Wanwan and others sat around Lanlian and watched her handle the watermelon rinds.
Again, it’s a pleasure to watch people who work quickly!
While several people were watching with great joy, Mazi and Han Xier came over with their account books to report on their work.
