Chapter 229 Watermelon

Jiang Miao brought a few people to her field. Brother and sister Xu Ziwen have been pampered since childhood. It was new for them to go to the field for the first time.

"Ms. Jiang, what good thing are you talking about?"

Jiang Miao said she wanted to show them something good, so she took them to the field. The crops in the field were not just wheat and millet, but what other treasures could there be.

"Don't worry, you'll know when you get there. They're all delicious."

She calculated the time and found that she would mature around this time.

"Brother Shen, do you know what it is?"

Xu Ziwen's curiosity was aroused by Jiang Miao, but he still couldn't get an answer. He was scratching his head and head.

"I don't know."

Shen Yanqing said he didn't know, but in fact he already had a vague idea of ​​the answer in his heart. The only things Jiang Miao treasured were corn, tomatoes and watermelon.

He helped take care of them while they were growing up. He had only heard the name but didn't know what the fruits looked like, so he was right to say he didn't know. Not only the Xu Ziwen brothers and sisters were curious, but Shen Yanqing was also curious about how to eat these fruits and vegetables.

"Okay, let's hurry up and take a look..."

Jiang Miao's fields are all connected together. The corn stalks are green and tall, and the ears of corn protrude from the leaves. The fruits are plump and ripe right before your eyes. Next to it is half an acre of tomatoes. The fruits are red and green, which is really pleasing.

Jiang Miao didn't go in to pick the fruits first. She turned around and walked towards her destination.

"This time I mainly want you to try this watermelon..."

Jiang Miao lifted up her skirt and went into the field to pick out a large, thin-skinned, sweet watermelon.

It was the first time for Xu Ziwen and others to see watermelon. How to eat this big and round fruit, and whether it was really delicious, the Xu family brothers and sisters were all wondering.

However, Shen Yanqing had unconditional trust in his wife. If Jiang Miao said it was delicious, it must be delicious. He stepped forward and took the watermelon from Jiang Miao's hand, for fear of tiring Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao loosened her grip and smiled sweetly at him.

"Thank you, sir, I'll give you the sweetest piece later!"

"Hey, sister-in-law, I'm here to help you too, and give me a piece of the sweetest piece when the time comes..."

When it came to eating, Xu Ziwen was more active than anyone else. When the watermelon was in Shen Yanqing's hand, he would grab it and hold it for himself. Xu Zilan rolled his eyes and couldn't bear to look down on his stupid brother.

"Ms. Jiang, do you need my help?"

She lifted up her skirt and wanted to follow her into the fields, but Jiang Miao stopped her.

"I've finished picking. Madam Xu, please help me pick tomatoes."

As she said this, she picked another watermelon and handed it to Xu Ziwen, and then pulled Xu Zilan into the field next to her.

"Just pick these red ones. The fruit is sour and sweet. I'll make tomato scrambled eggs for you at noon."

"good."

Xu Zilan didn't know what the tomato scrambled eggs tasted like, but she was still excited about doing farm work for the first time. She had a great time bending down to pick it. Jiang Miao watched for a while, and Xu Zilan became more and more proficient at the work, so she let go for the time being and started working on her own. I went to break the corn nearby.

They arrived in a hurry and did not bring a bamboo basket, so they could only carry the fruits and vegetables they picked. In order to please Jiang Miao so that he could eat more at noon, Xu Ziwen took off his shirt to wrap fruits for the two of them. They just carried a bunch of fruits and vegetables into the house. Got to the city.

"Sir, madam, what are you doing?"

Liang Duo was shocked when he saw their disgraced appearance. Didn't they go to the food court to eat? Why were they covered in mud?

"Hurry up and take it over, I'm exhausted from holding you for so long!"

Jiang Miao handed the fruits and vegetables in her and Xu Zilan's hands to Liang Duo and the others. She shook her sore arm, pulled Xu Zilan through the door, and greeted a few people behind her.

"Let's go in and eat watermelon."

Before they had time to change their clothes, Xu Ziwen walked in with a watermelon in his arms, followed by a greedy Li Biao.

The crops and fruits and vegetables grown by the common people have gradually matured and been brought to the table. Jiang Miao is more mysterious. They have never seen it before. They only think that the red and green fruits are particularly attractive. Now they are finally ready to eat. It's time, and several people are very anxious.

Jiang Miao took a knife from the kitchen, washed all the mud on the outside of the watermelon, and put it on the chopping board after cleaning.

Xu Ziwen and Li Biao looked at her eagerly, their eyes were exactly the same, and they said "I am a foodie". Jiang Miao stopped showing off, and raised the knife in her hand. The melon on the table was cut in half, revealing the red inside. The flesh of the melon is fresh, and a sweet fruity aroma hits your face.

"Wow!"

Xu Ziwen exclaimed in amazement. He felt like a country bumpkin. This watermelon was really strange. It was obviously green on the outside, but who knew the flesh was actually red.

Jiang Miao sliced ​​the melon and handed the two sweetest pieces to Shen Yanqing and Xu Zilan.

"Quickly taste it to see if it's sweet..."

"good."

Xu Zilan reached out and took it. It was not that she had eaten good food before, but this was the first time she saw watermelon. As soon as Jiang Miao opened her mouth, she put it in her mouth.

The pulp is sweet and juicy, refreshing and thirst-quenching. Xu Zilan feels that the heat in her body has been driven away.

“It’s so sweet and juicy. It’s delicious.”

Hearing Xu Zilan's answer, everyone around him couldn't wait. Xu Ziwen quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. The pulp melted in his mouth. Xu Ziwen felt that the fruits and vegetables he had eaten in the past eighteen years were in vain. None of them could compare to the watermelon in front of him.

"It's delicious. This watermelon is so sweet and juicy. It's like a fairy fruit..."

It is estimated that the emperor will not be able to eat it. Thinking of this, Xu Ziwen ate even more happily.

The watermelon on the table was snatched away. Shen Yanqing looked at the empty table, frowned, and handed the watermelon to Jiang Miao.

"You eat."

Jiang Miao was watching others eating melon, but she didn't notice that the table was empty. She suddenly stuffed a piece of watermelon into her hand. When she saw that Shen Yanqing had been paying attention to her and didn't eat first, Jiang Miao felt worried.

"You can just eat. Isn't there another one?"

As she said this, she cut another one. Jiang Miao had long known that one watermelon was not enough for them to share, so she picked an extra one.

Li Biao and others who were eating melons next to them saw that because they were greedy and did not leave any for the lady, the melons in their mouths were either eating or not, and they were all embarrassed in place. That is to say, the master and his wife were good-natured. , there is no airs, otherwise they would have been beaten out just because they were so presumptuous.

"Madam...I..."

Li Biao wanted to give the melon back, but Jiang Miao's eyes were full of disgust when she saw the half-bitten melon.

"Eat yours, there's more here."

"Oh, okay!"

Li Biao smiled stupidly, and seeing that neither Shen Yanqing nor Jiang Miao was angry, he continued to eat the watermelon.

Such a sweet melon can be eaten in Zhenjiang Prefecture. It was because their wife had a good eye and found watermelon seeds in a bag of seeds, otherwise they would have been left to gather dust in the shop.

The more Li Biao thought about it, the more he felt that he was with the right person. In just a short time, Zhenjiang Prefecture has developed so well. He can't finish all the delicacies and fruits every day, and even if the gods come, they won't change them!
