Mrs. Cui had eaten cantaloupe, and it was said that it was a tribute from foreigners. At that time, her father, who was a bachelor, was very trusted by the emperor, and he also received a reward. There were only two of them.

The father took it home very rarely and shared it with her.

But that melon is white and green, small in size.

The color in front of her eyes is much better. Before she could eat it, the sweet taste made her swallow.

The village chief was also excited. With trembling hands, he divided Jiayin and Mrs. Cui each, and then couldn't wait to take a bite.

He shed tears almost immediately, "This... this is too delicious, sweet, really sweet! Mr. Ye is such a kind person, he found such a fairy fruit for the village! Woohoo, this will definitely sell for a lot of money!"

Madam Cui nodded again and again, "Such a melon can be bought for a tael of silver and a catty. It is much sweeter than the tributes I have eaten before."

Jiayin even ate with melon seeds sticking to the tip of her nose, praising the nursery in the space desperately.

She just tried it briefly at the beginning, and didn't expect it to succeed at all.

As a result, seedlings grew out of such shriveled melon seeds in the nursery.

The most rare thing is that the quality of cantaloupe has also improved a lot. After all, she ate the neighbor's cantaloupe in her previous life, and it is definitely not as sweet as the one in her hand!

She looked at the large melon field in front of her, her eyes were shining.

This is not a melon field, this is a cornucopia!

Apparently the village chief thought the same way, he wiped his face hard, and shouted, "No, I want to bring everyone in the village to see the melon field! No wonder I think there are a lot of mice in the field recently, so they come to steal melons ! No way, such a good thing, can’t be fed to mice!”

But Jiayin was more concerned about the other piece of cold melon. It stands to reason that the cold melon ripens a few days earlier than the cantaloupe.

She took her chubby legs and was about to run over, but unfortunately the melon seedlings blocked the way, tripping her so that she fell to the ground, and could only look innocently and aggrieved at the village chief and Mrs. Cui.

The chubby little girl, wearing a bright red summer shirt, was lying among the green melon seedlings, no matter how she looked, she was so happy and funny that the village chief and Mrs. Cui bent over laughingly.

Mrs. Cui stepped forward to hug her, and said angrily, "Does it hurt from the fall? The calves are so short, and I want to run everywhere!"

"Eat cold melon, it's sweeter!" Jiayin struggled into the cold melon field, and the village chief hurriedly led the way with his hands behind his back, "Let's take Fu Niu to see the cold melon. If she can find ripe cantaloupe, she must also find ripe ones." melon."

Soon, we arrived at the cold melon field.

Cold melons don’t have as many knots as muskmelons, but each one is the size of a pottery pot. It’s not easy to hide under the melon seedlings. They can only be turned green and black by the sun.

Jiayin was afraid of being tripped, so she simply crawled in the ditch, and when she saw a big watermelon, she reached out to pat it.

After passing by like this for five or six times, she finally spotted a voice that was a little empty, and she was satisfied with the left and right pats, so she raised her face and shouted, "It's done, this one is done!"

The village chief stepped forward and kept taking pictures, and compared it with the cold melon next to him, he knew it.

He took out a small dagger from his pocket, made a small triangular cut on the cold melon, and then pulled out a piece of the cold melon.

Under the black and green skin, there is actually a bright red flesh. A drop of light red watermelon juice drips down, shining brightly under the sunlight.

The village chief swallowed hard, and with slightly trembling hands, brought the cold melon to Jiayin's mouth.

Jiayin was not too polite, she took a bite and slapped her hands happily, "It's so sweet and delicious!"

Both the village head and Mrs. Cui laughed, "Sweet is good, sweet is good!"

Mrs. Cui pulled up her sleeves to shield Jiayin from the sun, and said to the village chief.

"Uncle, if people in our village pick up such a good thing and sell it in the city, I'm afraid they won't be able to fetch a good price. Why don't I ask someone to invite Brother Liu's family to come over? He has many connections, so it's best to sell it to those wealthy families. "

"Okay, okay, this is great." The village head was overjoyed, "Take this cold melon and give it to Mr. Liu to taste, and pick two more muskmelon. You have to let others know if something is good before giving it to us. It's business."

Madam Cui smiled and nodded repeatedly.

The old lady fell asleep until the sun was slanting to the west, turned over and sat up, but she was startled when she saw her granddaughter on the kang, and hurried outside shouting, "Fu Niu, Fu Niu!"

Sister-in-law Qiong stood up under the eaves of the verandah, and replied, "Don't worry, old lady, our wife has carried Fu Niu out to play."

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, before she could say anything else, Mrs. Cui and the village chief came back with good news in their arms.

Mrs. Li quickly picked up her granddaughter and patted her, "I was really scared to death. I thought I was sleeping and lost my granddaughter."

Jiayin quickly pointed to the cold melon in the arms of the village head, and presented the treasure with grandma, "Grandma, the melon is ripe, I picked it!"

"Oh, why did you go to the fields to harm cold melons? This is a precious thing!" Mrs. Li nodded her granddaughter's nose, but the village head laughed, "Fu Niu didn't waste anything, Fu Niu helped a lot today !"

Madam Cui also greeted Sister-in-Law Qiong with a smile, "Find a basket, take this cold melon and cantaloupe to Liu's house, and hand it over to my brother-in-law. Tell my brother-in-law, big business is coming."

It's rare for Sister-in-law Qiong to see her wife so lively, and she is also happy, so she hurried to get busy.

Mrs. Li asked, "Are the cold melons and cantaloupes ripe? Can they be sold for money?"

"That's right," the village chief said with wrinkles on his smiling face, almost dancing with joy, "Not only is it ripe, it's so sweet and delicious. Our village is getting rich!"

After all, he didn't stay for a moment, and ran directly to find someone to arrange and strengthen the patrol.

This time, not to mention guarding against people and wild animals, even a mouse cannot be let go.

Mrs. Li took Mrs. Cui to drink water under the eaves of the porch. After asking carefully, sister-in-law Qiong packed up and set off.

I don't know if there are too many people moving from Jiangbei, and the new city is so crowded that it is about to explode. It seems that this year's summer is hotter than previous years.

Especially for a fat man like Liu Zhiheng, it's really terrible.

It's okay at night, but during the day I'm sweating all over, and I can't go out if there is no urgent matter.

Although the sun is now slanting to the west, the earth that has been scorched by the sun for a day is still like a steamer.

Liu Zhiheng spread out on a bamboo chair, eating a bowl of ice cream, and two maids fanned him, so he felt better.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but blame, "Master is getting more and more afraid of the heat. There are still two months of summer, so it can't be like this every day."

Liu Zhiheng was also worried. Just when he was about to speak, the porter in the front yard came to report the news.

"Master, the servant of the Cui family came to deliver things, and said that Mrs. Cui ordered them to be delivered to you by hand."

Both Liu Zhiheng and his wife were surprised, after all, Mrs. Liu just came back from Suijintan in the morning.

Liu Zhiheng waved his hand, and the concierge ran out, and soon Sister-in-law Qiong came in with a basket.

After saluting, she smiled and said, "My lord, our wife ordered the servants to give you two good things, and she also sent a word saying that big business is coming!"

Big business coming?

Liu Zhiheng and his wife looked at each other, even more confused.

Until Qiong's sister-in-law opened the basket and took out a cold melon that looked like a clay pot, and two golden cantaloupes.

Liu Zhiheng was stunned for a while, and then jumped down from the bamboo chair with a groan.

"Where did this come from? Cold melon! This is a cold melon!" He almost threw himself on the cold melon and hugged it without letting go. "Such a big cold melon is much better than the ones sent by the foreign clan!"
