Wang Can nodded: "That's right! But when they go to Fucheng, I will go with them, so that they have a guarantee on the way. When I get back and arrange everything, and then they leave, I guess I can still plant one or two rounds. watermelons. Sister, you can help me keep an eye on things at home when the time comes. I would like to take some watermelons with me."
"You want to make money selling watermelons?"
Wang Can shook his head: "No, if I want to sell it, wouldn't it be more convenient to go directly to Brother Cao? I brought the watermelons, just to ask Sister Jiaojiao and Uncle to taste them, and after they taste them, they can try to grow them at home. As for It’s up to them whether they can grow it without using spiritual spring water. If they can grow it, whether they keep it for themselves to eat or sell it, it’s better than not growing it at all.”
"Well, it's up to you. If you grow a lot of watermelons, you can sell them to Brother Cao. You soak the watermelon seeds first, and I'll collect them all in the ground. Since Su Mingshan said Qin Muyang won't do it for a while, If you have something to do, you should be able to afford it if you wait an extra hour."
Because there were winter melons, pumpkins, and watermelons in the ground, Li Yuan was afraid of hurting her hands, so it was convenient to just use a sickle to cut them.
As for the potatoes, Wang Can can harvest them himself when they are empty.
By the time Wang Can came out with the soaked watermelon seeds, Li Yuan's watermelon was almost ready.
Even if she has no common sense, she still knows that generally speaking, a watermelon will bear several fruits.
But in order to ensure the size of the watermelon and its taste, you need to pick off a little bit, leaving one or two watermelons like this.
However, Wang Can didn't plant any. One watermelon seedling actually produced five or six fruits.
She planted six trees and produced a total of thirty-two.
Looking at the size, even the smallest one weighs nearly ten kilograms.
It can be said that this is not scientific at all in modern times.
However, whether it is rebirth, traveling through books, or space and spiritual springs, none of them are scientific, so it is not surprising.
After Li Yuan finished collecting them, she left the two largest ones alone, and left a smaller one for Wang Can. The rest were all put into her space.
"Sister, did you eat when you came here on the way? If not, just take a bite first."
"No, but I also ate some mung bean cake, so I'm not hungry at the moment. Let's go, let's send these two to the old house first. When we get there, Brother Xie should have a good meal. The remaining winter melon Pumpkins, harvest them when you get back.”
"Sister, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. Tell the outside world that you brought these back from outside. Let everyone taste them and plant them as well. I will pick all the rest and dig out the potatoes. Wait for you. Just say it to me before you leave."
"Okay, I'll leave first!"
As Li Yuan spoke, she put two large watermelons into her backpack, then walked toward the old house with a bowl of watermelon seeds soaked in spiritual spring water.
When she arrived, the door of the old house was closed and it was quiet inside.
After thinking about it, she went to Li Qinghua's house again.
Before arriving at Li Qinghua's house, I heard discussions coming from inside.
Li Duo, who was standing in Li Qinghua's courtyard, saw Li Yuan carrying a basket on her back and a bowl in her hand, so he stepped forward to help.
When he saw clearly that there were two big, round things with black and green stripes inside, he asked: "Yuan Niang, what are you carrying?"
"Watermelon! Brother Xie and I got it unexpectedly. We heard that the juice is sweet and quenches our thirst, so we want everyone to try it. The seeds in this bowl are watermelon seeds, and I want the clan to grow them too. If they can be grown, then The clan members can also earn more.”
Li Yuan said this in such a loud voice that Li Qinghua, Old Man Li and others in the main room heard it.
At this time, the elders of the Li clan were also here. When they heard this, they all looked at Xie Yanzhi.
In the watermelon field in Li Yuan's space, the vines are only two fingers long, so Xie Yanzhi has never eaten them.
However, he has seen watermelon recorded in books, but it is not called watermelon, but called cold melon.
After he learned from Li Yuan that watermelon is also called cold melon, he went to read the book he had read.
According to book records, the flesh of the cold melon is pink, the skin is like a winter melon, and there are many swirling "holes" scattered inside.
Therefore, he didn't know the taste at all, and he didn't know what it was like.
But he believed in Li Yuan. Since she said it was juicy and sweet to quench her thirst, that must be the case.
She is a fairy after all, and the things that come out of her cave are all fairy products from heaven. How can they be compared to the ordinary things recorded in the book?
Because of this thought, when everyone looked over, Xie Yan nodded in agreement with an incomprehensible expression.
"Well, Yuan Niang is right. This watermelon is very sweet and has a lot of juice."
As soon as everyone heard this, they spontaneously gathered around.
Li Qinghua squeezed in front. After looking at it, he reached out and touched it. He found that the skin was particularly smooth, so he asked, "Yuan Niang, how do you eat this?"
"Cut it with a knife and eat the red flesh inside. I heard that after eating, you don't need to throw away the watermelon rind. Remove the green part of the skin and leave the white layer for cooking."
Old Man Li and other elderly people were very curious, and when he saw this, he quickly ordered people: "Duozi, go get the knife!"
"Okay!"
As soon as Li Duo left, Li Qinghua sent someone to call the strong laborers in the village.
When everyone arrived, he asked Xie Yanzhi to take a knife and open the watermelon himself.
The watermelon was ripe. Xie Yanzhi cut it lightly with a knife, and the watermelon burst into pieces. Everyone saw this and stretched out their heads to take a look.
Li Qinghua, the clan leader, stretched out his hand to scrape the watermelon juice that flowed out, and then put his fingers dipped in watermelon juice into his mouth.
“Very sweet!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his mother-in-law took the initiative to take the knife from Xie Yanzhi's hand and cut the watermelon into slices.
Two large watermelons were cut into many slices, and everyone present could eat one or two slices.
After eating, everyone spontaneously handed the watermelon seeds to Li Qinghua.
"This thing is good. I have never heard of it in Liuyun County. Once it is planted, I won't have to worry about selling it! Yuan Niang, do you know how to grow this?"
This is what Li Qinghua said to Li Yuan, but he looked at Xie Yanzhi.
To them, Li Yuan is the daughter of the Li family. She must have thought about them when she proposed to let everyone plant this.
The person who really knows how to grow it should be the scholarly son-in-law Xie Yanzhi, who is very knowledgeable.
But they were in no position to ask Xie Yanzhi, so they could only ask Li Yuan.
"I heard that it needs to be planted in sandy land without stagnant water. You can grow watermelon seedlings first. After the seedlings come out, they should be similar to planting corn. One watermelon seedling per pit. I don't know the details. You need to do it yourself. Explore. By the way, Uncle Hua, every watermelon tree bears fruit, no matter how many it bears, remember to pick some at the end and leave one or two. If you are reluctant and leave them all, the other melons will not grow big and may not grow as well. It’s not that delicious.”
As Li Yuan finished speaking, everyone looked at Xie Yanzhi.
