Chapter 354 Waiting for Watermelon

As soon as Ning Xiyue asked the question, the system started to ring.

"Ding, it is detected that the host has finished brewing the wine, and the mysterious gift package is now being distributed."

As the system finished speaking, a large gift box appeared in front of Ning Xiyue.

Ning Xiyue immediately turned her gaze to the place where the two jars of wine were stored.

There was really only one jar of wine missing, and one jar was left for her.

I didn't expect this idea to actually work. Tongzi is simply amazing.

"I love you, Tongzi." Ning Xiyue happily pulled the little turtle lying on the side over and gave it a kiss.

"Host, what are you doing~"

The little turtle covered its forehead shyly, and suddenly turned from ink-black to a pink little turtle flying around in the air, looking very cute.

Ning Xiyue laughed a few times and then turned her attention to the box that Tongzi called a super mysterious gift package, which she had worked hard for more than forty days, and slowly walked over.

As for what can be opened in the mysterious gift box, it is randomly opened according to the host's luck. The little turtle doesn't know what it will be. It also flies over curiously: "Host, open it and take a look."

"Okay, let's take a look at what's inside and see what kind of gifts are inside this super mysterious gift package that deserve such a grand name."

Ning Xiyue untied the firework string and opened the box to see what was inside.

The first thing I took out was a thick, old book.

"A book of winemaking secrets. It looks pretty good."

Ning Xiyue opened the first page of the book and found a table of contents in front of it.

As soon as she looked at the table of contents, she knew the general content of the book.

This book collects four hundred secret recipes for making wine, which are divided into four major categories: grains, fruits, flowers and plants, and medicinal wine, with one hundred recipes in each category.

After reading the table of contents of this booklet, it can be concluded that everything can be brewed.

Ning Xiyue was not very interested in the first three aspects, but was very interested in the last part, the medicinal wine. The effects of those medicinal wines really attracted her.

There are medicinal liquors for external application or internal consumption.

For example, for external application, there are medicinal liquors for treating bruises, rheumatism, colds, gout, mosquito bites, etc.

For example, in terms of internal use, there are medicinal liquors for health care and body conditioning.

Medicines, medicated foods, and medicated liquors are all available.

Ning Xiyue was satisfied. She could get the ingredients to brew any kind of wine she wanted. Medicinal wine could also be used with other medicines to treat diseases. It was necessary to prepare a few bottles of commonly used medicinal wine. She never knew when she might need it. She had to do some research.

The little turtle urged: "This is a good book, host, look what else is there."

Ning Xiyue put the book in her hand aside and continued to take out the box.

Once again, he pulled out a book.

Oh no, it is an alternative five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation. The system statistics did not stop the exercise book of the examination questions from 1951 to 1985 before the college entrance examination.

It's a thick book that covers test questions for all subjects.

“This gift is very special.”

Ning Xiyue accepted this unique edition of "Wu San" produced by the system, rolled it up, and started making it.

"This book is good. The sea of ​​questions tactic is still a very useful method. The host can also understand the thinking of the test makers of this era, which can help the host to reach a higher level. Come on, host, work hard for our brilliant future."

As the little turtle was talking, he started to shout slogans, and now he wanted to play badly for a day. Ning Xiyue, who had her own ideas, said she rejected PUA.

Continue to reach into the gift box to touch the gift.

Finally, she got to touch something interesting to eat, two matcha flavored ice cream cones.

"It's hot, so save it for tomorrow."

She casually threw it into the system backpack and left it there so that it wouldn't melt.

Keep reaching in.

I kept rummaging in the small gift box, but oh no, I couldn't take anything out.

Two more tries and the box disappeared.

That’s all.

Ning Xiyue looked at the two thick books at her feet: "That's fine, I'm very satisfied."

After taking out the gifts, it’s time to go to bed. As for these two books, I’ll talk about them tomorrow. I can’t move today.

＊*

The next day after lunch, Ning Xiyue remembered the ice cream in her backpack.

So she and Ning Qingyuan each took a large cattail leaf fan, which could be used both for fanning and for shade, and walked into the vegetable garden.

Ning Qingyuan squatted in front of a big watermelon with a worried look on his face, knocking and patting it: "Little sister, do you think this watermelon is ripe? Can I pick it? I'm not sure."

Ning Xiyue touched her head and smiled awkwardly:

"I don't know how to tell if a watermelon is ripe. Wang Jiandong said that if the three whiskers on the vine are dry, it's ripe. But Liu Yao's watermelon had three dry whiskers, but the fruit was not fully ripe. The flesh on the edge was still white with a hint of red, and it tasted a little raw, so I'm not sure."

Ning Xiyue looked at the ten big watermelons at home and thought they were really tempting. It would be comfortable to eat a bite of watermelon on such a hot day. She licked her lips and suggested:

"Brother, how about we pick the biggest one and take it back? We're lucky this year. We planted ten melon seeds and got ten big watermelons. If we pick one, we'll still have nine left. This one won't make a difference. And the biggest watermelon makes a thumping sound when we tap it, so it should be ripe. Hmm, how about we take a gamble?"

Seeing her second brother who was hesitant and a little reluctant, Ning Xiyue added fuel to the fire: "If we win the bet, we'll eat watermelon chilled with well water. If we lose, we'll eat fried watermelon. It won't be a waste."

This completely dispelled Ning Qingyuan's desire, and he nodded very seriously: "Well, let's take a gamble."

With a click, the largest watermelon in the whole field was twisted off the vine. Ning Qingyuan held it in his arms with a smile on his face.

"Little sister, I have a feeling it must be ripe. Let's go back and throw it into the well water and wait for the watermelon to be eaten."
