Chapter 252 This is really a watermelon
“Try it at noon to see if it’s sweet!”
Shao Taotao said with a smile: "The watermelons grown by Fifth Sister-in-law must be sweet!"
Qiao Xuan also laughed: "Our Taotao has a sweet mouth!"
This made Taotao laugh awkwardly.
This watermelon is bigger than a large bowl, with green skin and dark green stripes. When Qiao Xuan taps it with her knuckles, it makes a crisp and elastic sound, and she immediately becomes greedy.
You know the watermelons you grow yourself, they must be sweet!
Fang and others had never seen it before, and they only heard about it from Qiao Xuan.
"What is this? Can watermelon really be eaten raw? It's so sweet!"
"I heard there is a kind of melon that is eaten raw and is very sweet!"
Liu Yan opened her eyes wide in shock.
Watermelon? It really is a watermelon! Is she seeing things?
This - this second young lady actually grew watermelons!
Liu Yan couldn't help but say, "This watermelon is a precious thing, we don't see it often here. Every summer, our master can get three or four, and the master and his wife treat it like a treasure. When you cut it open, the red flesh is very juicy and has a fresh fragrance. I heard that it tastes very sweet."
Although Liu Yan was a slave, she was from the county magistrate's family and was "well-informed".
After hearing what she said, everyone looked at the two watermelons with a bit of awe and caution.
"Oh, it's so precious!"
"Hey, that must be something good!"
"Then we are in for a treat, let's try it today!"
Fang said hurriedly, "It's such a precious thing, just taste it, Qiao, you should keep it and sell it for money."
Everyone agreed with this and nodded in agreement.
Although the watermelons are not theirs, farmers are like that by nature. Of course they cannot waste such precious things and they must sell them.
They were already very satisfied and grateful that Qiao Xuan had let them taste this rare treat.
After all, this is a valuable thing that even the county magistrate considers to be extremely valuable.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Mom, there are still a lot of them in the garden. They will be ripe in a few days. It's perfect to eat them in the summer to cool down and quench your thirst! It doesn't matter if you eat more! They are precious when there is nothing. We have plenty at home, so why are they precious? Besides, these seeds can be planted. Plant more in the future, and they will be even less precious!"
Fang bared her teeth and waved her hands, saying, "No, no, keep them and sell them for money. It would be a waste to eat them!"
"It's okay. We are not short of money now, but we are short of delicious food. Hehe! As for the money, we can plant more and sell more next year."
Fang couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, "You!"
Thinking about it, the family is indeed not short of money now. Since the things that can be grown in the land are indeed as Qiao Xuan said, they are not that rare. So I will not say more.
Little did she know that it was thanks to Qiao Xuan that she was growing the watermelons. With the help of her special powers, the watermelons grew very well without any care, and they were big and sweet.
If ordinary farmers planted this, they would have to spend a lot of effort to take care of it, and it might not even grow well.
You know, melon seedlings are very attractive to insects.
If it rains continuously during the flowering, fruiting and growing seasons, it is possible that all the flowers will be wiped out.
But these are not a problem for Qiao Xuan, she can easily avoid them.
Therefore, her melon seedlings grew exceptionally well, and the fruits were large and plentiful.
Fang and her friends didn't understand this, so they thought it was easy to grow, and if there were a lot of fruits, they would naturally not be precious.
