Chapter 162 Seedless Watermelon is a Big Selling


0

As he was speaking, Xia Jinjun's voice came from outside, "Mom, mom, come out and take a look."

Facing her son, Old Lady Xia lost her good temper towards her granddaughter. "Why are you yelling? I'm not dead yet."

Xia Jinjun still smiled and said, "Come and have a look."

Old Mrs. Xia snorted, then took her granddaughter to the yard and saw the brothers Xia Jinjun and Xia Jinyu each holding a big watermelon with silly smiles on their faces.

"Is this... cooked? Why is it so big?" Old Mrs. Xia exclaimed.

"It sounds like they're ripe. Let's pick two and bring them back for everyone to try." Xia Jinjun said with a smile.

He didn't expect that the watermelons he planted for the first time could grow so big. The two brothers were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

But Mrs. Xia glared at him and said, "Why pick so many? Keep them to sell. Each melon is worth a lot of money."

I know my mother is stingy with the money, but my two brothers don’t think so.

"Mom, our watermelons may be ripe. There are plenty in the fields. We don't need these two. We have a big family, so one is not enough."

That's true. Old Lady Xia nodded and said, "Third wife, come out quickly."

Cheng Han had already walked out when she heard the noise. She responded and someone came over. "Wow, such a big watermelon! This is the first time I've seen one."

"Second brother, you are really amazing."

Xia Jinjun smiled, but he didn't do anything. "Maybe the watermelon seeds are good."

Of course, this is a newly developed seedless watermelon, you will know it later.

"Mom, open one!" Xia Jinyu licked his lips. Not only was he thirsty, but he also wanted to see the results.

"Your second sister-in-law went to deliver the goods and hasn't come back yet." said Old Mrs. Xia.

"Mom, isn't there another one? Keep that one for her." Xia Jinjun said.

Old Madam Xia looked at the two watermelons and said, "Save the big one for her. To be honest, I can't help it. Third brother, go get a knife and take a look inside!"

"Okay." Xia Jinyu walked into the kitchen with a smile and soon came out with a clean knife.

When the first cut was made, the whole family held their breath. Xia Jinyu also swallowed nervously, not daring to move too quickly. Unexpectedly, the watermelon exploded after the knife entered. The crisp cracking sound gripped the nerves of the whole family.

As the watermelon began to crack, the whole family stared at it without blinking. Their hearts jumped into their throats when they saw the red inside.

"Red, it's ripe, it's ripe!" Xia Jinjun shouted loudly, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.

This is the result of several months of hard work. It would be strange if I wasn't excited.

Just when the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Jinyu shouted, "Oh my God!"

"What...what happened?" Old Mrs. Xia's voice was shaking.

Xia Jinyu saw it most clearly from this angle. "Why... why doesn't this watermelon have any seeds? Could it be rotten?"

"Let me see, how can a watermelon have no seeds?" Xia Jinjun leaned over to look. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, had he seen a pig run?

"Oh, really not!" Xia Jinjun's face didn't look good and he was confused.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Old Mrs. Xia didn't know either. "Really not, but the watermelon looks pretty red. I just don't know if it can be eaten."

[It's edible. What can't be eaten? It's even more delicious if you don't spit out the seeds. 】

Old Mrs. Xia looked at her granddaughter and said, "How about I try it first?"

She is old anyway, and she has lived up to her full potential.

"Mom, let me do it." Xia Jinjun was reluctant to let his old mother taste it first. If there was really something, he would have to do it. However, the little girl said it was okay, so it should be okay.

"Let me do it, second brother."

While a few people were arguing, Xia Zhiliao had already taken a piece and started eating it. Mm, it was really sweet.

It’s not much different from the ones she grows in the space. Seedless watermelons are delicious and easy to eat.

"Zhiliao, what did you eat?" Xia Jinjun looked at the little girl worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"It's good. It's sweet, Daddy. It's crunchy and delicious."

When the Xia family saw that the little girl was fine, they felt relieved, and seeing the way the little girl was eating, they couldn't help themselves.

Then try them all.

Soon, the whole family had a very satisfied look on their faces after eating.

"It's really delicious. I don't have to spit out the seeds. I can eat a big one by myself." Xia Jinyu said.

"It's delicious." Cheng Han smiled, but she put it down after taking a few bites.

"Why don't you eat it?" Xia Jinyu asked, "Second sister-in-law and nephews all have it. Is there one left for them?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, just eat it. If it's not enough, we can go to the fields to pick more. We have plenty of this at home."

"Brother, I know this is a cold food. I am pregnant and I dare not eat too much."

Xia Jinjun blushed, he really didn't know this. When his wife was pregnant, the family didn't have the conditions to do this. There wasn't enough food to eat, and they still had to buy watermelons.

"Aunt San, it's okay to eat less. The little brother in your belly is fine."

Old Mrs. Xia believed her granddaughter, "Yes, eat a little more. You don't eat like this every day."

The watermelon was really delicious. Cheng Han had never eaten such a sweet watermelon before, and she couldn't help herself. "Then...then I'll have another piece."

Old Mrs. Xia smiled and nodded, "Second and third brothers, you have successfully grown the watermelons. That's great."

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, which was beyond expectations.

Soon, Xia Jinjun took another watermelon to share with Ling He and his sons. When Xia Chen came back, the other watermelon was cut.

After eating it, she was full of praise, "Jinjun, you are really amazing. You can grow such delicious watermelons."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that there could be a watermelon without seeds. The third brother and I will go to the field and pick two more to see if they are all like that. This watermelon is rare, we have never seen one before."

The news that the Xia family's watermelons were big and sweet spread quickly throughout the village. Especially since the watermelons had no seeds, everyone thought they were rare. Some people even bought one to try and see how delicious it was.

But not everyone can afford it or is willing to buy it.

Some people even say jealously that seedless watermelon is bad, and eating it is like eating watermelon and will not make you pregnant.

After this news spread, people in the village no longer dared to buy it. No matter how delicious it was, they were afraid that it would run out of stock.

Originally, the Xia family didn't make any money from selling to people in the village, but they didn't want to be told such a thing.

But good things are never hard to sell. With Xia Jinheng and Lei Jiuniang around, they were delivered directly to the county.

There are many rich people in the county, and this thing is really rare. Some people bought a whole truckload at one time, and at least ten or eight.

Not only was the price doubled compared to selling to villagers, but it also saved a lot of trouble.

Xia Jinjun never thought that after studying for so long, he could actually make a name for himself by farming.
