Chapter 75 There is a Watermelon
Anyway, there are many vine vegetables and fruits in the west room.
The vines were so intertwined with each other that she sometimes couldn't tell which was which.
She had forgotten that there was such a fruit as watermelon.
She thought the two watermelon trees she planted were dead!
"Let me see if it's cooked."
He knocked on the watermelon twice and looked at the grain on it. "Oh! This big watermelon is ripe! You are in for a treat today. There are so many of them! Pick them all."
The two melon seedlings actually produced eight large watermelons, and each watermelon was of very uniform size.
A watermelon weighs about twenty pounds.
After hearing what Bai Qiu said, he pulled over a backpack, picked the watermelon, and carefully put it into the backpack.
A backpack can only hold two watermelons.
"Miss, I've never seen this kind of melon before. Is it delicious?"
It’s not like the melon I ate a few days ago, which had a sweet fragrance.
This watermelon doesn't smell like anything.
"Of course it's delicious! Sitting by a warm earth dragon in the middle of winter while eating watermelon, that's the real enjoyment."
These watermelon seeds were given to her by Hu Qingye. He gave her a packet of seeds, which contained only two watermelon seeds.
The rest of the seeds, except for a few cantaloupe and muskmelon seeds and some fruit tree seeds, were planted by her in the space.
When she planted these melons outside, she didn't expect them to survive.
I just don’t know what this watermelon tastes like?
"Miss, I want to taste it now." Bai Qiu was drooling at the big watermelons.
He believed that nothing here was bad.
"Then let's eat."
The white fox Yaoyao simply picked up a watermelon and flicked its belly.
Snap!
The watermelon split open, revealing the bright red flesh.
Baihu Yaoyao broke the watermelon open, and the flesh inside was bright red. The flesh was not that kind of pink red, but real red, a blood red.
A few black melon seeds are embedded in the melon flesh.
The black and red are distinct.
The rind was very thin, even thinner than the rind of the watermelons she had eaten before.
"Miss, this watermelon looks delicious." Bai Qiu held the other half of the watermelon in his arms.
Baihu Yaoyao took out the dagger from her waist and cut the watermelon into small pieces.
He handed a piece to Bai Qiu and said, "Hurry up and eat it. How does it taste?"
Yaoyao, the white fox, also took a piece for herself and couldn't wait to take a bite.
One bite and you'll find the flesh is sweet and the juice is like honey.
So delicious! So sweet!
It turns out to be the watermelon from the demon tribe, it’s so delicious?
"Mmm! Delicious! Miss, this watermelon is so delicious."
He was sure that it was a fruit he had never eaten before.
Bai Qiu almost ate the watermelon rind.
If Baihu Yaoyao hadn't stopped him, he would have really eaten the watermelon rind as well.
"Hurry up and take these watermelons out and let them have a taste."
Yaoyao, the white fox, ate until her belly was full.
They can't just eat all the food here and leave those who are working with nothing to eat.
"Okay." Bai Qiu ate incoherently.
He went to the front hall carrying a basket of watermelons and still chewing a piece of watermelon.
The white fox Yaoyao collected the watermelon seeds she spit out and waited to plant them in the space.
After cleaning up, he went to the front hall.
Bai Qiu had already cut the watermelon and each of them was eating a piece.
"It's delicious! I've never seen this fruit before."
"That's right! Yaoyao has so many good things here."
"That's right. We follow the young lady and have no shortage of good things."
The group of people were happy with the food and started to flatter the master.
Every sentence is full of praise for the white fox.
"Yaoyao, come here quickly. This watermelon is so delicious. You should eat it quickly." Aunt Wang saw the white fox Yaoyao coming and picked up the watermelon and gave it to her.
Yaoyao, the white fox, was already full and quickly waved her hands, "I don't want to eat anymore! I was picking vegetables in the west room just now, and I couldn't resist eating a piece of watermelon. I'm still full now, you guys hurry up and eat."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll make you some digestive water." Aunt Wang said as she was about to go to the kitchen.
Baihu Yaoyao quickly pulled her back, "No need! No need! You're just too full from eating watermelon. Just take a few sips of water and you'll be fine, hehe."
I'm so full from eating watermelon, it's embarrassing to tell others about it.
"Are you really okay, kid?" Aunt Wang asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's okay! You guys eat quickly, I'll sit for a while." The white fox Yaoyao found a place to sit down and watched them eat watermelon.
Her belly was already big, and now it was even bigger.
Seeing that she was fine, Aunt Wang joined the group eating watermelon again.
After a while, everyone was full.
They all smiled at each other.
The restaurant was filled with laughter and joy.
The watermelons were very big, and more than a dozen people were full after eating only two.
The rest will be eaten when the other people arrive.
After a short rest, the ingredients in the kitchen were prepared.
Just wait for those people to come and eat hot pot together.
It was just around noon when the old man and his friends finally arrived.
"Sorry, sorry! I was a little busy and came late." The deputy manager of Liulichang is Uncle Dai, a good friend of Uncle Zhou.
Uncle Zhou went to Fanlou. Now Liulichang is supported by him and he is responsible for all external affairs.
Behind him followed more than twenty guys from Liulichang.
As soon as these people came in, the whole restaurant was almost packed.
"Uncle Dai, you came at the right time. We have been waiting for you. Please sit down quickly. The food will be here soon." Baihu Yaoyao greeted them quickly.
Everyone in Liulichang was flattered. How could the boss be so enthusiastic?
I was a little nervous when I came. I thought the boss was joking when he said he would treat them to a meal.
They couldn't even imagine that the boss would treat them to a meal.
Since ancient times, there has been no example of a boss treating his servants to a meal.
Now when I see the boss greeting them with a smile, I feel warm in my heart.
Make up your mind and work hard after the New Year!
We must make Liulichang bigger and stronger!
"Yaoyao girl, do you have any work to do here? Just tell us." Uncle Dai smiled brightly.
"Yes! Boss, just give us instructions. We have plenty of energy."
"Yes, yes! We have the strength to work."
A group of people were talking at once, clamoring to help with the work.
Baihu Yaoyao quickly stopped them, "We've done what we need to do! You just wait to eat! The people in Qibaozhai and Liulichang are the most tired. Today is Chinese New Year, so you should rest well and we'll take care of the rest. Your job is to eat!"
"Okay! We'll listen to the boss."
"Thank you, boss, for thinking of us! We will definitely work hard."
Then everyone sat down.
Baisha and the others brought over some sliced watermelon and let them eat some fruit first.
All those working in Qibaozhai, whether they were the shopkeepers or the guards, were driven by Baihu Yaoyao to help in the kitchen.
Only the ghost old man was lying on the railing on the second floor with a wine jug in his hand, looking at the bustling crowd downstairs with drunken eyes.
"My disciple is good at winning people's hearts. He is indeed a little fox."
,belch!
The ghost old man burped and continued drinking.
He picked his toes by the way, and then put his toes under his nose and smelled them.
He looked like he was enjoying it after smelling it.
Shen Qingshan was carrying two jars of wine out of the room next to Baihu Yaoyao when he heard his master say this.
When he saw the master tapping his toes, his face turned black.
The corners of Shen Qingshan's mouth twitched. "Master, do you dare to say this in front of Junior Sister?"
See, Junior Sister is giving you wine?
The little junior sister hates it most when people call her a little fox.
It’s true that the junior sister can win people’s hearts and is a little fox. They just need to know it in their hearts and not say it out loud!
How disrespectful to the elderly!
The ghostly old man rolled his eyes at him and said, "How dare you tease your master?"
Shen Qingshan is not afraid of him!
Their master has such a bad character that no one can stop him from saying anything.
Now that I have a junior sister, the master only listens to her.
"Also, could you please stop picking your toes? If Junior Sister sees that, will you still be a good master?"
After Shen Qingshan finished speaking, he ran downstairs holding the jar of wine.
If you don't run away, the old man will really get angry.
The old man looked confused and angry, his beard flying all over the place. He took off his smelly shoes with exposed toes and threw them away.
"You unfilial disciple!"
What's wrong with him picking his toes?
Is this just a personal hobby?
The restaurant was noisy and bustling.
The hot pot is finally ready.
There are twenty tables in the restaurant hall, and a big hot pot is placed on each table.
Fortunately, the table was big enough and the ingredients filled the entire table.
Lamb rolls, pork rolls, chicken rolls, and a variety of meatball side dishes.
Everyone found their seats and sat down, there were exactly six people at each table.
Baihu Yaoyao's table has the most people sitting at it.
It's made up of four tables.
Ghost Old Man, Aunt Wang, Wang Dazhu, Zi Mei, Shen Qingshan, Wang Dali, Aunt Zhou, Zhou Heng, Uncle Dai, and Shopkeeper Chen.
There are also six guards from Qibaozhai, including Baichun and the other four.
There was a big table for twenty people.
When Baihu Yaoyao saw that everyone was gathered, she picked up the juice.
She couldn't drink alcohol because she was pregnant, so she had to drink fruit juice instead.
"Everyone, although we've only known each other for a short time, you should all be familiar with my temper. As long as you follow me and work hard without second thoughts, I'm easy to talk to! From now on, as long as you do your best, I won't treat you unfairly!"
"But! If anyone has second thoughts and wants to betray me, I, Baihu Yaoyao, will definitely not show mercy!"
"Not much to say! Today is New Year's Eve, and we're all family. It's a good time to get together and get to know each other and have some fun! From now on, we're a family. I can't drink alcohol, so I'll just have juice instead. Let's have a drink!"
"I'll do it first!"
The white fox drank it all in one gulp with great generosity.
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses. "We will never have second thoughts about you, boss. Don't worry, boss! We swear now that anyone who dares to betray you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
“We did it!”
Everyone drank it all in one gulp.
Working for the boss, you get food and drinks and high wages. Such a job is hard to come by.
Even their families will not have to worry about food and clothing.
If they hadn't met such a good boss, how could they have the good life they have now?
"Okay! Without further ado, today you all need to eat and drink well! Everyone, sit down and eat!"
The white fox Yaoyao also sat down.
The others couldn't wait to start eating.
This was the first time for us to eat hotpot. We ate so much that our mouths were oozing with oil that we didn’t even care about drinking.
It was also the first time for the old man to eat hot pot, and he ate it without any image.
The most important thing is to pick your toes.
"Girl, your hot pot is delicious, you can open a restaurant." The old ghost suggested.
There is no such good food in the Mantuo Empire.
He used to think he had eaten all the delicacies in the world.
I thought the food I ate was the best, but since I met his little apprentice, I realized that there are so many delicious foods in the world.
It was worth it that he put so much effort into getting this little apprentice.
If Baihu Yaoyao knew that her master accepted her as his apprentice just for food, she would definitely do something to betray her master and ancestors.
Ghost Old Man: ...
Don’t even think about it, you can’t afford to offend my little disciple!
Today's update is complete.
