Then, He Youyou couldn't stand it anymore.
Zhao Changqing's method of killing the melon looked extremely unethical.
"Have you never eaten a melon before, or have you never done the work of killing a melon?"
Zhao Changqing choked up.
Watermelons are not common to begin with.
Only the imperial court and wealthy families had the opportunity to eat it, and he had never actually done that job.
"I'll do it."
He Youyou snatched the knife from his hand.
He deftly cut the watermelon into more than a dozen slices.
First, give each of the two children a petal.

She looked at Zhao Changqing with a puzzled expression: Are the watermelons here not sweet?

"Wenqi, this watermelon from your aunt is from the Western Regions, not a local watermelon. It's sweet from head to toe. You should try it if you don't believe me."

"Really. After you finish eating, I'll have your uncle write you another certificate of merit."
"All right."
Zhao Wenqi then finished the whole watermelon in one go: "Auntie, it's true! This is really sweet! I've never eaten such a sweet watermelon before."
He Youyou thought to herself: Because in our great Celestial Empire, there is an academician named Grandma Wu. She is very capable and has researched many delicious melons.
