Chapter 507 Delicious Watermelon
Jiang Hongyu didn't return home until seven or eight days later. The first thing he did when he got home was to ask for water to take a shower. Ye Mingzhu wanted to talk to him, but he refused.
After Jiang Hongyu came out of the shower and dried his hair, he asked Ye Mingzhu, "What did you want to tell me just now?"
Seeing that his hair was still dripping with water, Ye Mingzhu took a handkerchief and helped wipe it. When it was half dry, she said, "I was just about to ask if you were hungry. Since you didn't say anything, I asked someone to cook you some noodles. Now is the perfect time to eat."
Jiang Hongyu hugged Ye Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, you are so kind."
Ye Mingzhu was a little amused and said, "I'll ask someone to cook you a bowl of noodles, okay?"
"Thank God for letting me marry you. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I could continue living like this." Jiang Hongyu put his head in the crook of Ye Mingzhu's neck.
Since marrying Ye Mingzhu, Jiang Hongyu's life has been getting better and better, and Ye Mingzhu's influence can be seen in his several promotions.
This time, because Ye Mingzhu found them in time, they were able to find those foreigners disguised as pirates.
These are still confidential and cannot be told to Ye Mingzhu, but Jiang Hongyu remembers them very clearly.
Jiang Hongyu's words made Ye Mingzhu feel a little embarrassed. She pushed Jiang Hongyu and said, "Why are you talking about this? Go eat first."
During the meal, Ye Mingzhu told him about Uncle Yan's letter, and said that she had prepared the yard and Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing could live there directly when they came back.
Jiang Hongyu nodded: "I am very confident in your work."
Ye Mingzhu couldn't help but smile, "What's wrong with you today? You're talking so sweetly, as if you've eaten honey."
"I'm telling the truth," Jiang Hongyu put down his chopsticks and said seriously.
"Okay, I get it. Eat your meal quickly and have a good rest after eating. You look much more haggard than before." Ye Mingzhu picked up a piece of food for Jiang Hongyu with chopsticks and urged him to eat quickly.
Jiang Hongyu ate three bowls of noodles and drank a large bowl of soup before he breathed a sigh of relief: "Comfortable."
Ye Mingzhu urged him to rest quickly. Jiang Hongyu said he was not tired, but he fell asleep in just a few breaths after lying on the bed.
After this incident, Jiang Hongyu would come back every other day. If he couldn't come back, he would send someone to deliver a letter to Ye Mingzhu.
The business of Sweetheart Shop gradually stabilized. Ruan Linlin found a few guys and went to the dock to sell the snacks every day, so that more people would know about Sweetheart Shop. Word of mouth spread, and people in the county town were also willing to come to Sweetheart Shop to buy snacks.
When the watermelons planted by Ye Mingzhu on the farm were ripe, she asked Jiang Hongyu to take a few to the military camp to eat. The next day, Lu Tongzhi asked his servants to come and buy some. Soon, all the wealthy families in Linchang knew that Captain Jiang's wife had grown watermelons, and they all came to place orders.
If Ye Mingzhu hadn't left thirty or so watermelons, I'm afraid all the watermelons would have been sold out.
Some families who failed to buy watermelons made reservations for next year's watermelons with Ye Mingzhu in advance. Before the watermelons were planted the next day, Ye Mingzhu had already received a deposit of 500 taels of silver.
Some people also asked Ye Mingzhu indirectly if she could give them one or two of the reserved watermelons. In order not to offend anyone, Ye Mingzhu had to distribute the remaining watermelons overnight.
Ten watermelons were sent to Beijing for Prince Jing, and ten watermelons were sent to the provincial capital for Wang Dahu. Ye Mingzhu wrote a letter to Jiang Yue, asking her to give two to Jian Pingping, five to Yu Jiaming, and keep the rest for Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing.
But the journey was long after all. Although Ye Mingzhu sent the watermelons out, to be honest, she didn't know how many of them would be good when they arrived at the destination.
Because there were not many watermelons left, Ye Yun'an and Luodou were reluctant to eat them, and went to the door every day to see if Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing had returned.
Ye Mingzhu found it a little funny and wanted to cut one for them, but they both shook their heads and said they didn't want to eat it and would eat it after Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing came back. This made Ye Mingzhu wonder if she had left too little watermelon.
Ye Wu also joined in the fun. The first thing he did when he came home every day was to ask if Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing had returned.
As everyone expected, Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing returned.
Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou immediately rushed over. Lu Dou went to help Aunt Qing, while Ye Yun'an pulled Uncle Yan inside, shouting, "Sister, Uncle Yan and Aunt are back."
Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing were both a little flattered. Uncle Yan asked, "Didn't you two practice well?"
"No." They both shook their heads.
"We just miss Uncle Yan." Green Bean said quickly.
"Yes, I can't enjoy my meals when my aunt is not at home." Ye Yun'an was no exception.
Uncle Yan looked at Ye Yun'an, who was half a head taller than when he left, and then looked at Green Bean, who had obviously gained weight. He felt that these two children probably only missed them in words.
"Uncle Yan, my sister has grown some watermelons. We've left some for you. I'll let Yunniang cut the watermelons now."
After several people entered the house, Ludou said only this sentence and quickly ran out the door.
"Aunt, the watermelons grown by my sister are delicious. You two will definitely like them." Ye Yun'an said to Aunt Qing a little embarrassedly.
Ye Mingzhu and Green Bean, who was holding a big watermelon, appeared at the door at the same time.
"Mom, you're back." Ye Mingzhu had just said this when Luodou called her over to cut watermelon.
Ye Mingzhu:……
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she took a knife to cut the watermelon in half, giving a piece to Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing. "Uncle Yan, Mom, try this! This is fruit grown on the farm we just bought. It's juicy and sweet. By the way, you can't eat the seeds in it, you need to spit them out."
Green Bean couldn't wait to take a piece and said to Uncle Yan, "Uncle Yan, eat it quickly, it's very sweet."
Ye Yun'an also took a piece and urged Aunt Qing to eat it.
Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing had only taken two bites when Ye Yun'an and Luodou had already finished one piece and started on the second.
The two of them felt at the same time that Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou welcomed them so much just to eat watermelon.
Ye Mingzhu couldn't bear it any longer and reminded them to eat slowly. Only then did they slow down a little. Seeing that Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing were looking at Ye Yun'an and Luodou, Ye Mingzhu urged them to eat faster, otherwise Ye Yun'an and Luodou would finish the whole watermelon in a while.
I don’t know if it’s because of the variety, but the watermelons I grew this time are not very big. Fortunately, they taste good.
Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing ate two pieces each and stopped eating. Ye Yun'an and Luodou looked at each other and didn't take any more watermelons.
Ye Mingzhu asked Yunniang to freeze the remaining half of the watermelon in the well and wait for Jiang Hongyu and others to come back and eat it in the evening.
"Mom, Uncle Yan, you two must be tired after the journey back. I asked someone to boil some hot water for you. Go wash up first. We will have a reunion dinner together in the evening." Ye Mingzhu could see that both of them were a little tired, so she took them to the courtyard.
Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing were both very satisfied. Ye Mingzhu wanted to stay and serve Aunt Qing, but she refused and asked her to go and do her own thing first.
