slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 119
Cang Hai picked up a piece of melon, put it to his mouth and took a bite, then slowly tasted it.

The taste of the melon is very good, a bit like sandy soil, and it has a slight grainy feeling after entering the mouth, but this small grainy feeling is not annoying, but it has a different taste. Bite your teeth lightly, and it seems that these small particles are bursting in your mouth with a unique sweet fragrance. Juice is about to overflow from the corner of the mouth.

The melon scent is very unique, slightly different from the pure sweetness of ordinary watermelon. It seems that there is a little mint flavor in this sweetness, which makes the whole mouth have a fascinating coolness, but careful tasting It doesn't look like mint, and it seems to have a grassy fragrance. Anyway, this fragrance is quite obsessed.

After taking two or three bites in a row, Cang Hai closed his eyes and savored the unique melon fragrance while chewing, involuntarily wanting to keep this taste in his mouth for a while longer.

When I swallow the melon juice into my throat, I immediately feel a comfortable coolness flowing slowly into the stomach along with the esophagus. After the heat seems to enter the stomach, I feel comfortable all over the body, which makes people have endless aftertastes.

In two or three strokes, Cang Hai ate up a piece of melon in his hand, not only ate up the red melon soil, but also gnawed some white melon rind.

When Cang Hai put down the melon in his hand and was about to take another piece of melon from the table, he found that there was no more melon on the table, only another large piece of melon that hadn't been sawed open was left.

When Cang Hai looked up, he found that many people were holding two slices of melons in their hands, and they were facing the melons in their hands. The most conspicuous thing was the iron head. This guy had one in each hand and put another in front of him. When he noticed Cang Hai When he caught his eyes, he immediately stuck out his tongue and licked hard on the piece of melon in front of him.

"I will kill you!"

Cang Hai laughed and scolded Tietou, then picked up the bone saw and began to divide another piece of melon.

Every time a piece was cut, a hand stretched out. Fortunately, the melon was big enough. When Cang Hai finally cut the last four little girls, the people around had already eaten their stomachs.

Hu Shijie nodded and couldn't stop praising: "This melon is good, this melon is so beautiful."

"Well, this melon is indeed more delicious than ordinary melons, but it's a pity that the skin is too thick." A kiln master wiped the melon juice from the corners of his mouth and looked at the thick melons on the table. Skin.

At this moment, Li Liren put down the last piece of melon in his hand: "What's the matter with the thick melon skin? Not only can people eat it, but it can also be fed to pigs and chickens. If you don’t sell it, you can keep it for yourself, and if you plant it now, you can eat it when your grandson is on vacation.”

Cang Hai smiled when he heard the words, and before he opened his mouth, he heard Wei Wenkui next to him say: "Hai Wazi, long melon tastes like this. Let's cut a round melon and have a look. I don't know the difference between this round melon and long melon. No difference".

Cang Hai originally thought that everyone was full, but after hearing this, he knew that Wei Wenkui wanted more.No wonder, after all, this thing belongs to Cang Hai's family, and everyone took Cang Hai's melons. It was okay at the beginning, but later on, those who were slow to eat were embarrassed to reach out, because if they reached out to Cang Hai again The owner has nothing to eat.

Hearing that Cang Hai was going to get melons from the cart, Ping An immediately took Xiao Pao over and brought the round melons to the kitchen.

He picked up the bone saw and sawed through the middle of the round melon. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Cang Hai felt that the round melon was much easier to saw than the long melon. It didn't take more than 30 seconds to saw the melon open, and the two petals of the melon were gently broken. The scene in the melon immediately surprised everyone.

There is no melon soil in the round melon. It may be inaccurate to say that. The melon soil in the round melon seems to have not grown well. It is like the melon soil of winter melon, but it is not as thick as winter melon. The skin, the skin of the round melon is very thin, less than one centimeter, and even the skin of this centimeter is still green all over.

Contrary to the long melon, the round melon is full of black watermelon seeds, which look like a pomegranate. The seeds in the melon rind are full of seeds, filling the space in the melon.

"It's all watermelon seeds!"

The crowd exclaimed.

Hu Shijie took a look, stretched out his hand and pinched a black melon seed, put it in his mouth and bit it lightly, he bit open the melon shell and ate the white melon seeds inside.

"Well, it's melon seeds. It tastes very good, with the texture of melons just now! It would be even more delicious if it was fried with five spices!"

Hearing Hu Shijie's words, everyone picked up the watermelon seeds and put them in their mouths, and started to knock them.

Cang Hai was naturally not far behind, pinched a black watermelon seed and put it in his mouth, bit it lightly with his teeth, waited for the shell to open slightly, peeled off the black seed shell with his hands, and put A beige watermelon seed was put into his mouth.

The taste of melon seeds is very good, a little like melon soil.

"It's just fried and eaten, and it saves the soil for peeling melons. Haiwazi, I didn't expect that the melons you planted are divided into male and female. The male melons only grow soil, and the female melons only grow seeds!" Qiu Shanghua said with a smile.

"This melon is good, this melon is good. Not only is it easy to eat melon, but it's also easy to fry melon seeds." A kiln master said while stretching out his hand to pinch the watermelon seeds. It is not known whether he ate the third or the first. Four are coming.

Cang Hai really didn’t expect it to be like this. He got the news from the tree of life that long melons are delicious, and the melons are saved for seeds. He didn’t expect that there is such a method of saving seeds, and there is no flesh in the round melons. , a stomach full of black melon seeds.

Everyone was talking about melons while eating melon seeds, while Cang Hai began to get distracted. Cang Hai originally thought that big melons and small melons were the same, but now who knows what happened, he wanted to change melons. It didn't do this when it was planted, but now that something like this has happened, you have to ask the tree of life anyway, wondering if it is responsible for it.

I was thinking about this in my mind, when I suddenly felt that someone was pulling my pants, looked down and saw that Tietou was holding a melon seed in a little black hand, shaking it towards me.

Seeing its movements, Cang Hai understands that this guy doesn’t have the ability to break open the melon seed shell, and wants to help himself. As an orangutan, Tietou doesn’t know what kind of madness he is now. He is very devoted to learning from others, not only eating When I used chopsticks, now I see people knocking melon seeds, it has to learn to eat only melon seeds and not melon seed shells like a human being.

"While playing, didn't you see that I was thinking about something?"

Cang Hai is not interested in picking up the melon seeds in Tietou's hands, who knows if he put them in his mouth just now, even if it didn't get Tietou's saliva, Cang Hai doesn't want to touch it.

When Tietou saw Cang Hai pushing him away, his expectant eyes immediately faded away, and the word depression was immediately written all over the monkey's face, and he squatted down on the ground without a sound, with his head lowered as if he was about to It looks like a circle is drawn on the corner of the wall.

When Shi Wei saw it, she picked up a melon seed and bit it open, peeled off the melon seed inside, put it in the palm of her hand, and gently touched Tietou's shoulder with the back of her hand.

Tietou turned his face and saw a melon seed kernel in Shi Wei's palm, and immediately smiled again, stood up and pinched the melon seed kernel in Shi Wei's hand, put it in his mouth, and moved two steps while chewing. Shi Wei's legs.

When Shi Wei was patient, she bit off another melon seed, put it in her hand and stretched it out in front of Tie Tou.

Tietou didn't take it this time, but pushed Shi Wei's hand back again, stretched out his little black hand, pointed at the melon seeds in Shi Wei's palm, and then put his hand into his mouth to gesture .

Shi Wei immediately understood the meaning of Tietou, squeezed the melon seeds again, put them in her mouth and ate them by herself.

Knocking down one while eating, this time when he put it in the palm of his hand again, Tietou pinched the melon seeds into his mouth, and looked at Shi Wei eagerly while eating, just like this, Shi Wei, Tietou and two people Just eat it.

"This orangutan is very interesting, and he knows how to take turns to eat."

A kiln master looked at the iron head and said with a smile.

Before he finished speaking, the kiln owner clapped his head and said, "Okay, everyone has eaten the melon and the melon seeds and got up to work."

Hearing the first words, several kiln masters stood up one after another, and went back to the kiln to continue their work.

Only the villagers were left in the kitchen, and everyone discussed more casually.

"Big, should we also plant an acre or two?" Yan Meijuan asked Hu Shijie while knocking on melon seeds.

Hu Shijie thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, the family has opened a lot of land this year, and the two of you are not here often, so you can't take care of it."

Hearing what Hu Shijie said, Yan Meijuan immediately closed her mouth, and at the same time subconsciously glanced at Ping An who was sitting next to her and eating melon seeds with a smile, her eyes rolled around at the same time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Li Liren said: "Brother Hu, if you don't plant it, I will plant it. Haiwazi, I will give some seeds later, and I will plant half an acre of melons on the slope."

Seeing Cang Hai nod his head, Wei Wenkui also said: "I also came to a small half acre, for no other reason than to eat two mouthfuls of melons in the kiln in summer.

Except for these two people, the rest of the people thought about it and shook their heads.

"Why, Boss, don't you plant half an acre at home?" Li Liren asked Li Licheng.

Li Licheng said: "I can't grow any land now, so I don't have time to play with watermelons. The lanterns I picked up last time haven't been finished yet. The demand over there is tight. I really want to leave. Your sister-in-law is alone." If a person has to take care of the land and take care of the housework, and grow half an acre of melons, that person will not be able to sleep.”

It can be said that Li Licheng now has small profitable projects in hand, and he is not so interested in eating melons and not eating melons. Of course, Guan Jian is short of manpower, but it is not his family that is short. For a family like Hai who doesn't take care of the crops very much, everyone is short of manpower.

Thirty years ago, these people were good at serving the land, but now that they are old and their energy is limited, they cannot throw the whole person into the field like before.
