There are shopping malls in famine years, and the evil mother-in-law leads the whole village to beco

"Oh! Well, auntie, mother... what is this thing? Why is the skin green on the outside and red on the inside? It's still so big!"

Suddenly there was a delicate voice, which startled Yue Jiuyue who was picking watermelons.

As expected, she is worthy of being a lady of every family, even if she is on the mountain, she walks quietly.

"This one is called Watermelon. It is said that it was brought from the West, so it is called this name."

As for whether it came from a western country or from a western city in this country, Yue Jiuyue didn't explain in detail.

"Oh, what is this for? Is it a vegetable?"

The delicate young lady continued to ask curiously, she had eaten sliced ​​cantaloupe and cooked winter melon before, and this was the first time she had seen such a whole melon!
"Watermelon is not a vegetable. I heard from the seed seller that it is a fruit in the west. You can put it in a well in summer and pull it out. You can also chill it and eat a piece on a hot day. It is definitely the best fruit to cool off!"

As she talked, Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but miss the little beauty of eating watermelon and chasing dramas.

Although it is tiring and hot to work part-time during the day, I can buy half a watermelon on the way home from work. There is no refrigerator or well, so I just soak it in cold water from the tap, then hold the watermelon with a spoon and dig it, and use the borrowed membership to watch dramas. Little days are bitter but sweet. "

"Really? Ma'am, can you give me some? We haven't eaten this kind of fruit yet, and we want to try it."

As Miss Jiao said, she gave a wink to the maid beside her, and the maid handed Yue Jiuyue a bulging purse, and said politely:

"Ma'am, I don't know if we can share more of our ladies. You know, we have a lot of people coming this time, and it's hard to divide if there are less watermelons."

Yue Jiuyue took the purse passively, and couldn't help moving her fingers.

Not copper.

It seems to be broken silver!

Such a purse of silver, how could it have to be a catty, right?
But, now that she knows that her watermelon is the only one, how can she be worthy of this "uniqueness" if she doesn't sell it for a sky-high price.

She reluctantly returned the money back the way it came, and explained in a bad way:
"Miss, is it true that I don't want to sell it to you, but you should have heard that all the sweet potatoes I found were sent to the capital, so I was rewarded by the emperor with 500 taels of silver.

I am grateful for the emperor's reward in my heart, so I searched everywhere for these seeds that we don't have here, just to grow some more food and fruits, so that I can present them to the emperor to express my gratitude to the emperor.

So, this watermelon, I just saw it cracked, and I had to pick it because I was afraid it would be broken.As for the other watermelons, I thought that when they were ripe, they would be handed over to the county magistrate Tang, so that the magistrate Tang could help present them to the emperor. "

Yue Jiuyue looked grateful to the emperor, so she tried her best to express her gratitude, which made this Miss Jiao really unable to do what was difficult for others.

After all, this aunt wanted to present the watermelon to the emperor. As the daughter of a ninth-rank sesame official, how could she dare to rob the emperor?

"Ah, aunt, I was the one who was abrupt, please forgive me, aunt!"

Miss Jiao's fair and tender face was flushed red, she wished she could find a crack in the ground and slip in.
