cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 43 The First Watermelon

The treasured sword is not old, this is what Zhang Wei thinks, but this knife is indeed extremely sharp, Zhang Wei holds the knife in one hand, presses the back of the knife with the other, the blade cuts into the bamboo at once, then holds the split part with one hand, Pull the knife down with one hand, and the bamboo will split open along the blade.As long as you hold the knife in your hand and don't shake it when you chop, the bamboo will be split in half evenly.Even if the knife is fast, Zhang Wei spent nearly an hour to finish chopping the bamboo that needed to be split.

When splitting, the longer bamboos had to be cut. In the end, most of them were divided into half-bamboos of two to three meters long. There were about a hundred of them. It doesn't matter whether you can finish the chopping in a day, as Zhang Ye said a few days ago, doing this farm work depends on your strength. Don't look at the kid Zhang Shengli who has many ideas and is still young, but he is very handsome. I haven't put in much effort from the bottom, and it's really not enough to do the job of digging holes on the flat ground.

No matter what happened to Zhang Shengli, anyway, Zhang Wei, who had practiced for a month in the countryside, had no problem chopping firewood and diving into everything.People are actually not tired, but after doing so much work, Zhang Wei still feels tired. He wiped the little sweat from his forehead, and threw the precious knife on the car, saying that it was a precious knife, Zhang Wei didn't feel that way at all. The proper attitude towards a treasured knife is to throw it away after use, without cherishing it at all. In his hand, this precious knife is a tool for splitting bamboo.

Following the scent of melons in the yard, Zhang Wei planned to find two melons to quench his thirst.Push aside the melon seedlings that are almost knee-deep, pick two large crystal-white melons along the scent, wipe the dirt on the ground with your hands, and don’t peel the skin, just gnaw it with a big mouthful go down.The skin of Zhang Wei's melon is also thin and crispy. You can't feel the skin at all when you chew it. Even the skin tastes so sweet and delicious.

Looking up at the sky, the sun is almost at noon, and the time should be almost eleven o'clock, and this guy Sun Xiaolei is coming soon, as long as there is nothing to delay, this kid will arrive at this hour.

After eating two big melons in a while, I felt my stomach was a little bit full.After rubbing the sticky hands, you must wash your hands after eating melon. This melon has a lot of sugar. When the melon juice is spilled on your hands, it will make people feel sticky. If you don't wash your hands, you can't even rub your hands. It's like putting a layer of wax on it.

By the way, he picked two big cucumbers for the three little bamboo rats in the front yard. Not to mention, these three little bamboo rats were especially edible, and they finished eating two big cucumbers in one morning.The three little things that Zhang Wei gave them this time didn't make any special exclamations, but they still didn't dare to eat cucumbers with Zhang Wei beside them.

It is really not an easy job to build a watermelon stand. The place where it can be built is the place where there is no watermelon in the middle of the road. The middle is originally two or three meters wide. Even the surrounding fruit trees are covered with watermelon seedlings, and the watermelon seedlings on the fruit trees have begun to climb up. Fortunately, there are cucumbers near the grape trellis. Otherwise, if the watermelon seedlings climb up the grape trellis If so, it would be really troublesome.It is no problem to climb some grape trellises on the old roof. If there are two large watermelons weighing [-] to [-] catties, it is estimated that the roof will be crushed into a big hole.

Along the middle of the road that was more than one meter wide, Zhang Wei dug pits along the road, one half a meter away, and three to forty centimeters deep. OK.Not to mention, turning over the melon seedlings and digging holes here, really, even if Zhang Wei has strength, the work would not be fast. Zhang Wei's melon seedlings have a lot of super raw watermelons, and a small watermelon can be lifted by accident.This melon is all money, anyway, Zhang Wei's watermelon seedlings are growing vigorously, so there is no need to worry about the watermelon growing too much.You don’t have to be like the superborn guerrillas. If you have too many children, you can’t raise them and you have to give them to others. The base fertilizer of Zhang Wei’s watermelon seedlings is enough, and the resting soil supports it. Can it be insufficient?

Just like this, Zhang Wei carefully turned over the watermelon seedlings, and at the same time dug the hole where the pillars were buried at most. He dug three or four holes until it was noon in the sun.Half a meter away, there are more than a dozen or so holes dug on this side.

Putting down the shovel, he touched the fine sweat on his forehead. It's summer, and the sun above his head is still quite vicious.Seeing that this morning is almost over, and Sun Xiaolei's vegetable cart has not arrived yet, Zhang Wei can't help but feel a little worried. The mountain road is under repair, and the road condition is a bit bad. Nothing will happen to this kid Bar.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei took out his mobile phone from his pocket and was about to call Sun Xiaolei. The sound of Zhang Wei's pickup truck engine sounded outside the door. Zhang Wei closed his mobile phone and walked to the front yard. People really don't talk about it, just talk about it like this, and Sun Xiaolei is here.

When Zhang Wei walked to the front door, he saw Sun Xiaolei’s trunk full of people jumping down. Needless to say, everyone came back from work at noon, and Sun Xiaolei just came into the village to pick up vegetables. Let's take a ride.

It was a hot day, and everyone had just come back. Zhang Wei thought about soaking a big watermelon in his well. Anyway, Mr. Zhang and the others couldn’t finish a big watermelon weighing more than 40 catties. There is no refrigerator here. It's not delicious, and everyone is neighbors, so let's try something new, and quench your thirst by the way, a watermelon is nothing to Zhang Wei.

"Let's have a rest in the yard. I just picked a big watermelon this morning and it is freezing in the well. Everyone is tired all morning and thirsty. It's time to eat a piece of watermelon to quench our thirst." Seeing everyone getting out of the car, Zhang Wei greeted everyone to enter the yard to eat watermelon.

Sun Xiaolei also greeted him from the side: "Well, don't leave, uncle and aunt. Zhang Wei is a landlord. Anyway, the watermelon he grows is too big to be eaten by one person. Let's help him eat it so as not to spoil it." Let's go, let's go, I've been driving all morning and I'm thirsty, Zhang Wei, hurry up and take out the watermelon and cut it up."

Sun Xiaolei, who had long since given birth to a watermelon in Zhang Wei's backyard, heard that Zhang Wei had finally picked a big watermelon. He didn't know what politeness meant, but he closed the car door and was the first to greet everyone. Running to Zhang Wei's yard, the girl Ke Ke saw that Sun Xiaolei wanted to eat watermelon again, and she was so angry that she pouted.However, Master Zhang whispered a word in her ear, and the girl immediately pushed aside the dark clouds and saw the sun and the moon and laughed.

People in the village often visit Zhang Wei's yard, and they know that Zhang Wei's watermelon is very big, but when Zhang Wei took the watermelon out of the well, everyone knew that it weighed 42 catties, and they were still shocked. Everyone took a deep breath.

"My darling, I only know that this melon is big, but I didn't expect this melon to be so big."

Sun Xiaolei stared around the melon for a long time, trying to figure out how the melon grew so heavy. At first he thought it would be good to weigh thirty catties, but his eyesight was not good enough. Who knew it was so heavy. At that time, Master Zhang said He still didn't believe it when he weighed forty catties.

When Mr. Zhang took out the Wang Mazi kitchen knife and was about to cut the melon, the tip of the knife just broke the skin of the melon, and a line exploded on the skin of the melon with a "click", and a scent of fragrance floated out along the cracked line of the watermelon. .

Xiao Keke, who had been following Grandpa Zhang all this time, slobbered and sniffed at the crack of the watermelon following the scent: "Well, Grandpa, this watermelon is really fragrant."

Melons are fragrant, when did this watermelon have fragrance?
