Chapter 100 Buying Watermelon

Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin traveled from Guo County to Xiangcheng in a carriage, but since they were going to go home, there was no need to rush the time, so they didn't take a boat when they went to Tongcheng, and Liu Xiaodong was not used to it either. Taking a boat, I felt top-heavy every day at sea, and Xiang Qin listened to Liu Xiaodong, so Liu Xiaodong decided to continue driving in a carriage.

It takes more than ten days to travel by boat, and it took Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin more than 20 days to travel by land. However, Liu Xiaodong has already finished the most important things, so there is no need to rush so much, so the mood along the way here is also Relaxed a lot.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Liu Xiaodong doesn't have to do anything while sitting in the car, and he often sweats a lot, so when the weather is hot, Liu Xiaodong feels lazy and doesn't want to move.

When their carriage passed a small village, they saw villagers selling watermelons on the side of the road. Liu Xiaodong asked Zhao Xiaoliang to stop the car first.

Zhao Xiaoliang pulled the reins of the carriage, "Sister Xiaodong, what's the matter?" Although Liu Xiaodong was younger than Zhao Xiaoliang, Zhao Xiaoliang saw that she was wearing a woman's bun and knew that she was married, so he asked I called my sister.

Xiang Qin also looked at Liu Xiaodong inside the carriage.

Liu Xiaodong leaned out from the car, "I saw a watermelon seller on the side of the road, let's buy a watermelon to cool off the heat." Liu Xiaodong covered himself from the sun with his hands, and felt unbearable when he came out So he quickly retreated into the carriage again, "Let's take a rest by the way, you must be tired from driving."

"Okay." Zhao Xiaoliang agreed happily. In fact, he was already a little tired, and the weather was too hot, but Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin didn't say anything, so he was naturally embarrassed to say that he wanted to rest. At this time, Liu Xiaodong Zhao Xiaoliang was the first to agree when he said he wanted to rest his feet.

Xiang Qin had no objection either, Zhao Xiaoliang found a shady place and drove the carriage over, Liu Xiaodong jumped off the carriage, Xiang Qin supported Liu Xiaodong on the side, "Be careful."

"Thank you, it's okay," Liu Xiaodong thanked Xiang Qin, then looked at Zhao Xiaoliang who was tied to the carriage next to him, "Xiao Liang, hurry up, let's go buy watermelons together."

"Hey, it's coming soon." Zhao Xiaoliang tied the reins on the tree, trotted to Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin, "Let's go."

The three of them went to a place selling watermelons on the side of the road, "How do you sell this watermelon?"

When the villagers saw someone coming to buy watermelons, their faces were full of smiles, "Two cents a catty. Would you like one?"

Standing in front of the watermelon stall, Liu Xiaodong looked at the watermelons in front of him. He felt that two pennies a catty was not expensive, so he decided to buy a few more to eat on the way, "Is it sweet?"

The villager who sells melons patted himself on the chest, "Don't worry, this is all grown by myself in my family's field. It must be sweet. If it's not sweet, you can come back to me."

Liu Xiaodong only looked at the surface of the watermelon and thought they were all good, and he didn't know how to pick them. He felt a bit at a loss as to what to do. Seeing this, Xiang Qin patted on the watermelon, picked one with a crisp sound, and held it up for Liu Xiaodong to see. "This one."

Liu Xiaodong didn't know how to choose, but seeing Xiang Qin's confident appearance, he thought he should choose well, "Okay, let's go with it."

The melon farmer took the watermelon from Xiang Qin, weighed it on the scale, and asked Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin to look at the number on the scale, "Ten catties and one tael, count as ten catties."

Liu Xiaodong was not very good at reading scales, Xiang Qin saw that there was nothing wrong with it, and nodded at Liu Xiaodong.

"Let's buy a few more and save them for food on the way. After passing this village, I don't know how long it will take to get to the next place where we can stay." Liu Xiaodong said.

Both Xiang Qin and Zhao Xiaoliang had no objections.

Xiang Qin picked four more watermelons and asked the melon farmers to weigh them together. The total was 45 catties and seven taels. It's eighty Wen."

Just as Liu Xiaodong wanted to take money from his purse, Xiang Qin had already taken out the money and handed it to Gua Nong.

The melon farmer smiled and accepted the money handed over by Xiang Qin. The watermelon costs two cents a catty. Liu Xiaodong thinks that the price is not expensive. In fact, two cents can buy a catty of rice, so people who usually come to buy watermelons are not A lot, five watermelons were sold at once today, and it is not always possible to sell so many watermelons in a day.

Zhao Xiaoliang moved the watermelons to the carriage one by one, and cut the last one with a knife without moving it to the carriage. After cutting, he took a piece for Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin each.

Liu Xiaodong took a bite, "It's so sweet, Xiao Liang, you can eat it too."

"En." Zhao Xiaoliang also picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it, biting down, the sweet watermelon juice filled his mouth, and he felt satisfied immediately.

"Brother Qin, the watermelon you picked is really sweet." Zhao Xiaoliang finished eating one watermelon in two or three mouthfuls, and took another one to eat.

Xiang Qin also ate very quickly. After a while, Xiang Qin and Zhao Xiaoliang ate more than half of the watermelon. The watermelon was juicy, and Liu Xiaodong couldn't eat it after three pieces.

Zhao Xiaoliang ate a little more than a third of it, and he couldn't take it anymore, so he let Xiang Qin eat the rest. The weather was hot, and if he couldn't finish it, the opened watermelon would have to spoil at night up.

After eating the watermelon, the three of them even saved their lunch. Their stomachs were filled with watermelon, and they rested in the shade for another quarter of an hour. Feeling that the heat from the sun had dissipated from their bodies, they boarded the carriage. Then on the road.

When it was hot, Liu Xiaodong always felt drowsy, and fell asleep not long after being shaken by the carriage.

In the evening, they came to a forest, and Liu Xiaodong was woken up by the sound in the forest - many birds fell on the trees and made a lot of noise.

When Liu Xiaodong came out of the carriage, Xiang Qin and Zhao Xiaoliang had already lit up the fire and were cooking in a big pot. Xiang Qin was still roasting two birds on a stick.

Liu Xiaodong walked up to Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong, "It smells so good. What are you doing?"

Hearing Liu Xiaodong's voice, Zhao Xiaoliang glanced in her direction, "Sister Xiaodong, you're awake, I'm making soup, brother Qin has shot a lot of birds, we'll have a good time again tonight."

Liu Xiaodong glanced at Xiang Qin, and sure enough there were many plucked birds at his feet, "There are so many?"

Xiang Qin turned over the roasting bird, "This will be ready soon, let you taste it in a while."

"Thank you." Let Zhao Xiaoliang say it, combined with the smell of meat, Liu Xiaodong felt so hungry that he was really hungry.
