Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　In Luzhuang at night, apart from Lu Xiu and the others, there was no one else. The farmers who had been busy all day had already returned with the food they had worked so hard to get.

　　Most people will choose wheat grains, and a lot of potatoes are prepared, but half of them are not distributed.

　　The servants who were originally in Luzhuang have returned to their own homes because of the demolition of Luzhuang. In the more than ten acres of open space, now there are only a few people who are on duty at night.

　　As for the reason why Lu Xiu didn't go back to the hut to rest, it was because the night in the Tang Dynasty was too monotonous, there were basically no entertainment programs, and it was just sleeping when he went back.

　　There are no electric lights at night, and unless a curfew is set, many people will go to bed very early.

　　"Son, that tiger is so scary howling, can you not keep it, I'm a little scared." Li Ergou said bitingly.

　　"Don't be afraid, it should just be hungry." Lu Xiu threw a piece of wood on the ground in front of the tiger.

　　It was smashed in front of it by dozens of catties of wood, which frightened the tiger.Originally, the heart was controlled by Lu Xiu, and he was worried that he would be abused for a day, which made it a lot more nervous.

　　Dahua looked around and inquired, and finally found that a piece of wood under her feet had turned into fresh steak meat.

　　Dahua's eyes widened, and she looked at Lu Xiu for unknown reasons.It is really puzzled, how can it be a piece of wood, suddenly turned into meat.

　　Rubbing the tiger's eyes with his paws, he found that the meat had not changed, did he faint from hunger?

　　The big flower, who was hungry for a day, tried to take a big bite.It was found that it was really meat, the tender and juicy steak, which made Dahua immediately excited to hold the tender steak and nibble.

　　"Look, it really is hungry." Lu Xiu said.

　　"It's not a question of whether you are hungry, son, I understand your desire to use it to guard the hospital, but if the son is not there at night, no one can control it, maybe we don't know when it will eat it. "Li Ergou said with a bitter face.

　　"Yeah, why don't we put it back in the mountain temporarily and call it back tomorrow?" Cheng Chumo asked in a low voice.

　　Tonight, he was also the one on duty in Luzhuang. To be honest, there was a tiger staring at him secretly, saying that he was not afraid of lying.

　　"Tonight, I'll keep its heart for you. When you're bored, you can help me with training." Lu Xiu said with a smile.

　　"It turns out that, then I'm not afraid. I also want to try what it's like to ride a tiger." Cheng Chumo, who knew what it was like to have his heart mastered, suddenly laughed.

　　That night, the howls of tigers were heard all the time in Anping County, and the villagers who didn't know it even couldn't sleep because of fear, thinking that a tiger had come down the mountain.

　　Many people immediately ran to their backyards that night to see if the fence was closed and if the chickens and ducks at home were eaten.

　　…………

　　The next day, three poles in the sun, Lu Xiu returned to Luzhuang to find Dahua lying under the shade of a tree, as if she had been ravaged dozens of times, and she had no energy at all.

　　"Ergo, nothing happened last night, right?" Lu Xiu asked.

　　"Young master doesn't know. Last night was so fun. Such a ferocious tiger was actually obediently being disciplined by us." Li Ergou said excitedly.

　　"Hey, to be honest, I have a set of dog training, but my dog ​​is not obedient after I taught it, so I also trained Dahua according to the same set of dog training last night, and he is very good now." Cheng Chumo laughed.

　　"Yes, yes, it has been able to easily understand human speech, please give it a try, son." Li Ergou nodded vigorously.

　　"In that case, Dahua, come here for me." Lu Xiu shouted at the tiger who was lying on his stomach more than ten meters away.

　　"Ow." After hearing Lu Xiu's words, Da Hua swayed loosely, and then she understood Lu Xiu's words and moved in front of Lu Xiu.

　　"Get down."

　　After receiving Lu Xiu's instructions, Da Hua fell down like a puppy.

　　"Husband, you can see that it really understands." Yuyao said in surprise.

　　Lu Xiu touched its head and said with satisfaction, "It looks a lot better."

　　"Master Lu, although Dahua has been very well-behaved for the time being, it's hard to change the animal nature. If you want to completely tame it, you can't do it in a day or two, so you can't return your heart to it too early." Cheng Chumo reminded.

　　"Well, I will keep its heart forever." Of course Lu Xiu understood that there was a news report that there was an incident of tigers eating people in a circus somewhere.

　　Tigers in the circus have been trained many times, but their bestiality has not been eliminated.After all, beasts are born with hunting habits, and it is too difficult to completely change them.

　　"Hey, Master Lu is good to know. I'll go back to rest first. I'm too sleepy to stay up all night. If I'm free one day, I'll go hunting in the mountains and bring it, it should be very good." Cheng Chu said with a silent smile. .

Chapter 48

　　Leaving the tiger aside for the time being, after giving it a pig's feet that weighed more than [-] kilograms, he let it stay aside. Lu Xiu's mind was still on the construction of Luzhuang.

　　The marble slab has now been polished to [-] pieces, and Lu Xiu asked people to start laying it on the inside of the pool.In order to prevent the phenomenon of water leakage, the materials are all in accordance with the specifications of the palace.

　　The same is true for the thatched hut, where more than [-] square meters are covered with marble slabs, and squat toilets are used.

　　"The weather is getting hotter." Seeing thousands of people working in full swing, together with Lu Xiu who was watching, they also felt extremely sultry.

　　"Yeah, it's summer now, so naturally it will be very hot. You don't know, if last year, the old man might have gone to other places to escape the summer." Li Yuan said.

　　As the Supreme Emperor, after being deprived of the throne by Li Er, he naturally only wanted to have fun.

　　"Yeah. It's too hot. I'll have to drink something cold later."

　　Lu Xiu took it seriously. There were no air conditioners and fans in Datang, and the sweltering weather was really unbearable.

　　If the pool is built, you can take a dip in it and bring a cool breeze to the hot summer.Or bear frozen fruit, which would be quite good to cool off the heat.

　　"Hehe, no need, this old man invites you to eat today." Li Yuan laughed and said abnormally.

　　"You ask me?"

　　"Didn't you want to eat fruit the day before yesterday? The old man brought you some fruit that you promise not to eat."

　　"I don't believe there are fruits in the world that I haven't eaten."

　　"Really, Wu He, pull the old man up."

　　Li Yuan clapped his hands, and after a while, Wu He pulled a cart of more than a dozen green watermelons and stopped in front of Lu Xiu.

　　"See, this melon is called Han melon. It was brought by merchants from the Western Regions, and it is only grown in the imperial garden of the palace. The old man took advantage of the relationship and let someone pick some from it for you to taste." Li Yuan said contentedly.

　　"Yes. I thought what you were talking about was watermelon." Hearing this, Lu Xiu's face was full of disdain.

　　"Watermelon? Xiaoyou Lu, are you sure you are talking about the same type of watermelon as the old man? Wuhe, cut one and show it to Xiaoyou Lu."

　　Li Yuan naturally didn't believe it. It wasn't long before the cold melon came from the Western Regions and was planted in the Imperial Garden, and even they had only eaten it once or twice.

　　Wu He pulled out the Tang knife at his waist and cut the watermelon in half from the middle.

　　Half-white and half-red watermelon sacs are displayed in front of everyone, with dense watermelon seeds embellished in the middle.

　　"Come here, each person has a piece." Several catties of watermelon were cut into dozens of pieces, and Li Yuan generously distributed them into each person's hands.

　　Lu Xiu did not refuse. He was very curious about the taste of Datang's original watermelon.

　　In the hot summer, it is a beautiful thing to eat watermelon in the shade of a tree.

　　After taking a bite, Lu Xiu frowned immediately, and then spit it out: "Bah, it's not sweet at all, but a little sour, and there are too many seeds, right? You are also worthy of a watermelon?"

　　"Little friend Lu, don't you like it? The old man thought that although it wasn't very sweet, it would be very good to cool off the heat, especially after putting it in the ice cellar for a while before taking it out. It's cool and cool." Li Yuan said in surprise.

　　"It's normal for your husband to think it's not delicious, Yuyao thinks it's not as good as the fruit in the fruit sundae." Yuyao whispered.

　　Although there are only cantaloupe, yellow peach, strawberry and no watermelon in the fruit sundae, the taste is not comparable to the watermelon in front of you.

　　"Forget it, I don't blame you for your shallow knowledge. Let me show you what a real watermelon is."

　　Later generations of watermelon varieties, I don't know how many generations have been bred to achieve that kind of sweetness.

　　Although the ancient ones are all natural and pollution-free fruits and vegetables, but the taste is not good at all, so not all natural ones are good.

　　Anyway, Lu Xiu couldn't eat ancient fruits, and the sweetness couldn't be compared with later generations.

　　Lu Xiu asked someone to bring a few stones the size of a grinding disc, and then Lu Xiu tapped the stones twice using his ability to eat fruit.

　　Then, the stone turned into a large watermelon weighing dozens of pounds.

　　The watermelon brought by Li Yuan is a bit similar in color, except that it can be recognized as the same variety, the other feeling is completely different.

　　The watermelon that Li Yuan brought was at most six or seven catties, while Lu Xiu's watermelon was a unicorn watermelon, and the largest one even weighed thirty catties! !

　　"Okay... what a big melon." Li Yuan was surprised, he could barely hold it in his hands, was it really a cold melon?

　　Although similar, the front is a light green rind, not the dark green of a cold melon.

　　"Haha, it's one of the more delicious watermelons, it's called Qilin melon."

　　If nothing else, there are dozens of varieties of watermelon reformed in Huaxia, which can be eaten for a month without repetition.

　　The unicorn melon that is now taken out is one of the best-selling ones. .

Chapter 49

　　While everyone was watching, Wu He, who was preparing to cut the melon with a knife, just touched the watermelon lightly, ready to forcefully cut the watermelon into two pieces.

　　However, he found that the watermelon cracked on its own without much effort.

　　"Crack!"

　　The two cross-sections of the watermelon are displayed, accompanied by a burst of sweet fruity aroma, the inside of the watermelon is fully displayed, the red flesh is bright red like blood, and some parts actually take on a sandy shape.In addition, the seeds of watermelon are so few that they can hardly be seen.

　　"Looks ripe! But why doesn't it have seeds?"

　　While surprised, Li Yuan was also a little puzzled.Generally speaking, there are many seeds in the pulp of cold melon, which is very inconvenient to eat.

　　"Yuyao, here it is."

　　Lu Xiu took the cut watermelon and gave it to his future wife, Li Yuyao.

　　"Thank you husband." Li Yuyao smiled sweetly at Lu Xiu.

　　The torment of tuberculosis made her body thin, but after being recuperated in Luzhuang for more than ten days, she ate and drank well every day, and her body slowly returned to its normal level. Her skin was moist and shiny, not beautiful.

　　Looking at the bright red watermelon, Li Yuan took a big bite unceremoniously. The original rustling and crunchy pulp gradually melted under chewing.

　　"It's so sweet."

　　I never thought that cold melon could be so sweet.And the taste is so good, completely different from all the cold melons I have eaten before.

　　Li Yuan stayed for a while, the watermelon flesh was crispy and sandy, he had never eaten such a delicious melon and fruit.

　　Compared with the cold melon he just took out, it is not sure how much sweeter it is.It's too sweet, and the pulp is full of juice. After chewing a few times, the watermelon juice burst out from the pulp, which is a relief.

　　"This cold melon is too delicious." Li Yuyao said in surprise.

　　"Yeah, the cool sand is sweet and the pulp is juicy. Compared to the cold melon picked by this old man, it's hard to swallow." Li Yuan took one bite after another and couldn't stop at all.
