Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　Kirin watermelon is very sweet and tastes much better than the one he brought.Especially sweet but not greasy, fruity aroma.Half is rustling and half is juicy.It quenches its thirst and feels refreshed after eating it, like taking a cold bath in summer.

　　The three divided the watermelon of almost [-] catties and ate one piece after another. It didn't take long for the stomach to expand, but there was still more than half of a large watermelon left.

　　"Little brother Lu, what are you eating?" Just as they were feasting, the guy Cheng Yaojin appeared at the right time.

　　Watching them nibble on the watermelon, the juice from the red pulp even dyed their clothes red.

　　"Haha, Brother Cheng came by coincidence, come here, you can eat a piece too." Lu Xiu brought a piece of watermelon to Cheng Yaojin.

　　"Uncle Cheng, have a taste. Such delicious melons and fruits, I guarantee that after you eat them, you will still remember them. I don't know how cold melons can be so delicious." Li Yuyao said.

　　He glanced at the bright red watermelon, Cheng Yaojin swallowed his saliva, and it was the first time he saw the cold melon grow so ripe.

　　The skin of the melon with white and green stripes is actually a fiery red color, which is hotter than the flame. I don't know how it tastes and whether it is edible.

　　Full of curiosity, Cheng Yaojin took a sip, and the rich sweetness exploded directly on his taste buds.

　　After chewing, the juice in the pulp burst out, and the sand was sweet, like drinking a cup of thick juice.

　　"It's so sweet, how can there be such a sweet melon." Cheng Yaojin exclaimed.

　　It's actually sweeter than sugar, and it has a lot of juice. Cheng Yaojin, who was thirsty, didn't feel so thirsty after taking a few bites, and he felt very refreshed.

　　Originally last summer, Cheng Yaojin often went to the Imperial Garden to steal cold melons to eat, so he naturally recognized the cold melons.In the hot summer, if you can eat a refreshing one, it will not work.

　　Now let alone one, his stomach is almost full after eating a few pieces.

　　"belch."

　　"Little friend Lu, can I bring one back? I also want my mother-in-law and children to taste it." Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and aimed at several uncut watermelons on the ground.

　　Lu Xiu had just changed eight. Although he cut two and distributed them to the servants around him, there were still several left.

　　"You're too greedy, it's okay to eat it for you, I want to take it back." Li Yuan said unhappily.

　　"My son was on duty last night and couldn't rest. I just happened to meet him on the road. He seemed very tired, so I wanted to bring two for him to taste." Cheng Yaojin explained forcefully.

　　"Okay, I'll give you two." Cheng Chumo was on duty last night and couldn't taste it, so Lu Xiu was not unkind.

　　"Hey, thank you, Brother Lu, for bringing two big ones back, my whole family can taste such delicious cold melon." Cheng Yaojin said happily. .

Chapter 50

　　In addition to pulling 20 buckets of Maotai, Cheng Yaojin was happiest when he went back with two delicious big watermelons.He happily thought about putting it in the ice cellar to freeze it, and then taking it out to eat, it would definitely be very refreshing and refreshing.

　　I don't know how to plant it, but the melon and fruit that Brother Lu calls watermelon is so sweet, it seems that he is indeed a kind of cold melon.

　　"Zhijie, wait a minute."

　　When returning to the gate of Chang'an City, Cheng Yaojin was stopped by Li Er, and Cheng Yaojin did not expect to meet His Majesty on the road.

　　Seeing how he was dressed lightly, Cheng Yaojin could clearly guess that he should go to Luzhuang.

　　"Haha, I don't know what His Majesty called me." Cheng Yaojin quietly hid the two large watermelons behind him.

　　Little did he know that his small movements were clearly seen by Li Er.

　　"Zhijie, what are you holding?"

　　"No, nothing."

　　Thinking that Maotai, which was less than [-] catties last time, lost [-] catties by Li Erfen, Cheng Yaojin covered the watermelon even tighter.

　　"Take it out and show me what it is." Li Er said lightly.

　　"Yes." Helpless, Cheng Yaojin could only put the two big watermelons he was carrying in front of Li Er.

　　"Well, is it a cold melon?" But the color is lighter, and the volume is much larger than the cold melon seen in the imperial garden.

　　"Your Majesty is indeed well-informed, it is indeed a cold melon." Cheng Yaojin nodded vigorously.

　　"Zhijie, you got it back from Zhuang Lu, right?" Li Er didn't fudge so well, but continued to ask.

　　"Well, I've always liked to eat cold melon, so I asked Brother Lu to bring it back to me in two." Cheng Yaojin said.

　　"Hehe, I don't know how the cold melon that the owner of Lu Zhuang tastes like. Zhijie, since you took two from him, give me one of them, so that I don't have to run again." Li Er smiled. road.

　　"Your Majesty, this is not good." Cheng Yaojin said with a bitter face.

　　"Hmph, what's wrong, do you want to swallow it alone?" Li Er glared at him.

　　Helpless, Cheng Yaojin could only reluctantly give up one to Li Er, and he secretly cursed why he was so unlucky that he would meet Li Er who was fighting the autumn wind.

　　…………

　　Li Er was in a very happy mood when someone brought a [-]-pound watermelon back to the palace.

　　There are many cold melons in Yu Garden, but the cold melon in front of me, Cheng Yaojin is so precious, it is definitely not an ordinary cold melon.

　　"If it's delicious, just give Guanyin's maid a taste." He couldn't finish the [-]-pound cold melon by himself anyway.

　　It's hard to imagine that a cold melon actually grows to a weight of dozens of pounds, and the heaviest one in the imperial garden is less than ten pounds.

　　In the Taiji Palace, Li Er asked the eunuch to cut the watermelon into pieces and put them on the table.

　　The table today is not a knee-high desk, but an [-]-centimeter-high four-cornered table, which I learned from Lu Xiu.

　　The moment the watermelon is cut, the sweet smell spreads out.The red flesh looks very appetizing.

　　Since it's a seedless watermelon, you can't see a single seed.

　　"It looks delicious." Li Er took a piece and bit into the red flesh.

　　Originally thought that the taste was similar to that of cold melon, but he found that he was wrong.

　　The pulp is very crunchy, with a part of the rustiness attached.One sip, the watermelon juice burst out, very refreshing,

　　The sweetness is actually slightly better than the brown sugar in the palace, and there is no sourness at all.

　　The cold melon in the imperial garden has a hard, sour and sweet taste.

　　How should I put it, because it has a lot of juice, it can also be used as a vegetable and fruit to relieve the heat in summer.

　　However, compared to the cold melon in front of him, it is not a level.

　　Another advantage is that there is not a single seed in the pulp, so you can eat it in large gulps.

　　"It's so sweet, it's really delicious, none of the pulp that Mr. Lu has brought out is simple." Li Er exclaimed.He ate a few pieces by himself, still feeling unfulfilled.

　　"Such a delicious cold melon must be tasted by Guanyin maid."

　　Her own queen couldn't go to eat with him, and she didn't have the opportunity to taste Luzhuang's food. Now she has a rare opportunity to bring Hangua back to the palace.

　　After instructing the eunuch to take the watermelon, Li Er excitedly went to the queen's bedroom.

　　"Hey, didn't Your Majesty say to go to Luzhuang?" Seeing Li Er's arrival, Empress Zhangsun said in surprise.

　　"Hee hee, it's because the sun is too big, and the royal father doesn't want to go." Li Zhi said.

　　"Haha, I just had that plan. But I met Zhijie on the way, and saw that he brought back two cold melons from Luzhuang. I took one from him and brought it back to the palace, so I wanted the Guanyin maid to taste it." Li Two smiled.

　　"Cheng Zhijie, who always goes to other people to scavenge, actually has this day." Hearing this, Guanyin's maid pursed her lips and smiled, "But if it's cold melon, there should be a lot of plants in the imperial garden."

　　"The queen doesn't know something. It's not comparable to ordinary cold melons. You can tell when you eat them." Then, Li Er asked the eunuch to bring the cut watermelon.

　　"Good red flesh."

　　The surprised eldest grandson Wugou, after taking a bite, immediately widened his eyes, "No way, why is it so sweet."

　　"Lizhi also came to eat and see." Li Lizhi took a piece without saying a word.

　　Li Lizhi's reaction was no better than Empress Changsun.Watermelon is also a very popular fruit in later generations.

　　The unicorn melon is extremely sweet, and some of the pulp has a sandy-sweet taste, which is much more than the current cold melon. .

Chapter 51

　　"Guanyin maid, I didn't lie to you, everything in Anping County's Lu Zhuang is delicious." Li Er said with a smile.

　　"Yes, His Majesty's words are indeed true, it feels sweet to my heart." Changsun Wugou was very surprised by the sweetness of the watermelon.

　　Just a melon and fruit can be so delicious, what will the other dishes there taste like?

　　"Actually, it's not much different from the fruit in the ice cream sundae I ate last time." Li Zhi whispered.But the unique taste of watermelon makes it feel delicious.

　　Of course, Lizhi also likes the current watermelon very much, mainly because it is very crunchy and juicy. It is very comfortable to eat a few bites on a hot day.

　　"Your Majesty. Tai'er likes Hangua the most, why don't you give him a share." Zhangsun Wugou suggested.

　　"Hehe, don't worry, we can't finish it! Although there is only one, but he weighs more than thirty pounds, even if it is distributed to ten people, it will be more than enough." Li Er said.

　　Later, Li Er summoned his two most beloved sons, Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

　　Naturally, Li Chengqian didn't need to say that Li Er was canonized as the crown prince not long after he ascended the throne.

　　And Li Tai is the child of him and the eldest grandson. He is worried that his brothers will turn against each other, so he loves him very much.

　　"My son sees my father."

　　Two seven or eight-year-old princes gave Li Er a salute.

　　"No gift. Tai'er, Chengqian, I brought a delicious cold melon from Luzhuang. I know you like it, so I want to share a little with you." Li Er said.

　　"Thank you father for the reward."

　　There were more than ten pieces of red watermelon on the desk, and the two were curious, because Lizhi often told them that Luzhuang had a lot of delicious food.

　　The watermelon in front of them is also obviously different from the cold melon they often eat.

　　The two of them took a piece each, and cautiously took a bite.

　　Then, the reaction of the two was even more exaggerated than that of the Guanyin maid.

　　"It's too sweet."

　　After tasting it, both of them were extremely surprised, and there would be no harm without comparison.Compared with it, the cold melons in the imperial garden can be thrown out to feed the pigs.

　　Why are all cold melons, but the taste is so different?

　　"Is it delicious?" Li Er smiled.
