Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 210 Watermelon
In June, it was so hot that Xu Yue would quietly wear shorts, shorts, sandals and slippers at home.

After receiving a letter from Junmei Tuo in the evening, saying that the things grown in her small vegetable field had split, Xu Yue followed the steps that came to deliver the letter and rushed home overnight.

When she arrived at her home, Xu Yue completely let herself go. After taking a bath in the bathroom, she ran home wearing straw flip-flops and a big bath towel.

And under the bath towel, there is only a sleeveless jacket and shorts, which are completely unacceptable for people of this era.

Fortunately, she is young, and the villagers in Zhuangshang have learned a lot of new knowledge in the school. It cannot be said that her mind is completely liberated, but she is not so pedantic anymore.

Besides, the owner's family is not very serious, so it's not surprising.

Not to mention the host family, even they, when the weather is too hot, they hide at home to enjoy the coolness and no longer cover themselves with long shirts and trousers all the time.

The men were even more daring. In front of Wang Dayou's blacksmithing stove, there were all shirtless men wearing knee-length shorts. Beads of sweat rolled down the bronze-colored back. By chance, a woman passed by. She was so ashamed that she blushed.

Because of the increasingly hot weather, the business of the bathhouse has improved. It costs one work point to take a bath. After a busy day, everyone is sweating, and the first thing they do after work is to rush into the bathroom.

Taking a comfortable bath, changing into dry clothes, and then going home to cook and eat is the happiest moment for villagers who have worked all day.

However, Xu Yue is now thinking about her broken baby, and has no time to feel the happiness of the villagers. She rushed all the way to the hospital on her flip flops. After finding the backbone, he hurriedly got up and shouted: "Young lady!"

"Where is it cracked? Where is it cracked? Tell me quickly!" Xu Yue couldn't wait to say hello to her little friend, and asked in a hurry.

Junmei pointed to the side of the green ball carefully wrapped in the grass frame and said: "Here, it was fine when I came to see it in the morning, but when I came to see it at noon, there was a crack, which can be seen faintly. It's red meat inside."

Everyone in Zhuangzi knew that the third lady had a small vegetable patch that was super precious, and said that the hope of all mankind was planted in it, but Junmei, who took good care of her every day, couldn't tell exactly how it was treasured.

All I know is that there is a strange thing growing here.

Green, at first it looked like a gourd, a small round one, and then it grew bigger, with bluish-white patterns on it—it really looked like a gourd in the vegetable field, she wondered if the young lady Being deceived, this is not a rare seed at all!
But Junmei didn't dare to say, so she could only help and take care of her carefully.

The sky was a bit dark, but Xu Yue had good eyesight. She lifted the straw frame and held it up to her eyes to look carefully. Seeing the crack, her heart tensed at first, and then she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if remembering something.

"How's it going?" Jun Mei was so nervous that she didn't dare to speak loudly, so she only asked softly because of how precious Xu Yue was to this thing.

Xu Yue put down the grass frame, shook her head, and said with a smile, "This melon is ripe!"

Junmei was taken aback, is she really a melon?No way!

Xu Yue, however, was full of joy and had no time to look at her little friend's unbelievable expression. Thinking of this watermelon seed, which had been painstakingly cultivated and carefully cultivated, it actually grew out. She felt that God had treated her well, and was silently grateful in her heart. It's been a while.

Then he turned to Ah Er who was in the corner of the yard and said, "Help me get the pots and kitchen knives from the kitchen."

"By the way, where is my aunt?" Xu Yue remembered that she had been home for so long and hadn't seen aunt.

It was getting dark, around 07:30 in the evening, if I had been training in the playground, I would have been back by now.

Junmei replied: "My aunt has gone to the government office. My cousin asked someone to go. Maybe I need to ask my aunt for advice on something. Maybe I won't be back tonight."

After all, it was already so dark, and there was no news yet, so it was probably going to stay in the city overnight.

Xu Yue sighed suddenly, the watermelon is ripe, but none of my father, mother, brother, and sister can keep up, alas~
"Young lady, do you want to cut melons and fry them?" Jun Mei looked at the knife and pot that Ah Er brought, and asked tentatively.

Xu Yue nodded, but she didn't want to fry it, "This is called watermelon, it's a fruit, and you can eat the pulp directly."

Xu Yue carefully pinched off the watermelon vine, and carried the ripe watermelon, which was about the size of a football, into the pavilion.Then fetch water from the well, wash it, and put it on the table.

Junmei watched from the side, feeling surprised, this is actually a fruit?What kind of smell?

However, seeing Xu Yue's pitiful look of wanting to share but couldn't find her family, she reminded: "There are still a lot of ice cubes in the tank for ice ale, and these ice cube farmers are scrambling for it every day before closing the stalls." Take it home to cool off, and I'll get you some?"

Xu Yue hurriedly asked: "Did you tell everyone that the water from the ice cannot be eaten?"

Junmei nodded: "Yes, I have already said it. Everyone knows that this ice is made of stone powder, so you dare not drink it. The melted water is also collected in a centralized manner. Mother, you did what you told me to do."

Xu Yue immediately felt relieved and asked Junmei to fetch some ice back.

The ice cubes in this village were made by her using potassium nitrate in the laboratory. The new market was opened as a gimmick.

In addition, the weather was really hot, and she couldn't bear it herself, so she took it out and used it.

There is not much potassium nitrate in stock, but fortunately she can reuse it, and the collected water can be re-extracted with tools in the laboratory.

Therefore, I lied to the big guys that the ice made of stone powder cannot be eaten, just for repeated use.

In fact, the ice made from saltpeter is edible and will not cause harm to the human body. Moreover, saltpeter is still a traditional Chinese medicine in Chinese medicine.

I heard that it can also be used together with other medicinal materials to treat jaundice, but Xu Yue is not a doctor after all, and for safety reasons, he has always been very cautious in using medicines.

Speaking of traditional Chinese medicine, Xu Yue remembered that there was still a health station missing in Zhuangzi, but it was too difficult to find a scarce resource like a doctor.

Besides, the doctor she wants is the kind who can accept new things, likes to keep learning and exploring, and can accept some new treatment plans, which is even more difficult and can only be followed by fate.

With ice, the watermelon should be able to last for another day, and my father and brother who are still in Bingzhou are out of luck.

Fortunately, my mother and sister can still taste it.

Xu Yue split the watermelon in half along the slit, and a sweet fragrance wafted out immediately. It was a smell that Junmei had never smelled before, and it was indescribably sweet.

She took a deep breath of the aroma, then looked at the red melon scoop with rich juice, and couldn't help swallowing.
