Chapter 641 Watermelon
"If we don't do this business today, there will be others willing to do it later. Think about it, this is 40 taels of silver, which is more real than selling fields."

"I just can't bear it."

"There's nothing you can't bear, the old house is broken like that, and it will collapse in two years, so you still can't bear it, isn't it just a pile of broken bricks.

You really want to think that our family has suffered a lot from selling the ancestral house, and then use the money to buy some fields and come back. It’s okay to buy fields, and you can still grow crops. "

When Chi Ziyu and Qi Xingyun came out of Zheng's house, they happened to pass by Uncle Liang's watermelon patch.

Uncle Liang's family planted three acres of watermelon fields.

On a midsummer day, the sun was falling, and several acres of watermelon fields were shining brightly.

Uncle Liang and his two sons were picking watermelons in the field, and they were going to sell them in the city at the market tomorrow.

Chi Ziyu just wanted to eat watermelon, and Qi Xingyun also wanted to eat watermelon.

They glanced at each other, then walked to Uncle Liang's watermelon field tacitly.

"Uncle Liang, let's buy watermelons." Chi Ziyu shouted from afar.

Uncle Liang said "Hey" and said, "Buy watermelons, that's fine, you can pick whatever you want, you can pick whichever you want."

"Uh-huh."

Chi Ziyu and Qi Xingyun smiled at each other, then bent down to pick watermelons.

Uncle Liang is very good at growing watermelons, and he grows them very well every year. Now he can sell them in the city.

In summer, sales of watermelons are particularly good.

The melons that Uncle Liang grows are all round watermelons with peeled skins, and one can be found within two steps.

Some have already been exposed to the sun impressively.

Others hide under the rice stalks to shade the sun, half cover the pipa and half cover the face.

Chi Ziyu picked a large watermelon at random, and began to knock on the watermelon to hear the sound.

If the sound is clear and crisp, it means that the watermelon is a good melon and has ripened.

If the sound is dull, the opposite is true.

"This one is ripe." Chi Ziyu picked off the big watermelon with a clear voice just now.

"This one is familiar too."

Qi Xingyun also picked one off.

"Then let's pick two first, it won't be easy to carry them back later."

"it is good."

Chi Ziyu and Qi Xingyun each carried a watermelon to find Uncle Liang.

Uncle Liang specially set up a semi-cylindrical melon shed in the melon field.

If you are tired of picking watermelons, you can go inside to enjoy the cool.

And now is the season when watermelons are ripe, so Uncle Liang often goes to the melon fields to watch over them.

Watch out for melon thieves, but also for those wild boars who come to steal melons, and you can't leave during the day and night.

It would be much better to have a melon shed.

The picked watermelon will also be placed in the shed to dry, so as not to be exposed to the sun.

Of course, Uncle Liang's name is also placed in the melon shed.

Uncle Liang moved a long bamboo couch from his house, and he usually rests here.

Both Chi Ziyu and Qi Xingyun were invited to the melon shed to weigh melons and pay.

Uncle Liang put down the basket of cantaloupe in his hand and started looking for a scale to weigh it.

"Uncle Liang, the watermelons your family grows are so big." Chi Ziyu said.

She was so envious of Uncle Liang's watermelon patch.

She will also grow watermelons next year.

"That is, anyway, I have been growing watermelons for so many years, and I have figured out the way to grow watermelons.

I dare say that our village has not grown watermelons like mine, which are big and sweet. "Uncle Liang said proudly.

"This melon weighs eight catties and four taels." Uncle Liang weighed the first watermelon, and then showed Chi Ziyu the scale.

Chi Ziyu nodded, trusting him.

Uncle Liang has always been honest in his business, never short of money.

"This, seven catties and six taels."

"Ten coins per catty, a total of... 160 coins."

"it is good."

Chi Ziyu took out the money and paid.
