Mid May.

The weather is getting hot.

Su Yunluo missed his home in Beijing a little.

Mainly there are electric fans, refrigerators, air coolers, air conditioners and modern bathrooms.

Here, we can only rely on a large cattail leaf fan.

"It's so hot..."

Su Yunluo was sitting in the pavilion near the lake in the house. There was a big tree next to the pavilion.

It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but as the temperature gradually rises, even the air becomes hot.

At this time, if I could have some iced watermelon...

Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she called Eighteen over: "The watermelons in the field should be ripe, right?"

She had previously sent over a lot of vegetable seeds and wheat seeds, including watermelon seeds and melon seeds.

Su Yunluo divided the vegetable seeds into three portions and gave them to the village under one tree, the village under three trees, and the village under the big willow tree respectively, so that everyone could use them to sow.

As for the watermelon seeds and melon seeds, because there were the smallest quantities and only two small packets of each, Su Yunluo gave them all to Zhang Qingshan from Sankeshuxia Village and asked him to find a piece of land and help plant them.

The last time I visited, the watermelons and melons were growing exceptionally well.

It's lush and green, and you can tell at a glance that it's well taken care of.

Judging from the time, it should be almost mature now.

"Get your horses ready at once, and we'll go and have a look."

"Madam, aren't you afraid of the heat? I'll go for you."

"No need. Actually, I don't feel it's that hot." Compared to the fun of picking watermelons by yourself, this little heat is nothing!

"OK then."

Eighteen had no choice but to prepare the horse.

He also thoughtfully prepared a large sun hat for his wife.

The two men rode at full speed and arrived at the Three Trees Village in a short while.

Herbs don't need to be tended in the fields every day.

On a hot day like this, just water the plants in the morning and evening.

Therefore, at this moment, the villagers were all hiding at home to rest, and there was no one outside.

Su Yunluo took Eighteen and rode directly to the melon field.

Riding on a horse, looking at the green scenery in front of me.

When the wind blows, the big watermelons hiding underneath are revealed, which is really tempting.

I don't know if it's because of the watermelon variety.

She quickly got off her horse and ran to the watermelon field, knocking this and patting that.

Not bad, not bad, many of them are cooked.

The two of them picked more than a dozen watermelons in one breath, put them in baskets prepared in advance, and then rode back at full speed.

"Let's go and cool the watermelon first." After Su Yunluo arrived at the house, he immediately found a well and carefully threw the watermelon into the well.

Well water maintains a fixed temperature throughout the year, so it feels warm in winter and cool in summer.

After putting all the watermelons into the well, Su Yunluo went to take a shower and change clothes.

After taking a bath, the watermelon was chilled and she notified everyone to eat the watermelon in the pavilion.

As a result, it is easy to put the watermelon down, but not so easy to take it out.

Fortunately, there were many people in the house who had good skills. Sisi went upside down in the well and quickly fished out two big watermelons.

After repeating this process several times, more than a dozen watermelons were brought up.

Su Yunluo ordered someone to get a knife and cut the watermelon in the middle, dividing it into two.

Then everyone got half a watermelon and ate it with a spoon!

At times like this, don't worry about your image, just do whatever makes you comfortable.

Hold half of a big, cold watermelon, scoop up a big spoonful of the red flesh, and eat it in big mouthfuls!

Sweet!

Feeling cool all over!

The summer heat seemed to disappear at this moment.

"Madam, this way of eating watermelon is too arrogant."

The red and sweet watermelon really helps to cool you down!

"Just tell me, is it fun to eat like this? Isn't it super satisfying?"

"Yes."

Everyone had a great time.

Su Yunluo suddenly tilted her head and said to Bai Zhi, "Watermelon is cold, Bai Zhi, you are pregnant, you should eat less."

"Oh." Bai Zhi had already satisfied her craving, so she put down the spoon and put the watermelon aside.

Su Yunluo, like a magic trick, brought her a plate of melon: "Eat this."

Only one melon was ripe.

When a ripe melon is cut open, the fruity aroma is so fragrant that it makes you salivate.

Su Yunluo gave the only melon to Bai Zhi.

Everyone had no objection and ate while laughing.

An ordinary afternoon becomes filled with the sweetness of happiness because of these watermelons and melons.

……

At lunch the next day.

Su Yunluo asked someone to make watermelon juice with the remaining watermelon.

Everyone has a cup.

Looks good, tastes good and cools down the body.

A dozen watermelons were displayed in just two days.

Early in the morning of the third day, Su Yunluo took Eighteen and Sisi to the Three Trees Village again.

When Zhang Qingshan saw Su Yunluo, he immediately apologized: "Madam Su, I was careless and didn't keep an eye on your watermelon. Please punish me."

"What do you mean? Tell me slowly." Su Yunluo was confused.

"I asked someone to count the watermelons in the field the day before yesterday morning, and there was not a single one missing. But when I asked someone to check again yesterday afternoon, I found that twelve large watermelons were missing. Madam, it's my fault that I couldn't even take care of the watermelons! Please punish me, Madam!"

Twelve big watermelons!

Isn’t this the watermelon that I picked myself?

"Actually, you know the melon thief." Su Yunluo said.

Zhang Qingshan immediately became alert when he heard this: "Who is it? If I find out, I will make him pay!"

Su Yunluo pointed at Eighteen next to him, then pointed at himself: "It's the two of us."

"Ah?" Zhang Qingshan was so surprised and happy that he forgot to control his expression for a moment.

"Village Chief Zhang, what do you plan to let us think?" Eighteen asked calmly.

Zhang Qingshan slapped his thigh and said, "It's my fault. I didn't even know that Madam had been to the village. I still need Madam's punishment."

"Okay, stop talking about punishment all the time. It's hot in the summer, and the temperature is already torturous enough. Let's not torture ourselves. Besides, if others see you like this, they will think I like to punish others!" Su Yunluo joked and turned the page: "I'm here today to deal with these watermelons. Call two people and go pick watermelons with me."

"Yes." Zhang Qingshan agreed quickly.

"It would be better to take a few more baskets."

"it is good."

Wearing a sun hat, Su Yunluo first taught everyone some tips on picking watermelons, and then started picking watermelons.

Pick the big round watermelons one by one.

Soon four large baskets were filled.

Su Yunluo took one basket away, and the rest was divided among the three villages. Zhang Qingshan helped deliver the other two villages.

Before leaving, Su Yunluo specifically instructed everyone to save the watermelon seeds when eating watermelon so that they could plant them next year.

After picking the watermelons, I was already sweating all over.

Before the hottest time of the day arrived, Su Yunluo took Eighteen and Sisi and went back first.

After arriving at the mansion, I took a comfortable bath and then cut the watermelon chilled with well water into small pieces, eating one piece at a time with a small bamboo stick.
