Zhou Sisi asked the waiter to bring a clean kitchen knife and started cutting the watermelon.

The watermelons watered by the spiritual spring are indeed top quality. With one cut, the watermelon juice spurts out, carrying with it the unique fragrance of watermelon.

He swiftly handed the cut watermelon to Shopkeeper Jiang and distributed it to a few waiters who were standing nearby watching the fun.

"Try it. This is called watermelon. It is sweet and refreshing, quenches thirst, relieves heat and relieves greasiness. It is very refreshing and delicious."

"Just spit out the seeds when it's time, but it's okay if you don't."

After Zhou Sisi finished speaking, she took the lead in eating it, as a way of setting an example for these people who had never seen watermelon before.

Then everyone else started eating according to her way. After taking a bite, everyone had a look of surprise on their face.

The first thought that came to my mind was that this thing called watermelon is really delicious. It is sweet, crunchy, thirst-quenching, has a good taste and is very refreshing.

"Delicious!" Shopkeeper Jiang was the first to give a thumbs up.

“Yes, this watermelon is delicious!”

"It's the most delicious melon I've ever eaten, even better than those sweet melons!"

The waiter praised the dish non-stop, and everyone wanted more after finishing a piece.

"Uncle Jiang, this watermelon not only has delicious flesh, but the rind can also be made into a cold dish or stir-fried. Adding some shredded pork to stir-fry is also a delicious dish."

Zhou Sisi has described all the ways to eat watermelon. When she was watching short videos before, she saw that in Korea, many side dishes can be made from just the watermelon rind. So what she said is conservative.

"Did you grow this? It's really good. How many are left? I'll buy them all!" As businessmen, Shopkeeper Jiang could tell the value of this watermelon at a glance.

"I'm planting them now. I got these seeds by accident in a Chinese medicine shop. I gave it a try and didn't expect them to grow. There are no large quantities of seeds yet."

"I only grew eight this time. I kept two for my family, and I brought the rest with me."

"This one is for you to eat. If you want the remaining five, Uncle Jiang, I'll keep them all for you!"

"Yes, of course I do!"

"How long will it take you to grow it? When will it be available?" Shopkeeper Jiang said he wanted the rest too before Zhou Sisi finished speaking.

"There is only one seedling now. It will take about a month for it to grow completely." Zhou Sisi answered without hesitation. She had thought about it anyway, so this matter was not difficult for her at all.

"Okay! When your watermelon is ripe, I'll take as many as you have!"

"How much do you think is a good price for the remaining five? I'll give you the silver now!"

When Zhou Sisi heard what Shopkeeper Jiang said, she knew that the matter was settled, and quickly asked the waiter to bring in the remaining five large watermelons. Each one was round and looked very pleasing to the eye, the kind that made people want to eat it at first sight.

"Uncle Jiang, if you weigh this watermelon, it will definitely not be worth it for you. How about this, you just give me one tael of silver for each one."

"This watermelon is a rare commodity. You are also aware of the saying that rare things are valuable. I don't need to explain more. You can cut it into pieces and sell them. I believe you will be able to make back your investment soon!"

With Shopkeeper Jiang's business acumen, Zhou Sisi didn't need to say much, as he knew what was going on.

"Okay, when the rest has grown, just remember to send it over!" Shopkeeper Jiang quickly took out the silver and handed it to Zhou Sisi.

"Uncle Jiang, this is the braised meat I made myself as a gift to you. Please try it!"

Zhou Sisi handed him the two oil paper bags in her hand.

"You are just being polite, kid. I don't want your things for nothing. I'll give it to you. It will be more convenient for you to come in and out in the future!"

When Shopkeeper Jiang took the oil paper bag, he also handed over a small bamboo sign.

Zhou Sisi understood it at a glance. This was the so-called token used by the wealthy merchants in Sishui Town to enter and exit. This way, she wouldn't have to pay every time she came in, which would be more convenient.

"Thank you! Then I'll leave first. See you later!" Zhou Sisi thanked and left.

After she left, Shopkeeper Jiang happily cut the remaining half of the watermelon and brought it upstairs.

"Master, please try it, it's delicious."

Song Moli sat up straight, glanced at the watermelon on the table, and looked at Manager Jiang with a puzzled look.

"This is called watermelon, a rare fruit that I just got. It has the effect of relieving heat and relieving greasiness. The key is that it tastes good too. Come and try it."

After saying this, Shopkeeper Jiang took a piece and handed it to Lingyi who was standing aside with a stern look on his face.

"Try it!" Song Moli took a bite first, then looked at Lingyi.

Shopkeeper Jiang looked at how fast his master ate and knew that he must be very satisfied with the taste of the watermelon.

"Who sent this?"

Song Moli was indeed very surprised that this fruit called watermelon actually tasted so good. It was very juicy, crisp and refreshing, and tasted really good.

Lingyi also thought it was good. After eating one piece, he wanted to eat a second piece. It was delicious!

"It was sent by a friend of mine. She is the one who planted it."

At this time, Shopkeeper Jiang stuck his head out of the window and saw Zhou Sisi buying candy figures opposite the restaurant!

"That's her. This girl hasn't left yet. She's still a child after all, haha!"

Song Moli looked in the direction that Shopkeeper Jiang pointed, his gaze passed through the bustling crowd and fell on a stall selling candy figures across the road. He saw a girl who was grinning foolishly while holding a little rabbit candy figure in her hand.

The girl looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. She was wearing a lavender dress and her hair was tied back with a headband of the same color. She was a little thin and looked like she hadn't grown up yet.

But she smiles very cutely. Standing in the sun, her little face is rosy, her almond-shaped eyes are curved when she smiles, and there are two playful dimples on the corners of her lips. Her skin is not fair, but her facial features are delicate overall. I'm sure she will be a bright beauty when she grows up in a few years.

Zhou Sisi didn't notice that anyone was looking at her. Her mind was now entirely on the candy man. She had seen such candy men in period films before, and she didn't expect to actually encounter one. She had to buy a few more and also buy a few for her younger brothers.

"How many watermelons are left?" Song Moli watched Zhou Sisi get on the donkey cart before he withdrew his gaze.

"Ms. Zhou said she only managed to grow eight in total. She kept two for her family and cut one for me. I bought the remaining five."

Shopkeeper Jiang didn't dare hide anything and told the truth.

"I'll take two, and the rest is yours!" Song Moli looked up at Manager Jiang and said.

"Okay! I'll pack it for you right away!" Shopkeeper Jiang ran very fast. It seemed that the master was going back with the watermelon. Thank God, because he would not be able to bear it if he stayed any longer.

In fact, the master is a good person who knows how to use people. It's just that his aura is too oppressive and he can hardly cope with it.
