Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

As time passed, Yun Duo finally completed this difficult task. Looking at the pile of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the tent in front of her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Next, she had to find a way to take them out.

Another crop that Yun Duo thought of was watermelon.

When I was in college, I visited a classmate’s house during the summer vacation. That classmate’s family grew a lot of watermelons. She was curious and went to the field to pick watermelons with her classmate’s parents.

The classmate's parents patiently explained to her what kind of land is suitable for growing watermelons, how to choose ripe watermelons, and how to distinguish between a very ripe watermelon and one that is only about 80% or 90% ripe.

She still remembers what they said: The fully ripe ones must be eaten right after they are picked, the ones that are 80% to 90% ripe can be kept for a while, and they are fully ripe when they are shipped to other places and sold.

She will go to the county town tomorrow to see if there is anyone selling watermelon seeds. If not, she will have to take out the watermelons in the refrigerator and let her family eat them, and then leave the seeds.

Li Xiuxiu saw Yun Qingsong coming at the door of the tent and opened the door to let him in.

Yun Qingsong looked at the sweet potatoes and potatoes piled in the tent, and his daughter who was sweating from exhaustion, and said distressedly: "Duo'er, that's enough. Take a rest and don't get too tired."

"Dad, Mom, let's go to Dad and Second Brother's tent. I'll give you something delicious to eat. Mom, call Little Sibao back secretly."

Yun Chenxi was reading a book in the tent alone. The door of the tent was open so that there was plenty of light inside. With the small solar-powered electric fan that Yun Duo gave her, it didn't feel hot inside.

"Sister, why are you here?" Yun Chenxi said happily when she saw Yun Duo coming.

"Brother, let me bring you something delicious."

As soon as the father and daughter entered the tent, Yun Chenxing ran over, followed by Li Xiuxiu.

Yun Chenxing ran and said, "Dad, I'm here. What subject do you want to test us on? Please hurry up. I still have to play hide-and-seek with them after the test."

He ran in and bumped into someone’s arms. When he saw it was his sister, he said happily: “Sister, why are you here too! Is daddy going to test you on your homework too? Daddy wants to test you on your homework, so brother Xi doesn’t dare to come. Hehehe…”

"Little Sibao, it was your sister who asked your mother to find you. Your sister will give you something delicious that you have never tasted before.

This delicious food cannot be given to others today, so my sister asked mother to secretly invite you alone. Xi Bao and the others will give it to them when my sister returns from the county town tomorrow."

Yun Chenxing blinked his big, bright eyes and said happily: "I knew my sister loved me the most. She would give me the first delicious food."

"You are my favorite little baby, so of course you should be the first one to eat."

"Then Daddy, Mommy, and Second Brother are also my sister's favorites, right?"

"Yes! Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Brother and Little Four are all my favorite family members. Of course, the delicious food should be given to the closest family members first."

"Sister is the best."

Yun Duo took out a watermelon and the chopping board that was specially used for cutting fruits. She cut the watermelon in half, cut one half into small pieces, and handed one piece to each of her parents and second brother. "Dad, Mom, try it. This is called watermelon."

She did not take the chopped pieces, but took out two stainless steel spoons from the space and gave one to Yun Chenxing, "Sibao, come and eat with this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Duo quickly picked up the spoon and skillfully and gracefully scooped out a spoonful from the middle of the juicy, red watermelon. Then she handed it to Yun Chenxing's mouth and said softly, "Come on, Sibao, try this and see if it tastes good."

In Yun Duo's opinion, only by eating the watermelon slowly and carefully with a spoon can one truly appreciate its wonderful taste. Cutting the watermelon into small pieces will lose the soul of eating watermelon.

Yun Chenxing, imitating her sister's example, scooped the watermelon with a spoon and gave Yun Duo a bite.

"Sister, what is this? It's so delicious, sweet, moist, and icy. If you sell this in the capital, you will definitely get a lot of money."

Yun Duo thought to herself: "This little brother will definitely be a good businessman in the future. If you think this way, you can see the value of this thing."

"This fruit is called watermelon. Don't forget to spit out the seeds! We need to plant these seeds in the ground."

Li Xiuxiu: "Duo'er, this is really sweet and very thirst-quenching."

The family of five ate a cold watermelon with great relish. Yun Chenxing's stomach was bulging with food, and he said with his belly sticking out: "This is so delicious, can I eat it tomorrow?"

"When my sister goes to the county tomorrow, she will take out a few from the space and say that they were bought in the county. Then we can give them to my second grandfather, second grandmother, uncles, aunts, and everyone else to eat. However, the ones that were taken out first will not be as cold as these, but they are also delicious."

"Sister, that's great. Tomorrow we can let the other brothers and sisters taste the sweet watermelon."

Yun Chenxi said to his sister with a serious face: "Sister, this kind of fruit seems to be not available in the Zhao Dynasty yet. Anyway, I have never heard of it, and there is no record of it in books. If it can be successfully cultivated, the price will definitely be very high.

However, the yield and potential value of the seeds you took out, especially sweet potatoes and potatoes, must be kept strictly secret and not revealed to anyone until they are mature.

Even the folks in our Xiangyun Village must not tell us too much, otherwise once the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous!

Although Concubine Yu's group has recently stopped their actions against our Xiangyun Village, that was because Grandpa and Grandmaster had diverted her attention, causing her to relax her vigilance temporarily.

In her eyes, she probably thought that we would never achieve anything great, so she focused all her energy on dealing with the prince and the advisor, and didn't take us seriously at all.

If her people knew that we had such precious seeds in our hands, she would definitely not let us go easily.

Instead of being constantly on guard against possible plots, it is better for us to keep a low profile and try not to attract her attention. Only in this way can we ensure our safety!"

Yun Qingsong looked at his daughter seriously and said earnestly, "My daughter, what your second brother said makes sense. The situation is complicated now, and we must keep a low profile.

In the eyes of outsiders, we pretend to be bumpkins who have never seen the world. In this way, we can temporarily confuse those who have ulterior motives and make them let down their guard.

As for the watermelon, we must not let the news leak out to other people in the village. If we can't buy the seeds tomorrow, we can say that Dazhao doesn't have this product yet, so the watermelon can't be taken out."

Li Xiuxiu said: "Then we will have five people to eat. When will we have enough seeds?"

Yun Qingsong thought for a moment and said, "Then, for the sake of more seeds, we will temporarily tell your second grandfather's family and your aunt's family. This was specially found overseas by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We cannot tell anyone else about it and ask them to keep it a secret."

Li Xiuxiu was still worried: "It's easy to deal with adults, but what about the children?"

Yun Duo thought for a while and said, "Second Grandpa's family is trustworthy. As for the younger brothers and sisters, it should be okay as long as we remind them. Even the youngest Lele will not tell anyone. Xige'er will be even better. You see, he drank milk tea at our house, and even his parents and sister didn't know about it. It's just... my aunt's place?"

The cloud hesitated to speak.

"Although your aunt is sometimes confused in her emotions, she will not reveal anything when it comes to the safety of the whole family."

Yun Duo nodded: "Dad, second brother, let's get enough watermelon seeds when we get back from the county tomorrow. Then, it will be hard for Dad to dry them and germinate them."

The family of five finished eating the watermelon, and Yun Duo put the garbage into the space trash can.

She gave Yun Qingsong the planting methods of potatoes, sweet potatoes and watermelons: "Dad, when the land is ready, you can plant according to the instructions written here! I don't know much about farming. I plan to go to the capital when we come back from the county tomorrow. I don't feel comfortable with grandpa being alone there."

According to their schedule, Yunhai and his companions should have arrived in the capital yesterday, but Yunhai did not enter the space yesterday. Yunduo didn't know what happened there, so she was a little worried.

Yun Duo was thinking about her grandfather's depressed mood and she was very worried about Yun Hai.
