The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

In the following days, with Shitou helping Su's father irrigate the crops and take care of the poultry cages, Su Weixi and Su's mother felt much more relaxed.

Shitou enjoyed his life every day. He did some housework, practiced martial arts with Su's father, and occasionally went hunting in the mountains.

And with the delicious food Su Weixi prepared every day, he hoped that his master would call him back later.

However, he was happy, but Qing'er was sad all day long. He sat at the gate of the yard and looked outside every day. Everyone knew that he missed his family.

But there is no other way, I can only find something to divert his attention every day.

That day, Su Weixi had just woken up from a nap when he saw Qing'er sitting at the gate of the yard again, with Xiao Huihui lying beside him and sleeping soundly.

"Qing'er, it's too sunny outside, how about we go back inside and have some cakes?" The little brat especially liked the cakes and cookies made by Su Weixu.

But today he shook his head unusually. Looking at the uninterested little kid, Su Weixi suddenly came up with an idea.

"Qing'er, how about I take you to pick watermelons?"

Su Weixi thought about the time when he went to the field two days ago and found that the watermelons he planted were almost ripe, so he started to ask.

"Sister, what kind of melon is watermelon?" Qing'er's big eyes showed great confusion.

"Want to know? Just come with me and you'll find out." Finally, the little brat's attention was diverted.

Su Weixi breathed a sigh of relief. Raising a child is not an easy task.

Su Weixi made an excuse to go back to the house to get a basket. After entering the room, he pulled out several straw hats of different sizes from the space supermarket.

After going out, he put the small hat on Qing'er's head, shouted hello to Su Ma who was enjoying the cool under the tree in the yard, and then the two of them set off for the watermelon field carrying baskets.

At that time, Su Ma bought a lot of different kinds of seeds, all in boxes. There were several varieties of watermelon seeds alone.

But at that time, Su Weixi only planted the seedless Qilin melon that he and his mother loved the most, and the Xisha melon that his father loved.

When the two of them arrived at the watermelon field, Qing'er looked at the watermelons on the ground with disbelief in her eyes, "Sister, your family actually grows winter melons?"

"Wangua?" Su Weixi was stunned for a moment, but recalling some books he had read in his previous life, watermelon was indeed called Hangua when it was first introduced.

"Yes, I was in the palace." The child realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and immediately changed his tone: "I have eaten it at home. It is a cold melon, which came from the Western Regions."

"Well, this is a winter melon. But at that time, my family heard from the peddler that it was a melon from the Western Regions, so my family called it watermelon." Su Weixi has formed a conditioned reflex and can always quickly make up for various loopholes in his family.

"Sister, your melon is so big. I've never seen this kind before. It's much bigger than the ones I've seen before." Qing'er said while pointing to the Xisha melon that was almost as tall as Qing'er.

"Sister, you guys are amazing. You actually managed to grow watermelons. Many people in Beijing tried but failed."

"Haha, is that so? Maybe the soil in this valley is more fertile. Well, let's stop talking. It's too hot today. Let's pick the watermelons and put them in the freezer."

Su Weixi was afraid that the little brat would continue asking questions, so she quickly changed the subject.

Qing'er didn't know how to choose a watermelon, so Su Weixi taught him the method of choosing watermelons that he learned on a certain website in his previous life, ensuring that he could pick a red and sweet watermelon.

First, look at the lines; ripe melons are darker in color, with even and neat lines and distinct shades of color, while unripe melons have very straight and thin lines.

Second, look at the navel of the watermelon; female watermelons have a small navel and are more juicy, so they are sweeter, while male watermelons have a large navel, thicker rind, and a worse taste.

The third is to pat it. When you pat a ripe melon, it will make a dull sound with vibrations, and the sound is muffled like the sound of a drum.

After hearing this, Qing'er immediately got excited and started to experiment. But she was still young after all, so every time she finished choosing, she would call Su Weixi over to confirm.

Su Weixi thought that since she wouldn't pick too many, she decided not to pick them alone and instead accompanied the little kid to pick watermelons.

Soon, after three failures, Qing'er finally picked a ripe watermelon on the fourth try.

In the end, the two of them picked eight melons in total, and Su Weixi was in a dilemma.

The little brat is here, and he can't use space to transport the watermelon back. But with the bodies of the two little carrots, he definitely can't take it back.

Just when Su Weixi was about to go home for help, Su's father and Shitou came with a backpack. It should be Su's mother who told them.

Shitou was drooling when he saw a large watermelon field.

He had eaten winter melon with his own young master before. When he saw it while accompanying Su's father to water the fields, he was surprised that the Su family could actually grow this winter melon.

The reason why Su's father treated him perfunctorily at that time was similar to the reason why Su Weixi treated Qing'er perfunctorily just now.

In order to avoid another hundred thousand whys waiting for her, Su Weixi started complaining about the heat and wanted to hurry to the shelf before Shi Tou opened his mouth.

After they filled their backpacks, Shitou held a watermelon in each hand and walked towards home.

Originally, Su Weixi wanted to put the watermelon in a water tank to freeze it for a while before cutting it and eating it.

In the end, he couldn't stand the two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, staring at the watermelon and himself, so he went to the kitchen and took a machete from the space to cut the watermelon.

In order to satisfy their curiosity, I cut a Qilin melon and then a Xisha melon for them to taste.

"Wow, sister, this melon is redder than the ones I saw in Beijing."

"Yes, and this round one is actually seedless."

"Stop wowin', try it now."

Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately picked up a piece each and handed it to Su's father and mother, and then they picked up a piece and started eating it.

The sweet taste of the food was so refreshing that the two of them had no time to talk and they only focused on eating the food.

Su Weixi also picked up a piece and started eating it. Hmm, the taste was the same as he remembered, and it even had a stronger fragrance than what he had eaten in his previous life.

It may be related to the spiritual spring water. When soaking the seeds, Su Weixi used spiritual spring water. Later, when transplanting the seedlings, Su Weixi asked his father to water them with diluted spiritual spring water.

Qing'er and Shitou ate one piece after another. Just when Qing'er was about to take another piece, Su's mother stopped her.

Children can't eat too much, otherwise their stomachs will feel uncomfortable.

Shitou is an adult now, so he is not afraid of getting a stomachache and just eats until he is full.

Su Weixi just watched him quietly without stopping him. The watermelon is very rich in water. Even if he doesn't have diarrhea after eating so much, he will still want to go to the toilet from time to time.

Eating watermelon today reminded Su Weixi of one thing: how delicious the watermelon would be if it were chilled.

Unfortunately, because of these two guys, I can’t take the ice out of the space.

The refrigerator in the space can function with the help of several solar cells.

Su Weixi thought of the method of making ice with saltpeter. Using this method, he could make ice in front of two people and use ice without restraint. However, he did not have any saltpeter on hand.

While they were daydreaming, the five of them actually finished eating two large watermelons.

Most of them went into the stomach of the big eater Shi Tou, and the watermelon rind was not thrown away either. Instead, Su's father took it to feed the cows and horses at home.

Dad Su was very generous. He thought that there were so many watermelons in the field that his family could not eat them all, and it was not convenient to transport them out to sell at the moment. In addition to the ones frozen in the water tank, he also cut a few watermelons for the cows and horses to eat.

Xiaobai and Xiaohuihui are carnivores, and it is not known whether they can eat it. Unable to resist their eager eyes, Su Ma cut a small piece for them to taste.

Shitou felt very sad when he saw this. This winter melon was a tribute in the capital, but in the Su family, the leftovers could be used to feed the cows.

Tsk tsk tsk, if those high-ranking officials in the capital knew about this, they would probably be pissed to death.
