Chapter 137 What a coincidence to come back
Soon it was lunch time, and everyone gathered in the cafeteria.
Xiao Yijing had informed them before that they picked watermelons from the mountain!
Others showed off the deliciousness of these melons in the group, successfully making the elderly look forward to it.
However, they were all working and weeding at that time, so they could only endure it, and came back to eat melons at noon.
Looking back, everyone couldn't help being surprised.
"This watermelon is so big!"
"It looks delicious!"
An old man who knew how to tell the ripeness of a watermelon stepped forward and patted it, with a happy expression on his face, "It must be ripe!"
"That's for sure, this was chosen by Ah Jing!"
"The environment here is really good, these watermelons can grow!"
"What breed is this?"
"I don't know, it looks like Qilin melon, but I'm not sure."
"Who knows, it must be delicious anyway!"
Everyone gathered around these four melons to discuss.
These four melons don't look small. Fang Huai and Zhou Zhe weighed them before. The smallest one was twelve catties, and the largest one was eighteen catties!
Four watermelons add up to fifty catties.
Even with Xiao Yijing and the others who have already eaten, these are enough for everyone to share.
After all, the elderly have weak stomachs and cannot eat too much. It is good for one person to eat more than half a catty.
If you eat too much in one meal, you may have diarrhea. After all, the watermelon is a bit cold.
"Come on, open soon!" Everyone booed: "I want to eat melon!"
It was too late to eat, so everyone booed and cut melons.
Fang Huai and Zhou Zhe were also ready, and they took the cleaned knife and started cutting the watermelon.
Different from the morning, when their knives landed on the watermelon rind, with a little effort, they heard a snap, and the watermelon immediately split open.
There was a scent of watermelon in the air, which was very attractive.
"Wow! This smells so good!"
"This is what watermelon tastes like!"
"It must be very familiar!"
"This sounds good!"
"Absolutely cooked!"
"This skin must be very thin!"
Everyone started discussing.
Soon, everyone could clearly see how the watermelon opened, and the red color made everyone cheer.
"Oh, I'm going! This melon is too good, and the skin is too thin!"
"What a beautiful red color! Definitely ripe!"
"This looks sweet!"
The sweetness of watermelon in the air is more intense, and everyone's saliva is about to come out.
Fang Huai and Zhou Zhe moved quickly, and they cut the watermelon into small pieces of similar weight.
"Come on, eat melons!" Xiao Yijing greeted everyone, "Eat it! If you can't eat enough, let's continue picking it tomorrow!"
"Good! Thank you, Jing!"
"Ouch, this melon is absolutely delicious!"
Everyone came forward one by one, and each took a piece of melon.
"I haven't eaten it yet, it feels sweet!"
"I think it's so sweet too!"
Everyone was eating melons while talking.
After eating it, everyone exclaimed, "Oh, this melon is really super sweet!"
"Wow, it's delicious!"
"This taste is the same as what I ate when I was a child!" Some elderly people even had tears in their eyes.
The old man next to him laughed, "You are too funny, why cry?"
"I remember when I was a child!" The old man gave his companion a white look, "You don't know, the watermelon in our family was very delicious at that time! But the situation was not good before, we could only eat a small piece a year at most! It was very good eat!"
He sighed, "It's a pity that when we grow up, the melons in our place are eliminated because of their small size and low yield. When new melon seeds are replaced, the taste of the melons grown later will be different. I haven't tasted that kind of taste in years..."
The exclamation of the old man successfully attracted the attention of others.
"Yes, the melons I ate when I was a child were delicious! But when I grow up and have money, the melons I buy are not delicious!"
"You probably ate too little food when you were young, so you feel that something delicious is very delicious!" Liang Shenyu said while eating melons: "When you grow up and have money, you will eat more things, and you will feel better." It's the same."
Many people's so-called "childhood taste" is actually because they were too poor at the beginning, so a little bit of deliciousness will be magnified.
But the old people disagree with this statement.
"It's not like what you said, this melon is very delicious, not worse than the one I had when I was a child!"
"That's right! This melon tastes like the one I ate when I was a child!"
"You young people, how did you know that we used to..."
Hearing that the topic touched on "young people" and "before", Liang Shenyu's face darkened, and then he quickly withdrew.
When old people start talking about ancient times, then run away, because they won't listen to young people.
After Liang Shenyu ran away, the elders continued to discuss in full swing.
But no matter what they say, the main idea is the same—this watermelon is really delicious!
Xiao Yijing didn't interrupt their memory of bitterness and sweetness, she held the watermelon to the side and ate it slowly, Lin Zhitong looked at her grandparents, and also decisively held the watermelon and followed Xiao Yijing to the side.
While eating, Xu Liheng walked in from the door.
"Yo, what to eat?"
Xu Liheng sniffed, and immediately smelled the smell of watermelon, "Eating watermelon! I just caught up!"
Xu Liheng went home these two days, not at the villa.
Xu Liheng wasn't too polite. He washed his hands and came over. He grabbed a piece of watermelon and bit into it. He was shocked, "I'll go! It's so delicious! Where did you buy it?"
"I didn't buy it, Ah Jing planted it!" Someone shouted.
Although Xiao Yijing said that no one knew who planted these watermelons on the mountain, but she watered these watermelons, so she planted them!
"A Jing planted it?" Xu Liheng was extremely surprised, "How long has it been since I went back, and A Jing planted the watermelon?"
Xiao Yijing smiled at him, but didn't speak.
She doesn't need to say anything, other people have already explained the matter clearly.
Knowing that the watermelon appeared on the mountain, and then Xiao Yijing watered it, Xu Liheng was also a little surprised.
But soon he calmed down.
After all, he has seen this kind of thing a lot, and he is used to it.
Although it is a wild watermelon on the mountain, with Xiao Yijing's watering, the watermelon grown is really delicious!
Xiao Yijing really has some skills!
"This watermelon is so delicious!" Xu Liheng didn't have time to worry about other things, he ate the watermelon with a happy face.
Fortunately, during the two days he went back, he brought some vegetables back from the villa, otherwise, he might not even be able to eat!
Being reared in the villa, after going back, it was really hard!
Fortunately, he came back today, otherwise, he would have missed the watermelon.
After eating the watermelon, he didn't know that the kitchen had soaked soybeans to make tofu. The soybeans picked before have been dried and ready to eat.
Hey, what a coincidence that he's back!
Xu Liheng finished eating the watermelon happily, and found that there was a young girl here.
Oh, he knew it.
