Chapter 314: Well-Water Chilled Watermelon

~8 min read 1,420 words

【Good heavens, this melon looks exceptionally good, and it's only 20 a jin!】

【My tears of heartache are flowing from my mouth...】

【Wait! Is it me who's not right, or are you guys too rich? Is a 20-a-jin watermelon cheap?】

【The most expensive small melon in our boutique fruit shop is only 11.8 a jin.】

【You also said it, fruits in boutique shops are already close to 12 yuan.】

【Things in the host's house are so delicious, and it's only 8 yuan more expensive, I actually feel a bit moved.】

【To tell you the truth, I'm also a bit moved, I must have been CPU'd by the host.】

The livestream was completely forgotten.

Everyone wandered in the melon field like marmots, and Seventh Great-Uncle, as a melon-picking expert, walked back and forth in the full melon field with his hands behind his back, occasionally letting out an exclamation:

"This melon is ripe!"

"This melon grew so round!"

"Look at this one, how emerald the color is!"

The more he said, the more everyone's saliva flowed. Dawang and Dabai had tasted a bite of the residue smashed out, and now they shrank to the edge of the melon field, looking at Song Tan with longing eyes, which was enough to melt one's heart.

Dabai's neck stretched so long; if it weren't for the fact that the cowpea vines and loofah vines on the side were growing densely, its neck would have stretched into the crevices.

Dawang didn't have such a long neck to stretch, but it made that kind of fine and pitiful whining sound from its throat, lifting its front paws alternately, looking at Song Tan pitifully.

Its originally fierce and domineering dog face was now relaxed, looking like a weak and helpless pug—who could resist this?

Song Tan simply walked to the edge of the melon field, casually touched a ripe one, and smashed it with a fist!

Lightly and easily, the melon split into two halves.

The difference was that one half had 80%, and the other half only had 20%.

The 20% went to Dabai.

It let out a "ga-ga" sound, and now it flapped its wings and plunged onto it!

The other portion was placed in front of Dawang, who was looking eagerly, making Dawang also excitedly let out a "woof," and then "crunch crunch" ate without lifting its head.

Dabai sucked its goose beak with a "cha-cha" sound, but the more it ate, the more it felt something was wrong, because the piece of watermelon under the dog's head... seemed to be much bigger than its own!

It raised its head, looked at Dawang with its bean eyes, and then looked at Song Tan—

"Ga!"

Song Tan's expression didn't change: "Don't worry, although your portion is a bit small, your size is also small, right?"

"Besides, aren't you not picky? There's still melon skin for you to eat later. After Dawang eats the pulp, the melon skin is also refreshing and reduces internal heat, you can eat it slowly."

"Ga!"

Dabai was a bit unhappy.

Melon pulp and melon skin, any living thing knew which tasted better.

Besides, who said Dawang was big? In its eyes, Dawang was also only a little bit big.

However, it was a partner living with it, so Dabai looked at it twice unwillingly, but finally defaulted.

And Dawang on the side quietly lowered its raised ears, and now continued to eat "crunch crunch," eating more and more cautiously, eating more and more without lifting its head.

Song Tan looked twice, always feeling something was wrong. Looking down, she couldn't help but be happy—

"Dawang, why are you so greedy? You didn't even leave a bit of melon skin for Dabai!"

Indeed, it ate so cleanly, thoroughly, and fastidiously. First eat the red pulp, then eat the white edge, and finally the thin layer of emerald green skin, it was truly amazing that it could gnaw it so transparently and cleanly!

Even so, it still opened its big mouth and swallowed it all with a "crunch crunch." This non-wasteful spirit, still... quite worthy of praise?

The audience in the livestream was already numb.

【What else can I say? People are not as good as dogs, and not even as good as geese.】

【Heh, what does this count as! Host, I can eat cleaner than your dog.】

【If you don't believe it, you can mail one over, and I'll eat it for you to see.】

【Don't collapse, so what if the abacus beads collapse far away? They can't collapse into the host's heart.】

【Good heavens, in order to eat a bite of melon, you guys don't want any dignity as humans! I'm different, I can eat cleaner than that goose!】

And at this moment, Zhang Yanping, who was holding a melon he had carefully selected, passed by the phone stand, and only then remembered, and then looked at the number of viewers—

Whoa, almost 20,000!

【Next, we're eating melon, are you guys still watching? It's not appropriate... We're eating and you're watching...】

He, a dark and sturdy man, made a shy and embarrassed look, and the fans only felt their eyes burning, subconsciously turning their heads away.

However, the next moment, they still had to turn back and use their last bit of energy to type a line—

【Watch!】

【I'm not here for the watermelon, but I just like watching eating livestreams.】

【I'm different, I just want to see if you guys have any new methods and techniques for eating melon? I'll say first, I use my mouth.】

Zhang Yanping: ……

I don't really understand your "sao" (flirty/showy) energy of surfing the internet.

But he just smiled honestly: "That's not appropriate. Your Teacher Qiao Qiao is holding a melon and doesn't have hands to livestream. How about we just end the livestream—"

【To be honest, the source-switching app is really great for catching up on books, download it here:. huanyuanapp, everyone can try it.】

【Wait! When did he ever use his hands to livestream—hey, don't go—】

The livestream was closed.

Zhang Yanping simply picked up the stand and walked down the mountain happily.

……

Walking down in the sun, everyone was a bit restless, Zhang Wangjia hadn't passed the seventh day, and now he put the melon at the door and was about to leave.

Song Tan couldn't stop him no matter what, and in the end, she had no choice but to hug a melon and give it to him.

But Xin Jun wiped the sweat from his head:

"Does the melon need to be put in the refrigerator?"

"No," Song Youde laughed: "You young people don't know how to take care of your bodies; it's only May and you already want to eat chilled ones? Put it in this pool to soak, let the cold water chill it, and it will still be cool and refreshing when you eat it later."

He also imagined his childhood: "If there was a well, hanging the melon in the well, that taste... is even more refreshing than a refrigerator!"

"That's simple!"

Song Tan pointed to the place under the bamboo forest down the slope:

"Isn't there an old well there?"

Although no one had drawn water for a long time, wasn't it just right now?

However, the well mouth was too small, and a large basket couldn't fit.

So she packed a few round watermelons into two baskets of suitable size, tied them with hemp rope, and one person carried them, rushing to the well with flying steps.

Then she soaked the whole basket in deep water and tied the rope to a tree on the side—

Just wait!

……

But... knowing there was melon to eat but not being able to eat it, everyone felt that a day felt like a year!

Fortunately, Song Youde had already quickly arranged tasks for everyone to kill time:

"Qiao Qiao, go call our Secretary Xiao Zhu to eat watermelon."

"Tan Tan, pass the basket to me, your Seventh Great-Uncle said he wants to make stir-fried watermelon skin with green chilies at noon, I'll go pick a few green chilies."

The pointed peppers they used to make sauce were too spicy and not suitable.

Song Tan was stunned: "Watermelon skin still needs to be stir-fried? Then what will the other treasures and the pigs, chickens, and ducks eat?" ===== CHAPTER 315 =====

Song Tan was stunned: "You want to stir-fry watermelon rinds? Then what will the other treasures, plus the pigs, chickens, and ducks eat?"
