253 Not Herself
Qiao Xuan placed the two watermelons in the cold-water bucket, waiting for Shao Dalang and the others to return to have a taste.
Ms. Xu asked Qiao Xuan in a staggering voice. “Fifth Sister-in-law, can I take some seeds to my mother’s home, so they can plant some next year too?”
“Sure!” Qiao Xuan nodded without hesitation. “The black seeds are ripe. You can take back as many as you want.”
Overjoyed, Ms. Xu said, “Thanks so much, Fifth Sister-in-law!”
Ms. Xu felt so happy when her request was granted so easily.
After lunchtime, they surrounded the table and looked at the watermelon with wide eyes. Ms. Fang felt a bit nervous as she cut it.
With a crisp and low sound, the watermelon burst open. The flesh of the melon was bright red, with countless black seeds inside.
This watermelon was brought back from the wild. It was not the excellent variety like the modern times. There were relatively many more seeds.
But the watermelon tasted much fresher too.
“It tastes so good!” Shao Sanlang swallowed down the seeds.
Yang Xiaoni licked her lips, smiling. “Yes, it looks very tasty!”
Ms. Fang threw a look at the couple, who were only out for food.
She cut the watermelon into pieces and picked them up carefully.
Everyone picked up a piece each and the juice filled up their mouths. The flesh was soft and the juice was abundant. The fresh sweetness instantly captured all the perceptions in the mouth.
In an instant, all the cells in the mouth were mobilized, and they couldn’t wait to swallow. Different voices rang in the room.
“I want more!”
“Oh god, it is so tasty!”
“Sweet and juicy, full of flesh!”
“No wonder it is precious. So tasty!”
“Ah, I can eat up the whole thing!”
“…”
They all spoke highly of the fruit and just could not stop.
Even Liu Yan was given a piece. Liu Yan was so startled that she could not help but remember how it tasted after all.
That was watermelon! A precious thing! Second Miss could do everything!
They ate it all up except for the two large slices left to Shao Xiaoqi who was in the mountains.
It tasted great.
Qiao Xuan eventually fell in love with the taste.
Sweet, fresh and drooling!
In the scorching summer, at noon with the sun in the sky, eating watermelon soaked in ice-cold water was so pleasing!
The watermelons had numerous seeds, but it did not hurt.
Qiao Xuan did not want to sell them but there were many of them at home, and they could not finish them alone.
She was not giving this fruit to anyone else. Her father-in-law no longer mentioned giving it to the other sections of the family, though he had that intention. Qiao Xuan ignored him conveniently.
Shen had already made the plan about how to sell the watermelons.
She intended to visit Mingren Tang in a couple of days and talk to Manager Qin about it. Maybe the watermelons and tea leaves could be sold through them.
She herself would never show up to do so.
Otherwise, Officer Qiao and Madame Qiao would get a clue!
