Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband

Chapter 460 Big Watermelon

Liang Zhaokang has always been a cautious person. Even if he plays with those playboys, he only wants to contact a few families. In addition to marriage, the royal family also wants to have some interactions with these families.

Originally, Liang Zhaokang deliberately approached Lan Jiu and the others, so their parents would naturally follow them and stand on the side of the Liang family.

At that time, their father was incompetent, so they, the brothers, had to make plans and keep the country.

After playing with these people for a long time, Liang Zhaokang became more sincere. As long as it was not a big deal, he would protect them.

This time when he came to Yunzhu Village, he only brought these few people he trusted.

They were also asked to participate in the affairs of the salt lake, and they will have a lot of money when the time comes.

After reporting the situation here to the emperor, he continued to work in the fields.

The weather was very hot. While Qin Yan was taking his people to work in the fields, the watermelons planted in the fields were ripe.

Shen Nuo asked Grandma Zhang to pick watermelons and bring them down the mountain. All the watermelons were planted on the dry land halfway up the slope.

He had also gone to see it with A Yan, so he should be familiar with it by now. Thinking of this, Shen Nuo felt happy.

If we can grow good watermelons, it would be a good thing in Liang State.

The seeds of this watermelon were developed by a great biologist on Blue Star, and Shen Nuo is very confident about it.

Sure enough, Grandma Zhang came down the mountain carrying several large watermelons.

Shen Nuo simply put ice cubes and water in a large basin and put the watermelon in to freeze it.

"This watermelon is too big. I saw many more in the field, and some are even bigger."

Grandma Zhang's voice was filled with excitement, and she wished she could take down all the big watermelons to show Shen Nuo.

Shen Nuo naturally saw it, but he checked it on the system panel.

Nod:

"This is our first time growing watermelons. We will definitely be able to grow better ones in the future."

When he felt the watermelon had cooled down, Shen Nuo took it out.

The watermelon was bigger than a basketball. Shen Nuo cut it open with a long knife himself. The flesh inside was bright red, and there were only a few white watermelon seeds inside.

Grandma Zhang was also surprised.

"This, this ordinary watermelon has black seeds, but I didn't expect this one to have no seeds at all."

Shen Nuo answered him.

“This watermelon has good seeds.”

Shen Nuo was in a very good mood as he looked at the big watermelon with thin skin and no seeds.

Quickly cut the watermelon, put it on a plate, and take out a few bamboo skewers.

Sign a piece for yourself and put it in your mouth. The icy cold watermelon is full of juice in one bite, and it is sweet and thirst-quenching.

"It tastes really good, Grandma Zhang, you should try it too."

"This, I dare not."

Grandma Zhang didn't dare to eat the same thing as Shen Nuo.

Shen Nuo was helpless. Ever since the last incident of a servant bullying his master, Qin Yan had been strict with the servants in the house.

Although they were very efficient in their work, they dared not have even the slightest disrespectful thought.

Shen Nuo had no choice but to give the remaining watermelon to him.

"Then Grandma Zhang will cut up these watermelons and take them to the fields to share with them later."

"When the time comes, you have to eat too, or I'll be angry."

He dared not disobey Shen Nuo's order, and Grandma Zhang was moved.

In the past, he was always ordered to do bad things in the deep mansion, but in the Qin mansion, this had never happened. Instead, the master was simple-minded.

Every time I pretend to have a stern face and let him eat and use the best things, how could he not be loyal?

"Yes, thank you, my Lord."

When cutting the watermelons, Shen Nuo also helped. After all the busy work, Grandma Zhang was only responsible for delivering the watermelons to the fields.

He also ate some with Zhang Hua and the others. No one had ever seen such a watermelon before.

Even Liang Zhaokang had never tasted it. It tasted much sweeter than the ones offered to the emperor every year, and it was seedless.

"Brother Yan, are you really the ones who grew this?"

Ever since they heard Lin Ping and the others calling Qin Yan "Brother Yan", Liang Zhaokang and the others also started calling him that.

Qin Yan refused at first, but if they didn't call him Brother Yan, they would call him General, so he had no choice but to agree.

And when they called Shen Nuo, they all followed suit and called him brother-in-law, without any embarrassment at all.

Qin Yan took a bite of the cool watermelon, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Of course, these are seeds that our Nuonuo got by accident. You know, the journey of escaping from famine was difficult, and these were obtained by our Nuonuo with great effort."

This was half true and half false, and the others could not tell what it meant. After hearing that the seeds were obtained through risking their lives, they all looked in admiration and fear.

"Then we are really blessed by my brother-in-law. I didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious food."

"Brother Yan, can I send this watermelon to my emperor... my brother?"

Ever since Liang Zhaokang became familiar with them, his unruly nature began to show.

Qin Yan ate another piece of watermelon:

"Go back and ask my husband. He's the one who makes the decisions in our family."

Liang Zhaokang laughed immediately. If he told Shen Nuo about this, Shen Nuo would definitely agree.

Although Shen Nuo looks cold on the outside, he is actually the most soft-hearted person. As long as it is not a big deal, he will agree.

Sure enough, when Liang Zhaokang went back to eat at noon, he asked if it could be sent to the capital.

Shen Nuo said directly:

"You can also buy seeds from me and plant them. I also have a kind of watermelon with black seeds, but it has very few seeds, so it's sweeter when grown, and it's not picky about the soil."

In other words, it can be grown anywhere.

Everyone at the dinner table's eyes lit up. If only they could grow this and sell it...

"But let me make it clear first, the price of a watermelon in Liang country shall not exceed two taels of silver."

Shen Nuo hates things controlled by capital the most. If there are no regulations, others will grow them and sell them at high prices, or for some interests, they will simply increase the value of things because they are rare, and what will happen if the watermelon seeds are destroyed?

"This yield is high, watermelon must be popularized among the people, otherwise I won't give it to you."

There was no emotion in Shen Nuo's voice, but Liang Zhaokang and others could hear an unquestionable feeling.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone bring it back for my brother to try. If it can really be grown, I guarantee that within three years, watermelons will be available in all places."

The watermelons they had eaten before all had thick skins, and the flesh was only a light pink. Most importantly, they had a lot of seeds and were not sweet.

But the watermelons grown by Shen Nuo are completely flawless. They are simply the watermelons of their dreams.

Seeing that they were all staring at the watermelon, Shen Nuo changed the subject.

"Haven't you seen that I have a lot of crops planted on my back hill?"

These people really don't know how to observe at all, and they still want him, the Fox King, to tell them.

"There are many more, but we don't know them."

Seeing that they really didn't seem to feel anything, Shen Nuo stopped talking and waited for them to find him naturally after they found out.
