Chapter 45 Watermelon Seeds

Author: That sour sugar

Huang Jian understood Chen Fan's expression and greeted Chen Fan: "Miss Chen, I'm lucky to know, my name is Huang Jian." Then he said to Huai Shan: "Miss Liu, I'm lucky to know. When I passed by Shengping County that day

,Miss Chen saw our carriage. She saw me riding a horse, but the young master was in the car, but she didn't see it. When the young master went to see the ground that day, I didn't go with me, so we didn't know each other

Have seen it."

Huaishan nodded: "Good luck."

Zhang Ci looked at Chen Fan: "Girl, let's take a look first. There are many seeds inside, maybe there are what the girl needs." He said that and walked out again.

Chen Fan thanked him and walked over.

The innermost corners are filled with seeds and seasonings, and they are packed in cloth bags, open and open. The small amount is placed on the shelves, and the large bags filled with dozens of kilograms are placed on the ground. This is the deepest inside room.

In a corner, those things seem to be less popular, and many of them are gray.

She is very familiar with the seasonings. She bought Chinese and Western seasonings for cooking and baking, and occupied two drawers in the kitchen. She looked at the seasonings in front of her, but she didn't see any unexpected things, which were all familiar to her. Pepper is native.

The native pepper and garlic were introduced since the Western Han Dynasty. These are all neglected here, as if they were not widely used in the Daxiang Dynasty. Looking back on the dishes she ate at the Liu family these days, there were ginger and onion, but no

I saw the garlic cloves and didn’t taste the pepper.

There are watermelon seeds, loofah seeds, pumpkin seeds, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc.; there are peanuts and sesame seeds, grape seeds and pomegranate seeds, spinach, radish, eggplant, broad beans, peas, red beans, lentils and mung beans... There are still quite a variety of varieties.

The seasonings are probably all used as seeds and are placed in this piece.

What else did she see? Cotton seeds?

It is not uncommon to have cotton seeds. Cotton was introduced to China as early as the Western Han Dynasty. However, the yellow areas in the Yangtze River Basin were planted very little, and it was not until the end of the Song and early Yuan Dynasties that it began to be widely promoted and planted. When she was a child, she felt that she saw Huang Daopo’s deeds.

It’s strange. Isn’t it that Hainan was very remote and not very developed before? Why is the cotton textile industry of the Li people in Hainan very developed and the technology is very advanced? Later, I learned about the history of cotton promotion and development and realized it.

Chen Fan grabbed five or six cloth bags with both hands and walked to the counter.

The shopkeeper saw these cloth bags and his eyes were lit up and he kept saying, "Miss has a good vision."

Chen Fan looked at him, but didn't say anything, turned around and continued to move the goods. Huaishan and the others followed her to move all the seeds in the corner to the counter.

Dozens of customers in the shop surrounded and looked at the seeds. Chen Fan's mind suddenly appeared. Zhang Qian was holding the Western Region seeds for the ministers in the hall, and the court officials at that time felt very strange.

Some people are more interested in beans: "Don't these red beans, mung beans and lentils are sold in the vegetable market, and there are also shopkeepers' here?"

"Oh, we just want to make the variety in the shop more complete." The shopkeeper said.

"Why didn't I notice so many seeds before?" One person found it strange.

"I've looked at it for a few times, but I'm not interested, so I won't look at it."

"I saw it the year before yesterday. At that time, they were still on the middle shelves. It was probably unpopular, so they moved in and didn't know when they moved to the corner."

"No wonder I didn't know, I've never been to the innermost row."

"All these things have been left for a long time, right? Is they broken? Girl, can you plant them?"

"I know how to plant it." Chen Fan replied to them.

The shopkeeper said: "Don't talk nonsense. These seeds are good. It's not long before, and things will always be a little dusty when they are kept. If you don't understand this kind of seeds, this girl is aware of the goods."

The crowd sighed, which caused a large group of people outside to lean over here and watch the fun around the shop door. Some people even ran in and blocked the little bit in front of the counter.

"These seeds are all good. The seeds in the past can be sold, but you just don't pay attention." The shopkeeper emphasized again.

One of them pointed to the peppercorn and said, "I have touched that thing with my tongue, and it is numb and astringent. I will never see that thing again."

"Who asked your family to cook and put things indiscriminately?" a man laughed.

"I'm having a meal elsewhere, and I don't put this at home."

"Our family doesn't put this one." "Is anyone who put this one?" "No, no." "Where did I buy this? No one wants it."

"Are there any watermelon seeds? This watermelon is a precious and not easy to buy." One of the newly surrounded people asked. The shopkeeper pointed to the watermelon seeds. Everyone said in a lingering manner, "It turns out that it is."

Watermelon seeds look like this” or something like that.

"I heard that the watermelon seeds were blowing from the strong wind." The man said mysteriously. Many people immediately became interested and asked what was going on.

"You all know that tornadoes often occur in some places. When the wind blows, big trees can be uprooted and the tiles on the roof can be rolled clean. Once, a strong wind blows, and a lot of seeds fell in one place, and not long afterwards.

The seedlings emerged. Some people disliked the seedlings and pulled them out; some people liked them very much, saying that since God has sent them, just plant them. Later, the seedlings bear big round fruits.

There are patterns on it. Everyone wants to know what the fruit tastes, but someone has made that big fruit

The punch was pounded open, and the flesh inside was red and there was a lot of juicy water. Everyone didn't dare to eat it at the beginning, and they had never eaten anything before, so they should be more cautious." The man said vividly, "A second-rate man is here."

As soon as I saw that thing, I snatched it up. While eating it, I said it was delicious, too sweet and so sweet. I ate it all over the floor with juice. After a night, what happened to that second-rate guy

There wasn't one. Everyone believed that the thing was delicious and rushed to buy it. Those who planted it became rich at that time."

There was a "wow" in the crowd. Someone shouted, "You are too exaggerating. Why do you get rich by selling a few watermelons?"

"This brother doesn't know anything." The man danced, "The man planted a lot of land. He picked up all the saplings that were pulled out by others. He was still laughed at that time."

"Why is it called watermelon?"

"The people in that place call the fruit melon, and they say that the seeds of the melon were scraped from the west, so they are called watermelon."

The crowd burst into laughter, and Chen Fan couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't find such a thing before. Today I will buy some, so I can eat that expensive thing." Someone was moved.

"Everyone says that something is expensive and it must be difficult to grow." Someone poured cold water on him.

"No matter whether it is easy to plant or not? Isn't it just a handful of seeds? If it is planted well, it will be lucky. If it cannot be planted, it will not lose much. The shopkeeper weighs me a pound."

The shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, but these melon seeds are a bit expensive, fifty cents per pound, are you sure you want to buy them?"

"Wow—" Everyone's voice was very loud and long.

One of them smacked his lips: "My good dear, I can buy five dou of rice."

"Everyone says it is a precious thing, so seeds are naturally expensive."

"Buy!" The sound was loud and straightforward.
