Yan said, "My husband was busy and confused. He had just planted potatoes at that time, and now he has been eating potatoes for more than ten days. Husband, please see if the melon is ripe. Without your permission, we would not dare to move."

The first time I planted it, the gardener didn’t have that much experience, and it was still pretty good overall. There were almost 3,000 fruits.

Lu Bu picked up a watermelon and knocked it. The sound was almost crisp and crisp.

The main purpose of harvesting watermelons is to count the time and color. It is impossible to knock them one by one in large quantities.

Lu Bu called the gardener who managed the melon field and asked, "How many days have this melon been since it was fruit-bearing? Have you recorded it?"

The gardener was illiterate, but Lu Bu arranged for him to record, so he definitely had to do it.

"The villain has recorded it." The gardener said, pulling out a branch from next to the watermelon, which was densely scratched and wired.

"The villain draws a line every day. There are too many melons, and I don't do it every one, but there are many bees in the days when the flowering is over, and I remember clearly." The gardener counted a few branches, and the most was thirty-three days, and the few were 27 or 28 days.

The black beauty watermelon ripens in thirty days, but it was almost done for twenty-seven or eight days.

Lu Bu chose a few watermelons that were crisp and loud, moved them to the stone table in the garden, pulled out the short knife around his waist and wanted to cut the melon.

Mrs. Yan said, "Husband, let's take a kitchen knife to cut it later."

"Oh, hehe, okay."

Lu Bu is not a general of Taiping. He has fought countless wars and has seen blood on his short sword. People in the army feel nothing, but ordinary people are still very taboo about this.

Yan arranged for the maid to get a kitchen knife from the kitchen and wash it with the well water. Then he started cutting a watermelon. The flesh inside was bright red and very beautiful.

"Oh, it looks so good." Yan said in surprise.

"It's very good, come and try it together." Lu Bu cut the watermelon into small pieces with a kitchen knife and distributed it to his family.

Yan, Cao, Diao Chan, Lu Ling and the guard captain on duty.

Lu Bu waved his hand and called the three gardeners responsible for planting black beauties.

"You can eat these two watermelons," said Lu Bu.

The gardener was very happy that this was cultivated by himself, but they didn't dare to eat it if the general said nothing.

"Thank you, General." The three of them hid in the corner and ate it.

The two ladies stopped after eating a small piece.

Only Diao Chan and Lu Ling are still eating.

Lu Bu asked: "Why don't you eat the two ladies?"

Yan said: "Watermelon is cold in nature, so I dare not eat too much."

Only then did Lu Bu realize that these two ladies were happy. They were very delicate in the early stages of pregnancy and definitely did not dare to eat too much.

Lu Bu ordered his personal soldiers to cut a few of them, and everyone from the maid to the guards in the mansion was considered a taste of them.

The gardeners were also arranged to pick a cart of horse-drawn carriages and cover them with tarpaulins.

It was rare for Lu Bu to come back, and Yan arranged for the kitchen to cook.

Yan invited Lu Bu to the room and said, "Husband, I don't know if I have something to say."

"We have been married for more than ten years, so what's the wife said?"

Yan said: "I shouldn't have been concerned about government affairs, but my husband has recently built a large-scale construction project, and it is a bit hasty to collect 500,000 people to build rivers as soon as the wheat collection is approaching.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "It was a bit hasty. He just wanted to consume so many potatoes at that time."

"My husband is very good at serving the people, but his pace is getting bigger. Although potatoes are very good, they can't stand eating them every day, so who can bear it? Over time, the people will inevitably complain. The husband still changes the food. Just one meal of potatoes a day." Yan said.

Lu Bu said: "It's indeed a problem. Now, except for drinking porridge in the morning, the other two meals are cooked potatoes and pickles, so let's change it. Change the dinner to sorghum porridge."

Mrs. Yan said: "This is just a proposal from me, and it may not be correct."

"Well, I'll consider it. I'll have to wait a while before I can go out for a trip."

Lu Bu rode a horse, and his personal soldiers drove the carriage behind him to Chen Gong Mansion not far away.

Chen Gong's family is also quite large. Unlike Lu Bu, Chen Gong has two wives, but has six or seven children.

"Is the office at home?" Lu Bu asked.

The guard said, "The general will report immediately."

After a while, Chen Gong trotted out.

Chen Gong said: "Lord, I'm having a meal. This time I ran, my stomach hurts. I'll check the post tonight."

Lu Bu said: "I kindly sent you something, and said I'll check the post and leave."

Chen Gong hurriedly said, "Lord, don't leave, lord, don't leave. I'll talk."

Lu Bu arranged his personal soldiers and said, "Discard ten black beauties for the military advisor."

Chen Gong was startled and said, "Forget it, I'm in my thirties, so where can I consume ten black beauties?"

"It's the black beauty, watermelon, where do you want to go?"

Chen Gong brought Lu Bu to the guest room. Although it was Chen Gong's family, the etiquette should not be chaotic, and it was still Lu Bu's attendant.

Lu Bu said: "I will plant some delicious food in the backyard, but I can't enjoy it alone. I will try it on the branch office."

Chen Gong was surprised. He had never seen such a beautiful watermelon before. It was so sweet when he cut it open and took a bite.

"It's delicious, delicious, really delicious." Chen Gong said.

"It's delicious, eat more if you taste delicious."

After chatting for a while, Lu Bu said, "I've disturbed the office for dinner, and I'll say goodbye."

Chen Gong kept sending Lu Bu to the street before turning around and coming back.

Mrs. Chen Gong said: "The character of Wen Hou has changed so much. I didn't remember that there were such a polite and polite person before."

Chen Gong sighed and said, "Download the river and clear the dredging, and recruit 500,000 civilians at once. The lord is worried. He is making me take more attention."

Lu Bu came out and did not go home, but rushed to Zhang Liao's mansion.

Zang Ba is on duty tonight, and Zhang Liao is at home.

Zhang Liao was quite surprised by Lu Bu's visit. You should know that Lu Bu is always in the military camp and acts vigorously and decisively.

"Lord, why are you here?" Zhang Liao greeted him.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "I'm just here to visit me and send Wen Yuan some watermelons to try."

Lu Bu lifted the tarpaulin on the carriage, which was covered with about ten black melons.

"This watermelon is strange, why is the skin black?"

"Or why are you called Black Beauty?"

The Zhang Liao family is relatively simple, with more than a dozen houses in two places like this, with a wife and two children, and no maid. There is only a butler brought from my hometown.

Zhang Liao arranged for someone to take the watermelon home, wash and slice it, and bring it up on a tray.

Take a bite and the flesh is crispy and sweet, delicious.

"My lord, this melon is so sweet." Zhang Liao said happily.

After the war, there was a shortage of supplies and the generals snatched them from the soldiers, but there was no fruit to eat in daily life.

"Of course, I specially planted some melons for my brothers in the backyard this year. The number is not large and I can't take it to the military camp. I can share it in private." Lu Bu said.

Zhang Liao understood very well what Lu Bu meant. If these things were taken to the military camp, then they would be complained if they were given to anyone and didn’t give them to anyone. It would be different if they were given to them in private. They did not belong to the baggage, and they would give them to whom they loved.
