She took a bite of the cantaloupe she grew and chewed it slowly.
It's a little sweeter than she expected, not too sweet, and the taste is not what she likes!
It's still the same kind of melon that Qiao's has eaten in my memory, which is neither crispy nor noodle-y.
Qiao Lan's favorite fruit is cantaloupe. When the cantaloupe is crispy, she bites into it, and it is extremely crispy every bite. Not to mention the cantaloupe on the noodles, which is soft and dense, as smooth as a mango, and is extremely sweet in the mouth!
Qiao Lan felt that the cantaloupe she was eating now tasted like plastic foam, but it was far less chewy than plastic foam.
In order to eat melons in the past, Qiao Lan often asked her friends to bring them to her from the Urumqi market!
Now I'm afraid...
It’s not that difficult either!
It takes at least five or six years to cultivate a new variety. If it is longer, the time will be infinite and it will require the struggle of several generations.
Fortunately, Qiao Lan has a golden finger!
Isn't it just melons? As long as she lives long enough, one day she will be able to grow the melons she likes.
Thinking of this, Qiao Lan finished the cantaloupe on the plate in two bites, taking notes with pain and joy!

The first-season melons grown in the Duan family's land were well received by everyone in the old house.
The cantaloupe is inherently sweet, and after being chilled for a while at the bottom of the well, it tastes cool and fragrant. If I had to pick a fault, it would be that there were too few melons, which was not enough to eat!
Qiao Lan picked only four melons. No matter how carefully Wang cut them into small pieces, counting the people in the front and back yards, each person would have lost two pieces.
Even Duan Yuxing, who usually doesn't pay much attention to food and drink, couldn't help but ask, "Mom, are there any more melons?"
As soon as Duan Yuxing finished speaking, the children in the courtyard all looked at Mr. Wang, their eyes full of longing.
I hope the aunt will bring out another pot of melon like before.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "It's gone in the kitchen."
The children's hopes were disappointed, and each one of them began to droop their little heads.
Mrs. Wang: "There are still a lot of them in the ground! Grandma said it will be sweeter after a few more days, so don't worry."
When they heard this, the children immediately cheered and cheered, "It's great to have melons!"
Except for tasting some of the pulp when cutting the sweet melon, Wang only tasted a piece of the other cut pieces. Even a small piece was enough to make people unforgettable.

The Duan family is the only family in the village that grows melons, and the green melons adorning the vines have attracted the attention of many people in the village.
Someone asked out of curiosity and was envious after learning that it was an edible melon.
The adults did not dare to pick melons because of their dignity and the authority of the Duan family, but the daring children immediately started thinking about it.
Seeing no one around, he ran into the field and picked several melons, even trampling on the melon seedlings.
Qiao Lan was just about to go to the melon field to take a look when she heard a strong beep from the system, saying that the melon vines were damaged!
Qiao Lan hurriedly went to the field to take a look and saw several broken melon vines, as well as a series of obvious footprints and freshly picked melon vines.
Qiao Lan opened the system map and took a look!
Every melon in the field is registered and recorded by the system, and the yield and quality are calculated. It belongs to Qiao Lan's private property.
A growing melon in the field is a healthy green icon, and a stolen melon has a red flashing icon, as if the melon itself is calling for help and calling the police.
Qiao Lan immediately went to the icon and caught two thin black boys hiding behind someone else's house.
At this moment, the two children were holding the dirty things and discussing how to eat this melon.
"Should this melon be stewed? Or should it be eaten directly?"
"How about we take a bite first and see what it tastes like?"
"good!"
When the two children were holding the cantaloupe and thinking about where to eat it, Qiao Lan's voice came from behind them, "Are my melons delicious?"
When the two children saw the person clearly, they were frightened and trembled. They dropped the melon and ran away.
Three ungrown cantaloupe melons of different sizes were left and smashed on the ground, leaving a big gaping hole.
Qiao Lan stepped forward to pick up the small cantaloupe and felt a little regretful.
The system that had been silent for a long time without releasing tasks suddenly jumped out.
[What should I do if the melon fields I have worked so hard to cultivate are threatened?
Protecting the melon fields is inevitable!
Random mission is now released: Cantaloupe Defense Battle!
The host please protect every cantaloupe in the melon field and ensure that the cantaloupe is picked only when it is mature. Every melon is the future of the melon field!
Mission time: before all the melons grow up!
Mission reward: 30 points, 10 random melon seeds!
Cantaloupe is also related to agricultural power! Please cheer up, host!]
Qiao Lan is in a good mood! The melon seeds are new melon seeds!
Qiao Lan's difficulty now is that she can't buy other melon seeds even if she has money!
Although ten seeds are a bit stingy, new melon seeds can be hybridized to produce new melons, and she might even be able to grow the melon she wants!
It is this task of ensuring that every melon in the field grows healthily that is a bit outrageous.
Qiao Lan felt that growing melons was not easy, so she naturally had no intention of letting these naughty children go. But even if she taught them a lesson, there would still be other naughty children who would miss the melons in her field!
This melon-stealing problem needs to be eradicated!
Qiao Lan took these broken cucumbers to Duan Kunshan's house.
As the leader of a village, you can accomplish a lot of things!
Duan Kunshan learned from Qiao Lan the whole incident and Qiao Lan's personal demands.
Even though Duan Kunshan had never tasted cantaloupe, he had heard people say how valuable this melon was and was amazed that this well-dressed old lady liked to grow melons in the fields.
Immediately following Qiao Lan's description, she went to the village to find the two children and the elders, and took people to the Duan family's yard to admit their mistake.
"Old madam, the child is ignorant, so I brought it to you to apologize!" A farmer with a sad face led his two children forward and said.
Behind him were several older middle-aged men and women, looking at Qiao Lan with faces full of flattery.
As soon as the two children entered the yard, they fell to their knees on the ground, which made Qiao Lan instinctively frown!
It's one thing for her to teach these two naughty children a lesson, but it's another thing entirely for them to kneel down for her!
"Get up! What are you doing? You haven't asked yet?" Qiao Lan said.
The two naughty children realized that they had done something wrong. They lowered their heads so much that they knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
"Pick up the child and talk! I won't be able to ask any more questions!" Qiao Lan said again.
The farmer started to pick up his two children.
"I watched you throw this melon away. Although the witnesses and physical evidence are there, it doesn't mean that you are the ones who picked the melon. Let me ask first, did you pick this melon?" Qiao Lan asked.
The two children lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
"You must be brave and take responsibility. If you did it, just say it and I will ask you to pay for it. It was not you who did it, but someone else picked it for you. Just tell the person's name. If you don't say a word
, I will treat you as melon thieves and send them to the county government office!" Qiao Lan threatened.
The two children shivered in shock, "Yes... yes, I picked it. I have never seen this thing before, so I just wanted to secretly pick a melon and go back to try it."
"I picked it too..."
The words of the two children were filled with tears.
