Chapter 338: Double-standard little bastard!
All Shu Xiaoxiao needs to do is boil the food he can eat, coat it with some sauce, and put it in his bowl when it cools down. He can eat it with a spoon or with his hands. After eating, he will wash his hands and face with soap and at most change his clothes. He doesn't cry or make a fuss and is very easy to take care of.
In addition to Shu Xiaoxiao, the Sixth Prince would occasionally put some vegetables into his son's bowl. This kid would only eat the vegetables grown by his junior brother, otherwise he would rather eat meat than touch the vegetables.
Eat more when you have the chance. The vegetables grown by his junior uncle himself are a rare treasure.
So three adults and one child started eating at the table. It had to be said that the food tasted really good. The Sixth Prince and Yun Qinghan had amazing appetites. They ate very quickly, especially Yun Qinghan. His appetite had at least doubled after the trip to the border. So many ingredients were not enough, so another dish was served. The Sixth Prince also enjoyed the meal very much. As brothers, they did not need to worry about any rules and just enjoyed the meal.
Shu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Henghui, who had already finished their meals, each had a glass of juice with a very happy expression. Of course, Shu Xiaoxiao's was iced, while Xiao Henghui's was at room temperature. Xiao Henghui couldn't tell the difference and drank it with great concentration.
Especially after washing, she became a white and tender little bun again, not to mention how adorable she was. The two of them occasionally clinked glasses, and the atmosphere made the Sixth Prince jealous.
He clinked glasses with the brat, and the brat thought he was childish, ha!
Now he no longer thinks his junior uncle is childish, what a double-standard little bastard.
"Oh, by the way, there is also the watermelon I prepared."
"Waiter, bring the cut watermelon up." Shu Xiaoxiao shouted towards the door.
"Okay, don't worry, your Majesty, it will be ready soon!" The waiter went downstairs quickly to prepare the watermelon.
"Uncle, master uncle, watermelon, watermelon!" Little Henghui was very happy when he heard the word watermelon. He knew that this watermelon was delicious, but it was rare and hard to get.
"Junior brother, your watermelon is ripe so quickly?" the Sixth Prince asked in surprise.
This watermelon is different from other grains and vegetables. As long as you put some effort into it, it is easy to grow. It can be gradually promoted and you can eat it freely in a few years.
The watermelon is one of the things that is difficult to grow. My junior brother took out a lot of seeds before, but not many of them could be grown. This watermelon not only has high requirements for soil and temperature, but also needs regular pruning and fertilization. It is also very easy to get infested with insects. Some of them were eaten by insects as soon as they emerged, and some died for unknown reasons as soon as they had just formed fruit.
In short, any problem in any step from seedling raising, transplanting, fertilizing to watering, pruning, and support construction is not acceptable. Those who have taken the seeds to plant either have to ask their junior brothers to solve the problem every now and then, or watch the seedlings wither and die. Not to mention promoting it, they don't even have enough food for themselves.
Watermelon has a sweet and delicious taste, with delicate and smooth flesh and abundant juice. It is very enjoyable to eat and leaves you with an endless aftertaste. Taking a bite of iced watermelon in the hot summer can completely eliminate all the heat in your body. It is especially popular.
The ones that my junior brother planted in the mountain behind the academy are really not enough. Little Henghui can eat half a piece a day, not to mention other adults. The supply really cannot meet the demand.
"Not so fast. I planted these two earlier as an experiment, so they ripened faster. I just came here to welcome my second senior brother. Senior brother, you have tasted watermelon, right? Eat two more pieces later."
Shu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that maybe it was because pesticides were not used in ancient times or what? This watermelon is really difficult to grow. I finally found the most suitable planting time, but it died if I applied the wrong fertilizer. I finally found the right fertilizer, but it was planted with various pests.
Yellowing leaves, broken vines, falling fruits, cracked melons, wilting, etc., as well as rotten and blackened leaves. There is nothing you can't imagine that watermelon will not encounter. The problems it raises every year are different, and it is almost impossible to guard against them. I didn't know there were so many problems to growing watermelons before.
Even though she had ginseng water, she was still troubled by the watermelon seedlings, not to mention other ordinary people who planted them, most of them ended up with nothing.
"That means it's already ripe, little junior brother. I really like it... No, it's your nephew who really likes watermelon. You have to save some more for him!"
He looked at his son who was still laughing foolishly and asked quickly, "Henghui, tell your uncle whether you like to eat watermelon."
Little Henghui shouted obediently: "Yes, Henghui likes watermelon."
The Sixth Prince said quickly, "Brother, did you see that? Your nephew likes them very much. Remember to save a few more for Henghui!"
After saying that, he looked at Shu Xiaoxiao eagerly. It was not that he was useless, but his father was too treacherous. Not many watermelons were planted before, just a little over one acre. As a result, except for the first ones, his father bought them all. He made a party for the emperor and his ministers, but he didn't eat much before they were gone.
So this year he must make reservations in advance, so that he can at least enjoy the meal to his heart's content this year.
"Brother, don't worry. I will definitely keep it for you. I also heard that the crops grown by Sino-Agri are pretty good this year. Maybe we can have watermelon freedom this year."
Speaking of this, who can think of a solution? She can't be the only one growing so many watermelons. When can it be popularized? No one knows if the watermelons grown by others last year will be completely wiped out!
She didn't have many seeds left, she was so close to running out of them! She had to start all over again.
Hearing about Sinongsi, the Sixth Prince was obviously not interested: "Forget about relying on Sinongsi. Even if they grow something, it won't be as delicious as what you grow. Just leave a few more for my brother. I don't want the ones from Sinongsi."
Shu Xiaoxiao twitched the corners of her mouth. Nonsense, it would be strange if the watermelon grown with her ginseng water didn’t taste good.
"Second brother, don't worry, you will also have a share of watermelon. When they are ripe, I will wait for the watermelon at home!" Shu Xiaoxiao quickly assured her senior brother who was sitting beside her with a confused look on his face.
Yun Qinghan smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Junior Brother."
Just by looking at the performance of the eldest brother and the nephew, he knew that this watermelon must be a rare delicacy. He was really a little curious.
"We are brothers, it doesn't matter if it's a big deal or not, just wait for the big brother and the second brother to eat."
In addition to the seeds she gave away this year, she also planted a lot, which is definitely enough to eat.
Teng Qisheng sent Jiang Wanwu to a house outside the mansion. After some comfort, he naturally stayed. The two of them talked to each other from the bottom of their hearts. Although they had held the last line of defense, they had done almost everything they should and should not have done.
The servants serving in the house all blushed, and after listening to a few words, they dared not eavesdrop anymore, because they were really getting goosebumps all over their bodies!
But the relationship between the two seemed to be getting better. They were so inseparable, their eyes were full of affection, and the servants didn't dare to raise their heads. He hasn't married yet, so he won't get stye. And this girl who came from nowhere has bewitched the young master. It's amazing. He should be careful.
