[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the First Emperor blew his beard and glared in anger, and was rewarded with a watermelon!]

In order to know in advance what the cold-resistant seeds looked like, Ying Zheng kept scolding them.

The young lady ran away, but my mother was here, so this old guy didn't dare to do anything!

So as soon as the front foot stepped out of the gate of Yuxiu Palace, the sound of the back foot system rang in my mind.

Hmm! It’s better to earn rewards with old guy Ying Zheng.

The cotton seeds haven’t waited for application yet, the second one has come again!

How wonderful is it to eat an ice-cold watermelon on a hot summer day?

"Ask Mingde to get more ice when we get back!"

Thinking of this, the smile on Xiao Zhengtai's face became even wider, and his steps became faster and faster.

If it weren't for that scumbag dad nagging behind his back, after receiving the reward, he would definitely go back and share it with his mother.

But the current situation... let’s wait until next time!

…

"Feiyu...Feiyu?"

Half an hour later, Fusu's voice suddenly sounded outside Guanghua Hall.

Little Shota, who was lying on the rocking chair taking a nap, instinctively moved his ears slightly and opened his big, elf-like eyes.

"Brother Royal?"

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Zhengtai was startled when he found someone coming.

The relationship between the two is good, but he has been busier day by day since entering the palace, and the two of them don't have much time to visit each other on weekdays.

What's going on today? Are you suddenly free to come to him?

"You are quite leisurely!"

Fusu looked serious and glanced at him with a slightly complaining expression.

That posture is just like that of a mother looking at her son who hates iron and cannot become steel!

"I just came back from the Northern Expedition. My father asked me to go to court every morning. If I don't take advantage of the time to take a rest during the next court, my brother will not be able to see me in a few days!"

Little Shota stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile.

"It's okay to rest, but you have to be alert!"

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

From Fusu's sudden visit, Xiaozhengtai had already guessed that something was going on, and after hearing these meaningful words, she became even more sure.

"Ying Fan came to me a few days ago and said some provocative words, but I ignored him. But seeing that he is still running around these days, wandering among the royal brothers, I am afraid he has some plot!"

Fusu didn't mince words and explained his purpose directly.

When Ying Fan first found him, he didn't think much about it, but when he returned to the dormitory, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He simply sent someone to pay attention, and found that he was running around for some purpose, so he hurried over and took care of him.

Tell Ying Feiyu the situation!

Firstly, it’s for their brotherhood, and more importantly, it’s for the people of the world!

Feiyu has brought many benefits to the people since he entered the palace, and he must not be persecuted by those with ulterior motives!

"Brother, don't worry, the soldiers will stop you, and I will cover you with the water and the earth!"

In this regard, Xiao Zhengtai was not worried at all, and still joked with him with a relaxed expression.

"Okay, as long as you pay more attention!"

Fusu nodded with relief, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip.

When I put the tea cup down, I suddenly found a green thing placed in the corner.

"Huh? What is this?"

Fusu walked over curiously and squatted on the ground to observe carefully.

A huge wooden basin was filled with ice cubes, and a round object was placed on top of the ice cubes. It felt cold to the touch and felt very comfortable!

"This is called watermelon, it's a kind of fruit!"

Xiao Zhengtai gave a brief introduction.

"Then why put it in the ice?"

“Iced watermelon tastes better!”

Xiao Zhengtai sat on the chair and answered leisurely.

"What does this fruit... taste like? Is it better than canned lychees?"

Fusu squatted on the ground, looked around Xiguazi carefully, and asked a little embarrassedly.

He has never been to Lingnan, but he has eaten the canned lychees that Ying Feiyu brought back from Lingnan, and they are much more delicious than all the fruits in Guanzhong.

He also asked if it could be grown in Guanzhong and wanted to cultivate it in the laboratory, but was ruthlessly rejected.

Even if the saplings survive, they will never bear full fruit!

"Each one has its own merits. Lychee has high sugar content, while watermelon has enough water to relieve the heat!"

Xiao Zhengtai blurted out, and then ordered: "Come here... cut the watermelon and give it to the emperor to taste!"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I was just curious!"

Before this, he had never heard of a watermelon, and no other country had paid tribute recently, which meant that there was only one watermelon and it was very precious. How could he be embarrassed to try it?

"It doesn't matter. If Brother Huang thinks it tastes good, you can take the seeds back to the laboratory and plant them. If the temperature is right, they will bear fruit as soon as winter begins!"

Ever since he saw various high-yielding grains, Fusu somehow became obsessed with agriculture bit by bit. He even found a few doctors in the palace who had the same hobby to set up a laboratory, hoping to be able to be like him.

Just like Xiao Zhengtai, he produced high-yielding grains and benefited the people.

"really?"

After hearing this, Fusu's eyes immediately lit up and he became energetic.

"Can I still lie to you...?"

Xiao Zhengtai pretended to be annoyed and rolled his eyes, and continued: "Watermelons do not have high requirements for temperature and humidity. If artificial pollination is even, it should be successful!"

Watermelon is a treasure in this era, but in later generations, it was a common fruit.

Usually they are taken to the market one by one and sold!

"Young Master, how...how do you cut this?"

At this moment, Jing Fu held the knife and squatted on the ground for a long time, but he didn't make a move.

The main reason is that I have never seen this thing before, and I don’t know where I can eat it, where I can’t eat it, and I don’t know where to start!

"Alas...! I have to do it myself for such a trivial matter!"

In desperation, Xiao Zhengtai had no choice but to carry the watermelon to the table and chop it down without hesitation.

"Click..."

The watermelon burst into pieces, revealing its red flesh. At the same time, a light fragrance gradually spread out, making people feel refreshed in this hot summer day.

Except for Xiao Zhengtai, everyone present was stunned.

No one expected that under the emerald green appearance, there was actually red flesh!

"Brother, come and try it...!"

After cutting the watermelon into small pieces, he handed it to Fusu, "You can eat it, but be sure to spit out the seeds inside. Whether you can eat watermelon this winter depends entirely on them!"

He had already planned to keep the watermelon seeds and grow some watermelons to eat himself!

Now that Fusu is here, leave this job to him. Wouldn't it be better to wait and eat the ready-made food?

There must be three to four hundred seeds in a watermelon, and if you hit half of them, they will germinate successfully, and you will have two hundred watermelons in winter.

Next year these two hundred will sprout and grow up, and they will gradually spread throughout the Qin Dynasty!

"Okay!"
Chapter completed!
