Life as a Landlord in Global Games

Chapter 83 Melon and Moon

In the farm, Jiang Ke and others are busy.

Today is the time to harvest the watermelons. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well come and harvest them myself, and then set up a stall in the gathering place to sell some watermelons.

It can be considered entertainment.

Watermelons of different sizes fall on the slender green branches, and even sway with the occasional wind...

At a glance, there were at least three or four emerald green watermelons hanging brightly on the branches that were definitely no thicker than Jiang Ke's arm, and there were more than a dozen watermelons on one tree.

Just like when he first saw the sweet potato, Jiang Ke doubted whether the branches of the watermelon would break under the load.

This is really a watermelon growing on the tree.

Jiang Ke reached out and picked one off, then gestured to Xiao Hei with his eyes, and Xiao Hei waved his paw.

A whirlwind wrapped up the watermelon, and then neatly cut it into bite-sized pieces.

The bright red flesh of the melon is full of juice and looks particularly bright under the light, exuding a unique sweetness of watermelon.

The key is……

It doesn’t have watermelon seeds!

Jiang Ke tried to take a bite, and the juice splashed in her mouth. It was so juicy that it was like eating liquid. It was very sweet, but not greasy, and even felt a bit cold.

It tastes really good, even people like Jiang Ke who don't like watermelon think they can give it a try.

"Auntie, Xiaoyun, you two should try it too!"

Jiang Ke divided the watermelon between them.

Auntie ate in small bites, looking quite elegant and reserved. But Gu Xinyun was not so good-looking, with red juice all over her face and hands after eating.

"This melon is so sweet. I haven't tasted anything this sweet for a long time. The watermelons sold on the street before didn't taste like watermelon anymore."

Aunt Lin looked at so many watermelons, thought thoughtfully for a moment and said:

"Wait a minute before I make you some watermelon jam to try? Such a good melon should be delicious in sauce."

"Watermelon jam, is it sweet?"

"No, it's salty and spicy. It's mainly made with watermelon, soybeans, chili peppers and some spices.

Those bright red sauces you usually see, the ones with beans in them, are actually watermelon sauce, which is an advanced version of soybean sauce."

Aunt explained:

"You have to soak the soybeans first, coat them in flour, and then dry them until mycelium grows. Then spread them out on a chopping board in an airtight place to dry. They will dry for about a week before mycelium grows and they are ready for use."

"Can you still eat it if it has mycelium? How is it different from mold?"

"..."

Aunt Lin looked at Jiang Ke, as speechless as if she were looking at a novice who didn't know how to cook. She put her hands on her hips and prepared to give Jiang Ke a good explanation.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Ke winked at Xiao Hei, and then said with a smile: "Well, I still have to sell melons. Auntie, you are busy first. I will come and listen to you when I have time."

After saying that, she reached out to open the door and ran in quickly, followed closely by Xiao Hei with a dozen watermelons.

"Pap~"

After closing the door, he quickly disappeared.

"This girl needs to learn how to cook..."

Aunt Lin was sighing when she suddenly saw her daughter walking over.

Her eyes lit up, and she waved to Liu Yuehong with a smile:

"Xiaohong, come here!"

"What's going on?"

Liu Yuehong was obviously in a good mood and ran over immediately. Then she was grabbed by Aunt Lin, pointed at the watermelon, and began to teach her how to make watermelon jam.

Liu Yuehong suddenly had a grimace on her face and could only listen attentively.

Gu Xinyun had already quietly left with a mature dog and two watermelons.

He still has to give the watermelon to his mother to try, but he can't learn to cook here.

…

Outside the apartment, Jiang Ke held his mobile blue air conditioner and found a remote place to sit down. There were large round watermelons placed on the plastic paper in front of him, and there was a sign next to it.

[Watermelon, only one per person, one pound per pound, absolutely delicious!]

She found a hidden corner just to experience it, so she didn't need to worry about the price.

Although if this method of setting up a stall is seen by people who often practice stalls, I am afraid they will be angry and have nothing to say.

"Xiao Lan, do you need to lose some weight?"

Jiang Ke touched Xiaolan's increasingly smooth fur, patted its butt, and made a rather solid sound.

"Ouch!"

Xiao Lan moved her body dissatisfied. They said that the tiger's butt was untouchable. It was a mythical beast after all. How could it be spanked all the time?

"Okay, if you don't touch your butt, don't touch it."

Jiang Ke snorted, looked at Xiaolan who had closed his eyes, and sneakily poked his fat back with his fingers.

"!"

The flesh on Xiaolan's back immediately shrank, making Jiang Ke feel very comfortable.

It's a guilty pleasure.

Xiao Lan dared not say anything in anger, but it silently controlled the ice air around it, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.

You dare to poke the air conditioner randomly, so it’s normal for the temperature to be unstable, right?

"If the air conditioner doesn't work, then it should be replaced. Unfortunately, I still feed you fruit every day and let you go to Xiaofen's to catch fish."

Jiang Ke gently stroked it with his fingers, and his words contained a threatening meaning. Xiaolan's tail shook a few times in dissatisfaction, and the surrounding temperature suddenly stabilized, becoming cool but not cold.

Xiaolan was scared.

"Hmph~"

Just as Jiang Ke was about to poke him tentatively, he heard footsteps.

A figure walked from far to near, seemed to pause, and a male voice came:

"Hello, I want to buy a melon."

"Okay, I'm interested in that one. These are the best melons."

Jiang Ke raised his head with a smile, showing a business smile.

The person who came was a tall young man wearing a T-shirt and shorts, but he looked immature.

"Sister Jiang? Are you the landlord of the apartment, Sister Jiang?"

The young man was surprised when he saw Jiang Ke's face, and his attitude immediately became respectful.

"I'm Jiang Ke, so I don't have to be so reserved. I specially found a remote place to sell melons.

Well, pick a good one, these are all just picked."

"Okay, let me take a look."

He bent down and stretched out his hand to flick the watermelon, but his movements were not skillful at all. It was obvious that he had heard that this method could be used to identify the quality of the watermelon.

"That's it. Well, there's no scale here. How do you weigh it?"

The young man picked up one, looked around, and said doubtfully.

"This, isn't there a label on it?"

"Oh, I just didn't see it. Five pounds, I'll give you the money..."

The young man quickly transferred money to Jiang Ke, and then said with some embarrassment:

"Can I ask my friend to buy it too?"

"Okay, it's just fate that I can buy it anyway. I don't mind whoever buys it."

"thank you!"

After the young man said something, he ran away in a hurry.

Holding a melon weighing eight kilograms, he can still walk quickly. He is indeed a young man full of energy.

Jiang Ke felt that he would never be able to do it.

But she doesn't need to take it.

She looked at the watermelon, stretched out a finger, and flicked it at the watermelon.

The watermelon immediately levitated steadily, spinning up and down with Jiang Ke's fingers, and even spun around several times.

After practicing for so long, she was finally able to perfectly control this skill from Gu Xinyun.

After practicing with the watermelon for a while, Jiang Ke put it down and looked at Xiao Lan in his arms.

Xiaolan seemed to have sensed it, and burrowed her head under Jiang Ke's clothes, like an ostrich burrowing into the sand.

Seeing it like this, Jiang Ke couldn't bear to tease it anymore.

Just stroking its blue fur that seemed to be soaked in moonlight, Jiang Ke suddenly thought of something.

This matter had been on her mind for a long time, but she suddenly remembered it today.

"Xiaolan, since you are from the Xiyue Sea, do you know where the Xiyue Sea Shell comes from?"

She asked softly:

"Is there any connection between you and Xiyue Haizhikai?"
