Chapter 424: This cold melon is so delicious!

Qin's mother was slightly surprised, and said with a little panic: "This, can I really do this? Mother is of course willing to help you, but can I really do this well?"

Charity halls exist in Chang'an too.

It belongs to the official charity hall, which is usually led by the married and older ladies of the clan.

Such a thing is very virtuous. Although it will consume some energy and money, it will also help the reputation.

Those who take the lead in doing this are women on top of the local pyramids.

Mother Qin's mind has not yet turned the corner, she is still in the same state as when she was still in Chang'an.

Qin Yang smiled helplessly and reminded: "Mom, you are the mother of the King of Youzhou. Who in Youzhou is more noble and better able to take the lead in doing this than you?"

Qin's mother was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that she is now on her son's one-acre land!

In this place, the king is her son!

Her own son!

She will be praised by everyone in this place, the most honorable woman!
This realization made Qin's mother's originally hidden inferiority finally dissipate.

Faced with her son's encouraging eyes, Qin's mother nodded: "Okay! Mom will help you do this!"

Qin Yang told Qin's mother that the preparations for this charity hall can be completed before winter.

He will send someone to assist the two old ladies in this matter.

This dispelled Qin's mother's last worry.

Qin Xiangshan watched the interaction between his son and his wife, and learned that his wife was about to take office and prepare for the establishment of the charity hall. Qin Xiangshan also looked at his son eagerly, waiting for his son to assign tasks to him.

Qin Yang hurriedly said to him: "Father, you are the father of the King of Youzhou, and you must not be allowed to do ordinary things. But you have been in business for many years and the Ministry of Commerce of Youzhou has just been established, so you can become a special consultant , guide them, what do you think?"

Distinguished consultant?
Qin Xiangshan had never heard of this title.

But when he heard it for the first time at this moment, he felt that this position seemed very special!Very detached!
He was naturally happy, and said with a smile: "As long as it can help you, Dad is naturally happy."

So, after a meal, Qin Yang settled the two elders and arranged them clearly.

A few days later, he told Zhang Yunji about it.

Zhang Yunji agrees very much, especially for his mother to be in charge of the Charity Hall together with King Youzhou's mother-in-law. In his opinion, that is great!
After talking about the main business, Zhang Yunji talked about another "small" thing.

"Your Majesty, after you left, didn't you send someone back with news that there were seeds stored in the warehouse so that these cold melon seeds could be planted? Now the cold melons have grown! The cold melons on hundreds of acres of sandy land, Harvest!"

Cold melon refers to watermelon!
Qin Yang had been coveting watermelons before.

But at this time, although the watermelon was introduced into the Tang Dynasty, it did not spread in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty.Moreover, the watermelons passed down in this era are not as delicious as those in later generations!
It can be seen that continuous optimization does have a big effect.

After eating the cold melon of this era once, Qin Yang felt depressed.

Summer is incomplete without delicious watermelon!
He was thinking about this before leaving for Chang'an!
It's just that he didn't have such a seed at all at that time, so he was helpless.

But in Chang'an, he got a reward!
One hundred thousand high-quality seeds!
After he got it, he directly stored it in the warehouse he had vacated before.

This place is now specially used to "store" those things that suddenly appeared.

After he got the seeds, he released the doves and sent the news back.

It is estimated that Zhang Yunji received the news and started planting. It will be more than a month until now?
He got a lot of high-quality dry land and sandy land watermelon seeds. In fact, he just hopes that he can eat a batch this summer.

This kind of watermelon does not need to occupy fertile land!
Those dry land and sandy land that cannot grow crops can be used to grow watermelons!

However, because the seeds he got in the first year were not many, Qin Yang could only ask people to open up hundreds of acres of sandy land and dry land to grow this kind of watermelon.

Now that he just came back, he learned that the watermelon harvest was bumper. How could this not make him happy?This time was half as short as he expected!

Moreover, now that the harvest is bumper, the second batch can be planted in large quantities!
Generally speaking, the ripening cycle of watermelon is not very long, three months!
But that's just plain watermelon!

The time for the watermelon seeds he exchanged from the system has obviously been greatly shortened!Cut in half!It only takes one and a half months, that is, 45 days, to fully mature!

Judging from this time, the second batch is planted now, and the third batch can be harvested after the second batch is harvested!
When Qin Yang thought of this, he became happy.

He immediately said: "This is a good thing! Go! Get it, come with me, let's go to the field to eat watermelon!"

After saying that, he pulled Zhang Yunji into the carriage and went straight to the watermelon field in the suburbs.

Because of the quality of the soil, this large piece of wasteland was avoided before.

As a result, this piece of land, at a glance, is lush green!
The plump watermelons stand out before the vine leaves, which is very gratifying to look at!

When Qin Yang arrived, the little steward in charge of planting watermelons immediately came to see him.

Qin Yang's mouth was about to be sour, and he said directly: "Pick a few big watermelons and bring them up!"

So far, no one has eaten a bite of watermelon from this field.

After all, this is the cold melon field that King Youzhou ordered to plant. Who would dare to eat it before King Youzhou took the first bite?

Following Qin Yang's order, several big watermelons were carried up.

The shade was still cool, and tables and chairs were set up, and the accompanying guards cut the watermelons one by one with clean daggers.

After all this happened, a sweet and fresh smell immediately permeated the air!
And the alluring red flesh inside the watermelon makes people around them salivate!
These people are actually not people who are short of food!

They usually eat a lot of fruit, but when they saw the sliced ​​watermelon, they couldn't restrain their saliva at all!

Qin Yang said very generously: "Come and eat! Come and eat!"

He himself took the first piece, and Zhang Yunji took the second.

After the two took it, the others were no longer willing to wait, and rushed forward, and several large watermelons were divided up in an instant.

Eating watermelon, everyone's face showed a happy look.

This cold melon is so delicious!

Moreover, this cold melon can still be grown in Youzhou!Still a bountiful fruit!
This thing is too sweet, too thirst-quenching!

The original summer heat disappeared after eating a few pieces of watermelon!

After everyone finished eating, it was a pleasure!
However, King Youzhou was still there and said: "Actually, if the watermelon is soaked in well water, cut open, and eaten with a spoon, that would be really fun!"
