Pull out the golden saber, chop the jasper bottle, thousands of red cherries, a group of yellow crystals, swallow it and the smell of fireworks will disappear, and the sound of ice and snow will be heard on the teeth

A mouthful of red flesh goes down the stomach, and the fatigue of the whole day is swept away.

Sweet and refreshing, 90% of the melon can be eaten. This time the pitcher is simply here to repay the favor!

Tajima ate his share in a few bites, and then put the target up to receive another one.

"It's really surprising sweetness, it's already comparable to honey."

"It looks a bit like a melon, so let's call it a cold melon."

Uchiha Xin followed with a compliment, "Eating it makes people feel cool in all their internal organs, and the name of cold melon is very appropriate."

"It's perfect for eating when you are thirsty while taking a hot spring bath."

"It's also suitable for eating in summer. I'll ask Linglong if it can be made into smoothies when I go back," Izuna cut two more pieces and handed one to Uchiha Xing.

Linglong was too busy with the oil mill to come, and Mori didn't want to come to the country of soup alone to watch other couples show their affection, so he simply didn't come to this event and stayed in the tribe to accompany Linglong.

"You don't need to add extra honey to make this smoothie, but it's a bit troublesome to spit out the seeds."

Hao put all the melon seeds he spit into the collection box that the Sixth Elder took out early in the morning.

Kyojuro, who didn't expect to be able to achieve watermelon freedom in this life, was so focused on eating the melon that he didn't care about the happy ideas of the adults at home about future business.

Five Ants!!! ! !

Xue and Jin started to compete to see who could spit the melon seeds into the Sixth Elder's small box. You had already taken out the kunai and started to study the structure of the melon seeds.

A group of people held up freshly cut melons and started cheering around the fire in the yard,

"Kyojuro is awesome!!!"

"Awesome!!!!"

...

Three days later, Uchiha Madara knocked on the door of the bathroom at home,

"Izuna, are you okay? Do you need Kyojuro to get some medicine from the new elder?"

Uchiha Izuna had diarrhea because he ate only cold melons and no rice for three consecutive days.

"Brother Madara, I'm fine."

Uchiha Madara announced seriously, "You are not allowed to eat cold melons for a week."

"Did you hear that?"

Izuna replied weakly, "...got it..."

Uchiha Madara sighed, turned on the fire to prepare ginger sugar water for his brother to drink later, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Uchiha Tajima carrying another cold melon into the house.

"Father!!!"

In this family, only he and Kyojuro are reliable!!!

Tajima ran away with the winter melon in his arms. Madara was so angry that he laughed instead. He directly used his heavenly hand power to exchange his position with the winter melon and successfully caught the old father who was the leader in not paying attention to his diet.

"Confiscate the winter melon!"

"No!!!!"

Ignoring the old father's wailing, Madara asked Kyojuro to take back the winter melon pitcher.

"Move this to the Sixth Elder's house. Your uncle and uncle can't stand the test."

It just so happened that the Sixth Elder didn't like these fruits very much. He preferred to make fruit wine.

Kyojuro, who also ate winter melon for three days but was not affected at all because of his good physique, nodded obediently.

Anyway, it was planted at the master's house, and he could eat it anytime.

...

"Master, Uncle Madara asked me to plant the winter melon pitcher here."

Hearing this, Uchiha Hirohiko didn't even raise his head, "Ha, I won the bet between Fukutaro and me! We bet on how many days your Izuna can eat winter melon without restraint. I bet three days, and he bet five days!"

"Wow," Kyojuro sighed a little, "How did you guess so accurately?"

Uchiha Hirohiko was struggling to open the wooden stopper on the top of the pottery jar, "Because Izuna has a cold constitution since childhood, uh, looking at his appearance, you can tell that he loves to eat winter melon. This stopper... will definitely eat it all at once, why... is it so... tight!"

Pop!

"Huh, it's open," Hirohiko looked into the jar to observe the situation,

"It's okay to eat a little winter melon, but if you eat too much, Izuna will definitely have diarrhea with her constitution, and this period of time will definitely not exceed three days."

"Sure enough!"

"I also knew that Madara would definitely force Izuna to drink ginger sugar water."

All right!

Poor little uncle, when he walked out of the house, he was still being watched by Uncle Ban while drinking ginger sugar water.

Kyojuro leaned over and observed like Boyan, "Master, are you brewing wine? Did it go bad?"

A sour smell peculiar to the early stage of fermentation lingered near the jar.

"No, I'm trying to ferment the melon rind to see if it can be mixed with fertilizer."

The melon rind is a rare good thing. If he can't make full use of the fruit of a plant that has both water and sugar, he will feel guilty!

So he chose to try fermenting it alone first. Although it was not the hottest time in March and April, the fermentation speed was much faster than he thought.

"This smell is a bit unpleasant. Go in and sprinkle the melon seeds I soaked in the soil pot. Do you remember the process?"

"Remember! Don't worry, Master!"

The cultivation process of melon seeds is similar to that of other plants. The seeds are soaked for a period of time. The soaking time depends on the hardness of the seeds. The melon seeds are relatively soft and only need to be soaked for 3 or 4 hours.

Kyojuro took out the melon seeds that Hirohiko had soaked in a bowl and wrapped them in a cotton cloth soaked in water. Then he loosened the soil in the large pot that had not been used for the whole winter and poured a proper amount of water to keep the soil moist.

Then, he evenly sprinkled the melon seeds on the soil and sprinkled a thin layer of soil on top.

He has been practicing this process since he was a child, and he is already very proficient in it.

After finishing it easily, Xingjulang washed the dirt on his hands, cut another cold melon and ate it.

Thanks to his parents for giving him such a good physique!

"Master, do you think the remaining melon rinds can be fed to pigs?"

The pigs Anjuro was talking about were, of course, not pigs raised by the Uchiha clan themselves, but by nearby farmers.

Because the Uchiha family's demand for meat is now increasing, and the wild boars in the woods have almost disappeared. The farmers living nearby are keenly aware of the business opportunities, especially those whose families have people working in Uchiha's workshops. Every household had pigs, just waiting for Uchiha to buy them.

If someone came to check if they were doing business, they would release the pigs into the Uchiha woods and ask if there were a lot of wild boars nearby.

"Of course I can," Boyan straightened his back, and Xingshou Lang quickly helped him sit under the eaves of the corridor.

"Oh, old age is not enough. In the blink of an eye, I will be sixty, and I really can't look like I was when I was young."

Uchiha Hirohiko punched his waist twice, and then thought, he already has a great-grandson, how can he not grow old?

"It will be the full moon of your Yingji brother's child after you come back from Senju. Remember to go to dinner."

"I know, Master, you have said it several times," Xingjuro poured Boyan a cup of tea, "The newly discovered tea can in the cabinet."

Boyan took a sip and squinted his eyes to taste it for a long time, but tasted nothing. He still preferred to drink a small sweet wine.

"Ah Qing brought it, saying it was given to her by Su. Do you think it's time for Su to give it back? I've never seen her drink this before."

When Uchiha was young, he was a rebellious person who smoked and drank a lot. After his 45th birthday, he suddenly decided to start a health regimen, saying that he wanted to live a few more years so that he could watch his future children grow up.

Boyan continued Xingjulang's idea and said, "The pig feeding you mentioned is feasible but the return is not high."

The long summer in the Land of Fire is very hot, and pigs who are raised are not able to drink water at any time like wild boars, so they are prone to heat stroke. If you can mix unwanted cold melon rinds into the feed, you can solve two problems at once.

But the problem is,

"You can't ask farmers who have just had enough to eat for a few years to spend money specifically on buying feed for their pigs."

Uchiha couldn't do anything for free, so they gave away the melon rinds themselves, and then the pigs that grew up eating the melon rinds had to be bought back by Uchiha...

Why do I feel like I've been taken advantage of?

"Furthermore, the consumption of cold melons at home is still small, and the fertilizer for the experimental fields is almost consumed. After summer, these good things will definitely be transported to the capital and Taga Castle for sale. By then, the amount of melon rinds will increase. become more.”

Boyan took another sip of tea, "It's just that the skin of the melon rots too easily, and the ones consumed in the capital cannot be transported back... Wait! Why don't you just sell them nearby!"

As he was talking, Boyan suddenly remembered something that had always been in their ninja's blind spot.

Ninjas rely on their endurance when traveling, but ordinary nobles need to travel by carriage.

Although the capital city does not raise pigs, it does have a horse farm that specializes in breeding horses!

That was a large company that directly supplied the nobles and royal family! ! !
