I rely on the food variety show to become popular on the Internet

For his lies full of flaws, Li Yanchuan also knew that it was really not convincing, but he just wanted to find an excuse to keep up with Gu Bai.

And Gu Bai was surprised by Li Yanchuan's arrival, but he also felt a lot familiar with him. After all, he went out with Li Yanchuan a few times before, and the other party really took care of him a lot, and Gu Bai got used to it.

The group soon arrived at Melon Village, the place where crispy watermelons are produced. According to Master Zhou, the watermelons grown here are particularly delicious, and foreigners also like to eat them.

It’s just that this reputation was still a hundred years ago. Now the watermelon varieties outside are getting better and better. They have thin skin, thick flesh, seedless and crispy, but the watermelons in Melon Village seem to be not so valuable.

So many people switch to other watermelons. Although the taste of other watermelons may not be as good as Meicri, they can be regarded as a low-end version. The most important thing is that ten melons will not be shipped out during transportation. Two or three good ones.

This good melon is damaged on the road, and if you want to make money, the price must be high. Even if the average person eats it and thinks it is good, if they buy a melon for seventy or eighty, no one on their side is willing to buy it.

The local area is the place where melons are produced. There are many kinds of watermelons. Buying you a crispy melon is worth four or five other melons. Why don’t I buy others.

In this way, fewer and fewer people grow Meicui melons, and everyone changes to other melons. Although the unit price is not as high as Meicui, it is convenient to sell.

As a result, there are only a few households in Melon Village that grow Meicui. Basically, they sell the melons to Yunkelou, or go out to sell a few sporadically, but because of the high unit price, the sales are not very active.

Although the households in Melon Village who planted crispy watermelons received information from Master Zhou, they didn’t know that they came to buy in bulk. Send to friends.

Master Zhou said this because he was afraid that they would expect too much and be disappointed.

Jiang Xiu has no objection to this, in this case, she should be able to see a more real scene.

Although they knew that Jiang Xiu and the others might not be able to buy much, the villagers still enthusiastically took them to the storage place of Meicri watermelon. Meicri watermelon is a late-ripening variety, and it only begins to ripen when other melons are not produced much.

It's just that at this point in time, the watermelons have been stored for a while. Fortunately, their watermelon preservation method is not bad, and it can be stored for a while without changing the taste.

In fact, if it is put in a cold storage, the storage time will be longer. Unfortunately, the cost of building a cold storage for the watermelon is too high, and it was not built in the end.

As soon as they entered the warehouse, Li Yanchuan and Jiang Xiu felt that the warehouse was well organized, clean and tidy, and it looked like it had been carefully taken care of, but they still couldn't tell how the melons were.

The two looked sideways at Gu Bai, wanting to ask Gu Bai's opinion. Their look attracted the attention of the young man who came with them. The young man is the grandson of Uncle Gua Nong Hu, who recently returned to his hometown on vacation.

Although Master Zhou said that these people came to buy watermelons and eat them back, Hu Cheng always felt that something was wrong. He couldn’t see the brand of their clothes, but the price was definitely not cheap. If such people really want to buy melons, why should they come by themselves? , especially when he heard that they were from Linzhang City, which was far away from them, he was even more surprised.

Looking at the actions of several people, Hu Cheng vaguely guessed a possibility. The other party came to buy melons, but it should not be for his own consumption, but for acquisition.

Thinking of this possibility, Hu Cheng's heart beat faster.

He also has a lot of affection for Crispy Watermelon. When he was a child, his family was poor, and he saved up his tuition and living expenses by selling Crispy Watermelon. It's a fond memory of his childhood.

To be honest, Hu Cheng didn’t really want the Crispy Watermelon to disappear. When he was in college, he spared no effort to be with the people around him, but his classmates said that the taste was really good, but he stopped when he asked the price.

Hu Cheng was nervous. When he saw Gu Bai, he always felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

In order to go out to watch the watermelon, Gu Bai asked for another day off. Netizens are very used to asking for leave. The only thing they are curious about Gu Bai asking for leave is what is the other party doing and where did he go?

No wonder they were curious, every time Gu Bai went out, it was equivalent to bringing them benefits. Although he knew that this kind of thing was unlikely to happen all the time, he was always looking forward to it.

So much so that a big guessing activity was launched in the comment area, guessing what kind of food Gu Bai is going to go out this time.

【Guess a pickle】

【Guess a cookie】

【Guess a pastry】

【Guess a fast food】

……

Although the guess may not be accurate, everyone just joined in the fun. When Gu Bai was watching the watermelon, Hu Cheng couldn't help but took out his phone and checked it back.

[Is it possible that they came out to see the watermelon? 】

However, netizens laughed when they saw this news. It is a bit strange to see watermelon, but it does not prevent them from thinking that this impossible news is very funny, and they pushed it to the top after a while.

Looking at the people laughing under the comments, Hu Cheng had an inexplicable sense of excitement that only he knew the truth while others didn't.

Gu Bai carefully looked at the watermelons inside, and couldn't help being a little surprised. He originally thought that the watermelons in Yunkelou were so delicious that they were picked out on purpose, but now that he came here to look, he realized that they were probably all Take whatever you want.

Because the worst quality of every melon here is similar to that of Yunkelou, and the quality is even better than that of Yunkelou.

Gu Bai had only two thoughts at this time, the melon grower's technique in growing melons is definitely very high, and the quality of the melon seeds is also very stable, otherwise the quality of watermelons would not be so stable.

Seeing Gu Bai's expression, old man Hu knew that the other party was very satisfied, and he was relieved. The price of this melon is not low, and if he can sell a batch, he will earn a lot of money.

Although the family is not as poor as it used to be, but it is a little bit of money, and the crispy watermelon can be sold for money, which is also a big comfort to him.

Old man Hu really doesn't understand why our melons are so good, why they can't be sold at a high price, and any foreign varieties of melons don't look as good as theirs, and transportation is also difficult, so why the price is so high and they are still selling well.

It was just holding back his breath that made him insist on planting. The other families were somewhat affected by him, and the acquisition of Yunkelou was a breath of fresh air for Meicui Watermelon. How much I like it, the difficulty of local sales and transportation is low, so that the crispy watermelon has not completely lost its living space under the squeeze of various watermelons.

Because he knew that these watermelons were all the delicious and crispy watermelons this year, in order to ensure the quality, Gu Bai looked at them one by one, and he saw Da Noon directly.

Old man Hu was a little embarrassed. He didn't know if he should invite a few people to eat at his house. He usually greeted guests like this, but the few people looked like they were not short of money. They might think that the food in this village was not good. , I want to go back to the restaurant to eat.

But the problem is, old man Hu remembers that it takes more than an hour to walk from the village to the city, and it's already meal time, and if he goes back to eat, he must go back hungry.

Old man Hu hadn't spoken yet, but it was Master Zhou who spoke first: "Mr. Gu, you're almost done, why don't you just eat in this village, and I'll make some dishes."

Although Gu Bai looked at it seriously, but Master Zhou was not impatient at all. To put it bluntly, Gu Bai was willing to watch it, so many people begged him to take a look, but Gu Bai was not willing to watch it.

The other party is so serious, so what if he cooks for others?

Gu Bai looked at the watermelon seriously and didn't think of it yet, but Jiang Xiu and Li Yanchuan both thought of it. After hearing what Master Zhou said, they looked at him with kinder eyes.

"Will this be too troublesome?" Gu Bai was a little moved, hesitating.

"No trouble, no trouble." Master Zhou shook his head again and again.

A group of people walked towards Old Man Hu's house, and passed by a watermelon warehouse. Gu Bai's eyes lit up when he saw the watermelons inside. The melons in this store are different from the melons in Old Man Hu's house. Gu Bai also knew them, and the taste of the flesh was medium. Level, the thickness of the melon rind is also moderate.

The rind of the melon can be used for stir-frying, and the melon seeds can also be used for frying after drying, not to mention the pulp.

Gu Bai simply went over to buy a melon, but he didn't know that his action made old man Hu and Hu Cheng feel aroused. They thought the business was stable, but if Gu Bai was hooked by another watermelon, it would be miserable. .

Old man Hu didn't know Gu Bai's identity, and although he was also worried, the level of anxiety was definitely not as strong as that of Hu Cheng.

Hu Cheng watched Gu Bai come back with a watermelon in his arms. He knew it was best not to ask, but he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Gu, have you taken a fancy to this watermelon?"

"No, I just see that the skin of this watermelon is quite thick, so I want to fry some melon skin." This idea came up when I was eating melon before, but the melon skin was too thin at that time, and Gu Bai hadn't had time to act When I went out to buy watermelons, I came to Melon Village.

"Mr. Gu, do you eat this too?" Hu Cheng was a little surprised. Cooking with melon skin is more common in their local area, because there are a lot of watermelons in the local area, and melon is both a fruit and a vegetable for them.

But when he went outside, for example, when he was in college, he rarely saw this dish, so that he didn't even have to eat it if he wanted to.

At first, I still hated it in my hometown, and I ate this fried melon rind every now and then when the watermelon was ripe, but when I had nothing to eat outside, I panicked.

Now, old man Hu also understood why Gu Bai would buy other watermelons. Crisp watermelons are great, but they are really not comparable to other melons in this respect. Its skin is too difficult to stir-fry. , just that thin layer, after removing the green skin, there is no white skin, how to eat it?

"There is beef at home, this melon skin must be fried with beef to taste delicious." Old man Hu said, the beef was originally intended for Hu Cheng to eat, but when the guests came, they should be entertained first.

The combination of beef and melon rind is really good, because when beef and watermelon are fried together, it will absorb a little of the sweetness of melon rind, and mix with the meaty aroma of the beef itself, inspiring a unique taste.

And the melon rind is stained with the meaty taste of beef, and the taste will be better.
