475 No Seeds!
“We can’t sell this. We can go and eat it at home.” With that, Xue Erfu bent down to pick up the watermelon.
Jiang Yue had used a lot of strength. When she placed it in the basket, there was only a crack, and the red inside could be seen. However, when Xue Erfu picked it up, the watermelon split into two before he could even pick it up, revealing the sweet red flesh.
The most important thing was that there were no seeds!
“Erfu, why don’t these watermelons have seeds?!” Jinshan was the first to shout.
Xue Erfu also found it strange, but when he thought of the white, black, and purple corn in his yellow corn field, he didn’t think it was a big deal. He smiled and said, “The same mother can give birth to different sons. Why can’t the watermelons give birth to something different?”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were speechless.
“Haha, you’re right, you’re right.” Jinshan was overjoyed.
The other ice delivery men were also overjoyed.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan exchanged a look. In any case, the news of the seedless watermelons had been made known.
“Can I take a look?” Jiang Yue said, standing on her tiptoes. There were still things to be resolved. For example, she had to let Erfu know how to distinguish between seedless watermelons and seeded watermelons.
“Let’s go to that table and have a look. I’ll cut it open and see if the seedless watermelon is sweet or not.” Xue Erfu said.
“It looks sweet,” Jinshan said with a smile. “It’s good that it’s seedless, I won’t have to spit out seeds when I eat it now.” As he spoke, he also came to the table under the tree.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had already climbed onto the chairs and watched as Xue Erfu put the two halves of the watermelon on the table. He didn’t go back to cut it with a knife, but broke it with his hands.
Xue Erfu broke off a small piece and tasted it, and his eyes lit up. “Why is it so sweet? Hey, you guys should try it too.”
As he said that, he broke off a large piece for each of them.
Jinshan and the others took a big bite and nodded, “I told you it looked sweet. We thought the seeded watermelon we ate yesterday was sweet enough, but this one is even sweeter.”
Jiang Yue didn’t try it immediately, but said, “The pattern on this melon skin is different from yesterday’s. Yesterday’s pattern was dark green, but this one is black.”
“Let me take a look.” Xue Erfu immediately stared at the patterns on the melon skin. “It really seems like it…”
Jinshan and the others also saw it and thought so as well. Then, they quickly went to the boxes containing watermelons. As they looked at the watermelons in the boxes, they said, “There really are two types of patterns. Erfu, come and take a look. There are two types of watermelons with black and dark green patterns in the box.
Xue Erfu also rushed over to take a look. “Then, does that mean that the black-patterned watermelons don’t have seeds and the dark-green patterned watermelons do?”
“Why don’t we cut another watermelon to find out?” Jiang Yue asked.
“I won’t cut the watermelons with dark green patterns. All the watermelons we’ve eaten before have dark green patterns. I remember that they have seeds. I’ll open the one with black patterns.” As he spoke, Xue Erfu took out a large watermelon with black patterns from the box. “If there are no seeds in this one, we can confirm that the ones with black patterns have no seeds and the ones with dark green patterns have seeds.”
“Yes, that should be right.” Jinshan and the others all nodded.
Because of his excitement, Xue Erfu didn’t take a knife to cut it. The watermelon didn’t have a crack, so it was hard to break it. Xue Erfu directly punched it.
Seeing this, Xue Yan fell silent for a moment and looked at Jiang Yue again.
