Bringing the courtyard through [delicate] lady killed like crazy

Chapter 250 Watermelon Launches

The next morning, Su Yue arranged to quickly go into the orchard to pick fruits.

Just one fruit tree can yield several baskets of fruit. Even though the people picking the fruit are used to seeing all kinds of vegetables growing in the front yard, they are still stunned by the fruit trees in the backyard.

Zhuangzi was not isolated from the news. People in Zhuangzi could leave the village and go to the capital. Apart from their own duties in Zhuangzi, no one restricted them.

So everyone knows that their daughter is now a famous doctor who can revive the dead...

only……

Everyone looked at the lush fruit trees that were twice as big as normal trees. The branches were bent down by the heavy fruits, and each fruit looked like a huge open umbrella.

The fruits are plump and juicy, and there is no insect damage...

This... my girl should be the reincarnation of Shennong from heaven, right?

There was no need for the crowd to move back and forth. They just followed the fruit trees around them. Those who were skilled and nimble could climb up the trees directly, and throw the ripe fruits into the hands of the people below.

In a short while, the basket was full...

Zhuangzi's picking is in full swing.

By the time Lu Liang, along with Minister Lin, Minister Meng, and Censor Li, arrived at the farm, numerous frames had already been piled up in the square in front of the unique courtyard in the middle.

Each frame is filled with outstanding fruits, including peaches, apples, apricots, bayberries, blueberries, strawberries, cherries, grapes...

Even though Minister Lin and Imperial Censor Li had eaten a lot of fruit along the way, they were still dumbfounded when they saw this scene...

This... the princess is planning to open a shop in the capital to sell fruits?

At that time, Li Jiaojiao was still drawing in the room.

When wheat and rice are about to mature, they must be husked. This is not a difficult task in modern times and can be done mechanized, but it is a bit difficult here.

Not to mention the ones in front of her, she also has the manor that Qi Yunyu was given after she treated him, and the manor below the Blue Moon Villa. All the seeds were taken from here at that time.

They planted late, and she didn't personally stimulate the growth, so the crops would mature a little later. But according to Su Yuebao, grain production in various places was also growing well.

Probably because they were all soaked in the water in the space, and because she used the essence of life force for irrigation, the harvest time was not much different from that on the farm.

How much time would it take to store so much grain manually?

So she's working on a range of tools now.

The first is the thresher, which is a foot-operated thresher for both rice and wheat.

After rice and wheat are harvested, the grains are separated from the stalks by threshers.

Then comes the windmill. The grains threshed by the thresher are put into the windmill to blow away the empty husks, debris, weeds, etc., making it easier to shell the grains.

After the grains are husked, they are blown again with a windmill to separate the grains from the husks.

Then comes the shelling machine.

She has already finished drawing the drawings for the first two machines, and now the only thing left is the shelling machine at the end.

According to the book “The Exploitation of the Works of Nature”, “Rice husks are used for rice husking.”

Rice huller: Its shape is slightly like graphite, and it consists of an upper mortar, a lower mortar, a rocker arm and a support. When working, the lower mortar is fixed, and the upper mortar is pushed by manpower to rotate, and the rice husks are separated from the rice grains by rubbing with the molars.

With these three tools, it will be more convenient for farmers when high-yield wheat and rice are promoted nationwide.

Li Jiaojiao drew every stroke, carefully comparing it with the contents in the book, and marking the patterns and sizes of each small component.

……

outside room.

Several adults were arranged to sit under a big tree beside the pond. There were ice basins around them, and the table was filled with various freshly picked fruits, iced watermelons, and refreshing fruit drinks.

As the Minister of Revenue, Shangshu Meng went to the farm to see all the crops on Princess Fuyao's farm. He never expected that when he arrived at the farm, he didn't see any people, but saw a yard full of various fruits.

What is this tempting red thing that the maid cut into small pieces and served to us?

Minister Meng was full of questions, but luckily Minister Lin asked for him, "Miss Suxin, this thing looks unfamiliar. Is it a newly ripened fruit?"

"My lord, this is called watermelon. The girl picked it herself last night and froze it overnight. It tastes very good. There are only so many left. You can try it." Su Xin had a proud look on her face. There was nothing that her girl could not do. This fruit called watermelon should be a fruit from heaven. They were all lucky enough to have the chance to taste it because of the girl's blessing.

"How do I eat this?" Minister Lin looked up and down at the cut watermelon and felt at a loss as to where to start.

"My Lord, the green part at the bottom is the skin and is not edible. You can pick it up and eat the red flesh."

Upon hearing this, several adults rolled up their sleeves and each took a small piece of watermelon.

Minister Lin and Censor Li had eaten too much of Li Jiaojiao's food, and they were sure that nothing cooked by the princess was unpalatable. Moreover, the food was picked and chilled by the princess herself, which must be even more extraordinary.

Unlike them, Minister Meng had not eaten many fruits, but because he was thick-skinned, he once, together with Zuo Xiang and others, forced a share of the cherries and strawberries sent to the palace in front of the emperor.

He still remembered when he took the cherries and strawberries home, his mother got two, his wife got two, his daughter got two, and he and his son got one each...

But the sweet taste is still unforgettable...

Minister Meng held the cool watermelon in his hands. He felt as if he was holding a gift from the emperor and felt extremely pious. He then took a bite from the tip of the triangular watermelon.

"Hmm..." Minister Meng was stunned, then his eyes widened as he stared at the red fruit in his hand.

The cool feeling when drinking it is like a stream of fresh mountain spring water, which instantly activates every cell in the body, dispels the surrounding heat and irritability, and makes people feel comfortable and relaxed from the inside out.

Then, the watermelon juice bursts in the mouth, a refreshing and non-greasy sweetness that is neither overly ostentatious nor bland, perfectly satisfying the desire for sweet taste in summer.

The sweet taste and the cool touch intertwined to form an indescribable wonderful experience that makes people want more...

The flesh of the watermelon is delicate and has no residue. It melts with a light bite, and the released juice fills your entire mouth with a sweet and cool feeling.

The enjoyment of the taste, coupled with the light fruity aroma of the watermelon itself, makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are in an orchard in the early morning, breathing the fresh air, and feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature.

Eating it in the hot summer is simply an ultimate enjoyment.

The three adults all had the same look of shock, while Suxin, Qingshan and Qinglin on the side were laughing secretly with their heads down.

It turns out that when the ministers in the court ate watermelon, they were not much different from them...
