It was only May now, so it was already not the season for watermelons to come down in large batches. Eating watermelons was already rare, not to mention the super watermelon that came from Yang Fan's jade pendant and was poured with spirit spring water.
It was needless to say that just the appearance of the watermelon, which weighed more than 100 jins, was enough to stun the Village Head and his wife into silence. The sight of the watermelon, which weighed more than 100 jins, was enough to frighten the Village Head and his wife.
"Xiaofan, are you sure this is a watermelon and not a handicraft?" Village Head Yang Xiangcheng's eyes were as wide as bells. He reached out his hand to touch the surface of the watermelon, clicking his tongue in amazement as he repeatedly announced that he was here today.
With a swish, Yang Fan split the watermelon into two halves, and bright red melons appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The jade-like skin, gem-like flesh, the black pearl like seeds, and the refreshing sweet fragrance of the melon made the village chief and his wife, who had just finished eating, feel a strong urge to start eating again, wishing that they could eat half of it with spoons.
After drinking the Space Springs, Yang Fan's mastery of the skill was just right. Every slash was measured with a ruler, and the watermelon cut out was thin and neat, adding to the charm of the watermelon.
"Haha, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, hurry up, this is a high-tech product that I got my people to bring back from overseas. If we miss out on this village, we won't have this shop anymore!"
Yang Fan's words caused the village chief and his wife to wake up from their stupor. They picked up the watermelon and began to eat it, and even the couple, who had already eaten watermelon several times, could not help but eat it.
Suddenly, the room was filled with the sound of eating watermelons. No one had the time to talk because half of the hundred pound watermelon had been eaten by the five of them. And this was when they were already full.
"Ugh …" Village Head Yang Xiangcheng burped, wiped the watermelon water from the corner of his mouth, supported his stomach that was about to sag, and asked, "Xiaofan, your uncle wants to discuss something with you, I wonder if it's appropriate?"
"Second Uncle, if you have something to say, then just say it. What are you still discussing? If you say it, then don't you find it strange?" Yang Fan's chest was thumping loudly, but in his heart, he was screaming 'Oh no!'. He reckoned that his trouble was about to arrive.
"It's like this, Xiaofan, look at how poor our Poplar Valley is, if you have any skills, you can leave now. Those that stay in the village are either old or young, or they're honest, the watermelons and cantaloupes you bought are all so delicious, if only our village could grow them too!"
With that, Yang Xiangcheng couldn't help but glance at the leftover watermelon, and he continued to ruefully sigh: "Xiaofan, you've been very smart since young, and now that you're promising, you should be able to obtain this kind of watermelon, as well as the melon seeds. All of us in the village will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives."
Yang Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He knew that as long as he took out the vegetables and fruits in the space, there would definitely be a day like this.
The key point was that it was impossible for Yang Fan to grow them on a large scale. These watermelons and melons were not only bred using Spatial Springs, but were also grown using Spatial Springs. Otherwise, how could they have such good taste?
Not to mention using Spatial Springs to water the plant, even if it was just light breeding, once the scale of the plant was big, Yang Fan wouldn't be able to explain it clearly. The relevant departments would definitely use the name of benefiting all mankind to get Yang Fan to hand over his breeding technique.
He even had to hand over a piece of gold from his own field, not to mention the ability to change genes and greatly increase production. At that time, if Yang Fan dared to say no, hehe, you know the consequence …
Then again, even if the authorities did not come looking for Yang Fan, the greed in their hearts would be enough to crush him into dust, and perhaps even Yang Fan's parents and friends would suffer together with him. If this news were to leak out, even if Yang Fan handed over the jade space, he wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life for the rest of his life.
Second Uncle, I'll try my best, these things are all foreign breeds, and it's not like you don't know about those foreigners blocking technology, I think it would be very difficult to buy the seeds, so try your best, Second Uncle, don't hold too high of a chance.
Feeling helpless, Yang Fan had no choice but to deal with the situation. In any case, the time for growing watermelon seedlings had already passed. Even if he could buy a seed, he would still have to wait until next year to plant it.
"Hehe, I know. Xiaofan, don't be too anxious. If you can't do it, then bring it down. Uncle knows that these are all good treasures. I'm not an idiot, so I won't sell them to you so easily." As Yang Xiangcheng spoke, he pointed at the melon seeds he had vomited and said with embarrassment, "Xiaofan, can Uncle bring these seeds back so that we can see them next year?"
"Alright, no problem. Just take the melon seeds with you. Carry the other half of the watermelon back to our family for a taste." Yang Fan had only cut half a watermelon and knew that he wouldn't be able to finish it all. The other half hadn't been cut yet, and now it was the perfect time for Yang Xiangcheng to carry him back.
"How can I accept this? Such a delicious watermelon, it must be very expensive, right?" Yang Xiangcheng was too embarrassed to eat and carry the watermelon, but the watermelon was too delicious. He was a filial son and had a mother at home, so he could only hold onto his nose and leave with half of the watermelon in his arms.
In the end, Yang Fan didn't tell the Village Chief how much a catty a watermelon was worth because he didn't know how much was suitable for him. He told it to be high and mighty, showing off and making it cheap, what if the Village Chief asked him to buy more watermelons for him?
After Yang Xiangcheng left, Zhong Runjuan also realized that it was a bit of a waste for her to let Yang Fan carry the watermelon out. It wasn't that she was stingy and didn't want to part with the watermelon, it was just that when Yang Fan carried the watermelon back, he repeatedly told her that it was best to eat these things at home.
Even though the villagers were honest, they knew how to keep such precious fruits to themselves. Who didn't know that such delicious fruits were confidential? The Village Head told Yang Fan to go buy some seeds; it was almost an impossible task.
If he couldn't complete this task by then, he would definitely complain about it. He might even be pointed at in the back by the villagers and cursed as an ungrateful ingrate. This time, he had really brought a huge headache for his son!
