C36

It was only the start of the fifth month, so it was already not the time for watermelons to come down in large batches. Eating watermelons was already rare, not to mention the super watermelons that were produced in Yang Fann's Space of Jade Pendant and watered with the Spirit Spring 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.

"Fann, are you sure this is a watermelon and not a handicraft?" Village Head Yang Xiangcheng's eyes were as wide as bells ringing. He touched the surface of the watermelon and repeatedly said that he was here today.

With a 'shua' sound, the watermelon was split into two halves. The bright red watermelon suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The emerald skin, gem-like pulp, black pearl like seeds, plus the refreshing sweet fragrance of the melon, the village chief and his wife, who had just finished eating, couldn't help but have a strong urge to scoop them up with their spoons.

After drinking the Spatial Spring Water, Yang Fann's grasp of his strength was just right. Every cut was as if he was measuring it 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 Fann's words woke the village chief and his wife up. They picked up the watermelon and started to eat. Even Yang Xiangdong and his wife, who had already eaten watermelon several times, could not help but eat the watermelon.

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 …" Chief Yang Xiangcheng burped, wiped the watermelon water from the corner of his mouth, and propped up his stomach which was about to sag. He said reluctantly, "Oh, Fann, 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 Fann's chest was thumping loudly, but in his heart, he was screaming 'bad'. He reckoned that his trouble was coming.

Look, Fann, our Poplar Gully is so poor, all those who have some ability have gone out, those who stayed in the village are either old or young, or they are honest people. The watermelons and cantaloupes you bought are all so delicious, how great would it be if our village could also grow them!

Saying this, Yang Xiangcheng couldn't help but glance at the leftover watermelon, and continued while sighing with emotion, "Fann, you have been smart since you were young, and now you have a future. Can you get this kind of watermelon and the seeds of the sweet melon, all the elders and young in the village will be grateful to you for the rest of their lives."

Yang Fann couldn't help but to 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, but these things could be eaten on a small scale.

The key point was that it was impossible for Yang Fann to grow them on a large scale. Not only were these watermelons and cantaloupes bred by Spatial Spring Water, they were also grown by Spatial Spring Water. Otherwise, how could they have such good taste?

Not to mention using Spatial Spring Water to water the plant, even in light breeding, once the scale was big, Yang Fann would not be able to explain it clearly. The relevant departments would definitely ask Yang Fann to hand over the breeding technology in the name of benefiting all mankind, there was no doubt about that.

He had to hand over even a piece of gold that he picked up in his own field, not to mention the technology that could change genes and greatly increase production. If Yang Fann dared to say no, hehe, you know the consequence …

Even if Yang Fann's parents and friends were to suffer together with him, if the news were to be leaked out, even if Yang Fann handed over his Space of Jade Pendant, he wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life for the rest of his life. If you were to hand it over, who would believe you?

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.

Yang Fann had no choice but to deal with the situation. It was already past the time for the watermelon seedlings to grow. Even if he could buy the seeds, he would have to wait until next year to plant them.

"Hehe, I know. Fann, don't be too hasty. 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 easily sell them to me." Yang Xiangcheng said as he pointed at the melon seeds that he vomited out. He said with embarrassment, "Fann, can Uncle take these seeds back and watch 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 Fann had only cut up half of the watermelon. He knew he couldn't finish it, so he left the other half uncut. Now, it was the perfect time for Yang Xiangcheng to carry it back.

"How can I accept this? Such a delicious watermelon, it must be very expensive, right?" Yang Xiangcheng was too embarrassed to eat it all, but the watermelon was too delicious and he was a filial son. Since he had an old lady at home, he couldn't bear to let her taste it.

In the end, Yang Fann didn't tell the Village Head how much a catty a watermelon was worth because he didn't know how much was suitable for him.

After Yang Xiangcheng left, Zhong Runjuan also realized that it was a bit of a waste to let Yang Fann carry the watermelon out. It was not that she was stingy and did not want to part with a watermelon, it was just that Yang Fann had repeatedly told her when he carried the watermelon back.

Even though the countryman was honest, but they knew the principle of being loyal to one's own treasure. Who wouldn't know about the secrecy of such delicious fruits and melons? The Village Chief told Yang Fann to go buy some melon seeds.

If he couldn't complete this task by then, he would definitely complain about it. He might even be pointed at by the back of the villagers and cursed as an ungrateful ingrate. This time, he had really brought a big hot potato for his son!
