Qin Lin moved the three Quality 2 watermelons aside.
Now he wanted to see if these Quality 2 watermelons could truly control people's taste buds.
He picked up a watermelon, carried it to the front, picked up a knife, and cut it in half. He put one half in the refrigerator and cut the other half into slices.
Just as he put down the knife, Qin Lin was astonished to find a black dog squatting beside him, stretching its neck to look at the cut watermelon.
"Damn it, you just show up whenever you want, acting like you own the place," Qin Lin couldn't help but complain when he saw the black dog.
However, with his income about to exceed ten thousand a day, his mood was good. He picked up a slice of watermelon for himself and tossed one to the black dog, considering it lucky.
Qin Lin took a bite of the watermelon in his hand, and his eyes immediately lit up.
This Quality 2 melon was surprisingly delicious. One bite filled his mouth with sweetness, and the juice flowed freely, yet it wasn't cloyingly sweet. The texture was also extremely crisp, making it perfect with the juice.
The key was that after one bite, there was a lingering fragrance to savor.
Was this a "Aftertaste +2" attribute?
It felt like eating a watermelon was like eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
This was definitely much better than Quality 1 watermelons.
He didn't know about others, but in college, he had eaten an imported special watermelon bought by a rich second-generation roommate. That watermelon tasted good, but compared to this, it was trash.
Moqing would definitely like this melon.
Qin Lin immediately crunched through the slice of watermelon in his hand. Just as he was about to pick up another slice, he noticed the black dog had also finished its slice. It seemed to be too delicious, and this time it was so eager that it reached out its paw towards the watermelon on the table.
Seeing Qin Lin look over, it whimpered and cowered back, looking at Qin Lin with pleading eyes.
Qin Lin's brow furrowed. This black dog dared to reach for the table? This was something a pet dog would do.
Did this dog not know its place, or had it gotten too big for its britches?
Qin Lin ignored the shameless black dog and picked up another slice of watermelon to eat. This melon was truly fragrant.
After finishing a slice, there was movement at his feet. The black dog was rubbing its head against his leg, grinning and looking at him with a fawning expression.
"What the hell..." Qin Lin was speechless. Had this dog become sentient? Was it trying to pull a stunt like this?
Looking at its expression, he felt bad not giving it more melon, so he tossed it another slice, and solemnly warned the black dog, "This is the last slice, there's no more!"
This was even more delicious than imported special watermelons. Giving two slices to a dog, how many people hadn't even tasted an imported special watermelon? It could be said that 99% of the people in Youcheng County hadn't tasted one, let alone this even more delicious Quality 2 watermelon.
Qin Lin quickly finished another two slices of watermelon. After the black dog finished its slice, it obediently lay down at the entrance of his shop, happily exposing its belly.
Qin Lin now had nothing to do, so he closed the shop door again and entered the game, planning to explore the game world.
This Story of Seasons game wasn't just a farm; the map was quite large. Outside, there was a town and a port, with mountains behind it...
Qin Lin entered the game and walked towards the farm exit, intending to go outside the farm to look around. But as he reached the entrance, he found an invisible wall blocking him; he couldn't get out at all.
This seemed to be some kind of restriction.
He had no choice but to wander around the farm. There were no obstacles within the farm's boundaries. There were fields overgrown with weeds, animal pens waiting to be repaired, empty spaces waiting for factories to be built, and a river that flowed through the farm...
After spending some time getting a general understanding of the farm's scope and layout, Qin Lin exited the game.
As the sun began to set, Market Street also became lively, the time for preparing dinner fruits and vegetables.
Qin Lin looked at the game screen in his mind. The watermelons on the 24 plots of land had all ripened. He immediately controlled his game character to harvest the watermelons and put them in the storage room. At the same time, he cleared the withered watermelon vines and replanted watermelon seeds, so another batch would ripen by tomorrow morning.
However, to truly achieve ten thousand yuan in daily income, he needed new sales channels for his watermelons.
Given the demand from the fruit stores in the WeChat group, the yield of over 400 watermelons from 24 plots could only satisfy one batch a day at best.
This was limited by their store locations. The fixed customer base for such small private shops was about a 5-kilometer radius.
Even the customer base of Market Street was limited because there was no large enough parking lot. Most people would choose to go to the commercial plaza in East City, where the largest Darunfa Supermarket in the county town was located, with ample parking.
Just as he was thinking, he received a message on WeChat.
Moqing, my wife: "I'm back at the bureau, remember to pick me up after work."
Seeing the WeChat message, Qin Lin smiled and replied, then decisively closed the shop and went home. He took a good bath at home before going out again and rode his small electric scooter downstairs.
The Youcheng County Tax Bureau was located in the riverside area of East City. By the time Qin Lin arrived on his electric scooter, it was almost 5 o'clock. The tax bureau was already closed, as it was a typical nine-to-five office.
Soon, he saw Zhao Moqing walking out. She had a delicate face, wore only light makeup, and her pair of lively peach blossom eyes added a lot of charm.
Zhao Moqing wasn't a stunning beauty, but on the street, she was the type of woman many men would pursue.
The key was that once two people's eyes met, the other person was the best and most beautiful.
Just as Qin Lin was about to greet her, he saw a young man with slicked-back hair, who looked somewhat handsome, chasing out of the building: "Moqing, we're going the same way, let me give you a ride."
As the young man spoke, he didn't forget to press the car key in his hand, and an Audi flashed its lights, showcasing his wealth.
He naturally wanted to pursue Zhao Moqing.
Although they were both ordinary civil servants, with the financial support of his parents and older sister and brother-in-law, he had more advantages than his peers who had just graduated for one or two years. He had spent 5,000 yuan of his salary to buy an Audi.
"Chen Hao, no need, my husband is here to pick me up." Zhao Moqing felt a bit awkward being pursued in front of Qin Lin. To avoid any misunderstanding from Qin Lin, she walked towards Qin Lin after speaking and got on his electric scooter.
"Let's go!" Moqing said.
Qin Lin nodded and started his electric scooter, leaving.
Chen Hao watched the departing scooter, but subconsciously glanced at the car keys in his hand, feeling puzzled. Where did he lose?
More importantly, how did she get a husband?
What a fine cabbage, ruined by a pig.
The electric scooter drove onto the street, the wind rushing past, making it feel as exhilarating as driving at eighty miles per hour.
Moqing held Qin Lin's waist tightly, pressing intimately against his back, and asked, "I said I wanted to eat watermelon, did you get some?"
"Mm, it's a surprise for you." Qin Lin nodded, tacitly avoiding the topic from earlier.
This was basic trust. If he got jealous every time his wife was pursued, he might as well find an ugly woman or stay single.
Back at the shop, Zhao Moqing eagerly asked, "Where's the surprise?"
Qin Lin immediately took out the Quality 2 watermelon he had put in the refrigerator, cut it, and handed a slice to Moqing. "Try it."
Zhao Moqing took the watermelon and took a small bite. A rich fragrance filled her mouth, followed by an indescribable sweetness that flooded her taste buds.
"Qin Lin, why is this watermelon so delicious?" Zhao Moqing exclaimed in surprise. She had never eaten such delicious watermelon in her life.
"I knew you liked watermelon, so I prepared this especially for you." Qin Lin said, picking up a slice for himself and taking a bite. He found that the watermelon tasted even better after being chilled.
If this Quality 2 watermelon could be mass-produced, it could be sold at the price of imported specialty melons.
"Give me another slice." Zhao Moqing turned into a little foodie. She usually controlled her diet for the sake of her figure and wouldn't eat too much watermelon, even if she liked it. But in front of this delicious watermelon, she couldn't help herself and ate several slices in a row.
