Chapter 973 Eating Dragon Fruit

Chapter 973 973. Eating dragon fruit

Song Tan: ...

There are two big pieces of strawberries in my greenhouse. Why do I have to eat the remaining ones after picking out the seeds if I want to eat one?

"I don't want to eat it." She is a farmer with backbone.

"I want to eat it!" Qiao Qiao raised the crimson strawberry in her hand: "Teacher Song, can you take the seeds now? I want to eat it now."

Professor Song: ...

"Okay, okay."

He also took the scissors and cut off two ripe Zuo He snow rabbits neatly: "Let's go home and I will teach you how to take out the seeds."

"I can do it!" Qiao Qiao was proud: "Brother Yanping taught me!"

Ah?

Now it was Zhang Yanping's turn to be puzzled: "When did I teach you?"

"I taught you." Qiao Qiao vowed: "Brother Yanping brought back a box of dragon fruit after the summer vacation. You said that the seeds inside were not edible, so I picked them out when I ate them."

Everyone: ...! ! !

Zhang Yanping was confused and wanted to laugh: "No, did you really pick it?"

"No." Qiao Qiao said dejectedly: "This dragon fruit grows seeds too much, more than strawberries! I picked it for a long time and was tired. I didn't want to eat it anymore, so I shared it with Datian and the others."

After saying that, he felt guilty again: "I didn't pick out the seeds when I gave it to them, but I checked and they were all fine."

What to say? Now the whole greenhouse is filled with a stagnant atmosphere. Everyone kept their mouths shut, fearing that someone would laugh without paying attention.

Then Qiao Qiao's precarious self-esteem might collapse.

After thinking about it, he had to cast his eyes on Zhang Yanping-look how bad this man is, he has the face of a gangster boss, and his deeds are more cruel than those of a gangster boss. How can he deceive children like this? !

Even Xin Jun couldn't help but open his mouth, and after thinking for a long time, he changed the words that were about to come out:

"Yes! Qiao Qiao did a good job - there are some unnecessary but very tedious things. We consider that the joy of eating it will not offset the hard work, and it is right to give up in time."

God knows how much effort he had to put in not laughing! If you don't believe it, look at the corners of the other people's mouths twitching, and each of them pretended to stare at the green leaves beside them, as if they were embroidered with flowers.

"Also, don't worry, like this kind of fine-grained seeds, other people in the world don't have patience, and they don't pick seeds when eating."

"Next time you meet it, you can also eat it openly."

Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah! I thought I was too lazy so I didn't want to pick it."

Then he shook his head: "I don't eat it, I picked a small piece and tasted it, it's not as delicious as radish."

The topic was finally successfully diverted while everyone held back their laughter.

Professor Song opened his mouth, and when they left the greenhouse, he couldn't help asking again: "How do you take out the seeds from the dragon fruit?"

He seemed to have a short breath, which made Qiao Qiao nervous.

"My mother used to pick out the yellow leaves and sticks in the tea leaves with a thin and long clip. Just use that clip to pick out the seeds one by one."

He also enthusiastically shared his experience: "Dragon fruit has too many seeds, so when we take out the seeds, we have to cut the slices thinly, so that we can get them cleanly. Otherwise, some seeds are in the middle and can only be found after taking a bite."

Very good, everyone imagined the scene, and really felt that this topic could not be continued for a little longer, otherwise it would really lose its image in front of Qiao Qiao.

Professor Song, who was responsible for the important task, cleared his throat: "Dragon fruit seeds can be taken out like that... cough, but strawberry is too cumbersome. I will teach you a simple and quick method that is not easy to damage the seeds."

"Okay." Qiao Qiao has always been very respectful of new knowledge.

However, it is not difficult to extract seeds from strawberries. When Professor Song called, everyone came over to take a look. The steps are also very simple - prepare a paper towel, then use a knife to carefully peel off the strawberry skin, and then spread it flat on the paper towel.

The strawberry juice quickly soaked the paper towel, and the fragrance spread further.

"Don't say it, it really has the fragrance of yellow peach and strawberry." Song Tan murmured, still not understanding why this smell was cultivated.

"Isn't it very simple?"

Professor Song pointed to two paper towels placed on the cardboard.

The fruit of Saga Snow Rabbit is big, and two strawberries have densely covered the entire paper. The fruit of Zhenhong Meiling is a circle smaller, and there is only one fruit, so only half of it is used.

In the bowl in front of him, three peeled and exquisite strawberries are waiting for others to enjoy.

Professor Song smelled the fragrant aroma, and at this moment, he couldn't help moving his throat. But he is old, and it is really embarrassing to compete with children for food.

What's more, these are strawberries that have been seeded - will you still have the face to tell others about it?

Adults struggle to maintain their precarious face, wanting to eat but struggling. But Qiao Qiao doesn't care at all. At this moment, he reaches out and picks up the strawberry, and then "Ah Wu" puts it into his mouth, and then exclaims incoherently:

"It's delicious, it's delicious! It's 100 times more delicious than the strawberries I planted before!"

He looked at Professor Song with admiration: "Teacher Song, no wonder you chose them, they are really delicious!"

Professor Song: ... Is it possible that although this strawberry is delicious, it is not as delicious as others?

Alas, speaking of this taste, it is really another unsolved mystery.

On this side, Zhang Yanping stared at the two seeds and couldn't help sighing: "It looks like the silkworm eggs left over from raising silkworms when I was a child."

Xin Jun couldn't bear it anymore and closed his eyes: "If you haven't learned metaphors well, then don't use metaphors."

Zhang Yanping was so wronged: "Why? Is my metaphor not vivid and realistic enough?" This must be Xin Jun who was angry that he fooled Qiao Qiao and deliberately found fault!

But the problem is, no one knows why Qiao Qiao's little brain is not smart when it comes to dragon fruit?

He looked at Professor Song again with a snort: "I think I've seen the next step in the video. Do we need to spray water and some antibacterial, and then use paper towels to germinate?"

Professor Song was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, the seeds have just been taken, and they need to be given a dormant period, so that the germination rate and survival rate will be much higher."

"As for germination, there is no need. This fire-burning room is quite dry, so just put them in the room for a day or two. Wait until the whole piece of paper is dry, and then carefully rub the seeds off with your fingers..."

He explained very carefully: "The seeds taken out in this way will not be damaged, and they can just enter a short dormancy. When the temperature is right, just spread them directly in the soil."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it: "I hope the characteristics of these seedlings can be stabilized."

Update 2, good night. It's been too cold recently.
