Chapter 495 Spring Watermelon Dinner (Monthly Ticket Request!)
"Miao~~"
Walking out of the classroom, the sound of Meng Meng yawning sounded in his ears.
Jing He couldn't help but be speechless.
I almost fell asleep listening to the dream in class?
It's also hard to blame those students. As teachers, we impart knowledge and instill concepts. If they want to sleep, it means they have no talent!
Well, it's definitely not because my classes are too boring.
"I asked you to play with Jiuwei and the others for a while, but you had to follow them yourself." Jing He immediately threw the blame.
"Miao"
Meng Meng drooped his head, with two crystal drops in his eyes.
But only Jing He could see its appearance.
After class and training, Jing He got off work early today.
After all, Dream comes only rarely, so you have to take it out for a spin. Fortunately, after yesterday's "family meeting", the little guys became more and more conscious about their training, and they looked like they wanted to shine in the subsequent competitions.
Even Rotom.
Rotom: I didn’t, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense! (﹏)I just don’t want to be sent on the field and get a beating.
After walking out of the college, Jing He got on his bicycle and rode down the street.
"Calculate the time, the academy will hold the 'Spring Festival' in a while, right? It will be more fun if you come over then."
There was not much traffic on the street at this time, but many shops and shops seemed to be preparing for the "Spring Festival", so Jing He told Meng Meng.
"Miao?"
Spring Festival?
Meng Meng blinked twice and nodded, indicating that he remembered it and would definitely come back next time!
Then it transformed into a chubby Eevee, landed in the basket in front of the car, and lay on Young Kilas' head.
"Yoji."
Youkiras just felt his head sink, but he was not dissatisfied. He and Meng Meng still looked around curiously.
"Go buy some seeds first, and then I'll take you to play."
Riding a bicycle, Jing He came to a seed shop on the street.
Although it is just a seed store, there are quite a lot of seeds inside, including almost all kinds of tree and fruit species, as well as a large number of common tree fruit, flower and grass seeds.
Although his yard was clean, except for a few trees, there was only grass and it was uneven. Jing He decided to beautify it a little.
There is also a flower bed at the door that has been put aside for a while. Before it's too late, plant some seeds and they may bloom in half a month.
The plants in the Pokémon world are still very different from those in Jinghe's original world. The flowering seasons and flowering periods are also completely different. It is even not uncommon for green trees to be shady in autumn and winter.
Even if there are grass-type Pokémon, many plants can grow counter-seasonally, as long as the conditions are right.
After all, mimicry is quite common in the Pokémon world.
"Well, buy some sunflower seeds and plant them by the river," Jing He said to himself.
This saves Gengar from always "bullying" those sunflower monsters and depriving them of their seeds.
"You can also prepare some corn and make popcorn."
Whoever eats Gengar's "Ghost Fire Popcorn" will know.
As for tree fruit seeds
Jing He really hasn't done much in-depth research on the cultivation of tree fruits. Besides, trees are not flowers and plants after all, and their growth cycle is much longer.
Of course, if it grows up, it can be harvested several times a year, which is quite good. Now... forget it.
When the time comes, plant a row of sunflowers in the open space between the back of the garden and the middle of the river, and plant a row of corn at a distance.
We're not afraid of being stolen by people or stray Pokémon, anyway, our naughty ghosts have the final say.
"Miao~!"
Suddenly.
Meng Meng saw the watermelon on a bag of seeds and seemed to recognize it. He pursed his lips and looked like he wanted to eat it.
watermelon?
Jing He was slightly startled.
this season
Not really!
"Want to eat?"
"Miao~Miao~!"
"Yo hoo hoo hoo!"
While Meng Meng nodded, Yukiras also followed his head and started pounding garlic, because he hadn't eaten it either.
"Simple."
After buying the seeds, I walked out of the seed store and went straight to the tree fruit store.
It’s hard to find watermelon in this season, and even if you find it, it may not be delicious because it’s not in season. However, there is a kind of fruit that is almost exactly the same as watermelon – melon watermelon!
Jing He has eaten this kind of tree fruit, and it can be said that it is almost the same as a watermelon.
Except the peel style is a little different.
In fact, there are many such tree fruits, such as pomegranate, tomato, cantaloupe, etc.
The only difference is that they all grow on trees and have some special effects.
However, tree fruits such as melon fruits, golden pillow fruits, and coconut palm fruits have no special effects when eaten alone. If you make energy cubes, they can improve the appearance of some Pokémon. They are trees that are specially used for Pokémon in the Gorgeous Contest. fruit.
Therefore, Jinghe doesn’t use it much.
Moreover, these tree fruits are not only ineffective, but also not cheap. They have little effect and are difficult to plant. These are all reasons.
But there’s nothing better than using it as a substitute for watermelon this season.
Considering that he had a large family, Jing He bought five of them in one go. Geng Gui could pretend anyway.
Then I bought a lot of other relatively more seasonal fruits and some ingredients.
Mew and Youkiras couldn't wait to go home and eat melons, so they didn't stay outside any longer.
Anyway
The Spring Festival will be held soon, and when the dream comes back, it will definitely be more fun than now.
So, Jing He rode his bicycle, took Menghuan and little Kiras for two small laps, and then returned home.
Backyard.
"Jiuwei, these two melons are for you. Chill them, but don't freeze them."
Jing He handed two of the melons to Bing Jiuwei.
Since we are eating watermelons, we must chill the watermelons. The taste of watermelons after chilling is absolutely perfect.
As for eating chilled watermelons in spring,
Anyway, with their stomachs, there is no need to worry at all.
Bing Jiuwei chills watermelons very quickly, and there is no need for a refrigerator at all. Just a few breaths of cold air will be enough.
Of course, this actually requires Bing Jiuwei to have very high control over ice energy.
If it is too cold, the melons will freeze directly, and if it is too long, the flesh inside will wilt, but if the cold air is too small, the outer skin will be cold but the inside will still be warm.
However, Bing Jiuwei still completed it at an extremely fast speed, seemingly easily.
It even took the time to go to the store in front and help the housekeepers add some ice cubes to the refrigerator.
"This is for you to make iced watermelon juice."
Jinghe cut one of the iced watermelons, removed the seeds inside, threw it into the juicer, and stuffed it into Rotom, and the juicer started to "buzz".
Soon, cups of red watermelon juice with the fragrance of watermelon and a hint of cold air were made.
"Miao~!"
"Gengga~!"
"Yoji~!"
One by one, they couldn't wait to pick up the cup and gulp "ton ton ton".
They squinted their eyes, not knowing whether it was because it tasted good or because they were frozen. Menghuan liked it especially. After drinking a cup, she wanted another cup.
Seeing how they liked it, Jinghe smiled slightly.
This is just the beginning.
"This one is an iced watermelon to eat directly."
Jinghe cut another iced watermelon.
"Geng ga~"
Geng Gui took a bite, the crisp taste, sweet but not greasy fragrance, full of juice and the cool feeling made him feel very satisfied.
"Cha~!"
Giant Blacksmith also took a bite of iced watermelon, his eyes rolled around twice, patted Dragonite's knees, and then pointed at it.
Dududududu——
"Seed machine gun" with his mouth moving!
"Woo~!"
Can Dragonite, who was "spitted" on his knee by Giant Blacksmith, bear it?
He also took a bite and spit out seeds "dududududu".
For a while, the garden became a "seed machine gun" battle.
"Mew!!"
Mew immediately followed suit, took a bite of iced watermelon, and then spit out seeds, which fell on Young Gilas' head, making a "tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk" sound.
"Yo, Yoji! (︿)"
Young Gilas looked "desperate".
Not because of being spit out by Mew, but because
It turns out that you have to spit out seeds when eating watermelon? !
It didn't know at all!
It only knew that it tasted delicious, fresh and juicy, and then... and then there was nothing else.
Jing He couldn't help laughing.
"I told you not to eat ginseng fruit."
Ginseng fruit?
Little Kiras tilted his head, what is it?
"Here, you have to taste it carefully this time." Jing He cut another piece for the little guy.
This time, little Kiras learned his lesson and joined the "Seed Machine Gun" Corps.
The giant forger wore half a hollowed-out watermelon rind on his head and swung a hammer.
"Cha!" (I am the Watermelon Knight!)
"Horo!" (I am the Watermelon Vanguard!)
The martial arts bear master also wore a hat made of half a watermelon.
The giant forger bowed to it in a serious manner.
"Cha~~" (I have heard of you for a long time~)
The martial arts bear master also bowed.
"Hurry~~" (Dog Yang, Dog Yang~~)
Jing He: "."
"Gen Ga?"
Seeing this, Gengar also wanted to wear it, but found that his head was too big and couldn't fit in.
On the other hand, Dream and Young Kiras each had one.
And the blunt angle on Young Kiras's head, coupled with its own color, looks more fitting, quite like Watermelon Taro.
You guys are still good at playing. Jing He muttered in his heart.
"Don't take it all to play, I still have to make food for you."
Watermelon rind is a good thing!
"Salt Lord, give me some salt." Jing He called.
"Hung"
The Salt Stone Giant was very conscious, and he waved a handful of it casually, highlighting a luxury.
The watermelon rind tastes good after pickling. If you use the salt of the Salt Stone Giant, it not only tastes better, but also pickles very quickly.
After all, the signature of the Salt Lord is salt pickling.
"Watermelon jelly!" While salting, Jing He made other food.
When they heard about watermelon jelly, the little guys immediately put away their "seed machine guns" and came over one by one.
Later.
Watermelon shaved ice, watermelon popsicles, fried watermelon rinds, etc.
Even the seeds of watermelon were not spared, and with the cooperation of Blue Blade Ghost, they were watermelon seeds.
The spring watermelon feast also has a unique flavor.
Night fell.
Blue Blade Ghost lit a bonfire, and Gengar brought the TV down from upstairs and connected it to Rotom.
Everyone held a handful of watermelon seeds, in addition to those made by themselves, there were also those bought on the street, otherwise there would not be enough for so many Pokémon at home.
Amid the sound of "crackling", everyone watched TV together and ate watermelon seeds.
Laughed together when seeing something funny, hugged together when seeing something scary, and smiled when seeing something warm.
Actually.
When Jinghe came to the Pokémon world, he didn't really have much thought of becoming a trainer or one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
It was enough to spend every day with his own Pokémon quietly and happily.
Of course.
Now working together towards a stronger direction is another kind of happiness.
