Chapter 79 Selling Melons
It wasn't long before.

A green plant breaks out from the soil, it absorbs the spiritual energy in the ground wantonly, the slender bud stems go up, first give birth to two round stems and leaves, and then bolt quickly, and in a short while, it has grown to more than a foot long.

Different from the small green vegetables next to it, this spirit melon seedling grows horizontally. After a certain length, the melon seedlings hang down to the ground and wriggle slowly on the surface of the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the melon seedlings grow longer and longer, many melon leaves grow on them, which look extremely fresh and tender.

At the same time, several other spirit melon seeds also began to break through the soil, and several melon seedlings grew together, extending in different directions like five claws.

Generally speaking, melon seedlings can grow to several feet long, and as long as the land is fertile enough, it will continue to grow.However, only growing vines and leaves is not enough. If there is no human intervention, even if the melon seedlings climb everywhere and fill the land, they will not blossom and knot.

Therefore, when the melon seedlings were almost grown, Huaying made a move.

She then found the head of the main vine of a melon seedling, and gently pinched the top melon tip with her hands.After pinching off, it can effectively suppress the problem that the melon seedlings only grow stems and leaves but do not bloom.This action can prevent most of the fertility absorbed by the melon seedlings from the soil from being robbed and wasted by the stems and leaves, suppressing its growth, and promoting its flowering and knotting faster.

After pinching off the top of the main vine, several sub-vines of the melon seedlings will grow rapidly.

After the vines bloom and produce melons, it is necessary to pinch off the tips of the vines after they grow two pairs of melon leaves, so as to ensure that most of the fertilizer absorbed from the soil is supplied to the melons .However, there are exceptions. If the sub-vines do not bloom, repeat this action on the side branches of the sub-vines and grandson vines, so that the grandson vines will bloom and knot.

A melon seedling, including sub-vines and grandchildren, can theoretically bear seven or eight or even a dozen melons, but if you want to ensure that each melon can grow to maturity, you usually have to remove a few melons that are not growing well , leaving only the next part of it.

Huaying wanted to test whether the fertility of the land was sufficient, so she did not remove the extra melons. After all, the land here is different from the outside world. If there is enough nutrition, it can completely supply all the melons to grow to maturity.

For this melon planting, she first wanted to calculate the yield of half a spirit stone, and second, she also wanted to see how the spirit melons grown in this field were different from wild spirit melons.

In the past, ordinary melons and fruits in the world could contain a little spiritual power after being cultivated in this field, so the quality of the spiritual melons in the world of cultivating immortals should also be improved to a higher level.

So, in the next few hours, Huaying took care of these melon seedlings extremely carefully. She was already familiar with this, and she was quite skilled at pinching the tips and beating the leaves. .

If you pay, you will reap, and the growth of Gua Niu is very gratifying. At night, it grows as long as a finger.

During the period, Huaying did not forget to take advantage of the slack time to meditate and practice. Her poor aptitude naturally made it impossible for her to waste a bit of time. Whenever she was free, she would practice for a while, and then get up and go to work when she was busy.

As a result, time passed quickly, and two days later, this small field finally ushered in the harvest season.

I saw that the originally small place has already been covered with green melon seedling stems and leaves, and one can faintly see the blue and yellow melons underneath from the gaps in the leaves.

Huaying stood in the melon field, bent over, and carefully searched under the melon leaves. In order to avoid stepping on the melons, she walked extremely cautiously, carefully observing every step she took.

With a crunching sound, a heavy melon was gently twisted by her, and immediately fell off the melon seedling. She held it up in front of her, sniffing the sweet scent from the melon, with a satisfied smile on her face.

After weighing it, she roughly estimated the weight of this melon, which weighed more than a catty.

But there are still many melons of this size growing in this green melon field.

Huaying was not in a hurry to pick all the melons, but stepped out of the field three times and two times, sat in front of the table and chairs set aside, placed the melons on it, and then cut them all with a knife.

After the melon was split in half, she couldn't wait to enjoy it.

After just one bite, she sensed the extraordinaryness of this melon, her eyes were rounded by surprise, and she ate up the melon in just a few bites, not even the pulp left.

"This melon is far superior to wild spirit melons in terms of its aura and taste. A piece of spirit stone twenty catties must be a loss, even if a piece of spirit stone ten catties is considered a profit."

After eating, Huaying smacked her lips, and couldn't help secretly marveling.

The spirit melon varieties in the world of cultivating immortals are really extraordinary, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary melons and fruits in the world. Eating such a spirit melon is definitely worth several days of penance.

If people find out about this, they shouldn't take the lead.

Thinking of this, Huaying gradually hesitated to take out the melon and sell it.

But it doesn't matter if you don't sell it. She doesn't have spirit stones in her body now. If she doesn't sell the melons in exchange for spirit stones, she won't be able to cultivate more spirit melons in the future.

Now half of the spirit stone powder sown in the field is almost used up. If you don't find a way to get some spirit stone back, this field will soon become a waste field again.

"Be careful about selling melons secretly, try not to attract attention." Limited by the current predicament, Huaying finally decided to set up a stall to sell melons.

Then, she started picking melons.

A total of five spirit melon seeds were planted this time, and all the melon seeds germinated smoothly. Therefore, Huaying harvested about fifty spirit melons, most of which weighed about one catty, and the remaining small part weighed half a kilogram. In the end, after picking all the spirit melons, she made a settlement and counted the weight of all the spirit melons.

"A total of 45 catties of spirit melons, if sold at the price of ten catties per spirit stone, you can get four and a half spirit stones."

Huaying briefly counted with her fingers, and soon became happy, "The cost of half a spirit stone is exchanged for four and a half spirit stones. It takes more than two days. If it takes a month, wouldn't it be a good profit?" Dozens of spirit stones?"

Dozens of spirit stones, this kind of wealth may not be easily available to a great monk in the late stage of Qi training.

You know, the whole body worth of the fourth level of Zhengyi Daoist Qi training is only seven spirit stones.Dozens of spirit stones, if you can get dozens of spirit stones in the account every month, it can even compare to the monthly profit of ordinary shops.

However, considering the overall consumption level of Dongshanfang City, there should not be so many monks who can afford spirit melons, so the specific sales will definitely be a little bit worse, and the price may not even be able to sell for a high price of ten catties of a spirit stone.

After all, if you really want to consider assisting in cultivation, most monks are definitely more willing to save money in exchange for spiritual pills to practice, and the potential customers of Linggua will only be those high-level monks who are not short of money, or rich and powerful families children.

Even so, even if the calculation is less, Huaying's business of selling melons at a stall requires at least a dozen or 20 yuan of Lingshi every month.

Thinking of this, Huaying rubbed her little hands happily, looking eager to try.

Before going out of the stall, she had to make some preparations in advance. She first found a wooden stake, cut the stake into a wooden sign with a sword, and then took a pen and wrote "Linggua Linggua, a piece of [-]" in large characters.

The price of 18 yuan for spirit stones was set by Huaying after careful consideration. It was neither high nor low, and the monks in the market should be able to accept it.

If the price is set too high, it will easily lead to a price but no market, which will inevitably affect sales.

Since she has the spirit field in hand, she is not worried that the production of spirit melons will not keep up, so it is a better choice to exchange the quantity for more spirit stones.
