The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 616 Named Hami Melon

Another copy was kept, and it was thrown to Bao'er while no one was paying attention.

Bao'er happily took it, and said to the master: "Master! Thank you!"

Bao'er picked up the sweet melon and flew to the beam of the main hall and began to eat it.

Eat first!Don't mention how happy Bao'er is!
After taking a bite, he shouted to the master: "Master! Eat it quickly! It's really delicious!"

But Gao Shuang still didn't move his mouth, because Gao Shuang saw that there were still many ministers who had not been assigned to melons, so he ordered Lei Dahai and Yang Wu to share the basket of melons in public.

Many pieces were cut, and every civil and military minister in Lu Wang's palace had a share, and some common people outside the palace also got a small piece.

The tributary melons of the Gan Kingdom bestowed by the Lord made the people of the Lu Kingdom even more proud.

The color of the skin is gray-green, and the stalk is covered with coarse netting. The flesh color of the melon is like crystal jade, luscious and plump, fragrant and mellow, crisp and refreshing.Biting the upper half of the teeth, it was like a layer of sticky honey was smeared on the lips.

After Gao Shuang, his ministers and the common people of Lu State tasted this sweet-as-honey, crisp-like-pear-like, rich-smelling "sacred object", they were all full of praise, but they didn't know where the "sacred object" came from.

Gao Shuang asked his subordinates, General Lu Huangfusong immediately knelt down and replied: "I went to Gan State three years ago and saw this kind of melon. I found this kind of melon strange, but I didn't taste it. As for the name, I don't know." can not say it clearly!"

As soon as Mo Bai on the side heard Gao Shuang's question, he immediately knelt down and answered:

"This is the melon grown in Hazhou of Gan Kingdom. It is a tribute from the subjects of Gan Kingdom. It is specially dedicated to the king, concubine and ministers to enjoy, to show the hearts of the subjects!
We Hawa people call the melons Kuhong and Hazhou Kumul, which means the harvest of melons or the place of high yields. "

After Gao Shuang heard this, he continued happily: "Since Hazhou is a place of abundant melon production, we will use melon as the place name, and name this kind of melon Hami melon!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Bai and the officials all knelt down in the hall, shouted long live three times, and thanked the lord for giving the melon name.Gao Shuang said that the melon in Hazhou, Gansu, has been called Hami melon since then.

Because of the name given by Gao Shuang, Hami melon became famous in the whole Lu country, and it was also spread to Gan country through these twelve envoys.

Not only the melons produced in other parts of Ganzhou and Ganzhou are competing to be called Hami melon, but even a new type of melon that has just been promoted by the Agricultural College in Anyi, Luguo is also called Hami melon.

Gao Shuang and all the ministers of civil and military affairs shared the cantaloupe brought in as a tribute from the Gan Kingdom. Gao Shuang asked Mo Bai and other twelve envoys how they arrived.

At this time, Mobai and other twelve envoys quickly said that they would start from Ganguo, pass through Rongguo, and go all the way to the north with horses to carry them. On the way, 30 days, hundreds of miles a day, one stop a day, and rest at the station .

Since it is the first pilgrimage, it is even more cautious, one stop a day, never delay.

Departing from Gancheng, the capital of the state of Gan, after parting with the king of Gan, passing through Hazhou, carrying Hami melons on horses, passing through Huangtian, Qincheng, and Miaoergou, leaving Xinjiang from Mingshui, and passing through the border of Rongguo. For interrogation, I took the rugged path.

After passing through Mazong Mountain, Zena Banner, Erma, and Suiguo, when Suiguo learned that we were going to visit Lu State, they all let us go, and we were able to enter Lu State!More than 30 days on the way.

Mobai went to the Anyi area of ​​Lu State, unloaded and inspected, and found that all the melons on his load were still intact. Even Wen Yuhuaji, Lei Dahai and Yang Wu who greeted him were very surprised.

It is believed that this is the mighty kindness of Gao Shuang, the lord of the country, the blessing of the gods, and the auspicious omen of Mobai's pilgrimage this time.
