Chapter 5

Qin Lin took out the three Grade 2 watermelons separately.

Now he wanted to see if these Grade 2 watermelons really could make people unable to resist their taste.

He carried one of the watermelons 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.

As soon as he put down the knife, Qin Lin was surprised to find a black dog squatting beside him, stretching its head to look at the watermelon he had cut open.

"Damn, you just come and go as you please, treating yourself like you're part of the family." Qin Lin was speechless when he saw the black dog.

However, with his income about to exceed ten thousand yuan per day, his mood was good. He picked up a slice of watermelon for himself and threw another slice 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 Grade 2 watermelon was surprisingly delicious. One bite filled his mouth with a sweet and fragrant taste, and the juice flowed abundantly without the cloying sweetness of overly sugary watermelons. The texture was extremely crisp, perfectly complementing the juice.

The key was that after one bite, there was a lingering fragrance.

Is this the +2 aftertaste attribute?

It felt like eating a rare delicacy.

This was definitely much better than Grade 1 watermelons.

He didn't know about others, but in college, he had once eaten a special imported watermelon bought by a wealthy roommate. That watermelon was very good, but compared to this one, it felt like garbage.

Mo Qing would definitely love this watermelon.

Qin Lin immediately finished the slice in his hand and was about to pick up another one when he noticed the black dog had already finished its slice. It seemed to be so good that the dog was eager to reach for the watermelon on the table.

Seeing Qin Lin looking at it, the dog whined and crouched back, looking at him pitifully.

Qin Lin frowned. The black dog actually dared to jump on the table, something only a pet dog would do.

Was the dog unaware of its status, or was it getting too cocky?

Qin Lin ignored the shameless black dog and picked up another slice of watermelon, savoring it. The watermelon was truly delicious.

As soon as he finished one slice, the black dog started rubbing its head against his leg, grinning and looking up at him in a flattering manner.

"Damn..." Qin Lin was amazed. Was this dog possessed? Was it trying to charm him?

Looking at its expression, he felt bad not giving it more watermelon, so he threw it another slice and warned it solemnly, "This is the last one, no more!"

This watermelon was better than the imported special watermelon. Giving two slices to a dog, how many people had never even tasted the imported special watermelon? In Youcheng County, 99% of the people had never tasted it, let alone this even better Grade 2 watermelon.

Qin Lin quickly finished two more slices. After the black dog finished its slice, it obediently lay down at the shop entrance, exposing its belly contentedly.

Qin Lin now had nothing to do, so he closed the shop again and entered the game, planning to explore the game world.

This Ranch Story game was not just about the ranch; the map was quite large, with a small town, a port, and mountains in the background...

Qin Lin entered the game and walked toward the ranch exit, intending to explore outside. However, he found an invisible barrier at the door, preventing him from leaving.

This seemed to be some kind of restriction.

He had no choice but to wander around the ranch. There were no obstacles anywhere, with overgrown weeds, fences needing repair, empty plots for building factories, and a river running through the ranch...

After spending some time familiarizing himself with the entire ranch, Qin Lin exited the game.

...

As the sun began to set, the market street became lively, with people preparing vegetables for dinner.

Qin Lin looked at the game interface in his mind and saw that the 24 plots of watermelon had all matured. He immediately controlled the game character to harvest the watermelons and store them, cleared the withered vines, and replanted the seeds, so they would be ready by the next morning.

However, to achieve a daily income of ten thousand yuan, he needed to find new sales channels for the watermelons.

With the demand from the fruit shops in the WeChat group, the 400+ watermelons from 24 plots could only meet one batch per day.

This was due to the location of the shops. These small private shops typically had a fixed customer base within a 5-kilometer radius.

Even the market street had a limited customer base because it lacked a large parking lot. Most people preferred to go to the commercial square in the eastern part of the city, which had the largest RT-Mart supermarket and a large parking lot.

As he was thinking, he received a message on WeChat.

Mo Qing (Wife): "I'm back at the bureau, remember to pick me up after work."

Seeing the message, Qin Lin smiled and replied, then decisively closed the shop and went home. After taking a good shower, he went out, rode his electric scooter downstairs, and set off.

...

The Youcheng County Tax Bureau was in the eastern riverside area. When Qin Lin arrived on his electric scooter, it was about 5 PM, and the Tax Bureau had already closed, being a 9-to-5 office.

Soon, he saw Zhao Moqing walk out. She had a delicate face, wearing light makeup, and her lively almond eyes added a lot of charm.

Zhao Moqing wasn't a stunning beauty, but on the street, she was the type many people would pursue.

The key was that as long as they looked into each other's eyes, the other person was the best and most beautiful.

Just as Qin Lin was about to greet her, a young man with slicked-back hair and a handsome appearance came out of the building: "Moqing, we're on the same way, let me give you a ride."

The young man pressed the car key in his hand, and an Audi flashed its lights, showcasing his status.

He naturally wanted to pursue Zhao Moqing.

Although they were both ordinary civil servants, with the help of his parents and sister-in-law, he had more capital than most recent graduates. He bought an Audi with his 5,000 yuan salary.

"Chen Hao, no need, my husband is here to pick me up." Zhao Moqing was clearly embarrassed to be pursued in front of Qin Lin. To avoid any misunderstanding, she walked to Qin Lin and got on his electric scooter.

"Let's go!" Moqing said.

Qin Lin nodded and started the electric scooter, leaving.

Chen Hao watched the electric scooter drive away and subconsciously looked at the car key in his hand, puzzled about where he had lost.

The key was, how did she have a husband?

What a good cabbage was eaten by a pig.

...

The electric scooter drove down the street, feeling as if it was going at 80 km/h with the wind in their faces.

Moqing tightly hugged Qin Lin's waist, leaning against his back, and asked, "I said I wanted to eat watermelon, did you prepare it?"

"Sure, I have a surprise for you." Qin Lin nodded, tactfully not mentioning what had just happened.

This was the basic trust. Otherwise, if his wife was pursued and he felt uncomfortable, he might as well find an ugly or single person.

Back at the shop, Zhao Moqing asked expectantly, "What's the surprise?"

Qin Lin immediately took out the other half of the Grade 2 watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it, and handed a slice to Moqing. "Try it."

Moqing took the watermelon, took a small bite, and immediately felt a rich fragrance spread in her nose, followed by an indescribable sweetness that invaded her taste buds.

"Qin Lin, how can this watermelon be so delicious?" Moqing couldn't help but be surprised. She had never eaten such a delicious watermelon in her life.

"I knew you liked watermelon, so I prepared it specially for you." Qin Lin said and took a slice for himself, finding it even better after being chilled.

If this Grade 2 watermelon could be mass-produced, it could be sold at the price of imported special watermelons.

"Give me another slice." Moqing turned into a little foodie. She usually controlled her diet for her figure, even if she liked watermelon, she wouldn't eat too much. But in front of this delicious watermelon, she couldn't help herself and ate several slices in a row.
