Chapter 296: This is Totally Feasible!
Chapter 296: This is Totally Feasible!
As expected, the moment Fu Yao laid eyes on the giant pumpkins, she immediately thought of the Pumpkin House.
With pumpkins this big, if they hollowed them out, added a door and windows, wouldn't it be like a scene straight out of a fairy tale?
Moreover, she instantly thought of the pumpkin carriage from fairy tales. Isn't it the pumpkin carriage that Cinderella rides in?
If they decorated it beautifully and added a carriage, it would definitely attract many girls who would want to take photos.
Zhang Lin was also amazed by the size of the giant pumpkins.
With such a size, they could be used as houses.
Furthermore, considering the giant pumpkins' attribute of Reinforced +2, it seemed entirely possible to build houses with them.
Could their farm develop a new project?
Especially considering the situation on the pasture.
Once the pasture was developed, wouldn't it be possible to create a Pumpkin House accommodation area over there?
The Pumpkin Prairie was also a scene from a fairy tale.
It would be very appealing.
As their minds wandered, various ideas sprouted.
"Boss, these pumpkins should be ripe now," Liu De said to Zhang Lin at this moment.
"Cut open this pumpkin and let's see its condition inside," Zhang Lin instructed.
The pumpkins they had destroyed earlier were obviously not ripe, so their rinds weren't hard enough.
The key point was that these giant pumpkins didn't have any flesh inside, or the flesh was extremely hard and sparse, like dry wood, so dry that it could be used to start a fire.
Upon receiving the order, Liu De immediately went to get a special small electric saw.
However, this time, he also discovered that it wasn't as easy to break open this pumpkin as the previous ones.
The pumpkin's skin was as hard as solid wood, and when the saw cut into it, it emitted layers of dust.
Liu De was astonished, "Boss, isn't this too hard? We can directly use it to build houses."
"Then let's give it a try and see if we can build a house," Zhang Lin ordered directly.
Liu De was taken aback, "Boss, I was just talking casually, but you're taking it seriously?"
"Do it!" Zhang Lin said decisively.
Hearing the order, Liu De could only nod and start working.
In no time, he cut open a hole in the pumpkin, and the piece of pumpkin rind he cut off was incredibly hard.
Fu Yao was also surprised and stepped forward, picking up a stone and tapping on the pumpkin rind a few times. The sound of 'papa' indicated it was definitely not the skin of a regular fruit.
Curiously, she walked towards the gap, and through it, she could see the dry, wood-like flesh inside.
It looked completely devoid of moisture, as if it had been thoroughly dried out.
Liu De, holding the special small electric saw, cut through the gap in the pumpkin's skin.
Fortunately, the dry, wood-like flesh inside was easier to cut than the outer skin, and soon, large chunks of flesh were cut away.
This flesh could indeed be used as timber.
One could see the seeds inside, also appearing withered.
"Uncle, can these seeds grow into these giant pumpkins?" Fu Yao asked curiously.
Zhang Lin looked at Ma Jun, as the information on this item only mentioned that it could be planted in the farm with a restriction.
There was no additional information about whether the seeds from the planted pumpkins could be used for further planting.
If he wanted to know, he would have to take these seeds to the warehouse in the core area to check the remarks.
(End of Chapter)However, Ma Jun didn't feel like going through the trouble of drawing a conclusion.
Ma Jun shook his head, "The seeds from those ruined pumpkins I examined earlier are also useless. They're completely withered and dead, and there's no way they can be replanted."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin didn't feel the slightest regret. This meant that only Liyuan Farm could grow these giant pumpkins, and it was their exclusive patent.
Other places wouldn't be able to cultivate these giant pumpkins even if they wanted to.
The most crucial point was that there was no need to cultivate these giant pumpkins for breeding purposes. He could purchase an unlimited amount of them in the in-game procurement market, and they weren't expensive at all, just 100 yuan per catty.
Liu De had already cut off another piece of pumpkin flesh.
After a series of continuous actions, he soon felt breathless and visibly fatigued.
So, he called over some other farmhands hired through the game to help him deal with the giant pumpkin.
It took quite some time for them to cut out all the flesh from the giant pumpkin.
This made the interior of the pumpkin look incredibly spacious.
They further enlarged the opening, creating a doorway.
Zhang Lin and his team then entered directly. With the ample space inside, it didn't feel crowded at all.
He examined the walls; they were a bit rough for now. If they flattened and smoothed the walls and then applied some non-toxic paint, the interior could be beautified significantly.
Moreover, there was enough space to set up a bed, or even a table, leaving ample room for activities.
One could say that the space inside this pumpkin was larger than that of a hotel room.
Later, they could add windows, a bathroom, and other amenities inside the pumpkin, and apart from lacking the attributes of the camping ground, the pumpkin house would undoubtedly provide better accommodation than a tent, and the experience and novelty would be superior.
Zhang Lin instructed Liu De, "Liu De, later I'll give you some giant pumpkin seeds. You're in charge of planting these pumpkins, then hollowing them out completely. I'll have someone come to decorate the pumpkin house afterward."
"Yes, boss," Liu De nodded immediately upon receiving the instruction.
He always followed the boss's instructions to the letter, with a hundred percent compliance.
At this moment, Ma Jun spoke with a hint of accusation, "So, you're saying that someone can obtain seeds, but it's someone else's planting?"
Zhang Lin smiled at this and said seriously, "Ma Jun, aren't the seeds obtained from these pumpkins? Once the pumpkins are grown, there will naturally be seeds."
"I'm telling you, these seeds won't grow anything," Ma Jun was speechless.
Zhang Lin immediately responded, "That's just your assessment of the seeds you tested. It doesn't mean all seeds won't grow. If you test all these seeds and prove that they won't grow, then your statement will be validated."
Ma Jun looked at the dense seeds in the dried-up pumpkin flesh, his face twitching as he said, "Are you not afraid that I'll really test all these seeds?"
"In that case," Zhang Lin thought for a moment and added, "It's probably just the seeds from this particular pumpkin that won't grow, not all seeds from pumpkins."
"..." Ma Jun was completely dumbfounded by this statement.
Damn!
End of Chapter.
