?Chapter 726: 718. Demolition and the Apple Tree [Three More]_1 Chapter 726: 718. Demolition and the Apple Tree [Three More]_1 This winter melon was really too big and heavy, its green skin covered with a fuzzy layer of pale white frost, fresh in color, but it was quite a burden to lift.

Ultimately, it was Song Tan and Qiaoqiao who put them into the pond to wash them one by one.

Then Seventh Uncle and Wang Xiaoshun, along with Qiaoqiao, who had finished her work, took up their positions at three cutting boards and set about their work. They first sliced the winter melon into rings, then peeled them and cut them into one-centimeter-thick cubes, before finally cutting them into strips of winter melon…

You wouldn’t believe it, but the inside of the winter melon was green with a hint of white and carried a slightly hazy transparency. The small strips piled there were actually quite picturesque.

The large and small basins in the kitchen, recently emptied of beans, were quickly filled to the brim again.

At this end, Seventh Uncle had to rummage through cabinets to gather enough food-grade quicklime, which he then mixed with cold water basin by basin into a large stainless steel barrel, filling it to the top.

He then stirred it diligently with his large spoon until the water above the settled lime became clear. As they kept slicing the melon and filling up basin after basin, the lime water was also ready.

He and Wang Xiaoshun stood aside and instructed Qiaoqiao to scoop the clear water from the top and pour it into the basins, soaking the winter melon strips in it.

In the end, they wrapped each one in plastic wrap and set them aside—the entire barrel of quicklime water was used up, leaving only the white slaked lime at the bottom, which was mostly useless and thus scooped out and discarded.

By the time they finished everything, it was just past six o’clock.
