Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 17 Re-entering the Black Market
The next day, eat, bask in the sun, eat, bask in the sun, eat, sleep!
Day three, ditto!

Li Weidong's days of laying flat are always so simple and unpretentious.

Maybe I will go out for a stroll occasionally to blend in with this era.

But every night, he will work hard to farm in the game farm.

Looking at the rapidly ripening pumpkins, all the hard work has turned into relief.

As long as you keep lying down and basking in the sun, there will be white steamed buns, eggs, and meat.

So on the third day, when the appointed day arrived, he got up from the bed before dawn.

"Second brother, are you going to the black market again?"

Suddenly, Li Weibin's faint voice came from behind.

"Correct."

Li Weidong didn't turn on the light, and got dressed in the dark.

"Second brother, can you take me there?" Li Weibin probed.

"No, just wait at home honestly and bring you eggs."

Li Weidong refused without thinking.

take him there?
What a joke.

Is it true that Zhang Xiuzhen has no desires?
"Oh."

Li Weibin's character never knows how to resist, and he tucks himself back into bed again.

In the past three days, the energy gained from basking in the sun was a little less than expected, mainly because he also felt uncomfortable after basking in the sun for a long time.

He can't imagine what Xia Tian will be like.

Is it possible to be exposed to the sun?

But that would be deadly.

Last night, Li Weidong counted on the farm and ripened 18 pumpkins in total.

This time, he planned to exchange another twenty eggs, but the main goal was still the agreed ten catties of wheat.

After all, with seeds, there are infinite possibilities.

Otherwise, what kind of family would it be to change tens of catties of flour a month?
Then Hou San is such a shrewd person, it's no wonder he doesn't doubt it.

The point is, he can't keep moving pumpkins to the black market.

In addition, the cost performance of pumpkin is too low, it can be used as the first pot of gold, but with wheat seeds, there is no need to waste time.

With the experience of last time, this time Li Weidong directly packed two pumpkins in a broken sack and went straight to the uncle who exchanged eggs.

People stopped him from time to time on the road, asking what was in his bag.

Regarding this, Li Weidong didn't hide it, and opened the sack directly to let the other party take a look.

Although some people asked about the price, most people didn't care.

Still in that position, still that middle-aged man.

When the other party saw Li Weidong coming, he got up straight away, keeping his eyes on the sack.

"Uncle, do you still want to change?" Li Weidong asked.

"Change."

The middle-aged man nodded, and asked casually: "Your pumpkin tastes pretty good, and it's also sweet. It shouldn't be a nearby variety, right?"

"Uncle, to tell you the truth, an old uncle of mine works in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This is a new variety carefully cultivated by them. It has not been officially promoted yet, and it is still in the confidential stage. Please don't talk nonsense when you take it back. "

Li Weidong moved closer and explained with a suppressed voice.

Hearing his words, the middle-aged man's pupils shrank obviously, and a little joy appeared on his face.

"Little brother, if we grow these pumpkin seeds in the countryside, will they be successful?"

"Should it work?"

In this regard, Li Weidong is not sure.

In fact, this pumpkin is the common pumpkin species currently on the market, and it only grows so big after being cultivated on the game farm.

As for whether there is genetic optimization or mutation, he is not clear.

"Uncle, to be honest, this pumpkin seed was given to me by my uncle, and it was used as an experiment for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Since it is an experiment, there must be certain risks, but don't worry, no matter how bad it is, it cannot be better than the current market. The pumpkin on the table is just about right."

Li Weidong's last words can still be guaranteed.

Isn't the so-called cultivation of seeds the optimization of planting from generation to generation?

A long time in the game farm, to some extent, can be regarded as an optimization.

And even if it doesn't work, these pumpkin seeds can at most return to their original shape, and it's impossible to shrink them any further.

"That's it, that's it."

After getting the answer, the middle-aged man was also satisfied.

The last time he brought a pumpkin back, some people thought that the pumpkin was too big, so it shouldn't taste good.

At that time, he thought that it would be enough to fill his stomach, and he could just make do with it if it didn't taste good.

Unexpectedly, there is a very special fragrance when steamed, and it tastes far better than the usual pumpkin, and it also fights hunger.

Originally, he was thinking of drying and frying pumpkin seeds as snacks for the children, but his wife's inadvertent words woke him up.

Yes, such a good variety of pumpkins, why not keep the seeds and grow them yourself next year?
Not only do they grow it themselves, but they also mobilize the whole village to grow it together, so that next year's pumpkin harvest may be doubled, and everyone will no longer have to go hungry.

After discussing with the eldest brother who is the village director, this idea became even stronger.

Then, he collected all the eggs he could receive in the village.

He even came yesterday, but it's a pity that Li Weidong didn't wait.

For this reason, he also rejected several people who offered to exchange cornmeal for eggs.

After confirming that the pumpkin seeds can continue to be planted, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Little brother, your pumpkin is really good, can you give me some more? I brought 52 eggs today."

"so much?"

Li Weidong was also quite surprised, and he didn't know where the other party had such courage.

"No more pumpkins?" The middle-aged man asked worriedly.

"Yes, but there are so many eggs, I can't finish them in a while."

Li Weidong was a little embarrassed. Originally, he only planned to exchange 20 eggs this time, and exchange the rest for wheat seeds and flour. If he could meet a butcher, he could also exchange some.

"You can keep it if you can't finish it, little brother, please help me, this time I will be cheaper, 52 eggs for you four pumpkins."

The middle-aged man is obviously willing to go all out. For the pumpkin seeds, even if he suffers a little, it is worth it.

"To tell you the truth, it's really not easy in our countryside. Throughout the year, you can count the days with enough food on your fingers. These pumpkin seeds can be said to be the hope of our whole village next year, so I implore you Please help me."

Hearing his words, Li Weidong shook his head.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man's face was full of frustration.

"Uncle, I think it's better to use the last price, 50 eggs for five pumpkins, and I'll buy the remaining two eggs."

Li Weidong can make Widow Qin pay for eggs, or beat Liu Guangtian into a pig's head, or even bully others.

But at the very least, he still has a conscience.

What's more, no matter in the previous life or the original owner's life, he was born in the countryside, so he knows very well that most people there are still very simple, and it is really difficult.

Therefore, he doesn't mind helping each other if he can.

But that's all for now.

He will not give all the pumpkins to the other party just because he is moved for a moment.

That is not loyalty, but a convulsion in the head.

"Really? Thank you, thank you."

The middle-aged man originally thought that Li Weidong would not agree, but he turned around and was as happy as a child.
