My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

"Mr. Ning, I see that more and more people are gathering around here. Do you want me to send people to evacuate them?" the county magistrate suggested.

Village Chief Ning squinted his eyes and looked from a distance, and found that there were really a lot of people, and there was even a tendency for more and more people to gather.

But he is not worried at all. What he wants is this effect. The more people come today, the easier things will be in Evergreen next.

"No, but I would like to trouble you to help send someone to maintain law and order." Village Chief Ning said.

The other party refused, and the county magistrate didn't want to be a good person in vain. Then he asked Qian Bian to take his token to the city and brought many people over, all to help maintain law and order.

It seems that two pumpkins are definitely not enough, but Village Chief Ning is not trying to make them full.

He calmly said to Mrs. Han next to him: "Chop the melon into small pieces. It's best to cook it all into porridge so that everyone can have a taste." Just taste it, what do you think?Still want to eat enough?

He turned to a farmer next to him and said, "Go and fetch a few more buckets of water. I'm worried that there isn't enough here." It was impossible to add more melons, so Ning Changrong asked him to take four and give them out. If there are many people, the number can be increased to ten at most.

Village Chief Ning pretended not to have seen those words. Two were enough, and taking out the extra would be a waste. No matter how many melons were taken by so many people, it was impossible for each person to get enough.

As long as he lets them taste it and know that pumpkin is a good thing, he has completed Evergreen's mission.

Everyone started working in an orderly manner according to Village Chief Ning's instructions, and the Yamen servants also helped direct everyone to line up.

From a distance, I saw several long queues, with no end in sight.

Everyone was chattering excitedly.

"I don't know what this pumpkin tastes like. It smells a little sweet to me."

"I heard people say that this pumpkin is sweet and filling."

"There are so many of us queuing up for me to see. There are people of all ages and ages in front of us. Can we eat when we wait?" Someone glanced at the front and asked worriedly.

"I don't know, it's okay at home anyway. Even if we are lucky if we eat it, it's still good if we can't eat it and smell it. I've never heard of pumpkin."

"It was brought by a foreigner. I heard that Mr. Ning happened to be kind enough to help the foreigner buy his seeds."

The people at the front could smell the sweeter smell in the air and couldn't help but sniff and stretch their necks to look.

"How long will it take for us to eat it?" Watching those pumpkins being chopped into pieces and poured into the pot, buckets of water were also poured into it, and the entire soup became turbid. It looks really unsightly everywhere.

But smelling the smell in the air, they really couldn't move their eyes away.

Without raising her head, Mrs. Han took a large spoon and kept stirring it into the pot, "Why are you so anxious? Can we do it without you? Just wait."

The man was not annoyed and suggested: "I think the fire is too small. Otherwise, if you add a little more firewood, it will definitely get better."

Mrs. Han's eyes almost rolled to the sky, "Do you know how to cook or I know how to cook? How about you do this job?"

Looking at the big horse spoon handed over by the other party, the man smiled and took a half step back, "I don't understand this." If such precious food was cooked by him, he couldn't afford to pay for it.

"Why are you still yelling after knowing that? Whose family is cooking porridge over a big fire?" Mrs. Han cursed.

As soon as he finished speaking, he paused, thought about it, and then added a piece of firewood.

Seeing the pot boiling, everyone was so excited that they were not even in the mood to talk, they just kept looking ahead.

"Have you brought the bowl you were asked to bring?" Village Chief Ning asked.

The old man next to him is an elder in the village. He often accompanies Village Chief Ning and patrols around the village. He is considered to have a relatively high status. He replied: "Everyone in the village has borrowed their bowls and washed them clean." Village Chief Ning nodded with satisfaction. He nodded, and then asked Mrs. Han: "When will this pumpkin soup be ready?"

Mrs. Han did not dare to scold others as casually as she did to others. She looked at the pot and estimated the time: "You can eat it after waiting for another cup of tea."

When they first moved to Taixi County, almost every household was assigned some pumpkins, and they had the best control over the heat and when they tasted best.

Village Chief Ning stroked his beard with satisfaction and said to the old man next to him: "Let the people from your village come and line up first later."

After all, they have been helping them work for so long, and they are tenants of Evergreen, so they must stay close to their own family first.

After the other party listened, he happily showed off only a few of his teeth.

He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Ning. On behalf of the whole village, I would like to thank Master Ning."

Village Chief Ning waved his hand, "Go get the bowls and prepare them."

The other party quickly ordered the young people around him to tell the whole village the news.

People in the village, regardless of age or sex, as long as they could move, all rushed out of their homes, holding bowls in their hands, waiting in a line next to them eagerly.

Guessing the time, she stirred the pot again. Mrs. Han looked at the other large iron pots and then at the large iron pot in front of her. She took a small bite with a large horse spoon and tasted it. .

Then he nodded and said to Village Chief Ning, "That's it. Eat."

"Get two bowls first."

Mrs. Han immediately took the bowl at her feet and filled two bowls of pumpkin porridge.

Village Chief Ning took it and handed it directly to the county lieutenant who was helping to direct the government officials next to them. The county magistrate had already left because he was busy with other matters.

After the other party thanked him, Village Chief Ning took another bowl and gave it directly to the old man next to him. The other party should give him some face as he was busy with him.

The other party was surprised, and then took it over with great gratitude.

"Thank you, Master Ning."

"Be careful of the burn." He turned to Mrs. Han and said, "Hit everyone in their village first."

The people in the village were all very excited, holding bowls one by one, looking eagerly at Mrs. Han and the others.

Then they lined up one by one and excitedly handed over the bowls they were wearing. Mrs. Han and the others were not stingy, and filled a large bowl.

There was some commotion among the people waiting in line nearby.

"Why should we fight them first? We have been waiting here for so long."

"It's just first come, first served!"

A look of anger flashed across the face of the old man next to Village Chief Ning, and even the young people from the same village who were still lining up couldn't help but retort: ​​"Why can't we be beaten first? We are Mr. Ning's tenants. Logically speaking, You are outsiders!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the two parties immediately started arguing.

"You are saying that Mr. Ning is still from the county. According to the distance between us, those of us who live in the county are closer to him!"
