My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Seeing that the quarrel between the two parties became more and more fierce, Village Chief Ning's face became darker and darker. The old man watched his face carefully and hurriedly stopped the people in the same village.

"What are you arguing about? What are you arguing about? Shut up!"

The old man was of great importance in the village, otherwise he would not have been sent to follow him next to Village Chief Ning. As soon as the words came out, although the others were reluctant, they could only stop helplessly.

They didn't quarrel with each other but instead became more energetic. Village Chief Ning couldn't stand it anymore and scolded: "If you continue to quarrel, you are not allowed to drink!"

The people in front were frightened by the suddenly angry Village Chief Ning. When they saw the county lieutenant in official uniform standing next to him, they remembered his identity.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent, and the scene slowly became quiet.

Village Chief Ning said coldly: "The people in their village are busy helping each other, can't you see it because you don't have eyes?"

Village Chief Ning scolded the people in the village a few more times, but they were just talking to each other.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, she allowed Mrs. Han to continue making porridge.

This small episode did not affect everyone's expectations.

Their quarrel was nothing more than a few grumbles.

The queue of people in the village was quickly completed. When it was the turn of others, those who brought bowls would use their own bowls, and those who did not bring bowls would use the bowls in the village. At that time, all they had to do was wash them and return them to others.

Of course, if someone is shameless, it is not impossible to just kick their bowl away.

Although these bowls were not valuable, they were the property of each family. They knew exactly which bowl was given to whom. They watched those people finish the pumpkin porridge and then watched them return the bowls.

After everyone made the pumpkin porridge, they gathered in small groups and tasted it carefully. Although there was more water than melon, it still had a sweet taste. Except for the seeds that were to be preserved, Mrs. Han didn't even peel the skin and just chopped it. Just stew it in.

The cooking time is long enough and the melon is chopped into enough pieces. Everyone will not feel spicy when eating it. Instead, it will feel sweet in the throat, and you will feel a sense of satisfaction after drinking it.

In the distance, a farmer's family of five finished their pumpkin porridge and squatted not far from the village entrance to savor it.

Several children blew the pumpkin porridge in small sips and took a sip, with smiles on their faces.

"Dad, it tastes good!"

Another child also said: "Yeah! It's so sweet, mother!"

In fact, even if the pumpkin is sweet after adding so much water, it won't be very sweet. At most, it will have a sweet taste.

But for these country people who rarely encounter sweet food, this is a rare delicacy.

The peasant woman also took a careful sip, and after finishing the drink, she rolled up all the soup in the corner of her mouth with her tongue, for fear of spilling a drop on the ground.

"Master, this melon is really sweet."

The man smiled and just took a sip of the melon soup. "Can it not be sweet? I heard that it is food for foreigners. It is only because of Mr. Ning's kindness that we can taste it. Otherwise, this precious thing would not be worth it to us mud-legged people." You can touch it."

The woman looked at the children who were satisfied with their drinks and said regretfully: "It would be great if we could also grow it. People from all over the country have spread the word that growing this kind of pumpkin is more cost-effective than growing food! Not only is the yield high, but it is also sweet." It's juicy and much more delicious than that corn."

"What good things are you thinking about?" The man laughed and scolded: "How can we have our turn for this good thing? It would be great if we can take a sip. You woman really dare to think about it."

While the couple was talking, the children finished their bowls of pumpkin soup.

After drinking, they were still unsatisfied and looked eagerly at their parents' bowls.

There was expectation in their eyes, but none of the children spoke, and they abruptly moved their eyes away, licking the soup in the bowl with their tongues.Seeing the pitiful looks of the children, the couple looked at each other, and the man took the initiative and said, "Big boy, dad doesn't like pumpkin soup." He handed the bowl to the older child and said, "You three will have the rest of this." separated."

The woman also hurriedly said: "Mom doesn't like to drink it either, so you guys should take this bowl and share it."

The man frowned and said, "It's enough for them to drink from my bowl. You can drink your own bowl."

The eldest child did not take the bowl from the man and said sensibly: "Dad, how could you not like to drink something so sweet? I was very happy when I saw you drinking it just now. My brothers and sisters and I have already drank it. No more drinking.”

The man touched his son's head and said, "Dad really doesn't like drinking. Please share it with me."

Seeing that his son was not moving, the man roughly grabbed the bowl from his hand and distributed the bowl of pumpkin soup in his hand evenly to several children's bowls one by one.

The younger children were a little helpless and froze on the spot. The man looked at them with pity and said, "Drink quickly."

When the woman saw this, she said to the eldest child: "Your father and I will share a bowl. Drink what you have in your bowl quickly."

The woman knew her son well. If he hadn't said that, he probably wouldn't know how to drink.

Only then could the eldest child lose his desire for pumpkin soup, and he and his younger siblings slowly drank the little pumpkin soup they were given in the bowl.

They drank very carefully, as if they were tasting some fine wine, taking small sips and sips.

The couple looked at each other and smiled. The rich man poured half of the pumpkin soup in his hand to the man, and the two of them tasted the sweetness of the pumpkin soup.

In fact, how can you not like to drink it?I just want the kids to drink more.

The same scene happened to everyone who received pumpkin soup.

From the big sip at the beginning to the small sip at the end, everyone considers it.

It wasn't until I licked the bowl until there was no sweetness left at all that I had to wash the bowl with regret.

Even the first wash of dishwater had to be drank.

Seeing everyone's appearance, Village Chief Ning couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He licked his own bowl, but he also licked other people's bowls like this. He looked at the people in the village with some sympathy.

If he had seen such a scene before, he might not have thought much about it, but after spending several years with Ning Changrong's family, he had subtly learned a lot of their family's habits. When he saw the behavior of these people, it was inevitable that he would some……

But the people in the village didn't care at all. They only cared whether these people would steal their bowls secretly.

Don't tell me, someone actually did this, but he just put the bowl in his arms and took two steps before he was caught on the spot.

It happened that the yamen officer was also there, so he caught him right away.

If the other person hadn't cried for mercy, the people in the village would not have thought of sending him to prison for a bowl, and this person would have been in bad luck.

People kept coming from behind, and water could only be added to the pot. It was not until the sky darkened and the pot became like clear soup that the crowd became bustling.

In the end, some melon soup was left for the government officials before they slowly dispersed.

After this incident, pumpkin became completely famous.

Not only Taixi County, but also several surrounding counties.
