My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

In the early morning, a figure sneaked out from the village,

"Old Sun, what are you doing sneakily!"

He was suddenly stopped by someone, who was startled, turned around and complained: "What are you doing? Such a loud voice scares people to death."

The other party chuckled and said dissatisfiedly: "If you weren't guilty of being a thief, why are you afraid? Didn't I call you because I saw you being sneaky?"

Seeing that the other person's voice not only did not lower, but also spoke loudly, Lao Sun quickly took his arm and walked to a deserted place.

"Speak softly."

The other party looked at him suspiciously, "What bad thing have you done?"

"What bad things can I do?! Don't talk nonsense."

"Then why are you so sneaky? You are so sneaky when you leave your own village. Who are you hiding from?"

When Lao Sun saw the other party, he kept asking questions as if he would not give up until he was asked. He looked around, and finally had no choice but to tell the truth.

After hearing this, the other party exclaimed: "What?! Are you going to buy pumpkin seeds? Is that the pumpkin soup we drank more than ten days ago?!"

"Keep your voice down!" Lao Sun made a shushing gesture towards the other party and whispered.

The other party also lowered his voice subconsciously and continued to ask: "Is it the pumpkin I mentioned? Where did you buy it? How is it possible to buy it? Is it expensive?"

Facing the other party's questioning, Lao Sun could only tell the gossip he had learned: "It's the pumpkin soup we drank a few days ago. You can buy it in the county. Do you still remember the old man you saw that day? Just go to that old man’s house and buy it.”

He hesitated for a while and then continued: "Isn't my grandson-in-law working as a busboy in a restaurant in the city? Yesterday he came back and told me that Mr. Ning asked Mr. Ning to help sell pumpkin seeds in order to provide us people with more food."

"I don't know if it's expensive or not. I brought all the money I can bring with me at home. I want to go check it out this time, but I haven't decided whether to buy it or not."

After speaking, he warned: "I am telling you because of the good relationship between our two families. Don't tell others. If more people go to buy it, can we still buy it?"

When the other party received the news, he was stunned and froze in place. At this time, he was digesting the news. When he heard what Lao Sun said, he quickly confirmed, "Don't worry, you don't know who I am?" At most, he would follow Tell your family members.

"Wait for me! I'll go home and get some money to go with you!"

Pumpkins are so popular that most people in Taixi County have heard of pumpkins, and many are lucky enough to have tasted pumpkins.

The yield per acre of pumpkin is higher than that of corn, and it tastes better than corn. If they can buy seeds and the seeds are not expensive, they will not be reluctant to spend a little money.

What worries them is that they don't know how to grow pumpkins. If they spend money to buy the seeds, and then all the seeds rot in the ground, they will really cry without tears.

I hurriedly returned home to get the money, and it was impossible to hide it from my family.

"Wu Laoliu! What are you doing? You were rummaging through boxes and cabinets so early in the morning!"

Wu Laoliu's actions were not hidden from his wife's eyes.

Wu Laoliu explained while rummaging around, "Lao Sun and I are going to buy pumpkin seeds. Please give me the money quickly and I'll go see what's going on. If possible, I'll buy some back."

Wu Laoliu's daughter-in-law asked in surprise: "How can I buy pumpkin seeds?" Wu Laoliu had no time to explain, "Give me the money first. Old Sun is still waiting for me at the entrance of the village. If it's late, he won't take me there." What to do? We won’t decide whether to buy it or not. I’ll keep the money first.”

The other party frowned and thought for a while, then took out the family's money and gave it to him from a crack in the stone at the head of the bed.

"This is three denarii. All the family's belongings are here. Don't spend it all on me."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Wu Laoliu, who was about to leave after taking the money, suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around and told his wife: "Lao Sun asked me not to talk to other people about this matter. People say, don’t spread it randomly. Maybe if there are too many people who know about it, it will be difficult for us to buy it.”

When Wu Laoliu arrived at the entrance of the village and met Lao Sun, who had been impatient after waiting for a long time, his wife thought about it and finally returned to her parents' house with a handful of vegetables.

How does her mother's family count as others?Everyone knows that pumpkins are good things. If they could really buy seeds, her parents' life would be much easier.

In this way, it is passed from ten to ten, to hundreds, and from one hundred to thousands.

The situation is similar to that of Lao Sun and others. They are all passed down from relatives to relatives, and almost everyone who needs to know knows about it.

When the two of them arrived at the door of Village Chief Ning's house, they discovered that there were many carriages parked in front of them.

There are many rural people like them who also want to buy seeds.

Everyone watched from a distance, not daring to approach those magnificent carriages.

We can only discuss from a distance, wanting to leave but unwilling to do so.

Wu Laoliu and Lao Sun looked at the scene in front of them with dumbfounded eyes. Wu Laoliu opened his mouth and said, "Why are there so many people?"

Lao Sun complained: "If you hadn't made me wait for so long, I would have come long ago."

The person next to him heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but said: "It doesn't matter how early you come, I will come before dawn. Hey, guess what? These carriages came earlier! They were here in the middle of the night. Waiting here!"

After hearing this, Old Sun felt a lot better, and Wu Laoliu also breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. It was about food. As long as it was related to food, it was no small matter. If Old Sun couldn't buy food because of him, he would I won’t be able to see Lao Sun anymore.

"What's going on now?" Lao Sun followed passers-by to inquire about their situation.

The other party also had a frown on his face, "I don't know, anyway, there are big merchants coming in one after another, and we people only dare to watch from the outside."

Wu Laoliu asked strangely: "Why don't you go in? Didn't you say you want to buy seeds here?"

The other party looked at him like he was a fool, "Everyone who goes in is a big merchant. If you buy seeds, you will definitely be able to buy more. If you are doing business, will you greet the big merchants or individual customers first?"

Wu Laoliu said without hesitation: "Then we must greet the big customers first."

The other party spread his hands: "That's it, isn't it? Even if we can buy seeds, how many seeds can we buy? And if you buy these seeds, it doesn't mean you can plant them. You have to ask people how to plant them, otherwise we can plant them when we take them back. No, isn’t this a waste of money?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Laoliu felt that what the other party said was reasonable, but he didn't want to come here in vain, "Should we just wait here?"

"What else? If I can't wait for you, you can go home." In this way, they will have one less competitor, and they don't know which Killer of Thousand Swords spread the word. More and more people want to buy seeds, and they won't be able to wait for a while. I wonder if there will be any left after the big merchants finish buying it.
