Chapter 17 Entering the Black Market Again

The next day, eat, bask in the sun, eat, bask in the sun, eat, sleep!

Day three, same as above!

Li Weidong's days of lying down are always so simple and unpretentious.

Maybe I will go out for a walk occasionally and blend in with this era.

But every night, he would work very hard to farm on the game farm.

Looking at the rapidly maturing pumpkins, all the hard work turned into joy.

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

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

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

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

"right."

"so much?"

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

Last night, Li Weidong counted them at the farm and ripened a total of 18 pumpkins.

Hearing his words, Li Weidong shook his head.

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

Do you really think Zhang Xiuzhen has no desires or desires?

"oh."

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

Li Weidong's final words are still guaranteed.

"To tell you the truth, it is really not easy in our rural areas. We can count the days with enough food all year round on our fingers. These pumpkin seeds can be said to be the hope of our whole village next year, so I implore you to

Please help me more."

Li Weidong did not turn on the light and was wearing clothes in the dark.

In the past three days, the energy gained from basking in the sun was a little less than expected. The main reason was that he felt uncomfortable after being in the sun for too long.

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

"If you can't finish it, you can save it. Little brother, please help me. I'll make it cheaper this time. I'll give you 52 eggs for four pumpkins."

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

Otherwise, what kind of family would it be to buy dozens of kilograms of flour a month?

It would be strange for Hou San, a shrewd person like him, not to have doubts.

Spending a long time in the game farm can be regarded as an optimization to a certain extent.

Li Weidong refused without even thinking.

After all, with seeds, there are endless possibilities.

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

But that's all for now.

This time, he planned to exchange for twenty more eggs, but the main target was still the ten pounds of wheat agreed upon.

Based on the experience last time, this time Li Weidong directly put two pumpkins in a torn sack and went straight to the uncle who changed the eggs.

People stopped him from time to time on the road and asked what was in his bag.

"Uncle, to be honest, this pumpkin seed was given to me by my uncle to help them test it for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Since it is a test, there must be certain risks, but don't worry, no matter how bad it is, it can't be better than what's on the market now.

That’s all the difference is the pumpkin served.”

"It should work, right?"

Li Weibin's character never knew how to resist, so he tucked himself back into bed again.

"Little brother, if we grow these pumpkin seeds ourselves in the countryside, can we grow them?"

He originally thought about drying and frying pumpkin seeds and giving them to his children as snacks, but his wife’s casual words woke him up.

Last time he brought pumpkin back, some people thought that the pumpkin was too big and would not taste good.

"Uncle, I think we should stick to the last price, 50 eggs for five pumpkins, and I'll pay for the remaining two eggs."

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

Li Weidong was not sure about this either.

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

Li Weidong leaned a little closer and explained in a suppressed voice.

For this reason, he also rejected several people who wanted to exchange stick noodles for eggs.

He even came yesterday, but unfortunately he didn't wait for Li Weidong.

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

Is it possible to be exposed to the sun?

As for whether there was genetic optimization or mutation, he didn't know.

He could no longer imagine what summer would be like.

"Change."

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

"

And even if it doesn't work, these pumpkin seeds will at most be restored to their original shape and will never shrink again.

The key is that he can't keep moving pumpkins to the black market.

In fact, this pumpkin is an ordinary pumpkin species currently on the market. It has only grown so big after being cultivated by the game farm.

But that will kill people.

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

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

In this regard, Li Weidong did not hide it and directly opened the mouth of the sack to let the other party take a look.

The middle-aged man nodded and asked casually: "This pumpkin tastes pretty good and sweet. It shouldn't be the variety nearby, right?"

When the other party saw Li Weidong arriving, he stood up directly without taking his eyes off the sack.

Yes, with such a good variety of pumpkins, why not save the seeds and plant them yourself next year?

Not only do you have to plant it yourself, but you also have to mobilize the whole village to plant it together and create more varieties. In this way, next year's pumpkin harvest may be doubled, and everyone will no longer have to go hungry.

After confirming that the pumpkin seeds were ready to be planted, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Little brother, your pumpkins are really good. Can you give me a few more in exchange? I brought 52 eggs today."

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

Take him there?

What a joke.

The middle-aged man was obviously willing to go all out. Even if he suffered a little loss for the pumpkin seeds, it was still worth it.

Still in the same position, still the same middle-aged man.

Li Weidong can make Widow Qin pay for the eggs, he can also beat Liu Guangtian into a pig's head, and he can even use his power to bully others.

The so-called cultivation of seeds, isn’t it just the optimization of planting from generation to generation?

After hearing his words, the middle-aged man's pupils shrank significantly, and his face became a little more joyful.

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 meat seller, he could also exchange some.

"Then it will be done, then it will be done."

But at least he still has a conscience.

Unexpectedly, when steamed, the pumpkin has a very special aroma, and it tastes much more delicious than ordinary pumpkin, and it also resists hunger.

What's more, both in his previous life and in this life, the original owner was born in a rural area, so he knew very well that most people there were still very simple, and it was also really difficult.

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

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

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 headache.

"Really? Thank you, thank you."

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