However, every night, he would work hard to farm in the game farm.
Looking at the rapidly maturing pumpkins, all the hard work turned into relief.
As long as he kept lying flat and basking in the sun, there would be white buns, eggs, and meat.
Therefore, on the third day, when it was the appointed day, he got out of bed before dawn.
"Second brother, are you going to the black market again?”
Suddenly, Chen Weibin's faint voice came from behind.
"Yes."
Chen Zhengyu didn't turn on the lights and put on his clothes in the dark.
"Second brother, can you bring me there?”Chen Weibin probed.
"No, wait at home obediently. I'll bring you eggs.”
Chen Zhengyu rejected without thinking.
Bring him there?
What a joke.
Did he really think that Zhang Xiuzhen had no desires?
"Oh."
With Chen Weibin's personality, he would never know how to resist. He stuffed himself back into bed.
In the past three days, the energy he obtained from sunbathing was a little less than expected. The main reason was that he felt uncomfortable after being under the sun for a long time.
He could not imagine what Xia Tian would be like.
Could it be that he had to expose himself to the sun?
But that would kill people.
Last night, Chen Zhengyu had counted the number of chestnuts on the farm. He had ripened a total of 18.
This time, he was prepared to exchange for another 20 eggs, and his main goal was still the 10 catties of wheat that he had agreed on.
After all, with the seed, there would be unlimited possibilities.
Otherwise, what kind of family could exchange tens of kilograms of flour a month?
That Hou San was such a shrewd person, it would be strange if he didn't suspect anything.
More importantly, he couldn't just keep moving pumpkin to the black market.
In addition, the cost-performance ratio of the pumpkin was too low. It could be used as the first pot of gold, but with wheat seeds, there was no need to waste time.
With the previous experience, Chen Zhengyu directly used a broken gunny sack to carry two pumpkin and went straight to the uncle who was exchanging eggs.
On the way, people stopped him from time to time to ask what was in his bag.
Chen Zhengyu didn't hide anything from him. He opened the sack and let the other party take a look.
Although there were also people asking about the price, most people didn't care.
It was still the same position, the same middle-aged man.
When the other party saw Chen Zhengyu arrive, he immediately stood up, his eyes never leaving the sack.
"Uncle, do you still want to change?" Chen Zhengyu asked.
"Change."
The middle-aged man nodded and asked casually,""Your pumpkin tastes quite good and sweet. It shouldn't be a variety from around here, right?”
"Uncle, to tell you the truth, an uncle of mine works at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This is a new breed that they have carefully cultivated. It hasn't been officially promoted yet and is still in the confidential stage.”
Chen Zhengyu leaned closer and explained in a low voice.
Hearing his words, the middle-aged man's pupils constricted, and his face was filled with joy.
"Little brother, can we plant these pumpkin seeds in the countryside?”
"It should work, right?"
Regarding this, Chen Zhengyu was not sure.
In fact, this pumpkin was just an ordinary pumpkin on the market. It had only grown so big after being nurtured by the game farm.
As for whether there was gene optimization or mutation, he was not sure.
"Uncle, to be honest, this pumpkin seed was given to me by my uncle. It can be considered as an experiment for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Since it's an experiment, there must be a certain risk. But don't worry, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than the pumpkin on the market now.”
Chen Zhengyu's last words were still guaranteed.
Wasn't the so-called seed cultivation just the optimization of planting from generation to generation?
To a certain extent, it could be considered an optimization.
And even if it didn't work, these pumpkin seeds would at most return to their original state and couldn't shrink anymore.
"Alright, alright."
The middle-aged man was satisfied with the answer.
The last time he brought the pumpkin back, someone thought that the pumpkin was too big and probably wouldn't taste good.
At that time, he thought that it was enough to fill his stomach. If it was not delicious, he could make do with it.
Unexpectedly, when it was steamed, it had a very special fragrance. When it was eaten, it was far more delicious than the usual pumpkin. It was also anti-hunger.
He had originally wanted to dry and fry the pumpkin seeds for his child to eat, but his wife's casual words woke him up.
That's right, why didn't they keep the seeds and plant them themselves next year?
Not only would they plant it themselves, but they would also mobilize the entire village to plant it together. This way, the pumpkin harvest next year might double, and everyone would not have to go hungry anymore.
After discussing it with his elder brother who was the village director, this thought became even stronger.
Then, he collected all the eggs he could get in the village.
He had even come yesterday, but unfortunately, Chen Zhengyu did not appear.
For this reason, he even rejected several people who wanted to exchange noodles for eggs.
After confirming that the pumpkin seeds could continue to be planted, the middle-aged man hurriedly said,"Little brother, your pumpkin is really good. Can you give me a few more? I brought 52 eggs today."
"So many?"
Chen Zhengyu was also quite surprised. He did not know where the other party got such courage from.
"No more pumpkin?" The middle-aged man asked worriedly.
"Yes, but there are so many eggs. I can't finish them all in a short time.”
Chen Zhengyu was in a difficult position. Originally, he only planned to exchange 20 eggs this time, and the rest would be exchanged for wheat seeds and flour. If he could meet a meat seller, he could also exchange some.
"If you can't finish it, you can save it. Little brother, please help me. I'll give you a discount this time. 52 eggs for your four pumpkins.”
The middle-aged man was obviously going all out. For the pumpkin seeds, even if he suffered a little loss, it was worth it.
"To tell you the truth, it's really not easy for us in the countryside. The days when we can eat our fill can be counted on the fingers of our fingers. These pumpkin seeds can be said to be the hope of our village next year, so I hope you can help us.”
Hearing his words, Chen Zhengyu shook his head.
Immediately, the middle-aged man's face was filled with dejection.
"Uncle, I think we should follow the price from last time. 50 eggs for five pumpkins, and I'll pay for the remaining two eggs.”
Chen Zhengyu could make Widow Qin pay with eggs, beat Liu Guangtian up, and even bully others.
But at the very least, he still had a conscience.
Moreover, be it in his previous life or the Host's current life, they were both born in the countryside, so he knew very well that most people there were very simple and it was really difficult.
Therefore, he did not mind helping the other party if he could.
However, that was all for now.
He wouldn't give her all his pumpkin just because he was touched for a moment.
That wasn't loyalty, it was madness.
"Really? Thank you, thank you."
The middle-aged man originally thought that Chen Zhengyu would not agree, but he did not expect things to turn around and he was as happy as a child.??? Chen Zhengyu sneaked into the alley again before he managed to gather the five pumpkins that the middle-aged man needed.
He was originally prepared to pay for the remaining two eggs, but the other party refused no matter what. He and his companion called Sixth placed a basket full of eggs in front of him, picked up the pumpkin, and ran.
"Little comrade, do you have any more pumpkin?”
Beside him, someone had already noticed this transaction.
Not far away, there were even people who greedily looked at the basket of eggs.
"No more. It wasn't easy for us brothers to carry five pumpkins. Let's wait until tomorrow. I'll come back then.”
Chen Zhengyu said, picked up the basket, and left.
He did not reveal his wealth and could adapt to it at any time.
Especially in this black market, if he was carrying a basket of eggs, it would be strange if nothing happened.
Therefore, he wanted to slip away before the others could react.
When he turned around and appeared empty-handed, he indeed encountered a few people rushing towards him.
"It's too late. The eggs have already been sent away. I don't even have a penny on me now.”
Chen Zhengyu spread out his hands and even opened his pockets to let the other party have a better look.
Although he wasn't afraid, unnecessary fights were still avoided.
If the other party did not care about martial arts and directly used a brick or a knife, he would be the one at a disadvantage in the end.
The few of them looked at each other at the same time. Then, one of them split up and left in Chen Zhengyu's direction. The others did not say anything and just stood there looking at Chen Zhengyu.
Ten seconds later, that person hurriedly returned and shook his head.
"Let's go!"
A person who seemed to be the leader pointed at Chen Zhengyu and turned to leave.
" This is the black market."
Chen Zhengyu shook his head. He had a deeper understanding of this era.
Then, he strolled around the black market empty-handed.
After making sure that there was no tail following him, he quietly turned into the alley where Hou San's house was located.
He took out ten pumpkins from the game storage and piled them at the door before knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
This time, the voice was familiar. It was Hou San.
"Pumpkin."
Chen Zhengyu replied and opened the door.
"Is that all?"
Hou San walked out and looked around. Seeing that Chen Zhengyu was the only one standing at the door with a pile of pumpkins by his feet, he asked.
"Ten. It wasn't easy to get them.”Chen Zhengyu said.
Taking out ten was also the result of his careful consideration.
Last time, Hou San had said that the wheat seeds were priced at fifty cents per catty, and ten catty was five yuan.
And all these pumpkins were worth more than 20 yuan.
After changing the wheat seeds, they could also exchange some flour.
A transaction of this level would probably not be taken seriously by Hou San.
It was even more impossible for him to kill someone for such a small thing.
On the other hand, if he really got dozens or hundreds of pumpkins, the outcome would be hard to predict.
Never test a person's humanity. This was the experience that Chen Zhengyu had concluded from his previous life.
"Alright, let it be a little less."
Hou San said as he helped move the pumpkin into the yard.
It was the same person from last time. He silently took out a scale and began to weigh the pumpkin.
"You came here alone?" Hou San took out a cigarette and handed one to Chen Zhengyu.
It was the kind of cigarette without a filter.
