As for the unruly elder brother, Chen Weimin, he was nowhere to be seen.
"N-Aunt, Sister-in-law."
Chen Zhengyu greeted her and returned to the house.
Chen Zhengyu had only drunk two bowls of corn paste in the morning and went out for an hour. He was already starving, but he did not say anything.
How could a big laborer who did not produce anything and did not contribute to the family have the face to talk nonsense?
As for a certain someone, he didn't even know what face was.
Lying on the bed, Chen Zhengyu had a thought and appeared in the game farm.
The pumpkin seeds that he had packed in the morning also appeared.
Originally, he wanted to plant sweet potatoes first.
However, after searching around the house, he did not find any fresh sweet potatoes. He could only change them to pumpkin first.
Anyway, in his opinion, whether it was a pumpkin or a sweet potato, there was actually no difference. If he took it out in this season, it would not arouse any suspicion.
Pumpkins usually take about four months to grow.
Chen Zhengyu was not sure how long it would take to switch to the game farm, but since the time ratio between the two was one to one, there was also night and day, so the difference should not be too big.
He only hoped that the energy consumption for ripening the pumpkin was not too high.
After all, the feeling of starving was really unbearable. After planting the 40 pumpkin seeds, Chen Zhengyu shouted for them to ripen.
Then, a new option appeared.
"Consumes 0.1 energy points to accelerate for 3 days?”
"Only three days?"
Chen Zhengyu was a little speechless. The average winter (day) time here was only seven or eight hours, and this did not include the cloudy afternoon days.
Even if he lay outside and basked in the sun every day, one day was equivalent to about twenty days.
According to the pumpkin ripening cycle of four months, it needed six days of sunlight.
In other words, he had to starve for another six days?
Then, Chen Zhengyu slapped his face.
"I'm f * cking crazy. I have to wait so long. What if I only ripen one pumpkin?”
"0.1 energy is equivalent to 120 days?”
"Cheers!"
Without any hesitation, Chen Zhengyu chose to ripen only one of the pumpkin.
After he invested 0.1 of his energy, something magical happened.
Two tender shoots pushed open the soil and trembled as they drilled out. Then, they continued to grow.
Then, new tender leaves grew out and continued to grow bigger and bigger.
The melon vines began to wreak havoc, and flower buds gradually appeared. Then, they bloomed and withered, and a small pumpkin began to grow.
For some reason, this was actually an only child.
He had originally thought that one pumpkin vine could bear five or six, but now it seemed that it was wishful thinking.
In just a dozen seconds, a pumpkin that was 70 to 80 centimeters long and 20 centimeters thick appeared in front of Chen Zhengyu.
"A miracle."
The ecstasy on Chen Zhengyu's face could no longer be concealed.
Obviously, he had found the correct way to use the farm.
After plucking the pumpkin, Chen Zhengyu estimated that it was at least 30 to 40 catties.
At this moment, he was faced with two choices. The first was to continue to invest energy. This pumpkin vine would produce another pumpkin, but whether it was in size or taste, it would not be as good as the first.
The other option was to pull it out and use other seeds to ripen the pumpkin again.
Chen Zhengyu thought about it and chose the second option.
With the first pumpkin, there would be no shortage of seeds in the future. Naturally, he only wanted the best pumpkin.
If the pumpkin vine was pulled out and thrown directly into the ground, it would slowly wither until it was absorbed by the soil.
Then, Chen Zhengyu did some calculations. According to the calculation of 600 pumpkin plants per mu, wouldn't it be about 20,000 catties per mu?
This was the data that only existed in those few years.
In the later generations, even if they were to plant in greenhouses, with scientific planning, the yield per mu would only be 10,000 catties.
Obviously, the farm game was more powerful.
A few minutes later, under the puzzled gazes of his family, Chen Zhengyu hurriedly ran out.
After another ten minutes, he came back with a big processed pumpkin.
"Auntie, steamed pumpkin for lunch."
Chen Zhengyu said this with great confidence.
Although Grandma and Stepmother Zhang Xiuzhen were surprised, they did not ask anything.
Yang Fangfang asked curiously,""Where did such a big pumpkin come from?"
"When I went out, I happened to meet an acquaintance from the countryside who came to the city to deliver things. I saw that he had pulled a lot of pumpkins, so I bought one.”
Chen Zhengyu had a good impression of this cheap sister-in-law. It was not because she was beautiful, but because on the second day of his rebirth, she had brought two yuan and insisted on apologizing on behalf of Chen Weimin.
The two of them pushed back and forth, but Chen Zhengyu didn't take the two yuan in the end.
He had always been clear about gratitude and resentment. There was no need to implicate Chen Weimin in his conflict with him.
"How much?" Yang Fangfang asked again.
"Fifty cents each." Chen Zhengyu said casually.
"So cheap? Did you use your food stamps?"
"No, I haven't."
This time, even his stepmother, Zhang Xiuzhen, looked over.
"Zhengyu, has your friend left yet? The pumpkin I bought in Pigeon City a few days ago is eight cents per catty. Why don't we go and buy more?”
"I don't think I can do it today. My friend is here to give it to someone. I tried my best to sell it to me at a cheap price.”Chen Zhengyu also realized that he had said too little, so he found an excuse.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiuzhen had a look of pity.
As the saying went, one did not know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt were. It was not an easy thing to be in charge during this difficult period.
He really counted the rice grains.
Seeing the disappointment on the other party's face, Chen Zhengyu's heart skipped a beat.
