The sky gradually darkened, and the Zhang family, who had been busy for a day, led his daughter-in-law and younger brother back to the house with a few harvests, and when he opened the door, he suddenly found that there was a white and clean young man in the room, and the two children were staring at each other on the bed.

"Dad, who is this person?" Zhang Dalang's eyes were full of puzzlement, he didn't understand why his father took in a young man of unknown origin, for people like them who were hiding in the mountains, in order to avoid some trouble, they had to minimize contact with the outside world.

"Passing, I don't know the specific situation, but I just let him go into the house to rest for a while when I see that this little brother is quite pitiful." Zhang Laohan hesitated and gave his two sons a general introduction to Wei Shuo's situation.

Zhang Dalang heard nothing, but Zhang Erlang pouted when he heard the word 'pitiful', it turned out that he had already thought of Wei Shuo, just looking at the other party wearing a valuable clothes, he felt that the other party's origin must not be simple, at least he couldn't get along with the poor second son.

At this time, Wei Shuo, who was caught in the confusion of ancient and modern time and space, didn't notice that there were more people in the house, on the one hand, he felt that he would never see his modern family again in this life, and his grief was difficult to suppress, and tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes; On the other hand, he felt that life was not easy in troubled times, and he didn't know if he could be lucky enough to live, and he was afraid of the unknowable future.

Zhang Laohan's family watched Wei Shuo cry profusely, thinking that he remembered something sad, but they didn't know how to comfort each other, but fortunately, Wei Shuo stopped after crying for a while.

Zhang Dalang's daughter-in-law, Zhang Li, was busy for a while, brought the food up, and beckoned the family to eat.

At this time, Zhang Erlang muttered to himself, and said to Wei Shuonunu: "Eh? Eat? ”

As he spoke, he placed the large earth-gray bowl in his hand on a low, shabby table on the couch.

To tell the truth, after such a bizarre incident as crossing over, Wei Shuo had long forgotten about his hunger, and now when he suddenly talked about eating, he suddenly felt hungry, so he quickly got up and took the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”

"This little brother, you can also sit down and eat something, but the old man's family doesn't have any good things to entertain distinguished guests, only some vegetable dumplings to satisfy hunger, I hope the little brother will not be surprised." Zhang Laohan said as he picked up a black vegetable dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he was tasting some delicacies from the mountains and seas, and even other people ate it with relish.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to be able to eat a full stomach right now!" Wei Shuo didn't dare to be picky, to know how many people outside couldn't even eat such a vegetable dumpling in front of him. The ancients' dinner was so simple, just a big bowl with seven or eight different shapes, black, green, black and green.

Wei Shuo frowned and looked at the vegetable dumplings in front of him, how could he not connect them with the wild vegetable cakes in the depths of his memory. It is said that in modern times, he was also born in an ordinary farming family, and when he was a child, he also ate all kinds of wild vegetables and delicacies cooked by his mother, such as elm money rice, acacia flower buns, etc.

It's just that when he grew up, the family conditions were better, and sometimes his mother had to make some wild vegetable cakes to eat, and at that time he didn't think that wild vegetable cakes were so unpalatable, and even felt quite delicious when he ate them once in a while. But the wild vegetable cake in front of him completely subverted his previous cognition, looking at the black and green wild vegetable cake in front of him, Wei Shuo swallowed hard, hesitating whether to eat it.

Looking at Wei Shuo's disgusted look, Zhang Laohan and Zhang Dalang didn't say anything, only the corners of Zhang Erlang's mouth showed a trace of disdain, and he couldn't help but say: "Sure enough, it's the son of a big family, and he hasn't eaten any wild vegetable cakes when he wants to grow so big." Hum! Deserve! If it weren't for the oppression of you families, why would our family have fled to the deep mountains and old forests to beg for a living?! ”

His stomach was indeed hungry, and after hesitation, Wei Shuo still mustered up the courage to pick up a wild vegetable cake and stuff it into his mouth.

"Vomit ---!"

Sure enough, as soon as the vegetable dumplings were eaten, Wei Shuo suddenly spit out, I really don't know what the taste is, the broad and profound Chinese can't describe it, all in all, it's very unpalatable. Speaking of which, Wei Shuo does not have high requirements for eating, and sometimes even as long as he can fill his stomach, but the vegetable dumplings in front of him are really unpalatable.

Wei Shuo was a little embarrassed to hold the vegetable dumplings, but he didn't know how to look up and found that Zhang Laohan's family was staring at him dumbfounded, Wei Shuo's face turned red, and he muttered: "I, I, I've never eaten such vegetable dumplings, so I ......"

"Hehe, the little brother is from a big family at first glance, and he must be used to eating big fish and meat, unlike us ordinary people, not only do we not see a little bit of oil all year round, but there is not much food produced in the field. Now is the time when there is a shortage of green and yellow, not to mention food, even these vegetable dumplings are not eaten by some people. ”

Zhang Laohan's words deeply shocked Wei Shuo, as a farmer, Wei Shuo of course knows the suffering of farmers, but he has seen the life of ordinary farmers in ancient times in front of him, and he really understands the difficulty of survival of ancient farmers. As the main body of all dynasties, the peasant seems to always be synonymous with tragedy.

In times of peace, peasants not only have to endure the bullying of the country bullies, but also have to be blackmailed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they are even unable to feed their families after a year of hard work.

When the war came, the survival of the peasants became even more difficult, not only did the rebels want to capture them, but even the officers and soldiers of the imperial court would kill the good and take the plunge from time to time. Every time there is a change of dynasty, the biggest loss is often those peasants who are struggling at the bottom.

Thinking of this, Wei Shuo couldn't help but get up and walk towards his backpack, where a dozen corn cobs and a dozen sweet potatoes attracted all his attention at once. As a modern person, Wei Shuo certainly knows how high the yield of these two crops is, and if corn and sweet potatoes are popularized on a large scale, if they cannot change the living conditions of farmers on a large scale, at least they can solve the problem of food and clothing for most ordinary farmers.

"Brother, what are you looking for? Is there something delicious hidden in it? Why don't you take it out and let us follow suit? Zhang Erlang looked down on Wei Shuo a little, and couldn't help but sneer at him.

"Erlang, don't be unreasonable!" Zhang Dalang was kind and didn't want to offend people, so he scolded.

"Hehe, it's okay, Erlang is right, the two things in my bag are indeed things to eat, but these two things are very precious, if they can be promoted, maybe ordinary farmers in the world will no longer go hungry." As he spoke, Wei Shuo placed a corn cob and a sweet potato on the low table.

Zhang Laohan's family looked at the corn and sweet potatoes that Wei Shuo took out like a trick, to say that the corn cob is really good-looking, the yellow, orange and orange corn kernels are tightly arranged on the cob, which makes people really like it, even the seemingly inconspicuous sweet potatoes have aroused the curiosity of the Zhang family.

"Little brother, what kind of crop is this, I have been a farmer all my life, but I have never seen this thing."

"My husband has good eyesight, and I can see at a glance that this thing is extraordinary, and I got it from overseas after a lot of hard work. These two crops are not only higher than the crops such as millet and wheat planted by farmers today, but also have lower environmental requirements, and are not only cold and drought tolerant, which can be described as a treasure given by God to farmers. ”

"This is a very high yield?"

"It is extremely high, at least several times the current output of millet and wheat, or even more than ten times!"

"What?! Is this true? ”

"Really, it's a pity that the seeds in my hands are a little scarce, and if you want to promote them on a large scale, you have to make great efforts to breed!"

The two crops of corn and sweet potatoes brought a huge shock to Zhang Laohan's family, and they really couldn't imagine that a crop with a yield of more than ten stones would suddenly appear in front of them. Zhang Laohan suddenly burst into tears, stretching out a pair of boring hands to rub the two crops on the table like caressing rare treasures.

After a while, when Wei Shuo pulled out a piece of roasted sweet potato from the stove fire, a rich aroma suddenly came to his nose, and the Zhang family, who had just eaten the vegetable ball, couldn't help but twitch his nose. If it weren't for the vegetable dumplings, it was really impossible to swallow, and Wei Shuo wouldn't have taken a piece of sweet potato to roast, it was really the first meal in ancient times that was too testing.

Roasted sweet potatoes alternated back and forth in Wei Shuo's hands, and as they were broken in two, an attractive aroma came to his nose, looking at the Zhang family who were constantly swallowing saliva around him, he smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone, don't blame, the kid really can't eat the vegetable dumplings, so he has to bake a sweet potato, but you don't have to worry, I won't eat it again in the future, and the rest of the sweet potatoes are all used for breeding." ”

"Hey, little brother, is this a sweet potato with a yield of thousands of catties per mu? It smells so good, it seems that this thing is not only edible, but also tastes excellent! Little brother, if this thing is promoted in the future, I don't know how many people will live because of you! ”

Wei Shuo was embarrassed to eat alone, so he divided the other half of the sweet potato into two halves and handed it to the two children. The two children couldn't bear it anymore, and they couldn't care about burning their mouths, so they picked up the sweet potato and bit it, drooling while eating. Here, Wei Shuo also picked up the remaining half of the sweet potato and ate the unpalatable vegetable dumplings.
