In Taixi County, under the scorching heat, the village chief of Ning wore a small straw hat woven by himself, and patrolled the pumpkin field with his hands behind his back.

Watch them take root and sprout, and as a result, the fruit grows bigger and bigger.

Village Chief Ning was happy in his heart, and finally lived up to Evergreen's expectations.

As soon as he took two steps, he saw the officials patrolling around greet him, and Village Chief Ning replied a few times in surprise.

Since the county magistrate of Taixi County knew that it was Ning Changrong who helped them speak in order to keep this official uniform, he not only became more diligent, but also often sent people to take care of Ning Changrong's fellow villagers.

The most diligent one was the village chief's house, and the county lieutenant had sent someone to inquire if they needed help in their pumpkin field.

Got the message that there is no.

At that time, the pumpkins were already more than halfway through the growth cycle, and where did they need any help, Village Chief Ning refused without thinking about it.

It's just that the other party didn't give up, and after some inquiry, he decided to send someone over to help inspect the surroundings of the pumpkin field.

Since the pumpkin has grown in size, more and more people have been looking here.

Many of the selected melon farmers came to inquire.

They were afraid of the Ning family after taking the benefits, and they kept silent no matter who asked.

Seeing that they couldn't get the news from their mouths, many people hit the idea to the melon field, and the defense was tightly guarded and fenced all around, but they couldn't stand the peeps of people with intentions.

Village Chief Ning asked the people in the village to help inspect the inspection, but these people were just farmers, and if it weren't for the people sent by the county order to help guard them, I am afraid that people would really touch them.

Village Chief Ning knew Ning Changrong's ultimate goal, so he didn't worry about someone going in and stealing the appearance of the pumpkin field, but the county magistrate didn't know, the other party sent someone to help catch the thief who wanted to run in, and Village Chief Ning had to admit it.

The rest of the matter turned out smoothly, and there were officials patrolling the pumpkin fields all around.

In order to be afraid of the dissatisfaction of those officials, they did not patrol seriously, and the county magistrate also rewarded them with his own money.

After Village Chief Ning learned about it, he returned it in person.

Back at home, Village Chief Ning sat in his room, writing word by word about what had happened recently.

The thing about pumpkins in Taixi County has long been spread everywhere.

Originally, everyone didn't pay so much attention, that is, the villagers around the pumpkin field were more concerned, because the thief was caught, and most people knew about it.

"What the hell is a pumpkin? Why is there anyone who runs in and wants to steal it?"

"Who knows, I heard that pumpkin is the size of a man's head! It can be used as food, what a treasure!"

"Huh! So big? If it could be eaten as food, then the whole family wouldn't starve, right?"

"I heard that it grows very big, but I don't know how much this acre of land can produce."

"There must be a lot of them, otherwise there would be so many people who want to steal them? If you can steal one and keep it home, there will be no shortage of food in the future."

"And that's not all! I heard that pumpkin tastes sweet, just like sugar."

"Is it really that good? If only we could grow it."

"What do you want? So precious seeds, can we get them?"

These specious news about pumpkins on the street were all sent by Ning Changrong to the village chief Ning, some true and some false, just to attract everyone's attention.

By the time Ning Changrong received the letter from Village Chief Ning, it was almost the day of pumpkin harvesting.

replied to the other party with another letter, and handed the letter to Ning Husheng in a good mood, asking the other party to send the letter away.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of pumpkin harvesting, and after receiving Ning Changrong's letter, Village Chief Ning seized the time to arrange people to prepare for the melon harvest, and even demolished the fence with great fanfare, and invited many people to help collect it.

All the curious people around went to watch.

Everyone looked at the pumpkin that was bigger than a human head, and they all gasped in surprise.

One by one, they chattered around the side

Discuss.

"I'm a mother! How does this melon grow bigger than a human head? You can't break your belly if you eat this one!"

"Oh my God! How much is this acre of land? I look like there's a lot more food than we grow! This melon is so big that it must weigh at least four or five hundred stones, right?"

"No wonder it's so well hidden! This melon has a high yield, and it can fill your stomach, it's a good thing!"

Compared with the crowd of onlookers around, these people who really went down to the field to help harvest melons can feel the weight of these melons more intuitively.

The harvest of an acre of land is heavier than theirs, and the harvest of grain is twice as much!

It's all food, they can eat a full stomach, if they can grow pumpkins, they will definitely not hesitate to plant pumpkins directly.

It's a pity that this kind of thinking can only be thought about.

How could such a precious thing get their turn?

In order to let everyone feel the benefits of pumpkins more intuitively, Village Chief Ning followed Ning Changrong's instructions and asked people to weigh all the pumpkins.

The final result is similar to what everyone guessed, with an average yield of about 400 stone per mu.

After seeing this scene, everyone became even more envious and jealous.

Some people even wonder if they can take advantage of the crowd to steal one and go home, and if they plant this melon in the future, the family will not starve.

Hearing the surrounding discussions, it became louder and louder, and some people even asked Village Chief Ning on the spot if the melon was sold.

Of course, Village Chief Ning didn't sell it, and in the face of his unhesitating refusal, the other party only gave up regretfully.

If you don't give up, you can't do it, and the surrounding officials are staring at them fiercely.

Seeing that the pumpkin harvest was almost done, Village Chief Ning arched his hand to the surrounding people and said, "Everyone knows that these acres of land belong to Lord Ning, and Lord Ning loves us little people the most, he said that when he receives the goods, he will take out two melons and let everyone taste the taste of this melon, and everyone who comes here today will have a share!"

After Village Chief Ning finished speaking, the crowd was like cold water poured into hot oil and exploded.

"Old man Ning, what you said is true or false? Don't you fool us?"

"Can you really give us a taste?"

Village Chief Ning blew his beard and glared at him and said, "Can I fool you? Eat if you like, pull down if you don't eat, leave as soon as you don't believe, and others can eat a few more bites."

Everyone didn't mind being scolded by him, and laughed, "Oh, aren't we a little unbelievable? This good thing doesn't even need money for us to eat."

While they were talking, the clever ones had already turned around and ran, ready to pull their own house, the whole family over, and they didn't eat the free things for nothing, and it was food they had never seen before, so they couldn't let it go.

It would be better if you could eat enough here and save your family a meal.

And when Village Chief Ning arranged for the life to cook pumpkins in a fire pot, the crowd around him gathered more and more.

After hearing the news, even the county order rushed over, not to eat this bite, but simply shocked by the yield of pumpkins.
