Chapter 136

"Grandma, those people were poisoned because they ate this sprouted melon. As long as the melon didn't turn green and didn't germinate, it was definitely not poisonous, but if it turned green and sprouted, the melon would change. It's poisonous, you have to remember it well, and tell everyone who buys melons clearly, so that no one else will die because of it."

When Grandma heard this, she immediately patted her thigh: "No wonder, last time my little grandson took a sprouted melon and roasted it, and he vomited and had diarrhea that night. After taking the medicine, I slowly got better, it turned out to be because I ate this sprouted melon."

Bai Zhi nodded: "Yes, because of this, you must be careful in the future, don't be reluctant to throw it away."

Grandma sighed: "What can I do if I can't bear it, the soil melons at home are piled up into hills, and our family sells it outside every day, but we can't sell it at all. Now, no one in Qingyuan Town is willing to do so. I'm afraid no one wants to eat melon for nothing."

Bai Zhi hurriedly said: "Grandma, I want all of your melons."

Grandma looked happy, but then shook her head again: "No, no, you little girl, what are you doing buying so many potatoes, you don't have to do this to pity my old woman."

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "Grandma, I don't feel sorry for you. I plan to grow melons in my own land. I came to the market today to buy melons."

Grandma hurriedly waved her hand: "But I can't plant it. No one eats this melon now. Doesn't it mean that you will end your life by planting it?"

Bai Zhi said: "It's a matter of human effort. I believe that more and more people will like to eat melon by then."

Grandma saw her serious face, not joking, so she stopped persuading her: "Forget it, when people bury their heads and walk forward, how do they know how to turn back without hitting a wall? You can plant them if you want."

Grandma brought the two baskets of melons to the two of them: "You can take it back, it's just twenty cents."

Two cents a pound, twenty cents is ten pounds, but she just carried this basket, not to mention two baskets, even a basket is more than ten pounds.

She took out a piece of broken silver from her purse, about six coins, and put the silver into Grandma's hand, "Grandma, this is Tugua money, you keep it."

Grandma saw that she gave so much, how could she accept it, she was about to refuse, but saw that Bai Zhi gave her another piece of silver, at least four coins, "This is the money to buy two baskets, don't refuse, you should get it. Yes, I'm leaving, grandma take care."

She turned around, squeezed into the crowd behind Hu Feng, and quickly disappeared in front of Grandma.

Grandma's eyes were slightly wet, and she sighed for a long time, trying to find her figure from the crowd, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

Carrying the two baskets of potatoes back to the ox cart, Hu Feng pointed at the potatoes and asked, "Are you really going to plant this?"

Bai Zhi nodded: "Of course, do you think I'm joking?"

"But if you eat this thing, people will die. If you plant it, who will buy it? Are you planning to put it all in the ground?"

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "I have my own plans, you don't have to worry about this, since I plan to plant, I have already thought about the way back, don't worry."

Hu Feng's nose snorted, and he thought to himself, what's wrong with me, what's up with me?

The two entered the market again, planning to buy some vegetables and meat, but who knew that the meat stalls in the market were all sold out, and they didn't even buy a piece of meat.

"Boss, what day is today? It's not too late, why are all the meat sold out?" Bai Zhi asked the owner of the meat stall who was closing the stall.
