Chapter 27 Buying Seeds

After getting up, he quickly waited on the girl, this time she didn't put her on the bed.

A few days ago, I bought a big mat outside, spread it directly on the ground, and put a mattress on it, and she and the child will sleep on the ground from now on.

Put the bed away and put it out of the way.

The child is getting bigger and bigger, she is really afraid that if she is not paying attention, Linger will fall from the top.

After finishing these things, Linger was coaxed to sleep on the big mat on the ground.

This time she didn't go out of the space directly, but went to the edge of the ground to have a look. Overnight, almost all the strawberry seedlings sprouted.

The success rate of seedlings has reached over 90%. Thinking that strawberries will be sold in a few days, and there is another item that will bring in money, she smiled naively.

The premise is that there are sellers of this thing here. It seems that I can’t always set up a stall, so I have to take some time to go to Fucheng to find out.

It's a bit ashamed to say that she still doesn't know which dynasty it is, like a frog in a well, only seeing this area, and even talking to others doesn't seem to involve the issue of the dynasty.

Come out of the space and look at the weather outside. Although the sky is still cloudy, it is not so heavy anymore. I think it will not rain today.

After a casual breakfast, she went to Xiuzhuang. She didn't plan to go out to the stall today.

Without the sun, there would be fewer people eating melons and buying ice, so she had to do her own business when she caught cold.

"Sister Lu, I'll go to Fucheng to have a look. If it's too late, I won't be back today. Let me tell you so you won't worry."

"Would you like me to come with you?"

"No need, I can go by myself, do you need something to come back?"

"There's nothing to do, you have to focus more on embroidery, otherwise I'll have nothing to do with others."

"Got it, I can't do without you, let's go."

"protect yourself."

"knew"

After speaking, she walked to the official road, and soon took a carriage to the south of Fucheng.

Although it is a bit more expensive, the carriage is fast. If it goes well, you can make a round trip on the same day.

Sitting in the carriage, she didn't say a word, and silently listened to the conversations of the other people in the carriage.

Going south, you will pass through a town, a county seat, and then two towns before arriving at Fucheng.

The town to the north of Tianshui Town is called Tianhe Town, the town to the south is called Tiannan Town, and the county seat is called Yixian County.

The names of these places are very auspicious and easy to pronounce, so she remembered them in her heart.

The carriage ran for two hours on the road, and when it arrived at the Acropolis, she almost vomited.

Wooden wheels are really good when they turn, and the road is better if it is flat. If it encounters a bad road section, the whole person will fall apart.

Qiao Mai jumped out of the car and gave the driver fifty coins.

"Brother, may I ask, which dynasty are we in now?"

The coachman glanced at her and smiled.

"At first glance, you are a woman who stays at home all year round and doesn't know anything. Let me tell you, this is the Ming Dynasty, and the current emperor's surname is Liu. Kang, the old man hopes that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, so you know this time.”

"Ah, ah, I see, thank you, big brother."

"Are you going back to Tianshui Town?"

"I shouldn't be able to go back today. If I want to go back, I have to go back tomorrow."

"At this time of noon every day, I wait for customers outside the North City Gate. If you want to drive, come here to find me."

Qiao Mai brushed his lower body at him, paid a copper coin to enter the city, and followed the crowd into the city.

She walked slowly on the side of the road, looking around from time to time, and she would go to see what was sold at the stalls.

This point is the point where vendors place their goods. There are many people on the road and there are constant calls.

It’s a blessing that it is Fucheng, which sells more than those in small towns.

Now that you see it, why don’t you buy some?

So, I bought some leeks, green peppers, red peppers, loofah, etc., and I also bought a bamboo basket to carry on my back as a cover for myself.

There are also many types of shops in Fucheng. Along the way, I even saw a seed shop.

Specializes in selling seeds, oops, she almost screamed and ran into the shop.

Looking at the shelves, every cloth bag was open, and she recognized some of the seeds exposed. There were vegetable seeds, grain seeds, and medicinal seeds in them, which looked quite alive.

She stood in front of the counter, grinned at the seeds, her eyes were not enough, and she felt that this seed shop was opened just for her.

Now there is no need to pick up strawberry seeds with tweezers. With so many seeds, a quarter of the same land is enough for her to plant for several years.

"Little lady, are you buying seeds?"

It was the buddy's words that woke Qiao Mai up.

"Yes, you have a lot of seeds here."

"It's okay, there are seeds from the north and the south, what kind of seeds do you want?"

"I want them all, I want them all."

There were two black lines on the guy's forehead, "Our store has expensive ones, some cheap ones, and some sold by grain. How do you want to buy them?"

"Give me a small pack of the cheap ones, and give me a hundred pills of the expensive ones."

The buddy swallowed, and made sure again, "Everything?"

"Yes, everything!"

The clerk sized her up and said, "If you buy all the seeds in this shop, it will cost at least a dozen taels of silver."

Qiao Mai rolled his eyes, "I'm not crazy, and I have no grudge against your store. Buying seeds is buying seeds. What's the matter, is it interesting for me to lie to you?"

Upon hearing this, the man confirmed that the little woman had indeed come to buy seeds.

So he greeted warmly, "Hey, please wait a moment, little lady, I will weigh you for you."

The clerk quickly put a piece of paper on the counter, took out the bags in a certain order, weighed the seeds inside and put them on the paper, wrote the price on the outside of the paper, and wrapped it up, just like a pharmacy would grab medicine.

Qiao Mai found a chair and sat down, sending all the things in the back basket into the space.

Before I knew it, I took a nap on the chair, and the buddy had already wrapped the seeds.

The shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus, and then took a deep look at Qiao Mai, who was dressed plainly.

"Little lady, here are more than 300 packets of seeds, 200 packets of 50 Wen, a total of 10 taels, 100 packets of 100 Wen, 10 taels, 20 packets of 200 Wen, 4 Liang, 500 Wen Ten packs, five taels, a total of twenty-nine taels."

Qiao Mai took out a cloth bag from the back basket, took out three ingots of ten taels of silver from it, and put them on the table.

The shopkeeper silently looked for her for a while, and the clerk put the seeds into her back basket graciously, counting them in front of her while putting them away.

Qiao Mai covered the back basket with a piece of cloth, put the back basket on his back, and was about to turn around and leave.

The shopkeeper called her to stop, "Little lady, excuse me, what are you buying so many seeds for?"

"My family is going to buy land, and I want to try every kind of seeds to see what kind of seeds are suitable for the soil in my land."

"I see."

The shopkeeper said in his heart that it was quite audacious to try with more than twenty taels of seeds, and judging by her clothes, she didn't look like someone who was too rich.

After coming out of the seed shop, Qiao Mai was in a particularly good mood. It was almost noon, and she hadn't eaten yet, so she took an apple from the space and gnawed it to quench her thirst and hunger.

It's rare to come to Fucheng once, she can't waste time, she must take a good look around the ancient Fucheng.

Unexpectedly, she was so casual that she almost had an accident.

While she was wandering intently, a small tail followed her. At first she thought it was a pedestrian, but after walking for a long time, she felt that the tail was indeed following her.

So he turned around and stared at the little tail who was only three or four meters away from her.

"What are you doing with me?"

Xiao Tail looks like a ten-year-old boy, well dressed and handsome.

When he saw that Qiao Mai only had an apple mustache in his hand, tears welled up in his eyes, looking very aggrieved.

"Auntie, I want to eat fruit."

A ten-year-old boy should be sensible in ancient times, and he would not follow others after seeing a fruit.

He is like this, Qiao Mai judged, there is something wrong with his head!
