"Potato?" The shopkeeper noticed Su Jian and paused for a moment, wondering how could a young man with such an unworldly temperament appear in his shop.
"My young master is asking a question, why don't you answer it quickly?" Blind Xiong urged the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper came back to his senses and was surprised that Su Jian was actually with Xiong Xiongzi: "It turns out to be the young master of the General's Mansion. Please forgive me for being rude, but... what is a potato?"
"Potato."
"What's a potato?"
"..." Su Jian knew it well. When she looked around just now, she didn't find potatoes. But she was lucky. After asking, the result was also expected: "In addition to the seeds and seedlings placed outside, the shopkeeper also
Are there any others that haven’t been displayed?”
The shopkeeper looked at Su Jian without any trace, and knew that Su Jian was not joking. In addition, Xiong Xiong was a reliable person, so he said: "There are some in the warehouse, but they are all broken, not good or out of season."
Seeds for sale.”
"Can I go take a look?" Su Jian really wanted to take a look. According to Xiong Xiazi, this is the largest seed store. If she can't find the seeds she wants here, then she probably won't be able to find them elsewhere.
arrive.
"OK."
Su Jian and Xiong Xiong followed the shopkeeper around the door on the side of the shop and walked into the backyard of the shop. Looking at the room pointed by the shopkeeper, she knew that the warehouse of the seed shop was not big, but a room was set aside in the yard for storage.
Just seeds.
Su Jian followed behind the shopkeeper. As the shopkeeper opened the door, she was greeted by a musty smell.
Xiong Da moved his nose, worried that Su Jian wouldn't be used to such a smell, and looked at Su Jian, wanting her not to go in. However, looking at Su Jian's expression, his expression was as usual, even more natural than the shopkeeper's behavior.
After Su Jian got the shopkeeper's consent, she entered the room. The room was filled with various seeds. Although the number was small, it was almost the same as what was placed outside. Some were not placed, and some were not suitable for sowing in spring.
seed.
No potatoes.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Su Jian's eyes. Potatoes are a high-yield crop and are suitable for sandy soil. It's a pity that they couldn't find them: "Shopkeeper, I have a little suggestion for you. I hope you don't think I'm nosy."
"Young master, feel free to mention it."
"The damaged seeds and seedlings in the warehouse must be disposed of as soon as possible. Mold is very contagious and will affect other good seeds and seedlings. Moreover, people should not smell mold often, as it is not good for the body." Su Jian said seriously.
After listening to Su Jian's words, the shopkeeper slapped his head fiercely: "Look at my memory. I have been thinking about something I forgot to do. When I smelled this smell, I remembered that I had sorted out a few sacks of corn seeds.
"The seeds are good, but they are moldy. I will find someone to throw them away after a while."
"Moldy corn seeds." A flash of light flashed in Su Jian's eyes: "Why throw them away? The shopkeeper can sell the moldy corn seeds to farmers. It is a very good fertilizer."
The shopkeeper's eyes changed when he looked at Su Jian for a moment, and then he chuckled, knowing in his heart that a young master like Su Jian couldn't really farm: "Young master, you don't know, you can't use moldy corn seeds."
Fertilizer, using it as fertilizer will damage the roots of crops, and the gain outweighs the gain."
Su Jian shook her head: "The situation you are talking about should be that the moldy corn seeds have not been fertilized. Direct use will definitely damage the roots of the crops. However, after fertilization, it is not only beneficial to the growth of crops, but also good for the land."
Fat."
Maybe these moldy corn seeds can be used to fertilize the sandy land after being made into fertilizer. Su Jian thought about this, and her heartbeat intensified.
"..."
When Su Jian saw that the shopkeeper didn't speak, she knew that he didn't believe her, so she wasn't angry: "If the shopkeeper didn't do this, you'd have to throw away these moldy corn seeds anyway, so just sell them to me cheaply."
The shopkeeper's eyes changed when he looked at Su Jian. Although it was a good thing that the moldy seeds to be thrown away could be sold for money, he didn't know what to say when he encountered such a fool.
Su Jian pulled off her purse from her waist and quickly thought about the original owner's understanding of prices in her mind. But after recalling it for a while, she found that she still didn't understand the prices here. In order to avoid giving more money, give less money.
Embarrassed, she luckily let the shopkeeper take it himself.
When the shopkeeper saw Su Jian opening her purse, clearly asking her to take the money by herself, he hesitated in his heart, but his body was very honest. When he reacted, he had already taken twenty coins from Su Jian's purse: "
It’s meant to be thrown away, and it’s really not a good idea to sell it to you again, so why don’t I give you sacks of discolored soybeans?”
"Discolored soybeans?" Su Jian's heart moved. She saw the shopkeeper coming to the side and dragging over a sack. She took a closer look and saw that it was mung beans!
Mung beans are a good thing.
The mung beans in the sack are even better. They are huge and plump. If you don’t recognize them, you would think that the soybeans have cheated on you and changed their color. It is normal.
"These beans have a tendency to sprout and get moldy. These beans are usually planted after the weather is hot, and they will be thrown away." The shopkeeper saw Su Jian looking at the beans in the sack without saying anything, thinking that she was disgusted. But the same thing
They are all moldy and spoiled seeds. There is no reason why she should care less about corn seeds and despise these beans.
Could it be that his perception was wrong? The shopkeeper took back his thoughts and was not going to send it away. He just listened:
"The shopkeeper is willing to give it to me, so of course I am willing to take it." Su Jian was secretly happy. It seemed that she had not gained anything from her visit to the shop today: "Does the shopkeeper have soybeans here? If so, I would like to buy some too."
"..." The shopkeeper looked at Su Jian, unable to recover from her transformation for a while. When Su Jian spoke again, he said: "Yes, yes, how much do you want, young master?"
On the carriage ride back.
Liniang quietly glanced at Su Jian who was looking through the newly bought books. Seeing that Su Jian didn't notice her, she carefully stared at the sack in the center of the carriage.
"Miss, I heard just now that the seeds you bought can't be loaded into one cart, and the shopkeeper will send another cart later, right?"
Su Jian nodded, put down the book in her hand, and looked at the sack filled with lime. In this society, many things are lacking, such as alkali. She went to several stores and couldn't buy it, but she was also lucky.
Yes, she bought a lot of chili peppers and the like: "When I get back, I will compile a list, and you can buy some for me when you go into town tomorrow."
"yes."
Blind Xiong listened to the conversation in the car while driving. Although he did not speak, his face was incomprehensible. My wife went to the city to spend money to buy seeds as a good thing to help them, but... all she bought were moldy seeds... No,
Soybeans are good. But the shopkeeper said that now is not the time to plant soybeans.
this……
Is Madam really reliable?
Could his previous feeling be wrong?
Why does he now have the feeling that his wife is less reliable than them?
