Looking at the old lady's regretful expression that she couldn't afford spices, Liu Chang felt that he was useless.

"Mother, you don't have to provide for your father to study now, you can save money this year, and your son will definitely buy you the spices you want next year."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue hurriedly waved her hand and refused, "It's too expensive, that's not spices, that's a lot of silver and gold." ”

"It's so expensive, if we can buy seeds for planting, can we also sell them at a high price?"

Li Sanqiang, who was on the side, explained to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, these spices are all dried or concocted by other methods, and they cannot be planted. ”

Li Xiaoyue was dumbfounded!

No wonder these things are so expensive, it turns out that the Great Yan Dynasty can't grow them!

With her current abilities, she simply couldn't get the seeds and saplings of these spices.

This way of making money doesn't work, and it continues to be crossed out.

"That's a shame." Li Xiaoyue regretted in her heart, but quickly cheered up again, "Continue to take a look, it's also interesting if you don't buy it." ”

Li Sanqiang saw that his aunt had put it down, so he dared to continue to introduce, "Sister-in-law, there are rare gadgets shipped from other countries over there, which are quite interesting, let's go and have a look." ”

Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, "Yes, go and have a look, maybe you can find something good." ”

Following Li Sanqiang to the most marginal row, Li Xiaoyue saw all kinds of strange plants, as well as seeds from other countries.

There are many exotic flowers and potted plants, and Li Xiaoyue was born in a farmer's family and has not studied much about flowers.

It wasn't flowering season yet, and she recognized a flower, tulips.

When asked, the price is still very expensive.

In addition to raising a lot of meat, she has never raised flowers. For areas that she is not good at, Li Xiaoyue does not want to take risks.

Walking to the seed area, Li Xiaoyue, who was born in a farmer's family, instantly saw the seeds she was familiar with.

Cotton seeds!

Nowadays, people are wearing linen clothes, which are fine in summer, but in winter, there are no cotton jackets, cotton pants, and quilts.

Cotton and cotton cloth were all tributed from farther away in the Western Regions, and ordinary people had never seen it.

The rich are wrapped in leather jackets and leather pants, and the poor people have nothing to do, so they don't go out at all, so they can only hide at home around the brazier for the winter.

Li Xiaoyue walked around the nearby stalls for a while, and the cotton seeds were placed in the most corner, and the merchants and people who came and went didn't look at them, and no one cared.

Li Xiaoyue felt that it was possible to pick up the leak.

Li Xiaoyue deliberately asked about the other seeds, and then asked, "What kind of seed is this?" Why haven't you seen it? ”

"It's called a white stack, and it grows white white stacks, as soft and white as the clouds in the sky."

Li Xiaoyue was even more sure that this was a cotton seed, which was smaller than the seeds carefully cultivated in her previous life, but the color was about the same.

"How do you sell this?" Li Xiaoyue asked, the current family conditions, can eat enough, but the satin fur can't afford to wear, she wants to wear a cotton jacket and cotton pants and a quilt.

Seeing that someone was buying, the Western Regions merchant's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "That bag has three catties and ten taels of silver." ”

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue immediately stopped asking and pretended to go to the stall next door.

Finally, I asked the price, and the merchants of the Western Regions wanted to sell the white stacked seeds as soon as possible, after all, they had been on the table for two days, and if they didn't sell them today, they could only throw them away when the transaction ended tomorrow.

After all, when you go back, you have to bring other goods, and it is impossible to bring this thing back and occupy space.

"This lady, don't go. You Dayan people have a saying, ask for a price all over the sky, sit on the ground and pay back, you can bargain! ”

Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and called me Auntie, then don't blame Auntie for being polite, bargain to your bones!

When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she pondered for a moment, and then said, "One or two silver." ”

The merchant from the Western Regions was dumbfounded, a little annoyed and angry, "Auntie, you are not sitting on the ground to pay the money, you are sitting at the bottom of the cliff and bargaining." A tael of silver is too little, and you can raise it a little more. ”

Just when Li Xiaoyue wanted to continue to bargain, Li Sanqiang on the side was worried that his sister-in-law had really bought white stacked seeds. "Sister-in-law, someone bought it before, but it was easy to get worms, and most of them died of disease. Even if there are still good plantings, the white stacks that grow are very small, and there are almost no white stacks. ”

Liu Changfu also hurriedly agreed, "Mother, I've heard of it too, don't buy it, it's a waste of money." ”

Li Xiaoyue hesitated, observing the slightly nervous expressions of the merchants in the Western Regions from time to time, "Originally, I wanted to buy it back and try it, since someone has tried it, then forget it, lest I spend money to buy seeds in vain and return them, wasting land." ”

When the merchants of the Western Regions saw that Li Xiaoyue was leaving, they were immediately anxious, and hurriedly picked up the burlap bag containing the white stacked seeds and handed it to Li Xiaoyue, "One or two silver deals!" ”

The price was reduced so smoothly, which suddenly made Li Xiaoyue feel that the counteroffer just now was too high.

Liu Changfu saw that the merchants in the Western Regions were forcibly sold, so he hurriedly stopped his mother's side, "You didn't sell it just now, but now you sell it again, are you cheating us?" ”

The merchant of the Western Regions was ruined and his intestines were blue, in fact, he knew that the white stacked seeds were not easy to sell here, but he pretended to be wrong when he came.

"I bid, you counteroffer, I agreed, according to the rules, you have to make a deal. If you don't buy it, I'll report it to the officials of the field, and you won't want to come to the market to buy anything in the future. ”

There is indeed such a rule!

"Obviously, you think we are bidding low, so we won't sell it." Liu Changfu felt that this merchant from the Western Regions was very cunning.

The merchant of the Western Regions looked serious, "I thought about it a little and felt that the price was acceptable, so I decided to sell it." ”

Liu Changfu wanted to say, but was stopped by Li Sanqiang, "Since it is seeds, we have to check whether these seeds are ripe?" ”

The merchant of the Western Regions breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's natural, you can pick five seeds and cut them for inspection." ”

Li Sanqiang stretched out his hand and took out five cotton seeds from different positions in the burlap bag, and cut them with a sharp knife, which were seeds that could be planted.

"Sister-in-law buy it, it's such a rule here. In the future, you must be cautious about making a counteroffer. ”

Li Xiaoyue walked to the stall again and saw the black sesame seeds, "It's okay to let me pay, but you have to give me a handful of that black seed." ”

"It's very expensive, I can't do it, I can give a handful." The merchant of the Western Regions is reluctant to sell sesame seeds, and he can't sell them, and he can still make them into flatbread fillings, which are fragrant.

This thing and the white stack seed were misplaced by him, not flower seeds.

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Changfu, you have big hands, pinch a little more." ”

Liu Changfu also felt that he was at a loss by pinching, so he spit a little on his hand, and pinched a large handful of three fingers.

Li Xiaoyue took out a handkerchief and hurriedly wrapped it, this handful was estimated to have thousands of grains, handed over a tael of silver, and took away the burlap bag containing cotton seeds.

The merchants of the Western Regions were in pain, but they couldn't help it.

From the beginning to the end, other flower seeds are very expensive, and Li Xiaoyue is not interested.

Li Xiaoyue saw the mess not far away, "Sanqiang, what is that?" ”

Li Sanqiang looked over and replied: "That's where the garbage is thrown in the field, and there are broken and dead things, and they are all thrown over there." Wait until the three-day trading is over, and then clean up. ”

As soon as she heard this, Li Xiaoyue had a strong urge to pick up garbage in her heart, "Let's go, go and see." ”

Liu Changfu and his cousin Li Sanqiang in the back looked at each other, crying and laughing, but they had to keep up.

When Li Xiaoyue walked to the garbage heap and saw the plants scattered on the edge of the garbage heap, she was so excited that her heart was about to jump out.
