The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 140 Encountering Medicinal Seeds

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xi appeared under the big tree at the back door of Fulin Restaurant. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she moved the two sacks of peppers that Xiaobai had just packed out of the boundary bead, and then carried a sack in each hand and entered the backyard of Fulin Restaurant.

"Hey! Miss Lin, you're finally here! Are these peppers?"

Chef Zhang, who came to the backyard to use the toilet, just came out of the toilet and saw Lin Xi carrying a sack into the yard. He greeted him happily, took the sack and put it on the ground, opened it impatiently, and looked into the sack.

When he saw that the two large sacks were full of chili peppers, he immediately smiled so hard that he couldn't stop.

"Haha! Miss Lin, that's great. With this pepper, I can cook the dishes you taught me tonight. Wait a moment, I'll call the shopkeeper over to settle your bill!"

After saying that, he turned around and trotted into the restaurant.

In just a moment, the shopkeeper came to the backyard in a hurry. He walked quickly to Lin Xi and laughed, "Miss Lin, thanks to you, our Fulin Restaurant is going to be popular again!"

After saying that, he turned around and told the waiter to weigh the peppers.

"You are too polite, boss. We are cooperating for mutual benefit!"

Lin Xi smiled and waved to the shopkeeper politely.

At this time, the waiter who had just weighed the peppers came over happily and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, there are a full 100 kilograms of peppers!"

"Okay, okay, Miss Lin, here are two taels of silver, please keep them!"

Hearing the weight reported by the waiter, the shopkeeper laughed heartily with satisfaction, took out a piece of silver and handed it to Lin Xi politely.

Then he asked the waiter to pack several snacks for her before happily sending her out the back door.

After completing several important planned tasks, Lin Xi strolled leisurely on the street.

When passing by a grain shop, Lin Xi saw all kinds of grains and vegetable seeds placed in front of the shop. His eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

"Hey, how do you sell all this food?"

Seeing the guest coming, the waiter came up to greet him warmly and told Lin Xi the price of the food one by one.

The price of food has risen again! Lin Xi frowned and thought to himself, I have to tell the villagers when I go back, and they should prepare more food.

Seeing Lin Xi frowning, the clerk thought she was complaining about the high prices of their food, so he quickly explained, "Sir, our food store is not raising the prices intentionally. Because of the war, the shopkeeper went to buy food, and the prices have increased a lot compared to before. You can ask other shops, and they are all charging the same price now!"

"Got it, weigh 20 kilograms of each for me!"

Lin Xi nodded and said with a smile.

"Okay! Please wait a moment, I will weigh it for you right away!"

After taking the food weighed by the waiter, Lin Xi pointed at the row of seeds and asked, "What kind of seeds are these?"

"These are some common vegetable seeds, including cabbage, leek, spinach, radish..."

The variety was quite complete. Lin Xi nodded with satisfaction. After asking the price, she asked the waiter to pack a pound of each item for her.

Just as Lin Xi was about to leave, the clerk ran out of the shop with a basket in his arms, and said to Lin Xi with a smile, "Sir, we still have some cotton seeds here, do you want some?"

The guy looked at Lin Xi expectantly. She had just bought so many seeds, and she might be interested in cotton seeds as well!

Cotton is not grown in Guandong Prefecture at all. I don't know what the shopkeeper was thinking last time, he was so kind that he bought all the goods from a passing merchant, saying that it would give the merchant money to go home. The merchant now has money, but the cotton seeds are still in their hands. I hope I can get rid of some of them today.

Lin Xi's eyes lit up. She was thirsty for cotton seeds. Although the climate here was not suitable for growing cotton, she had the precious world beads, which allowed her to grow everything!

"Is that all?"

Lin Xi pointed at the seeds at the bottom of the basket, frowned and asked.

When the waiter heard her words, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Sir, would you like some more? We still have some in the shop. I'll bring it out for you right away!"

After that, he trotted into the shop, shouting excitedly as he ran: "Boss, help me move the cotton seeds, there are customers who want cotton seeds!"

Lin Xi shook his head speechlessly. Does he know how to do business? Just because of his excitement, the buyer must be pushing the price down!

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the waiter and a young man coming out, each carrying a large sack!

"Miss, do you want cotton seeds? Look, these seeds are of very good quality, but since cotton is not grown here, it's hard to sell them!"

The young man looked at Lin Xi with a warm smile on his face and said.

"Since you know that cotton seeds are not needed here, why did the shopkeeper buy this?"

Lin Xi was puzzled and raised his eyebrows to ask.

"Oh! Don't mention it. It's all because of my boss' kindness. The merchant wanted to sell the seeds from Guanxi Prefecture and go home, but he didn't expect that Guanxi Prefecture was occupied by the Jin soldiers and Guanzhong Prefecture was also at war. He couldn't go back. He fled all the way here and had to take a long way back. However, he couldn't sell the goods and didn't have enough money. My boss was kind-hearted and took all his goods. There were not only these cotton seeds, but also many very expensive medicinal seeds. Oh, he really lost a lot!"

The young clerk rushed to answer, and it seemed that he was even more anxious than his boss. The boss next to him smiled embarrassedly.

Medicinal herb seeds?

Lin Xi's heart was beating fast with excitement. A light flashed in her eyes. She stared at the boy and asked, "Oh? What medicinal seeds do you have? Take them out and show them to me. I might be interested in them! Oh, I want all these cotton seeds!"

The young man jumped twice with joy, then ran into the shop to move the goods!

"Well, girl, why don't you reconsider and ask for less cotton seeds? They don't grow well here!"

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Xi and said seriously.

This guy is really honest, Lin Xi raised his eyebrows.

"It doesn't matter. I have my own uses. I want all the cotton seeds!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man walked out of the shop quickly, carrying a big bamboo basket on his back and a big bag in his hands.

"Girl, take a look, is there anything you need? The shopkeeper and I don't know these seeds, so we can't introduce them to you!"

The young man deftly took out small cloth bags from the bamboo basket and the big cloth bag, opened them and placed them in front of Lin Xi, looking at her embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I know him, I can just take a look myself!"

Lin Xi looked at the somewhat embarrassed waiter and the shopkeeper and said with a smile.

It’s no wonder they feel embarrassed. It’s quite rare for sellers to not know what they are selling.
