Chapter 110: Buying Tea Trees and Getting Disaster
Shen Wanning pulled three hundred coins from her sleeve and handed it to the stall owner. "Here you go. I'll go get something to eat first and come back later."
"Okay, don't worry, girl. I'll leave ten for you later. You can come and get them anytime." The stall owner wiped his hands on his apron and took the copper coins.
"Okay, thank you, thank you for bothering you." Shen Wanning said thank you habitually.
After walking along the street for a while, her stomach began to growl. She randomly chose a shop, had a bowl of noodles, and ate a bag of glutinous rice cakes on the way.
After lunch, I went back to the roast duck restaurant. The stall owner had already packed her roast duck and tied it with a rope. "Girl, your roast duck is ready. Hold it. It's a bit heavy."
Shen Wanning took the roast ducks. Ten of them were indeed a bit heavy. She looked around and quickly walked to a deserted alley nearby. She dropped the roast ducks at the delivery station and then placed them in the lucky bag.
After eating, I followed the path the old woman had just mentioned to find a shop selling tea saplings.
Just after crossing the alley, on the right is a shop selling tea saplings. Many saplings planted in ceramic pots are placed in front of the shop.
In addition to tea trees, there are also osmanthus trees, grape trees, etc.
"Boss, if I buy a lot, could you please deliver the tree to my home?" Shen Wanning walked around the store and to her surprise, she found a chili tree.
This pepper tree is not an ordinary pepper, but a chili pepper, with several green and red peppers on it.
The boss, who had originally ignored her, looked her over and asked, "A large amount? I wonder how much the little girl is talking about?"
"Is 40,000 tea trees considered a large number?" Shen Wanning asked after thinking for a moment.
"Forty thousand trees? Can you plant that many trees?"
"Of course. My family is planning to start a tea business recently, so they want me to buy some tea trees to try."
"You? You can't." The boss shook his head and turned to water other trees.
"Why can't I do it?" Shen Wanning became stubborn and walked up to the boss and asked.
"I've never seen a woman doing business before. Your man has to talk to me about this matter. You don't have the final say." The boss continued to water the trees leisurely, obviously not taking Shen Wanning seriously.
"I have the final say in my family and I manage all the business matters, so I can make the decision on this little matter."
But the boss was stubborn and said, "No, no, doing business with women is the most troublesome. Let your man do it."
Shen Wanning couldn't help but feel a little angry. Whether in modern times or ancient times, she had never met anyone who looked down on women so much in her business.
"I just don't believe that I can't buy anything with money!" After saying that, Shen Wanning left angrily, ready to see if there were any shops selling tea saplings in Fuzhou City.
Looking at her back, the boss called out, "Little girl, don't disbelieve me. Although there are many shops selling tea trees in Fuzhou, I am the only one who can sell so many tea trees."
Shen Wanning sighed deeply. The boss's words were probably true. However, she still wanted to visit other shops selling saplings. Perhaps she'd find something unexpected.
Walking along the street, she only saw two shops selling saplings. She went up to ask and found that just as the shop owner had said, neither shop had that many tea saplings.
She walked dejectedly down the street and asked several people along the way. Each time, they pointed to the first store, but when she asked more, they didn't know.
Lin Jingyou was sitting in the Juxiang library, reading a book. Yan Hui, the fat boy, couldn't sit still and kept circling around him.
"Brother Jingyou, I'd like to invite you to Guangjuxuan for dinner tonight! I heard there's a new chef there, and his food is really delicious."
Lin Jingyou turned around and continued reading without saying anything.
"Brother Jingyou, I heard there's a new beauty coming to Yihonglou. Even the former top courtesan is outshined by her. How about I take you to see her tonight?"
Lin Jingyou sat there, motionless as a mountain, as if he didn't hear what he said.
Yan Hui pouted, "How boring! Brother Jingyou reads books all day long without any entertainment. Don't you feel bored?"
Lin Jingyou flipped through the pages of his book, ignoring the question. Yan Hui slumped over the table, his chin resting on his arm, watching the people passing by on the street outside.
"Hey, Brother Jingyou, your cousin, look, your cousin!" Yan Hui suddenly patted Lin Jingyou's arm and shouted in surprise, pointing outside the door.
Seeing that Lin Jingyou had no reaction, he stood up anxiously and said, "Brother Jingyou, I really saw your cousin just now. Look quickly, she will leave if you don't look at her."
Yan Hui hurriedly pulled Lin Jingyou up from his seat. "I'm telling the truth. I really saw your cousin."
Yan Hui pulled Lin Jingyou out, and Lin Jingyou hurriedly put the book away. "Brother Yan, please don't make such jokes."
"I'm not kidding, I really saw your cousin, she was all alone." Walking to the door, Yan Hui looked around, looking in the direction where Shen Wanning had just gone, and finally saw Shen Wanning, with only her head sticking out of the crowd.
"Look, look, that's your cousin. I just watched her pass by." Yan Hui stood on tiptoe and pointed at Shen Wanning.
"My cousin is in Daqing Village. No matter how far away, she will only go to Qinghe County. It is impossible for her to come to Fuzhou. What's more, her family will not feel comfortable letting a woman come to Fuzhou alone." Lin Jingyou brushed away his hand, his tone still as serious as ever.
Yan Hui waved his hand and said, "Oh, I really saw it. I'll go find my cousin right now. I don't believe I could be wrong."
After saying this, Yan Hui rushed out, pushing through the crowd and ran forward. He stood on tiptoe and looked around as he ran, and finally, exhausted and out of breath, he arrived behind Shen Wanning.
He panted and patted Shen Wanning's shoulder, "Cousin Lin!"
Shen Wanning turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "You are... my third brother's classmate? Last time when we were selling milk tea at Bailu Academy, you were the one who treated the other students to milk tea, right? I remember you."
"Hey, cousin Lin has such a good memory that she can even remember me." After saying that, he nodded, "Yes, yes, I am Brother Jingyou's classmate. I was just reading in the study with Brother Jingyou when I saw you walking past the door. I told Brother Jingyou that I saw you, but he didn't believe it!"
"So my third brother is nearby?" Shen Wanning asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's over there at the Juxiang Bookstore. Cousin, you must go and see Brother Jingyou. Let him see that I didn't lie to him." Yan Hui pointed in the direction they came from and said happily.
"Okay then. I'll go with you to see my third brother. I need his help with something." With that, the two of them walked towards Juxiang Book House.
When they reached the door, Yan Hui shouted before he saw Lin Jingyou, "Brother Jingyou, I told you I saw your cousin!"
