Chapter 208

"It is... a strange plant, people in the town call it ghost fire grass.

This kind of grass suddenly grew out of the ground half a month ago.

It has been a long time since crops grew in the field. At the beginning, everyone was very happy when it grew, and they thought that when they grew up, if they bear fruit, everyone would have something to eat.

Who would have thought that watching the willow's fire grow slowly, something like beans would grow out of its shell.

A few nights ago, those beans began to burst one after another, and the fruit that popped out of them would catch fire on the spot. "

Speaking of this, there was a trace of sadness in the old man's eyes.

"Girl, you don't know.

My old house just caught fire yesterday. Everyone has been working hard to pull out this damn thing for the past two days.

If you hadn't saved me just now, old man, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wait for my son to come home. "

Listening to the old man's words, Sang Yu set his eyes on a yellow-brown plant by the roadside.

"Is this what you said?"

Sang Yu pointed to the grass on the ground, and the old man nodded with resentment.

"That's it. It's something that has brought us a lot of trouble these two days."

Hearing this, Sang Yu nodded and walked over, bent down, and pulled up the plant with one hand.

Taking advantage of the glare of the fire, looking at the plant stalk in his hand with a few golden leaves on it, Sang Yu's eyes flashed slightly.

Things that had been forgotten in my mind seemed to suddenly become clearer.

Her eyes lit up, and she looked at the old man in front of her and smiled softly.

"Old man, are there many people living in your town?"

"Probably about a thousand people, why are you asking this?"

The old man looked at Sang Yu in puzzlement and said.

"Old man, this thing is indeed not edible, but it may have other value.

I'm migrating through here, and we have people in our team who can inspect special plants.

I just thought, go back and find someone to test it now, if I can really use this stuff in other places, maybe I can exchange them with grain from you. "

Sanyu smiled softly.

There was a gleam in the old man's dim eyes.

"Do you have food in your hand?"

"Well, so I should go back now.

At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, if it is confirmed that this thing is useful, I will bring food here and wait for you, okay? "

Sang Yu nodded slightly.

"Okay! That's it!"

The old man looked at the thing in Sang Yu's hand, and suddenly he didn't find it hateful anymore.

He began to expect that this thing would be of some value, that they would have food to eat.

After saying goodbye to the old man, Sang Yu rode a falcon back the same way.

Going back to test it was just a pretense, she had already remembered the usefulness of this thing, but it would be easy to ask people to exorbitant prices if she said it on the spot.

That's why she chose to come back the next day to lower the old man's expectations for the plant.

~~~
The next morning.

The old man was waiting at the place where he said goodbye to Sang Yu yesterday almost before six o'clock.

He told the mayor of his nephew about it, and the mayor was very excited when he found out, so he waited with the old man.

At eight o'clock, in the eager anticipation of an old and a middle-aged man, Sang Yu finally appeared.

"That's great, Xiaochun! If she really came, it means that we have some use for this thing, and we need food to eat!"

The old man burst into tears of excitement.

The mayor nodded slightly from the side, with a little excitement in his eyes.

"Awaited!"

Sang Yu chuckled and jumped off Falcon's back.

As she landed, the falcon retracted its flour-wrapped wings, and several sacks of flour fell to the ground.

Seeing the flour in front of them, the two men looked at Sang Yu even more eagerly.

"Girl, do you really need ghost fire grass? Is that thing worth much?

How do you want to trade with us? "

Before the old man could speak, the man who was the mayor couldn't help but speak first.

Sang Yu smiled lightly and offered a relatively fair price.

"One catty of ghost fire grass and two catties of flour, you can arrange the whole town to find grass together.

Today I will stay here all day, everyone can come to me to change.

But you have to make it clear to them, find grass in peace, and my falcon will help me supervise. "

"If someone fights and scrambles, I will just leave with the flour, and then everyone will get nothing."

To prevent trouble, Sang Yu warns by the way.

"Okay, don't worry, I will tell everyone."

Hearing what Sang Yu said, the mayor had a grateful look in his eyes.

With Sang Yu's words, everyone wanted food, and they didn't dare to engage in any messy thoughts.

"Girl, you are such a good person. I thank you on behalf of the people of Lian'an Town."

The nephew excitedly left to make arrangements, and the old man looked at Sang Yu gratefully.

After being issued a good person card, Sang Yu had a look of surprise in his eyes.

She wasn't strictly a good person.

Saving the old man was just thinking of Uncle Zhao, who was also handicapped, and his heart softened for no reason at that moment.

"You're being polite. I'm just a qualified businessman."

Sang Yu smiled lightly.

Knowing that a girl came to the town, she could exchange it with the ghost fire grass that dogs dislike now, even the townspeople in An Town were excited.

In one day, from morning to night, Sang Yu collected a lot of ghost fire grass.

Seeing the empty bags of flour after bag after bag, Sang Yu's mood became more and more elated.

Especially after she found space willing to accommodate the will-o'-the-wisps and planted them all in twelve patches of soil in the center of the four-tiered pond.

If the space is willing to store it, then she will have a steady stream of tobacco coming out in the future.

Sang Yu felt that there was a golden mountain beckoning to him again.

The sky turned from bright to dark again, and dozens of bags of flour brought by air by four falcons were empty.

Sang Yu stretched her waist, made sure that no one was coming to deliver the grass, and prepared to pack up her things and chase after the large army.

"That... this girl, I may ask you, if you leave, there will be ghost fire grass growing here, would you like to come back and collect it?"

Seeing that Sang Yu was about to leave, the mayor made some appointments, and asked the townspeople what they entrusted to him.

As soon as the mayor said this, a light flashed in Sang Yu's mind.

Long-term cooperation is a good thing. If the water and soil in Langan City can't grow this kind of tobacco, Lian'an Township is also pretty good as a cover.

"Okay! How about this, doesn't it mean that a batch of ghost fire weeds will mature in half a month?

Counting from today, I will let my falcon come every half a month, and then I will arrange for someone to bring the grain, and the grain will still be collected at today's price.

The ghost fire grass can be harvested two days in advance, and I don't mind doing it a little bit, but maybe the weight of the ghost fire grass will be a little lighter, and you will suffer a little loss. "

An idea quickly came to mind, and Sang Yu spoke slowly.
