The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 12 A surprise discovery near the garbage dump

Seeing the regretful expression on my mother's face because she couldn't afford the spices, Liu Chang felt that he was useless.

"Mom, you don't have to support dad's education now. If you can save money this year, my son will definitely buy you the spices you want next year."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue quickly waved her hand and refused, "It's too expensive. That's not spices, it'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 on the side explained to his sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, these spices are dried or prepared by other methods and cannot be grown."

Li Xiaoyue was dumbfounded!

No wonder these things are so expensive, it turns out they couldn’t be grown in the Yan Dynasty!
With her current ability, it is impossible to obtain the seeds and saplings of these spices.

This way of making money doesn’t work either, so keep crossing it out.

"That's such a pity." Li Xiaoyue felt regretful, but quickly cheered up, "Keep reading, it's also interesting if you don't buy everything."

Seeing that his aunt had put it down, Li Sanqiang dared to continue the introduction, "Sister-in-law, there are rare gadgets shipped from other countries over there. They are quite interesting. Let's go and take 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 edge row, Li Xiaoyue saw all kinds of strange plants and seeds for sale from other countries.

There are many exotic flowers and potted plants. Li Xiaoyue was born in a farm family and did not study much about flowers.

It was not the flowering season yet, but she recognized a flower, a tulip.

When I asked, the price was extremely expensive.

Apart from raising succulents, she has never raised flowers.Li Xiaoyue doesn't want to take risks in areas that she's not good at.

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 wear linen clothes, which is okay in summer, but in winter, there are no cotton-padded jackets, trousers and quilts.

The cotton cloth was brought as tribute from places further away in the Western Regions, and ordinary people had never seen it before.

The rich wear leather jackets and trousers, while the poor don't go out at all if they don't have big things to do. They can only spend the winter hiding at home around a fire pot.

Li Xiaoyue wandered around the nearby stalls for a while. The cotton seeds were placed in the corner, and the merchants and people who came and went didn't even look at them. No one cared about them.

Li Xiaoyue thought it might be missed.

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

"This is called Baidiezi. It grows white Baidiezi, which is as soft and white as the clouds in the sky."

Li Xiaoyue was even more certain that these were cotton seeds, smaller than the seeds carefully cultivated in her previous life, but similar in color.

"How to sell this?" Li Xiaoyue asked. With her current family conditions, she could have enough to eat, but she couldn't afford to wear silk and fur. She wanted to wear a cotton jacket, cotton trousers and a quilt.

When he saw someone buying it, the Western Region businessman's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "That bag contains three kilograms and ten taels of silver."

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

After finally asking for a price, the merchant from the Western Region wanted to sell the Baidianzi seeds as soon as possible. After all, it had been on display for two days. If he didn't sell them today, the sale would end tomorrow, so he had no choice but to throw them away.

After all, I have to take other goods with me when I go back. It is impossible to take this thing back and take up space.

"Auntie, don't leave. You Dayan people have a saying, if you ask for a high price, you have to sit on the ground to pay back. You can bargain!" Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes and called me aunt, so don't blame the aunt for being rude. You can get the best deal by bargaining. In your bones!
When Li Xiaoyue heard this, she thought about it for a moment, and then said: "One tael of silver."

The businessman from the Western Regions was stunned and a little angry, "Auntie, you are not sitting on the ground to pay back the money, you are sitting under the cliff to bargain. One tael of silver is too little, you can increase it more."

Just when Li Xiaoyue wanted to continue to bargain, Li Sanqiang next to him was worried that his sister-in-law had really bought Baidiezi seeds. "Sister-in-law, someone bought it before, but it was easy to get bugs and most of them died from the disease. Even if there are some good ones, the white seeds that grow are very small, and there are almost no white seeds."

Liu Changfu also quickly echoed, "Mom, I've heard about 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, "I originally wanted to buy it and try it out. Since someone has tried it and it doesn't work, let's forget it, so that I don't have to spend money to pay back the seeds and waste the land."

When the merchant from the Western Regions saw that Li Xiaoyue was leaving, he immediately became anxious. He quickly picked up the linen bag containing Baidianzi seeds and handed it to Li Xiaoyue, "Deal for one tael of silver!"

The price was reduced so smoothly, and Li Xiaoyue suddenly felt that the counteroffer just now was too high.

When Liu Changfu saw the merchants from the Western Regions selling forcibly, he quickly stopped beside his mother, "You didn't sell it just now, and you are selling it now. Are you trying to trick us?"

The businessman from the Western Regions was so ruined that his intestines turned green. In fact, he knew that Baidiezi seeds were not easy to sell here, but he pretended to be wrong when he came.

"I bid, you counter-offer, and I agree. According to the rules, the deal must be completed. If you don't buy, I will report it to the officials at the market. You will never come to the market to buy anything in the future."

There are indeed such rules!

"Obviously you don't want to sell because you think our price is low." Liu Changfu felt that this businessman from the Western Regions was very cunning.

The businessman from the Western Regions looked serious, "I thought about it for a while and thought the price was acceptable, so I decided to sell it."

Liu Changfu still wanted to say, but was stopped by Li Sanqiang, "Since they are seeds, we need to check whether these seeds are ripe?"

The businessman from the Western Region breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's natural. You can pick five seeds at random and cut them open for inspection."

Li Sanqiang stretched out his hand and took out five cotton seeds from different locations in the sack. He cut them with a sharp knife and found that they were seeds that could be planted.

"Sister-in-law, buy it. This is the rule here. You must be careful when making any counter-offers in the future."

Li Xiaoyue walked back to the stall and saw the black sesame seeds, "You can let me pay, but you have to give me a handful of those black seeds."

"This is very expensive. If you can't get enough of it, I can give you a pinch." A businessman from the Western Regions couldn't bear to part with sesame seeds and couldn't sell them. He could still make them into pie fillings, which were delicious.

He put this thing and the Bai Diazi seeds by mistake, not the flower seeds.

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Changfu, you have big hands, please squeeze more."

Liu Changfu also felt that he was suffering from not pinching enough, so he spit some saliva on his hand and pinched a large pinch with three fingers.

Li Xiaoyue took out the handkerchief and quickly wrapped it up. There were probably thousands of cotton seeds in this bunch. She handed over a couple of silver coins and took away the linen bag containing the cotton seeds.

The merchant from the Western Regions felt pain in his flesh, but there was nothing he could do.

From the beginning to the end of shopping, other flower seeds were very expensive, and Li Xiaoyue was not interested.

Li Xiaoyue saw the mess not far away, "The top three, what are those?"

Li Sanqiang looked over and replied: "That's the place where the forecourt throws away garbage. Any broken or dead things are thrown over there. Wait until the three days of foreclosure trading are over before cleaning up."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyue felt a strong urge to pick up trash, "Let's go and have a look."

Liu Changfu and his cousin Li Sanqiang behind him looked at each other, dumbfounded, but had to follow.

When Li Xiaoyue walked to the garbage dump and saw the plants scattered around the garbage pile, she was so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
