Chapter 97 Raft Shop
  Shen Jia instantly put away his careless expression and said seriously: "Where are the flowers from the Fan Gang? Take me to see them. If there are any suitable ones, I will buy two pots and take them back."

The shopkeeper glanced at Shen Hao and saw that he would buy whatever he wanted as long as his brother was happy, so he led them into the cabin.

The first thing Shen Jia saw was the sunflower standing proudly. Under the dazzling sunlight, the golden petals looked even brighter and brighter. Next to the petals is a dark green stamen, in which densely packed sunflower seeds have grown.

Shen Jia suppressed her excitement and continued to look at other potted plants as if nothing had happened.

From this look, she really saw two good things.

A flower pot is planted with peppers, which are already covered with peppers. Some are dazzlingly green and verdant; some are more red than green and have bright colors; some are fully mature and look particularly festive.

There is also a flower pot planted with tomatoes, with more than a dozen small lantern-like tomatoes on it.

This trip is really worth it! There are sunflowers, peppers, and tomatoes, and there will definitely be sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, and potatoes. Shen Jia is instantly full of fighting spirit and feels that he has found the way forward.

If you want to overthrow Zhou Shaoyun and Lin Xue, you must first destroy the Duke of Zhenguo, Concubine Lin and King Qi. Power, money and people are all indispensable.

Money can be earned and people can be cultivated, but power is a bit difficult to deal with?

Relying on the imperial examination to become an official is not enough. Shen Qichen is a student from a poor family. He attaches great importance to people's livelihood, encourages farming and mulberry farming, and has a dedicated work attitude. With outstanding political achievements and promotion by the current emperor, he has become a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in more than ten years, and finally Wasn't she killed by Lin Xue and the Zhenguo Gong group behind her?

It would not be strange for an upright official from a poor family with no foundation to be crushed to death by others from a century-old noble family that holds great power.

In this way, she can only take the wrong approach.

The current emperor has been on the throne for nearly 20 years. She is diligent and caring for the people, has clear rewards and punishments, and pays attention to farming. She can start with high-yield grain.

In this ancient world where food and clothing were scarce and productivity was extremely low, having food meant that there were people, and having people meant that the country was strong.

"Young Master, is there anyone you like?" the shopkeeper interrupted Shen Jia's random thoughts.

Shen Jia pointed to three pots of special flowers: sunflowers, peppers, and tomatoes, "Shopkeeper, how much do these three pots of flowers cost?"

The shopkeeper was secretly happy. It had been more than a month since he bought these three pots of flowers from the people of Bangbang. Many people had asked about them, but everyone thought they were too expensive. He had always been worried about whether he would lose all his money. Today, a willful young man who was not short of money came and suddenly took his fancy.

"Young Master, let me tell you the truth. I bought these three pots of flowers for eighty taels more than a month ago. Isn't it too much for me to charge you eighty-five taels now?"

Shen Hao's eyes widened, "What? Eighty taels? Why don't you go and grab it? Are you bullying us for being young?"

When Shen Hao said this, the shopkeeper looked a little embarrassed and defended, "Young Master, I didn't lie to you. I really bought it from the Fanbang people for eighty taels. At that time, he told me about these flowers. It can be viewed as an ornamental, and the fruits can also be eaten as vegetables when they are ripe. They also said that people over there like to eat them.

I bought it as soon as I got the idea. Who knew that more than a month after I bought it, many people asked about it, but no one bought it. Since you also think the price is too expensive, forget it. "

The shopkeeper's voice became lower and lower.

Shen Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "Who said we won't buy it?"

Shen Jia's voice sounded like the sound of nature to the shopkeeper's ears. He immediately raised his head and asked, "Do you really want to buy it?"

"Buy" Shen Jia nodded.

When Shen Hao saw that Shen Jia wanted to buy it, he didn't object. His sister was more knowledgeable than him. She felt that something she could buy must be because it was valuable. This was Shen Hao's enchanting confidence in Shen Jia.

Shen Jia took out a one-hundred-tael silver note from his purse and gave it to the shopkeeper, and started chatting with him: "Shopkeeper, may I ask you something?" The shopkeeper sold the three potted flowers that were the most troublesome, and he felt so happy. No, "Master, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it."

"How often do those Fan Gang people come? How many people do they usually come? Have you ever heard them say that the people who come with them usually do more business at that port?"

The shopkeeper thought for a long time and said, "There are no rules. Sometimes we see different foreigners arriving in a year or half a year. I heard that it takes at least four or five years for them to come back and forth, but they can make money from just one trip." It’s enough to eat and drink for a lifetime. According to the people selling flowers last time, some of them will go to Fujian, Zhejiang, or Yangcheng..."

Shen Jia cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for informing me! I'm leaving now."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Go slowly and don't send me away!"

The two came out holding three pots of flowers. Shen Zhuoyun and the others also found them. Seeing Shen Jia holding two pots of flowers, they quickly took one pot and hugged it, "Jia'er, what kind of flowers are these?"

Shen Jia smiled mysteriously, "Good stuff."

After getting on the carriage, Shen Jia remembered a question that she had ignored, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly: "Mom, brother, didn't I draw pictures of high-yielding grain crops for you before?"

Gu nodded, "Yes, are these high-yielding grains?"

"No, these are sunflowers, peppers, and tomatoes." Shen Jia pointed to three pots of flowers and introduced.

Shen Hao suppressed a smile and said, "Sister, these plants are somewhat different from what you drew. Brother couldn't see it just now. They really deserve a beating."

Shen An's face was full of innocence, "Sister, these plants are so different from the ones you drew! Can't An'er even see it?"

Shen Yun said seriously with a small face: "They are crooked."

Shen Hao couldn't bear it anymore, "Pfft! Hahaha..."

Mrs. Gu lowered her head and shook her shoulders.

Shen Yun and Shen An looked at each other, as if they had said the wrong thing.

Shen An hugged Shen Jia's left arm and said, "Sister, I'm sorry! An'er didn't say that your paintings don't look like anything else."

Seeing that Shen Jia's face was getting darker and darker, Shen Yun coaxed, "Sister, your painting is already very good. Why can't Yun'er paint such a beautiful painting?"

Shen Hao silently gave a thumbs up to Shen Yun.

Little did they know that Shen Jia's face turned even darker when he heard this.

Although Shen Yun is young, his paintings are vivid and full of aura.

She was born unable to draw, and she couldn't draw well even after studying for a long time. Her master often scolded her for being stupid. After forcing her to learn for three years, she could barely draw acupuncture points, let alone other things. In the end, even the master gave up on letting her learn to draw.

Gu comforted her, "Jia'er, it doesn't matter if you're not good at painting. If you are good at everything, then you are a god and not a mortal. You are a mortal! There are always things that you are not good at. It is normal."

Shen Hao finally laughed enough and coughed lightly, "That's right! You have high martial arts skills, superb medical skills, good calligraphy, and even powerful formations. If you do something powerful again, will you let us live?"

"Humph!" Shen Jia glared at Shen Hao and ignored him.
