Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Naturally Intelligent Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Naturally Intelligent “Miss, are you sure you want it? I’ve heard that this thing is not easy to take care of. If you can’t grow it successfully, don’t blame me for not warning you,” the shopkeeper said, appearing to be an honest man; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such a thing.
“It’s fine. If it doesn’t grow, I’ll just consider myself unlucky. Shopkeeper, just give it to me straight, how much silver will you take to sell it to me?”
Xuexue was set on growing some new varieties to make better money. Otherwise, like those wild boars she had earlier, over eight hundred pounds, and she only sold them for several taels of silver–it made her want to vomit blood just thinking about it.
“This is a new variety; no one has successfully grown it before. Mostly everyone is afraid of wasting money and time. If there’s no yield in the end, wouldn’t it be like drawing water with a bamboo basket–all effort wasted? Therefore, people get impatient when they see no results halfway through and pull out the seedlings. By now, no one dares to buy these things to plant anymore,” the shopkeeper said with a basketful of bitter tears.
“I just love experimenting with new varieties.”
“If you’ve decided you want them, take all for ten Copper Coins,” the shopkeeper said impatiently, waving his hand, the sight of those seeds already giving him a headache, deciding to adopt an out-of-sight, out-of-mind approach.
Upon hearing this, Xuexue quickly pulled ten Copper Coins out from her pouch, placed them on the table, took the small bottle containing watermelon seeds from the shopkeeper’s hand, and left without turning back, as if she feared someone else would snatch it away.
“Wife, wife, wait for me.”
Big Bull hurried after her, a puzzled expression on his face. “Why are you running so fast? I almost couldn’t catch up with you.”
“When you get such a good deal, you naturally have to run fast. Otherwise, if people change their minds, wouldn’t I end up happy for nothing?” Xuexue said prouderly, holding the small bottle in her hand.
Big Bull glanced at the small bottle in her hand, finding nothing special about it, and said curiously, “It’s just plant seeds, common on any street, nothing unusual.”
“What do you know? These are seeds of a new variety, they can make big money.”
“Wife, how do you know so much?”
Upon hearing this, Xuexue felt somewhat guilty; having lived this life and the last, of course she knew a lot. She absolutely couldn’t tell others about her rebirth; otherwise, she’d be treated like a monster, and then, forget revenge, her very life might be in jeopardy. So, she found a random excuse: “I’ve heard a lot from the old folks in the village, and just fiddled with it myself, and understood it. Not so tough!”
“The wife truly is clever by nature,” Big Bull said, thoughtfully looking into Xuexue’s eyes.
“Hmm!” Unable to bear Big Bull staring straight at her, Xuexue turned around and left.
