Portable Space: The Peasant Princess - Chapter 1287 Buying Lotus Seeds

After the group of people left, Xue Yun took Mr. Xue and frowned: “Dad, are you just going to let me go with them?”

Although there were several adults he admired there, they were still strangers, weren’t they?

People’s hearts are unpredictable. Why did his father let his eldest brother, who had no spiritual power, go with someone else?

The more Xue Yun thought about it, the more depressed he became.

“After all these years, you can see that your brother took the initiative to go with whom and where?”

Mr. Xue looked at the carriage going away and sighed: “Hey! Since he proposed it himself, just let him go.”

Xue Yun pursed his lips and said, “Whether you follow them or not, Lord Jiyue may really be able to cure my elder brother’s stubborn illness!”

“What? Lord Jiyue also has medical skills?”

Mr. Xue was a little surprised.

“I heard that Mr. Mu Qing and Mr. Zhao Bin both called him Jiyue Miracle Doctor. Moreover, he showed it to my elder brother and said it could be cured. He also prescribed medicine.”

Master Xue frowned and said, “Why didn’t this guy mention it to me?”

Xue Yun spread his hands, “How do I know?”

“Hey! Go back!”

Master Xue sighed and shook his head, pulling Xue Yun back to the yard.

One month later, Dongcheng.

“Madam, do you want to buy lotus seeds? Buy them back and make soup for the children.”

Gu Panxia looked at the plump, milky white lotus seeds with their skins removed. She squatted down and asked, “How do you sell this?”

Among the four cities, Dongcheng and Nancheng have the most lotus seeds.

“Five cents a tael.”

The lotus seed seller was an old woman with a smile on her face covered with age spots.

Five cents per tael, that is to say fifty cents per catty. The lotus seeds are of good quality, so the price is not bad.

The old woman didn’t sell much, just half a cloth bag. I estimate it weighed about a hundred kilograms.

“I want all of these. Can you tell me how much they cost?”

“All, all?”

The old woman was startled, “Girl, are you sure you’re not joking?”

There are so many lotus seeds here that I usually sell a dozen taels a day, which makes me laugh.

Everyone was reluctant to sell it at a lower price. After all, after working hard for more than half a year, it was only at this time that they could make a little profit.

However, it was sold at a higher price and no one wanted it, so today when she heard that someone bought it all at once, the old woman was surprised and happy.

Gu Panxia nodded, “Yes, I want them all. How much do you think is appropriate?”

“Girl, there are five hundred taels here. Are you sure you want them all?”

Normally, when those wealthy families came over, they would only buy two or three hundred taels at most, but this time it cost one thousand taels. This was the first time she encountered one.

“Auntie, don’t be surprised. We have a lot of people in our family. I thought your lotus seeds were of good quality, so I wanted to buy them all.”

The old woman nodded hurriedly and said: “Yes, yes, there are a thousand taels in total here.”

“One thousand taels, right?” Gu Panxia took off her purse, took out an ingot of five taels of silver and handed it to the old woman.

She smiled and asked, “Is that the number?”

“Ah! Yes, yes!”

The old woman took the silver and smiled so hard that she couldn’t even see her eyes.

Mu Qing grabbed the cloth bag and put it on her shoulder, and asked curiously: “Girl, why did you buy so many lotus seeds?”

Gu Panxia raised her eyebrows and said, “Of course it’s for eating. Could it be that it’s for display?”

There was a pond of lotus in her space, but what was depressing was that the lotus only bloomed but did not bear lotus seeds, so she was unable to eat the fresh lotus seeds even if she wanted to.

Mu Qing frowned, “I can’t eat so much at once!”

Ji Yue reminded: “Lotus seeds are slightly cool in nature, so women should not eat too much.”
