Chapter 18 Elf Egg
Pingdie Town is a peaceful and tranquil town without the hustle and bustle of a big city.
It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Luo Mu has to buy everything he needs before six o'clock.
There is no concept of overtime in this town. The shops and stalls are closed on time.
The overall pace of Pingdie Town is slow, and the saying of working at sunrise and resting at sunset is fully implemented.
As a small town, Pingdie Town does not have any large supermarkets, only a farmer's market with a good flow of people.
During the days when Luo Mu lived in the hotel in Pingdie Town, he found out what is in this farmer's market.
In addition to the roadside vendors who set up stalls outside to sell crops grown on their own one acre and three points of land, the inner space is for merchants or individuals who need to purchase things in large quantities.
In short, the interior is a wholesale market, and basically all the items that are in demand can be bought here at wholesale prices.
Walking past the noisy vendors' stalls, Luo Mu did not stop because of their shouting, because he knew that most of these people can be said to be of low quality in the entire farmer's market, and it is common to see ghost scales or inferior goods as good ones.
When Luo Mu first settled in Pingdie Town, he came here to buy apples. Perhaps because he was a stranger, he was unlucky enough to encounter a ghost scale, and the vendor also replaced some of his apples when he was not paying attention. Some of those apples were overripe and even began to rot.
Perhaps it was because he never stayed in one place for too long when traveling. He had never encountered these things in the past year. He always believed that there should be no profiteers in the world of Pokémon. Luo Mu suffered a social beating for the first time in this farmer's market.
There are bad people, and naturally there are good people.
At that time, Luo Mu continued to move forward into the farmer's market with apples. He was reminded by a kind old lady in a store near the vendor's stall, and then he realized that he had been cheated.
Without giving the vendor a chance to get away, Luo Mu immediately caught the vendor and planned to send him to the Pingdie Town Police Station. The administrator of the farmer's market came to smooth things over, but it was useless.
Since then, Luo Mu became famous in one battle, and the profiteers who set up stalls in the farmer's market walked around him.
However, it seems that after a month, these people have forgotten his existence, otherwise they would not try to call him.
Luo Mu ignored them and went straight to the location of the store in his memory.
[Wholesale Seeds]
It is a very clear name, not fancy at all.
The store is not big, about 30 square meters, and most of the positions are filled with different seeds in different categories.
At the door of the store, there is a recliner that looks old, and on it lies a kind old lady with gray hair and good facial features.
The old lady closed her eyes, her chest rose and fell slowly, and she looked like she was in a state of light sleep.
Although in a light sleep state, the old lady's perception of the outside world is very sharp. Before Luo Mu approached, she opened her eyes and looked at the visitor.
Seeing the old lady wake up, Luo Mu smiled and waved slightly, saying hello: "Grandma Juzi, long time no see?"
"This voice, you are..." Juzi slowly took out his reading glasses from his arms and put them on, carefully looking at Luo Mu, his memory slowly emerged, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face, "It's Xiaomu, long time no see, how is your farm going?"
Luo Mu responded: "The area has been planned, and I am planning to come to you to buy some seeds."
"That's good, that's good!" Juzi nodded slightly, as if happy for Luo Mu, and the smile on his face became more intense.
With Luo Mu's help, Ju Zi slowly stood up, then took Luo Mu into the store and asked, "Have you ever thought about what crops to plant? You can tell me so that I can refer to it. I have been selling seeds for so many years, so I still have some experience."
Luo Mu looked around and found that there were quite a few types of seeds. He picked out a few names that he had already thought of in his mind: "Potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, cabbages, cucumbers."
"I want a small bag of these seeds. I plan to try planting them. I will buy them in large quantities after there are no problems."
Ju Zi nodded as he listened. It seems that Luo Mu did a good job. These crops are suitable for planting in this season, and the growth cycle is not too long. As long as they can grow crops of normal quality, they will definitely make money.
After all, Luo Mu has bought such a large piece of wasteland, it is indeed necessary to pilot planting in advance to avoid the probability of losing money.
Ju Zi very accurately picked out the types that Luo Mu needed from the dazzling array of seeds, put them into small bags, sealed them, and also put on labels intimately.
"Potato seeds are 80 per bag, cucumber seeds are 140 per bag. Take a look, is there any problem?" Ju Zi read the price list on the wall one by one.
Luo Mu nodded slightly. This price is even cheaper than the price Peter quoted to him, so there is no problem.
The seeds of these five crops only cost 600 Alliance coins in total, which is a bargain for the cost of building a farm.
Luo Mu paid directly, and then took the bags of seeds from Ju Zi, looking at the seeds with curiosity. He had only seen them when they grew up, but it was the first time he saw seeds.
He looked at the potatoes, cucumbers, and tomatoes one by one until the sixth bag of seeds came out. When he saw the label on it, Luo Mu was suddenly stunned.
Strawberry seeds?
Luo Mu looked at Juzi with a puzzled look and said, "Grandma Juzi, did you give me an extra bag of seeds?"
Juzi saw that Luo Mu had discovered it and smiled and said, "You young people are still sharp-eyed. This bag of strawberry seeds is not worth much money. Just consider it as a small gift from me to celebrate the official operation of your farm."
"How can this be good?"
Luo Mu wanted to return it to Juzi. If he took over this bag of strawberry seeds, Juzi would definitely not make a penny from this order, and might even lose money.
"Just take it." Juzi waved her hand, unwilling to take the seeds handed over by Luo Mu. While being polite, Juzi saw the Pokémon Ball hanging on Luo Mu's waist, and suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up slightly: "Otherwise, how about you do me a favor and exchange it for this bag of strawberry seeds?"
Juzi saw that Luo Mu stopped moving, and immediately walked to a cabinet in the deepest part of the store, took out the key to open the small lock, and carefully took out an oval object from it.
Juzi said, "Old lady, remember that you are a trainer, if you can, can you try to take care of this Pokémon egg?"
As she spoke, the Pokémon egg in Juzi's hand slowly moved from the dark to the lighted place with her footsteps, revealing its true appearance.
It was an unknown Pokémon egg with a red background and gray-black stripes.
At the same time, in the first district of the South, the Lighthouse Research Institute.
Waving goodbye to Dragonite, Papa rushed back home excitedly and saw a dark room and a note on the table, and instantly understood something.
Papa's arms slowly fell down, and the corners of his eyes began to turn red.
After a while, Papa lowered his head and murmured in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Liar."
