Chapter 304 What is it?

This time, Su Wenyue bought the spices generously and did not continue to bargain. Instead, he gave him two large bags of sweet potatoes. The shopkeeper was grateful and suddenly had an idea to turn out the seeds. It would take up space anyway. Seeds are useless after a long time. They can't be sold. It's better to give them to Madam Han as a favor. Maybe Madam Han will be his master in the future.

"Seeds from foreign vassal states?" Su Wenyue was somewhat interested when she heard that the shopkeeper of the spice shop gave seeds from foreign vassal states in the Western Regions, but she was not very surprised. After all, she saw that the shopkeeper's shop was not only engaged in the spice business, but also some other items from foreign vassal states. It can also be seen that the shopkeeper is flexible. I didn't expect that there were seeds from foreign vassal states in the Western Regions. Maybe it could give her a surprise.

Seeing Su Wenyue's expectant look, Nanny Li immediately understood her master's intention: "Madam, do you want someone to send the seeds to Madam for her to review?"

Su Wenyue was undeniably surprised when she saw the large bags of seeds in front of her. After all, seeds are small in size, and these large bags are really a lot. The spice shop owner is really generous. She just gave him two more bags of sweet potatoes, and in return, she got so many seeds. It's a good deal no matter how you calculate it.

But Su Wenyue thought about it and understood. It's not easy to have enough food these days. These seeds from foreign vassal states are not recognized by many people. Who knows what they will grow and whether the harvest will be good? Besides, growing vegetables is not as safe as growing food that can fill your stomach. What's more, these seeds are not cheap, so they are piled up. If the shopkeeper's spice shop can't continue to operate next year, these seeds may not be sold. Moreover, the germination rate of seeds will decrease if they are left for a long time. If they are piled up in the warehouse, they will only go bad. It's better to give them away as a favor.

After figuring out all this, Su Wenyue felt that the shopkeeper was a smart man who knew how to use his useless things to gain the most benefits, unlike those petty people who kept the seeds and sold them at a low price to get some money, but they were not very useful.

"Open the bags and let me see." Su Wenyue stared at the bags and said, wanting to know what seeds were in these bags. She was looking forward to it. After all, the seeds that she asked her mother's family to collect were also from foreign vassal states, but they were from a different direction from the Western Regions. The seeds collected from different places were naturally different.

After opening the bags, many of them were packed in small bags, which were placed in different categories. They were very clean and tidy. The scientific names of the seeds were written on them, and there were some vague planting methods. However, this was better than nothing. There was always a reference. If it was handed over to an experienced farmer, he would naturally figure out the planting method.

Su Wenyue didn't want to bother, so she took them one by one and looked at them. The more she looked, the more surprised she was. The owner of the spice shop really gave her a big surprise. Many of these seeds were not available to her. Even though the variety of things in the outer vassal states had increased because of Concubine Li in her previous life, there were still many things she had never seen. These seeds were much more than the variety that her brother from her mother's family had brought back from the outer vassal states. However, there were no sweet potatoes, corn and other things.

Madam Li also curiously followed Su Wenyue to look at them, and her old face was full of questions and curiosity.

"Madam, what is this carrot? I have only heard of white radish and pickled radish, but not carrot. I don't know what the difference is. This thing from the outer vassal state is really strange." Madam Li said with a sigh of relief.

Su Wenyue shook her head. She had never heard of carrots either. She didn't know what this thing was. Did it look like the white radish here? Then she read the instructions written on the bag and roughly understood.

"This carrot is a good thing. Not to mention whether it tastes good or not, the color alone looks festive. It would be nice if the greenhouse on the farm could grow it in advance." Su Wenyue felt that she was becoming more and more vulgar. It was obviously a kind of food, but the first thing she thought of was not to make something delicious, but what kind of benefits she could get from it. However, she was in such a situation now, and there was nothing she could do.

"Madam, look, there are these. Each of these names is quite strange. I have never heard of them before." Li Mama was actually a well-informed person. She had seen some things from foreign vassal states. Now she felt that she was really too arrogant. There are so many strange things in the world. She must never be complacent in the future.

Su Wenyue nodded. She had heard most of them, but it was not easy to show it. Otherwise, how could she explain how she knew them? After all, these were things from foreign vassal states. Even though Li Mama was her confidant, Su Wenyue was still unwilling to show her strangeness.

"The owner of the spice shop really did something that pleased me. There are so many kinds of seeds. It must have been difficult for him to collect them. How could two bags of sweet potatoes offset them? Although these seeds may not sell well here, this cannot deny the value of these seeds." Su Wenyue said and looked at Li Ma.

"Li Ma, please tell the owner of the spice shop what I mean. In addition, take out some food from home and give it to the owner of the spice shop. Let him accept it. This is what he deserves."

"Yes, I will do it right away." Li Ma took the order and felt that her master was kinder. Although sometimes he did some things by himself to save money, he was never stingy when he should be generous and was unwilling to take advantage of others for nothing. Such a character is really precious. They, the servants, are also lucky to follow such a master.

Su Wenyue arranged for Nanny Li to go to the spice shop, and asked someone to go to Zhuangzi to call Xiaoxi back. Now she lives in Fucheng, which is much closer to Zhuangzi, but one is in the city and the other is outside the city. It would be faster to ride a horse. , it will arrive in more than half an hour.

Xiao Xi was also surprised to see so many seeds. Now Su Wenyue has given full power to Xiao Xi in regard to Zhuangzi. Xiao Xi has a greater sense of responsibility. She just thinks that the lady values ​​her so much and leaves such an important matter to her. She No matter what, you have to put on a show, repay the master's trust, and convince those who don't obey the madam's instructions and have objections to the madam's arrangements.

"Madam, where did you get so many seeds? Great! I am worried that there are not many types of seeds. We have built so many greenhouses before, and they cannot all be planted in the same way. It would be too wasteful to leave them empty. The seeds just solve the slave's urgent need, but the slave doesn't seem to recognize these seeds. "Xiao Xi was happy and a little distressed when she got the seeds.

"These are seeds collected from foreign vassals in the Western Region. Of course you don't recognize them, otherwise I wouldn't have called you here."
