185 Giving Flowers
Old man Wang drove the donkey cart over. “Brother, where did you come from? Where did you get these flowers?”
The burly man only said, “It’s from somewhere far!”
He slapped the cart again. “Do you want to buy some? It’s very cheap! Two carts, one tael of silver!”
One tael of silver for two carts of flowers. In the past, Old man Wang would definitely not agree.
The new donkey cart bought by Old man Wang’s family had a carriage, and Little Ah Yu and Liu Shi were sitting inside.
Liu Shi pulled open the curtain and mustered her courage to say, “Your flowers were transported all the way here, but they’re not that fresh. They only look like wildflowers. We have a lot of wildflowers here too. How can we buy so many?”
Actually, Liu Shi was right. The wildflowers sold in town only cost two copper coins for a large bunch. Even if the stores worked hard for most of the day, they could not sell the flowers for much.
If one bought one tael of silver worth of wildflowers, it would even be enough to cover the entire courtyard.
The man was a little unhappy. “How much do you want to pay?”
“50 silver coins. Forget it if it’s more.”
Hearing this, before the man could react, Old man Wang hissed.
This price slash was too powerful. How could the other party agree?
The burly man: “Fine! 50 it is!”
Old man Wang: ???
Wasn’t the difference between 50 silver coins and one tael of silver too great?!
After the man received the 50 silver coins, he unloaded the flowers in his cart and dumped them roughly on the ground.
Another man appeared out of nowhere. The two of them distributed the 50 silver coins in front of them and quickly climbed up the hill at the side, pulling up wildflowers crazily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe corners of Old man Wang’s eyes twitched.
What are they doing?
The man grinned. “These flowers are so beautiful! We’ll pick them to sell elsewhere. It’s not a loss!”
Old man Wang: “...” He was really dumbfounded.
Although the man’s accent was extremely strong, strangely, he could understand what the man was saying.
He thought to himself that these two men were probably going around pulling wildflowers and selling them in the next location.
Moreover, from the accent, they were definitely not locals. Presumably, they would be leaving soon, and it was unknown where they would go in the future.
In that case, wouldn’t this matter be perfect in helping them cover up the secret of Ah Yu’s source of flowers?
In the future, if anyone asked how the flowers in their courtyard came about, they could say that they had met two foreign men on the road and casually bought them.
The two men quickly filled their two carts with flowers and rushed away.
After they left, Liu Shi looked at the flowers on the ground. “Father, what should we do with these?”
Old man Wang called Little Ah Yu out and pointed at the flowers. “Can you take these flowers away?”
If they left it at the same spot, it would be very suspicious and could lead back to them in the future.
However, their carts did not have enough space to carry all the flowers. If others saw them, it would be difficult to explain in the future.
Little Ah Yu nodded. “Sure!”
She walked in front of the flowers and plants and reached out to touch them gently and the wild flowers disappeared in front of them.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Old man Wang could not help but take a step back.
After looking at it a few more times, he was still frightened.
Shouldn’t the ability to vanish things belong to deities and immortals?
Old man Wang silently patted his chest and mentally prepared himself. “Don’t panic. Just treat Ah Yu as an immortal who has come to experience the tribulation of life.”
Liu Shi was actually a little flustered, but she quickly calmed down.
Because of Little Ah Yu, the unique flowers in the spatial pocket were successfully brought out.
These flowers had indeed exceeded their expectations. The flowers were tall and straight, and the leaves were crystal clear. Just looking at them made one happy.
There was no need to mention the flowers. The local wildflowers were upgraded crazily and had become even more beautiful. The fragrance was also refreshing.
After smelling it for a long time, they felt refreshed.
This time, Old man Wang and Liu Shi could not be bothered to be surprised. They hurriedly got busy and carefully loaded the flowers into the donkey cart.
While they were busy loading the flowers, the two men who had run far away on the sugarcane cart also wiped the sweat off their faces.
“Aiya, fortunately, I traveled extensively when I was young and even learned some local languages. Otherwise, I might not have been able to hide it from them.”
Another man said, “What about our flowers? Are we really going to sell them in a foreign place?”
The man said, “Of course. Leader Chi said that we have to put on a full show and not disappear directly. We have to go to at least four to five cities to complete the mission.”
“But what’s the point? Who will buy these lousy flowers?”
“Don’t worry about whether we can sell it or not. In any case, it’s Young Master’s instructions. We’ll just do as he says.”
Hence, the two men picked the local flowers to sell them elsewhere. They would then casually set their prices. Sometimes, a large cart would be sold for ten copper coins, and sometimes, a small handful would cost a tael of silver.
When they were selling flowers, they also bragged about everything. Gradually, they even developed the ability to make things up.
If they were lucky, they could really sell the flowers for a bit of profit.
There was even once when they picked and mistook a rare herb in the wilderness as a beautiful flower. When they arrived at the city, it was directly bought by a medicinal shop at a high price.
...
The two men were dumbfounded. “Could it be that the Young Master really has the foresight to know such a path to prosperity?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTherefore, the two men began to enjoy the mission. They even learned some knowledge about medicinal herbs and used their superb martial arts to specially go to those difficult places to pick herbs. After a few months, they earned a lot.
Of course, this was a story for another time.
On the other hand, Old man Wang and the others had brought Little Ah Yu’s flowers back to town. Because Little Ah Yu had brought out a lot of flowers, it was enough for them to plant two large courtyards at once.
These wild flowers only took two days to grow in the spatial pocket. Meatball had not only helped to grow them, but the quality was already very good. It had even saved up many flower seeds.
When they drove the flower cart back to Old man Wang’s house, the entire donkey cart was filled with flowers. Old man Wang and Liu Shi had already alighted and were walking.
Little Ah Yu sat on the lamb’s back.
“Yo, Grandpa Wang, where did you get so many flowers?” A familiar neighbor hurriedly asked.
Old man Wang chuckled and said, “I was lucky. On the way back, I met two flower sellers. They looked good and coincidentally, there weren’t many plants in our courtyard, so I bought them all.”
Another person peered over with eyes filled with envy. “I have to say, the quality of your flowers is not bad. I wonder where they came from. I’m afraid they’re very expensive, right?”
Of course, there were also people who said sarcastically, “Come on, take a closer look. Aren’t these wildflowers everywhere on the mountain? Speaking of which, the Wang Family likes to forage for these wild things. Aren’t their candied hawthorns also made with wild fruits? Perhaps they were all picked from the mountains. There’s almost no cost.”
...
Old man Wang pretended not to hear such words.
“Grandpa Wang, my granddaughter likes flowers too. Can you share one with us? We’ll buy it at the same price.”
Old man Wang looked at Little Ah Yu.
Little Ah Yu jumped off the sheep’s back and took out a red flower. “Grandma Wen, give this flower to Sister Wenwen!”
“Aiyo, how can I do that? Come, Ah Yu. We just made brown sugar cakes at home. Take some back to eat.”
“Ai!”
When the others saw this, they shook their heads.
It’s just a stalk of flower. What was there to be so happy about?
There were so many flowers all over the mountain. Wouldn’t they be able to pick as many as they wanted?
They even used brown sugar cakes to exchange for it. Wasn’t that pure waste of food?
As expected of a woman. She was ignorant. In their opinion, she would regret it sooner or later.
