Huang's Pawn Shop.
After the quarrel between the couple, Lu Fan also learned about their land rental situation from Huang Bairong.
After exchanging a bag of grain for more than fifty taels of silver.
Lu Fancai said to Huang Bairong, "Boss, I suggest you don't give land to those two bastards out there! After all, people like them have no conscience at all."
Huang Bairong was also a smart man. He certainly understood what Lu Fan meant. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, young noble lady Lu. I will never give them any land from now on."
"Well, that's good."
As he was speaking, Huang Bairong suddenly started coughing violently.
He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed up blood.
"Dad! Dad! Your old illness has come back again. Come on, drink some ginseng soup!"
The round-faced girl next to him saw that her father's mouth was bleeding from eating, so she quickly ran over with a bowl of ginseng soup.
Looking at the ginseng soup, Lu Fan swallowed his saliva.
Wow!
The legendary ginseng!
He had heard from a storyteller before that ginseng was the essence of heaven and earth, and that eating it could not only prolong life but also strengthen the body.
I never thought that Shopkeeper Huang could even afford to eat ginseng!
What a rich man!
"By the way, isn't ginseng also a plant? Since my magic gourd can grow food and weeds, why can't I grow ginseng?"
Thinking of this, Lu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Boss, can I ask if the ginseng you eat is expensive?"
Huang Bairong, who was drinking ginseng soup, was startled when he heard this and said, "Could it be that Brother Lu also wants to eat ginseng?"
Lu Fan quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I can't afford it. I'm just asking."
Huang Bairong chuckled upon hearing this and said, "To be honest, this thing is indeed ridiculously expensive. A piece of aged ginseng costs at least ten taels of silver out there!"
ah?
Ten taels of silver?
Hearing this, Lu Fan was so frightened that he dared not speak.
Huang Bairong continued, "This is just ordinary ginseng. If it's older, it's even more expensive! As far as I know, there was once a hunter who dug up a century-old ginseng in the mountains and exchanged it for a house in the county town."
Hearing this, Lu Fan's mouth suddenly opened wide.
Oh my god.
A century-old ginseng can actually be exchanged for a house in the county town?
If my magic gourd can really grow ginseng, wouldn't I be completely rich?
"Shopkeeper Huang, do you still have this ginseng?" Lu Fan asked cautiously.
"That's all. This is the last one." Huang Bairong said.
"Then...can I ask where I can buy ginseng seeds?" Lu Fan asked again.
Although Huang Bairong didn't understand why Lu Fan asked this, he still replied, "Generally speaking, it can only be bought in century-old pharmacies."
After hearing this, Lu Fan took note of it silently.
He had already decided that he would go to a pharmacy and ask if he could buy the ginseng.
If my magic gourd can really grow ginseng, then I will make a fortune.
After chatting with Huang Bairong for a while, Lu Fan left Huang's Pawnshop.
When he walked out of the pawnshop, Lu Dahai and Wang were nowhere to be seen... Looking at the empty streets, Lu Fan hurried to find a pharmacy.
Half an hour later.
Lu Fan found a pharmacy on the east street of Qingyang Town.
The pharmacy is quite big.
As soon as Lu Fan walked over, he saw a young man grinding medicine by pouring water back into the pot.
"Sir, would you like to buy some medicine?"
When the pharmacy clerk saw Lu Fan walk into the pharmacy, he couldn't help but ask.
Lu Fan nodded silently and walked in cautiously.
"Excuse me, sir, what medicine would you like?" Xiao Dian looked at Lu Fan, who had a reserved face, and continued to ask.
Lu Fan thought for a moment before whispering, "I'd like to ask... do you have any ginseng seeds here?"
"What?"
The pharmacy clerk thought he had misheard.
"Do you have any ginseng seeds here...?"
Lu Fan lowered his head and repeated it again.
"Ginseng seeds?"
The pharmacy clerk heard it clearly this time.
He glanced at Lu Fan with curiosity. When he saw Lu Fan's shabby clothes, he couldn't help but ask, "Young guest, are you sure you want ginseng seeds?"
"Yeah!" Lu Fan replied.
"Oh, we do have ginseng seeds! But sir, do you have money to buy them?" asked the shop assistant of the medicine shop.
Lu Fan asked in a low voice, "How much is a pack?"
"Five taels of silver for a bag!" said the pharmacy clerk.
Hearing the shop assistant say this, Lu Fan's mind raced: Ginseng is expensive, but I didn't expect even ginseng seeds to be so expensive?!
The shop assistant looked at Lu Fan, who was keeping his head down and not saying anything, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Young guest, these days, we can hardly even get enough to eat, what are you buying seeds for..."
"It's useful." Of course Lu Fan wouldn't tell the other party. He reached out and took out a bunch of white silver ingots and placed them on the counter of the pharmacy.
Not more, not less, a total of five taels of silver.
Seeing Lu Fan take out five taels of silver in one go, the clerk in the drug store was completely stunned.
He stared at the five taels of silver on the counter with wide eyes, feeling a little bit unbelievable. In this day and age, there are still people with so much money who buy such impractical things. This idiot must have too much money and has no place to spend it, right?
"I'll give you five taels of silver, and give me the ginseng seeds."
Lu Fan stretched out his hand and said to the shop assistant.
The staff in the drug store were all stunned.
After being stunned for several seconds, he quickly said, "Okay, okay, sir, please wait a moment..."
After saying that, he quickly ran inside to get the ginseng.
After a while, the pharmacy clerk ran out with an antique box.
When I opened the box, I saw that it was indeed filled with seeds. The amount was enough to plant several acres of ginseng.
"Here, sir, take it."
The shop assistant handed the ginseng seeds to Lu Fan with both hands.
After Lu Fan took it, he looked at it carefully. After making sure that it was correct, he quickly put it in his arms and turned away.
"Sir, take care. I'll see you off."
"If you need anything, please come again next time."
The shop assistant watched Lu Fan leave and quickly ran out to see him off while saying.
Lu Fan took the ginseng he bought and quickly put it into his black gourd.
As he walked, he muttered to himself: I hope the magic gourd can really grow ginseng, otherwise, my five taels of silver will be a huge loss!
Five taels of silver is equivalent to ten liters of grain.
The more he thought about it, the more distressed Lu Fan felt.
but.
If I could really grow ginseng, I would become rich.
After buying ginseng, Lu Fan went to the town and bought a lot of daily necessities.
In addition, he also bought ten kilograms of pork from the butcher shop next door.
Pork is a luxury nowadays, and there are not many wealthy families in the town who can afford to eat pork. Seeing that he had earned almost one or two taels of silver in the blink of an eye, Lu Fan secretly cursed himself for being a spendthrift!
but.
He is very rich now, and there is a mountain of food in the magic gourd, so he is not too worried.
"It's time to go home."
After putting everything into the magic gourd, Lu Fan happily prepared to go home.
