No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

Neighbors and surrounding shops paid special attention to Ji Qingyue's seed shop, not only because Ji Qingyue was one of the few Hu people who opened a shop in the south of the city, but also because of his unheard-of business methods.

Then, everyone was surprised to find that the seed shop had only been open intermittently for less than half a month, and now two or three days had passed and it had not opened again!

In the past, even if things were bad, the Hu owner would open the shop every other day or half a day, so why is it that now he won't even open the door?!

Could it be that he really couldn't continue and things went wrong?!

Before the rumor could become widespread and spread among the neighbors, the store opened again the next day!

After a noise, Li Sanlang opened the bolt from the inside, and the sunlight outside was shining warmly into the shop!

He and Brother Ji worked hard for two or three days and finally replaced the orchids on the three-dimensional wall with peonies that were about to bloom!

——The flowers bloom and fall for twenty days, and the people in the city are all crazy.

——Only the peony is the true national beauty, and the capital city is moved when it blooms.

Even though Li Sanlang was knowledgeable and should have been immune to what Ji Qingyue took out from the painting, he still widened his eyes and exclaimed in amazement when he saw Ji Qingyue moving the peonies one by one.

I didn’t expect that Brother Ji had planted so many peonies without realizing it.

Ji Qingyue didn't know much about peonies, and it was only thanks to the magical land that he was able to cultivate so many varieties of peonies.

Li Sanlang, a "local" who was deeply influenced by the times, was well aware of the value of peonies. He took the initiative to assume the responsibility of a consultant, selecting precious varieties from the peonies that Ji Qingyue brought out and transplanting them onto the three-dimensional wall.

Looking around, the entire wall is covered with peony buds about to bloom, and a glimpse of their beauty can be seen from the unopened buds.

Crown-shaped Yao Huang, chrysanthemum-shaped Wei Zi, hydrangea-shaped Dou Lu, lotus-shaped Zhao Fen...

The flower beds are filled with the two-colored "Er Qiao" and the pure white "Baixue Tower".

Afterwards, Ji Qingyue turned his attention to the vegetable garden in the backyard, pulled out the eggplants and cabbages used for drainage, and planted pumpkins and watermelons instead.

This time, he wants to start from scratch.

Without the blessing of the magical land, the growth rate of the seeds returned to normal. According to the magical land's function of improving seeds, Ji Qingyue was not worried at all that the seeds would not germinate. Instead, he was very uncomfortable with the normal phenomenon that the seeds did not germinate two or three days after sowing.

He can no longer adapt to this slow growth rate.

Peony flowers have a strong fragrance.

As soon as Li Sanlang opened the door and put up the fence, the fragrance wafted out, attracting countless people to stop outside the store and watch.

"Wow! The orchids on the wall have been replaced with peonies!"

"Look, they are all rare species!"

"I was so narrow-minded. I never thought the shopkeeper had peony seeds!"

Many people came to ask for the price: "Mr. Li, the shopkeeper is here, how much are these peony seeds?"

"Mr. Li, why don't you write a list and hang it on the wall so customers can see what seeds the store has! It saves us from having to figure it out!"

……

Some people were surprised and some were annoyed. A few days ago, the walls were full of cymbidium orchids but no one asked about the price. Today, they changed the shop to peonies. The situation outside the shop changed from being deserted to being crowded with people. Soon after it opened, it attracted countless people to ask questions.

Ji Qingyue heard a noisy sound coming from the shop. The sound was getting louder and louder, and it seemed like a riot was about to break out. Worried that Li Sanlang couldn't handle it alone, he quickly came out of the painting, pretending to have just woken up and walked down from the second floor, signaling everyone to stay calm.

Fortunately, he had found out the price of peonies a long time ago. The common varieties were not expensive, but these cheap varieties were naturally not attractive to some flower lovers.

They don't care about ordinary peonies.

Ji Qingyue discovered that the wealthy people in Chang'an seemed to have a strange habit. They didn't care about affordable prices, but were particularly fond of expensive things. If you sell them what they want at a cheap price, you will often end up parting ways unpleasantly and fail to make a deal!

Therefore, he decisively decided to adapt to local customs. He was not afraid of setting a high price, but he was afraid that customers would think that the low price was not worthy of the precious peonies.

What's more, these peony varieties are rare.

The peony effect far exceeded their imagination, and the statement that people love peonies is no joke.

While the store business was booming, there was another thing that surprised Ji Qingyue, that is, the whole wall of peonies gave people an extraordinary shock, and it was even more amazing after the flowers bloomed.

Although the wall full of peonies can only be admired from a distance and not touched, people still give it high praise. Among the many customers who ask about the price, Ji Qingyue has heard a name more than once: Princess Yong'an.

The Grand Princess is the title given by the emperor to his aunt. The Grand Princess Yong'an is one of the only two Grand Princesses still alive today.

Ji Qingyue and Li Erlang had heard about this Yong'an Grand Princess long ago when they were still in Shandan...

It is said that Princess Yong'an loved peonies so much that she spent huge amounts of money and manpower to build a peony garden, which took more than ten years. During this period, she constantly collected and cultivated various precious peonies and planted the princess's mansion with gorgeous peonies.

The first day of business after planting the peonies ended, and Ji Qingyue sold a lot of peony seeds. After returning home, people spread the news by word of mouth, and the seed shop became famous in the south of the city.

The news that there was a seed shop selling rare peonies in the south city gradually spread to the north of the city.

The next day, shortly after the drum sounded for the opening of the market, Li Sanlang, who had just washed up and was practicing calligraphy in his study, was distracted by the noise downstairs. He put down his pen and went to see what was going on.

He stood at the second-floor window and looked down, and was surprised to find that many people had gathered on the street, and on the streets in the distance, many people were rushing towards the shops.

Compared with yesterday's neighbors, many of these people came from other neighborhoods, driving all kinds of donkey carts and horse carriages. They looked like servants who were gathering information for their masters.

Li Sanlang quietly closed the window and immediately turned around to inform Ji Qingyue, who was lying on the couch in the study, about the situation outside the store.

Now Ji Qingyue can go out for three consecutive days without having to return to the painting every day. Moreover, the entrance has been moved to the top of the mountain. Every time he goes back and forth, he has to go up and down the mountain, which is very inconvenient.

So as long as he could stay outside, he was in no hurry to return to the painting.

The layout of the study was somewhat ordinary. On the empty bookcase were only a few books that Li Sanlang carried with him and some simple ornaments. The desk was covered with calligraphy with wet ink.

Ji Qingyue slept on the couch in the study at night.

The "Picture of Mountains" brought out from the Lu Mansion had its wrinkles ironed out and damage repaired. The thin drawing paper was carefully framed again and hung on the wall of the study on the second floor in its original condition.

After a few years, Ji Qingyue still didn't develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Even when he was woken up, he didn't get up. Instead, he covered his head with the quilt, lay on the couch in a daze, and let the noise downstairs get louder and louder.

In order to redecorate the flower wall, Ji Qingyue was exhausted from carrying the finished peonies up the mountain, so he decisively handed over the job of watching the store to Li Sanlang, plugged his ears with cotton, turned over and went back to sleep.

After the first day of business, Li Sanlang already knew Ji Qingyue's pricing principles. Since there was no problem with the seeds, he just needed to pay for the goods.

Thinking that tomorrow was the day the results would be announced, Li Sanlang suppressed his nervousness and annoyance, took a deep breath, and redirected his energy to deal with today's business.

He walked out of the study, closed the door, and went downstairs briskly.

There were quite a few people who came here to find out the truth of the news for their respective owners, and they were eager to urge the shopkeeper to open the door quickly.

When Li Sanlang opened the door on one side of the shop, revealing the flower wall behind him, all those who were skeptical immediately believed that seeing was believing, and the doubts in their hearts based on hearsay disappeared.

The shop was filled with rare and precious peonies.

The next moment, someone announced the name of the master, and then more people couldn't wait to speak up and agree.

You don’t know until you report it, and you’ll be shocked when you report it.

Among the visitors, there were gardeners who came to buy flowers on the orders of the princes and princesses, and of course the steward and servant of Princess Yong'an, who was crazy about peonies.

Hearing that the prince and princess also wanted to buy flowers, many ordinary families gave up their competition and kindly gave way to the gardeners who had signed up.

These gardeners not only want to buy seeds, they also have their eyes on the peonies planted on the three-dimensional wall.

The peonies on the wall have not officially entered their flowering period yet, but just by looking at the growth of the plants and the appearance of the flower buds, a knowledgeable gardener can tell at a glance that the news is true: the peonies on the wall and on the ground are all rare varieties.

"My apologies, dear customers, but Qinyuanchun only sells seeds, not plants."

Li Sanlang spoke in a resolute tone, and the gardeners all felt regretful. The peonies on the wall were excellent in both size and shape. If they were to buy them back and plant them in the garden, the masters would surely be happy to see them.

A manager thought to himself: the seeds he bought will definitely not bloom in time for this year. After planting them in autumn, he will have to wait until next spring, which will definitely not be in time for this year's peony banquet. It seems that he needs to think of a way to bring the peonies on the wall back.

Although the gardeners were unwilling, they could not force Li Sanlang to sell flowers in public, so they had to follow the rules and buy peony seeds from Li Sanlang, and make plans for the rest after returning to report to their master.

When Ji Qingyue first started growing flowers, he didn't understand the flower shapes, so he had to consciously collect seeds according to color, so now he sells seeds by color.

Green, blue, purple, black, red, white, pink, yellow and complex colors...

That day, they just sold peony seeds and only let one person into the store at a time. Although Li Sanlang was the only one in the store and was responsible for explaining, weighing the goods, collecting money, and keeping accounts, he was still able to handle the work.

It was already afternoon when the last customer left. Li Sanlang closed the shop and the business for the day was over.

Li Sanlang returned to his study to check the accounts and count today's revenue, and was delighted to find the results.

In addition to selling a lot of peony seeds today, we also sold other types of seeds.

Thanks to the fame that the peony brought to the store, many neighbors tentatively asked whether the store had other fruit and vegetable seeds. After receiving a positive answer, they finally bought some to try out despite their doubts.

Ji Qingyue had just gotten out of bed and was washing himself with the clean water in the copper basin, combing his long beard. He was just considering the feasibility of shaving it off when he heard Li Sanlang patting the account book and saying happily, "Brother Ji, today's revenue is the best since we opened the shop! We've earned over a thousand taels of silver!"

Ji Qingyue was also overjoyed after hearing this, thinking to himself that it was a good thing that he had listened to Li Erlang's advice and planted many peonies in advance.

As Li Sanlang put the counted money into a sack, he said, "It's a pity that seeds can't compare to flowers. I heard that the peonies cultivated by Chang'an gardeners can be sold for dozens of taels of silver at the lowest, and even hundreds or even thousands of gold!"

Although he had long known that people in Chang'an were obsessed with peonies, he, an ordinary person from the far northwest, could not imagine that someone would spend hundreds of thousands of gold on a peony.

There was a crackling sound of metal colliding in the study. Ji Qingyue finished combing his annoying beard and ran over excitedly. He looked at a small sack of silver weighing a hundred pounds and marveled at it.

It’s so easy to make money from people in Chang’an.

"Brother Ji, compared to seeds, many people prefer to buy grown peonies. After being rejected today, they went back to report to their superiors and may come back in a few days."

Ji Qingyue put the small sack into the painting, turned around, thought for a moment, and replied, "Then let them come. It's not that the peonies on the wall can't be sold, but the transplanting process is too troublesome. They have to be left as a sign to attract customers. They absolutely can't be sold now..."

He has cultivated a large flower field at the foot of the mountain. If he can bring the flowers up the mountain, why not?

Despite the construction of mountain stairs and the use of goats to carry loads, transporting the overly large peonies up the mountain is still too difficult and the process is fraught with danger.

Although the current situation is not satisfactory, Ji Qingyue is not pessimistic. Not being able to transport the peony plants out is not entirely a bad thing.

Things are rare.

"Today, Grand Princess Yong'an sent a steward from the palace to buy flowers. The steward mentioned the flower banquet several times, and it seems that she intends to invite you and me to participate."

Speaking of the flower banquet, Ji Qingyue nodded with satisfaction. Things developed just as Erlang had expected. Princess Yong'an really couldn't resist the temptation of peonies.

The Princess Yong'an was the youngest daughter of Emperor Hui and the emperor's aunt. She held a noble status and was respected by everyone.

"Brother Ji, you seem to be doing this on purpose. Why? Could it be second brother's idea?" Li Sanlang had been concentrating on the imperial examination before, and he didn't know what his second brother and Brother Ji had discussed specifically when they left Shandan.

Ji Qingyue nodded: "Your second brother and I are not doubting this person, but there are still some things that need to be understood and confirmed through this person."

Li Sanlang nodded and kept this in mind.

He knew that his two brothers were looking for the identity of the woman living in the salty lake. Now that Second Brother Li was serving in the barracks, he could get information that was different from what was circulating in the streets and official circles. If he became an official in the future, he could compare the information with that of his second brother and restore the whole thing from different angles.

Being an official...

I wonder if he will be able to get what he wants when the results are announced tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the crucial moment to reveal the answer, success or failure depends on it.

Li Sanlang sighed unconsciously. Seeing that he was worried about tomorrow again, Ji Qingyue stepped forward and patted his shoulder. "We made money today. Let's go to Huaiyuanfang to try some Western cuisine."

Last time, Ji Qingyue hid in Huaiyuanfang and waited for the opportunity. He ate a lot of delicious food while strolling around. Today, he has the reason and time to revisit the old place and eat all the delicious food!
