Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

So in order to earn more money, you have to endure the hardship on the road.

I also found a seed nursery and bought some rare watermelon and melon seeds.

The price is one tael of silver per tael. The shopkeeper said that there is no guarantee that the seeds can be grown, and that they are expensive simply because they are seeds from far away.

There are also seedlings of peach trees, apricot trees, pear trees, jujube trees, walnut trees, and grape trees.

Leng Ruoxue also bought two plants.

Almost no ordinary people grow these fruit trees. When they can’t fill their stomachs, food still comes first.

They are all planted by wealthy families on their farms or used as decorations in their homes.

It’s not cheap either, one tael of silver per plant.

If Leng Ruoxue didn't have the space, she could only go to the mountains to look for it, and it's hard to say what the taste would be.

The potato, sweet potato, and corn seeds she was expecting were not found.

Bought 10 more chicks.

They cost three cents each and were placed in the space for Leng Yi and his sister to raise.

Ruoyi's health has improved a lot and he is doing what he can.

It’s just that it’s hard to grasp the time in space, so I just estimate it.

Many times, when Leng Ruoxue went in, the brother and sister were sleeping.

Leng Ruoxue did not leave all the work in the space to the brother and sister. She would go in and help out when she had time.

It seems that she knows a lot of things, but in fact, she is not good at any of them.

The details still need to be explored. After experiments in space, they need to be tested in the fields.

The fruit seedlings are too expensive to buy and the harvest time is too long. People with empty stomachs cannot wait that long, but Leng Ruoxue has to make preparations in advance.

It was already late at night when she finished planting the saplings. Leng Ruoxue boiled some water in her space and took a bath.

The strawberry soap is now usable and I finally feel like I am clean.

I picked out the soaps that were in good condition, put them into a bamboo soap box, wrapped them up, and put them away before I could sleep peacefully.

When he got up in the morning, Liu Datong had already fed the horses.

"Uncle Liu, I may be back late today. You can go out for a walk or rest in the inn. I will be back in about two or three hours."

"Okay, sir."

For safety and convenience on the road, Leng Ruoxue wore men's clothes.

Liu Datong has always called Leng Ruoxue "Young Master".

Leng Ruoxue didn't try to correct him, she just thought of Liu Datong as Uncle Liu.

Leng Ruoxue drove the carriage herself and found Yipinju.

The shopkeeper of Yipinju did not look at Leng Ruoxue differently because she was a delivery guy. "Sorry, I was a bit busy this morning and I am free now."

The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his face.

"Is it convenient to inspect the goods now?"

"convenient"

"How many pounds can you give us this time?"

"There are still Pingyuan County and Qingyuan County that have not been delivered. If the two counties keep 100 kilograms each, there will be about 500 kilograms left."

"Then let's go for 500 jins."

"It's so hot today, it's hard to preserve strawberries."

While chatting with Leng Ruoxue, the shopkeeper randomly checked two boxes, one by one.

“Not bad, fresh enough, no bad fruit”

I couldn't believe it, so I opened another box and still found no rotten fruit.

"Okay, let's weigh it. This box is well designed, so the fruit won't be crushed."

"This is the second-rate fruit I picked out. Please have a taste, boss."

Leng Ruoxue took out two baskets of inferior fruits.

"Wash and bring up a plate."

The shopkeeper said something to a waiter next to him.

"Wash the small red fruits you picked today and bring them up."

"Brother Leng, you are in for a treat today. A lot of the Duofu fruit that was just delivered to us went bad on the way. What a pity! I wonder if Brother Leng has any special way to preserve it? I saw that you didn't use ice on the fruit at home. How can you keep it so fresh?"

"There is no special method, but the journey is not far. The fruits cannot be bumped or wet when picked from the ground. When transporting, there must be ice on all sides, but it cannot be too cold to damage the fruits. The fruits cannot be pressed during transportation. It is best to use straw or soft things to pad each layer of fruit. There cannot be too much gap. Select carefully before delivery."

Leng Ruoxue told the shopkeeper everything she knew.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, we will try it next time to see if we can reduce the loss of fruit."

When Leng Ruoxue saw the fruit called Duofu, her eyes lit up.

"Brother, you haven't seen this, right? This is shipped from Jinzhou City. Our store can only get about 10 kilograms every year, and the stores below don't get any. Of the 10 kilograms that were delivered, only kilograms were picked out intact."

The shopkeeper felt very distressed.

“I can’t throw away the dented ones, but I can’t give them to customers either. I can’t bear to throw them away, so I just eat them myself.”

The shopkeeper ate one with a distressed look on his face.

"I wonder how much is a plate of this Duofu fruit?"

"Things are expensive in the city. This plate costs 10 taels of silver."

There are about 20 pills in a plate, and each pill costs half a tael of silver.

“I want to try this rare fruit too.”

Leng Ruoxue handed the shopkeeper a ten-liang silver note.

"It's not that we don't sell them, but there is a fixed amount of fruit each year. People from all over the country come to our Yipinju to taste the fresh fruits. We really can't take out a plate for you, brother. Eat this, brother. Although this one doesn't look that good and is a bit bruised, it still tastes good."

"Then I wonder how long it will take for the shopkeeper to serve all the fruit to the customers?"

Leng Ruoxue also took one. It tasted sour and sweet and was rich in vitamins.

"It doesn't take a few days. It can be arranged today. All the young ladies and gentlemen will invite their friends to taste this fresh fruit feast."

Leng Ruoxue spat out the cherry pit and said, "This fruit looks very similar to the cherry I saw in a book. I wonder if it is a cherry. If it is convenient for the shopkeeper, how about this ten taels of silver instead of the fruit, just the pit?"

"Brother, are you thinking about this?"

The shopkeeper looked at Leng Ruoxue with a smile.

"Well, the shopkeeper knows that my family has experience with fruits, and we also want to research fresh fruits. If we can research it, maybe my family can supply Yipinju's Duofu fruit in the future."

"It's not the Duofu fruit, it's the cherry fruit. This Duofu fruit comes from the noble man's farm. Every year the best fruit is sent to the capital."

The shopkeeper laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared and he pushed the banknote back.

"You don't need to pay for the fruit core separately. If you grow it, please give it to our Yipinju family."

"Of course, I will need more care from Yipinju in the future."

"We will eat this plate of fruit. The cores are for you. You can come back to get the remaining cores in the evening."

The two of them finished eating in no time, and Leng Ruoxue carefully wrapped the fruit core with a handkerchief.

"Shopkeeper, wait a minute. I have something I want you to take a look at."

"You go, I'll have some strawberries"

Although strawberries were not as expensive as duofu fruits, the shopkeeper had only tasted bad ones. This was the first time he had eaten fresh fruit that looked ugly like this.

Ever since Leng Ruoxue gave me the recipe for strawberry jam and strawberry half-fruit dessert, I probably won’t be able to eat the fruits I picked out anymore.

No, there is nothing to pick out now, all the ones delivered are in good condition.
