The boss walked into the warehouse at the back and came out after a while carrying a cloth bag. "Sir, do you know this?"

Zheng Sisi opened the bag and looked at it. Wow, there were potatoes inside, but they were very small, not as big as her own space. Maybe they were not well stored in the warehouse, and they had already sprouted a little.

Zheng Sisi said in amazement: "I know. I saw it in a travelogue. It says it's potatoes. The yield is very high. It can be used as a staple food or as a vegetable. Do you still have it here?"

The boss shook his head: "No more."

Zheng Sisi asked: "Where did you bring this back from? Can I buy it there?"

"It seems that it can't be used anymore. This is what my boss did last year when he was inspecting the shop outside. He met a foreign merchant's ship in the south. Someone took this thing to the shore to exchange for supplies. My boss bought it back out of curiosity. But no one knew about this thing, and no one knew how to grow it, so they put it in the warehouse." The boss explained.

Zheng Sisi asked again: "Do you have any seeds here that you don't recognize?"

"I still have some seeds in my warehouse that were not sold last year. They were all brought back by the boss. We don't recognize them. Go and have a look yourself." The boss took Zheng Sisi to the warehouse behind the shop and pointed to the innermost row of shelves. "Look for them in that corner yourself."

"Okay, thank you boss!"

Zheng Sisi squatted down and saw more than a dozen bags of different sizes, all covered with a layer of dust. The boss also said that they were not sold out last year, and no one would buy them later.

Zheng Sisi rummaged through the bags and opened them one by one. Apart from some eggplant seeds and broad bean seeds, she couldn't recognize the others.

But Zheng Sisi planned to buy them all and plant them all when she had a place to do so. She didn't recognize the seeds, but would identify the plants and fruits later. It would also serve as a cover for herself to get seeds from the space in the future.

Zheng Sisi put all the bags together and asked, "Boss, how much are all these seeds?"

The boss was very surprised and said, "Sir, no one wants the seeds here. Are you sure you want to buy them all?"

Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "Yes, I want them all."

"What if we can't grow anything and lose all our money?" the boss asked worriedly.

"Boss, don't worry. If I don't have a harvest after buying the seeds, I won't bother you again, because I bought them myself. Can you help me calculate the price?" Zheng Sisi said.

The boss counted the bags with his hands, and then said, "When our boss bought the lumps of earth in that big bag, he spent three taels of silver. The other seeds are from the year before last. They were not sold last year, and we don't know if they can be used this year. How about this, you give three taels of silver, and the rest will be given to you as a gift."

Zheng Sisi was stunned. Three taels of silver, the rest were all given away. The boss probably didn't know the value of this. He might regret it later! But it was all a bargain for her. She really wanted to cover her mouth and laugh.

Zheng Sisi said readily, "Okay, thank you, boss. If you have any rare seeds in your store in the future, please keep them for me and I will come back later."

Zheng Sisi took out a silver note of 100 taels from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the boss, saying embarrassedly, "I don't have any change with me. I'll trouble you to make up for it."

The boss didn't mind, took the banknote, went to the counter, opened the drawer and started searching. He found Zheng Sisi a banknote of fifty taels, three banknotes of ten taels, and seventeen taels of change.

Zheng Sisi was very satisfied as it saved her the trouble of changing coins.

Looking at the big bag on the ground, which weighed at least 30 kilograms, the boss asked, "Sir, can you take it? Where do you live? Otherwise, I can arrange for someone to deliver it to you."
