After being forced to travel through time by accident, I became famous in the entertainment industry

The boss behind the shop was generous, and the shopkeeper received eight hundred coins a month. But now he heard that the lady in front of him was willing to give him a few more taels of silver in private. If he prepared five fish for them, wouldn't that be enough money for half a year?

The shopkeeper usually counted the beads on the abacus very quickly, which made his brain active. He had already opened his eyes and did not think much about it. He did not even doubt why these two people were so persistent in getting the red carp.

The shopkeeper put the parrot back into the cage and locked it. Instead of hanging the cage back up, he carefully placed it on the table.

He turned back to the counter and flipped open an account book with his fingertips. He turned to an unknown page and looked up at Xu Zhao and the other man and said, "Gentlemen, are you willing to wait five more days?"

Xu Zhao looked at Shen Yu hopefully, and only smiled again when he saw him nod. "Five days is five days. When can we come and pick it up on the fifth day, boss?"

Xu Zhao looked particularly handsome when he smiled again. Even the shopkeeper was stunned. No wonder this young man was willing to spend money on his wife. If he had such a beautiful wife, he would also be willing to do so.

A beautiful smile is priceless.

The shopkeeper thought about the habit of the customer who ordered the red carp. They would buy whatever they could get. The price of live carp was a little higher, but the price of dead carp could be reduced to half.

Now this lady also needs to live, so the price is naturally high. What's more, he can get extra money, so naturally he lets this lady choose first.

"The customer who ordered the red carp will come to pick it up at the end of the 4th hour. The red carp are usually delivered to the store around the end of the 5th hour. Otherwise, Madam, please come to pick it up at the beginning of the 4th hour. There might be more live red carp there."

Xu Zhao looked at Shen Yu inconspicuously.

"In that case, we'll come back when the time comes."

Now that we know the time, we have five days to deploy everything after returning. I am afraid that within half a month, the Mobei Kingdom will surrender completely.

"This red carp will be available soon. If Madam likes any other, please buy them back as well." Shen Yu held up the birdcage. "I think this parrot is really nice. If Madam likes it, why not take it back as well?"

Xu Zhao's heart moved. This parrot was indeed beautiful and taking it home would really help him relieve his boredom.

But she didn't know the price. Would a parrot be very expensive? She looked hesitant.

Shen Yu immediately noticed Xu Zhao's fondness for the parrot and said proudly, "Boss, we want this parrot. We're buying both birds and fish. Could you give us some food?"

It is said that the richer people are, the more stingy they are. The shopkeeper has seen this.

But it was just as he said, they bought a lot, so it was only right to give them some food, and the shopkeeper readily agreed.

Xu Zhao walked around the store and was attracted by a potted plant on the antique display shelf.

"Boss, your potted plants are so unique."

The potted plant in front of me has fresh white flowers with a yellow center and five petals arranged in an orderly manner. The leaves are broad and feathery, with sparse white hairs on both sides.

Xu Zhao thought it looked familiar. It seemed to be potato flowers...

If it really is potato flowers, then what is buried in the soil must be potatoes!

"Madam, you have a good eye. This flower is something we acquired by chance. It is now a favorite potted plant among the scholars and literati in the imperial city of Zhongjin Kingdom."

Xu Zhao: “???”

Is that what she understood?

This potato was cultivated to appreciate the words?

"Is this potted plant just for appreciation?" Xu Zhao asked.

After hearing this, Shen Yu knew that Xu Zhao must have discovered something rare again.

"Of course," the shopkeeper didn't understand why the lady asked this.

"Have you ever tried eating the tubers of this flower?"

You know, potatoes can be used to solve the problem of food and clothing. Now just treating them as ordinary potted plants is a waste of natural resources!

The shopkeeper had never expected that the woman before him actually knew quite a bit, but it was a pity...

"Madam, I'm afraid you don't know. We didn't know about this until one year when there was a famine on the border of Jin State. The victims were so hungry that they dug up this tuber from the ground and ate it. As a result, many people died. This flower may be beautiful, but it's poisonous!"

Xu Zhao's eyes widened when he heard this, and he pretended to be terrified. "It's so scary. Fortunately, the shopkeeper was kind enough to tell us all this."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said it was just a small matter. Since a customer asked, he would naturally answer whatever the customer asked.

"I like this flower too. I wonder how many there are in the store?"

After hearing this, Shen Yu immediately took out his purse and pretended to pay.

The shopkeeper hadn't expected to meet a wealthy man today, and his face was full of smiles. "This is the only pot we have in the shop right now. If you like it, I'll have more delivered in five days."

Xu Zhao really wanted to make the decision on the spot, but she was penniless, so she had to ask her rich boss about this matter.

She turned sideways and grabbed Shen Yu's arm, shaking it coquettishly, "Husband, I like these flowers too. Why don't we buy some to take back?"

Jiaojiao's soft tone, coupled with Xu Zhao's skilled calling of "husband", made Shen Yu feel elated. Without asking for the reason, she immediately made the decision, "Boss, we'll take this basin away first, and come back to get the rest in five days."

As he spoke, Shen Yu took out a tael of silver from his purse. This was the difference he would have to pay back to the teahouse later. He then threw the rest of the purse to the shopkeeper.

The purse drew a graceful arc in the air, and the shopkeeper quickly grabbed it, saying happily, "Alright! Don't worry, sir. I will definitely prepare the best for you two!"

Shen Yu carried the birdcage in one hand and the potted plant in the other as he walked out of the shop.

After walking a little further, a dark shadow appeared from the darkness, came to Shen Yu and took the thing in his hand.

When Xu Zhao saw him, he naturally knew that this was Shen Yu's secret guard. Think about it, as a princess, she would go out without any followers, so she must have someone protecting her secretly.

But I didn’t expect that the secret guards with great martial arts skills would become free labor.

The waiter at the teahouse was very well-behaved. He saw Xu Zhao and Shen Yu returning to the door of the teahouse from a distance. He greeted them with some packed pastries.

"Two guests, your cakes."

Shen Yu took it, said thank you, and gave the last ounce of silver he had to the waiter.

Now he had many questions to ask Xu Zhao, so he didn't say anything to the waiter and returned to the place where the horses were parked with the cakes.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. The second time Xu Zhao got on the horse, he was more experienced and it was easier for him.

"Gee!" Ride out of the city.

After making sure there was no one around, the horse slowed down.

"Zhao Zhao, I was rude in the store just now."

Xu Zhao knew he was talking about the two of them pretending to be a couple, so she didn't care much. "I didn't suffer any loss. I called the prince 'husband' a few times, but it was just a temporary measure. Don't mind it."

Knowing Xu Zhao's temperament, Shen Yu didn't act pretentiously, but instead smelled something else. "Then we'll arrange for someone to come over in five days?"
