She picked up the young prime minister while fleeing famine

Because they bought so many, the shop owner thoughtfully found thick burlap sacks and wrapped each knife with straw to pack them up, so that the blades wouldn't get damaged from bumps and knocks.

From the outside, it was impossible to tell that the inside was full of farm tools. Yao Lizheng only said that they were newly settled after fleeing from disaster, and that these were purchased on behalf of the whole village.

The blacksmith shop owner, seeing their tattered clothes and knowing that the Liancheng family head had recently made several recommendations that had indeed secured many benefits for the refugees, including relief funds for those who came to Li County, actually believed it.

When they went to buy these things, there were two men, one old and one young, while Banxia and Lin Chun waited at the door with the livestock.

The boss was quite happy to help load the goods onto the oxcart, feeling fortunate that they had their own oxcart; otherwise, if he had delivered so many items, he would have had to pay for the delivery.

After a cheerful farewell to the blacksmith, they drove their oxcart to the seed shop, a place that piqued Banxia's interest in buying seeds. She excitedly ran inside.

During her previous shopping spree, Banxia had already spent all her silver notes, and now she still had a small amount of silver left.

Banxia went on a spree at the seed shop, but she chose different seeds than Lian Chengmo and Yao Lizheng.

Both Lian Chengmo and Yao Lizheng chose grain crops. As a local and someone who had previously worked in the area, Lian Chengmo knew exactly what crops were suitable for growing in this climate.

Although Yao Lizheng knew how to farm, he had already experienced the differences between the North and the South on the road, so he listened to the advice very seriously.

Two-thirds of the grain seeds they bought were varieties recommended by Lian Chengmo, and the remaining half were varieties that Yao Lizheng and his group had grown in northern Xinjiang.

Yao Li was thinking that even if they didn't know how to grow rice, they wouldn't end up with nothing to eat.

However, when the two finished buying the seeds they needed, they discovered that Banxia had almost bought up all the seeds in the seed shop.

It wasn't that she bought everything, but rather that she bought a pack of all kinds of seeds, with different prices and seed sizes. Some packs contained hundreds or even thousands of seeds, while others contained only a dozen or twenty.

If it weren't for the fact that the adults who came with her bought a lot of seeds, to be honest, the shop assistant at the seed shop wouldn't have bothered with Banxia at all, considering her to be just fooling around.

Even if you're buying vegetable seeds, you can't just buy a dozen or twenty seeds, right?

Fortunately, there were many varieties of Pinellia ternata, and after all the fuss, they still managed to get a dozen or twenty coins, which is why the shopkeeper patiently packed them up one by one.

After all, ordinary families don't need to spend twenty coins to buy vegetable seeds. They usually buy a few kinds to plant and then save the seeds themselves so they don't have to buy any more.

"Little sister, are you going to plant all these kinds of seeds?" The shop assistant, a boy of about fourteen or fifteen, asked Banxia curiously as he packed the seeds.

When this little girl came to him to pack up seeds, he thought he had misheard. What kind of little girl comes up and asks to pack up all the vegetable seeds in one go?

Who grows so many kinds of vegetables? That would be exhausting!

"Brother, I'm just curious about what all these dishes look like," Banxia said, blinking her eyes and talking nonsense.

"Alright, but let me make this clear: you've already paid for these vegetable seeds, so they can't be returned." The young shopkeeper emphasized this point, seeing the girl's innocent and naive demeanor.

Although the girl's family had already given her permission to buy whatever she wanted, the shopkeeper was still worried that she was just curious and would cry and want to return the goods when she needed money and found she didn't have any.

"Don't worry, little brother, I won't return it. But, are these all the vegetable seeds you have in your shop? Do you have any other seeds?" Banxia asked earnestly and curiously.

She saw mostly grain and vegetable seeds in the seed shop; she didn't see any other seeds.

"There are still some flower seeds in the warehouse, but they are very expensive, and I guess you can't afford them, so you shouldn't ask."

"I heard from the shopkeeper that it was originally a wealthy family in the county who asked him to help them find it, but unfortunately, that family suddenly moved away. These flower seeds are expensive and hard to sell, so they've been gathering dust in the warehouse ever since," the shop assistant said after thinking for a moment.

"Flower seeds? Can I take a look?" Banxia perked up immediately when she heard that they were flower seeds.

"Little sister, I advise you not to even think about it. Those flower seeds are really expensive, and the shopkeeper will definitely not sell them cheaply." The shop assistant shook his head again.

Although those flower seeds were hard to sell, they weren't something a young shop assistant like him could just take away; the young shop assistant didn't want to go through the trouble.

It was at this time that Lian Chengmo and Yao Lizheng finished buying the seeds and returned to Banxia.

The shopkeeper stood beside the two of them, watching with a complicated expression as his young apprentice packed seeds for the girl.

If this family hadn't bought such a large quantity of seeds, he would have suspected they were there to prank him and amuse him.

Twenty coins for vegetable seeds, and he had his servants pack so many portions. Just those oil paper wrappings must have cost some money, you know.

But before the shopkeeper could finish his long-winded explanation, Lian Chengmo, who was standing next to him, coughed lightly and said...

"Please bring those flower seeds to my younger sister so she can see them. If she likes them, I will buy them."

It's rare for a little girl to be curious and interested in something, and Lian Chengmo said that as a "sister-obsessed" person, he has to give his sister what she wants.

"Alright, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper thought for a moment, then took the keys and prepared to go to the storeroom.

They were so fast that Banxia didn't even have time to react.

As soon as the shopkeeper left, she quickly pulled Lian Chengmo aside.

"Lian Chengmo, you don't really want to buy those flower seeds, do you?" Banxia knew that this big shot had a lot of money, and she was afraid that he would take her words seriously.

"Didn't you want those flower seeds?" Lian Chengmo asked, puzzled.

"Oh dear, I just want to buy a little bit, just one or two seeds of one kind will do," Banxia said helplessly.

She admitted that she was interested when she heard about the flower seeds, but she didn't necessarily intend to buy them.

But the big boss has already said what he meant, so she can only pretend she doesn't like it for a while.

Banxia lowered her head, sighing. "The boss is good in every way, but sometimes he's too decisive and doesn't give people a chance to react."

However, Lian Chengmo seemed to have a different thought process than Banxia. He tilted his head slightly and said.

"Banxia, ​​if you buy things like this, the shopkeeper will kick you out."

"Um, well, we've already bought so many seeds, the shopkeeper should be able to make an exception, right?" Banxia paused for a moment, then said awkwardly.

That's why she only considered buying one or two seeds, because the shopkeeper kept emphasizing that the flower seeds were very expensive.

However, she doesn't necessarily have to buy these flower seeds; she can buy them later when she earns more money.

Banxia wants to grow flowers, which would be very useful, but it's still just an idea for now. She's just thinking that since she can't leave the mountain for more than half a year, she might as well buy them now. She can't just grow wildflowers on the mountain to realize her idea, can she?
