Chapter 925 Discovering Potatoes
One day is limited, but it is still plenty of time to stroll around the city.
Shao Yunduan accompanied Qiao Xuan to visit the local vegetable market, flower and bird market, dry goods market, etc. Qiao Xuan also accompanied him to visit the bookstore.
At noon, the master and his servants had lunch in a restaurant. The roast chicken and a kind of fish whose name was unknown were particularly delicious.
There were also several kinds of glutinous rice or flour glutinous rice cakes that were not seen in the provincial capital. Qiao Xuan bought a lot and brought them back to let Lixia and others share them with everyone to taste.
The only thing that made Qiao Xuan feel regretful was that there was nothing new in the vegetable market and flower and bird market here, and there was no way to expand the variety of small vegetable gardens and orchards for the time being.
But Qiao Xuan is still full of confidence, and she is sure that there will be gains along the way.
Sure enough, during the rest of the trip, she got several kinds of vegetable and fruit tree seedlings.
There are different varieties of peppers, beans, loofahs, green vegetables, etc. There are also different varieties of peaches, grapes, persimmons, roses, etc.
It was not difficult to find these things, but how to get them back to the space and store them without telling Shao Yunduan made her rack her brains and work hard.
That day, we stayed overnight in a small town only two days away from Zhengzhou.
Because there was no suitable place to stay for a long distance ahead, we did not go any further even though it was still a little early when we arrived at the town that day.
There happened to be two merchants who said they had two boxes of rare goods from overseas, and they were selling them here at a reasonable price. Don't miss it if you pass by, because if you miss this opportunity, you will never see it again.
It attracted a lot of people to gather and watch.
Qiao Xuan originally thought they were scammers, but a member of the caravan enthusiastically told them that the two merchants must have obtained the two boxes of rare goods from shady channels, which is why they were selling them in a place where many caravans passed by but inconspicuous.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Most of the things there are really good, and the prices are really affordable, so they might as well take a look, and if they like something, they can buy it.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were curious after hearing this, so they went forward to see what was going on.
The two boxes contained a wide variety of goods, including various jewelry with tiny gemstones, Western fans, beads, knives, incense, perfume, wood carvings, tea, Western towels, beautiful conch shells, etc.
It is really cheap, and many people are squatting on the ground to look through and choose, and bargain.
Qiao Xuan found it interesting, but still didn't buy it.
Then, when one of the businessmen took out a roll wrapped in yellow paper from his pocket and started to eat it, Qiao Xuan stared at him intently and could not move away.
Because she saw it clearly, the wrap was filled with meat and vegetables, and even shredded potatoes!
She searched for potatoes and sweet potatoes for a long time, and Le Zhengxiao asked someone to inquire in the south, but there was no news.
This kind of thing can't be rushed, and Qiao Xuan is not in a hurry either.
But I never expected that it could be obtained so effortlessly.
Seeing that there were many customers gathered here to pick out goods, it would take some time to finish. Qiao Xuan didn't want to wait any longer, so she whispered a few words to Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan asked the businessman with a smile, "What's in the burrito?" It looked delicious.
When the man heard Shao Yunduan's question, he felt proud and ate even more happily. He said with a smile, "You have a really good eye, you saw it all! This is taro from the West, it also grows in the ground, it's delicious!"
