Chapter 411 Old Master Yuan Comes to the County Town
Nobody recognizes sunflower seeds. Not only would he have a hard time finding buyers in Jiangyuan County, but he might not be able to find any in the entire Great Su Dynasty.
Shu Yu followed behind him, watching him being kicked out time and time again, his face growing increasingly grim. She finally felt much better.
That's about it. Shu Yu is about to go up and have a chance encounter with him.
At that moment, Old Master Yuan walked straight into a clinic.
Sunflower seeds actually have quite high medicinal value; they can soothe the liver, dispel wind, and clear cold and dampness, so sending them to a medical clinic is a good option.
I just don't know if the owner of the clinic can figure it out.
Shu Yu pursed her lips and then walked straight in.
Old Master Yuan was right by the counter, talking to the shopkeeper.
Shu Yu leaned over to listen for a couple of minutes, then inwardly shook her head. This old man Yuan himself didn't even know what it was, yet he kept talking big, describing sunflower seeds as something out of the ordinary. It would be a miracle if the clinic owner believed him.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Alright, we don't want it. You can take it. I'm busy."
"Shopkeeper, you can trust me, this really is a medicinal herb."
The shopkeeper sneered, "Then tell me, what diseases can these medicinal herbs cure?"
Boss Yuan, "..."
"You dare to recommend this stuff without even knowing what it is? What if a patient gets poisoned after eating it? Where am I supposed to hold you accountable?"
"I……"
The shopkeeper grew impatient. "Get out of here. I have plenty of patients; I don't have time to serve you."
Old Yuan was pushed out again, and Shu Yu came over when he reached the door.
Old Master Yuan was truly furious this time, wishing he could throw the box in his hand away. But in the end, he was still unwilling to give up, and could only sit dejectedly on the steps by the door.
Shu Yu walked over casually, as if kindly reminding him, "Brother, you shouldn't be selling this here. You should take it to a grain shop or the market."
Old Yuan was taken aback, then suddenly looked up, a look of surprise crossing his face, and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
Shu Yu took a step back, keeping her distance from him. "What are you doing? Don't get agitated."
How could Old Master Yuan not be excited? He had been running around all morning, from pawnshops to clinics, he had been to every place he could go, but he didn't know a single one of them.
Having finally found someone who recognized its value, Boss Yuan couldn't wait to speak up, "Brother, I'll sell this to you, do you want it? Just ten taels of silver, how about it?"
Shu Yu scoffed, "Are you kidding me? This is just a flower seed. Don't even mention ten taels, ten coins is a bit too much for such a small packet."
Old Yuan's smile froze. "What did you say? Flower seeds?"
"Yes, you didn't know?" Shu Yu frowned. "You brought it to sell yourself, how come you don't know? Go to the grain shop or the market and ask, see if I'm lying to you."
Old Master Yuan had already asked around, but no one recognized him.
He frowned. "Do you know what this flower looks like?"
Shu Yu said, "It's yellow, like a big washbasin, about twice your height."
Boss Yuan, “…” What the hell? A flower the size of a washbasin? And so tall, it’s unbelievable.
Old Yuan swallowed hard again. "So, are these flowers expensive to sell?"
"Nobody's even planting them, so who's going to buy them?"
Shu Yu said that what she said was all true.
