Chapter 16 Episode 2



Mrs. Yang was a little unsteady when she heard this. After a moment of hesitation, she said to Xiao Guo, "Then we will meet at the market entrance. You must keep an eye on your wallet. Don't walk too far and be careful of the time."

Xiaoguo agreed to all of their requests, and only then did Mrs. Yang leave with peace of mind.

Xiaoguo strolled leisurely and followed the main group to the scattered stalls. The first one they entered was a shop, which also sold seeds, but Xiaoguo thought it must be expensive, so he followed them inside and found a small stall.

Xiaoguo walked around slowly. He did not just randomly pick a stall to buy from. Instead, he looked around at each stall in turn, visited each one, looked at the condition of the seeds, and listened carefully to the conversations between the owners and the customers. Finally, Xiaoguo squatted in front of an old lady's stall.

Xiaoguo pointed at the bag of seeds in front of him and asked, "Auntie, how do you buy these eggplant seeds?"

"Little girl, you really know what's going on. My seeds are of high quality, different from other people's ordinary seeds. Look, these eggplant seeds are full and round..."

While listening, Xiaoguo looked for the seeds he wanted and finally bought six bags of seeds. They were all priced at one cent for fifty seeds. He ordered leeks, eggplants, potatoes, cabbages, beans, and loofahs.

After giving the money, Xiaoguo was not in a hurry to leave. He seemed to accidentally see an unopened bag in the corner and asked curiously, "Auntie, what's in your bag?"

The lady selling seeds looked in the direction Xiaoguo pointed, and then sighed heavily, "Hey, this is a new variety of corn that I just got from a foreigner. I bought some because they were fresh, but, hey, I guess I lost money."

Xiao Guo pretended to be interested, "Then how can we lose money?"

"Isn't it? I sold it before, but when people went home to plant it, the ones that came out were too small. They were supposed to cook it, but when they opened the pot, they were gone. They were all just dregs." He sighed, "People said it was useless to plant it because it was not edible."

After saying that, the old lady turned her eyes and looked at Xiao Guo, "How about this, girl, I'll give it to you at a low price, you just need to give me the capital."

Xiaoguo looked embarrassed but was actually very happy in her heart. She came here for the bag of seeds. Just when she was walking around, she saw the lady selling this bag of seeds to someone. The seeds in the bag were popcorn seeds, which are special corn for making popcorn.

Seeing that Xiaoguo didn't say anything, the lady selling the seeds hardened her heart, slapped her thigh with a look of reluctance, and said, "That's it, you give me one penny and I'll give you all." Even one penny is better than letting the seeds rot in your hands.

Xiaoguo suppressed his excitement and hesitated for a long time before finally handing over a penny. The lady selling the seeds then felt relieved and happily took the money. She readily handed the seeds to Xiaoguo, who took the seeds and left.

After carefully collecting the seeds, Xiaoguo continued her stroll at a leisurely pace. When the corn was grown, she would prepare to make popcorn of various flavors to sell.

Xiaoguo no longer wanted to buy anything, but since it was still early and there was nowhere else to go, she continued to walk around from the market entrance again.

Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the market, Xiao Guo heard Chinese with an American accent. Xiao Guo looked in the direction of the voice and saw a foreign man in tattered clothes being kicked out of a store. He was yelling, "Go away, who wants your calf? It's so fancy, what's the point of keeping it if it can't be used to plow the land?"

The foreigner held the calf in his arms and said to the buyer, "Trust me, they can produce milk, and you can drink its milk."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him burst into laughter.
