Chapter 136 A Jar of Seeds
Chapter 136 A jar of seeds
"Really?" Kuang Bao couldn't believe it, but he still turned around and came to Lin Shuran, "Then how much silver can you give? If you want it, I still have it at home. As long as you are willing to give me fifty taels of silver, all these will be
Here, I won’t lie to you, these are precious seeds that my father found from the sea, you can’t find them anywhere else.”
As Kuang Bao spoke, he opened the black cloth bag and let Lin Shuran take a closer look. He was afraid that Lin Shuran would find it too expensive, so he immediately changed his mind and said, "Otherwise, thirty taels will do, but I don't know these seeds, and I don't know how to plant them. If you plant something,
You killed someone, but it has nothing to do with me."
When he said this, Kuang Bao felt a little guilty. His father was a treasure hunter who went to sea under Mr. Pei, the head of the No. 1 market. He usually went to sea to find some rare wild animals. Sometimes he did not return home for several years, but his father still liked
Every time I went to a place, I collected some seeds I had never seen before. When I got home, I wanted to plant them to see if they could survive outside the island. Who would have thought that the first time I planted something, I would eat people to death. From then on,
His father no longer tried to plant those seeds, but simply collected them for fun.
"Okay, then you take me to your house to have a look first. If the seeds are not good, I won't want them!" Lin Shuran was overjoyed. Just the few seeds in the black bag made her overjoyed. She didn't know Kuang Bao's home.
What other surprises are waiting for her?
So, Lin Shuran followed Kuang Bao to his home. His home was in a village near the city gate in the western suburbs of the capital. The third home at the entrance of the village was Kuang Bao's home. The earth-and-stone house was a little dilapidated, but the yard was not small, and there were several trees planted there.
There are fruit trees, but as soon as you enter the hospital, you can smell a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. A girl who looks about Heping'er's age is brewing medicine, and she is surrounded by four or five children of different ages.
Kuang Bao introduced that those were his children, and that his wife was lying in bed sick and could not come out to see people. Then he took Lin Shuran to a room in the east, pointed to a short tank in the room and said, "I
The rare seeds that dad found at sea are all here, and they are all sold to you!"
There was eagerness and worry in Kuang Bao's eyes. He was afraid that Lin Shuran would suddenly decide not to want these seeds. After all, his father didn't even know what these seeds were. He just collected them because they thought they were strange and rare. Some of them had been kept for many years.
If they are broken or even infested with insects, pick out the good ones and store them in this tank.
Lin Shuran opened the tank and took a look. She was really happy. Kuang Bao's father was really a capable man. There were many precious seeds in it. She quickly closed the tank lid.
"Thirty taels?" Lin Shuran looked at Kuang Bao and asked specifically.
"Sir, how are you going to take those things back? How about I help you carry them to the town?" Kuang Liu'er seemed to be aware of Lin Shuran's dilemma. The short vat in the room was not light, and the other party looked weak and weak.
Probably can't move it.
At this time, Lin Shuran walked out of the room. She originally wanted Kuang Bao to help her move the jar with the seeds to a nearby town so that she could find a carriage to transport the seeds back. However, Kuang Bao, who got the money, was only thinking about gambling.
It was something about the workshop, so he was gone before she came out.
Unexpectedly, Kuang Bao flicked his sleeves and said: "The people at Quansheng Gambling House are very fierce. Last time, they almost beat me to death for missing a penny or two. This time, the shopkeeper said, not even a penny should be missing, otherwise
I'll sell you to a brothel, and your mother's illness will wait a little longer."
"Since your family can be found, naturally there are others in the world who can find it!" Lin Shuran was not deceived by Kuang Bao, but going out to sea to search would definitely consume a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources. Now that there are ready-made products, she naturally would not
Missed it, "Thirty taels is just thirty taels, but you should keep this money for your wife's medical treatment. If you lose the bet, you will really have nothing."
Lin Shuran shook her head. The Kuang family seemed to be at the end of its rope. There were several heavy coughs coming from the main room, and several sallow-looking children looked at her pitifully and timidly.
Lin Shuran happened to have some silver with her, so she gave thirty taels to Kuang Bao, planning to instruct Hong Gu, who was secretly following her, to move the vat to the farm in the southern suburbs.
But Kuang Liu'er wanted to stop him and said: "Dad, you said the same thing last time. When you got to the gambling house, you changed. You took the money to gamble again. Mom, she is already very ill. She needs to go see a doctor quickly.
Otherwise, you give me a few taels of silver first, and I will take my mother to see a doctor first. There is nothing to eat at home."
The young master in front of him might have little experience and was unfamiliar with the goods. He thought it was something he had never seen before, so he found it strange. He was afraid that Lin Shuran would regret it, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Thirty taels, no more, these seeds are hard to come by in the world.
Found the second copy.”
When she walked out of the room, she saw Kuang Bao's children looking at her curiously. Kuang Bao took the money and was eager to go out. He said to his eldest daughter Kuang Liu'er: "Liu'er, daddy
I just sold all your grandfather's seeds to this young man. Now that dad is rich, dad will pay off the gambling house's debt and will never gamble again. You wait until dad comes back!"
Kuang Bao rubbed his hands happily. He owed Quansheng Gambling thirty taels of silver, and now he could save his life. He decided to go to the gambling house to pay back the money as soon as he got the money, and he would never gamble again.
Kuang Bao thought that she was not satisfied after seeing the seeds. He thought that the treasure in his father's eyes might be worthless in the eyes of others, otherwise people with vicious eyes like Mr. Pei would not take these seeds in their eyes. Mr. Pei would not look down on them.
Above, it shows that this kind of thing is really useless.
"No more gambling, no more gambling!" Kuang Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Lin Shuran was unwilling to spend thirty taels to buy it. He was anxious to find another bag for her to put the seeds in the tank, but Lin Shuran said that she didn't even want to buy the seeds in the tank.
They also asked for it together, "Okay, I'll give this tank to you!"
After saying that, Kuang Bao took the money and left without looking back, leaving only a sad and helpless Kuang Liu'er and a few children with sallow faces.
Similarly, Lin Shuran also felt that Kuang Liu'er in front of her was too thin and weak. She shook her head. Hong Gu was nearby. As long as she said hello, it would not be difficult to take away the things.
She raised her eyes and scanned the front yard of Kuang's house carefully. Apart from a few fruit trees, nothing else was planted, so she asked Kuang Liu'er: "Girl, do you have any other seeds at home that you found from overseas?"
Come here? Have you ever planted it yourself?"
Kuang Liuer shook her head honestly and replied: "The seeds that grandpa has found over the years are all in that tank. My dad packed some in a cloth bag yesterday because he doesn't know if the things that grow out of these seeds are poisonous.
From very early on, grandpa didn’t allow us to plant.”
Ancient people did not pay attention to planting methods. They always sprinkled seeds and let them grow freely. Lin Shuran just felt strange. Since the Kuang family had so many strange seeds in their hands, why didn't they try to grow one? Are there any other ones?
reason?
