Chapter 296 The next meal has been reserved
He was quite curious now. When did such a powerful person appear in Kyoto? How many medicinal herbs did he have? Or what other medicinal herbs did he have? Even if he couldn't afford them, it would be good to go and learn more! Unfortunately, Glenn Ru didn't know either. He only cared about the pills. As for where the medicinal herbs came from, he didn't know. Anyway, they were not given by him. He only cared about the good effect.
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor. It's enough that it's effective. Nothing else matters." Glenn took the pill back from the doctor with a smile. He was originally planning to give it to the doctor, but since it was so precious, he decided to keep it for himself. After all, that brat didn't look like a generous person. He only gave two pills from the whole bottle.
As for the waste, it is even more trivial. Anyway, it is not his family that is wasted. He will take this pill tonight. If the effect is good, he will work tomorrow. Isn't it just beating people? It's a trivial matter. He also learned boxing when he was young.
It seems that the brat didn't bring back the sack that he had prepared before. I have to go to the kitchen to see if there is a suitable one and choose a sturdy and suitable one. As long as I have these medicine pills, he will take care of all the brat's work in the future.
Poor Pei Jiezhi and his group didn’t know that before they had recovered from their beating, someone had already made a reservation for the next meal.
Shu Xiaoxiao had no time to think about anything else now. She believed in the efficacy of ginseng water. As long as Old Man Ge took one pill, he would definitely take on the job of putting on the sack without any hesitation.
Her brother had also sent some cucumbers and other things, so she was going to go to the dock to see if there were any seeds.
She had received news that many sea merchants were coming back today, especially those she had specifically greeted who would probably arrive at the dock today. She couldn't wait for them to come find her, so she wanted to go over and take a look herself.
Today the sky is cloudless and the weather is exceptionally sunny. The dock is crowded and bustling because of the returning cargo ships.
The only bad thing was that the weather was hot and there were many people. Not only were there many laborers carrying goods, but there were also various fish vendors around. The combined smells were so intoxicating that Shu Xiaoxiao almost went back the same way.
Fortunately, there was a steward who knew Shu Xiaoxiao and brought her into the boat. After all, these were things that Master Ye had specifically requested and had said he would buy them at a high price. Although the exact amount of silver was unknown, these seeds were stored separately.
After all, if they clearly brought it back, but couldn't find it when Uncle Ye came to get it, that would be unlucky!
You know, because they were worried that the seeds would get moldy, they often took them to the deck to ventilate and dry them, which took a lot of effort.
The space on the boat was quite large, but with the seeds in front of her, Shu Xiaoxiao had no time to appreciate the layout of the boat and directly opened the bag to see what seeds were in it.
At first glance, there are quite a lot of varieties, and they are neatly arranged. Shu Xiaoxiao looked at them one by one and found that she actually knew quite a few of them.
Watermelon seeds, peanut seeds, pumpkin seeds, wax gourd seeds, corn seeds... Shu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she saw these. She brought back a lot of good things. Although there were no sesame seeds and there were many unfamiliar ones, most of them could be planted. These seeds were all active. Having been with Shenbao for so long, she could still feel whether the seeds were active, regardless of anything else.
Especially, there are watermelon seeds in it, which is a pleasant surprise. I am drooling just thinking about the taste of watermelon. Who could have thought that we could eat watermelon in ancient times? Although there are not many seeds, only a small handful, but with ginseng treasure and ginseng water, no matter how few seeds there are, as long as they are not completely dead, they can be revived for you.
There are also peanut seeds, corn seeds, and sweet potatoes that are already being planted. The people will have three meals a day in the near future! Shu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and took them all. Even if she didn't know what they were, she would plant them when she returned. Who knows what treasures she would plant?
These caravans could be said to be the largest shipping companies on the sea. They traveled to many places and far away places, so the relationship had to be maintained well. She remembered that many high-yield crops in modern times came from overseas, so it would be great if they could be spread here in advance.
Then this line must be maintained well, maybe some crops can be discovered in advance, and the people on this land will no longer suffer from food shortages.
So Shu Xiaoxiao directly paid 10,000 taels of silver for these seeds, and the merchant ships distributed them according to the quantity they brought back.
"This young master has no shortage of money, but he wants all kinds of rare and strange seeds. If you come across any seeds outside in the future, no matter you recognize them or not, just bring them back. As long as this young master likes them, you will get money." Shu Xiaoxiao said generously. Only with money can there be motivation.
As long as they are paid enough silver, they will be more dedicated. Shu Xiaoxiao doesn't want these merchants to be distracted because of a few taels of silver.
Moreover, even with advanced modern technology, going out to sea cannot guarantee 100% safety, let alone now. People take such a big risk, even if it is not because of her, but she has benefited a lot, maybe even more.
So, on the premise that she had enough money, she didn't mind giving her more, and these seeds were worth the price.
You know, just from selling cucumbers and tomatoes, the eldest brother has earned her tens of thousands of taels of silver, and this is only half of it. There may be more in the future, so we are not short of money!
Shu Tingfei and Zhenzhu widened their eyes in surprise. Is the younger sister/young master so rich? Ten thousand taels! He gave it to me as soon as he said so.
No, isn't it too much silver for such a small amount of seeds? Ten thousand taels of silver, they have never seen so much silver before. But in front of outsiders, no matter how surprised they are, they have to keep their expressions down, so as not to embarrass their sister/master.
Although the two men tried to control their expressions, their eyes couldn't help but drift towards the seeds. Otherwise, they would go look for various seeds when they have time. It's not that they are short of the 12,000 taels of silver, but they suddenly became interested in seeds.
Although Shu Tingfei and Zhenzhu managed to control their expressions, no one paid attention to them because the bosses who followed them were all stunned. Ten thousand taels!
Although they earn a lot from going out to sea, they also have to invest a lot. The time at sea can be as short as a few months or as long as a year. They have to prepare for food, drink, and toileting for all the people on the ship. The sea is unpredictable and if they encounter bad weather, not only will they lose the full ship of cargo, but they may even lose their lives. When they go out on a trip, their lives really hang on their belts. Even if they are safe, they still have to find the right cargo to sell. When they come back, they still have to pay various taxes.
In general, although it is not easy to earn money and the risks are high, they did not expect that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel. They usually did not take these seeds seriously and brought them back before, but no one could grow them. Even if they did, they did not know if the fruits could be eaten. There have been cases of people being killed by them before.
