Chapter 1287 Buying Lotus Seeds

 After the group of people left, Xue Yun took Mr. Xue and frowned and said, "Dad, you just let your eldest brother go with them?"

 Although there were several adults he admired there, they were still strangers, weren't they?

 People's hearts are unpredictable. Why did his father let his eldest brother, who had no spiritual power, go with someone else?

The more Xue Yun thought about it, the more depressed he became.

 “After all these years, you can see that your brother has taken the initiative to go with whom and where?”

Mr. Xue looked at the carriage going away and sighed: "Hey! Since he proposed it himself, just let him go."

Xue Yun pursed his lips and said, "It's okay to follow them. Lord Jiyue may really be able to cure my elder brother's stubborn illness!"

“What? Lord Jiyue also has medical skills?”

Mr. Xue was a little surprised.

“I heard that Master Mu Qing and Master Zhao Bin both called him Jiyue Miracle Doctor. Moreover, he showed it to my elder brother and said it could be cured, and even prescribed medicine.”

Mr. Xue frowned and said, "Why didn't this guy even mention it to me?"

Xue Yun spread his hands, "How do I know?"

 “Hey! Go back!”

Mr. Xue sighed and shook his head, pulling Xue Yun back to the yard.

　　——

 One month later, Dongcheng.

"Madam, do you want to buy lotus seeds? Buy them back and make soup for the children."

 Gu Panxia looked at the plump, milky white lotus seeds with their skins removed, squatted down and asked, "How do you sell this?"

 Among the four cities, Dongcheng and Nancheng have the most lotus seeds.

 “Five cents and one liang.”

The lotus seed seller is an old woman with a smile on her face covered with age spots.

Five cents per tael, which means fifty cents per catty. The lotus seeds are of good quality, so the price is not bad.

The old woman didn't sell much, just half a cloth bag. By estimation, it weighed about a hundred kilograms.

 “I want these, how much do you think they cost?”

 “Everyone, all?”

The old woman was startled and said, "Young lady, are you sure you are not joking?"

There are a lot of lotus seeds here, and I usually sell a dozen of them a day, which makes me laugh.

 We were reluctant to sell it at a lower price. After all, after working hard for more than half a year, it was only at this time that we could make a little profit.

However, it was sold at a higher price and no one wanted it, so when she heard that someone bought it in one lump sum today, the old woman was surprised and happy.

 Gu Panxia nodded, "Yes, I'll give them all. How much do you think is appropriate?"

“Girl, there are five hundred taels here, are you sure you want them all?”

 Normally, when wealthy families come over, they only buy two or three hundred taels at most. This time, it was the first time she saw something that cost one thousand taels.

“Auntie, don’t be surprised. There are many people in our family. I thought your lotus seeds were of good quality, so I wanted to buy them all.”

  The old woman nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, there are a thousand taels in total here."

"One thousand taels, right?" Gu Panxia took off her purse, took out an ingot of five taels of silver and handed it to the old woman.

She smiled and asked, "Is that the number?"

 “Ah! Yes, yes!”

 The old woman took the silver and smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes.

Mu Qing grabbed the cloth bag and put it on her shoulder, and asked curiously: "Girl, why did you buy so many lotus seeds?"

Gu Panxia raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course it's for eating. Could it be that it's for display?"

There is a pond of lotus in her space, but what is depressing is that the lotus only blooms but does not bear lotus seeds, so she cannot eat the fresh lotus seeds even if she wants to.

Mu Qing frowned, "I can't eat so much at once!"

Jiyue reminded: "Lotus seeds are slightly cool in nature, so women should not eat too much."
