Chapter Thirty-Eight

Zhu Kuang has no time to care about what the Zhu family is doing and thinking.

He is very busy now and has a rare day off. He did not stay in the noodle restaurant to help, but went to Qingshandu.

Qingshan Ferry is the only ferry near Lan County. There are many boats coming and going, and the daily life is quite lively. However, for Zhukuan, most of the goods are not new.

He came here with the idea of ​​finding a bargain. It would be great to find good things, but it would be fine if he didn't. If he turned around back and forth a few more times, he might not be able to find it unexpectedly.

But unexpectedly, after only a while of leaving, he met a businessman who had many items on a linen cloth, scattered like a grocery store.

"Young master, take a look, they are all imported products, and good things are cheap!" Seeing Zhu Kuang glanced at him, the man shouted.

Zhu Kuang was attracted by the words imported. The imported products of this era are imported goods from later generations. Maybe there are really some good things.

After all, Lan County is inland. Although there is a ferry crossing, imported products are rare and cannot be missed.

Because of this idea, Zhu Kuang took a serious look at the stall, but unexpectedly he really saw the good thing.

I saw a bamboo basket in the corner of the stall, which contained most of the basket of round and earthy ball-like items. Isn’t it just potatoes?

He blinked, sure that it was not because he read it wrong, but because he really saw the potato. Now, he was overjoyed.

A must-have item for time travelers to make a fortune. With potatoes, he can also show his talents and vigorously develop the local economy.

Especially in Lan County, although the land resources are sufficient, they are drought and barren, and ordinary crops basically do not grow in this place.

However, potato crops do not have the problem of drought and not growing.

This drought-resistant crop is most suitable for growing it in the mountains. The most important thing is that the potato yield is high, and it can be used as a staple food or a vegetable, which is more useful.

Excited, really excited!

God knows that he is so excited that he can't help himself.

According to his only historical knowledge, potatoes had not been introduced at this time, but he did see them, so how could he not be excited?

This is decades earlier than historical records, but it is really epoch-making.

But why did something that shouldn't have appeared at this time?

After thinking about it, Zhu Kuang suspected that the potatoes had actually been introduced, but they were not discovered and used, which led to the lack of large-scale planting. Therefore, there is no record.

And his arrival may be an opportunity to discover crops like potatoes in advance.

Seeing that Zhu Kuang had not left like others, the businessman said in a lingering manner that it was not easy for him to transport these things over.

What he said was true. These things are indeed imported, but they are indeed eliminated after others have chosen them. He himself didn't see any use, because he happened to be taking a boat home, so he brought them along the way.

Every time he arrives at the ferry, he must go down and try to find someone to accept these, but there is no doubt that every time he is disappointed.

This time, as before, they were still placed in the market near the ferry to see if they could be sold.

He had been at the ferry for a long time, but no one cared about it.

This is the fifth or sixth ferry he has passed. If no one wants it, he wants to throw these things into the river.

It is rare that there is someone who doesn't dislike him. He is so excited that he ignores Zhu Kuang's excitement.

Zhu Kuang saw only potatoes at first sight. As for the others, he ignored them after seeing them.

"You have never seen these items before, they are quite fresh." Zhu Kuang said lightly under the excitement in his heart under suppression.

When doing business, you can’t express your thoughts.

"Young Master, look, these are all imported products. They are rare in our place. I spent a lot of money to get them in. If you like them, just give me three taels of silver."

It’s a pity that his tone of speaking revealed his excitement. What’s wrong with Zhu Kuan?

A few taels of silver will not lose even if you only buy potatoes. However, if you don’t take advantage, you are a fool. Zhu Kuang thinks he is not a fool, so of course he has to take advantage.

"Do you think I'm a fool? You just need a few taels of silver if you can't eat or wear something?" After saying that, Zhu Kuang made a gesture to leave.

The merchant was busy, so he grabbed Zhu Kuang and said, "Young master, stay tuned. Look, I only have this little item left. If you want it, don't give me three taels of silver. Just one tael of silver?"

Zhu Kuang looked at it and said, besides potatoes, there were some seeds, which happened to be what he knew, including tomato seeds, corn and peppers. As for the others, Zhu Kuang said that they were all worthless things and would not be favored by him when he was addicted.

One tael of silver is really not much, but this potato is a little less, and it only takes so many places to grow? How many years will it take to develop it?

"I got some money today, so I did a good job that day. But one or two taels of silver are too much, and you only have half a basket of things. Otherwise, you will be cheaper?" Zhu Kuang pointed at the potatoes in disgust.

When the man heard Zhu Kuang say this, he knew that he could sell it smoothly today, so he hurriedly said, "There are still a few baskets on the boat. The young master wants them and send them to the young master together, but one or two silvers really can't be cheap."

One tael of silver is not bad, it is better than throwing it away in vain.

Zhu Kuang heard this and was surprised, and there were still a few baskets, that would be great.

At this time, he just planted potatoes, so he took them back and planted them in his own field.

"Okay, it's not easy to see what you've come from afar. It's just one tael of silver, but you have to find someone to help me carry all those over." Zhu Kuang said, taking out a small piece of broken silver, holding one tael in his hand, and waiting for the merchant to move the things off the boat to check out.

Zhu Kuang returned to the county town with a cart of items.

Zhu Kuang didn't know at this time, but he didn't even have any extra surprises to take this cart.

The businessman looked at Zhu Kuang's energetic appearance and felt that he had been fooled, but he couldn't tell where he had been fooled.

"Why, I sold my baby to a low price today?" he murmured to himself.

"Tsk, you have sold all the things and treasures for so long. You can finally meet a fool. Just laugh secretly, and even suspect that you are selling them at a low price!"

After being run by other people on the same boat, the merchant also felt that he had really thought about it too much, so he didn't continue to think about it.

It was not until many years later that he passed by Lan County again that he knew what he had done.
