Chapter 68. Passing on the Fire

Chapter 68. Passing on the Fire

    There is a shop in the back alley of Quantan Town. The plaques are hung with delicacies from the mountains and seas.

    Pedestrians who came and went were shocked by the glass cabinet under the window and couldn't move, and they gathered around here in twos and threes, whispering to each other.

    There is also a wooden sign hanging on the door, which says that the opening time of the shop is uncertain, and it will open in accordance with the mountain season.

    The appetite of everyone was high. When they came back the next day, there were jars of tomato sauce in the glass cabinet, corn with green skin, red tomatoes, snow-white sweet potato powder, glutinous rice, etc. It seems that it is not much different from other fruit and vegetable sellers in the town.

    Aunt Song stood on the windowsill, looked at everyone with a smile, and greeted them warmly.

     "It doesn't matter if you don't buy it. You can take a look. The price is written on it, but it's only a dozen or twenty articles, but they are  all seeds from overseas countries."

Looking at the glass cabinet, his tone of voice was alarmed, "You guys spent a lot of money just to buy colored glaze, why are you selling things from Fanbang so cheap?"

     Buying other vegetables for ten or twenty cents is already expensive, but like that Dongzi goods, exotic vegetables cost thousands of dollars, and the same vegetables from Fanbang are sold so cheaply, it is really suspicious.     "Although this kind of thing is rare, it can't be compared with Dongzi goods. If you can plant it, you will produce more. If you can't eat it, you can sell it, but it's cheaper." 

   "It's called tomato, sweet and sour. Sugar, scrambled eggs or soup can be made. If you want to buy it, I have to make a few recipes for cooking. Everyone has seen it. We sell delicious food from mountains and seas, and we sell ingredients that match the season. Bamboo shoots, melons and fruits are sold in summer, and naturally there are other things to sell in autumn and winter."

     "If you don't buy them today, wait a few more days, and after this crop is sold, we may have to close the store and find new ingredients to sell, you have never seen it before."     Aunt Song was eloquent, grasping everyone's attention, but the man who had questioned before was the one who paid the most readily.

    Aunt Song greeted, Zou Cheng was in charge of fetching the items, and Ma Jiang collected money . Everyone was not interested in how good the things were, but simply wanted to be cheap and fresh.

    As soon as the items were sold out, the man hadn't left yet, standing in front of the windowsill, with a pale face and blushing cheeks, hesitantly holding the item and standing beside him when he wanted to speak.

    "Lang-jun has something to say?" Zou Cheng was busy packing up and closing the store, when he found out that he was abnormal, he asked.

    The man is a small official of Si Nong Temple, named Ye Wen. He has no other hobbies in his life. Whenever he sees some rare crops, he can't take his eyes off.

    Tomatoes, corn, sweet potato flour, etc., are not among the crops he knows. After knowing that they are overseas, he can't move his legs.

    He blushed, and he knew that what he said next might not be very appropriate, so he hesitated and asked again and again.

    "I'm from Si Nong Temple. I just heard from my aunt that these are basically obtained from overseas, and the yield will be high if you can grow them alive."
