Chapter 190 Flower Seeds
She can just peel off the black stuff, there's no need to be so pretentious.
It's just that I just can't get over it in my heart. I feel it's a pity that such good shrimps were ruined by the chef.
If she had such good ingredients, she would at least make a plate of braised dishes and another plate of salt and pepper dishes.
When we get back to Lianglin Village, we’ll go catch shrimps in the river!
After finishing their meal, the five of them went shopping to see what was going on, bought some other things, and then asked where there was a flower market.
They didn't find any flower market, but they did buy some flower seeds from a seed shop. The owner of the seed shop introduced them to an old gardener and asked them to ask around, hoping he might find some good seeds there.
After thanking the shopkeeper, Mr. Chen went to the wine shop and bought some good wine.
Fortunately, Zhou Mingshu brought money with her, so she would not let Mr. Chen pay for these things.
She rushed to pay the bill and brought some good wine for her family.
Following the address, they found a yard.
As expected, they could smell the fragrance of flowers from a long distance away, and not far away there was a little old man lying on a rocking chair drinking with a large palm-leaf fan.
Mr. Chen picked up the wine, walked forward, greeted everyone, and started talking about the business.
Zhou Mingshu was some distance away and didn't hear clearly what they were saying.
But the old man was in good spirits and looked at Zhou Mingshu with some eagerness.
"I do have some seeds at home, but they cost money. What do you want?"
The old gardener took them to his yard. The flowers in his garden could be described as colorful, and there were indeed many varieties.
Zhou Mingshu looked at the wooden shelf in front of him, which was filled with various porcelain bottles.
Rich like a peony, elegant like an autumn chrysanthemum.
There are so many varieties that it’s dizzying.
However, Zhou Mingshu did not choose too many. He only wanted some that were very ornamental and could also be used as medicine and ointments.
For example, flowers such as peonies, roses, and chrysanthemums can be propagated by seeds.
Fortunately, there are many varieties, so the trip is not in vain.
After paying the money, Zhou Mingshu did not intend to leave, but chatted with the old gardener for a few more words.
She needed to explain to him that she would come again if she had the chance.
The old gardener naturally agreed since there was money to be made and said he would help her collect more seeds.
There was still time at this time, so Mr. Chen and Mrs. Xu did not plan to stay overnight in the county town.
They packed up the things they bought on the ox cart and started their return journey.
You can reach Jinmiao Town after dark.
"Mingshu, are these seeds enough?"
The old gardener had many varieties of seeds, but it was still far from the number Zhou Mingshu wanted.
"It doesn't matter. The seeds will sprout, bloom and produce seeds. You can plant them when the time comes. Take your time. There will be more and more in the future."
The smile on Zhou Mingshu's face was not fake. As long as she had this gimmick, she could purchase flower seeds directly in the system and also add some uncommon varieties.
By next year, there will definitely be a lot of flowers growing on the ground next door.
"By the way, Uncle Chen, I recently developed a soap, but I forgot to show it to you. I'll bring it to you next time and try it. It might sell better than the ointment."
Zhou Mingshu wanted to bring some of it here a while ago, but the soap-making process takes too long and he couldn't produce too much at once.
Before Mr. Chen could say anything, Madam Xu beside him exclaimed.
"It sells better than balm? Then what is this soap?"
"Auntie, soap is used to wash clothes. After using soap, you don't need to beat the clothes with a stick. You just need to rub them gently to wash away all the stains on the clothes."
"I see, how clean is it?"
"Haha, Auntie, you got the point. This soap can clean the chef's apron and make it as good as new."
Zhou Mingshu talked about the various benefits of soap, which made Mrs. Xu beside him very excited.
"That's great! When you get it, I'll invite my old sisters to come to my house and promote this good thing."
Her group of old sisters are all rich people. They are either the proprietresses of shops on the street or the bosses who collect rent. They are all well-known figures.
Those high-end perfumes were sold to them before.
There is no need to worry about the source of customers.
In fact, Zhou Mingshu had never thought about this problem. Even if Chen Sheng’s Baicaotang couldn’t be sold, she could hire some people to wash clothes on the street and promote the magical uses of this soap.
Mr. Chen estimated the time to be about right, and when they got home, it was just getting dark.
He asked his wife to cook some food while they took the things off the ox cart and then unloaded the cart, letting the ox have a good rest, eat grass and drink water.
There were indeed many delicious and fun things in the county town. They also released lanterns in the moat. The catfish in the river were thicker than their calves. It seemed that their food was quite good.
Zhou Mingshu put the things she bought in Chen Banxia's house first. In addition to the wine and drinks, she also bought some candies, preserved fruits and cakes.
She had almost spent all the money that Old Lady Zhou gave her.
Their dinner was very simple, just sesame seed cakes and pickles.
After eating, I took a shower and went to bed.
I was hot, tired and sleepy after running outside all day.
Chen Banxia fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the bed. Zhou Mingshu looked at her peaceful face, smiled, and closed his eyes slightly.
Zhou Mingshu put all the clothes she had changed into into a small bag without washing them, along with the things she had bought.
She can go home today, and she wants to go to the jelly stall to take a look.
"Uncle Chen, I'm going to the market to see if my uncle and the others are here, and let them know."
"Okay, go ahead, but what are you doing with a basin?"
Mr. Chen looked at the basin in Zhou Mingshu's hand and was a little confused. Only when he asked did he understand.
Mingshu went to get him some jelly.
"Tsk, this silly child..."
Before he could call for help, Zhou Mingshu had already run a long way.
They have to keep the jelly to sell for money, so how can he feel comfortable feeding it to him all the time?
You must give her money when she comes back!
When he arrived at the vegetable market, Zhou Mingshu saw the little donkey at first sight.
Standing there with a proud look on his face.
"Uncle, aunt, mother, I'm back~"
Zhou Mingshu ran over to them, but apart from Boss Zhou who responded to her, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhu ignored her...
Well, the reason is because they are too busy!
The stall was filled with customers buying jelly.
"Uncle, business is so good!"
Zhou Mingshu whispered to Boss Zhou.
"That's right. Look at how busy your aunt and your mother are. They don't even have time to wipe the sweat off their face."
Boss Zhou's dark face looked even darker when he smiled.
