Chapter 55 55. Weird old man

The street is the same as outside, but obviously the people here live a richer life. No one among the people coming and going is wearing patchwork clothes.

Su Yao followed He Chunli and stopped at a grocery store: "The boss here is a strange person. He knows how to accept things from outside. No matter what, as long as it is valuable, he will accept it. Naturally, the things in this store are also all kinds of.

, as long as you can afford it, you can sell whatever is in the store."

Su Yao nodded numbly and walked into the store.

It looks old and small from the outside, but unexpectedly, there is something else going on inside. This store is bigger than the supply and marketing cooperative in town. As Chunli said, it really has everything.

He Chunli pointed the direction to Su Yao and asked her to find what she wanted, while she started talking with the boss.

Su Yao found the seeds in a corner. Apart from the handwritten word "seed", there was no other mark on the entire package.

Su Yao put all the seeds in bags.

He looked back and saw that no one was watching him. With a thought, he took out a palm-sized package of food from the space.

Taking the seeds, Su Yao found the boss.

He Chunli and the boss also stopped the discussion at the right time: "You want this? You really did it with the seeds."

When the boss heard this, his eyes fell on Su Yao's hand.

Su Yao smiled and asked the boss politely: "Boss, how do you sell this kind of stuff?"

The boss didn't answer immediately.

The seeds were not from my store, but were sold on consignment by a strange old man. Because he occupied a space in the store, he would give me a sum of money every month, so I just threw them in the corner.

When the old man sold it on consignment, there was only one condition. If someone bought it, he couldn't sell it directly. He had to take someone to find him, and he also left an address.

The boss thought there was something magical about this kind of seed before, so he tried to plant a bunch of them himself, and what grew was just like ordinary crops.

Since then, the seeds are still gathering dust in the corner, and no one cares about them. The strange old man has never come again.

Looking up and down, I saw that Su Yao was an ordinary person. If it weren't for He Chunli's guidance, he wouldn't even be qualified for this street.

There were so many things in the store, but she just wanted seeds. And from what He Chunli said, she should have looked for seeds in many places.

The boss couldn't figure out what attracted Su Yao to seeds, and in the end he could only attribute it to lack of knowledge.

Seeing that the boss didn't say a word, Su Yao asked cautiously: "Is this kind of seed expensive? Is it a magical seed?"

The boss came back to his senses: "No, this kind is a bit special. Someone else put it here for consignment. I don't have the right to set the price. If you really want it, you still have to find the seller."

Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would be busy with spring planting and would not have time, so he asked: "Where is the seller? Is it convenient to meet today? I want to buy it today."

"Okay, sure." The boss also wanted to find out what was wrong with this simple seed, so he readily agreed.

After calling his wife to come out to help with the inspection, the boss took Su Yao and He Chunli and walked around in circles into the residential area at the back. He stopped at the door of a small courtyard and knocked on the door three times.

There was a sound of a cane, and then the door opened and an old man appeared. He had white hair and a long beard, making it difficult to see his true appearance.

It seemed that the person was the owner of the grocery store, and there were two strangers behind him. The old man stroked his beard and said, "Has anyone bought my things?"

"I bought it, I bought it," the boss said with a side step, "This little girl bought it."

The old man nodded understandingly: "You come in with me, and the others can leave."

The boss came here just to know the details of the bag of seeds, so he was naturally dismissed without a word. And Su Yao was brought here by He Chunli, and many people saw it, so naturally he had to ensure Su Yao's safety.

The two of them stood still, and Su Yao couldn't follow the old man in. The three of them were in a stalemate at the door.

The old man asked: "Is there anything else?"

The boss didn't beat around the bush: "You've been selling consignment in my store for so long and you still make such an exorbitant request. I'm curious about these packets of seeds, but that's okay."

The old man chuckled: "Have you never tried planting this kind of seed? It's just an ordinary seed. Too much curiosity will kill you."

Seeing that the boss still looked unconvinced, the old man added: "I just want to find someone who can farm to help me farm."

This reason is not bad. Those who can buy seeds must know how to farm. But why does a lonely old man insist on farming? The boss doesn't understand, but he doesn't worry about it anymore.

Looking at He Chunli again, the old man asked: "What else do you have to do?"

He Chunli pointed at Su Yao: "I brought you here, and I want to take him back."

Seeing Su Yao standing next to He Chunli, the old man gave his assurance: "My apprentice is guarding the entrance where you came in. Just go and wait. If she doesn't come out, you can get her."

He Chunli had to ask that person if he was the old man's apprentice, so she was worried about leaving Su Yao alone.

Su Yao looked at the old man and was a little curious in his heart. As the saying goes, the brave will be starved to death and the timid will be starved to death.

I felt an impulse in my heart and blurted out: "Sister, please go back and wait for me. I will discuss the price with the old man and I will go to you after buying it."

He Chunli hesitated again and followed the boss.

He Chunli and the two walked away, and Su Yao was brought into the yard.

In the small yard, apart from two paths for workers to walk, the rest of the yard was filled with various plants, which Su Yao could hardly name.

After entering the house, the old man looked at Su Yao's package and said bluntly: "Take out the contents."

Su Yao took out the seeds he got from the grocery store one by one: "These are the ones I want to buy. Master, please give me a price."

The old man didn't answer, but continued to ask Su Yao to get something.

Apart from these, the only thing in the bag was the bag of seeds that he took out from the space. Su Yao didn't know how the old man saw it, so he hesitated and put it on the table.

When he took out the small bag of grain, the old man's eyes lit up. He took it and put it under his nose. He asked in detail, but he still had some unfinished information.

"Where did you come from?" the old man asked, clutching the bag tightly.

Su Yao realized that the matter was not simple and said confusedly: "I grew it myself."

The old man did not ask further: "If I give you seeds, you can grow something like this?"

"Whatever seed grows, how can it be exactly the same?" Su Yao felt that something was wrong with this old man. He didn't understand such a simple truth, and his tone was slightly impatient.

The old man was not angry: "No, I mean the kind with spiritual energy. Can everything you plant have spiritual energy?"
