Boss Yuan suddenly lost his mood. Shu Yu sighed sympathetically, “Have you been deceived? Do you think this is something good?”
Shu Yu comforted him. “Don’t feel bad. You can take it back and try planting it on half an acre of land. You might grow a lot of flowers later. You can admire it when you have nothing to do and your mood will improve.”
Boss Yuan didn’t feel comforted at all. “Plant my ass. These flowers are not edible or drinkable. They can’t even be sold. Why should I plant them on half an acre of land? Am I crazy?”
Shu Yu touched her nose. “Then…l can’t do anything about it. This thing is indeed quite useless. The main thing is that it won’t last long. The person who lied to you is really wicked.”
Boss Yuan suddenly raised his head. “It can’t grow?”
“Of course. You can’t possibly store seeds for a few years, right? The one in your hand has been there for a while. I’m afraid it won’t be able to grow flowers soon. That’s why 1 said that the person who lied to you had bad intentions.”
Shu Yu sighed and shook her head. She turned around and left with her hands behind her back.
However, in her heart, she muttered, one, two…Before she could count to three, Boss Yuan rushed in front of her and blocked her way. “Wait, wait.” Shu Yu frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“l, I’ll sell this seed to you. I don’t want much, five taels of silver, how about it?”
Shu Yu shook her head. “Are you kidding me? You also said that this thing shouldn’t be eaten or drunk. Why should I buy it? If it were those expensive orchids and peonies, people might buy them after I planted them. Who would I sell these flowers that were as big as a basin? No, no, I don’t want it.”
Boss Yuan’s eloquence seemed to have suddenly improved. “You can’t say that. Since you know this thing, you must have seen someone grow this flower before, right? The other party planted it because they liked it. You don’t need to plant it. You can just sell the seed to the person who planted it. What do you think?”
Shu Yu was almost amused by him. “I do have a friend who planted this flower before, but he’s in Beijing. Do you think I’ll send it to him? Besides, since he had planted it before, he had the seeds in his hands. Why would he need a flower seed that didn’t look very good?”
She was about to leave when Boss Yuan stopped her again. “Brother, don’t go. You can think of it this way. If your friend can grow it, you can too. Later, you can invite him over to see who grows it better.”
Shu Yu wanted to agree immediately when she saw how hard he tried to persuade him.
However, her face was still tense, as if she was considering the possibility of what he said. “What you said is interesting. My friend likes to compare himself with me in everything. 1 can give him a surprise later.”
Boss Yuan’s eyes lit up and he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, “You’re right.
How about this? You can buy it over. I don’t need five taels of silver. Just give me one tael. One tael is enough.”
Shu Yu frowned and turned to leave.
Boss Yuan quickly took a few steps forward to stop him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Then give me a price and see how much it is suitable.”
Shu Yu touched her chin. “At most, it’s 30 coins. I bought it at the risk of being beaten by my wife. If it doesn’t work, you can ask someone else.”
Shu Yu wanted to lower the price again, but she feared that the other party would run away if she lowered it too much.
After all, when Boss Yuan first entered the pawnshop, she had expected a hundred taels of silver..
