Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 121 Two Grain Shops

Su Yue took a closer look at the little old man in front of her and pondered to herself.

Even if he were to search every inch of his body thoroughly, he probably wouldn't be able to find a single copper coin.

So she waved her hand dismissively and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, just hurry up and move these grain seeds away!"

After the old man and the several strong men following behind each carried a heavy bag of grain seeds.

Qiaoxiang, who was standing to the side, did not hesitate at all. She skillfully jumped onto the carriage and raised the whip in her hand.

With a crisp crack of the whip, the fine horse pulled the carriage away at breakneck speed.

Meanwhile, Su Yue was still leaning against the window of the carriage, her eyes constantly peering out, hoping to find someone to sell her something again.

Strangely enough, perhaps because we were getting closer to the town, there were more and more pedestrians on this road.

However, most people were in a hurry, as if they had something extremely urgent to deal with.

Nevertheless, after some thought, Su Yue finally decided to go into the town and explore it properly.

Before long, the carriage arrived at the entrance to the town.

Surprisingly, when they entered the city, no one stopped or questioned them, and they entered the city smoothly.

Su Yue got off the carriage and looked around curiously.

The town was bustling with activity, with a significantly larger number of people coming and going on the streets than in Ping'an Town and Qingshi Town.

Moreover, there are quite a few people here.

And from time to time, bursts of hawking cries could be heard.

Hearing the commotion, Su Yue immediately became interested.

She jogged to an old man's lantern stall and excitedly bent down.

First, he picked up the lantern and examined it closely, then he put it down and picked up another lantern to examine it repeatedly.

This old man's craftsmanship is simply superb! Putting everything else aside, just look at this little rabbit lantern, it's so lifelike and vivid.

It looks as if it's about to leap out of your hand at any moment. Its petite and exquisite appearance makes it impossible to put down once you've seen it.

Look again at that lotus lantern; its pink petals unfold layer upon layer, and its emerald green lotus leaves sway gently.

In a daze, it seemed as if a faint fragrance of flowers wafted over, making one feel intoxicated.

Su Yue stood in front of the stall, her gaze wandering among the exquisite lanterns, but she was eventually drawn to the adorable rabbit lantern.

Without hesitation, she took out two taels of silver and happily pocketed it.

Then, carrying the rabbit lantern, she ran like a cheerful little bird to a steamed bun shop not far away.

The steaming bun shop was filled with the aroma of freshly made steamed buns. Su Yue exchanged ten copper coins for two large meat buns.

I couldn't wait to take a bite, and my mouth was filled with the rich aroma of meat and the delicious broth.

Before long, he followed closely behind her, and a bunch of things appeared in his arms.

She was tall with short hair, and was carrying a bunch of things in her arms. Her hands were also full of various items.

And so, an interesting scene was created: a charming little girl was happily buying and eating at the same time.

Following closely behind was a tall man carrying a large amount of stuff, who was trying his best to keep the items in his arms and hands from falling.

While eating, Su Yue didn't forget to feed Dali, and the two of them strolled around while eating.

In less than half an hour, the entire town had been explored.

As they passed the grain shop, Su Yue couldn't help but slow down and went inside to take a look.

As expected, there were no grain seeds for sale here.

Not to mention grain seeds, there are very few seeds of other kinds either.

After Dali had carefully placed all the purchased items into the carriage, Su Yue turned and walked into the largest grain shop in town.

As soon as she stepped into the shop, she calmly looked around and carefully examined the room.

Many bags of grain were scattered haphazardly on the ground, but surprisingly, many of them were empty.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yue finally couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you still have any grain seeds available for sale?"

However, the shopkeeper seemed uninterested in Su Yue's question, and didn't even bother to lift his head.

After all, the price of grain seeds changes every day and continues to soar.

Oh dear! What a pity! All the stock I had sold out today.

If we had foreseen this situation earlier, we should have stockpiled more food!

Now I deeply regret it, but it's all too late; it's simply too late for regrets!

"No, no, young lady, you'd better try asking around elsewhere." The shopkeeper waved his hand helplessly and added this last sentence.

However, Su Yue did not take the shopkeeper's rather impolite tone to heart.

She said directly, "Shopkeeper, to be honest, I have quite a lot of grain seeds here. I wonder if you would be interested in buying some?"

Upon hearing the words "grain seeds," the shopkeeper felt a surge of excitement, his heart pounding wildly like a drum.

However, when he looked up and saw that the person in front of him was actually a young girl, he was surprised to find that she was quite young.

The newly ignited flame of hope seemed to be extinguished by a bucket of cold water, and he immediately lost all his energy.

Although the fabric of the clothes the little girl was wearing was of fairly good quality.

But in the end, she was just a greenhorn.

"Young lady, listen to my advice, you'd better go play somewhere else!"

"These grain seeds aren't something you can joke about or tease about," the shopkeeper said, waving his hands repeatedly to signal Su Yue to leave.

His expression was serious, clearly indicating that he did not believe what Su Yue said.

However, Su Yue showed no sign of backing down. She widened her eyes and put her hands on her hips.

He retorted angrily, "Hey, I have to say, you shopkeeper really don't know what's good for you!"

Do I look like I'm joking with you?

It's a pity you're so ungrateful. Well then, since the shopkeeper is unwilling to cooperate with me, I'll have to find someone else!

After saying that, Su Yue ignored the shopkeeper's reaction, grabbed Dali beside her, and turned to walk out of the shop without looking back.

The two walked for a while and found another shop, slightly smaller than the previous grain shop.

As soon as I walked in, a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties came to greet me.
