Li Shiyue quickly completed the transaction with Miss Su Xia.

Then, with less than a minute left in the transaction, Su Xia suddenly remembered something. Just as the system interface was about to close, she took out a shiny object from her body, threw it forcefully, and the object was "whooshed" into the vortex of the mall platform.

time up!
The moment the countdown reached zero, the system interface returned to a completely black screen!
Li Shiyue looked at the teleportation vortex in her shop, where she had exchanged a lot of food with Su Xia for the items.

A tin box about the size of an adult's palm, and a shiny object that looked like crystal.

This crystal-like object must be the one Su Xia threw at the last moment.

Li Shiyue didn't look at the tin box first. Instead, she picked up the irregular crystal, which was only the size of two fingernails and looked like transparent crystal up close, but seemed to be glowing.

As soon as Li Shiyue touched the crystal, he felt a sensation that was both warm and cool.

When she looked down at the object more closely, she saw that something seemed to be flowing inside, and the flowing liquid was also emitting light.

Li Shiyue had several guesses about this thing in her mind. After taking a closer look, she put the glowing crystal into her system inventory.

Then, she turned around to look at the palm-sized tin box.

The box wasn't big, and it wasn't heavy when you held it in your hand.

Li Shiyue shook the iron box and heard the contents inside make a slight "whooshing" sound as she shook it.

The box had a snap-on design, and Li Shiyue pushed the lid open with a little force.

Upon opening it, Li Shiyue saw that, just as Su Xia had said, about two-thirds of the space inside was filled with seeds!

Correct!
It's a seed!
All sorts of different kinds of seeds are mixed together!
When Li Shiyue and Su Xia were on a live stream, and Li Shiyue mentioned that they were making a deal to take advantage of the system, Su Xia remembered when she was scavenging for supplies in a room in the shelter. Among the backpacks of some unknown dead person, she found an iron box containing a lot of seeds.

Upon hearing Su Xia mention the seed box, Li Shiyue quickly nodded in agreement, consenting to Su Xia using the item to make a deal with her.

After the two placed the items on their respective online marketplace platforms and the system evaluated them, they quickly completed the transaction.

The transparent crystal that Su Xia threw in at the last minute, even though it was thrown in at the very last moment when the time was right, was still counted as part of the traded items.

So, after looking at the iron box in front of her and then checking the crystals in her backpack, Li Shiyue sighed as she looked at the less than 50 gold coins left in her system interface.

"So, if that young lady hadn't thrown the crystal over at the last minute, then I would have been the one to earn the gold coins."
But now I've traded so much food, yet they're still deducting so many gold coins from my account;
In other words, this crystal must at least be a rare item.

At least, according to the system's assessment, this thing is extremely valuable in my world!

After thinking it over, Li Shiyue put the crystal issue aside.

Then, she looked at the seeds in the tin box. Looking at these dark, big and small, round and flat seeds, Li Shiyue was quite happy!

Li Shiyue dared not hope for exceptionally high-yielding grain varieties suited to the cold environment of Andong. She only wished that among these seeds there would be corn, sweet potato, potato, chili pepper, or cotton seeds!
At the very least, having more other types of vegetables would be good.

Over the years, even though Li Shiyue has become very accustomed to eating leeks, cabbage, and radishes, she still misses the food of the modern world!
Furthermore, if the new type of vegetables could yield slightly higher yields than the millet, wheat, beans, and other grains they currently grow, it would bring sufficient economic benefits!

If Li Shiyue is lucky, she might be able to grow these seeds and even save some.

So, within ten years, Li Shiyue might very well think about things she had never considered before!
Therefore, after looking at it, Li Shiyue placed the tin box in the backpack compartment with even more care than when she had placed the transparent crystal.

After withdrawing her consciousness from the system and returning to reality, Li Shiyue saw that Xiao Hong, who had already eaten her fill, was standing beside her, protecting her.

"Good little red!"

Come on, let's eat it secretly, but don't let them see!

Li Shiyue opened a pouch at her waist and took out some candy.

She crushed some of the larger candies in her hand with a little force, then held her hand out to the little red horse.

The sweetness of the candy made Xiao Hong roll the candy from Li Shiyue's palm into her mouth with a flick of her tongue.

After finishing the crunchy candy, Li Shiyue stroked the horse's head, admired the full moon in the sky for a while, and sorted out her thoughts before returning to the campfire to wake Chen Yong.

It was already past midnight when Li Shiyue wrapped himself in a cloak and lay down on a felt blanket to sleep. However, many people in the Turkic royal court were still awake.

"My wife, it's almost four in the morning."

The maid took a pair of scissors and trimmed the wick of the candle in front of Xie Mingyue, making the candlelight brighter.

Xie Mingyue paid no attention to the maid's words; she was looking down at the city defense map she had personally drawn.

This map is a defensive map of the Turkic royal court that Xie Mingyue personally drew during this period, based on her memory and her own observations.

Yes, everything Xie Mingyue did after following Li Shiyue to the Turkic court, including going to the market to do business, was actually to observe firsthand the garrison points and specific functions of the soldiers in various parts of the Turkic court.

She has been intelligent and has an exceptional memory since childhood; it would not be an exaggeration to say that she can remember everything she sees.

Otherwise, her reputation as a talented woman wouldn't have spread throughout Kyoto.

She would not allow rumors to circulate that her grandfather, the Duke of Yingguo, had agreed to the marriage proposal made by the Prince of Zhenbei for his son, Liu Shu, to be buried in the dust.

Some people in Kyoto even said, "Andong is such a harsh and cold place. How could it be a place for our noble ladies from Kyoto to marry?"
"The Old Man of the Moon in the heavens must have tied the wrong knot."
