Chapter 154 Finding a Bargain Red Lingzhi

When Su Nuannuan arrived, she saw this scene. Her eyes lit up when she saw the gardenia sapling.

These gardenia saplings looked a bit dehydrated, and their branches were somewhat bent and limp, but none of that mattered to Su Nuannuan.

She only needs to put these saplings into the space, and they will quickly come back to life.

So she went directly to Sun Tieniu and said.

"Uncle, how much are these four saplings?"

When someone finally came to inquire about the saplings on his stall, Sun Tieniu's face lit up with excitement. However, when he saw that the person was a little girl, his mood plummeted again.

However, Sun Tieniu still clung to a sliver of hope. He slowly revealed the price of the saplings.

"Five yuan a tree, four trees will cost you eighteen yuan."

Su Nuannuan gasped upon hearing Sun Tieniu's words.

This isn't just a high price, it's an astronomical price!

Are they trying to fleece her, or are they just joking with her?

Su Nuannuan asked again, somewhat uncertainly.

"Sir, I didn't hear you clearly just now, could you please say it again?"

Sun Tieniu glanced at Su Nuannuan indifferently, his voice devoid of any emotion, and repeated what he had just said.

"Five yuan a tree, four trees will cost you eighteen yuan."

Su Nuannuan finally realized she hadn't misheard. Moreover, judging from Sun Tieniu's expression, Su Nuannuan felt she couldn't possibly negotiate the price down.

Su Nuannuan could take out the eighteen yuan. However, she didn't want to be ripped off. Giving out so much money at once made her uncomfortable.

Before Su Nuannuan could react, the fishmonger next to Sun Tieniu spoke up.

"Girl, don't be fooled by him. A gardenia sapling only costs one yuan. He's just trying to rip you off."

Su Nuannuan knew this all too well. But she had finally found the gardenia saplings; how could she give up?

So Su Nuannuan squatted down and spoke.

"Sir, what you ordered is too expensive. Can you give me a discount?"

Sun Tieniu glanced at Su Nuannuan indifferently without answering, giving off an air of 'buy it or don't, I won't lower the price.'

Su Nuannuan was also helpless.

Seeing Sun Tieniu's stubborn look, Su Nuannuan had no choice but to leave.

However, Su Nuannuan didn't see any more gardenia saplings for a while afterward. She searched the entire street but couldn't find any clues about the saplings.

Having failed to find her, Su Nuannuan had no choice but to return to Sun Tieniu's stall.

Su Nuannuan sighed and looked at Sun Tieniu.

"Sir, can't you really lower the price a bit?"

Sun Tieniu shook his head.

Su Nuannuan sighed and said.

"Okay, I'll take all of these saplings."

When the fishmonger saw that Su Nuannuan really wanted to buy, her eyes widened like saucers.

"Girl, what are you buying these saplings for? You can't eat them or use them. You'd be better off buying some fish from me and making soup."

The aunt's words were all aimed at belittling Sun Tieniu's saplings and urging Su Nuannuan to buy her fish.

Just as the aunt was about to say something, Sun Tieniu, who was usually taciturn, looked at her.

Feeling uneasy under Sun Tieniu's gaze, the fishmonger woman lost all desire to continue persuading him. She muttered something under her breath and then stopped looking at Su Nuannuan and Sun Tieniu. Su Nuannuan handed Sun Tieniu eighteen yuan and prepared to leave with the gardenia saplings.

Before leaving, Sun Tieniu spoke.

"Wait a minute."

Su Nuannuan was startled and turned her head, looking miserable.

"What's wrong, sir?"

Having already been shocked by the exorbitant price of eighteen yuan, Su Nuannuan is now particularly worried that the old man might suddenly raise the price.

Sun Tieniu didn't say anything, but took out the contents of his small black bag and handed it to Su Nuannuan.

"These were dug up from the mountains, they're all yours."

Only then did Su Nuannuan clearly see what Sun Tieniu was holding—a small piece of red lingzhi. Red lingzhi is a fungus, non-toxic, and can invigorate qi, replenish the middle jiao, enhance intelligence, and nourish the heart. Moreover, red lingzhi is considered the finest among lingzhi.

The red Ganoderma lucidum in Sun Tieniu's hand was very small, and it looked like it had just grown recently.

Su Nuannuan's breathing became rapid. What incredible luck she had to encounter the Crimson Spirit Mushroom here!

To be honest, this small red Ganoderma lucidum isn't worth much; even if you tried to sell it, you wouldn't get five yuan. This is because it's newly grown and has absolutely no medicinal value.

However, things are different for Su Nuannuan. Su Nuannuan has a spiritual spring space, and as long as the Crimson Ganoderma hasn't completely lost its activity, she is confident she can revive it.

Moreover, this red Ganoderma lucidum is very well preserved, with moist soil around its roots to retain moisture. If someone with good skills finds it, this red Ganoderma lucidum can be replanted.

Su Nuannuan suppressed her pounding heart and looked at Sun Tieniu.

"Sir, are you really going to give it to me?"

Sun Tieniu nodded and said.

"Ah."

Hearing the old man agree, Su Nuannuan took the Red Lingzhi without hesitation.

However, before leaving, Su Nuannuan still left twenty yuan for the old man.

Although Su Nuannuan didn't know why Sun Tieniu bought the gardenia saplings at such a high price, she knew that Sun Tieniu must be in urgent need of money.

Su Nuannuan noticed that when she gave Sun Tieniu eighteen yuan, the gloom in his eyes dissipated somewhat.

After Su Nuannuan left, Sun Tieniu clutched the 38 yuan in his hand tightly, packed up his stall, and went home.

Watching Sun Tieniu's departing figure, the fishmonger pursed her lips and muttered a complaint.

"What incredible luck! I ran into a sucker. Why don't I have such good luck?"

After returning home, Su Nuannuan planted the gardenia saplings and red lingzhi in her space.

She planted the red lingzhi mushrooms and the ginseng she had planted earlier in one area. The gardenia saplings were planted in another area.

After planting them, Su Nuannuan watered the gardenia saplings and red lingzhi mushrooms with plenty of spiritual spring water. Because she was in the space, Su Nuannuan wasn't worried at all that too much spiritual spring water would cause their roots to rot.

This is because the soil in the space automatically absorbs excess spiritual spring water. Su Nuannuan poured out so much spiritual spring water because she was worried that the gardenia seedlings and red lingzhi mushrooms wouldn't survive.

After everything was settled, Su Nuannuan stopped paying attention to them.

The next day, after Su Nuannuan finished her class, Pang Pang took the initiative to walk with her. Along the way, he carried her bag and shielded her from the sun; the chubby boy's fair face was covered in sweat, making him look quite pitiful.

Su Nuannuan said with a hint of helplessness.

"Fatty, you don't need to do this."

Hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Pang Pangpang's previously listless spirits were revived, and he said.

"Of course I need to! Nuannuan, I should thank you. Senior Brother Chu has already agreed to let me join his experimental group."
