Exiled to Lingnan, the Crown Prince's wife raises children, cultivates the land, and leads the

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense."

Leakey's face turned red as he said, "Our breeds are different."

His broken Daxia language was particularly difficult to speak, but he tried his best to explain, "The sorghum we grow here is suitable for planting in Lingnan. You can buy some and try it!"

This was Liki's first time coming to the Great Xia Kingdom with a caravan, but unfortunately, it seemed that no one liked the seeds he brought.

"There's only so much land. If we plant your sorghum and it goes to waste, and it doesn't taste good, wouldn't that be a waste of land?"

Aunt Fu'an retorted directly. She looked at Cheng Qiqi, smiling like a flower, and said, "Madam Cheng, the grain seeds in the north of the city are quite good."

"Our sorghum is delicious, and we won't waste any land."

Liki looked at Cheng Qiqi anxiously and said, "If you don't want to plant sorghum, you can plant peanuts, and wheat too, we have those as well."

Peanuts, corn?

Cheng Qiqi's interest was instantly piqued when she saw these two things. The name sounded like peanuts, and the corn was just like that.

Corn is also a high-yield crop.

"Hey, what's that?"

Cheng Qiqi asked them one by one, and when she saw the persimmon, her eyes lit up. She asked, "What do persimmons taste like? Are they big?"

Seeing that she hadn't been taken away by the old woman, but instead began to seriously inquire about the various grain seeds he had brought, Liki explained them very carefully.

Liki said, "If the persimmons are grown well, they can be as big as a fist. If the harvest is a little poor, they'll be a little smaller. They taste sweet and sour, and the fruit is red—very pretty!"

Liki worked hard to promote his products. He wanted to make money, lots and lots of money. He had heard that every time a caravan came to the Great Xia Kingdom, it could bring back a lot of grain, sugar, and all sorts of novel things.

Leakey then brought all his seeds with him.

Compared to others who bring shiploads of goods, Liji's meager amount of seeds seems incredibly pitiful.

Liki has been setting up his shop for two days and has received many inquiries, but most people, like Sister Fu'an, ask and then leave. Liki is not discouraged, though, because these seeds grow very well in their country of Daji!

tomato.

Cheng Qiqi was almost certain that "fan shi" was the same as "shi xi". She looked at the young man's earnest introduction and had a good impression of him. The young man did not stop introducing the product just because she did not say whether she wanted to buy it or not.

"Beautiful lady, why don't you buy some and try planting some?"

Niche has already started its praise mode.

"Hey kid, talk to my sister-in-law properly."

Jin Yanzhi jumped out from the side and glared at Liki. This brat, and he calls himself a beautiful lady?

Is it something he can see?

Is it really okay for him to shout like that?

"Sister-in-law, you want to buy these persimmons? How about I clear a few plots of wasteland and try planting them?"

Jin Yanzhi smiled at Cheng Qiqi and said, "Maybe An'an will like these sweet and sour persimmons!"

Your sister-in-law has been asking you questions for so long, she must like it, right?

"It's delicious, this is really delicious."

Upon seeing this, Liki didn't care about the glare he had just received from Jin Yanzhi. The seeds he brought were time-limited. If he couldn't sell them, they wouldn't be worth a penny in a few days!

He worked hard on the boat, but didn't earn much money. If he couldn't sell the seeds he brought for even a penny, how would he support his sister?

"How much land can these seeds plant? And how exactly are they planted?"

Cheng Qiqi didn't say whether she would buy it or not, but instead asked other questions.

For a moment, Leakey's eyes dimmed, but upon hearing her subsequent questions, he rallied and answered, thinking that since this lady was willing to ask, perhaps she would be willing to buy?

Liki explained in detail the planting methods and timing for sorghum, as well as the planting methods for peanuts, wheat, and tomatoes.

Cheng Qiqi listened attentively. She believed that Li Ji had planted these seeds himself; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to explain it so clearly. Cheng Qiqi said, "I'll buy them all!"

"what?"

Niki was all prepared, so she didn't buy anything. There was someone like that yesterday who listened to his introduction until his mouth was dry, and then mocked him for being delusional!

It's said that this grain is so easy to grow that it has already been planted in Lingnan (southern China) a long time ago.

So, Liki talked until his saliva dried up, and he was even teased.

Angry? Feeling upset?

That's for sure, but Liki thought that since he had finally come to the Great Xia Kingdom, he would sell as many of these seeds as he could!

If he sells it for ten or a hundred coins, he can use the money to pay for his sister's medical treatment.

With a few hundred or even a thousand coins, he could buy his sister a pretty dress!

"Madam, you mean you want them all?"

Liki stared wide-eyed at Cheng Qiqi, resisting the urge to clean his ears; he felt like he was hallucinating.

"Yes, I want them all."

Cheng Qiqi repeated the sentence.

After hearing this, Aunt Fu'an earnestly advised, "Madam Cheng, you're going to waste your money. It's not even certain whether these seeds will survive."

"Sister Fu'an, I think what he said is very good. I'll buy some and try planting it."

Cheng Qiqi smiled as she looked at Aunt Fu'an. She understood her good intentions, but she did indeed want to buy seeds.

"..."

Seeing her determined look, Aunt Fu'an moved her lips but ultimately said nothing. Fine, let Madam Cheng buy whatever she wants.

Fu'an looked at Jin Yanzhi beside her. Was this Cheng Niangzi's brother-in-law?

We should try to persuade them right away.

"If we buy all the seeds, can we get a discount?" Jin Yanzhi squatted down and started bargaining with Liji.

Aunt Fu'an: "..."

Well, she was worrying for nothing.

Aunt Fu'an said goodbye and left, afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would want to curse!

This family has no idea how difficult farming is!

"Thank you, Madam. You are such a kind person."

"If you don't know how to plant it, Madam, you can come to me anytime. I'll be right here."

Liki bowed to Cheng Qiqi again and again, and when he took the silver, tears almost fell from his eyes!

These two taels of silver are his sister's life!

Jin Yanzhi turned around and couldn't help but say, "Is it really necessary? All they did was buy all his grain seeds!"

"Perhaps these grain seeds are a lifeline?"

Cheng Qiqi glanced at Li Ji, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and realized that he was probably already shouldering the responsibility of supporting a family.

The group returned laden with their purchases. When Zhuang Lizheng and Leng Yu learned that Cheng Qiqi had bought so many grain seeds, Zhuang Lizheng said tactfully, "Madam Cheng, we've never bought grain seeds from overseas merchants before. Their Daji Kingdom is different from ours; perhaps..."

It won't grow.

"Lord Zhuang, I'll buy it and try it out."

Cheng Qiqi smiled.

Zhuang Li was looking at her several bags of seeds, and his lips twitched. "Who wants to buy them to try? They bought them all?"

"Perfect timing. We've finished planting the grains and sugarcane. Since it's still early, let's clear some more land and plant these."

Looking at the half-bag of seeds, Marquis Zhongyong felt a little uneasy. When would he ever finish planting them all?

"Lord Zhuang, is there anything in the village that you'd like to plant?" Cheng Qiqi asked.
