Chapter 230 She Found Another Way to Make Money
"Yes, the flesh is white. Not only is it white, but it also has lots of tiny black particles. Those particles aren't very big, though! I heard from the vendors that people who eat it don't need to deliberately pick them out, as the black seeds are safe to eat."
Someone started to jeer, “After listening to you talk so much, do you know what it tastes like?”
After hearing this person's question, the other onlookers immediately looked at the person who had just spoken with a gossipy look on their faces.
But this time the person who answered everyone was no longer the one who had just described the auspicious fruit.
Instead, another person who was traveling with him said with a joking smile, "He would like to try it, but his wallet is like a deflated ball. I'm afraid he can't afford it."
After hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but ask, "It's just a piece of fruit, how could it be more expensive than grain and meat?"
Seeing their nonchalant expressions, Liu Laogen was struck by a wave of cold water. "Hey, you're right! It's actually more expensive than meat! When I heard the merchant introduce it, it was like listening to a legendary story. He spent a fortune transporting this fruit from the south over mountains and rivers. That price is definitely not something that ordinary people like us can afford."
The person who had just ripped him off echoed him, "He's right. Not only is the appearance of that thing bizarre, unlike anything we've ever seen before, but even the price—tsk tsk tsk... is staggeringly high! It's actually one ounce of silver each."
After hearing what they said, everyone in the yard felt like they had discovered a new world, and they all exclaimed that there were such new and interesting things out there.
Liu Xiaoxiao listened while thinking about her own thoughts.
[Lucky Fruit, how come I've never heard of it! ]
[But after hearing his description, I feel like this thing is so similar to the dragon fruit I ate in my previous life!]
If that's really a dragon fruit, then I can probably grow it too! It's only one ounce of silver each! If I could grow one in my space, I'd be rich!
The more I think about her, the happier I am.
Suddenly, she calmed down again. "No, I can't be too happy yet. First, I have to confirm whether that thing is the dragon fruit I know. Second, I have to find a way to get one. Only then can I get the seeds from it!"
"Um"
Someone who felt that she had found a way to make a fortune had no idea that someone was standing next to her, watching her for quite a while.
Of course, the person who looked at her was none other than Huang Pandi, who came out to ask her if she wanted to cook other seafood.
"Xiaoxiao, you're smiling and worried at the same time. What are you doing?"
Seeing that the person in front of her was a family member, Liu Xiaoxiao had no reservations and answered directly, "Oh, it's my second aunt! I was just thinking about the fruit they just mentioned. Since it's so valuable, if we grow it too, wouldn't our family be close to getting rich?"
Huang Pandi looked at her like she was stupid and said, "Xiaoxiao! Didn't you listen carefully to what he said just now? He specifically said that the fruit was brought here by merchants from the south and can't be grown here."
Liu Xiaoxiao disagreed, "Second Aunt, how do we know we can't grow it if we haven't tried? Besides, I always feel that I might have seen that fruit before, so why not give it a try!"
Huang Pandi shook her head and said, "Don't mess around, kid. Let's just focus on farming!" Then she turned and left.
However, Liu Xiaoxiao did not give up. She decided to find out whether the fruit was a dragon fruit. If it was, she would definitely find a way to buy one.
Otherwise, where would she get the seeds and how could she plant them?
