Xianyu asked

Chapter 122 Seed
After getting out of the guest room, Huaying went down to the first floor of the inn, and got some news from the boy yesterday.

After a little inquiry, I found out where the street vendors in this city gathered.

She was overjoyed, and rushed to the direction pointed by the boy, like a child after school, excitedly ran to a small alley near the main street.

It is said to be a small alley, but compared to the main road of Xiancheng, the alley is so wide that it can accommodate several carriages at the same time.

Huaying found this place and burrowed into the alley.

She is gearing up, and just about to make a big splash, she plans to monopolize the local ling melon market, so as to make a fortune and make a lot of money.Unexpectedly, after seeing the situation in the alley, her silly smiling face instantly collapsed.

"This"

Looking around, from the end of the alley to the end of the alley, there are almost a mile of street stalls in the market, and there are vendors selling all kinds of fruits and vegetables everywhere. Their stalls display all kinds of spirit melons and spirit fruits, and there are many varieties. There were so many that Huaying was dumbfounded.

"This"

Huaying was so shocked that she was speechless for a while, she didn't say anything for a long time, she just stood at the entrance of the alley blankly, like a piece of wood struck by lightning.

"Woooooo."

After being dazed for a long time, she looked at the vendors selling spirit melons and spirit fruits, and felt like crying without tears.

How can I sell melons!The competition is too fierce!
Without comparison, Huaying really doesn't know how difficult it is to do business.In the past, there were few people competing with her in Dongshanfang City, so the ling melon business was booming, but now in a big city, she encountered vendors selling ling melons all over the street, and she didn't know where to start.

The spirit melons they sell are big, round, juicy in appearance, and there are many varieties, how can they compete with others?
Feeling a little depressed, Huaying cheered up, walked into the market, and asked a few melon stalls at random.

"Boss, how did you sell this melon!"

"It's cheap, no, it's expensive."

"What kind of melon is this, is it delicious?"

"Boss, what kind of melon is this, what kind of melon is this, what kind of melon is this, and this... this and that"

"Is this melon guaranteed to be ripe? Well, I'll just ask, I can't afford it"

After visiting more than a dozen melon stalls one after another, and after a lot of trouble, Huaying can be considered to have a clear understanding of the market for spirit melons in the local market.

Seeing that she only knew how to ask this and that, many traders drove her away angrily. Although she was not thin-skinned, she couldn't bear the disdain in the words of those bosses.

Soon, the visit was over and she slipped to a corner. Huaying curled her lips and said speechlessly, "It's just a question, why should I be so angry?"

These melon stall owners are so unreasonable!
Depression belongs to depression, but fortunately there is still something to be gained.

After some investigation just now, Huaying learned that the prices of spirit melons in this market are not very high, and the prices are very affordable. For example, the most common cantaloupe, a low-grade spirit stone can be bought for nearly [-] catties.

This price is really ridiculously cheap.

The reason why there is such a low price is that some local Lingzhi families have contracted many spiritual fields outside Gu Yuexian City, specializing in the cultivation of this kind of spirit melon and spirit fruit with fast growth and short maturity period.

The vendors in these market stalls are not capable of producing melons themselves. She, most of them buy spirit melons in large quantities from the Lingzhi family and set up retail stalls in this market, earning only a difference in price.

Those of the Lingzhi family outside the city have a variety of spirit melons of tens to hundreds of acres. With the cost under control, the price of spirit melons can naturally be kept to a minimum.

This is also the reason why there are so many spirit melon vendors in the Ancient Moon Immortal City, and the monks in the city have also developed the habit of eating melons and fruits every day.

Compared with its low price, when Huaying was in Dongshanfang City in the past, the price of selling spirit melons was usually [-] catties per spirit stone, and the best price was only [-] catties.

If it is still sold at the previous price, it is hard to say whether anyone will buy it, even if the quality of her spirit melons is much higher than those of these melon vendors, but after all, not everyone knows the goods.

But if she followed the trend and set up a stall at the price of [-] catties for a piece of Lingshi, she would not have lost her profit, but the profit would not be very high. Considering the output of only half an acre of land in the jade pendant space, even if all of them Planting spirit melons, the spirit stones obtained from selling are not enough to keep up with her growing demand for spirit stones.

In the future, it will be a huge expense to take the elixir for practice every day without interruption.

Not to mention that Huaying still has plans to start alchemy by herself, and the source of spirit grass that needs to be consumed in the initial training will be a huge demand for spirit stones.

"Selling melons doesn't seem to work, so I have to think of other ways." After some mental determination, Huaying decided to give up growing spirit melons.

Half an acre of spiritual land is really not enough, she still needs to set aside some places to grow spiritual grass and caterpillar grass, and there is no extra land for spirit melons.If the spirit melons cannot be sold at a high price here, then there is no need to continue planting them.

"Ugh."

Arrive in high spirits, and return in defeat.

Huaying sighed endlessly, so she had to go to the market to see if there were other ways to make money.

This Ancient Moon Immortal City is so big, there should be many strange things.

After that, she wandered around the market for a long time, looking for many stalls, and finally came to the stall of a young monk.

Huaying pointed to the things on the youth booth and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what kind of seeds are you selling here?"

"They are all the seeds of spirit melon and spirit fruit, oh yes, there are dozens of seeds of astral grass, do you want it?" The young monk glanced at the visitor and said casually.

Huaying was startled when she heard the words, her eyes widened, and she immediately confirmed with the other party: "Star Ning Grass seeds? Do you have Star Ning Grass seeds here?"

"Yes, there are dozens of pills. Yesterday my brother went to the mountains to gather herbs and brought them back. If you want to pack them and buy them, it will be cheaper for you."

The young monk was just mentioning it casually, but he didn't expect that Huaying would really buy the spirit grass seeds, so he casually took out a small gray cloth bag from the side and threw it in front of Huaying.

She opened the cloth bag and found dozens of grass seeds the size of sesame seeds inside.

"Is that all there is? Is there more?" Huaying was secretly delighted, but on the surface she asked calmly, pretending to be calm.

"There are so many of them. It's hard to find just a few dozen grains. It's not like you don't know, fellow daoist, that wild spirit grass rarely bears seeds. If someone sells it, you are lucky enough to meet me today, and you might be bought by someone else later."

As he said that, the young monk suddenly glanced at Huaying, seeing that she only had the fourth level of Qi training, and she didn't look very rich, so he couldn't help but began to doubt her purpose.

"Fellow Daoist, are you really planning to buy this spirit grass seed? We casual cultivators can't afford a spirit field, so how can we grow spirit grass? Even ordinary spirit planting families can only grow ordinary spirit melons and spirit fruits, that's all. This kind of spiritual grass can only be planted by those monk families with a deep foundation, and most of the wild spiritual grass seeds on the market are only bought by them."
