Chapter 18 Elf Egg
Pingdie Town is a peaceful and tranquil town without the hustle and bustle of a big city.
It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and Luo Mu has to buy everything he needs before six o'clock.
There is no concept of overtime in this town. The shops and stalls are closed on time.
The overall pace of Pingdie Town is slow, and the saying of working at sunrise and resting at sunset is fully implemented.
As a small town, Pingdie Town does not have any large supermarkets, only a farmer's market with a good flow of people.
During the days when Luo Mu lived in the hotel in Pingdie Town, he found out what is in this farmer's market.
In addition to the roadside vendors who set up stalls outside to sell crops grown on their own one-third acre of land, the space inside is for businessmen or individuals who need to purchase things in large quantities.
In short, the inside is a wholesale market, and basically all the items that are in demand can be bought here at wholesale prices.
Walking past the noisy vendors' stalls, Luo Mu did not stop because of their shouting, because he knew that most of these people could be said to be of low quality in the entire farmers' market, and it was common to see things like ghost scales or inferior goods as good ones.
When Luo Mu first settled in Pingdie Town, he came here to buy apples. Perhaps because he was a stranger, he not only encountered the ghost scale, but also had some of his apples replaced by the vendors when he was not paying attention. Some of those apples were overripe and even began to rot.
Perhaps because he never stayed in one place for too long when traveling, he had never encountered these things in the past year. He always held the idea that there should be no profiteers in the world of Pokémon. Luo Mu suffered a beating from society for the first time in this farmers' market.
There are bad people, and naturally there are good people.
At that time, Luo Mu continued to move forward into the farmers' market with apples. He was reminded by a kind old lady in a store near the vendors' stalls, and then he realized that he had been cheated.
Without giving the vendor a chance to get away, Luo Mu immediately grabbed the vendor and planned to send him to the Pingdie Town Police Station. Even the administrator of the farmers' market could not mediate.
After that, Luo Mu became famous overnight, and the profiteers in the farmers' market avoided him.
However, it seemed that after a month, these people had forgotten his existence, otherwise they would not have tried to shout at him.
Luo Mu ignored them and went straight to the location of the store in his memory.
[Wholesale Seeds]
It is very clear at a glance, a simple name without any fancy words.
The store is not big, about 30 square meters, and most of the positions are filled with different seeds in different categories.
At the door of the store, there is a reclining chair that looks old, and on it lies a kind old lady with gray hair and good-looking facial features.
The old lady closed her eyes, her chest rose and fell slowly, and she looked like she was in a state of light sleep.
Although she was in a light sleep, the old lady was very sensitive to the outside world. Before Luo Mu approached, she opened her eyes and looked at the person.
Seeing that the old lady had woken up, Luo Mu smiled and waved slightly, saying hello: "Grandma Juzi, long time no see?"
"This voice, you are..." Juzi slowly took out her reading glasses from her bosom and put them on, looking at Luo Mu carefully, the memory slowly emerged, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face, "It's Xiaomu, long time no see, how is your farm going?"
Luo Mu responded: "The area has been planned, and I am planning to come to you to buy some seeds."
"That's good, that's good!" Juzi nodded slightly, as if happy for Luo Mu, and the smile on her face became more intense.
With Luo Mu's help, Ju Zi slowly stood up, then took Luo Mu into the store and asked, "Have you ever thought about what crops to plant? Tell me so that I can refer to it. I have been selling seeds for so many years, so I still have some experience."
Luo Mu looked around and found that there were quite a few types of seeds. He picked out a few names that he had already thought of in his mind: "Potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, cabbages, cucumbers."
"I want a small bag of these seeds. I plan to try planting them. I will buy them in large quantities after there are no problems."
Ju Zi nodded as he listened. It seems that Luo Mu did a good job. These crops are suitable for planting in this season, and the growth cycle is not too long. As long as they can grow crops of normal quality, they will definitely make money.
After all, Luo Mu has bought such a large piece of wasteland, it is indeed necessary to pilot planting in advance to avoid the probability of losing money.
Ju Zi very accurately picked out the types that Luo Mu needed from the dazzling array of seeds, put them into small bags, sealed them, and also put on labels intimately.
"Potato seeds are 80 per bag, cucumber seeds are 140 per bag. Take a look, is there any problem?" Juzi read the price list posted on the wall one by one.
Luo Mu nodded slightly. This price is even cheaper than the price Peter quoted to him, so there is no problem.
The seeds of these five crops only cost 600 Alliance coins in total, which is a bargain compared to the cost of building a farm.
Luo Mu paid directly, then took the bags of seeds from Ju Zi, and looked at the seeds with curiosity. He had only seen them when they grew up, but it was the first time he saw the seeds.
He observed the potatoes, cucumbers, and tomatoes one by one until the sixth bag of seeds came out. When he saw the label on it, Luo Mu was suddenly stunned.
Strawberry seeds?
Luo Mu looked at Ju Zi with a puzzled look and said, "Grandma Ju Zi, did you give me an extra bag of seeds?"
Ju Zi saw that Luo Mu had discovered it, and smiled and said, "You young people are still sharp-eyed. This bag of strawberry seeds is not worth much money. Just think of it as a small gift from me to celebrate the official operation of your farm."
"How can this be good."
Luo Mu wanted to return it to Ju Zi. If he took over this bag of strawberry seeds, Ju Zi would definitely not make a penny from this order, and might even lose money.
"Just take it." Juzi waved her hand, unwilling to take the seeds handed over by Luo Mu. While being polite, Juzi saw the Poké Ball hanging on Luo Mu's waist, and suddenly remembered something, her eyes slightly lit up: "Otherwise, how about you do me a favor and exchange it for this bag of strawberry seeds?"
Juzi saw Luo Mu stopped moving, and immediately walked to a cabinet in the deepest part of the store, took out the key to open the small lock, and carefully took out an oval object from it.
Juzi said: "I remember you are a trainer, if you can, can you try to take care of this Pokémon egg?"
As she said, the Pokémon egg in Juzi's hand slowly came from the dark to the place where the light shone with her footsteps, revealing its true appearance.
It was an unknown Pokémon egg with a red background and gray-black stripes.
At the same time, in the first district of the South, the Lighthouse Research Institute.
After waving goodbye to Dragonite, Papa rushed back home with excitement, saw a dark room and a note on the table, and instantly understood something.
Piper's arms slowly dropped, and the corners of his eyes began to turn red.
After a while, Piper lowered his head and murmured in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Liar."
