Wei Lihua thought that she would start by selling things like bok choy and the like, and later sell tomatoes and such.
However, some tender corn and the like would also be valuable here.
When the time came, she could definitely plant some, but she wasn’t sure if the empty land in the Space would be enough.
Even if it wasn’t enough, she didn’t plan to use up the space occupied by some medicinal herbs and such in the Space.
Actually, Wei Lihua was quite curious now, wondering if her Space could be upgraded.
If it could be upgraded, the Space would grow larger and larger, and by then she wouldn’t have to worry about not having enough land at all.
She’d better not think about those useless things for now and go buy seeds first. Otherwise, forget about upgrading or anything.
Even selling vegetables would be a dream, but she felt that the Space would definitely bring her great surprises.
She had a lot of confidence in the Space, but she just didn’t know who the previous owner of the Space was.
If the previous owner knew she had the Space, it could become a troublesome matter!
Maybe the previous owner of the Space was no longer around; otherwise, she wouldn’t have become the owner of the Space.
Wei Lihua walked while thinking about some far-fetched things, but her eyes weren’t idle either.
The things in the flower and bird market really dazzled her.
Not to mention all the flowers and plants, there were quite a few people here too.
Many people looked like they were wealthy—their clothes alone were probably worth all her possessions.
“Boss, I’d like to buy some vegetable seeds. Do you have them here?”
Wei Lihua arrived at a small seed shop. Although the store wasn’t very big,
if it could have a shop here, she believed the variety of seeds in this shop shouldn’t be too limited.
“Sure, what kind of vegetable seeds are you looking for?”
The shop owner was a man in his forties, and his smile made people feel very relaxed.
However, although the man in front of her was speaking with a smile, the warmth didn’t reach his eyes.
The man hadn’t expected that, on a whim, he’d see such a young girl coming to his shop to buy things.
After hearing his question, Wei Lihua replied with a smile.
“I want some bok choy, napa cabbage, baby bok choy, spinach, water spinach, some cilantro seeds, and scallion seeds. For the rest, I’d like some tomato, cucumber, long bean, chili pepper, and luffa seeds.”
Wei Lihua listed the names of some vegetable seeds she knew. Actually, these were vegetables she often ate.
Moreover, these vegetable seeds weren’t very expensive. She believed two hundred yuan at most would be enough to get them all.
“Alright, most of the seeds you mentioned are the kind that cost two yuan per bag. Do you want them?”
Although the shop owner didn’t know why a young girl like Wei Lihua wanted so many vegetable seeds, business had come to his door.
He would always take good care of it. Besides, this small shop was mainly for passing the time.
The owner didn’t expect to make much money from this shop.
“Sure. For the rest, I’d like some less common vegetable seeds. Do you have them here?”
Wei Lihua also knew that those seeds probably weren’t very expensive. Seeing the owner’s quoted prices, she felt he likely wasn’t overcharging her.
“Yes, we basically have all the vegetables available on the market!”
As long as the seeds weren’t the kind you couldn’t find in stores, he had them here.
“Then I’d like some bell peppers, sweet corn, as well as melon, watermelon, and pumpkin seeds!”
Wei Lihua actually didn’t know much about vegetable seeds. As for fruits, she only knew the ones she often ate.
You see, her family’s financial situation wasn’t very good, and she didn’t have much money to buy expensive fruits or anything like that.
“The seeds you mentioned aren’t too valuable, and they’re not very expensive either. Since you’re buying so many varieties, I won’t charge you too much. Same as those others—two yuan per bag.”
The shopkeeper could tell from Wei Lihua’s clothing that she probably wasn’t well-off.
So he didn’t ask for too much money. Besides, the seeds she wanted weren’t anything rare.
“Thank you, boss. Could I also get some rose seeds?”
Actually, Wei Lihua had always loved roses, but she couldn’t afford to buy them. Zhao Yi had never bought her a single rose back then.
Now that she had the chance, she might as well take this opportunity to buy some and grow them herself.
Even though they weren’t bought by someone else, she could still indulge herself. After all, she now had the ability to grow them herself, right?
Later, she could completely do as shown on TV—soak in a petal bath whenever she had free time.
“Sure, if it’s just ordinary roses, they’re not very expensive either. Ten yuan for a small packet will do.”
Seeing the clarity in Wei Lihua’s eyes, the shopkeeper felt she was a good girl.
He liked girls like Wei Lihua. Nowadays, most girls seemed rather restless.
This young lady before him was pleasing to his eyes. Besides, he wasn’t planning to make money from this small shop—his real moneymakers weren’t here.
“Thank you, uncle!”
Although Wei Lihua didn’t know why the shopkeeper gave her such a low price, she understood that since she was getting it cheap, she was the one benefiting.
She decided that when she had time, she’d bring some vegetables over to this uncle when she sold her produce, to repay this kindness.
She didn’t like owing favors to others, even though this shopkeeper was just a stranger she’d met only once.
But because of this kindness, she couldn’t pretend to know nothing about it.
Actually, she knew that in this city, not only were uncommon vegetable seeds expensive, even common vegetable seeds weren’t very cheap.
“Don’t mention it. I like girls like you. If you have the chance, you can always come to uncle’s shop to buy seeds.”
Although he didn’t know why Wei Lihua was buying so many seeds, some people in the suburbs also grew vegetables.
And what others bought was their own business. Even if he was curious, he wouldn’t ask too much.
“Well then, uncle, when my family’s vegetables are grown, I’ll bring some over for you. My family grows vegetables!”
Even if Wei Lihua didn’t know whether the shopkeeper might overthink it, she planned to bring him vegetables in the future.
It was better to find an excuse for herself now. Besides, this wasn’t Wei Lihua overthinking things.
You see, she was buying quite a lot of seeds. If it wasn’t for her own family’s planting, there would be no need to buy so many.
“Alright!”
Upon hearing Wei Lihua’s words, the shop owner happily replied.
He hadn’t expected that such a small gesture would be remembered by this girl.
The more he saw this, the more he liked Wei Lihua.
“Perfect timing—I’ll also get to taste what vegetables grown from our seeds are like!”
“Alright, I’ll bring them over in a while!”
Wei Lihua planned to come back when she was about to leave, so even if the shop owner found out her vegetables were delicious, he wouldn’t be able to find her.
Although this meant that if the shop owner wanted to buy her vegetables in the future, he wouldn’t know where to get them.
But Wei Lihua didn’t want to take the risk. After all, she had grown those vegetables in her Space.
She didn’t have any land to grow vegetables outside. If the shop owner really tried to inquire about her, as long as she wasn’t in this city anymore,
he wouldn’t be able to find out where she was, and her home was far from here anyway.
She believed that even if she sold vegetables again in the future, she probably wouldn’t sell them here.
“Alright, I’ll be waiting to taste your vegetable-growing skills then.”
In truth, the shop owner hadn’t given much thought to how Wei Lihua’s vegetables would turn out. Nowadays, vegetables are all pretty much the same.
Even the so-called organic vegetables in supermarkets don’t taste that great.
These days, who really grows truly organic vegetables anymore?
“Well, I’ll keep you in mind, Uncle.”
Whether the shop owner remembered it or not, she certainly would.
“Just give me fifty, and we’re good!”
The shop owner didn’t ask for more from Wei Lihua, and besides, he didn’t care much for such a small amount.
“Okay.”
Wei Lihua handed the money to the shop owner, took the seeds, and left the store.
As she left the small shop, she casually slipped the seeds into her handbag.
But that was just a diversion—on the surface, she put them in her handbag.
In reality, she directly placed the seeds into her Space, and her wallet went in there too.
As for her phone, she didn’t dare put it inside.
After all, there was no signal in the Space. If she put her phone in there and someone tried to call her, what would she do?
She didn’t want to take that risk. Nowadays, even in remote mountains and forests, there’s usually some signal.
If her phone suddenly lost signal, wouldn’t that be a clear sign that something was off?
Now that she had bought the vegetable seeds, she still didn’t have the tools for planting.
Inside her Space, aside from some medicinal herbs, there was only a pond of lotus flowers.
There weren’t any tools inside, not even common items.
Since this was a flower and bird market, she figured there would probably be some basic tools available.
But even if there were tools, she wouldn’t buy many—at most, a small hoe.
It would come in handy for digging holes and weeding.
As for other things, she didn’t plan to buy them, mainly because she didn’t have much money.
After buying what she needed, she hadn’t spent much of her money.
Thanks to her frugality, she only spent two hundred.
Out of the five thousand, she still had over four thousand left, and there wasn’t much else she needed to spend on.
Looking at all the flowers and plants here, she couldn’t help but feel envious, especially the large blooming camellias.
Although her family didn’t have camellias, she had seen plenty of them online.
Back when “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils” was popular, she had spent a lot of time looking up information.
At that time, she really liked the camellias in the TV series, but back then, buying flowers was out of the question.
Even supporting herself was a bit of a struggle. Now that she had the chance, she wanted to buy one to plant in her Space.
“Boss, how much for this camellia?”
Looking at the red camellia in front of her, Wei Lihua found it hard to walk away.
Besides, since it was set up by the roadside, it probably wasn’t a very expensive variety.
She just wanted it for the thrill, not for any other reason.
Buying one that wasn’t too pricey would be enough—anything valuable was beyond her means.
“Two thousand. If you want it, take it!”
Although Wei Lihua knew camellias weren’t cheap, she hadn’t expected it to cost half her savings.
“Boss, that’s too expensive. Can you lower the price a bit?”
If it couldn’t be cheaper, no matter how much she liked it, she wouldn’t buy it.
After all, she had set aside half her savings for emergencies.
Here, apart from Zhao Yi, she didn’t have any other friends.
Now that she and Zhao Yi had broken up, if she didn’t keep some emergency money, she’d be in real trouble if something happened.
“If you really like it, the lowest I can go is fifteen hundred!”
Seeing that Wei Lihua wasn’t well-off, the boss directly quoted his bottom price.
