When Lin Yuan arrived at the entrance of Tongxi Street, he asked Blackie to stop.
When he landed on the ground with a flip, he discovered that there was a row of peddlers selling plum branches in flower boxes at the entrance of Tong Xi Street.
Plum branches could be used to make honey, sweet soup, flower cakes, and even spices.
They were considered a very economical species among floral feys.
However, most of the plum feys only bloomed in winter, and the plum flowers would wither in a few days when the weather turned warm.
The plum branches could only be sold for seven or eight days.
Therefore, the plum branches were being sold at an extremely cheap price, and all the hawkers were offering unimaginable discounts.
In the past, the weather in the Xia Region was hot all year round, and there were no plum branches to buy.
Otherwise, even if Lin Yuan had to buy these plum branches when he was at his poorest, he wouldn't feel the slightest heartache.
At that moment, Lin Yuan heard a boorish voice roaring.
"Kid, if you continue to be like this, it won't be as simple as a scolding!
"We're all selling plum branches here. We've agreed on a price of fifteen federal coins per branch."
Everyone has bundles of plum branches that they haven't sold. Why are you lowering the price to 14 Federation dollars per branch? "
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Yuan turned around and saw a tall and skinny man scolding a 12 or 13-year-old youth with an extremely dissatisfied tone.
If the youth didn't have his head lowered and didn't say a word, the tall and skinny man would have given him a slap.
Unlike the tall and skinny man's angry roar, the youth just lowered his head and pulled at a corner of his patched clothes while looking at the ground.
He was trying hard not to cry.
Upon seeing this scene, Lin Yuan frowned tightly.
Six or seven years ago, when he was the same age as this youth, he had also sold Usneas by the roadside.
At that time, in order to raise money to treat Chu Ci's high fever, he had changed the price of one Usnea for five Federation dollars to three for ten.
When he had just changed the price, he had immediately been educated by the other hawkers.
It was exactly the same as the current youth.
It couldn't be said that the tall and skinny man was completely wrong.
Many of the peddlers sold plum branches at the same time. They earned their hard-earned money to feed their families.
The youth's actions were equivalent to cutting off other people's source of income.
A place where many hawkers gathered to sell a single spiritual ingredient would usually have their own rules.
In order to maintain order, you need to ensure that everyone sells the feys at the same price.
As for whether or not it could be sold, it all depended on one's own ability.
Fifteen federal coins per plum branch was already very cheap.
Under such circumstances, the young man still continued to lower the price. Clearly, he had a reason for wanting money.
It could be said that for a youth of his age to come out and sell plum branches, he was already at his wits' end.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan walked forward and looked at the helpless youth who had his head lowered and was tugging at the corner of his clothes. He gently squatted down.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to reach out and rub the young man's hair …
He found that the youth's eyes were already filled with a bean-sized teardrop that could fall at any time.
Lin Yuan hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to the youth.
"A plum branch is fifteen federal coins each, right? I want some more plum branches. "
When the young man saw that someone had suddenly comforted him and handed him a tissue, he wanted to reach out to take it.
But when he saw the gold-plated print on the pure white paper towel, the young man quickly retracted his hand.
This kind of gold-plated paper towel was made of real gold, and it was obvious that it was extremely expensive.
When the young man looked at the paper towel, he felt that even if he sold all the plum branches in his flower basket, he wouldn't be able to afford this gold-plated paper towel.
Upon seeing the young man's expression, Lin Yuan immediately picked up the paper towel and gently wiped the corner of the young man's eyes.
The young man seemed to have never felt kindness from a stranger before.
When a stranger suddenly treated him so well, he got nervous instead.
He lifted his head and blinked his big, watery eyes while looking at Lin Yuan timidly.
"Big Brother, thank you!
"Big Brother, how many plum branches do you want?
"Before I came out, my big brother had soaked them in ice water. They are all very fresh, and they can be kept for at least two days at home."
When Lin Yuan heard the young man's timid promotion, he lowered his head and looked at the plum branches in the young man's flower basket.
He noticed that the plum branches in the flower basket were very beautiful and stiff. Occasionally, there would be a few plum petals with water droplets.
In order to achieve such a state, the plum branches would need to be soaked in ice water for at least three hours.
At that moment, Lin Yuan heard a rough and warm voice beside his ear.
"Young Master, I also have plum branches here. Do you want to …"
Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan raised his head and looked at the tall and thin man in front of him.
"Alright, I will take all of your plum branches. I can go back to make some plum blossom pancakes and plum blossom honey."
The rough man's behavior might have made Lin Yuan frown, but under such circumstances, the rough man's behavior could be considered as good intentions.
Otherwise, the rough man wouldn't have needed to say so much to the young man. He would just have to chase the young man out according to the rules of this area.
In that case, the young man wouldn't be able to set up a stall here because he had broken the rules. It would more or less reduce the tall and thin man's competition.
If the tall and thin man did that, the young man was destined to not earn a single cent today.
During this season, as long as there was a day's delay, it was unknown how many plum branches would wither and wither.
When the young man heard Lin Yuan's words, his face immediately revealed a joyful expression.
However, he recalled that he had close to 300 plum branches in this flower basket.
It doesn't cost so much to make flower cakes and plum blossom honey. The teenager said timidly.
"Big brother, if you're only making plum blossom honey, you shouldn't need so many plum branches."
"If Big Brother lives nearby, you can give me an address."
"Every morning, I can cut fresh plum branches and send them to Big Brother.
Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan rubbed the youth's hair and stood up.
"Big Brother, there are many people at home. These plum branches won't be wasted."
After speaking, Lin Yuan gave the youth an address.
The address was the Fey Observer Guild, which wasn't far from here.
After handing over the address to the youth, Lin Yuan immediately said, "That's right.
"If there are more plum branches in the next few days, as long as you can carry them, send five hundred to this address before nine o 'clock every morning."
"When the time comes, an auntie will take the plum branches from you and give you money."
After saying that, Lin Yuan took out the amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box that had not been used for a long time and paid the tall, thin man and the youth.
He also paid the youth the price of 500 catties of plum branches tomorrow morning.
Just by seeing that the youth was selling the plum branches that he had painstakingly planted at such a low price, Lin Yuan knew that the youth had some unspeakable difficulties.
