313: Boss, what kind of question is this?

The Farmer Old Man was momentarily caught in a dilemma.

Originally, he only intended to buy chili seeds, but he never expected that the sudden appearance of tomato seeds would truly captivate him.

If it were really as the middle-aged man in front of him said, once he got his hands on the tomato seeds, he would ultimately be taking advantage of the other person.

The inherently honest and simple Farmer Old Man took the seeds into his hand, squinting his eyes to carefully examine their quality.

For ordinary farmers like them, although they had encountered many crop seeds, it was truly their first time seeing foreign imported seeds like those described by the Vendor boss.

This also fell into his blind spot of knowledge.

However, just looking at the shape, size, and quality of the seeds, they were indeed much better than ordinary tomato seeds.

After a moment of hesitation, the Farmer Old Man tentatively asked again,

“Um, can these tomato seeds really grow into China imported fruit tomatoes, as you said?”

“You’re not lying to me, are you?”

The Vendor boss showed a sincere smile, looking very earnest.

“Don’t worry, big brother! I sell seeds here every day, so you’re not afraid I’ll run away after selling you the seeds, are you? A monk can run, but his temple can’t!”

“You can ask around anyone selling seeds nearby, everyone knows my name.”

The honest Farmer Old Man heard this, and the stone hanging in his heart finally dropped, his suspicious expression turning into gratitude.

“Alright then, boss, please help me pack all these seeds.”

“Tell me how much it is, I’ll take all these seeds.”

“All… all of them?!”

The Vendor’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and the smile on his face almost reached his ears.

He had originally thought he could fool one person if he could, but he never expected there were still such easily deceived people in this world.

His seeds were actually just ordinary tomato seeds; they looked large and plump because he had treated them beforehand.

Moreover, specially treated tomato seeds would not only fail to produce better-tasting or larger tomatoes, but there was also a ninety percent chance that they wouldn't even survive.

Because the 'treatment' he spoke of was actually using special methods to make the seeds look better for sale! In reality, it offered no help for actual planting.

Now, this Farmer Old Man actually wanted to buy all of his seeds!

One must know, this was no small sum! The total quantity of all the seeds combined could earn him a hefty profit!

With a selling price more than ten times the cost, he could probably move to a new location tomorrow after completing this single sale.

Watching piles of seeds being packed and portioned, the Vendor patted his chest and guaranteed,

“Big brother, all the seeds are right here.”

“I’ve sold every last one to you! You must take good care of them. When harvest comes next year, they definitely won’t disappoint you!”

The Farmer Old Man carefully took the packed seeds from the other party’s hand, then meticulously pulled out a wad of money from his pocket, counted each bill, and handed it to the other party.

Finally, as if to thank the Vendor for providing the imported tomato seeds, the Farmer Old Man pulled out two more bills from his pocket and gave them to the Vendor.

The Vendor saw this scene and immediately grinned from ear to ear.

Just as their transaction was about to conclude, a voice suddenly called out to them.

“Hey, wait!”

“Boss, did you just say these tomato seeds are imported fruit tomatoes from China?”

“Are there any more seeds? I’d like to buy some too?”

Su Yu, who had been standing a few meters away, finally couldn’t contain his curiosity. He walked forward and called out to the two men.

The Vendor, who was suddenly called out to, felt an inexplicable tightening in his heart and looked up.

Seeing that it was a young man in his early twenties who had called him, he immediately relaxed.

“Oh, another fat sheep has arrived.”

“I’m really sorry, young man. I just sold all the tomato seeds to this uncle, but besides tomato seeds, I also have cucumber seeds of equally excellent quality.”

“Do you need them?”

Cucumber seeds?

Su Yu scratched his head, feeling a bit puzzled.

He seriously suspected that this Vendor was doing it on purpose. The uncle came to buy chili, and he recommended tomatoes. He came to buy tomatoes, but he recommended cucumbers?

What kind of operation was this?

Was he deliberately recommending seeds that the other party wasn't too familiar with, in order to pass off fakes as genuine?

“Young man, to be honest, these cucumbers are actually fruit cucumber seeds cultivated by my relatives in China. The quality is absolutely amazing!”

“Don’t miss out if you pass by! If my yard wasn’t full, I wouldn’t bear to sell them!”

The same sales tactics, familiar product descriptions.

Not big brother!

The Farmer Old Man hasn’t left yet, isn’t it a bit impolite to use the same sales tactics?

The Farmer Old Man beside him also paused when he heard this.

His steps, which were about to leave, stopped again.

Su Yu ignored the Farmer Old Man’s actions, instead pinching a seed and casually asking the boss,

“Boss, are you sure these seeds are really fruit cucumbers?”

“Why do they not look like it to me?”

The middle-aged boss’s heart skipped a beat. Although he felt guilty, the expression on his face suddenly changed, and he abruptly became impatient.

“Hey! I say, do you understand or not! These cucumber seeds are called ‘White Jade Melon’ in China, these are tribute fruits, ordinary people can’t eat them! It’s normal that you haven’t seen them.”

“Are you buying or not? If not, get out of the way, don’t affect my business!”

Su Yu’s heart stirred at the Vendor boss’s sudden change of attitude.

There was indeed something fishy!

He just casually asked, and it was as if he had stepped on the Vendor’s tail, causing the other party to want to drive him away at the slightest disagreement.

If these seeds weren’t problematic, he would eat them on the spot!

“Boss, don’t get excited, I’ve never seen these ‘White Jade Cucumber’ seeds before either, have I?”

“Let me see, let me see again.”

Seeing that Su Yu no longer questioned him, the Vendor finally lifted his head, snorted, and handed the seeds back out.

This time, after Su Yu took them, he immediately had his Lackey activate the intelligent recognition.

Soon, the recognition results came out.

“Master, these are just ordinary cucumber seeds! The quality is extremely poor! They might not even grow!”

Having received the Lackey’s confirmed result, Su Yu’s lips finally curved slightly upwards, revealing a smile.

Trying to trick him and it came back to him?

Did he really think he was easy to fool!

In the live broadcast room, Su Yu stopped the Farmer Old Man who was about to leave, then suddenly raised the seeds in his hand and shouted loudly to the surroundings,

“Everyone, come and see! This boss is a liar, deliberately using inferior seeds to pass off as good seeds and selling them at a high price!”

“Everyone, come and judge!”

Hearing this powerful shout, the Vendor boss’s face instantly changed.
