Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Picking Seeds and Buying Seeds (Second Update)

Translator: 549690339

There were indeed many seeds at the seed station, not a thousand kinds, but there were several hundred.

Xiao Siqian found out for the first time that there were so many varieties of seeds.

All kinds of seeds were displayed on colorful walls and in transparent cabinets, as well as in the snake skin sack in the center of the room.

These seeds included some common ones, such as rice seeds, watermelon seeds, sorghum seeds, peanut seeds, rapeseed, and various vegetable seeds, among others.

There were also some seeds that were not commonly grown by farmers, such as strawberry seeds, potted gourd seeds, and colorful chili seeds.

Xiao Siqian saw these diverse seeds for the first time and was somewhat interested.

Of course, he wouldn’t grow them; he was just looking.

After looking around, Xiao Jinli went to the staff member who was drinking tea and asked, “Big brother, are all the seeds here?”

The staff member smiled and said, “Yes, almost all the seeds in the seed station are here. Little sister, what seeds do you need? Just tell big brother, and I’ll help you find them.”

Xiao Jinli thought for a moment and said, “Well, I want the latest varieties developed by the Agricultural Research Institute, those that are highly valuable and rare.”

The staff member was taken aback, then laughed out loud, “Little sister, those newly developed varieties have very high technical requirements and are difficult to grow. Are you sure you need them? And, those new varieties tend to be more expensive!”

He didn’t think a child would have so much money from her parents to buy those seeds.

Xiao Jinli looked serious and nodded, “Big brother, can you show them to me?”

Seeing her sincere attitude, the staff member nodded, “Okay, I’ll get them for you to see. But I’m warning you in advance, these seeds are quite precious, so please just look without rubbing or pinching them, as that could easily damage them.”

“Alright, alright, I know, big brother!” Xiao Jinli chimed in.

Then, the staff member took a bunch of keys from the drawer of his workbench and walked to a wooden table. He unlocked one of the drawers, took out a delicate wooden box containing seeds, and showed them to Xiao Jinli.

As he introduced the seeds, he said, “This is the latest seven-color tea flower variety developed by the Agricultural Research Institute, which is a kind of flower seed.

This colorful tea flower seed has been cultivated, but it is very difficult to grow the plant, as the technical requirements are quite demanding. However, once the flower is successfully grown, its value is almost impossible to estimate.

This seed is rare, and our station only got a little bit through the relationship with the Agricultural Research Institute. Originally, a friend of the station master wanted to buy it, so the station master got it.

However, the station master’s friend had an accident and no longer needed the seeds, so they have been left here. No one asked about them, so no one bought them. But since you suddenly asked, I’ll show them to you.”

He didn’t think that Xiao Jinli could afford them.

When Xiao Jinli heard the staff’s introduction, her head slightly lowered and her eyes flashed.

She looked at the staff member and said innocently, “Big brother, I want to buy these seeds, how much are they?”

The staff member was a bit surprised, “You want to buy these seeds, but you should know they are expensive, and they might not even survive when you buy them. If they don’t survive, it would be a huge loss. Little sister, why don’t you think it over? Besides, are your parents willing to give you that much money?”

Xiao Jinli asked again, “Big brother, I want to buy them, can you tell me how much they cost?”

Unable to persuade Xiao Jinli, he looked at Xiao Siqian and said, “Young man, these seeds are too expensive, why don’t you all pick some other seeds to buy?”
