After this discovery, she often used this flower to make tea. After drinking it for a few months, she was surprised to find that her body was much lighter than before and her five senses were much stronger than before.

She had also secretly given it to her family to drink, but unfortunately, Lin An, Li and Lin Shuyan didn't feel anything after drinking it, they just thought the flower tea tasted good.

Since this flower is so extraordinary, how could this fruit be any worse? Lin Shuyue thought.

The next day.

After breakfast, Lin Shuyue took the two little girls back to the room, and Qingsheng went to the stable to prepare the carriage.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Shuyue, dressed as a young man, brought Qinghe and Qingzhi, who were dressed like servants, out of the inn and got straight into the carriage.

"Young Master, I have found out the location of the Jade Market. In addition to the Jade Market, the innkeeper said there is also a Flower Garden in the east of the city.

The owner of the garden is a scholar who loves flowers. He has collected many rare flowers in this garden.

The innkeeper said that the owner of this garden is very sociable and his garden will be open to the public for two days in the middle of every month. This month, the garden will be open tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Would you like to go and have a look?

"By the way, the innkeeper also said that there is a peach forest in the garden. The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and many scholars and scholars go there to appreciate the flowers."

"The innkeeper also said that we could go to the docks. He said that there are foreign merchants coming to the docks occasionally. They bring goods that are not available in the Great Zhou Dynasty and are very popular among wealthy families."

Qingsheng reported everything he had found out.

"Well, let's go to Huajian Garden tomorrow." Lin Shuyue nodded gently while fanning herself, and then said, "Let's go to the pier first."

Since the establishment of the Zhenhai Division in Wanhe County, the number of foreign people coming from overseas has been decreasing. This is because when they arrive in Wanhe County, they have to undergo strict inspection by the Zhenhai Division and obtain a pass before they can go ashore. As a result, the number of foreign merchants encountered by the people of the Great Zhou has also decreased.

Jin'an Prefecture is a large prefecture close to the capital, with a huge flow of people. It is much more prosperous than Wuzhou, and the travel permits for foreign merchants are only valid for fifteen days at most.

In order not to waste time, most of those foreign merchants would take the pass and take the water route directly to Jin'an Prefecture, sell the overseas goods they brought with them, and then use the money they earned to buy porcelain, tea or silk cloth to bring back to their hometowns.

After arriving at the dock, the four of them walked around, but did not see any foreign merchants. However, there were many snacks on the dock, so Lin Shuyue took the three of them to stroll around from one end to the other and ate until they were full.

When the sun was high in the sky, a passenger ship docked. Most of the guests who got off the ship were wealthy families who came to Jin'an Prefecture for sightseeing or to visit friends.

Perhaps the four of them were lucky, as there happened to be three foreign merchants with blond hair and blue eyes and strange clothing who got off the boat. As soon as the three of them got off the boat, they were surrounded by many managers or merchants before the goods were sorted out.

"Everyone...don't be impatient, wait for me..."

One of the foreign men, blond hair and blue eyes, calmed the crowd with his poor Great Zhou dialect, while he and his companions placed the goods they brought on the stall in an orderly manner.

"We want these five boxes of spices!"

“I want three boxes!”

"We want that box of emeralds!"

"..."

Most of the goods brought by foreign merchants were spices, jewelry or some rare gadgets, each of which was deeply loved by the wealthy families.

Therefore, those managers did not bother to put on airs and just shouted at the top of their lungs, fearing that they would not be happy if they failed to grab anything, and the whole stall was in a mess.

Qingsheng followed his mistress' instructions and squeezed forward, memorized the goods on the stall one by one, and then returned to Lin Shuyue to report to her.

"Well, let's buy some gems and spices."

Lin Shuyue took out six hundred taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to Qingsheng. After thinking for a while, she reminded him, "If there are any rare gadgets or seeds, you can buy some as well."

Qingsheng took the banknote and returned to the stall excitedly. Relying on his tall and strong stature, he quickly squeezed in.

A quarter of an hour later, Qingsheng returned happily carrying a small bag.

"Master, I managed to snatch three boxes of spices, a box of gems, and a few other trinkets that I have never seen before and I don't know what they are. I spent a total of 356 taels. The spices cost 35 taels a box, and the box of gems cost 220 taels. The other trinkets were cheaper."

He handed the bundle and the remaining banknotes to Lin Shuyue.

Lin Shuyue glanced at the foreign merchant who was already packing up his stall, opened her bag, picked up a box of spices and smelled it. Hmm, it was not bad, with a very faint fragrance, which was suitable for A Niang.

"Young Master, that foreign merchant said this was some kind of thyme, and the managers were all rushing to get it. Luckily, I was quick and was able to grab three boxes." Qing Sheng explained, turning around.

"Well, well done." She put down the spices and nodded with satisfaction, then opened the box of gems and took a look. Most of the gems were rubies and emeralds, and there were also some agates, crystals, and pearl bracelets, which looked very beautiful.

Suddenly, she paused, then put down the gem and picked up a small cylinder next to the box to examine it carefully.

This is... a telescope??? It's a copper monocular telescope.

She remembered that the earliest telescope appeared in the history of her previous life was in the Ming Dynasty. However, this was an imaginary world, so the appearance of this thing was not surprising, just like the appearance of crops such as corn, potatoes, and peppers in the Zhou Dynasty.

She still remembered that when she first signed for corn and potatoes last year, she was very excited. She thought she could become rich with these corn and potatoes like in the time-travel novels she read in her previous life, or promote them and get awarded the title of a county lord by the imperial court.

When they showed it to Li and Lin An, they found out that corn and potatoes had already existed in the Zhou Dynasty, and they called them corn and taro.

Collecting her thoughts, she picked up the telescope and looked towards the river not far away. The flowers, plants and trees on the other side of the river were clearly visible.

"Qingsheng, does the foreign merchant still have this little thing on his stall?" Lin Shuyue asked, shaking the telescope in her hand.

"Master, there is no more. There is only one of this thing, and it is still placed in the corner. The stewards were busy grabbing spices and gems, and no one noticed this. I thought I had never seen this thing before, so I bought it."

Qingsheng rubbed his head and told everything in detail, then picked up the two small paper bags in the bundle, "Master, these are all seeds. I don't know what they are, and I don't understand what the foreign merchant said. Can you take a look?"

Lin Shuyue opened one of the small paper packages and took a closer look, then raised her eyebrows. It turned out to be strawberry seeds. It seems that she will be able to achieve strawberry freedom in the future.

After looking at the strawberry seeds, she picked up another small paper package, opened it, frowned and looked at it for a long time, then picked it up and smelled it, but still couldn't recognize what kind of seeds it was. Forget it, she would know what it was after planting it and it grew.
