Song Ci and Niu Pan'er were about to leave Xiazhi Foreign Trading Company when they happened to see a clerk passing by with a small dustpan. She glanced at it casually, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Stop right there."
The clerk was startled by the command, nearly losing his grip on the dustpan, and looked at Song Ci with a bewildered and fearful expression. Did he just run into a noble?
"What is this? Is it for sale?" Song Ci walked over and pointed at the dustpan.
The clerk stammered in reply, "In... in response to Old Madam's question, this is a yam, it's edible."
"How much silver is this? I'll take it," Song Ci asked, holding back her excitement.
What yam, these are potatoes, one of the four most important food crops globally in later generations, unexpectedly appearing in this store.
This is a major discovery!
The clerk was at a loss, looking towards the maid inside the trading company; he didn't know how much silver it was worth.
