There were quite a few shops selling seeds and seedlings. Each shop had plants that Stella was familiar with, but there were also quite a few she had never seen before.
The shops selling seeds varied, ranging from small stalls like the one Daelun and Stella operated to larger establishments. The sizes and types of shops were diverse.
Among the many shops, what caught Stella’s attention was a humble-looking stall operated by an old woman at the end of the street. The variety of seeds was limited, and the location wasn’t particularly good, leading to very few customers.
As if entranced, Stella approached the stall and sat down in front of the old woman.
“Is the pretty young lady going to start farming?”
“Yes, I thought I’d try planting various things.”
“Hmm, I sense good energy from you. Everything you grow will thrive. It’s in your nature.”
The old woman was wearing a worn-out brown robe that covered her deeply, and it reached down to cover half of her face, with only her slightly pursed lips visible.
“It’s fortunate. What kind of seeds are these?”
Stella asked with a cheerful smile, holding up a basket. The basket contained quite large seeds. She showed them to Daelun as well, but he shook his head, indicating that he had never seen them before.
“These are sugar peanuts.”
“Is there such a thing? Daelun, have you heard of it?”
“No, this is the first time I’ve heard of it. Grandmother, are you trying to trick us?”
When Daelun looked at her suspiciously, the old woman snatched the basket Stella was holding.
“Not for sale. Go away.”
“No, please give it to me. I’ll buy it.”
For some reason, Stella felt that she must buy these suspicious seeds.
“They’re very expensive seeds.”
“How much are they?”
Daelun still had an uncomfortable expression as he glared at the old woman, but she didn’t turn her head towards him.
“10 pence per seed.”
“What? Where did this old lady learn to scam people! It’s the first time I’ve heard of sugar peanuts, and what? 10 pence per seed? Who would think there’s gold inside!”
Daelun’s voice was quite loud, and people nearby glanced at them. Stella grabbed Daelun’s clothes. Daelun, while standing firm, stared at the old woman with determination.
“You’ve messed with the wrong guy, you sly old hag.”
The old woman stuck out her tongue at Daelun. Daelun wanted to take Stella away from here immediately, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it and just stood his ground.
Stella counted the sugar peanuts in the basket. There were a total of thirty-five seeds.
“It’s 350 pence?”
“Why? Is it too expensive?”
“Yes. That’s all the money I earned today, 300 pence.”
Daelun was frustrated to the point of madness. He had worked hard to earn some money, only to be swindled by the cunning old woman.
“Then just give me that much.”
The old woman extended the basket and her hand as if to reveal her true intentions. Stella joyfully handed over the purse containing today’s earnings, and the old woman eagerly took the purse as if she had been waiting for it.
The moment the purse left Stella’s hand, she wondered if, as Daelun had suggested, it might be a scam. However, sugar peanuts. She was too curious to resist.
“Daelun, don’t worry. I’ll give you your share when we get back.”
“That’s not the issue… I’m sorry. I…”
“I know. I understand why you’re like this.”
Daelun, seeing Stella’s expression, realized that it was already too late to change anything. Regardless of what seeds were in that basket, it was clear that Princess Stella was pleased with them.
Hugging the basket filled with seeds, Stella looked as happy as a child who had received a birthday present.
Well, if the princess is happy, that’s all that matters. After all, the carrot farm is also something Princess cultivated.
After emptying his mind, he even felt like he had gotten a good deal, considering how happy he made the princess.
“He’s more observant than he looks.”
As if the old woman had read his thoughts, she spat out those words, and Daelun turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
“Then, please buy a lot. We’ll be on our way now.”
When Stella was about to leave with Daelun, the old woman called them again.
“Come here for a moment.”
“Yes? We’ve already paid for the seeds.”
Daelun asked, once again with a guarded tone.
“You’re quite impatient. Take all of these with you.”
This time, Stella widened her eyes in surprise. The old woman handed over all five baskets placed on the stall. Each of the five baskets was filled with different seeds.
“I can’t give you more money even if you give all of these.”
When Stella hesitated and couldn’t accept it, the old woman, using her dry thigh, lightly tapped and drummed her trembling bones before standing up.
The old woman’s back was bent at a right angle. Daelun quickly found a cane lying next to the stall and handed it to the old woman.
“As expected, you have a keen sense. It’ll be useful.”
“You said it was useless earlier.”
“Not now.”
