Li Qingfeng couldn't help but smile helplessly as he looked at Bai Xiuming, who was on the side with an excited expression.
He really hadn't expected this old man to become so agitated about this matter.
After all, this old man had seemed utterly detached from worldly concerns just a moment ago, and now he had become like this, which indeed surprised Li Qingfeng.
However, seeing his demeanor, the few people also nodded seriously.
After walking for about five minutes, Elder Bai Xiuming suddenly pointed to the exhibition area ahead.
"Yes, it's right there! My old friend sells these things there!"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Li Qingfeng quickly turned his gaze towards the front.
If nothing unexpected happened, it should be at the very front.
Indeed, as they walked closer, they soon saw the stall ahead.
The stall wasn't very large, and its name wasn't particularly grand or sophisticated; instead, it was incredibly down-to-earth.
"Da Ming Vegetable and Fruit Base!"
Seeing this name, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but look at Bai Xiuming seriously.
His friend's way of naming things was truly extraordinary!
"Elder Bai, did your friend name this base after himself?"
After thinking for a moment, Li Qingfeng finally spoke up to ask.
Bai Xiuming nodded without hesitation. He said, "You guessed it, and you're absolutely right! My friend's name is An Daming!"
"I wouldn't dare boast about other things, but when it comes to growing vegetables, my friend is second to none. He's been running this vegetable and fruit base for many years."
Hearing this, Li Qingfeng immediately walked forward.
He wouldn't believe what others said. The most important thing was to see it with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.
With this thought, Li Qingfeng walked to the very front.
Indeed, when he reached the front, he saw that the stall was filled with various kinds of vegetable seedlings and fruit seedlings.
It must be said, it was exactly as Bai Xiuming had described. These seedlings had been growing for a very, very long time.
These things were not easy to plant after taking them back, but if they were successfully planted, they would bear fruit and possibly even yield a bountiful harvest.
Because once they passed the land acclimatization period, there would be no problems, and they wouldn't even need pesticides, which perfectly aligned with his concept of green vegetables.
"How is it? My friend's skill in growing vegetables is quite impressive, isn't it?"
Bai Xiuming smiled and said as he saw Li Qingfeng examining them so seriously.
They say old people are wise. He probably wouldn't promote something casually. What he promoted must be top-notch goods.
Li Qingfeng nodded and said, "Elder Bai, I don't know about anything else, but these seedlings of his! They are indeed something I can use!"
"So, you mean you want to buy them?"
Hearing Li Qingfeng's words, the old man was extremely happy and directly asked.
Li Qingfeng didn't give him a definitive answer, only saying that he needed to consider it further.
After all, the owner of the stall hadn't appeared yet, and discussing the price was necessary.
"That's strange. Old An is always here around this time. Why isn't anyone here today?"
Bai Xiuming looked at him and instantly understood the situation, speaking curiously.
Hearing his words, Li Qingfeng also looked around curiously. He also wanted to meet the owner of this stall.
If nothing else, just the name of the stall made Li Qingfeng feel it was incredibly down-to-earth.
The two searched for a long time but couldn't find the stall owner.
"Elder Bai, are you sure your friend An Daming actually came?"
Although Li Qingfeng trusted Bai Xiuming immensely, he couldn't help but ask, as it would be awkward if his friend wasn't working.
Bai Xiuming shook his head with great certainty and said, "Impossible. I know my friend, and we even met at the exhibition this morning!"
Hearing the old man beside him, Li Qingfeng immediately focused his gaze on the surrounding area. He was definitely nearby.
"Let's go, Xiao Li, let's look around. He should be nearby!"
Bai Xiuming thought for a moment and decided to take the initiative. He grabbed Li Qingfeng and rushed out.
They hadn't walked far when they heard a furious argument.
Instantly, Bai Xiuming's face turned dark because he recognized one of the arguing voices; he was extremely familiar with it!
"What's wrong, Elder Bai? Is there someone you know in there?"
Seeing his expression, Li Qingfeng immediately understood everything and quickly asked.
Indeed, upon hearing his words, Bai Xiuming nodded directly.
He said, "I've found An Daming. One of the two people arguing is him!"
"This guy's voice is quite distinctive. The one who argues and coughs is him!"
Bai Xiuming walked in first. Seeing his actions, Li Qingfeng thought about it and followed him. After all, his task today was to buy vegetable seedlings.
As soon as they entered, they heard the sound of a fierce argument.
Inside, they were intensely discussing a business deal.
There were already many onlookers around. Li Qingfeng pulled someone over and asked.
"Hey, brother! What's going on in there? Why are they arguing so fiercely?"
Although the person who was pulled wasn't happy, upon hearing Li Qingfeng call him "brother," he smiled and explained the situation.
It turned out that these people were all stall owners at the Dongfeng Technology Exhibition.
The two people arguing inside were the stall owner of Da Ming Vegetable Base and the stall owner of Benteng Technology Vegetable Base!
The Da Ming Vegetable Base used a more traditional cultivation method, the kind used by ordinary families.
This cultivation method had a significant drawback: the cost was very high, so the selling price was also high.
The Benteng Technology Vegetable Base next to it was different. They used soilless cultivation.
This way, the root systems developed evenly, the cost was very low, the production cost was low, and they could cultivate and reproduce in large quantities, which was many times more efficient than the ancient method.
Of course, when these two methods clashed, the selling price would change drastically.
Originally, seedlings cultivated by the ancient method were generally priced at 1.5 yuan per plant.
However, seedlings cultivated using technological soilless cultivation only cost 0.8 yuan per plant! One could imagine the significant price difference and the huge market gap.
