The owner of the garden is an old man in his sixties and has a teenage grandson.
I heard that the son and daughter-in-law went to other places to do business when they saw that growing flowers was not making money. Only the old man still persisted in the skills passed down from his ancestors.
Hearing that the Li family wanted to buy orchids, the old man was very happy.
He led everyone to a separate small shed and placed two pots of flowers near the edge in a shady and diffused light area.
The wide green leaves had a few flower stems pulled out from the middle. Only half of them were left, leaning to one side, looking limp and half-dead.
Even though the Li family doesn't understand orchids, they can still tell the difference between good and bad.
There is obviously something wrong with these two potted flowers!
Li Laoer frowned and asked: "Uncle, are you... planning to sell these two pots of sick flowers to us?"
The old man blushed and hesitated for a long time, then simply broke the jar and said directly, "This Master, our grandson and grandson are going to join our son and daughter-in-law, and we are reunited as a family. These two pots of orchid, also called Qiubang, bloom at this time.
"Originally, it was reserved for a noble man in the city, but it's a pity that my little grandson is too sleepy. , I didn't pay attention to the animals at home, and let the animals wipe out the flower buds with a few mouthfuls. The noble man came to take a look and left, refusing to buy it. Just when you guys came over, I was thinking...thinking about giving it a try? "
What he said sounded nice, but in fact he was taking advantage of the Li family, guessing that they didn't know the business, and it was better to sell them in a fool than to lose it in his own hands.
The old lady and Mr. Li both looked bad, but the good news was She struggled to the ground and leaned over to take a closer look.
In fact, the flowers, leaves and flower stems were all intact, but the flower buds were gone.
If it were left in other people's hands, they would probably have to keep it for a year and a half, waiting for it to bloom again next year.
But she Having space for a nursery is not a problem at all.
After all, the shriveled melon seeds thrown on the wall have grown into melon seedlings, and these two pots of orchids are just minor injuries!
Jiayin ran back to Mrs. Li's side and took her grandma's hand. , scratching the palm of grandma's hand.
Mrs. Li knew it and guessed that her granddaughter had something to do, but her face showed no expression.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard a scream not far away, and a green mule came from behind. Suddenly ran out of the wooden fence, followed by the old man's grandson.
It turned out that the boy became more and more angry as he thought about it. It was because the mule had stolen the orchids that he could not go to reunite with his parents early, so he picked up the whip and thought Beat the mule.
As a result, the mule was not tied tightly and ran away.
The old man stamped his feet angrily and cursed: "You can't be honest for a while. Why did you beat it? It can spit out the buds?" "
After that, he wanted to apologize to the three members of the Li family, but he saw the three members of the Li family looking at the green mule with surprise on their faces!
The old man was confused and asked cautiously, "Well, this master, these two pots of flowers... Do you want to buy it? "
Li Laoer came to his senses, glanced at Mrs. Li, and when she nodded, he quickly said: "We will buy it and keep it for a year, and it may not bloom yet. It is really risky. You can make a price. If it's a good deal, I'll take it back and keep it for a while.
The old man hesitated for a long time, then quoted a price, "Fifty taels for two pots! " "
After that, he was afraid that Li Laoer would find it too expensive, so he added, "I really don't want much. If the buds weren't gone, a pot of flowers would cost fifty taels!
Li Laoer waved his hand, pointed at the big green mule, and said: "Two pots of flowers, plus this mule, a total of fifty taels. If you agree, we will take it away immediately! " "
Orchid and mule?
What kind of combination is this? Do you like orchids or mules?
The old man swallowed hard, thinking that the orchid was half dead and could not be sold at a high price. The mule was also thin and hairy, and there was no one at all. Buying, if you deal with it together, it will completely clear your mind.
So, he quickly nodded, "Sell. "
Lao Er Li asked happily, but felt embarrassed again when he touched his wallet. He only
took a dozen taels of silver with him when he went out. Fortunately, Mrs. Li sent her grandson to school and was well prepared and put the money in the secret compartment of the carriage.
The two of them Putting it all together, it's enough for fifty taels.
So, when the Li family's carriage left the nursery, there were two more pots of orchids in the carriage, and a mule was tied to one side of the carriage.
It wasn't until they had gone a long way that the carriage stopped. Li Laoer and the old lady jumped out of the car and surrounded the mule, both with red eyes.
"Da Qing? This is our Da Qing!" Mrs. Li asked in disbelief.
"It's definitely true, there are still scars here on the buttocks." Li Laoer replied affirmatively.
Jiayin was lying on the window and couldn't help but touch the back of his head, subconsciously feeling some pain.
At first, when everyone just walked out of the mountains and saw the Jinsha River Pier in front of them, they were so happy that they lost their vigilance and were chased by a group of barbarians.
Mrs. Li hugged Jiayin and sat on Daqing's back to escape. As a result, Daqing was shot in the butt by an arrow. He left the old lady and Jiayin behind and ran away without a trace.
The family once thought that Daqing died somewhere, but they didn't expect to meet him here.
Daqing, who was originally tall and strong, may have been poorly taken care of, and became skinny and gloomy.
At this time, it also recognized Mrs. Li and Mr. Li, its eyes actually had a little light, it flicked its tail and sneezed.
"Okay, okay, now I recognize my family members!" Mrs. Li said happily.
"Go home quickly. The fourth child and Daqing are more familiar with each other. Just let the fourth child feed him for a few days." Li Laoer also said.
Mrs. Li and Mr. Li got into the car again. Ye Shan whipped his whip and hurried home.
Dongmei carefully protected the two pots of flowers, not wanting them to break due to bumps.
Even though this flower doesn't look pretty, as soon as you enter Li's house, you can keep it in full glory.
Don't ask her why, the Li family just has this magical ability...
Jiayin doesn't know that she has been deified in Dongmei's heart. She is secretly rubbing her butt. The road is really bumpy. No matter how thick her flesh pads are, they are still there. He was shaken so hard that his bones were about to fall apart.
Fortunately, Mrs. Li held her in her arms and sat on her. She swayed and fell asleep again.
Li Laoer was originally worried that his little niece would make a fuss about going to the restaurant, but he was relieved when he saw her sleeping soundly with her little mouth open.
Broken Gold Beach is also very lively today.
There was no work in the orchards and riverbanks on the mountains, so the village chief was concerned and put road and bridge construction on the agenda.
The road leading from Xindu to Broken Gold Beach was not a good one in the first place. Over the past two years, with the constant traffic, the road has become even worse, full of potholes and bumps, and every now and then a carriage would be damaged.
It's really impossible not to practice!
Previously, Li Zheng from Dahuaishu Village and Xiaowangzhuang had promised to provide help. After all, Ruijintan will be everyone's foundation and support in the future.
So, the village chief found the three of them and sat under the Feng Shui Treasure Land sign, smoking dry cigarettes and discussing.
Li Zheng from Dahuaishu Village is old and has some experience with the weather. He said: "Brother, although we don't have particularly heavy snow here every winter, it will be impossible to start any work after it freezes.
Look at the weather today. Winter will definitely come in one month. Why don't we start a big deal and get all the work done before winter begins!"
