Chapter Forty-Six: Spring City

Xu Fei prepared in Ancheng for several days before he and Xu Xiaowen stepped on the train to Spring City.

The two places are more than 400 kilometers apart, and the next two hours will be there, but now it is not possible, the average speed is only 60 kilometers per hour, and the green car has to walk for most of the day.

In these years, there is no heating equipment, and the sealing is poor, and the small north wind is swishing in, just like an ice cellar. Xu Xiaowen was still a little trembling after wrapping a big cotton jacket, and he looked for steps while shaking: "I just recently went south and north, and my body was poor, I think I went south and north when I was young, and the exercise, the cold winter and moonlight are not a thing......"

Anyway, Xu Fei didn't understand, is it good or bad to go south and north?

"Boiling water is coming, boiling water is coming, is there a need?"

The conductor walked slowly with a trolley, and there were two large kettles in the car. Xu Xiaowen was talking in the vernacular, as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly turned out an enamel jar, "Pour me some!"

People poured a jar full, and he held a small sip and sucked, covering his hands by the way. The big vat is years old, and the paint is so bad that I can barely recognize a line of words: dedicated to the loveliest person.

From this point of view, it is a product of the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.

"Don't drink in such a hurry, it's easy to get sick in your throat if it's too hot. Xu Fei couldn't help but say.

"What's the disease, I've been drinking like this for half my life, and I'm not okay now?"

Xu Xiaowen exhaled and said, "I said that you kid went to the capital, why are you so little Bourgeovia? ”

Shh

Xu Fei rolled his eyes, love to drink, no one cares about you.

The train drove for a while, stopped at a large station, and there were many people hulala, and some seats were vacated. A buddy sat over, thumping his legs and waist, obviously standing for a long time.

He looked like he was in his thirties, with a big face and small eyes, and he swept over the two of them and said hello.

Well?

The accent seems to be mixed in many places, and the speed of speech is fast, Ula Ula's. Seeing that the two of them didn't understand, he tried his best to speak clearly and said it again.

"You two are going to Spring City?"

"Hmm. ”

Xu Fei responded.

"Then dare to be coincidental, I will also go to Spring City, do you buy flowers or sell flowers?"

"No, anything else. ”

"Don't be joking, if you don't go to Spring City now for flowers, can you do it?"

This buddy is very familiar, and after looking at it, he reached out and was about to touch the box under Xu Xiaowen's feet, "Hey, this is a flower, right?"

"Roll the calves!"

Xu Xiaowen raised his foot and kicked back, "Who the hell are you, get out of here and sit!"

"Hey, why are you swearing?"

"I'm still beating you!"

Daddy stood up and was about to beat him, but when the goods saw it, he ran to the back seat.

"You sometimes really don't look like a literary and artistic worker, saying that people believe you when you pull a pole and stand on a mountain. "Xu Feile is happy.

"Don't talk to me! When I was a child, I was honest, and I understood after being robbed a few times, I was honest and bullied, and I had to be more horizontal than him. ”

"Then how did you change your ways?"

"Fate, I inadvertently worshipped the teacher, and I entered the storytelling door. Hey, you kid owes a beating, what do you mean to change your ways?"

Xu Xiaowen patted the table, and then lowered his voice again, "I observed for a long time just now, there are still many southerners in the car, you look over there, then there is a Hokkien dialect, it seems that the three religions and nine streams have gathered here." But since you want to come, I can't look at it raw, you are also older now, and the idea is to listen to you, if someone really wants to play tricks, you have to look at what is in our waist. ”

Xu Fei's heart is hot, he is really a father, although he is not the original owner, but this love for parents and children is felt properly.

The train went with a bang, and when it was past noon, it finally arrived at the station.

When the two of them got off the train, they were both startled by the scene in front of them, there were so many people! Only around the railway station, it seemed to exceed the population of the whole Saddle City, and there was a line of comings and goings, and countless men, women, and children were going in and out.

Among them is the guy I saw in the car, who got into it like an ant and was instantly overwhelmed by the flow of people.

Xu Fei inquired, only to know that there was a flower market there.

In the era of planned economy, Spring City was one of the largest cities in the country. FAW knows it, Red Flag, Liberation, Xiali, Pentium, who hasn't seen that sign like a bird?

and Changying Studio also knows, "Shangganling", "Heroes' Children", "Liu Sanjie", "White-Haired Girl", "***", are also famous.

Therefore, if you want industry to have industry, you want art to have art, and it is awesome.

Xu Xiaowen came to perform when he was young, and he hasn't been here for many years, he is strange everywhere, and he feels that they are all high-rise buildings, and Ancheng can't be compared.

The two of them each held a box and found a guest house.

Xu Fei first went out to inquire and learned that there are ten Junzilan trading markets in Chuncheng, which are distributed in the railway station, Chaoyang Park, Laohuanlou, Guangfu Road, Yongchun Road, Hongqi Street, Wanbao Street, Qinghua Road and other places.

The two discussed it and decided to go to Hongqi Street, which was the first to open the market.

Speaking of Junzi Orchid in Spring City, how did it become popular?

Junzi orchid is a South African species, which was given to Puyi by the RB people during the puppet Manchurian period and became the royal flower of the palace, and later flowed into the people. In the sixties, it was not allowed to be raised at all, which was called capitalist corruption.

And after 78 years, first some old local cadres liked it, because this thing is very in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese, fragrant and elegant, gentlemanly style, and noble blood - although I still don't understand that a flower has something to do with noble blood?

Later, because of the scarcity of production in various places, Chuncheng gradually became the largest distribution center of Junzi orchid, attracting a group of foreign merchants, and those who raised flowers also made some small money.

When this atmosphere was initially formed, some people with a keen sense of smell began to secretly hype, and more and more flowers were raised.

In 1982, Chuncheng issued a price limit order, stipulating that a pot of Junzi Orchid should not exceed 200 yuan. The following year, a transaction tax was introduced, which was the first in the country.

These measures not only did not suppress them, but instead catalyzed the emotions of the people.

The government soon noticed it, and also changed its attitude in time, and began to vigorously develop the Junzi orchid industry, so there was a "city flower" and a "balcony economy".

With the endorsement of the government, the enthusiasm of the masses, which was already very loud, instantly climbed to the peak.

The leaders of the national brand came to the flower show in person, the provincial and municipal leaders personally guided the raising of flowers, Fan Zeng painted for Junzi Orchid, Qi Gong inscribed for Junzi Orchid, and Hou Baolin had to tell a joke about Junzi Orchid to please the audience.

The city's newspaper supplements are called Junzilan, and the wall calendar even uses thirteen color photos of Junzilan on the cover of a year, and even the TV program uses Junzilan as the title.

Chuncheng Machinery Factory called on workers to take the road of Junzilan to get rich, and more than 1,700 workers raised their families, and a washing machine factory invested hundreds of thousands of yuan to build a 600-square-meter aerial greenhouse on the roof of the office building......

When later generations mentioned this incident, they always said that the whole people were hyped, but it was actually bullshit.

A pot of flowers is sold for tens of thousands, how can ordinary people have so much money? What is really hot is the cadres of certain government agencies, large flower growers, state-owned enterprises, and Hong Kong and foreign businessmen!
