Chapter 356: A Unique Blue Flower! (2nd Update)
"Blue?"
"Oh, I see!" Chen Hao happily said a few words to the goddess, and then hung up the phone.
No way, the market in the hall on this floor is a little too noisy. Coupled with the large number of people, it is not much better than the vegetable market.
As for Wu Yajing on the other end of the phone, after hearing Chen Hao ask what color of flowers she liked, she thought that Chen Hao was going to arrange a surprise for her to send flowers. is also warm in my heart, looking forward to ending the filming work as soon as possible and returning to China to meet my lover for a thousand miles.
No way!
Women love beauty!
For this kind of beauty-loving plot, it is not only manifested in the woman's appearance, figure, clothes, bags, and cosmetics.
Flowers are inherently beautiful symbols, and their biggest consumer groups are female compatriots like Wu Yajing.
What Valentine's Day must send roses, classroom day carnations, and some strange flower language, it is estimated that most of them are also figured out by women.
Because of this kind of delicate work, male compatriots who are rough men can't do it.
As for the flowers in the Dounan market where Chen Hao is located, it is estimated that there is a chance that they will eventually end up in the hands of female compatriots.
This is the same as Ma's father's Ali Fafa, once he grabbed the women's money bags, he became the richest man in China!
If nothing else, take the roses in this flower market, once they fall into the hands of male compatriots, will they not be handed over to the object of affection?
Send roses on Valentine's Day, roses on Tanabata Day, and even roses for Christmas.
Judging from the current atmosphere of Chinese festivals, the majority of hungry male compatriots are eager to make all the festivals enough to be Valentine's Day.
This is also why, as soon as the holidays come, jokes on the Internet begin to circulate legends such as the "Open House Festival".
As for why Chen Hao asked the goddess for advice, it was also because the other party was a woman.
From a woman's point of view, it is definitely better than what he is a turtle to come.
It's just that for the "blue flowers" chosen by Wu Yajing, Chen Hao is a little difficult.
Because before coming to Kunshi, this guy used the power of the Internet to consult a lot of related flower information.
Blue is a rare color in the colorful natural world.
According to the 280,000 varieties of flowers that have been discovered by human beings, only 10% of the flowers can produce blue, and this kind of blue is not pure blue, most of them are some blue that tends to be blue and purple.
No way, who makes plants without real blue pigments?
Therefore, in order to produce blue flowers or leaves, plants need to use a common natural pigment of plants, anthocyanins.
It's just that in nature, most of the anthocyanins synthesized by such plants are reddish-purple. It is only in a specific pH environment, and after countless years of genetic variation, that the petals of the blue variety can evolve.
Even in Asia's largest flower market, there are very few varieties of flowers that actually have blue petals.
Of course, it is precisely because of this rare color that blue flowers are sought after by female compatriots like Wu Yajing.
……
"Boss, is this a rose?" Chen Hao squatted in front of a stall and asked, pointing to a bundle of flowers that exuded an elegant blue color.
Before that, he had already visited most of the Dounan Flower Market.
Don't say it, this Dounan flower market is the largest flower trading market in Asia.
There are thousands of retail stalls on this floor alone. Those plainly dressed flower farmers and small stall owners even stacked bundles of flowers on the ground at will.
Looking at this posture placed everywhere, it is estimated that these flowers are completely sold as bundles of green onions!
As far as the eye can see, the hall on this floor has become a colorful ocean.
Just the few small aisles that people can walk through are all stepped out by stepping on the corpse of the petals.
As for the stall where Chen Hao squatted, it specializes in rose varieties. Pale pink, orange, bright red, and even green roses can be found in a few bouquets of roses at the stalls.
But the most conspicuous thing here is the stacks of blue roses that are piled up in the corners and exude a strange atmosphere.
"Roses, of course!"
"Don't you see what this sign says? A middle-aged stall owner with a fat head and big ears slapped his lips and replied with some displeasure.
Judging by his impatient attitude, it is obvious that he has been asked too much by tourists who come to the market to hang out.
In the eyes of this middle-aged stall owner, Chen Hao, who does not wear a waist bag and does not pull a simple small trailer, is a tourist who comes and goes empty-handed nine times out of ten.
Treat this kind of tourists who just join in the fun and don't pay for flowers, these stall owners who do business will definitely not give a good look.
However, Chen Hao has also eaten and mixed in society, and seeing that the other party showed an unreasonable expression, he naturally took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them over: "Boss, wrap me with a bouquet of these blue roses." ”
"Huh?"
"Buying flowers!" Seeing the red banknote appear in sight, the rich middle-aged stall owner's tone suddenly changed, and the whole person became extremely enthusiastic.
I saw him neatly tie two bundles of blue roses with his hands and feet, and then pulled out two pieces of plastic paper from the stall behind him, and skillfully wrapped a cluster of roses that are most common in flower shops.
"Young man, 12 blue enchantresses, I will charge you 360 yuan. The middle-aged stall owner smiled and packed the bouquet, and then turned over 4 pieces of 10 yuan change from the money box next to him and found Chen Hao.
"Sell for 30 each?"
"This blue rose...... Is it so expensive to sell land for the Blue Enchantress?"
"Roses are only sold for 10 yuan a flower in the flower shop, this is all a wholesale market, how can it still be ......" Chen Hao asked with some surprise.
"Expensive?"
"Young man, our roses are the cheapest in the Dounan market. ”
"This blue enchantress you want, it's not naturally grown. They are all handmade by hand-dyeing after picking fresh roses. ”
"Look at this gold wire edge, it is all hand-pressed by the workers one by one, and the whole Dounan is sold for 30 yuan. If you go to the flower shop outside, it's good if you don't want a 5 or 60 flower. The middle-aged stall owner was surprised when he saw Chen Hao, and hurriedly explained with some saliva.
"Huh?"
"This blue enchantress isn't a natural blue rose?" Chen Hao was quite instructively surprised.
"There are no natural blue roses these days! ”
"If you like all-natural, you can look at these red, pink roses. ”
"These are all natural colors, absolutely not painted, and they are a lot cheaper than the blue enchantress in your hand. The middle-aged stall owner grinned, and began to sell other roses to Chen Hao in the stall.
PS: In October 2018, the research team of Professor Zhang Yan of the School of Pharmacy of Tianjin University and the team of Professor Chen Yihua of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed the world's first blue rose using synthetic biology technology. We Chinese are the first to cultivate, applaud and celebrate.
