Luo Tong was listening attentively, and suddenly heard Zhao Lao selling Guanzi, and couldn't help shaking his head. She was really unfamiliar with the price of flowers.

Luo Xiaocheng was lying in Luo Tong's arms, staring at his big round eyes, as if he was also listening intently to Zhao Lao's speech. One person and one cat stared at Zhao Lao in unison, Zhao Lao couldn't withstand the attack of the cute thing, and silently stretched out three fingers.

Luo Tong's thoughts turned around between 3,000 and 30,000, and then said tentatively: "30,000?" She felt that the price was too high, 30,000 yuan was worth a family's living expenses for a year, and it was not a small amount, who would spend 30,000 yuan to buy a pot of orchids.

She told the truth here, and Zhao Lao immediately smiled, knowing that this was a sincere child who didn't understand the Tao here.

"What 30,000? It's 300,000!" Zhao Lao was helpless, "Xiao Luo, this kind of superb Chunlan is something that can be met but not sought, and it is not a matter of 300,000 at all if it is raised, and when the time comes, it will rely on the sale of pollen and offspring, and it will make a lot of money a year." If many orchid farmers have such a superb spring orchid, most of them are carefully cultivated as heirlooms, hoping to make a fortune from it. Zhao Lao patiently explained, and the two of them slowly walked to the periphery.

When I got closer, I found that there were a lot of rotten flowers and plants in the corner, which were probably cleaned up from the surrounding stalls. Rong Lao squatted between a few old men, constantly rummaging through these flowers and plants, his face full of pity.

"This calla lily is definitely not good, the roots are rotten, it's a pity that it's in such a good condition. ”

"Alas, this one will definitely not be able to feed, and it will definitely die, but if there is a glimmer of hope, the store is reluctant to throw it away. ”

Several people were talking, but Luo Tong's attention was attracted by a short dead tree on the very edge. It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a tree, with a height of about 1.5 meters and a diameter of about 15 cm, which is a small tree, but I don't see what kind of Luo Tong is at all. Because the leaves of the tree were all gone, the roots were uprooted, and only a few pieces of dirt stuck to the roots sporadically, and the whole dead tree exuded a dead air.

Maybe it was because it was in poor condition, and the few people gathered there didn't even notice that there was such a tree. Luo Tong could clearly hear the tree crying for help: "Help me...... Help me...... Help me......" Luo Tong felt uncomfortable when he heard it.

Luo Tong unconsciously walked towards the dead tree, and Zhao Lao raised his eyebrows and followed behind. What attracted the attention of the little girl was such a dead tree?

Luo Tong touched the trunk of the tree lightly, the consciousness of asking for help was clearer, it was the desire for life! She must save it, Luo Tong secretly decided, not only because of her compassion, but more importantly, Luo Tong felt that the tree had developed its own consciousness, what does this mean?

This is the second plant that Luo Tong has seen that produces self-awareness, the first is the 800-year-old ginkgo tree in the scenic spot, and now it seems that this dead tree is not enough.

Perhaps sensing Luo Tong's will, the dead tree gradually fell silent and no longer exuded a sense of distress. Luo Tong was anxious about this dead tree, looked at Grandpa Rong, who was still in the crowd, greeted Zhao Lao, went to the store next to him to find a plastic bag, carefully wrapped the roots of the dead tree, hugged the little orange cat, and left the flower market in a hurry.

Finally, Rong Lao, who was addicted to Taobao, finally squeezed out of the crowd, and he was still holding two wilting seedlings in his hands, which seemed to be orchid seedlings.

"What's the matter, Old Man Rong, do you also want to raise two superb Chunlan?" said Zhao Lao jokingly. They have lived in the same neighborhood for decades, and they have a good relationship with each other and are able to make innocuous jokes.

"Go, go, the old man just saw that these two seedlings could still be fed, and he couldn't bear to watch them die like this. Rong Lao blew his beard and stared, people who really love flowers generally have a heartfelt respect for life, so that it can watch these two seedlings being sunburned, which is even more uncomfortable than digging his heart.

However, seeing that Old Man Zhao was standing here alone, but the little girl who came with him was no longer there, Old Rong was also a little strange.

"Xiao Luo, I picked up a dead tree next to me and hurriedly went back, it seems that I want to try to see if I can feed it, but I think it's hard to ......" Zhao Lao shook his head, it's not that he is not optimistic about Luo Tong, but no matter who sees the situation of that tree, he will not choose to spend energy to save it, maybe this is the difference between a fledgling and a seasoned one?

Not mentioning the thoughts of Rong Lao and Zhao Lao here, Luo Tong hurried back to the flower shop. Along the way, she had already communicated a little with the dead tree, which was a bird's-tongued boxwood, and the meaning from him was that it was painful to be bitten by insects, and that its leaves had fallen off.

When he arrived at the flower shop, Luo Tong hurriedly looked for a pest control method for boxwood, and Luo Tong installed some insecticide liquid in the tutorial on the Internet, sprayed it evenly on the trunk and branches, and re-disinfected the potting soil. After being busy with all this, Luo Tong carefully nourished it with his ability, and felt the gratitude from the boxwood, only to know that the most difficult level had finally passed, and it was necessary to pay attention to the maintenance in the future.

Luo Tong breathed a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxed, and then he realized that he was already sweating. I was in a hurry to treat boxwood just now, but I didn't have time to bring the little orange cat in, and I wasn't where I was now. Thinking of this, Luo Tong walked out of the store quickly, walked to the side of the bicycle and took a look, the little orange cat was sleeping in the cloth basket, and the small body was lying down with even breathing, not to mention enjoying more.

Gently holding out the little orange cat, Luo Tong slowly walked into the store, just the day before yesterday the tool book had arrived, Luo Tong took a book of plants, found the boxwood page, and looked carefully.

The boxwood is a treasure inside the boxwood, and the branches are cylindrical; Branchlets quadrangular, pubescent, glabrous later. Leaves thin, leathery, usually spoon-shaped, but also narrowly ovate or obovate, most of them are widest above the middle, 2-4 cm long, 8-18 mm wide, apex rounded or obtuse, often with shallow notches or small pointed convex heads, narrow wedge-shaped at base, sometimes acutely pointed, leaf surface green, shiny, pale grey on the back of the leaf, midrib convex on both sides, lateral veins very numerous, prominent on both sides or only on the leaf surface, at an angle of 50-60 degrees to the midrib, the lower half of the midrib on the leaf surface is mostly finely hairy; The petiole is 1-2 mm long.

The bird's-tongue boxwood grows slowly, and the bird's-tongue boxwood with a diameter of about 15 cm usually takes 150-200 years to grow.

Boxwood bonsai, due to its slow growth, lush and verdant all year round, lush and fruitful, although there is no high-end flowers and plants as too much luxury, publicity, but with a steady and heavy style and masculine temperament to conquer the viewers, as the bonsai tree species in the top grade, that is to say, as long as Luo Tong will be this boxwood in the future, it will definitely be able to sell at a good price. Thinking of this, Luo Tong couldn't help but be even more happy.

In fact, she is also under pressure, although her family is very supportive, but she still wants to make some achievements to show her parents. After all, she rejected her parents' advice about her job and wanted to start her own business to open a flower shop instead.

In order to make her open a store smoothly, her parents bought a store and a house, and it is estimated that the old capital in the hands of her parents is about to be spent, after all, her family is an ordinary working family, and it is difficult to buy so many at once.

Although her parents solved the problem of the store for her, so that her starting point was much higher at the beginning, the more this happened, the more Luo Tong wanted to work hard to achieve results. She didn't want to say that she proposed to start a business, but she lost money and made her parents unable to hold their heads up in front of relatives and friends.

It is for this reason that Luo Tong also has to raise this boxwood well, and when the time comes, he will prove to his parents that even if your daughter does not go to work according to the route you planned, she will still be able to support herself.

Luo Tong checked, there was a pot of boxwood bonsai before, about 400 years old, and finally sold at a price of 8 million yuan, she was about 180 years old, if you take care of it, find an expert to shoot, it is estimated that the money in the store should be earned, the more Luo Tong thinks about it, the happier he is, and he smiles crookedly. The little orange cat lying on her lap felt the owner's joy, and couldn't help rolling and meowing twice.
