Chapter 1 Opening a Store
Luo Tong went on a trip during the summer vacation of his junior year, and accidentally strayed into a primeval forest, and accidentally devoured a turquoise fruit, which gave Luo Tong the ability to wood. Since then, she has not only been able to see the vitality of plants, but also has the ability to communicate with plants. Of course, it is limited to those more precious plants that have developed self-awareness, so Luo Tong has some thoughts.
The so-called wood-based ability is that Luo Tong can feel the grass and trees of the plant, and by absorbing the grass and trees to improve his ability, he uses the ability to nourish the plant, and the plant then feeds back the grass and tree energy to her, which is complementary to each other.
It is a very difficult and long process for plants to generate their own consciousness, and before they can develop self-awareness, Luo Tong can only vaguely feel their needs, such as whether they need sunlight or water. So far, Luo Tong only noticed its consciousness on the ginkgo tree that had lived for more than 800 years when he traveled to the scenic spot that summer vacation that year.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Tong arrived home by bus, Luo's mother is not at work today, she is washing her apron and cooking in the kitchen, and several dishes have been placed on the table, which are full of color and flavor. Luo Tong put down his bag, took a deep breath, and asked, "It's so fragrant, Mom, how do you cook so many dishes today?"
"Aren't you defending your dissertation today? Celebrate in advance, we Tongtong are also people who are about to step into society. Luo's mother teased Luo Tong while stir-frying.
It happened that at this time, there was a voice at the entrance, and Luo's mother looked back to see that it was Luo's father who came back, and hurriedly urged Luotong and Luo's father to wash their hands, and she brought a pot of soup out and put it on the table.
At the dinner table, Luo's mother asked seemingly casually while picking fish bones: "Tongtong, are you sure of today's thesis defense?"
Luo Tong was lowering his head and nibbling on small ribs, chewed and swallowed a few times when he heard the words, raised his head and blinked, "Mom, the thesis has been defended, and the next thing is to wait for the graduation certificate." ”
Luo's father also came up, "Then Tongtong, what kind of job are you going to look for?"
Luo's mother glanced at Luo's father and said, "Isn't your school going to recruit teachers recently, Tongtong just graduated from the normal major, just find a way to arrange for her to become a teacher." How good it is for girls to be teachers, just complete the teaching tasks every day, and the rest of the time is their own, as well as winter and summer vacations, it's easy to find a partner. ”
Luo's father is a tracheitis at home, and the home is Luo's mother's Yiyantang, and when she heard the words, she only knew how to nod, and she was blind to the terrifying momentum of the teaching director in the school. He also agreed with Luo's mother's opinion, if Luo Tong went to work at his school, he could still take care of it, so that he would have to worry about his daughter.
Luo Tong snickered, my father is still like this, I listen to my mother for everything, although the teacher's job is good, the salary and benefits are good, and there are winter and summer vacations. But Luo Tong didn't want to do such a job, she had a cold personality, didn't like to talk much, and believed that silence was golden. Coupled with her own special abilities now, she is even more afraid of contact with outsiders, so she decisively rejected her mother's proposal.
"Mom, I don't want to be a teacher, I don't know how to speak, the current high school students are all ghosts, I definitely can't cure them, aren't you embarrassed for me? If you poke the basket at that time, won't it be a shame for my father?" Luo Tong put down his chopsticks and looked serious.
Luo's mother frowned, too, and she didn't know who her daughter's temperament was. Luo's mother works as a department manager in a company, and she is usually in a hurry, and she is even more exquisite. Lao Luo is the director of the school, with a black face, everyone is afraid, and those students are obedient. How did I give birth to a girl who is a saw-mouthed gourd, introverted and doesn't like to talk, and can sit there with a book in her hand for a long time without moving her buttocks.
Little girls of the same age have a few little sisters who play well, and they go out to play crazy on weekends, either shopping and singing, or getting tired of being crooked with their boyfriends. It's good to have a daughter, and when she is young, she is a little closer to the daughter of the neighbor's old Zheng family, and the activities organized by the school can be avoided at ordinary times, but if you can't do it, you just go to show your face, and the rest are hiding in the corner. Not to mention a boyfriend, it stands to reason that his daughter is not bad, why is no one interested?
The more Luo's mother thought about it, the more anxious she became, "Then you say, what kind of job do you want to find? Why don't you go to our company and become an assistant?" Luo's mother asked tentatively.
Luo Tong put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, "Mom, I want to open a flower shop near the school." ”
"What?florist?" Luo's mother and Luo's father said in unison, they thought about what type of job their daughter was looking for, but they didn't expect her to want to open a flower shop by herself.
"That's right," compared to Luo's father and Luo's mother's surprise, Luo Tong was very calm, "Mom, I've thought about it a long time ago, I know my own temper and personality, I don't know how to speak, I can't play intrigue in the workplace, I am a teacher and I am worried about misleading people's children, it is best to open my own store, and I don't need to look at other people's faces, customers will buy if they are satisfied, and if they are not satisfied, I will be clean." ”
"That's right," Luo's mother groaned, her daughter's temperament is clear, Tongtong has a hand in raising flowers and grasses, and the flowers that pass through her hands grow very well. It's better to open a store yourself, if you can't run it, you can put it at home, and you can beautify the environment, which is the problem of this store......
As soon as Luo Tong saw his mother groaning, he knew that there was a play. She hurriedly approached Luo's mother, "Mom, I have long wanted to open a flower shop." There is a flower shop near the school that is going to change hands, the owner Wang Qing and her husband's job transfer, she plans to transfer the store, and go to other cities with her husband, the rent of the store is 3000 yuan per month, your daughter and I can't earn 3000 a month?"
Luo's mother couldn't cry or laugh, "Silly girl, that's not how the account is calculated." Except for a month's rent, don't you have to pay for water, electricity, and gas? Don't you have to spend money to eat by yourself? It also costs money to buy and get goods, so it's as simple as you say?"
Luo Tong bowed her head in disdain, she really didn't think about it that much, she just thought that now that she has a wood-based ability, opening a flower shop is the best choice, how do you know that there are so many things.
Seeing her daughter drooping her head, Luo's mother smiled: "Okay, what a big deal, you are still young, you don't know this, Mom will accompany you to see the store another day." Luo Dad also ate at this time, was cleaning up the table, and interjected: "If Tongtong opens a flower shop, what will happen to the supply, have you thought about it?"
When Luo Tong heard this, he immediately came to his senses, "Mom, Dad, I wanted to sell the flowers in the flower garden first, and I wanted to cultivate other flowers by myself, although the flower shop is not big, but it also has its own flower garden, and I will also take the flower garden next." ”
When Luo's mother and Luo's father heard it, they thought it was feasible, but they only knew if they had actually seen it, and it was too early to say anything.
Luo's mother has always acted resolutely, and the next day she dragged Luo's father to visit the flower shop in Luo Tong's mouth, the flower shop next to the school has a good geographical location, and the flow of people is quite large.
Luo's mother looked at the store transfer notice posted at the door of the store, her eyes rolled, and she pulled Luo's father to discuss it, and directly took the store down. When I went home at night, Luo Tong looked at the real estate certificate in front of him, and he couldn't come back to his senses, and after graduating from his feelings, he became a house-owning family, although it was only a storefront room of less than 30 square meters.
"Mom, aren't you afraid that I will lose money at that time?" Luo Tong couldn't cry or laugh, her parents' hearts were too big, she only said that she wanted to rent a shop, and her parents simply bought it directly.
"What are you talking about?" Luo's mother was disgusted, "Your father and I have seen it, the location of that place is good, and the shopkeeper is in a hurry to leave, so we have pressed down some prices, but it is not expensive." Taking a step back, even if you lose money by then, I can rent out the house and make a steady profit. "Luo Ma's old god is at ease, and she has harvested two star eyes from Luo Tong.
In other words, Luo Ma is really Luo Tong's idol, Luo Ma is generous and outgoing, can speak well, and is exquisite, Luo Tong can't learn the strength of Luo Ma, as soon as she arrives in a crowded place, she will have stage fright, let her speak in public, let alone let her speak in public, it is easy to blush when there are many people. Fortunately, she is usually introverted, and people who are not familiar with her still think that she is cold, such as the flower of kaolin, which can only be watched from a distance and cannot be played with, only those who are familiar with her know how shy and shy this girl is.
A week later, Luo Tong's small flower shop was finally renovated, and the previous store name Green Field was very good, and Luo Tong did not change the name of the store again, but changed the legal person on the business license. Wang Qing was in a hurry to leave, and a lot of things in the store were left for her, which also saved Luo Tong from spending money to buy, and now that the store is open, it can save a little bit. Luo Tong relocated the tables and chairs in the store to make it look more comfortable.
In the past, Wang Qing mainly sold potted plants such as cactus, bamboo, and narcissus, but Luo Tong moved these potted plants to another shelf, and opened a new succulent flower stand, which was filled with all kinds of colorful succulents, including bright green cute bear boys, as well as mountain roses, Lu Shilian, Monroe, moon fairies, etc., and there were many types, and so on.
The most eye-catching thing is the combination of two pots of flesh on the counter, which are colorful and intertwined, and there are also several ornaments of seven-star ladybugs around, which are particularly vibrant.
In order to make these succulents famous in one fell swoop, Luo Tong deliberately used wood-based abilities to nurture these succulents, but accidentally used too much force, and these succulents skyrocketed like eating hormones, and they were about to burst. For this, Luo Tong also went to the ceramic factory and specially ordered a batch of small flower pots of different shapes, and all the cuttings were divided into other pots. Succulent pots are also an important factor in landscaping, and sometimes, good-looking pots can also bring succulent sales.
Sure enough, the result of careful preparation was gratifying. By less than the afternoon, all the succulents on the succulent shelves were sold out. Together, small things such as cacti that Luo Tong thought were not easy to sell were also sold a lot, and Luo Tong smiled and squinted.
The main thing is that it is very meaty and very attractive to girls, cute, meaty, easy to take care of, a little watered, put it in the sun, and it doesn't matter if you ignore it for ten days and half a month. In addition, the price is not expensive, the cheap ones are only a few dollars a pot, and the expensive ones are only a few dozen, and most of the student parties are willing to do it. Even if the girl is reluctant, the boyfriend has to be reluctant, who makes the girlfriend like it?
