Chapter 652: Miss Mantis Chooses a Place to Live

When Lin Zeng placed the fried beef tenderloin in front of Miss Lannie, he couldn't wait to Miss Mantis, wielding a big knife and quickly cutting off a hot shredded meat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With a one-size-fits-all cut, Lin Zeng, who was curious about the bystanders, had to say that the movements of this little insect were quite dignified and elegant.

Don't look at her stuffing shredded meat into her mouth one by one, but it doesn't give people a feeling of hunger at all.

If she could omit the almost nitpicky comments during the meal, Lin Zeng's mood would definitely be better. In a moment, half a piece of fried beef tenderloin had disappeared, and Miss Lannie's body had not changed in the slightest.

What a magical elf with a huge appetite.

Lin had fried Miss Lannie at the same time as he also got himself a large piece of beef tenderloin. Of course, it's not the weird medium-cooked beef tenderloin that Miss Mantis has, but the stir-fried green peppers with the tenderloin that she is good at.

Not!

Good taste.

It is rare that he has patience, and he knocked it with a loose meat hammer for a long time, knocking the meat twice as big, which is tender and free of residue, and has a good taste.

Unfortunately, Miss Mantis and Lin Zeng's taste experience is very different.

"When cooking, the heat is too big, and it is enough to use red open burning nuts. Miss Lanny said regretfully as she cut off a small piece of blackened corner and placed it on the table, shaking her head all the time.

What the hell is Ming Ranguo? He uses an induction cooker and a non-stick cooker.

Lin Zeng took a big mouthful of rice and sandwiched a large chopsticks of beef for himself, did not answer the tasting appraisal of this troublesome lady, and ate happily silently.

"The tenderloin of this animal is of such poor quality, rough and fishy, several qualities worse than that of the most ordinary low-level herbivores. Is this the best tenderloin ever bought?" Miss Lanny ate and ate, but complained without mercy, "It's hard to imagine how far this planet is from the breeders of the Breeders' Association, and can't even the most ordinary low-grade sesame herbs for feeding meat animals?"

Don't say you can't buy it, you haven't heard of it.

Lin Zeng thought with tears in his eyes.

The high-quality meat franchise where Lin Zeng buys beef specializes in naturally free-range beef and mutton at three times the price of ordinary beef and mutton. When Lin Zeng ate it, he felt that the meat was very elastic, the meat flavor was strong, and the quality was definitely above the ordinary commercial meat on the market.

If the quality of this meat is too poor, then what is the meat that ordinary citizens buy in the market on weekdays?

Alas!

It seems that the gap between the quality of life of the people on the earth and the people of the different worlds is really different from each detail.

The people's living standards have not yet been improved, and Comrade Lin Zeng still needs to work hard.

"Ahh

When Miss Lannie stood on the plate and single-handedly disposed of a half-pound piece of beef tenderloin, a particularly sad sigh sounded in Lin Zeng's ears.

"When I think of the days to come, I will have to eat this inferior tenderloin every day, and my life will fall into a terrible dark hell, what fun is there in life!"

Miss Lanny's lamentation was like an aria.

After Lin Zeng listened, a high-pitched alarm suddenly sounded in his heart.

Attention: Elves are depressed and motivated to work -10.

Attention! Elves do not eat properly, and have an intimacy with their owners -20.

Lin Zeng seemed to have a special sound of video games in his head.

No way!

It's hard to get a planting elf, although it's a blank version of skills and a troubled version, but it can't always be because of food problems, so that she becomes passive and slack, and has no fighting spirit.

"Miss Lannie," Lin Zeng immediately changed the subject, "in fifteen minutes, we will set off for the largest flower and bird market in the city, shall we?" ”

Lin Zeng just took the time to check the information on the Internet. The orchid praying mantis is indeed active mainly on orchids. By camouflaging orchids, they prey on small arthropods, reptiles, and even birds that live around the flowers.

Therefore, this orchid mantis lady wants to live on the orchid, and the essence is fine.

"Orchid?" Sure enough, Miss Lanny's attention quickly shifted from her poor diet to her new home, and her tone became cheerful again, "My race heritage tells me that the Slender Orchid is the most suitable flower house for our family to live in. If I live in this wisdom orchid, my planting skills will continue to improve without a lot of practice. ”

After Miss Lani finished speaking, she stared at Lin Zeng expectantly with her big compound eyes, which suddenly made people feel a lot of pressure.

"Well, this one probably doesn't. Lin Zeng could only say helplessly.

"Huh?" Miss Lannie dropped her tentacles in disappointment, and then suddenly remembered a kind of orchid house, "Otherwise, the pink vajra orchid can also live in it, and it will strengthen my feet and limbs, and my defenses." ”

"Well, no. Lin Zeng couldn't bear to tell her.

"Huh?" Miss Lannie was so sad that her eyes seemed to be covered with a dampness, and even Lin Zeng, who was completely unaware of the change in her expression, could read the emotion of lovelessness from her inverted triangle face.

"Well, why don't we go for a walk, maybe in addition to these two orchids, there are other orchid varieties that are very suitable for you to live in?" Lin Zeng could only comfort the little mantis.

Miss Lanny cheered up again after listening to Lin Zeng's words.

"Yes, maybe I'll be able to meet a better hanaya than my predecessors of the race!" Miss Lanny said firmly, waving her big knife kick.

――

――

With a mantis lady with her, Lin Zeng took a taxi to the largest Tiancheng flower and bird market in Beijing.

The Tiancheng Flower and Bird Market in Beijing City is obviously much larger than the Flower and Bird Market in Qinghe City. The merchants in the flower and bird market in Qinghe City, whether they sell flowers, or fish, birds, cats and dogs, are all concentrated in one market, and the area is only slightly divided.

However, the flower and bird market in Jingcheng, located on the outskirts of Beijing, is centered on a large intersection and is divided into four ABCD subdivisions. Area A mainly sells all kinds of flower and tree plants, seedlings and seeds, and Area B mainly sells all kinds of common pets, cats, dogs, hamsters, rabbits and the like. Zone C mainly sells all kinds of ornamental fish and aquatic animals, while Zone D sells soil, flower pots, tools and other materials related to planting and breeding. At the same time, dedicated delivery personnel can be hired in Zone D.

After checking the information of the flower and bird market, Lin Zeng decided to take a walk in the three areas of A, C and D.

Zone A can buy the orchid housing that Miss Lanny needs, as well as some special plants that he doesn't collect. Area C can see what good quality aquatic animals can be cultivated in ecological water bubbles. As for Zone D, he could just store some pot soil in Uncharted Space 2 in case he needed it. And let the delivery person transport the goods he bought back to his accommodation.

Miss Lanny hung on Lin Zeng's collar, looking curiously left and right, and along the way, she muttered and provoked.

Lin Zeng suspected that the inheritance of the racial elves she obtained in the hatching eggs was all these miscellaneous trivial things, all kinds of information about eating, drinking, living and traveling in the different worlds, so she didn't get a single planting skill.

"Ahhh ”

"Why don't there be a single plant on the faΓ§ade of these buildings?

"I don't like this kind of transportation, Mr. Lin Zeng, can you buy a drift bubble? It's much faster than that. ”

β€œ@#οΏ₯#……”

Miss Lanny's broken thoughts, accompanied by more than an hour's drive, kept ringing in Lin Zeng's ears.

Fortunately, the sound of the planting elf can only be heard by the breeder who cultivated it. And the communication between the breeder and the planting elf is so electric that outsiders can't hear it. Otherwise, the taxi driver Lin Zeng was in would definitely think that he was a ghost in the sky, or that Lin Zeng was a psychopath.

Lin Zeng paid the fare, and walked into the gate of Area A of the Flower and Bird Market with a pale face amid the chatter of Miss Lannie.

How does that sentence say, are three women worth a thousand ducks?

It seems that a female mantis is not inferior at all.

After entering Zone A, Miss Lannie finally quieted down when she saw the plants growing in the shop where she bought flowers and trees, and she rarely complained except for turning her head.

As soon as he entered the door, Lin Zeng saw several pots of orchids in a shop that sold comprehensive indoor ornamental flowers.

The orchid had not yet bloomed, but the leaves were slender and shiny, and Lin Zeng approached the orchid to check it with the intuition of a breeder.

Although it is artificially cultivated, its vitality is not bad.

Lin Zeng has completed his identification.

I just don't know if Miss Lanny is satisfied.

Lin Zeng lowered his head, outsiders only thought he was looking at the flowers, but in fact he was communicating with Lanny.

"How about these pots of orchids?"

"Mr. Lin Zeng, are you kidding? Let me live on this inferior bluegrass full of the strange smell of fertilizer, do you want me to turn me from a beautiful lady to an ugly bastard?"

Lin Zeng really wanted to say, I can't see your beauty and ugliness at all!

"Well, let's move on. Lin Zeng ignored the store's warm greeting and continued to look ahead.

"How's this one?"

"Oh my God, the roots are rotting bluegrass, hurry up and go, if you get any closer, you will stink together. Miss Lanny exclaimed.

It seems that I have run into a black-hearted store.

Lin Zeng took Miss Lannie and walked to a row of comprehensive flower and tree shops, Miss Lanny not only didn't look at an orchid, but was so frightened by these orchids that she almost hid in Lin Zeng's ears.

Lin Zeng is tired!

I should have expected that this Miss Mantis would not be so easy to handle.

When Lin Zeng made a detour, he suddenly found a shop called Lancao Pavilion. This two-shelf shop is exquisitely decorated and looks like a high-end tea shop from the outside. On the shelves in the glass windows facing the street, there are several orchids.

Lin Zeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

This should be a florist specializing in high-end orchids, so you can go inside and check it out.

"This is a place dedicated to selling orchids, maybe you will find a suitable place to stay here. Lin Zeng stood at the door of the store, bowed his head and communicated with Miss Lanny, finally returning her lost mood to normal.

"Eun, I see. "Little Mantis Lanie reinvigorated.

Lin Zeng took Miss Lannie and pushed open the glass door of the Blue Grass Pavilion, and the cool and moist air hit him, which made people's hearts feel refreshed.

A young woman with a delicate face and a crescent white embroidered cheongsam greeted her with a smile on her face and asked in an appropriate voice.

"Sir, do you need help?"

Her eyes fell on Lin Zeng's collar and found that there was a purple-pink orchid pinned to his collar. Miss Lannie really looks too similar to an orchid, and from this woman's point of view, she didn't even notice anything unusual about it.

"Eh, do you have any good orchid recommendations?" Lin Zeng pondered for a moment and asked.

"Will you buy it for free, or do you grow it yourself?" asked the young woman.

"Give it away. The fragrance of the flowers is good, the flower shape is beautiful, and the vitality is strong, I don't know if there are any wild varieties. Lin Zeng summed up Miss Lanny's picky just now and told the clerk.

"Sir, do you have a price point?" asked the clerk with a smile.

"I don't mind. ”

The woman who introduced orchids to customers in the Orchid Pavilion smiled even brighter. She took a delicate hardcover album from the counter, and then took Lin Zeng to a pot of orchids on the glass shelf in the center of the store, and said: "Look at this pot of native orchids in Caiyun Province, Yonghuaisu, it is the best in the lotus petal orchid flowers, named after Mr. Wang Yonghuai, a famous orchid breeder in Caiyun Province." It belongs to the large-flowered plum type lotus petal plain flower, the whole flower is graceful and luxurious, the shape is simple and elegant, the flower fragrance is pleasant, the leaf shape is beautiful, the leaf is strong, and it has won the special gold medal of the 13th National Orchid Exhibition. You can see that this is its blooming form, which is really exciting. ”

The woman in a cheongsam opened the photo album and showed Lin Zeng a photo of Yonghuaisu.

Lin Zeng glanced at the price tag in front of this pot of Yonghuai Su orchids.

21,688 yuan.

Tongue smacking.

This price is worth more than the potted plants that grow fruits and vegetables indoors sold by Lin Zeng's different greening company. You must know that the bluegrass that Lin Zeng saw in the comprehensive flower and tree stores in the flower and bird market before was only 50 yuan per pot, and that bush was much more than these Yonghuai plants in the pot.

"The current market price, the best Yonghuaisu, is priced at 7,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan per seedling. The price of Yonghuaisu has been high in the past few years, and the price per seedling has been 100,000 yuan per plant for many years. In recent years, the consumption of bluegrass has become more and more rational, and the price has fallen, but it is not much in stock. This month coincides with a discount event in the store, so this pot of three seedlings of Yonghuaisu is in good condition, and it is already very discounted. ”

Lin Zeng looked at the photo album and really felt that this orchid was very beautiful, with round petals as white as jade, and slender leaves that were green and shiny, which really gave people a different sense of beauty.

However, it is not up to him to decide which pot of orchids to choose.

The main owner tugged at his collar, trying to study the high-priced orchid, muttering in his mouth.

"Why don't you bloom?!"

"Can't smell it. ”

"It's more comfortable than the previous orchid, but Miss Lanny doesn't like white flowers. Miss Mantis shook her head dissatisfied.

……

Well, Lin Zeng understood what Miss Praying Mantis meant.

She has a preference for orchids, preferring red orchids to white orchids.

"Is there an orchid with red flowers?" Lin Zeng's question completely exposed that he was an out-and-out layman.

"Yes. The woman who introduced her nodded and led Lin Zeng to a desk. In a pot of blue and white jade porcelain, a cluster of orchid grass is planted, and the soil is covered with tender green moss around the orchid grass.

"This is drunken erythrin, native to the territory of the Red River in Caiyun Province, the flower color is ruddy, the petals are bright red, such as the concubine is drunk, red and delicate, so it is named 'drunken erythrin'. It is a strong fragrance type, pure and long-lasting, and the flowers bloom amazingly. This pot has two seedlings and three heads, and the price is 8,600 yuan, which is also very favorable. ”

Because it is not in the flowering period, the flowers that Lin Zeng saw are just photos in the album. This pot of orchids, the color of the flowers is almost purple-red, very showy, Miss Lannie obviously has a preference for this pot.

Still, she didn't stop talking.

As the only listener, Lin Zeng heard her begin to think in pieces.

What is terrifying is that in less than a day, Lin Zeng actually found that he had gradually adapted.

"It's too colorful, but it's okay. ”

"The leaves are not as beautiful as the one before. It's not a nuisance, though. ”

"Mr. Lin Zeng, Mr. Lin Zeng, let me get closer and smell it. ”

Lin had approached the pot of drunken red pigment, only to be greeted by Miss Lannie's exclamation.

"No, no, this pot of bluegrass roots smells stinky, I don't like it!"

To be honest, Lin Zeng didn't smell anything at all, only a faint smell of grass leaves of plants.

But the little mantis was horrified by the smell and was reluctant to approach it again.

Rejecting this drunken red pigment, Lin Zeng looked at all the varieties on the table in this orchid pavilion.

In the end, he walked out of the Blue Grass Pavilion with his hands empty, very embarrassed.

This young lady is too picky, and Lin Zeng is also out of line.

He originally wanted to buy a pot of medium-priced orchids on the hard work of this shopping guide lady carefully introducing each pot of orchids to him, but the little mantis with a helpless neckline refused to die against these orchids that hit her disgust, and resolutely did not want Lin Zeng to buy them.

Lin Zeng could only leave with apologies.

The shopping guide woman wearing the standard cheongsam of the Blue Grass Pavilion silently walked back to her position, rubbed her calf that stood sore in high heels, and there was not much resentment on her face.

She has long been accustomed to customers asking but not buying.

By the time Lin Zeng had finished visiting all the shops in Area A, it had already been two hours.

Miss Lannie, no matter how much Lin tried to comfort her, couldn't recover.

Lin was ready to leave the last shop, called Golden Orchid House. This shop is not wide, only half the size of an ordinary shop, and the store also specializes in orchids, and the price of orchids here is more expensive than the beautifully decorated orchid pavilion just now, and there are not many customers who see orchids.

"Sir, aren't you satisfied with the orchids here? Jin Lanju's chubby boss saw Lin Zeng studying for a long time, but he looked disappointed and asked curiously.

"The shape is beautiful, the fragrance of flowers, the vitality is strong, do not artificially cultivate. Lin Zeng had already said this condition many times when he was hanging out.

"Hehe," the fat boss touched his stomach and said with a smile, "Sir, if you are not satisfied with the orchids in my shop, I can point to a place, at the end of this road, there is a small stall gathering place, and some people sell native orchids purchased from all over the country, all wild orchids in the mountains, maybe you will find a variety that you are satisfied with." ”
