Chapter 164: Alder
"Huh?" Xia Zhi obviously didn't understand Xia Laohan's nervousness.
"Is this the Suluo tree?" and at this time, Xiao Si'er, who was standing behind Xia Zhi, heard what Xia Laohan said, and stepped forward to look at it with some curiosity.
She had heard of the sa tree, but there are several kinds of trees with this pronunciation, the first is the kind that Xia Laohan said, it is said that the Buddha was meditating under that kind of tree when he attained enlightenment, so this sa tree was regarded as a Buddha tree by later generations, and it is a broad-leaved perennial tree species.
There is also the 'alder tree', which is a living fossil, a fern that is said to be a favorite food of dinosaurs, but by the 21st century, due to human deforestation and climate change, there are not many dead trees left.
Obviously, the tree in front of you is not a broad-leaved tree.
"Why is the girl here?" Xia Laohan heard Xiao Si'er's voice, and then he took his eyes off the alder tree in surprise.
Xiao Sier smiled and didn't answer him, but looked around the alder tree for a while, and then said, "I don't think this tree should be the kind of alder tree you are talking about." ”
"Huh?" Xia Laohan was slightly stunned by Xiao Si'er's words, "This is not Suo Luo Shu?"
"The name is this, but it's not what you said, the Buddha died under this kind of tree. Shawsel explained.
"Isn't it ......?" Xia Laohan's face was slightly red.
He originally wanted to find some rare trees and flowers in Wang Yuanwai's house, but a monk came in from nowhere in his yard, and the monk must have come to Wang Yuanwai's house often, preaching Buddhism to the people in the courtyard along the way.
Although the monk said that the gods and Buddhas, Xia Laohan did not particularly believe in them, but the things in his words also sounded some truth, so he listened to some of them, who knew that the monk was talking and talking, and he talked about the Buddha Shakyamuni who was born in the colorless sky.
What is the light of the Buddha in the sky, what white birds are singing in unison, Xia Laohan's head is dizzy, but he only remembers clearly what the monk said, what Shakyamuni passed away, there was a tree called Suluo Tree suddenly bloomed full of silver flowers, the leaves of the garden are complex to support the huge and beautiful flowers, the flowers are like a pagoda pointing directly to the colorless sky above the head, it is really magnificent.
Xia Laohan felt that he had never seen such a tree, and if there was such a tree, he would like to see what kind of beautiful and magnificent flower it was like a pagoda.
But at that time, the king exclaimed in surprise, saying that there was such a soro tree in his yard, so he ...... Under the various admiration of the monk, and under the various proddings of the king, Xia Laohan bought the Suluo tree, but who knew that Xiao Sier saw it and said that this 'Suluo tree' was not the 'Suluo tree', and he couldn't understand what was going on for a while.
"But the value of this alder tree should not be much cheaper than the kind you said, and this kind of tree will be less and less in the future, if it is well maintained......" Xiao Sier had seen this kind of living fossil alder tree once in a temple in Mount Emei, so he recognized it.
Wang Yuanwai said that this kind of tree is indeed not easy to raise, and the requirements for the environment are not only damp, but also the temperature should not be too low. Xia Laohan coughed dryly, feeling that he was clearly a tree planter, but his understanding of trees didn't seem to be as good as Xiao Si'er, and he was a little ashamed.
"Well, it seems so. Xiao Sier nodded, she knew in her impression that this kind of tree generally lives at an altitude of two or three thousand altitudes, and the altitude of Xi'an seems to be a little worse, and she doesn't know if it can be raised well.
After that, Xiao Sier probably talked about the difference between the sora tree and the alder tree, and everyone who listened was stunned. Xiao Xia Zhi was very curious about how Xiao Sier knew this, Xiao Sier's mysterious sentence: Xiucai doesn't go out, he knows everything about the world.
Let Xiao Xia Zhi's worship of her rise to a terrible level, Xiao Xia Zhi thought, no wonder he likes Xiao Sier so much, it turns out that Xiao Sier is still a talent!
“…… So, do you still have a good idea of the buying and selling of this seedling?" Xiao Sier had only heard some things about Xia Laohan before, and probably knew that he was more proficient in tending to flowers and seedlings, but he didn't expect that he had done this kind of trading before.
"I probably know something. Xia Laohan laughed self-deprecatingly, after all, he did not raise the family business when he bought and sold this seedling, but harmed his own family, and the pain in his heart took most of his life to accept a little numerology.
"If I want to do something about it now, can you help me?"
Xiao Sier listened to Xia Laohan's past seedling trading, and knew that because he had no background, he suffered a lot of losses in business, his wife was affected by him, and he added a son who was not angry, and was used by the opponent, and finally demolished a good home alive, and even his children and grandchildren could not be saved, which was really unsettled.
"Ah......" Xia Laohan was stunned by Xiao Si'er's question, Miss Xiao asked him to help her with the seedling business?
"I'm going to do the seedling business, didn't you say that many seedlings are priceless in the market now? And you are very good at finding those valuable seedlings, I want you to help me find those rare flower and plant seedlings and sell them to those rich people in the capital." Xiao Sier explained with a slight smile.
"Ah......" After listening to Xiao Si'er's explanation, Xia Laohan was even more surprised, didn't Miss Xiao understand how he failed in this seedling business before......?
"Just help me with what you know, teach me by the way. Xiao Sier knew what he was thinking and smiled.
"Ah!" Xia Laohan understood this, his originally dry eyes suddenly soured, and he knelt straight down towards Xiao Si'er. "How can Xia Laohan He De meet a girl......"
In Xia Laohan's own opinion, he is obviously a wasted person, Xia Laohan never thought that when his life was over half a hundred, there would still be people willing to believe in the little tricks he had wasted his life, and he would be more willing to use these things of his own without scruples.
Xia Laohan felt that this was really something he had never thought of in his life, such a grace of knowing and encountering was really unforgettable, and besides, this person was also the life-saving benefactor of himself and his grandson, how could such a great and virtuous person be called to meet him? This must have been exchanged for how much high incense he burned in his previous life, right?
"Get up, hurry up, you kneel, how many years do I have to live less?" Xiao Sier was frightened and hurried to the old man of Laxia. (To be continued.) )
