Ask for collections, ask for recommendations

One night, when Fang Lu was reading a book in his room, his cousin Zhao Jing suddenly broke in and said, "Xiao Fangzi, don't go to the store tomorrow morning, accompany me to the flower, bird, fish and insect market." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"What are you doing at the flower, bird, fish and insect market?" Fang Lu asked with some surprise.
"Dad promised to buy me a pet dog, and he will take me to the flower, bird, fish and insect market tomorrow." My cousin said actually.
Fang Lu felt very strange and asked, "Cousin, why do you suddenly want to have a pet dog?" β
"Xiao Fangzi, don't you think pet dogs are cute, it's fun." The cousin explained.
"Cut, do you think I believe it, I don't know what kind of person you are." Fang Lu still doesn't know her cousin, she is a person who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, if there is no benefit, can she buy a pet dog, taking care of a pet dog requires patience and carefulness, can she be patient and careful enough for her cousin?
"You have a lot to do, you don't want to accompany me or not." The cousin snorted twice, and then said viciously. She wouldn't tell Fang Lu because she was stimulated by her pet dog when she was playing with her best friend, and came back to pester her father to ask him to buy it for herself. If Fang Lu knew, he wouldn't laugh at himself.
As soon as he saw his cousin like this, Fang Lu knew that if he didn't agree, his cousin would definitely use violent means to make him obey, so Fang Lu hurriedly said, "Go, go, I'll accompany you tomorrow." β
"Uh-huh, that's right." The cousin hummed out of Fang Lu's room like a little hen that had won a battle.
Fang Lu looked at his cousin who walked out, shook his head, and then continued to read.
The next morning, when Fang Lu was sleeping, there was a violent sound of slamming the door, and there was a burst of "Fang Lu is up" sounds. Fang Lu opened the door with sleepy eyes, and the moment he opened the door, he was almost hit by his cousin's fist.
Fang Lu asked in a daze, "My sister Jing is here, what time is it?" You still don't let people sleep, if you have anything to say, I still want to sleep. β
"What are you sleeping, Xiao Fangzi, don't you look at it It's already six o'clock now, the sun has already come out, and what you promised yesterday, I forgot about it this night." The cousin said in an unkind tone.
Seeing his cousin like this, Fang Lu's sleepiness disappeared directly, and he remembered that he promised his cousin to accompany her to the flower, bird, fish and insect market to buy a pet dog last night. Fang Lu hurriedly said, "Oh, Sister Jing, I remembered, I'll wash up and get dressed right away." β
"Mmmm, that's right, Xiao Fangzi, I'm waiting for you downstairs." After saying that, my cousin turned around and went downstairs.
Fang Lu went back, quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and went downstairs.
After he went downstairs, only his cousin was sitting on the sofa, and Fang Lu asked directly, "Why are you the only one?" What about aunts and brothers-in-law? β
"I haven't gotten up yet." Cousin said.
"I haven't gotten up yet, how can we go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market without my cousin, cousin, why did you tell me to get up so early," Fang Lu wailed.
"What's the matter, it's good to go to bed early and get up early, and you still say this and that, go with me to buy it early." Cousin said.
Fang Lu had no choice but to succumb to the power, and accompanied his cousin to the breakfast stall to buy fried dough sticks, soy milk, and steamed buns. When I came back, my cousin-in-law had already gotten up, and when I saw Zhao Jing and Fang Lu, who had come back early, they asked, "Fang Lu, why did you get up so early, did Xiao Jing tell you to get up." β
When Fang Lu just wanted to answer yes, he saw his cousin glaring at him viciously and directly choked back the words that came to his mouth, and then said, "No, brother-in-law, isn't it summer this day, it's starting to get hot, so wake up early." β
"Oh, so that's the case, Xiao Jing bring it over early, let's go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market after eating early, that place is a little far from here." My cousin-in-law said.
"Mmmm, hurry up and eat and leave early." My cousin hurriedly put the breakfast on the table, and after eating breakfast, my cousin's husband said to my cousin, and then led Fang Lu and Zhao Jing to drive to the flower, bird, fish and insect market.
The flower, bird, fish and insect market is located in the southern suburbs of Jinlin City, and the flowers, plants, and various ornamental animals of the entire Jinlin are concentrated in this place, which is very lively.
After driving for an hour to the flower, bird, fish and insect market, my cousin-in-law did not stop at the door and walked directly inside, and came to a shop called "Famous Flowers and Trees". β
At this time, a voice came from inside the store, "Dahua, what are you shouting, I'm not deaf." Then Fang Lu saw a middle-aged man in his forties walk out.
"Dahua, what are you kid shouting about, I'm not yet fifty, what an old grandson. By the way, what kind of bonsai do you want to get when you came here today? The old man said.
"Old Sun, pick me a good bonsai, I plan to give it to our district education director." My cousin-in-law said.
"You are giving a gift again, Secretary of Education, then give this pot of Junzi Orchid. Junzi orchid, named Junzi plant, its plant is elegant and handsome, has a gentleman's demeanor, flowers such as orchid, and got its name. It has the meaning of "noble", "precious" and "gentlemanly", which is very suitable for you to send. The old man said.
"Okay, just buy him." My cousin-in-law said.
The two of them chatted there, forgetting Fang Lu and Zhao Jing directly, and Zhao Jing angrily found a place to sit.
Fang Lu was wandering around the store, he looked at it and found that the price of the flower bonsai in this store was so high, any pot was hundreds, comparable to a month's salary of an ordinary worker, the more Fang Lu looked at it, the more he felt that ideas came out of his mind.
At this time, he saw his cousin-in-law take out his wallet and prepare to pay the bill, and said, "Old grandson, the price of your bonsai has risen again, this has more than doubled compared to last year, you want me 4,000 yuan for a pot of orchids, we are friends, don't kill me." β
"Surnamed Zhao, am I that kind of person? Do you want to show you the price, this is 6,000 yuan, and I will earn hard money if I charge you 4,000 yuan. Lao Sun said angrily.
"I'll go, the price is 6,000 yuan, you want to make money, you want to go crazy, is anyone going to buy it at such a high price?." My cousin-in-law said.
"Don't look at the high price, there are really a lot of people who buy it. Recently, I don't know who started to fry the price of flower bonsai all of a sudden, and this pot of Junzi Orchid is a relatively high-grade flower, and it has only tripled. Like those ordinary low-end flower bonsai, the price has only doubled a lot, and in the past, more than a dozen or twenty bonsai could be sold for eighty or ninety yuan, more than one hundred yuan. I regret that I didn't buy a batch of goods when the price was low last year, or I could have made a lot of money at this high price. Lao Sun said.
"Old Sun, don't think about it, you make a lot of money now, can this price last if it's so abnormal?" My cousin-in-law asked.
"It's hard to say, as long as people in the industry know that this price must be speculated, and no one can say how long it can last. I don't dare to participate casually, now I am buying in small quantities, and the price of the province suddenly fell to lose my hand. If I get involved, it's not good to have a lot of stockpiling on the plate, and I don't want to be the one who picks up the plate. Lao Sun said.
"Yes, the risk caused by this human factor is too great, let's do our own business safely." My cousin-in-law said.
Hearing this, Fang Lu suddenly brightened, and he remembered something.
He remembered that in the second year of high school, his cousin's family went back to ZY City to see his grandfather, Fang Lu's family raised two pots of pomegranate bonsai, and his cousin-in-law talked about bonsai after seeing it, and then said that he regretted it at the time, in 2000, in the southern part of Huainan Province, Jiangnan Province, Shen City suddenly rose a burst of bonsai fever, that year the price of bonsai was speculated by a group of speculators more than ten times, and it was in short supply, which was very terrifying. At that time, Huaibei Province was not affected by the price of bonsai or the original price, and when Huaibei Province received the news, this bonsai fever had collapsed because it was too high, and the price of bonsai in the three places returned to the level of 2000 after three years.
Fang Lu's family is in Huaibei, ZY City sells bonsai also has a lot of families, he and Fang Lu's family are so closely connected because they are not in the bonsai industry, so they didn't get the news, such a good condition missed the great opportunity to make a fortune because of the poor news, if he knew the situation in Huaibei Province at that time, taking advantage of the bonsai fever in those months, buy low and sell high can make a lot of money.
Fang Lu was very excited when he thought of this, why did he only think of this now, this is a great opportunity to make a fortune, if he seizes this opportunity to buy goods from his hometown ZY City at a low price, and transport them here to sell, he will not add two zeros to his 80,000 yuan a few times.
Fang Lu thought of this and wanted to go over directly to inquire about the situation, but he was afraid that his cousin-in-law would see him asking this and that, so he could only wait for the day after tomorrow to come to the flower, bird, fish and insect market to inquire.
After buying the bonsai, the cousin-in-law chatted with the old grandson for a while and left, leading Fang Lu and his cousin to a place that sold pet dogs and choosing pet dogs for his cousin.
The cousin changed her listlessness just now and began to happily pull Fang Lu and pick it up.
Fang Lu shook his head, no longer thinking about bonsai, everything will be investigated by himself tomorrow, and he began to comment on the pet dogs with his cousin.
"This one is too small."
"It's not a pretty color"
"This one isn't cute enough"
"This doesn't feel very smart"
After tossing for a long time, Fang Lu's head began to hurt, and his cousin finally chose a six-month-old pure white Labrador. Then I found my cousin-in-law who was sitting next to him and asked him to pay.
It took more than two hours, 200 pieces of ocean finally got my cousin's pet dog, returned to the car and sat directly in the car, the woman is crazy, it is a great mistake to accompany my cousin to choose a pet dog, but today Fang Lu also found a great opportunity, but whether this opportunity can be seized by himself, everything has to wait for his own investigation tomorrow, and after the investigation, he has to find a chance to go home to know the news of his hometown.
