Orchids are very interesting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
First of all, there are many varieties of orchids, there are thousands of species, which can be called the most diverse flowers and plants, and most of the orchids are cheap and quite common.
Secondly, it does not look obvious, when it is not blooming, how can it look, it is similar to weeds, even if it blooms, it is often not publicized, the color is not bright, and the fragrance of flowers is not strong.
Actually, it's a root grass, and it's also called orchid grass.
But that's it, many people are absolutely eager for it, and some people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in order to get a pot of treasures.
A few years ago, when the orchid was hot, there were tens of millions of rare treasures.
Countless people who eat melons express their incomprehension, no matter how good and beautiful the orchid is, it is just a root flower and grass, and it cannot be eaten or drunk, how can anyone be willing to spend such a large price to buy a pot of grass.
Most people summarize this as a local tyrant who is stupid and has a lot of money, is full of food and support, and has a sick brain.
Of course, orchid lovers will never admit this statement.
According to this statement, jade is just a stone, and it cannot be eaten or drunk, so why is it that some jade is worth tens of millions or even more than 100 million, but people often accept it, but orchids should be despised?
In the same way, there are pearls, diamonds, and even antiques, which are of astonishing value.
In this way, it is impossible to explain clearly, because this is indeed the principle, so many things in the world, if they are all judged by eating and drinking, it will become very boring.
In fact, there is one word that can explain this phenomenon: idiot.
There are many idiots in the world, some people are obsessed with jade, some people are obsessed with books, some people are obsessed with eating, and naturally some people are obsessed with orchids.
Once people become obsessed with something, they will naturally be willing to do whatever it takes.
There is such a sentence in the orchid wreath, if you like it, you should be a treasure, and if you don't like it, you should be a grass.
Yes, Dong Shi is also a beautiful girl, not eye-catching, Xi Shi is a green tea.
It's hard to buy a favorite.
People who can come to the flower and bird market to visit, of course, are interested in flowers and plants, even if they can't reach the level of stupidity, but they love it after all.
Therefore, when I suddenly heard that an old flower farmer wanted to sell a pot of mutant orchids, the crowd immediately surged and surrounded the road.
I saw a pot of strange-looking orchids in front of the flower farmer.
The leaves are like soft swords, and there are circles of white edges in the turquoise, which is quite peculiar.
There are two flower branches stretched out in the middle, with buds waiting to be released, like a girl shy, and there is fragrance in the secret.
Many people who know flowers put it down and start talking.
"Good flower, this orchid leaf has white edges, it is a typical compound wheel art, only this one, Ye Yi is there." Uncle Yi praised.
"But it's not, I just don't know what this floral arrangement will be like when the flowers are fully blooming." Another uncle said.
"It's hard to say, if it was the double art of leaves and flowers, it would have been sent to the flower show a long time ago, and it wouldn't appear here."
"It's really that good, how much should it cost?"
"I'm afraid it's a lot."
Xu Qing listened to it and understood a little, before the old man in the family died, he also raised a pot of orchids, although it was an ordinary variety, but it was not a good treasure.
The orchid was a pot of gentleman's orchid, which he later planted next to the old man's grave.
The old man likes to nag when he takes care of the flowers, and he nagged a lot, so he also knows a little about it.
The so-called leaf art and floral art refer to the artistic embodiment of orchid leaves and flowers, which is an important indicator to measure the value of an orchid.
The crowd outside was discussing, and the old flower farmer sat there with a small horse, neither calling for buying, nor talking, not showing the mountains and water, steady and unaffected.
Everyone didn't dare to underestimate it, don't look at this little old man who looks shabby, his clothes are simple, and there is a little mud on his trouser legs, but who knows if he is a low-key tyrant.
These people who care for flowers and plants often take out a pot of precious flowers and plants, and they will pay other people's salaries for ten years.
Finally, a young man couldn't hold back: "Uncle, how do you offer a price for this flower?" ā
The old flower farmer glanced at him: "Don't ask, you can't afford it." ā
The little young man's face suddenly turned a little red: "Then you have to have a price, how do you know that I can't afford it." ā
"Fifty thousand starts."
Xiao Young suddenly choked, he really couldn't afford it, if he could take out five thousand, fifty thousand, that is, cut meat.
Fifty thousand! Seeing that the old man finally got to the bottom of it, a few intentional hearts around him had a number, and they immediately pondered.
As for the people who eat melons, they are in an uproar.
"Wow, 50,000, so expensive!"
"It's rare and weird, and now the orchid market is sluggish, and if you want to put it aside for a few years, at least add a zero!"
"Yes, at that time, a better pot of orchids could be exchanged for a house."
"So crazy?"
"Otherwise, some people fry orchids until they jump off the building."
Xu Qing was silent when he heard it, sure enough, the world of local tyrants is not something we can understand, take the house and exchange it for a pot of grass.
Looking at the scene in front of him, for a while, people couldn't disperse, Xu Qing simply parked the car to the side, and then walked into a flower shop next to it.
The boss was stepping at the door and looking over there, with a look of envy, and muttering: "This old man is lucky, why haven't I encountered such a good flower, I have gone up the mountain so many times, and I have not gained anything at all." ā
Valuable orchids, basically those mutated varieties, rare and expensive, and mutated varieties are rare, often tens of thousands of plants, are not necessarily out of one, many people go to the mountains to look for varieties of orchids, ten days and half a month without harvest is very normal.
The shopkeeper only paid attention to the excitement next to him, and he didn't even pay attention to Xu Qing entering the store.
Xu Qing slipped away, saw the Junzi Orchid he was looking for, and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this orchid?" ā
The boss turned his head and replied casually, "Two hundred and five." ā
Xu Qing: "......"
Such a dead price, boss, are you sure you are serious?
"It's expensive." Xu Qing said quietly.
But it's expensive, it's just the most ordinary gentleman's orchid, not even flowers, twenty-five is about the same.
"Oh?" The boss looked like you didn't know the goods, "See clearly, this is Xiashan Lan, of course it's more expensive." ā
The downhill orchid refers to a wild orchid that has just been dug up from the mountain.
However, even if you are a downhill orchid, it is not worth the price, there are more orchids on the mountain, and it is worth this number to dig any plant, so the orchid has long been extinct.
"Thirty." Xu Qing spit out a number.
Oh, the boss looked back, looked at the other party's calm expression, and knew that he was not stunned, and his face finally straightened.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Thirty is cheap, my flower pot costs ten yuan, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, you can add more." ā
In the end, Xu Qing bought the pot of orchids for forty yuan, and the old flower farmer also had results.
An old man in Tang costume holding a birdcage in his hand bid for the pot of Hui Xinlan for 80,000 yuan, which greatly satisfied the hearts of the people who ate melons to watch the excitement.
After the excitement stopped, the crowd naturally dispersed, and Xu Qing put Junzilan on his tricycle, walked out of the flower and bird market, and went to school.
On the way, I passed through an open road, and when there was no one around, I pushed the tricycle into the grove next to me as if I was peeing, and when I came out again, only the little turtle and the orchid were left in the car, and the fry and seeds were gone.
