Chapter 12 Breaking Wealth, Breaking Wealth
The newly renovated house always lacks a little bit of life, and it seems very deserted, and Zhang Yiyi doesn't like to go into those very deserted shops when he goes shopping. In the previous life, you can also put some music to add some atmosphere, but here, you can only ask someone to play the piano and sing, which is too expensive and not cost-effective.
Zhang Yiyi stood in front of the store, looking at the decoration of the store, and then thinking back to those shops in his previous life. “…… In the previous life, there would be some ...... in the corner of the store Ah, yes, plants. "Nature is a vibrant atmosphere.
Zhang Yiyi went into the store again, and the small shop couldn't hold many potted plants, probably a lucky tree at the door, and a small pot of flowers on the cabinet was almost enough. I couldn't help thinking about it, Zhang Yiyi closed the door of the store, asked the owner of the nearby shop where there were potted plants for sale, and rushed over in a hurry.
The place where potted plants are sold is generally relatively quiet, Zhang Yiyi is a little lost, this street is mostly a private courtyard, and there are no people walking, go inside for a while, only to see a courtyard with an open gate, a few stumps of bonsai are placed at the door, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the posture is beautiful, and it is gratifying.
Zhang Yiyi stood in front of the courtyard and finally found it, although there was no signboard, but the wide open courtyard gate and the green trees and red flowers in the yard were enough to prove this. Zhang Yiyi walked into the courtyard with her skirt, and there was an old man in the courtyard who was drinking tea and reading a book, and when he saw Zhang Yiyi, he just said, "Just take a look."
The plants in the yard are messy, the grass and flowers are mixed with the stumps, and they are not classified, but they make people feel a trace of artistic conception for no reason, standing in the center of this greenery, and the footsteps are unconsciously light, Zhang Yiyi thought, it is not a pleasure to live in such a yard.
It's early spring, and there aren't too many flowers in bloom, Zhang Yiyi doesn't plan to buy the flowers that are blooming, and the flowers that can bloom in early spring and January and February are either too big or not good-looking; Second, the flowering period is too short, and it will wither at once. Zhang Yiyi turned around and found that most of the potted plants here cater to the preferences of those who read, mostly plums, bamboo chrysanthemums, etc., and some peonies, begonias, hibiscus, etc., suitable for backyard women.
Zhang Yiyi just added a little vitality to the store, so he specially looked for those stump potted plants that looked vigorous with lush leaves, and finally planned to pick a lucky tree to put in the corner of the door, and pick a gentleman's orchid that was about to bloom and put it on the counter. The lucky tree picked by Zhang Yiyi is plain, but it is better than the branches, only thigh-high, and the size is appropriate; And the name of Zhaocai is simple and crude. Junzi Orchid caters to the tastes of those literati, and putting a pot of Junzi Orchid in the shop can definitely raise the style to a higher level.
After choosing a potted plant, Zhang Yiyi asked the old man about the price. The old man put down the book in his hand, his eyes only glanced at the direction of Zhang Yiyi's pointing, and the two words "six taels" were revealed in the gap of his mouth, so he picked up the book in his hand and continued to read.
Six taels !! Zhang Yiyi bought a donkey cart at this price. Sure enough, not everyone can be elegant.
Zhang Yiyi opened his mouth, wanting to bargain like before, but in such an elegant place, in front of an old man with such a high style, he felt that talking about money was vulgar, as if he was uncomfortable all of a sudden. In the past, Zhang Yiyi was most afraid of this kind of person, for orphans like her who were crawling at the bottom of society, those high-ranking children from scholarly families were as far away as creatures from another world. When I was in college, once Zhang Yiyi was almost late for class because of a part-time job, and rushed to the school gate while nibbling on the soup dumplings bought on the roadside, but I didn't pay attention to the buns because they were too hot for a while, and they hit the flower that had just gotten off a luxury car, and the soup on the soup bag splashed on people's bodies, Zhang Yiyi knew that the clothes of the flower were exclusively customized by famous designers, and he was so frightened that he apologized again and again. There were a lot of people around the school gate, Zhang Yiyi was wearing clothes from the stall, and took out a crumpled web paper from his trouser pocket to wipe the tens of thousands of yuan of high-end skirt, and the owner of the skirt did not blame, just gently blocked Zhang Yiyi's hand, said it was okay and turned back to the car, Zhang Yiyi took the web paper, listened to the undisguised discussions of the surrounding students, except for trembling hands, there was no reaction.
It's all in the past, Zhang Yiyi, who has experienced everything, has not left any shadow, but when he meets this kind of person, Zhang Yiyi always can't hold up the momentum, looking at the two pots of plants he selected, thinking that he is not without money, he silently took out six taels of silver and put it next to the old man's coffee table, and didn't dare to ask if he could help with the delivery, so he left with two pots of plants.
I regretted it when I walked out of the door, Junzilan was not big, and the beckoning tree was not small, but she didn't dare to turn back and ask the old man if he could deliver the goods, anyway, she didn't have to care about the image of a woman when she went out, like a peasant woman in the mountains, she directly put Junzilan on the flower pot of the beckoning tree, and walked away with both hands. Fortunately, it is not far from the intersection, and when the time comes, you can find a kid to help you get a pot of sugar gourds.
finally brought these two pots of elegant things back to the shop, "I'm really tired." Zhang Yiyi threw her arms regardless of the image, although later she was just holding a small pot of Junzi Orchid, but this body was really powerless, just holding the two pots of plants to the intersection, her hands were already shaking, and she could barely move even a pot of Junzi Orchid in the back, it was really too weak. However, with these two potted plants in the shop, it is much more comfortable all of a sudden.
Zhang Yiyi looked at it a few times inside and out, and finally nodded with satisfaction, and then added some utensils to open the store.
Zhang Yiyi looked at the time, it was not yet Xiaoliang's time to get out of school, so he planned to go to West Street to see, the food in the snack bar Zhang Yiyi had already thought about it, and then he had to buy all the seasonings he needed, and the kitchenware in the shop was not yet there. While thinking about the things he bought, he carefully closed the door, Zhang Yiyi touched the seriously shrunken purse, and slowly walked towards West Street.
Zhang Yiyi came to West Street, and suddenly his spirit was raised, he was not thin, and his purse was not small, so he raised his feet and strode towards the place where pots and pans were sold. Because it had already been sold when he bought furniture for his home, Zhang Yiyi began to bargain for the price.
"Uncle, how much is your bowl?" Zhang Yiyi picked up a small bowl with green glaze painted with peony flowers, and was very satisfied, this bowl looked very elegant, and it was most popular with the girls and ladies.
The man who sold things was a man in his forties, the first time he saw such a beautiful girl, holding his own bowl, smiling, he was stunned for a while, until the girl did not respond, and asked again, the man reacted, and suddenly blushed, he was a grandfather, how could he still look at a little girl in a daze, he was really panicked.
"One, one hundred wen a bowl."
"What? A bowl of 100 wen? Uncle, you're robbing. Zhang Yiyi was happy when he saw such a satisfactory bowl, and when he heard the price, he almost dropped the bowl.
