Chapter Twenty-Nine: Flowers That Do Not Exist in the World
"Bamboo Bridge Restaurant"
Uncle Yang chose a Chinese restaurant, which is more in line with the taste of the public.
It was noon and there were a lot of people in the restaurant.
"Yunshan, this way!" Old Uncle Yang beckoned to Yunshan outside the window.
Yunshan walked in, and the air conditioner blew, taking away a trace of heat from his body.
The decoration of the hotel is full of retro atmosphere, the floor is paved with oily and shiny bamboo boards, and the surrounding decorations are mostly related to bamboo, which lives up to the name of "Bamboo Bridge Restaurant".
Old Uncle Yang was the host, and came over to give him a warm welcome: "Yunshan, what kind of food do you like to eat?" ”
"I don't pick my taste, you can do whatever you want!"
Yunshan didn't pick and choose to eat before, but now he eats spiritual vegetables every day, and his mouth is nourished, and ordinary dishes really feel tasteless to him, so he doesn't like it anymore.
"Then let's come to the hairy crab!" Old Uncle Yang instructed the waiter to write it down.
The scientific name of hairy crab is Chinese mitten crab, which is a well-known delicacy in China. It is widely distributed in lakes along the north and south coasts, among which the Yangtze River water system has the largest output, and the taste is extremely delicious. Among them, the hairy crab of Gucheng Lake is the most famous, which has always been known as the top of the crabs, and other more famous hairy crabs are Taihu Lake hairy crabs, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, Changdang Lake hairy crabs, etc.
Golden nine and silver ten, this is a good season to eat hairy crabs.
The crowds in the restaurant are also getting more and more crowded.
At this time, Uncle Yang sighed lightly: "It's a pity that Xingyun Restaurant didn't open a branch here." Otherwise, you will definitely step on the threshold. ”
"Is Nebula Catering popular?" Yun Shan asked.
"It used to be just ordinary, ordinary. But after only launching a vegetable called Lingcai some time ago, it was very popular, full from morning to night, and meals need to be booked in advance. ”
Old Uncle Yang smacked his lips as if he was reminiscing, and said, "The taste of that kind of spiritual vegetable is extremely delicious, and it tastes more refreshing than hairy crabs." I have to eat almost every day, but unfortunately Nebula Catering doesn't sell raw spiritual vegetables. Otherwise, I must buy a few hundred catties and store them at home. ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Yang sighed slightly, and then said; "I'm going to participate in the flower show during this time, it seems that I'm going to endure it for a long time, and when the flower show is over, I must go to Nebula Catering to eat for three days."
Yun Shan was very shocked in his heart, although he had long guessed that Lingcai would be very popular, but he didn't expect it to be so popular, no wonder Xingyun Catering now has to ask him to buy seventy or eighty thousand catties of Lingcai every day.
Hearing that Lingcai was so welcome, Yun Shan was also overjoyed.
However, seeing Old Uncle Yang's unstoppable look, Yun Shan felt funny in his heart and said with a smile: "Old Uncle Yang, if you want flowers for spiritual vegetables, I may be able to help you get a basket when the time comes."
"Really?" Old Uncle Yang was overjoyed and said, "That's really going to get rid of you, and it's not a problem to spend a little more money." ”
Yun Shan nodded, a basket of spiritual vegetables is dozens of hundreds of catties, it is nothing to him, and the other party took good care of him when he rented a house in the past, so he regarded it as a favor.
However, he didn't reveal that the source of those spiritual vegetables was himself, but used the excuse that he and the owner of Xingyun Catering were friends and could get some fresh spiritual vegetables.
"Old Yang Tou, what are you talking about? So happy! I'll come over as soon as I'm done. ”
In addition to Uncle Yang, there were several old men sitting at the same table, and it seemed that they should be friends of Uncle Yang.
A few people chose a window seat, and the restaurant faces the street, and through the clear glass, you can see the food court bustling with tourists.
"Come from Yunshan, let me introduce you." Old Uncle Yang smiled, "Don't look at Yun Shan's young age, but he is also a player, and he sold me that Maohuazhu flying saucer of mine." ”
"What? That Flying Saucer King was raised by him? ”
Several old men exclaimed, some didn't believe it, they had all seen the flying saucer of the hairy flower pillar, nearly three meters high, and it bloomed eleven giant flowers, absolutely rare, it was hard to imagine that a young man could raise such a good flower, ordinary young people don't play with potted plants much, let alone raise flowers.
"I usually like to raise some flowers and plants, and make some things by myself!" Yun Shan smiled indifferently, then looked at Old Uncle Yang and said, "Old Uncle Yang, last time I heard you say that you were going to compete with that cactus, how was the situation?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay!" Old Uncle Yang waved his hand, trying to pretend to be light-hearted, but the corners of his eyes couldn't hide the smile.
"Hmph, this old Yang Tou is proud this year, the hairy flower pillar flying saucer you helped him raise can properly get the title of this year's cactus king." An old man said with a sour face.
"Then congratulations to Uncle Yang!" Yun Shan laughed when he heard this, how could he say that the cactus was also planted by him, and he was very happy to hear that he could win the award.
"Where...... Where ......"
"Look at his sass! I can't get used to him! An old man said sourly, "You bought this flower from Yunshan, and you didn't raise it yourself, so what's so proud!" ”
"If you have the ability, you can buy it too." Lao Yang's face was full of smugness, both of them were old rivals, and he was in a happy mood when he saw each other eating deflated.
"Cut!"
The old man rolled his eyes, his eyes rolled slightly, a trace of cunning flashed, and he sighed: "Old Yang Tou, we have known each other for so many years, I didn't expect you to be so black-hearted, bullying the little brother of Yunshan who doesn't understand the market, if your Maohuazhu Flying Saucer King is only a green plant, it is about 100,000 yuan, but that Maohuazhu has eleven big flowers, especially the flower on the top is a meter in diameter, which is rare in the world, and its value has to be at least doubled!" You're not doing this kindly! ”
"This ......" Uncle Yang's face changed slightly, this Mao Huazhu Flying Saucer King was offered a price of 200,000 yuan to him this morning, if he wanted to sell it, it would definitely go up a lot. Looking at it this way, Yunshan did suffer a loss at the original price. But flowers and plants are the same as antiques, it is difficult to have a specific price, he is based on the price of the cactus king at last year's exhibition, although there is a small advantage in the mind, but definitely not intentionally to pit Yunshan.
"Hey! That's not what I said. Buying and selling this matter, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. On the contrary, I think I took advantage of it! And I'm not short of it. Yun Shan smiled and waved his hand.
As soon as these words came out, several people looked up at Yun Shan, originally thinking that Yun Shan was just a lucky boy, but now it seems that they still underestimated Yun Shan, not to mention anything else, just being able to look at 100,000 yuan so lightly, this is not something that ordinary people can do.
However, the old man who was in opposition to Lao Yang Tou grabbed the information in Yunshan's words, and said excitedly: "Little brother Yunshan, listen to what you mean, do you still have plants like the Maohuazhu Flying Saucer King?" ”
"Hmmm! I also like to grow flowers and plants, and it really makes me make a lot of good things. Yun Shan nodded, what he said was not a lie, he wanted to make a few more cactus kings in minutes.
"Little brother Yunshan, I usually like to plant Guanyin lotus, and I got a good tree some time ago, but unfortunately I raised it to death. I wonder if you have one? The old man asked in a whisper.
"Guanyin Lotus! Yes! Tomorrow it will be brought to you! Yun Shan nodded.
"Really? Thank you so much. Count me Lao Li owing you a favor. As long as you spend it well, I'm not short of money! Lao Li said excitedly.
Yun Shan smiled, turned his head to look at the other two old men, anyway, one favor is a gift, and three favors are also a gift, and asked, "I don't know what flowers you two like to raise?" ”
"I like to raise ice lantern Gyokuro!"
"I wonder if there is an Emerald Sedum King?"
"Yes, both. I'll bring it to you tomorrow! Yun Shan smiled.
The three of them are talking about succulents, none of which are precious species that can be bought on the market. Later, he will buy a few pots of seedlings and go back to urge them to grow, and bring them back tomorrow.
"Yunshan, originally I thought I had a high opinion of you, but now it seems that I am still far underestimated. It's a pity that there are a lot of flowers that shouldn't appear this year, otherwise your strength will definitely be able to show your brilliance. Old Uncle Yang sighed slightly and said with pity on his face.
Yun Shan listened to the sound and asked curiously: "Old Uncle Yang, what do you mean when you say that there are many flowers that should not appear?" ”
"You don't know?" Old Uncle Yang looked surprised.
The other old men also looked at each other and shook their heads.
Yun Shan smiled bitterly: "I just came from Pingming Island, I came late, I walked around the trading area in the morning, I basically don't know much about this flower show, and I really don't know what you mean." ”
"That's the case, some of the strange flowers that appeared in previous years are almost those precious varieties, such as precious national orchids and the like, which are basically expected, but this year is different, there are many flowers that almost do not exist in the world this year......" Uncle Yang paused in his tone, and said quietly: "Have you heard of the Yutan Borneo flower?" ”
Yun Shan shook his head, he didn't know much about flowers and plants.
Uncle Yang nodded, and said eloquently: "I also checked the information to learn some information, this flower is the Buddha of the Buddha, the tree behind him when he was enlightened, the flower is called the Youtan bowl or the Youtan Bora flower, referred to as the Youtan flower, also known as the "Lingrui flower".
Utamhara is a Sanskrit word that means Lingrui flower, empty flower, empty flower.
"How does it sound like a myth?" Yun Shan frowned slightly.
"Don't believe it, do you? I don't believe it either! ”
Old Uncle Yang smiled bitterly, "The "Fahua Verses" recorded: 'Those who are excellent in the epiphany, this word is Lingrui, and it appears once in three thousand years. In Buddhist scriptures, it is usually mentioned that the Utama flower is mostly to describe the extremely difficult to encounter the Buddha's birth, just as it is extremely difficult to encounter the Utama flower. In China, only Baoguang Temple has a Yutan Borak tree, which is said to have been planted by Bodhidharma when he crossed to the east, but it never bloomed. And this time, it is rumored that someone brought a Utama Bharata tree, and it was a flowering Utama Bharata tree. ”
"Is it on display?" Yunshan is interested, if there is really such a mythical Buddha tree, the value is absolutely immeasurable. I have the Heaven and Earth Ten Thousand Furnaces in my hand, and I may be able to get some gains from it.
Old Uncle Yang shook his head and said, "I heard that it was transported from Borneo, and it won't show up until tomorrow." ”
