Chapter 63. Hybrids
The next treasure is Liu Manjiang, known as the "Kao", this guy who keeps the traitor's head is separated, but he is an out-and-out "nymphomaniac", obsessed with planting flowers and raising flowers, grafting, and cultivating new varieties.
However, the treasure he gave this time lacked novelty, and it turned out to be just a "monkey orchid".
Orchids, like Pu'er, are also things that have been fried in the past, and this Liu Manjiang still took it out to sell, and it looks like it's out of line. After all, in the past few years, he has been busy frying garlic, running to collect garlic, and running to raise prices, and it is estimated that even he has almost forgotten whether he is planting flowers or vegetables.
What's more, this "monkey orchid" belongs to the "foreign orchid" variety, which is not comparable to the national orchid in terms of price.
You must know that the most valuable orchids in the orchid industry are all national orchids, which are native orchids in China, which are different from foreign orchids such as phalaenopsis. 80% of Guolan has no seeds, and can only be propagated by tillering, so it is rare and precious, and tens of thousands of them are cheap. It is said that last year's orchid festival in Shuzhong, the most expensive 700,000. was bought by a boss in the south, and it is said that this person sold it for 1 million.
But when the "Monkey Orchid" really came out, Xu Haoming, Zhu Fatzi and others couldn't help but be amazed, with a look of surprise on their faces.
It is said that this orchid is a rare "demon flower" in the world, like a human, like an insect, like a duck, like a finch, and even like a ghost.
It turns out that the part of this orchid that looks like a monkey face and a "monkey mouth" is the lip petal of the small dragon orchid, and the part like the three large petals is actually the sepal, and the part that looks like the monkey's forehead and nose is the stamens and columns.
At this moment, the bouquet of orchids offered by Liu Manjiang is called "Sun Dasheng Descends to Earth", which is different from ordinary monkey orchids, and the backbone of this bouquet of orchids is actually a national orchid!
How can it be?
Anyone who knows a little bit about orchids knows that the monkey orchid should be a foreign orchid, why is the backbone a national orchid? Could it be a string?!
Seeing the surprise on the big guy's face, Liu Manjiang proudly combed the middle hair on his head with his hand, and said: "I think everyone has seen that this is a monkey orchid, but it is a new variety that I cultivated with national orchids, not those foreign orchids!" ”
"You must know that the breeding methods of the orchid and the national orchid are different, and the orchid has high requirements for the climate, and the general monkey orchid is difficult to cultivate in China, and even if it is raised, it is difficult to feed. But this strain is different, because I have cultivated a new type of national orchid through guò unique cultivation technology, which not only maintains the unique fragrance of the national orchid itself, but also retains the unique flower color of the orchid, which can be said to be a unique new orchid! The more Liu Manjiang spoke, the more excited he became, his face was red, and his eyes were bloodshot, "I can pat my chest and pack the ticket, and the whole country is just me, and there is no second one!" ”
Xu Haoming, Zhu Fatzi, and Ma Dongcheng and others all listened carefully, except for Lin Yi.
To be honest, Lin Yi really didn't have much research on orchids, he only occasionally saw some introductions about orchids in books, and it seemed that ancient literati and ink writers liked things like plum orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, etc.
It's a pity that as a commoner, Lin Yi rarely comes into contact with this high-end orchid variety, even if he visits those flower and bird markets, the orchids he sees are more than a dozen or hundreds of yuan. But Lin Yi also knows a little bit that Guolan pays attention to Qingyuan and nobility, and the fragrance overflows, and is loved by gentlemen; The orchid seems to be heavy in color but not heavy, floating in the appearance of flowers, and its appearance looks a little bewitching.
This Liu Manjiang ingeniously combined two orchids together, just like tying up a lady and a beautiful girl to create such a hybrid variety, and he was so jubilant, it can really be described as "going crazy".
Maybe it's because the distance is too close, just when Lin Yi was thinking in his heart, the aroma of the hybrid orchid overflowing came to his nose.
Lin Yi itself has a scholarly aura, which attracts those who have spirituality the most, and orchids, which are the best flowers, are no exception; Therefore, this bouquet of orchids is like an ignorant girl who has been seduced, involuntarily echoing with the aura exhaled from Lin Yi's nose, and with the ups and downs of Lin Yi's nose, the orchid also swayed gently, like the wind blowing wheat waves, full of wonderful dynamics.
At first, Lin Yi could bear it, but as his nose became more and more acute, the smell of the hybrid orchid became more and more intense - like the elegant smell of a girl, mixed with the strong smell of rouge of a worldly woman, the two different flavors were mixed together, making Lin Yi's sensitive nose itch-
Here Liu Manjiang touted that his orchids had reached a state of getting carried away, foaming at the mouth, boasting, saying how precious this flower is, so rare, how rare, put it on the market for auction, at least worth more than two million, especially these monkey-like flowers, each of which is worth a thousand gold......
Before Liu Manjiang finished saying these words, he heard a "sneeze", but when he saw the orchid he was holding in his arms, which was regarded as a treasure, all of a sudden, the petals were scattered, and the ground was full of red!
How can it be?!
Liu Manjiang's face was incredulous-
Looking at Lin Yi again, his face was slightly red, his expression was embarrassed, he rubbed his nose very innocently, and said, "I'm sorry, I just sneezed just now." ”
……
Lin Yi never imagined that the hybrid orchid that breathed the spiritual energy exhaled with his nose would suddenly fall petals because of one of his own sneezes, and the flowers fell all over the ground.
The biggest selling point of this orchid is that the flowers are beautiful, like a monkey's face, but the monkey's face is all on the ground, and only the bare pole is left.
Liu Manjiang was resentful, aggrieved, and aggrieved, how could such a thing happen? It's just a sneeze, and it's not a level 10 typhoon, how can your orchid be finished? Could it be that the miscellaneous varieties that he has worked so hard to cultivate are so weak and weak?
Although Liu Manjiang was very angry, he had no reason to blame Lin Yi, to be precise, he did not have real evidence to prove that the loss of his precious orchid was related to Lin Yi's sneezing.
Sneezing and crippling Lao Tzu's flowers, say it, who will believe it!
Everyone didn't believe it, they just thought it was a coincidence.
Sneezes and falling flowers couldn't be more clever.
In the end, it was the boss Xu Tianming who saw Liu Manjiang's face full of sorrow and comforted him: "I'll give you 500,000 yuan for this flower!" ”
It's a consolation prize.
Liu Manjiang, what else can you say.
Now in this world, selling orchids is really not as good as frying garlic, it is difficult to make money!
