Chapter Seventy-Three: Qingqing's Daughter Red
Chapter Seventy-Three: Qingqing's Daughter Red
The last time I came to the mountains, it seemed to be autumn, and when I came back from Hong Kong Island, the north was already full of winter, but in the Yaowang Valley deep in the mountains, it was much warmer than outside.
It's just that the mountain gate is still dilapidated, and the fallen leaves cover both sides of the stone steps, and there are only two small Taoist priests in single clothes, who are slowly cleaning the fallen leaves with a weak breath, and occasionally raise their heads and smile and chat, which seems to be really a little leisurely.
Seeing Yunxiu and Zhao Yili coming up the mountain, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, calling him uncle, it turned out that although these little Taoist children were earlier than Zhao Yili, they were just apprentices taught by the senior brother and the second senior brother, and according to such a generation, they should be called Uncle Zhao Yili.
Walking up the stone steps, the little sister in front of her swayed her shoulders gently, and under the shaking of her waist, her steps were light like a jumping in the mountains and forests.
Dragging the big box brought back by the senior sister and the gifts he bought for the master and brothers, Zhao Yili was like a big dumbbell with both hands, and followed behind the senior sister step by step.
Perhaps because of the perennial practice, and the girl's natural love for beauty, she only wore a fur on her upper body, and her slender figure matched a Chanel suit very well. The close-fitting little skirt clings to the round buttocks that have already begun to develop, and it firmly attracts Zhao Yili's attention with a shake, so that Zhao Yili can't see it, and it shouldn't be if he doesn't look at it, it should be said that if he is just an adolescent teenager, it will be fine, but what if it is precisely this teenager's body that still contains a 30-year-old man's slightly evil soul?
The little senior sister who seemed to be aware of it occasionally turned around, glared at the little junior brother fiercely with her eyes, and then quickened her pace.
Fortunately, the two of them soon walked the stone steps in front of the mountain gate, otherwise if they continued to walk, maybe Zhao Yili would really be tempted by the little senior sister to turn into a werewolf on a full moon night.
It is said that the current season in the mountains should also be winter, but in the eyes of the two people, the season inside is instead with the progress of the footsteps, the deeper you go into the Taoist temple, the higher the temperature.
When the last two people came to the door of the main hall, Zhao Yili had already taken off his coat and held it on his arm.
Slowly the door opened, and the three senior brothers nodded with a smile in turn, revealing the strange master who was smiling and chanting above the main hall.
Yunxiu and Zhao Yili hurriedly greeted the master and brothers, and after greetings, after everyone sat down, Yunxiu took the roll call, Zhao Yili opened the box, and gave everyone the gifts brought back from Hong Kong Island one by one.
On the old man's side, the two discussed before leaving Hong Kong, and bought a set of Tang costumes and top hats with a strong sense of heaviness suitable for the master, and the old man looked at this set of clothes that were very popular in the thirties, stroked the beard under his chin and nodded with a smile.
The gifts of the three senior brothers are also similar, life on the mountain is hard, and in terms of living habits, many modern things are not used by the senior brothers, so the gifts given to them are basically clothes.
Soon the water was already boiling, and the third senior brother began to show his tea art again, and during the time of drinking tea, Yunxiu used a lark-like voice to briefly describe the journey to Hong Kong Island.
Yunxiu's statement is divided into two paragraphs.
The first paragraph is to describe how Uncle Xu cleaned up Zhao Shishi. It also describes how the two of them persisted in a month of special training under the hellish training of their uncle.
The second paragraph is what I saw and heard on Hong Kong Island, how to understand the world of flowers and flowers with the rapid development of human civilization in the modern city from the perspective of Yunxiu. The whole process was sometimes abstract and sometimes concrete, which opened the eyes of a few senior brothers who had been practicing for many years but rarely went down the mountain.
There are usually two meals on the mountain, and when dinner begins to be prepared, the Taoist boy on duty at the gate hurriedly came in and reported that there were about dozens of people outside the mountain gate, all carrying flat burdens on their shoulders, saying that they were looking for Uncle Zhao.
Zhao Yili stood up when he heard the sound and said to the master: "Master, the person I arranged it. ”
Yun Xiu leaned over and asked with a smile, "Why are you calling so many people up the mountain, do you want to send us a box lunch?" ”
It seemed that he didn't hear the little sister's joking question, Zhao Yili touched his nose and didn't answer.
The angry Yunxiu suddenly came up, came up and grabbed Zhao Yili's ear with his right hand, pinched his waist with his left hand, and roared impatiently: "Hurry up, or the ear will be used for wine!" ”
Zhao Yili looked at the little senior sister's appearance, she was really serious, and hurriedly admitted defeat and said: "Okay, okay, senior sister let go, let go, I said it's not okay?" ”
It turned out that during a chance conversation with Shen Yao, Aunt Shen's inadvertent sentence stimulated Zhao Yili and suddenly remembered that before his rebirth, in the mid-80s, in the flower market in the north, the Junzilan Orchid that had swept the market was in turmoil.
Orchid is a wildflower in southern Africa and later introduced to Europe and Japan. In the 30s of the 20th century, Japan gave this flower to Puyi and planted it as a precious flower in the Puppet Palace Garden. It is rarely cultivated by the people.
In the mid-40s of the last century, Junzi Orchid gradually spread to the whole country from Chuncheng and other places. In the mid-80s, Chuncheng Junzilan was once hyped. Industry insiders estimated afterwards that considering the level of purchasing power at that time, the average difference from the real market price to the market's speculation price at the peak of the price speculation was dozens of times.
In this incident, the orchid was originally an ordinary ornamental flower, but it can be said to be closely related to the domestic political and economic market at that time.
In the 60s, orchids were considered poisonous weeds. Raising orchids, especially Junzi Orchid, is bourgeois ideological, and buying and selling Junzi Orchid is considered to take the road of capitalism.
After 78 years, people who had just ended the catastrophe and lived a regular life suddenly found that in the early 80s, the market was in short supply, and the price of Junzi Orchid went all the way up. The price of a pot of orchids is often several times, or even more than ten times of the monthly income.
Around 1978, Chuncheng began to have a market for buying and selling Junzi Orchid. Many elderly Chuncheng people summed up the original Junzilan complex: Junzilan, with a loud name and high ornamental value. But its core charm lies in the huge market potential.
In fact, as early as the early 80s, the market was in short supply, and the price of Junzi Orchid went all the way up. The price of a pot of orchids is often several times or even more than ten times the monthly income of Changchun people.
The rising prices have caught the attention of the government. In 1982, Chuncheng issued a "price limit order" for Junzi Orchid, stipulating that the price of a pot of Junzi Orchid should not exceed 200 yuan. However, this time the price limit did not achieve good results, because soon after a popular exhibition of Junzi Orchid in the city, the government saw the enthusiasm of the people and the market for Junzi Orchid in Chuncheng, so in the next 85 years, Junzi Orchid was set as the city flower of Chuncheng, so that the original price limit was gone.
Soon, it was rumored that when walking on a random street in Chuncheng, the capital city of northern province, with a pot of Junzi Orchid, the price of a pot of Junzi Orchid would rise three times when he walked from the street to the end of the street. As the tide rose, the people began to speculate on a large scale, which was called "green gold bars". The most exaggerated thing is that it is said that someone once exchanged a high-end car for a special gentleman's orchid in the hands of a citizen, and the person did not agree, thinking that there was still room for price increases, which shows how crazy the market had to be at that time.
At Kai Tak Airport, when bidding farewell to Si Shuangshuang, Zhao Yili entrusted Shuangshuang and Aunt Shen to return home, and through the relationship between the Si family, he purchased 50,000 special gentleman orchid seedlings, paid a price of 500,000 yuan, and then set his sights on the back mountain of Yaowang Valley, which is suitable for cultivating orchids.
The area is vast, the climate is suitable, and more importantly, the untouched mountains have fertile black sand soil covered with fallen leaves all year round, which is an excellent place to cultivate the orchid.
Initially accepted the master's arrangement, thinking about finding a way out for the sect of Yaowang Valley, because of the changes of the world, if it does not keep pace with the times, the development of the sect will face a greater dilemma, so Zhao Yili hopes to use the cultivation of high-end cash crops to get out of the first step of the sect's Zhongxing, and then how to develop depends on the future opportunities.
Properly settled the 50,000 flower seedlings, everyone gradually clarified the big things that the little junior brother was planning, a dust Taoist looked at the calm and confident little disciple, a shot is such a big stroke, and also a sustainable development of the idea of clear display in front of the eyes, at this time everyone looked at him naturally completely different, at the beginning everyone also questioned the master to accept the little brother as an apprentice, now it seems that the master is really far-sighted, at least if it is really as the little brother for the economic value of this batch of orchids judgment, The money for repairing the mountain gate will definitely be able to be earned.
Therefore, during the dinner, the old master of Dachang rarely let the elder brother open two jars of wine made with mountain fruits and the unique secret recipe of Shanmen.
The senior brother patted the mud open, and a thick aroma of wine instantly wafted out, and before he could dip his lips, it made people feel in his heart, maybe it was a non-alcoholic who had been doing wine for many years in his previous life, so that Zhao Yili immediately moved his index fingers when he smelled the mellow aroma of wine, and quickly stood up and poured wine for the master and brother, but Yunxiu also asked for a full bowl of green daughter red on the grounds that today was the big day of the master.
Everyone drank a lot and chatted for a long time, and even the third senior brother sighed, as if he hadn't said so much in the past three years.
Soon the master was a little drunk, and he talked about it intentionally or unintentionally, these jars of wine were brewed and buried when Yunxiu first went up the mountain, and it was almost 8 years in a flash, and everyone also talked about why the three senior brothers were all monks, but Yunxiu had always entered the world to practice.
As a result, Zhao Yili and Yun Xiu, who had not drunk for a long time, were both drunk, so I won't make a detailed list here.
